The arms purchase meeting was held in a large two-story conference room in the Imperial Palace, and almost all business owners received the news, and some civilian business owners were surprised that they had received the invitation.

Those large military enterprises who learned the news in advance will have some fresh faces around them, Adrian was sitting on the jumping platform on the second floor with Moltke Jr., Hindenburg and others at this time, quietly looking at the bottom and not communicating. As the actual decision-makers of the war, Moltke Jr. and Hindenburg were very interested in this arms purchase meeting, which was due to the successive beautiful victories of the 1st Panzer Division. Eric Adrian, the creator and user of the armed transporter, already had a place in the hearts of both of them, and the arms purchase meeting he initiated was bound to be simple.

Brauchitsch, as the executor and moderator of the meeting, cut to the point after a brief opening, turned his body sideways, and gave way to the curtain behind him. Everyone then saw a curtain of black letters on a white background slowly falling. Some of the above rules are required, and a group of soldiers hand out a thin book of rules from both sides.

I saw that the great curtain was written;

The meeting was divided into three parts: the bidding for the army's military procurement project, the air force's military procurement project, and the navy's military procurement project.

Everyone was stunned for a moment when they watched the Air Force military procurement project bidding for this project, can the aircraft still be a military force of its own? Not only were the business owners stunned for a moment, but even Moltke and Hindenburg's eyes lit up, did this kid have any ideas? With a successful example of armed transport, could this Air Force project have the same effect? Both of them thought about it separately to see if they had missed something, and whether those planes that took on reconnaissance missions could also have the effect of influencing the war?

Bidding for military procurement projects will be carried out for a week in a row for each major project.

When the military announces a specific project, the business owner needs to fill in more than 100 blanks according to the actual situation, and each space is 1~10 points. For example, the performance index of parts is one point, and the number of mass production and mass production time division of the process is a question and answer question. Business owners need to fill in according to the actual situation, the military will give different scores of 0~10 points according to their own needs, and the people with the highest scores will have a high probability of winning the bid, because the military does not explicitly say that the highest score will definitely win the project, but give priority. It's not just business owners who get such a demonstration form, but even Moltke Jr. and Hindenburg get it. It is no wonder that a project has a week's bidding time, which is to integrate the resources that can be used as soon as possible after giving everyone time to get the rules, which is why there are civilian enterprises present. Because their factories can help more or less in the manufacturing of military products, Adrian didn't do too much explanation work in order to save time, and pulled them over to the meeting. As for the Navy's military procurement project, it is actually a smoke bomb, in order to alleviate Moltke Jr. and Hindenburg's resistance to the Army project, but also to do work for the Air Force project. I support the military purchase of the naval project, but I did not explicitly say that this is a plan for the creation of submarines. But this gesture still has to be given, although there are not many relevant companies present. Adrian certainly has some naval purchases, but not as much as the first two. According to his plan, the percentage comparison by the number of sub-projects is 65% for the army, 30% for the air force, and the remaining 5% for the navy. This was also in line with the German Empire's consistent continental policy.

The advantages of this bidding method are obvious, when the enterprise wants to bid, it will take the initiative to make up for its own shortcomings, and its own size is basically not considered, everyone is a competitor, but those who do not have the ability to win the entire project of small enterprises are different. For example, in the case of the project of the armed transporter, Krupp provided the materials, Benz provided the engine and transmission, and the Mauser Arsenal provided the armament, while the Eric Group only provided the drawings and performance indicators, and the final assembly was completed by the tractor factory in Dresden. At that time, the production capacity of the Mauser Arsenal was very limited, in order to expand production, Adrian rescued several almost abandoned civilian enterprises, and the factory that produced large pipes transformed the machine to temporarily produce artillery, although the life of the manufactured products decreased, but it could be temporarily replaced, and the manufacturing of heating pipe equipment was transformed to make gun barrels. He made use of everything he could think of and what he could use, and finally made up enough of it before the launch of the Dou Operation.

Brauchitsch did not make everyone wait long, the data of the first bidding project GVT-1 (abbreviation of rifle test model, project name) were published on a curtain for everyone to see, and then a questionnaire was distributed to every business owner, whether civilian or military-industrial. Only gave everyone a few minutes to react, and announced more than a dozen army projects in this form in a row, at noon lunchtime, Adrian arranged a place to eat in a canteen in the prince's palace in order to keep it secret, but he and Moltke, Hindenburg and others basically didn't see a few people eating here, and they all hurriedly took some food and left. The places that were originally used to rest are occupied by various business owners at this time, and the business owners who have not grabbed the room will also find some places away from others to get together for heated discussions, all striving to grab more orders.

After seeing this situation, Adrian called the secretary to clear out the upper and lower floors of the entire conference room, a total of three floors, and then pasted the initials of each business owner company on the door.

Then a sign for military procurement bidding was hung at the top of the staircase.
