What if Hitler and Stalin had agreed to go on a full on Axis Pact after the Fall of France? Let's say some PODs could be Germany discovering the Matzen, Schoonebeek oil fields, along with a few more more oil fields in North Germany and Hungary in the early 30s?

That way Germany would not see Romania as being so important and possibly concede to Soviet demands of territory for Romania. Could it be realistically possible for Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union to conceivably work together in SeaLion? I would say that a role the Soviets coulld take would be to maunfacture trucks and landing craft fro Nazi Germany as part of their pact, since Germany doesn't have much of an oil issue anymore and maybe the Soviets just in their submarine force as to minimize their manpower losses?

I believe that in terms of manpower it could be done, but what POD could change Hitlers view in making the Soviets side full on to defeat Britain? Couldn't Hitler see an oppurtunity of a Red army stretched across Eastern Europe along with portions of the Middle East as making Operation Barbarossa possibly less of a challenge? How could the the political ramifications be overcome for them to join in on it?
