Autumn has entered Rome in September, and the joy of this harvest is felt not only by the farmers, but also by the shipyards. The heads of the major shipyards gathered together with their chief designers.

"Hello Mr. Martley, your Genoese shipyard has been doing so well lately, and I am so envious that the five 15,000-ton cargo ships of the Gute Trading Company have not been able to fill your dock."

"You don't know this, if our shipyard takes over these five cargo ships, they are almost poor and can't solve the pot, how can it be like you haven't had a big order for half a year, and you are still alive so moisturized, I really envy!"

"How can it, isn't this to prepare for receiving orders from the Navy, prepare in advance, prepare in advance."

The two shipyard directors who were not smiling turned around and left with their hands, which also announced that neither of them could test each other.

Those who come are all competitors, and they can really get along. You ridicule me for not being able to place an order, I mock you for not being able to open the pot for half a year, everyone is half a catty.

Of course, they are both shipyards, and there are also big and small ones, but among the heads of each shipyard, everyone also has a tacit understanding, such as the head of the Andosal shipyard, Aika Lugny, and the head of the Venetian shipyard, Matthias Horn, who are even more attacked. All kinds of good things that don't want money keep talking, trying to get some out of the way.

There is no way, it is not easy for everyone to survive, and they dare not underestimate the two largest shipyards in Italy. After all, the other side has weapons of mass destruction, two top warship designers.

In the end, everyone is still at a loss and wants to test their mouths.

However, Lugoney and Horn are also the heads of top shipyards, and who can run top shipyards is a fuel-efficient lamp, so naturally they are very tight, and the temptation is not effective at all.

Compared with the heads of these shipyards, the designers are much simpler, although everyone is worried about being favored by the Navy, but the technicians, what else can they talk about when they finally get together, it is naturally a technical topic.

"I like the scissor bow, which is good at sinking and stable, and it's also quite adapted to high-speed sailing, and I think as time goes on, there will be more and more warships using the scissor bow."

One designer was talking about the German flying scissor bow, and since they were talking about it, there were naturally different opinions, which was not only said by another designer.

"I don't think so, I have also learned about this kind of bow, its construction is very harsh, it needs to be pressed by a 10,000-ton hydraulic press, and the process requirements are also very high, which will push up its cost. Although this kind of bow has advantages, it is too expensive to build, although I do not have specific data on the use of this kind of bow, but even the Germans who invented it themselves did not use it much, which is enough to explain a lot. Either the results were not satisfactory, or the cost was too high for even the Germans themselves to afford. ”

In the face of the refutation of his peers, the designer also argued with the reason.

"Although I also admit that there are currently too high costs to limit its use, it seems to me that this cost will definitely come down over time, just like the replacement of wooden warships with steel warships. Maybe in ten years, we will be able to see flying scissor warships all over the world. ”

"No, ten years is too short, I think it will be at least twenty or thirty years before it is possible. Because the process requirements are too demanding, unless the machine is as dexterous as our hands. ”

The argument between the two designers immediately attracted everyone's attention in the small conference room, which naturally attracted everyone's attention considering that they were talking about the future development of the flying scissor type, and that they were all big names in shipbuilding and design.

And at this time, someone said loudly. "Lord Brin, you are an old-timer in the warship design industry, which of them do you say is more correct?"

Well, all eyes were drawn to Brin this moment.

Facing everyone's eyes, Brin was a little caught off guard but not panicked, and immediately said in his calm voice. "I don't know when the bow will be used on a large scale. But if you want to get everyone's attention, it is nothing more than a point, the role of the device is greater than the cost. As long as we can understand this truth, we don't have to worry about when the flying scissor bow will be able to be used. ”

Brin's answer was very clever, not only bypassing the main point of contention, but also ending the argument between the two sides, which was very good.

And Brin's performance drew praise from Horn who watched it all from afar.

"His Excellency Brin is worthy of high morality, and it is really wonderful to end this debate with a single remark. With Brin's help, the Andosal shipyard will continue to grow. ”

Well, Horn praised Brin in the first sentence, and said the second sentence to Lugoney next to him.

In the face of Horn's praise, Lugoni smiled silently, but who knows the bitterness in his heart?

If it weren't for the fact that the Venetian shipyard was dominated by naval orders, he would have thought that this one was trying to mock him.

Speaking of which, Lord Brin contributed to the development and growth of the Andosal shipyard, he should not have said anything. But there are some things that can only be swallowed to the stomach, and there is no way to say it. Especially when he saw that genius Vittorio Cuniberti, the anguish in his heart was even heavier.

Well, this is the chief designer of the coveted other side. But some things are really like this, you may not miss them if you don't have them, but after a short period of time, you will inevitably regret them, and he Lugoni is in this state.

Especially the better the other party, the more distressed he is, such a talent can provide at least 30 years of technical support for his own shipyard. But it's useless to think about it now, if you have this time, you still have to see if there are any young heroes who are rising, and you also need to pray that God will take old Brin away later.

The reason for all this is that His Excellency Brin is too dedicated, and his dedication to the door has kept out the young men who have ideas.

Well, no matter how you evaluate Your Excellency Brin, this is the bidding site for naval shipbuilding, and everyone is here for naval orders.

So when His Excellency Admiral Matthaus Yagir, the Minister of the Navy, appeared with the senior officers of the Navy, he immediately made the big guy aware that the tender meeting was about to begin.

"Everyone, welcome to this bidding meeting, for this bidding meeting ......"

After Admiral Yagill's brief opening remarks, he continued. "In this bidding, our navy will not have the slightest reduction in the indicators, so if the design drawings cannot meet our requirements, please consider carefully."

Admiral Yagill's words immediately made the meeting hall turn their heads and ears, and the news was too shocking.

You must know that everyone has participated in the bidding meeting before, and it has never been so strict as today, is there something that you don't know?

Faced with the situation in front of him, Admiral Yagill did not explain anything, but instead began to kick off the bidding meeting.
