we could always takeover ourselves somehow, that aside there is a Huge reservoir of oil in austria that was not tapped otl but we could "find" it thanks to our future knowledge, then theirs also the mittelplate reservoir in germany's naval waters, then theirs oil we can "find" in Japanese china.Future Problems to be adressed in council:
Oil: Germany does not have large supply of it. In fact, oil is contributed as a mayor factor why ww2 was lost when supply-lines crumbled together and airplanes/tanks were stranded/incapable of doing their duty. The longer we will have a war without fresh (and constant) supply, we will have a problem.
-Short-term: Trade with Britain/Soviet Union. Africa is out due to Drakka-influence, i would say.
-Long-Term: Annex Norway? I hate to mention this even, but they do have the largest untapped ressources of Oil in Europe. At least in our world. The GM may change that so we can not be sure. Aside from the political/moral issues of annexing a country.
-Alternative: Synthetic oil/fuel? This is science-fiction, after all. We should consider this until we have alternative sources of Energy.
The Regime: Playing as ourselves gives us the aftertaste of playing for the man who is widely considered the most (successful and brutal) Dictator in the past 100 years. His politics and morals are twisted while his charisma and ability to inspire a former broken nation to become a mayor power in a bid for total conquest are undeniable. Since we are ourselves, we can not allow the NSDAP to continue in its current form. The problem? We need strong leadership. Not a strong leader, but literally someone who can turn a nation into a threat for the Drakka-Empire which will knock on our door. As much as it galls me to admit it, Hitler could be that man. So what to do? Some alternatives:
-Assassinate Hitler/NSDAP leadership and replace them with more politically moderate people. Dangerous. We could probably make it happen with a few rounds of devoted actions without inciting a mayor civil war (which we really shouldnt), but we need replacements in the making which we can control without them being incompetent or weak enough to be subverted. We could create a worse monster than Hitler this way and nurse it, but we would have done our duty to at least have said "we replaced the one we knew to be evil and took a chance".
-Direct Regime. We can use actions to not prevent Nazi-Germany from rising, but to use that surge to strengthen ourselves for the battle ahead of us and to curb the worst crimes of Nazi-German. Examples would be mass-deportation of jewish population to the Allied nations instead of mass-extermination. We could direct the Burning of the Reichstag not to the Jews, but the Drakka and create a whole new line of racism/supremecy. This option galls me, but i will be first to admit that it has merits.
-Go "Legit" and discredit the fascists in order to return to a different form of government. With our knowledge of Events in the real world, we may be able to destroy Hitlers influence and return to Democracy (or Monarchy/Despotism/whatever). What if we give proof of the Reichstag-burning being an act of Party-Leadership? What if we give proof to the german people and the world of atrocities being done and overthrow the fascist regime in order to join the Allies (or even the Soviets). Or become our own, different, government. This is a long-term plan. We would need to start quickly in order to create powerful movements against the leading party without inciting a civil war (which, again, would be bad).
as for trade we could always trade with america rather easily.
