Has the news from the Germans been confirmed?" Robert Mark said in the office of the general manager of the Mark Motor Company headquarters.

"Yes, the authenticity of the news has been confirmed. The Bavarian government is indeed going to bid for a batch of trucks. These trucks require to be able to drive on bad roads in Eastern Europe and are strong and reliable. The coverage ranges from 1 to 5 tons, with a total number of about 3,000 vehicles. Unlike Prussia in the north, this time Bavaria is facing the whole of Europe. Italians also want to participate, and the French will not be excluded." said the assistant next to him.

"This is really a considerable order, and it seems there is a follow-up?" Robert Mark asked.

"That's right, our friend in Germany sent a message that if the Bavarian government thinks this batch of cars is easy to use, it will be of great help to the subsequent bidding work of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. You and I are very clear that in fact, these two countries have a common brain." The assistant said excitedly.

"Well, it's good." Robert said nodded. But the only thing that made Robert worried was, what was the attitude of the French government towards this matter? Now that the war is over, the French government is trying hard to downplay the hostility between them. If it is normal trade, it will definitely not be affected. But, during the war, the company not only produced cars and trucks, but also one of the important manufacturers of French heavy engineering vehicles and self-propelled artillery chassis! (at least the plane is)

This technology is very sensitive to the present. Although Germany also has its own system heavy vehicles, the French also have their own unique features. For example, the heavy chassis of the GPF series self-propelled artillery, Germany does not have similar products. Even self-propelled artillery modified with wolf tanks can only be loaded to the level of 150MM cannons, such as directly using M heavy naval guns? At least the Germans do not have one now!

"Our friends in the government suggest that this is not a problem," the assistant said.

"Why?" Robert. Logo frowned slightly. He was a little confused about this.

"Economicly, the Germans allowed a batch of vehicles to offset the compensation. The remaining portion could also be paid in US dollars. You know, France's exports are very limited now and the government lacks enough US dollars. Before the economies of European countries recovered, the US dollar was a real hard currency." The assistant said.

"In terms of industrial structure, the war is over and we still lose. In the future, especially in the heavy vehicle market, France's demand will be very low. Unless the government is willing to see the decline of the French automobile industry, it must make some compromises to allow the Germans' orders to support French automobile companies." The assistant said.

"It seems that this is very good news for us. Please help me find out the phone number of Louis, Renault, Andre Citroen, and I want to contact them." After hesitating for a moment, Robert Standard said.

"You wouldn't have notified these two companies, right? Although the orders for 3,000 vehicles are not large, it is definitely not enough for the three companies to divide them together. We have the initiative now, and we know this matter earlier than them! There is more preparation time. You are very clear that Renault also has the production technology of heavy vehicles and even tanks, which is not inferior to us in technology. Citroen has very high production efficiency. Their production line management technology is the strongest in France, and it has a great advantage in cost!" The assistant said in shock.

The logo is different from Renault and Citroen. If the latter only began to rise after engaging in industry, then the logo family first established a strong family force and then developed into the automobile industry. The logo family can even be pushed forward to 150 years ago in industrial industry!

Therefore, this gives the logo family a very good connection in the government and related departments. There are some friends in other European countries. This is nothing strange. The Estehazi family in Hungary can spread to France, so there is nothing strange about some friends in Germany. Moreover, the earliest logo car was used as Daimler-Benz engine! And now Robert Logo wants to share this news with two other competitors!

"It is necessary to unite and then open up the markets of Germany and Austro-Hungary. You will not think that Bavarian Industrial Group, Daimler-Benz, and Prussian Automobile Company are the ones we can resist and compete with each other, right?" Robert.

Historically, the German automobile industry can be described as a weak chicken, but this plane is different, first of all, Bavaria! With the support of Ruprecht's large amount of funds and the help of assembly production lines and scientific management, the development speed of the German automobile industry has completely surpassed that of France. If the sedan industry with a unique French style can open up the high-end market of German civilian cars. (There is no way, the French style was indeed very popular at that time. Even William II had a French painting teacher...) Then France generally has no advantage in the truck industry.

Well, what should the French do if they want to bid for German orders now? The best way is naturally to join forces! The logo company has advantages in vehicles above 3.5 tons, Renault has advantages in vehicle production of 1.5 tons to 3 tons, while Citroen has advantages in assembly line production and management costs. So, this order can naturally allow the three companies to divide it together, and even if this bid can be won this time, it is OK for everyone to build a new automobile production company in the future.

As for Robert's opinion, whether it was Louis, Renault, Andre, Citroen, and others naturally had no reason to object. So the three finalized the cooperation plan and were ready to discuss with the representatives from Germany at any time! That's right, this time, the Kingdom of Bavaria will send a delegation to European countries to reach an agreement on some issues before the formal technical tender! Only after the other party agrees with some requirements will the other party be allowed to participate in the tender!

Although Ruprecht hopes to include the industries of other countries into his system and hopes to control other European countries through economic means, the real money in his hands cannot be spent in vain, and everything has a price! And this price is to join the trade barriers set by Germany with technology and specifications, which are targeted at the United States and the United Kingdom! Ruprecht wants to gradually cut off the relationship between the European continent and the United States and Britain through this means!
