Thanks to Juventus for the reward and support. Nono would like to ask, if you have votes, can you support it?

"March 27, 1909, is a very memorable day, because on this day, Spain and seven Latin American countries formed a military exercise alliance. As long as you open the map and look at it, everyone will be shocked to find that, except Outside the North Pacific, the entire Central, Eastern, Western and South Pacific are already full of Spanish footprints. The addition of Venezuela, Colombia, and Mexico has allowed Spain to deeply participate in the game of the Caribbean. Such a result is definitely that of the United States. What people don’t want to see, just look at the critical voices that are filling American newspapers now, but who cares, as a powerful country, is it still afraid of expanding its own interests?”

"Yes, that's right. As a Spaniard, we feel very honored. Under the leadership of His Majesty, there is nothing else that can stop Spain's progress. No, not even the United Kingdom can do it. Just like back then, The alliance between Portugal and Spain is the same. Now Spain needs to vigorously expand its own interest groups instead of pursuing policies such as shrinking back on problems. This is not in line with Spain's current situation. We need to continue to move forward and overcome the difficulties we encounter again and again. difficulty.

In addition to the military aspect, Spain is now also negotiating a free trade agreement with Mexico, Venezuela and Colombia. If the four countries finally negotiate successfully and implement it, then what will be shown to the world will be a huge zero import tax The economy has a population of nearly 100 million. By then, in terms of population, it will only be ranked fifth after Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States, France, etc. Therefore, now everyone is looking forward to the emergence of such an agreement.”

"The views of both deans are good. Many people may not know who the people who just spoke are. Let me introduce them now. The first person to express opinions is Bart, the president of the Complutense University of Madrid. He is also the Dean of the School of Political Science at the University of Madrid. The second one is Dean of the School of Economics at the University of Barcelona, ​​who is also the president of this university. Thanks to them for being here today, and I, Rather, the oldest broadcaster in the world program, the host of Spanish Broadcasting’s noon political and economic program "Laser Sees the World". Today, I will discuss in depth the challenges and opportunities of Spain's expansion in South America with Principal Bart and Principal Siti. First of all, , I would like to ask President Bart, as the dean of the most famous political school in Europe, what do you think of the current situation of Spain in Latin America?"

Barty: "As Russell just said, opportunities and challenges coexist!"

Russell: "How do you say that?"

Bart: "The opportunity is that after these years of Spanish expansion of aid and the introduction of Spanish governance concepts, Spanish governance methods, needless to say, are top-notch, most effective and advanced in Europe and the world. , with the help of such advanced internal governance concepts, external aid and huge investments, you can see that the development of these countries in Latin America has greatly exceeded people's predictions. It has even reached the highest level of developing countries in the world. The income is not too low even compared with countries such as Selivia in the Balkan Peninsula. Of course, this is mainly concentrated in Spain’s allies Ecuador, Chile, Bolivia and Peru, and the other three countries such as Venezuela Until now, it is still in the initial stage of development like Brazil, but even so, as long as these countries join the economic circle led by Spain, Spain's economy will definitely take off again."

Rather: "Principal Nasti, as the dean of one of the most famous economic schools in Europe, what is your opinion? I believe that everyone still doesn't understand what this take-off mainly refers to. Can you point us to some examples? ?"

Steve: "This mainly refers to the consumer market problem of industrial products in Spain. This is the most urgent problem that Spain needs to solve at the moment. Regarding market issues, I have been paying attention to them for many years and have also studied market consumption issues for many years. Finally, I found that after these years of development, Spain has gradually reached a state of saturation in terms of industrial products. Unless something new suddenly appears, otherwise, it will be difficult to grab it. With the emergence of goods, industrial products are generally relatively durable things, such as cars. Of course, defective cars can break down once a day. Haha, just kidding, just like an Audi car, its minimum service life is 5 years or more. For a long time, this has been what ordinary people have done. And ordinary people occupy the largest market share in Spain.”

Rather: "So, we can't say that other special people change cars for their hobbies. That doesn't count, right?"

Steve: "Yes, the general public is the guiding indicator of the market. An Audi car that can be used for more than 5 years (the metal in that era was not as good as modern ones, so the number was reduced a lot, and later generations generally lasted more than ten years), this is very important to Audi. The car poses a challenge, that is, within 5 years, those who bought the first Audi car will not buy the second one within 5 years. Therefore, Audi cars are booming in order to maintain its productivity and To increase sales, it must expand its market. The Spanish market makes it clear that with less than 40 million locals, it can only be sold to a population ratio of about 20 to 25 people. If the current annual sales volume of Audi cars in Spain is around 700,000, then Spain can sell around 15 million vehicles in 20 years.

Now that Spain is on the verge of peace, it needs to expand its overseas markets, including Northern Europe, Western Europe, Central Europe, Southern Europe, Oceania, Africa, South America, etc. It needs to expand. Western Australia, New Zealand and other places that belong to its own territory have already allowed the local market to expand. Businesses dominate the world. But other countries are not so easy to expand. Therefore, the emergence of Spain's free trade agreement is based on this. This is a major government support opportunity for our company."

Rather: “What about the challenge?”

Steve: "The challenge is that the country's primary products such as agriculture will suffer a major blow. After all, look at those countries. These countries are major food growing areas, especially Chile and Peru. Their combined food production Now it has supplied one-third of Spain's imported grain, reaching the same share as Western Australia. This may have caused social conflicts, but the government has introduced policies that benefit farmers and other policies that are beneficial to the local area. The policies of grain producers have very well curbed the development of this contradiction, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as strangulating."

"This is economic, but what about political aspects? Now the military exercise has expanded to eight countries and has also advanced from the Pacific to the Caribbean. I want to say here that Spain now also has its own territory in the Caribbean. Of course, it is not the same as before. Cuba and Puerto Rico, but when His Majesty visited Denmark, Denmark signed a sales agreement with us and sold us the Virgin Islands near Puerto Rico. Well, I would like to ask Principal Bart, what is your opinion, Spain now plays a role in these exercises What is his identity, and why did His Majesty choose to purchase this archipelago in the first place, and what is the significance of it?" Rather asked.

Bart: "It is of great significance. In today's world, every independent country has a strong national consciousness. The reason why Spain retreated from South America was actually because the government at the time did not realize it. The world has begun to have a sense of duplicity, and it was only after Britain suffered a defeat in North America that duplicity began to ignite in the United States. It spread to Mexico next to it and then spread to the entire Latin America. It is precisely because of this that, The reason why Cuba and Puerto Rico are so violent. Now that Spain has appeared as a peacemaker, although it cannot be said to be reciprocal, at least it is a face-to-face conversation, not a communication between high and low levels. This has made Spain's behavior made other collaborators recognize Spain's cooperation intention and goodwill.

Therefore, the appearance of Prime Minister Eugene, even if nothing is said, the record that no Spanish Prime Minister has reached the Americas in more than ten years has been broken by the Americans. Their success has been celebrated by the Americans. They have succeeded in defeating their invaders in the past. Now he treats them as equals. While he is proud in his heart, he also feels that Spain is no longer arrogant and pretentious when treating them. It is in such a narrow and broad mentality that there has been a change. Spain and other countries in South America have begun to feel like blood. The cultures and languages ​​began to merge. This is also difficult for other countries to do, and the joint military exercises announced by the two countries this time were formed under such factors. There is no doubt that this is actually another interpretation of the military alliance, and the ideas and strategies of each country are different. , in general, it is a strategy of balancing and taking advantage of the situation to develop one's own. "

Russell: "What do you mean?"

"They used the help of the United States to drive Spain away, but just when they thought the United States was their savior, they discovered that they were just worried colonists. The Americans did not want their land. , but they do need the minerals under their land, the food grown on their land, and their labor force. The consequences of this will naturally make them miserable, because at this time, the United States is already the largest country in America besides the United Kingdom. , after decades of oppression by the United States and Britain, they have understood what their status is and what they need more, so the emergence of Spain is what they need."

Rather: "So Spain is the country for their explanation and the rapidly developing Spanish economy is also the country where they can sell products without being blackmailed by the United States." (To be continued.
