Chapter 1896: Open and Honest Five

"I think everyone has misunderstood what I mean." Ruprecht said calmly: "This is a department that focuses on technology and planning, rather than representing the actual distribution of benefits."

"For example, let's take the issue of military industry bidding mentioned by Prince Albert just now. If the empire needs a brand new tank, then the best way is naturally to invite bids across the country, and then provide it from various factories. Choose the best one among the design proposals. Although the winning bidder can only have one factory, it doesn’t mean that this factory can take all the orders, right?”

"Fuck! Can you still operate like this?!" Everyone immediately understood what the prince meant. Theoretically, whoever wins the bid can indeed take all the orders. This is like the future Sukhoi Design Bureau will not produce MiG aircraft, and the Mikoyan Design Bureau cannot get Sukhoi's orders. However, there are exceptions to everything. For example, Lockheed Martin designed the F35, and Boeing can also get a share of the F35 order. For the latter, this is the scope of state regulation.

"Actually, there are precedents for this kind of thing. For example, the 77MM rapid-fire gun produced by Krupp, except for the caliber, most of the other accessories and technologies are the same as the 75MM rapid-fire gun produced by Bavaria. We can understand it as Bavaria's design won the bid, but the profits are not shared by the Bavaria family." Ruprecht said with a smile.

"If the dispute over economic interests can be resolved, then I agree to a unified bidding for important equipment within the empire." Little Maoqi, who had been silent all this time, stood up to express his support this time!

"Damn it?! Is this a rebellion?" The Grand Duke of Baden and Prince Albert looked at the little Maoqi next to him with complicated eyes, and said in their hearts: "The so-called fortress is breached from the inside. This sentence really makes sense Ah! I haven't made a decision on my side yet, my comrades surrendered first..." Isn't this just cheating? !

"I also agree with this proposal. When I was on the Western Front, the army was troubled by the mismatch of accessories and equipment." Albert and Barter looked at the internal problems with some schadenfreude. During the Kaiser faction, there was a moth on his own side, and Colonel Buller, who had just offended the prince, jumped directly to the opponent's side...

As a soldier who used to mix in the grassroots, especially as a soldier who used the Wasp assault gun on the Western Front, Colonel Buhler was very impressed with the problems caused by the mismatch of the system! Parts such as the road wheels and tracks of the assault gun are vulnerable items, and the tracks need to be replaced every kilometer. Loadwheels are often destroyed in combat. And if it breaks, you need to replace the parts.

However, the sad reminder is that not only parts such as tracks and road wheels of Prussian armored vehicles are not common to those of Bavaria, but even nuts are not common! What is even more unbearable is that even within Prussia, parts produced by Krupp and parts produced by Rheinmetall are not common... . There was even an incident on the battlefield where an officer exchanged a pocket watch worth 20 marks for a wrench next door! No one here is more aware than Buhler of the harm caused by system incompatibility on the battlefield, because for grassroots personnel like them, a part may mean a life!

"I am very sad." Albert whispered to Barthe next to him.

"Presumably the Grand Duke of Baden is the same?" Barter said with a strange expression.

As for whether the statements of Moltke and Buhler are important in this meeting? Of course it is important! Take the Kaiser faction as an example, the Kaiser can still wear the imperial crown of the emperor, the little Mao Qi can be said to be a bow, without him to block the first round of attacks of the parliamentary army,

I am afraid that the Kaiser is about to consider the establishment of a constitutional monarchy. When the generals on the Western Front are indifferent, when other states in the empire are either overwhelmed or choose to remain silent, Little Moltke, who has just been reprimanded by the Kaiser, stood up and bravely defended his country. The emperor fulfilled his oath in the Black Hawk Knights.

The so-called people are not grass and trees can be ruthless. In the face of the pure soldier Moltke, William II was also very moved, so that the Kaiser promised many times that the chief of staff after the war would still be Moltke, and vowed to give Moltke the same treatment as Bismarck in the era of William I. And Little Maoqi said that he is a soldier, and he can only be a soldier! This attitude of little Moltke made the Kaiser feel even more guilty, so he gave the latter more trust. In fact, in the Kaiser's heart, the status of little Moltke is similar to that of the Grand Duke of Baden!

After the war, the Kaiser would definitely take back the military power from Crook and others, and the little Moltke was the most trusted person of the Kaiser. Under all kinds of guilt and trust, if the little Moltke agreed to the unified equipment in Germany, then the German No matter how much pressure the Kaiser faced, it was humane from a personal point of view, but from a national point of view, the Kaiser really didn't have many trustworthy allies...

In the same way, in the Federal Prussia established by the future parliamentarians, Buhler's status is similar to that of Little Moltke. Although the family started for a short time, it is the mainstay of the military power of the entire parliamentary faction. The Kaiser no longer trusts those generals, and it is even more impossible for the parliamentary faction to trust the officer corps of those Junker nobles! And what should we do if we want to rebuild our own military system? Naturally, it is based on the previous team, and now all the reliable military teams in the entire parliamentary faction are established by Colonel Buller...

The so-called professional things should be done by professional people. You can let Albert and Barthes quarrel in the parliament, but Colonel Cobbler must be needed to build the army, and to be honest, everyone knows that Buller The colonel has no political ambitions. Therefore, in the absence of Buhler's strong intervention in politics, both the right and the left in the Social Democratic Party agree with the team formed by Colonel Buhler to manage the Federal Prussian army.

"We can decide on the details of this committee, but I can assure everyone that even if a Bavarian company wins the bid for large-scale equipment such as tanks and aircraft, Bavaria will not take more than 60% of the overall profit." In this way, everyone agrees with the distribution of economic benefits, right?" said the prince.

"That is to say, we can refer to the mode of the rapid-fire gun?" Grand Duke Baden asked. If the problem of profit sharing can be solved, then Bavaria's suggestion is very good, and it is very kind for Bavaria to give up more than 40% of the proceeds if it wins the bid. You know, before the war started, the Rhine Metal contracted the supply of machine guns for the German army, but it didn't distribute it to others at all!
