Just as the Pacific was full of war, in the distant Bavarian palace, Crown Prince Ruprecht was busy with another thing. Just a few days ago, the Crown Prince sent an invitation letter to major aircraft manufacturers in his own name to the German Empire. The invitation letter was to talk about the future development of the aviation industry. It was formally informal, but both the organizers and the invited ones were undoubtedly very important, because in addition to the Bavarian Kingdom represented by Ruprecht, Prince Estehazi, who had been promoted to Minister of Transport of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, also participated. The meeting consisted of an empire and a kingdom as the background, so who could underestimate it?

Therefore, before the meeting was officially held, the invited presidents of three famous German aircraft manufacturers arrived in Munich in advance and prepared to communicate with Ernst Heinrich Heinker, technical consultant of the Bavarian Aviation Administration. Before contacting the official, these famous aviation giants first had an internal closed-door consultation.

"Sorry, you two, have you been waiting for a long time." With the thick oak door opened, the founder of Junker Aircraft Manufacturing Factory and pioneer of the German aviation industry, Hugo Junkers, who once served as the technical consultant of the famous Earl Zeppelin and established the first wind tunnel in Germany, appeared at the door. At this time, in the conference room, Anthony Folk, the founder of Folk Company, and Claude Donier, the founder of Dounier, had been waiting for a long time. For the latter two, Hugo Junkers, who was born in 1859, was an absolute senior, and the first wind tunnel he designed and built in Germany also benefited the other two companies.

Of course, there is another point that Junckers is more NB than the two people. They are not only the director of the aircraft manufacturer, but also the director of the engine manufacturer! The JUMO series engine produced by Junckers Engine Manufacturing Company is one of the three major engines in Germany. The other two are Daimler's DB series engines and the BM series engines of the Bavarian aircraft manufacturer!

"It's not time yet, so you don't need to apologize." Claude Donier said with a smile.

"You can take a look at this first. This is the meeting memorandum provided by Bavaria to us. The main content of this discussion is the future civil aviation industry, with coverage of passenger aircraft, cargo aircraft, and seaplanes. Of course, it will definitely involve military transport aircraft." Junckers said.

"Are large civilian aircraft? This is the place where two of them are good at. Junkers has produced transport aircraft, and Doneill is good at seaplanes. My Folk is just a small company that produces single-engine fighter jets, and my identity is a bit embarrassing." Anthony Folk said with a wry smile.

From a professional counterpart perspective, Junckers and Donier have produced at least twin-engine aircraft. During the war, these two aircraft manufacturers also produced many aircraft designed by the Bavarian aircraft manufacturer. They can be said to be experienced, and both of them are native Germans.

What about Anthony Folk? He was a Dutch. Although he helped Germany produce fighter jets during the war, the Germans were somewhat worried because of their Dutch identity. And the German government asked Folk to change its nationality. However, after Japan's invasion of the Dutch East India, Germany and the Netherlands were further approaching, the matter was stopped. However, in the aviation field, Folk's identity was indeed a bit embarrassing.

"Anthony, you're overthinking. At least in Bavaria, no one will cause trouble for you because of your Dutch identity. As a Bavarian, I am very confident in my king and government, and they are willing to accept all capable people. In those days, the Count Rio Kuniberty, the brilliant commission that created the Bavarian Ship Design Bureau, is an example. Maybe you will become the second one." Claude Donier said with a smile.

"Overall, I think the situation is not good for the current private enterprises, because the war is over, the overall demand for aircraft will drop significantly. As for some of the projects mentioned in the document, such as postal aircraft, freight aircraft can be replaced by retired bombers, and the K8 and K6 are very good transport aircraft. If it is a passenger aircraft, I think if it is not necessary, I will still tend to take cars or trains." Dornier said with a wry smile.

Although he is a seaplane and is also preparing to build a passenger plane, but how to say, the comfort of the airplane is really bad. The sealing is not good, and the temperature outside is also the inside of the airplane. If you fly a little higher, you have to bring your own cold-proof clothes. The failure rate is relatively high. Taking a plane is also a challenge to the passenger's courage, and the economy is not good. Although wooden planes are simple to make and are nothing as war consumables, it is very cumbersome if you consider civil maintenance. It can even be said that if there is no government payment for the support, civil aviation will almost lose money!

(This is indeed a fact. Historically, by the late 1920s and early 1930s, there were more than 100 routes in the world, but the average lifespan of these routes was only more than one year, and before the DC2 level passenger planes came out, the transportation of aircraft personnel was not profitable!)

"It is indeed not economically cost-effective. If long-distance transportation is mentioned, the economic benefits of aircraft are not as good as those of airships. But you and I know that with the development of technology in the future, it will be a historical necessity for aircraft to replace airships. Our crown prince also believes so, and His Highness expressed his willingness to help us survive this darkest moment before dawn." Junckers said.

"The government will provide us with financial support or subsidies? So what form will this subsidy be? Should we directly give aircraft manufacturers? Or subsidies to airlines?" Fok asked.

"It may be there, or it may be given to airlines, but the possibility of giving directly to factories is not high. Our crown prince likes to compete fully. He hopes that various companies can come up with the best products they design and then give us returns through orders." Junckers said.

"If this is the case, I think we can divide each other's business scope. Junckers can do transport planes, Mr. Dornier's company can do seaplanes, and I want to try the civil aviation industry." Anthony Folk said with a smile.
