Adrian, although surprised by Fokker's involvement, did not rush to rule it out. He was very curious about where Fokker's self-confidence was, although the aero engine and the engine used on land are both called engines, they can be used in different ways, and the original intention of the design is also different, although there is experience, but it takes time to change the design, which will suffer in terms of time, not to mention the need to rectify the existing equipment for the production of aircraft and put it into the production of tanks, which is inevitably a bit of a loss of one or the other. After all, the Air Force bidding project has not yet begun, and it is still unknown how big the meat is, is Fokker a little anxious now?

Thinking about this strange situation a little, while finishing the scoring without delay, it was only ten minutes in between, Hindenburg and Moltke Jr. did not have any big opinions on the scores of the 6 bidding papers given by Adrian, after all, this is only the first round, and the third round is the key.

To be honest, Adrian's score to Fokker was not fair, even a little harsh, and it was also psychological, not wanting to affect the next Air Force bidding project. Therefore, the score given is the last place, and after the ranking was announced, several main leaders of Fokker Company were not surprised, but calmly filled in the data they had long expected again. The first place is Krupp, the most senior, the largest military industrial enterprise, and the conditions he gives are not affordable to other enterprises that have temporarily formed gangs. The second place is the dark horse Porsche, which is ranked above the Dresden Arsenal. The third place went to the Dresden Arsenal, the fourth place went to Rheinmetall, the fifth place went to Benz, and the sixth place went to Fokker.

Except for Porsche's second place, which is more surprising, this ranking is also in line with their expectations.

The second round of bidding only took a few minutes to hand over, the second round is a psychological game for everyone, but also a test of the waters, can change in the second round of the ranking to rise and squeeze others down, are in the third round of continued bidding qualifications. Still ranked fourth, fifth, or even sixth, they have not been able to give any concessions in the third round.

The second round of bidding papers was delivered, in fact, there was no major change from the first round, only some changes in cost price and working hours, seniority, big business can naturally have room for concessions in this aspect, but the small business owners are not thinking about drinking soup at this time, but technology! They are only now discovering that no technical fart is not, technology is king, even if the order is lost, but also have production and design experience, which is the most important thing. So the ranking in the second round also surprised Adrian, and Krupp's ranking was squeezed down.

Brauchitsch got the bid that had been scored, and read it aloud: "Sixth place Benz Company." As soon as these words came out, a group of people led by Benz and others suddenly felt powerless, this was the best plan they could come up with, and they fell to sixth place, which shows how determined the others are. Carl Bentz, a lean old man, shook his head weakly when he heard their rankings, lamenting that he was old. You must know that he is very confident that he will get 50% of the performance indicators that account for 60% of the rating, and he has done his best to find a partnership for other links such as production, but he is still only ranked sixth.

The three people sitting in the stands actually knew the ranking of the second round for a long time, and they also knew that Bentz's sixth place was actually very wrong, and he was only 1 point away from the fifth place, which was a difference in cost.

Brauchitsch paused and then read: "Fifth place, Dresden Arsenal." ”

In an uproar, the scene suddenly became lively, and the Dresden Arsenal, which finished third in the first round, dropped 2 places.

didn't wait for everyone to be surprised, and even more exciting news detonated the audience with Brauchitsch's words.

"Fourth place, Krupp."

Hearing Brauchitsch's quote, the scene was more than lively, and the entire group of business owners led by Gustav Krupp were stunned, and the people around them looked at them one after another, as if they did not understand why the Krupp company, which had gathered a group of people, only won the fourth place.

Immediately afterwards, Brauchitsch said: "Third place, Rheinland"

Everyone was still speculating about who would win the higher rankings between Rheinland and the remaining two, but it turned out that the most competitive company was only in third place. Could it be that Porsche won the second round? Fokker was able to take second place? Don't they want an Air Force order? Or are you looking to shift your focus?

Brauchitsch did not make everyone wait long for the final ranking, but quickly said: "The second place, Porsche, and the first place is Fokker." ”

In fact, before Brauchitsch finished announcing the first place, the scene was already very hot, and I didn't expect that Fokker, who was at the bottom of the first round, could get the first place in the second round.

In fact, not only these business owners, but even the three people in the stands were taken aback by the original bid score. Compared with the first round, the scores given by everyone are already relatively high, but Fokker directly changed their policy, and the answers given in the second round of bidding papers are very different from the first round. It is even lower than Krupp in terms of man-hours and cost price, and it also has almost a perfect score in performance indicators. Of course, these are only the data given on paper, and the specific test stage and the finished product are still unknown, but it can also be seen from the side that Fokker is confident in technology, cost, and man-hours, and it is obvious that they are not clear about the situation of the army's weapons and equipment in the first round.
