Therefore, whether it is the current economic development or the future war, Germany and Austria must be prepared, especially in the production and use of motor vehicles! After all, when railway transportation cannot be guaranteed, road transportation can only be used to take on the main points!

Ruprecht will never think that there are too many things like trucks. During the war, there will only be insufficient materials, and there will be no oversupply of materials. Germany is like this, and in fact the United States is like this! Although the Crown Prince believes that domestic automobile companies in Germany and Austria can definitely achieve development far beyond the historical level in this plane. But Ruprecht will never put all hope on these capitalists! After all, the Crown Prince is too clear about what those capitalists do in history!

Look at the capabilities of German industry in history, then look at the actual arms output, look at the four-year paddling period from 1939 to 1942, and look at the explosive growth of German military industry in 1943 and 1944, under internal and external troubles, you can fully understand what it means to not cry without seeing the coffin, and not to fall into the wall without looking back! The perception of the various behaviors of German military enterprises made Ruprecht do not trust those companies in history!

For example, in history, Daimler-Benz has had very disgraceful behavior in the production of aircraft engines. Historically, Daimler-Benz produced most of the engines of German fighter jets in the early days of World War II, and the db601 series engines became famous all over the world with the success of the bf109 fighter jet. However, in the era of rapid technological change, the R&D speed is not fast enough means a regression. Mercedes-Benz also made two preparations during the R&D process. One was to continue to develop the subsequent product of the db601, the future db605, and the other was to develop a heavier engine, which is the famous db603 engine in the later generations!

In fact, compared with db605, db603 is obviously more difficult and production is also very difficult. Therefore, when the Luftwaffe wanted Daimler-Benz to switch to the production of db603 in Brandenburg, the latter expressed his refusal because based on the resources and company interests at that time, it was obviously inappropriate to switch to the production of db603 at this time.

However, when the Luftwaffe said that the DB603 must be increased production, Daimler-Benz, on the one hand, used the excuse of being able to produce a new DB605D engine, hoping that the Luftwaffe could rekindle its hope for the DB605 series. At the same time, taking advantage of the convenience of "there are people on it", it actually began to fool its competitor Simbu Nag (büssing-nag,) to produce the DB603... and tried to convince the other party that many parts of the DB603 and 605 engines are universal, and the military does not have many requirements. Just imagine, Daimler-Benz, as the R&D unit of the DB603, was unwilling to produce, and chose a simpler DB605. You asked another company that originally produced a load truck engine to produce a more complex DB603. Isn't this a buck-buck behavior?

Therefore, Ruprecht must have his own back-up, and building state-owned enterprises controlled by the government is an important measure. When necessary, it is another back-up to make up for the shortcomings of the military industry through trade through trade. As for whether there is a third back-up? Of course, there is. If the company is too low in efficiency, or the government mobilization will disobey the situation, then it is possible for the government to take over directly!

In the second measure, purchasing a large number of cars or military supplies from France when necessary is a very important part. In order to enable various vehicles produced in France to be used smoothly on the harsh road conditions of the Eastern Front and to exchange certain parts with vehicles produced in Germany. Then the French must make some technical preparations first, such as formulating a more detailed technical rule to improve the adaptability of the finished products to the Eastern Front environment and reduce the difficulty of logistics supply.

Of course, this kind of standardization-like measure must require French and German industrial enterprises to modify the current production model and specifications, which will definitely cause some trouble, but it is much better to have trouble now than to have trouble in the future! After all, Ruprecht is unwilling to see the tragic situation in history that three systems are similar to Tiger tanks, Leopard tanks and Tiger King tanks have been created, and each system is incompatible!

If French automobile companies are willing to set up factories in Germany and Austria, it is naturally welcome, especially Austria. In fact, with the capital and technical level of German companies, it is difficult for the French to get some cheaper in Germany, but there is a lot of potential in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, especially in the field of small cars. After all, in order to prepare for war, the Austro-Hungarian Empire's capital investment was mainly on load-carrying cars and special chassis. Now the cars run by Austro-Hungarian Empire are also produced by Tetrola and Bavarian Industrial Group. In addition, a Skoda company that is preparing for a large number of military to civilians, the domestic automobile market in Austro-Hungarian Empire is like this!

However, compared with the crown prince's emphasis on the French aviation industry, he did not attach so much importance to the French automobile industry. After all, the crown prince only needs the latter's output to make up for the shortcomings of German industry. As for the technical level, it is definitely not as good as the German local enterprises. As for the high-end upgraded version of the automobile industry, such as tanks, the French did not find any highlights in history. The Germans are almost top-notch in the subsystem accessories of the tank industry, but there are some problems in the final positioning and selection, which are brain problems rather than basic skills. So, the crown prince is not very serious about this. Just leave it to his subordinates.

Just as the French automobile industry was about to enter the German and Austrian market, the French aviation industry was also very interested in the aviation bidding that will be held in Munich. Although some of the projects in aviation bidding are civil aircraft projects, such as postal aircraft, transport aircraft, seaplanes, etc., for those who really understand aviation, some of the detailed requirements are obviously military aircraft, such as speed and cargo warehouse size requirements. According to some people, this cargo hold does not seem to be prepared for mail, but is specially prepared for bombs...

But this is not surprising. After all, the historical BF109 can be used as a racing machine brand, and the He111 bomber was started in the name of postal aircraft. Whether it is the French private Farman Air, Brege Airlines or the state-run Southwest Airlines are full of hope for this bid. Although it may be because France and Germany fought to death a year ago in the war. In terms of relationships, both Germans and French were a little awkward.
