Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Chapter 121: Cities should be divided into centers and sizes

Seeing His Majesty's expression, and then looking at Horsman and Bain, everyone became thoughtful. It was obvious that His Majesty had something in mind for the positions of these two people, but among them, Eugene knew best. Even he was worried about this at first, but until now he still doesn't know how to arrange the positions of the two of them. However, Alfonso was not one to hesitate.

"I decided to establish a Minister of Food Safety. The area that this Minister is responsible for is the supply of all food in the country, as well as food safety. Of course, medicines are also included. This is an issue related to the country's most basic safety conditions. It is also related to the strategic reserve of the national army, so this position is also very important," Alfonso said here, looking up at Horsman and Bain, looking at the two of them,

Although the two people below have gone through great storms, they still feel nervous when it comes to their immediate future. Although the others know that the matter does not affect them, they are also worried about this relationship. , after all, the people you need to deal with are different depending on the department you are in, especially the two people like Creston and Jack Sean in the military.

It was in this atmosphere that after about half a minute, Alfonso said: "Horsman, are you qualified? Please answer me seriously."

When Horsman heard his name being called, his heart suddenly suddenly skipped a beat. His heart was not filled with joy, but with emotion. As a Jew who came from the German Empire, he knew that whether it was a Jew or a member of the German Empire, His identity made him seem a little out of place. Of course, Horch in front of him was also a Jew, and even came from the German Empire like him. However, Horch had been in Spain much longer than him.

And at that time, he was one of the founders of Audi, a symbol of Spain's rise, and his status in Spain had already been recognized by everyone. However, although I have received praise from many people for Felik Life Company over the years, there is still a big gap between me and Horch in terms of national identity. Secretary of State for Food Safety, what an important position this is, now, just now. What did His Majesty actually say? He actually asked himself whether he was competent. This was definitely a very exciting question, and it was probably the most unforgettable question in his life.

As soon as I said these eight words, "I will devote my whole life to death," I felt an extremely heavy burden on my body. But at the same time, he felt extremely honored and owed him a lot of money. Yes, as the president and second largest shareholder of Felic Life Company, the money he had earned over the years definitely made him one of the top richest people in Europe. He also has a reputation, especially the recently announced Nobel Prize, Chemistry Prize and Medicine Prize, but he has a double yolk egg. Under this gunman who has neither reputation nor money. The expansion of power made him feel that he had great power, and at the same time he knew deeply that he would bear huge responsibilities. However, just like back then, since His Majesty still believes that he can succeed and is qualified for this job, then, as a person who is favored and believed in his ability. If a scholar dies for his confidant, it doesn't matter if he has to risk his life.

Others saw Horsman attaining what they viewed as a position of immense power. While I was envious, I was also a little curious. What position will Bain give him? In other words, it was originally announced only for this matter and should have been announced by the Prime Minister. However, this position is a new position after all. More importantly, although the composition of Spain's power structure is also called a constitutional monarchy Yes, but there is no article in the constitution that prevents the king from appointing officials. On the contrary, the prime minister requires the king's consent to appoint any cabinet minister.

Of course, compared to the German Empire, the Prime Minister of Spain has great power, because in many cases, Alfonso XIII seldom intervened in domestic affairs, except for general policies, but Now everyone has discovered that from beginning to end, Prime Minister Eugene did not have any opinions or surprises about this, and even took the initiative to applaud and congratulate the other party. This has shown that the other party has already known the result, and it also means that in this matter In itself, this matter is the result of the Prime Minister's negotiation.

"Bain, are you a little surprised?" Alfonso did not directly talk about the position this time, but asked Bain about his thoughts and feelings.

"There are some surprises, but also a bit disappointing?"

"Disappointed? Why disappointed?" Alfonso asked the question that everyone else wanted to ask.

"I think I can still increase my responsibilities. Of course, I didn't mean to steal Horsman's position. I meant that I can contribute more to the country." Bain said hurriedly.

"In this case, I have decided that the position of the newly created Minister of Energy will be handed over to you. I only hope that you can really do what you said and do more to maintain stable and sufficient energy for the Spanish people. ." Alfonso made the final decision and decided on the candidate for this position.

"Minister of Energy?" Bain was a little confused about what this position was. Not only Bain, but others also looked at Ah Chongfan. Although from the name, they guessed that this position meant protecting energy, but energy specifically refers to It is indeed unclear what it is, and the same is true for Bain.

Alfonso couldn't help but care, but he had forgotten that the position of Minister of Energy or Minister of Energy has not yet appeared at this time. The reason why it has not appeared is mainly because energy at this time is still relatively monotonous, such as in the United Kingdom. The country's largest energy consumption is coal. Such a direct arrangement for a coal minister shows that, perhaps in the eyes of the British, the coal minister has summarized all other energy sources.

"The main responsibility of the Minister of Energy is to collect all the energy sources needed by the country, such as coal mines, oil, and electricity, especially oil and electricity now. I hope that Spain can develop in the direction I want in the future, of course. Now, the coal mine cannot be alone. As for the issue of funds, I think that the two presidents of the Imperial Bank and the International Development Bank will not be stingy. The same goes for other departments. I hope that all departments can cooperate effectively. Now this time, zheng fu Although the department has expanded, I still hope that it can operate as efficiently as before. Prime Minister, you will decide what happens next."

Eugene nodded in agreement and looked around, looking at the number of people who had grown in number. While sighing in his heart that the team was getting bigger and bigger, he also felt his blood boiling. Although he was the Prime Minister, for many people, it might be... As a one-term prime minister, he is already old and frail, but this is not the case. He is only 51 years old now, which is one year older than Theodore Roosevelt, the youngest president of the United States in more than two hundred years. That's all. For politicians, this age is exactly the state of adulthood.

Spain is the reason why the Conservative Party and the Ziyou Party take turns in power every four years. After next year, he will become the opposition party again. However, because of his current age, many people estimate that in 1914, he was very It is possible that he will once again lead the Ziyou Party to govern and form a cabinet. After all, even four years later, he will only be 55 years old. He is one year younger than the current British Prime Minister Asquith, who took office this year at 56 years old. As for policy He has nothing to fear about the continuation issue, because even after he steps down, if it is a good idea, don't forget that Alfonso XIII is still there, he will ask to continue, but if it is not a good idea, then it will be gone It is also a meritorious deed. Therefore, what he needs to do most now is to expand the level of governance during his term and develop the Spanish economy so that the National King can have a good life. The most important thing is.

"After these years, under the leadership of His Majesty, Spain has made great progress. This is something that is obvious to all. From being nearly ten in the world economy for more than ten years, it has risen to the fourth place after the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Russia, which was in front of us last year, was ruthlessly left behind by us, and France, which is the same as us, was also distanced by us. If according to the predictions of the Pan-European Rating Company and Atlantic Rating Company data, perhaps in five years, we will It may surpass the UK and take the third position. After all, the UK’s GDP last year was only 8.4 billion pesetas, a year-on-year increase of 5%. Although our GDP this year is 5.65 billion pesetas, which is almost only 5.65 billion pesetas compared with the UK. About two-thirds of theirs, but last year we only had 5 billion pesetas, and the growth rate reached 13%, which was nearly three times the growth rate of the other side.

Based on this calculation, we will catch up with each other in at most four or five years. However, our urbanization process in Spain is much worse than that of the UK.

The result of our discussions with His Majesty is that we have decided to build Spain into an economic circle that drives the region like the British and German Empire, and we will launch a regional center policy to Cities with a population of more than 1 million, such as Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Seville, and Valencia, are classified as megacities and have become regional central cities, while Zaragoza, Valladovilla, etc. are assisting centers. se, also became a secondary city.

In Australia, Perth is a well-deserved first-class city and a central city. Although Wellington and Auckland have less than 1 million, or even less than 800,000, as regional roles there, they have automatically formed a The central city where this place is located, and in Africa, due to the development over the years, we have opened up the situation in several places, but even so, it is still similar to those third-tier cities in our country. Therefore, carefully divided, the big cities are mainly divided into Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Valencia, Seville, Pas, Wellington, and Auckland. Among them, the central cities in the country are Madrid, Barcelona and Pas... "

Looking at Eugene's planning for Spanish urbanization, especially since these were the results of his own planning, he truly felt the taste of an expander and reformer. He even thought that he could become Spain's urbanization plan. The greatest reformer of the millennium?
