Messerschmitt sighed and said: "It seems that I have completely offended Mirch this time, and if I don't win the Romanian project, the future of BFW is worrying." ”

This was true historically, as Milch later became Deputy Minister of Aviation in the Third Reich. As early as 1926, Milch began to lobby the German military, and with its support the establishment of the national airline, the German Lufthansa, after the establishment of the Lufthansa Air Force, Lufthansa provided a large number of pilots, and when the German Ministry of Aviation was established, Milch was also able to serve as deputy minister. It is indeed not a trivial matter to offend such a big person.

Juncker said sympathetically: "Willy, this is indeed not trivial, even I had to be careful in my cooperation with Lufthansa, for fear of offending this big man." But I'd like to talk to you and see if this big man can ignore it. ”

Messerschmidt was grateful: "Thank you very much, then." Still, we're going to go all out in this bidding, you know, hahaha! ”

Junker also stood up and said: "Yes, this is my impression of Dr. Willy, our Junkers company will not retreat either, I hope the company that won the bid this time is one of the two of us." It's not too early, so I'll take my leave, let's all rest early, and tomorrow's bidding will be very lively. I'm old, but I can't compare to you young people! ”

Messerschmidt and Philip also got to their feet and sent Juncker out the door. The two then went on to discuss the details of tomorrow's bidding meeting.

The next morning, the Royal Romanian Air Force arrived at the guest house on time, and the two delegations drove in two cars to the headquarters of the Royal Romanian Air Force. In fact, it was only about three kilometers away from the guest house, and the car quickly arrived at the place where the tender was held.

The tender meeting was held in a small conference room, and when the BFW and Junkers people entered, Philip found that there were already more than 20 people seated, including about 20 people in Romanian military uniforms, and four people in civilian clothes sitting in a corner, all of whom had a sign in front of them, but Philip did not know Romanian characters, so he could only guess that the four people in civilian clothes were probably from the Romanian Aviation Industry Company.

Juncker came to the bidding meeting with Juncker himself, as well as Vincent and two other middle-aged people. Under the guidance of the Royal Romanian Air Force, all eight people sat in the positions that had been arranged long ago.

In charge of presiding over the tender was Manekozi, the commander of the Royal Romanian Air Force, a middle-aged general with a hooked nose, and a pair of eagle eyes flashed from time to time. However, he showed great friendliness to the representatives of the two companies from Germany.

Manecozi exclaimed: "Today is a very memorable day, where our Royal Romanian Air Force commercial transport and trainer aircraft competitions will be held, and we welcome two prestigious delegations from German aircraft manufacturing companies, and we welcome them to this event!" ”

With that, Manecozzi stood up and began to applaud in welcome. The rest of the people also stood up, smiling at the Junkers and BFW.

After the translator immediately translated Manekozi's words into German, Philippe and they understood. So they also stood up and nodded their heads in thanks.

Manecozi raised his hand and pressed it downward, then said loudly: "Alright! Sit down, everybody. Today's bidding will open now. A total of three companies participated in this bidding, namely the Romanian Aviation Industry Company, the German Junker Aircraft Manufacturing Company, and the German Bavarian Aircraft Manufacturing Company. For these companies, we in the Royal Air Force must be no strangers, right? They are very strong aircraft manufacturers and we are very much looking forward to seeing what they will be able to do with our Royal Air Force." The bidding process is very simple, first ask each company to send your proposal information to our review committee, then each of the three companies send a representative to demonstrate and explain your plan to the review committee, and finally our review committee will combine all aspects of factors to score your plan, and we will notify you of the final result within a month. Well, that's the process, do the representatives of the companies have any opinions? With that, Manekozi turned his attention to the representatives of the three companies.

By the time the translator had translated Manekozi's words, Philippe had finally figured out the bidding process. In terms of fairness, there is no problem in itself, but there is a big problem with the final review results, because the review process is not public, so there will be a lot of operability, so it seems that Romanian Aviation Industry Company is indeed likely to win the bid, unless the other two companies' proposals are very good, good enough to impress the review committee and Manecozi, it is possible to win the bid. If the performance of the scheme is not too different from the plan of the Romanian Aviation Industry Company, then the result must be that the Romanian Aviation Industry Company won the bid, after all, there is a tradition in any country, that is, from the perspective of protecting the domestic aviation industry, as far as possible to purchase the products of the domestic aviation enterprises.

Seeing that the two members of the delegation of the German aircraft manufacturing company did not say anything, Manekozi nodded and said: "Well, in this case, the bidding meeting will officially begin." Representatives of each company are invited to submit 10 copies of your bids to our judging committee. ”

Messerschmidt hurriedly asked Dlocker to bring ten carefully prepared overall plans for the design of commercial transport aircraft and trainer aircraft to the review committee, but Philip saw that the representatives of the Romanian Aviation Industry Company seemed to be confident, and they did not show the slightest fear in the face of the two powerful German aviation manufacturing enterprises. This situation is really surprising, considering that the Romanian aviation industry company is still very weak at the moment, and Philip is really a little unconvinced that they can come up with a very good solution.

Then there is only one possibility, that is, if there is no accident in this bid, it is almost decided that the Romanian Aviation Industry Company will win the bid. This situation is also very common in later generations, but sometimes there are accidents, such as in the bidding process of China's third-generation fighter jets. Because the plan of a design unit in the south was too good, the plan for the north that had been decided was changed, and the project was finally taken away by the design unit in the south. It has to be said that anything can happen with unexpected exceptions.
