The protagonist becomes the king of Spain, puts down the rebellion, and develops. I originally thought that he would increase his influence in South America and Mexico like the previous Spanish books, but I didn't expect that the protagonist wanted to give up and wanted to develop in Africa. I asked an African what territory could be exchanged for Cuba, South Africa, and Egypt. No need to think about it, the lifeblood of the United Kingdom.

There is no distinction between priorities and national hegemony is basically not written about. The protagonist has to ask and understand every small domestic matter. How does the protagonist look like a king? He is completely like a middle-level official. Spain is no longer weak after the protagonist discovers it, but it is still afraid of Britain and the United States. It will wither as soon as it encounters Britain and the United States. However, the United States has not yet developed. It has nothing but money. What is there to be afraid of? Britain can give it a try with its current strength. Don't be afraid. There are also colonies. The ones we won are not well developed. We have been focusing on Central Asia. It's not like there will be no oil except Central Asia. Africa has won a large number of colonies, but there is no oil at all? There is already a small colony there. Don't focus on that place anymore. It's just a desert now. No one is interested. Let's develop Africa first. Africa is Spain's basic base.

This book has been suppressing Spain's population, and the population effect of travelers is too small.

As shown in the figure, there will also be a situation map of the United States in subsequent chapters.

The writing of this novel is okay, but there are also many flaws. There is no inventory of weapons. The description of the army is just "muskets" and "artillery." "People's Land". In addition, you have a summary of how much territory Morocco occupies, how many people there are, what resources it has, the surrounding geographical environment, and whether it is possible to continue to develop south or in other directions. You have perfectly avoided these interesting points in hegemony novels.

To be honest, if a king does not regain centralized power, the time traveler will have no advantage. The entire country has no will, parties, and administrative efficiency. They are all rubbish. They are still engaged in power struggles in the country. If they did not develop well for decades before the First World War, you might as well be a rubber stamp mascot king.

The UK already has Jamaica and is not very interested in Cuba, and these two colonies are not of much use to the UK. It would be better to find France in exchange for Morocco and Madagascar.

Ps: The colonies of other countries except Spain have not been modified. Only the scope of Spanish colonies is referenced.
