Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Chapter 249 Capital Economy or Colonial Economy

If this continues, then soon, when Russia surrenders, Spain's prestige in the world will definitely be close to that of Britain and Germany, and compared to them, Spain has an even more obvious advantage, that is, Spain is more A harmonious diplomatic and economic relationship with a comprehensive global nature. It's not like they have powerful enemies who deliberately make things difficult for themselves.

In fact, the purpose of turning against Russia this time is to carry out global demonstrations, which means: you'd better not mess with Spain, otherwise, you will be in trouble. This is used to build a basic sample of protecting Spain's interests.

There are only a few countries in the world that can be talked about now, and they are all powerful countries defined by military. According to the ranking, they are the United Kingdom, the German Empire, Spain, France, Russia, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Italy , Ottoman Empire, Japan. As for the tenth, it is relatively certain.

Some people say it is the United States, because the United States has advanced technology and military facilities that can even rank among the top five in the world.

However, the military strength of the United States is notoriously derelict. Not even those big countries, even the armies of countries such as Belgium, the Netherlands, and Denmark may not be able to compare. There is deterrence, but it is economic. The U.S. Army has no experience in war. This is known to the whole world. Since the Duli War many years ago, the United States has always been on one side. Except for the occasional demonstration actions to bully small countries in the Americas, What they can do is occasionally send a small number of people to hunt down criminals. Although the collapse of the Hawaiian Kingdom ten years ago led to the dispatch of the US Army. But the opponent that collapsed before even exerting force did not let people see the performance of the United States' capabilities. But, can this be compared with ""large-scale military operations?

However, Belgium, the Netherlands and Portugal in Europe are different. Let's talk about Belgium. Belgium participated in the war during the period of Napoleon I in France, and it was also a forward position. It is said that at that time it was a war of resistance involving the participation of all the people. It can be said that the practices advocated by their country's military strength were tempered. And because of the suppression of military operations in the Congo, one of the largest colonies in Europe, for many years, the Belgian army was definitely the most powerful in Europe. One of the most effective teams.

However, just because of Belgium's small military strength and the country's population restrictions, this hinders their ability to become a great power. Otherwise, the current situation in Europe may not be what it is now. But nevertheless. Belgium is still a very important country. This is why in many major world events. Belgium still attracts the attention of various countries.

For example, the Eight-Power Allied Forces' invasion of Beijing was influenced by Belgium. In many cases, when Belgium invaded the Far East in Europe, it also became the middleman between the two established powers, France and France. sometimes. It also plays the role of spokesperson. But more often than not. It serves as a satellite city of Britain in Europe.

The Netherlands is such a country, they also participated in the Eight-Nation Alliance, and Dutch Indonesia is a giant colonial existence like the Belgian Congo. Plus Denmark, Greenland and Iceland.

This is why the three countries have such great ability to retain such a large share of their colonies. And think about it, the colonies of the second most powerful country in the world, such as the German Empire, only add up to this. Although they are a legacy because they are an established power, but..." "If there is no strong strength, So how can it be possible to protect it from invasion and occupation by other countries?

Just think about the fact that for the Netherlands, Indonesia, Spain, the German Empire, and Japan had to coordinate for a long time before obtaining less than one-third of the land. From this, it can be seen that the three countries are also afraid of the Dutch reaction. and allergic reactions in the UK.

Compared with theirs, the U.S. military has experience that pales in comparison. Therefore, although the United States has naval vessels that are not inferior to those of Spain and France, let alone facing Spain and France, it is the third and fourth largest naval power in the world. Even if it is facing the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark, if it really wants to fight , it is still unknown whether the United States can win the battle. After all, in the Pacific, the United States did not fight Spain when it surrounded Hawaii, but the United States lost to Japan in the battle for Nantori Island. But he is the best representative.

Therefore, many people are not very optimistic about the actual combat capabilities of the U.S. Navy. Coupled with the aggrieved Army, it is quite doubtful and controversial whether the U.S. military capabilities can enter the top ten in the world. matter.

The economy is a manifestation of whether a country is prosperous and strong after it has developed to a certain level. Therefore, the economy is often one of the best windows to indicate whether a country is strong or not. Those are the military rankings, but from an economic perspective.

Undoubtedly, the United States, which was worried about even the tenth place before, has undisputedly achieved the top spot this time.

Then came the German Empire, the United Kingdom, then Spain, followed closely by France. The Chinese population could be ranked at the forefront if counted. But personal strength is the last word. Most of the world economy is still in its infancy, so the economies of all countries in the world are at a low level. The income in Europe is ten to a hundred times that of China per capita.

Therefore, the total economic GDP is actually nothing. After all, almost all of the country is poor. If it is still an economically powerful country, it would be a little unreasonable, so it can be ignored.

After France are Russia, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Italy, the Ottoman Empire, and Japan.

Of course, what Alfonso is actually discussing is not a problem, but a problem of laws.

It means there are some rules here.

The first, second and fourth ranked countries are the new world powers, while the third and fifth ranked countries are the established powers.

These five countries can actually be divided into two factions. The United States, the German Empire, and Spain were all emerging economic powers, while France and the United Kingdom were established powers.

The German Empire, the United States, and Spain all relied on new technological industries to develop.

of. They are developing rapidly in their respective fields. For example, the U.S. oil industry dominates the world oil market, and the U.S. banking industry also began to force the British Rothschild family to rise due to the financial development of the Morgan consortium.

Coupled with Edison's various inventions, the U.S. economy is almost at the forefront of the world.

The German Empire was similar to the "Rebirth of the Spanish Empire", but the difference was that the German Empire relied on the development of military facilities to drive the development of the country's economy.

That is to say, the German Empire transformed the national economy and developed military construction into an economy in which all the people of the country participated. Even so, it is a real fact that the updated militarized facilities drove the development of Germany's national economy.

Spain is even more hands-off. It has a militarized economy. The development of Spain's militarized economy has also created hundreds of thousands of jobs.

The pharmaceutical industry has also brought many economic benefits to Spain. Coupled with the development of vehicles such as Audi Automobile AG. Spain is definitely one of the most comprehensively developed economies.

What is different from the previous three countries is that although the United Kingdom and France are also developing emerging technologies, in many aspects, the two countries are still far from being able to compare with the previous three countries. But in this case, how can the two countries continue to play a leading role in the world economy? Why is the middle row in such an important position? There is of course a reason for this.

Colonial economy! This is an important economic source for the two countries. As France and the United Kingdom are the countries with the largest population in the world (the only two countries with more than 10 million square kilometers), their plundering of local economic interests in the colonies allowed the two countries to develop rapidly. . This is what sustains their economy. In the beginning, the development of this economy was based on the interests of robbing local minerals. It was fine at the beginning, but after a long time, the minerals were plundered. After that, their dilemma emerged, because this required plundering new targets, but the world is only so big, how could it possibly be able to satisfy them, so their economy would slowly decline after the initial period." Once the "entertainment show" stabilizes, its development will slow down.

However, the three countries of Germany, Germany, and Spain are different. The three countries are developing commercial industries. Although they also gain profits from mining and other things, that is not all. They are not mainly based on exploiting other countries as their economic source. Instead, they make profits from marketing by developing their own technology and other products, which has greater economic vitality, and therefore develops faster.

This is why the rankings are the way they are now. This proves one thing, that is, the capital economy has more potential for development than the colonial economy and it is easier for countries to achieve successful economic development.

If proof is needed, then the current German Empire, the United States and Spain can prove that the militarization of the German Empire does not count, but it is distorted economic development. When it develops to a certain level, disadvantages will appear. After all, The result of the development of bacterial military and economic development is that we must also prevent the military and economic development from becoming a bubble. If a lot of hardware is not used, it is not a waste. The surplus will have a consequence. By then, the military equipment of the German Empire When selling to others, the price may need to be reduced because of this. The consequence of the price reduction is that domestic profits are not enough. If the profits are not enough, there will be a wave of bankruptcy.
