Restart Spain and the Sun Never Sets

We should work with Portugal in the form of an EU, unify the railway specifications and currencies of the two countries, and boost the economy first. Form an economic alliance with foreign countries and then go to the former Spanish colonial countries to persuade them to join this alliance, develop resources and energy, and control the country economically. If Africa can colonize (Africa has not yet carved up the Congo Basin and Morocco has not been occupied by anyone, try your best to occupy it. It would be great if you can get Gibraltar back). Go to the Pacific and occupy Hawaii. Win over Italy, Türkiye, Greece and France in the Mediterranean to form the Mediterranean Sea Alliance.

I wrote it in a few minutes. There must be something wrong. Please don't criticize me and write down your thoughts. ๑•́₃•̀๑

Just read a novel and have fun. There is no need to get into an argument over some opinions. When encountering unpleasant things, just smile and let it go. Novels are meant for entertainment and entertainment, so making yourself unhappy is not worth the gain. Moreover, my level is indeed not good enough, and it is difficult for everyone to agree. It is impossible to take into account every reader. I hope everyone can understand.

After reading the first few chapters, it can be said that there are many questions. First, in terms of language expression, many diplomatic words are inaccurate. The second is the complete disregard for the situation in Spain. The first is to cooperate with Germany in military training diplomatically. At this time, Germany's level is no better than France. Germany is stronger in general mobilization rather than standing army. It is obvious that Spain cannot use general mobilization. Domestic national issues, class conflicts and regional divisions alone can make the German system unable to provide anything except rebels and massive expenditures. The second is the huge damage to diplomatic relations. At this time, the focus of German diplomacy was on the Alliance of Three Emperors. Spain was a beggar. Germany could not control Spain, but France could beat Spain anytime and anywhere. After the Spanish-American War, it would be great fun for France to support the United States. Even directly give you Barcelona independence. The diplomacy at this stage should be to make friends with France and Germany, and to balance between the two. In addition, in terms of industry, Spain does not have the manpower, resources and financial resources to carry out industrialization. Social conditions and natural conditions do not allow it. The direction of development should be less but more refined, so as to ensure self-production of light weapons and be able to produce light artillery. When building ships, cruisers are also on the line. Don't pursue battleships. You have no money and no ability. As for the bullet caliber, you can completely use 7mm Mauser bullets. There is no need to use 7.62 And 8mm. It is also possible to be more radical and use 6.5 To imitate Italy. Spain and Italy are both mountainous countries, so the equipment should be as light as possible.

I don't agree with the initial industrial investment. How can Spain compete with the technologically powerful countries if it is poor? It requires continuous large-scale investment and the results are very slow. In addition, the country is too poor to maintain such large-scale continuous investment for a long time. From the beginning, it must vigorously develop Spain's advantageous agriculture and animal husbandry to increase the total food production. The cotton textile industry has exploded, accounting for a major share of the world's exports. Even if you are poor, as long as the people can have enough food and clothing, the people will have great support for you. However, you must pay attention to system innovation and let the profits flow to the hands of the people. When the people have money, the domestic market has developed, and the finances are rich, it is time for you to pursue technology.

I just looked at it and found that the steps have been a bit big. The rebellion that just took over the throne was resolved in less than a month, and then there was the development of the army (the navy and the army were developed at the same time) and then the development of compulsory education. I would like to ask if the protagonist is so rich? Is Spain so rich? And how many resources, how much money, and how many people are needed for compulsory education?

Let me complain, does the author have any misunderstanding about shipbuilding? Can warships be built with design drawings? Let's not talk about firearms. It's not impossible to make them even if we ignore some material issues. The tonnage of warships is limited by steam engines. Suddenly they have the largest tonnage in the world. I am speechless.

There are relatively few endings when writing Western novels, and a little bit of a bad ending is acceptable. I will catch up on more as long as I persevere.

I promised to restore it, but now it has not been updated for 3 days. . . The post that the author himself said he would restore and update before was deleted.

You are a bit late now. Spain is short of people, money, food, everything. In Spain, religious fanaticism first drove away the Moors who were farming. A large number of grain-producing areas were destroyed by neglect, and grain production dropped. Again, the import of large amounts of gold and silver led to inflation, which led to the bankruptcy of the handicraft industry (raw materials and manpower increased), and large quantities of foreign goods were purchased (Netherlands, France, and England). The outflow of gold and silver helped the Netherlands and England develop industry and commerce. A large amount of money was spent fighting religious wars, and the finances went bankrupt. In order to get rid of bankruptcy, they bought and sold noble titles. The nobility was tax-free in Spain, which led to the birth of a large number of tax-free nobles. The finances were further reduced, and the reduction in finances further expanded the fiscal deficit. In the 17th and 18th centuries, Spain's native population had almost zero growth. The population was seriously underpopulated, the native people's livelihood was in decline, and the increase in overseas immigration further led to a decrease in the native population. Spain is basically hopeless at this stage, unless there is a revolution to rebuild it from the bottom up, and there is no way it can be saved from the top down.

What's going on? Why don't you write it again?

Spain's decline is not entirely a problem with the gold route. The primary problem is that precious metals have not been converted into productivity. Therefore, the primary task should be to liberate and develop productive forces.

Habsburg is Spanish orthodoxy! 😡

Population Issues Spain had a population of more than 16 million in 1870. Without internal war, it should be possible to vigorously develop the population and reach more than 25 million by 1900 (the original population was 1860,000 in war). In addition, Cuba's population in 1873 was more than 1.5 Million, and most of them were Spanish and Spanish descendants. Mexico had more than 9 million people in 1873 and nearly 13 million people in 1895. This was because the war had reduced the population growth rate. They were basically pure Spanish descendants and Indo-European mixed descendants. Colombia was around 2.5 Million in 1870, and more than 80% were of pure Spanish and Indo-European descent. Venezuela had a population of nearly 2 million in 1870, 95% of which were of pure Spanish and Indo-European descent. Not to mention other things, if we can just absorb these people, we will have a population of about 30 million around 1870. Coupled with internal social stability, industrial development, vast territory, and good policies, the population will naturally grow wildly. The focus is Mexico Population of European countries in 1870 1900

Even if a great power is rejuvenated, the time span will be longer. At most, it will reach the strength of France in history in the first war. It would be bad if it is too cheating.

You don't need the Philippine colony. You can discuss with the British about exchanging African land when dividing Africa. Spain and Africa are too close. As long as the African land comes to Spain, it will become the native land. Kill all the Arabs and black Africans without leaving any one behind. Introduce Chinese workers, give some preferential treatment and take care of them. Just look at it. The Chinese are the best workers in the world, bar none.
