Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Chapter 168 Cutting the Cake

"Spain's advantage? Hey, Spain's advantage is that it has a bunch of reliable allies, unlike other countries such as Britain, which are colonial powers. Colonization is used to exploit, and allies are used to safeguard their own interests. Reliable partner, at this point, Spain is definitely the only country among the big countries in the world that can bring together so many countries. Oh, I almost forgot that many of the weapons of Italy and Ottoman Turkey are also made by Spain. Especially for Ottoman Turkey, the ratio even exceeds 60%. More than 60% are Spanish weapons, and the remaining 40% is for the German Empire and Italy and other countries to divide this huge market of tens of millions and hundreds of thousands of troops. .

Rafi: "Nothing can be as important as the people living a more prosperous and happy life. People's employment is very important. At this point, I think the Spanish government has achieved results that many countries cannot match, Bart said. Chief, in terms of arms supply and sales, in addition to economic interests, in your opinion, what role do political interests play, I mean, interests from Spain’s own perspective?”

"Of course, the benefit is that we can tie together the countries that buy our important weapons. Of course, this is the result that everyone knows. After all, after buying a weapon, you need to think about the weapon, maintenance, accessories purchase, etc. The country of origin applies for purchase and repair requirements, which requires dealing with. Repair and maintenance issues are very important. Weapons worth millions or even tens of millions of pesetas are not something that everyone is willing to throw away if they want to. , Therefore, in fact, the arms contract itself is a kind of political shackles with huge shackles. With them, no country is willing to go to war with the check casher in its hands and want to kill the other party. After all, once the other party dies, it will The check in hand bleached away and turned into ashes. The summary is that Spain can more stably guarantee itself a more important influence in these countries..."

Paris, Elysee Palace where the President is seated

"Listen, now Spain has opened up a huge cyber weapons market, and we, look at that, are still stubbornly complacent about the Austro-Hungarian Empire's weapons market. Now Spain has surpassed us by multiples or even several times. market weight. Let’s just say what everyone has to say and put forward their opinions. There is no need to hide it and keep it to yourself.”

Pica glanced at the others and saw that they were all standing there tightly. Pica raised the left side of his mouth and stood up and said: "President, I think what we need most now is not to open the arms market. Second, It is to expand the research and development and purchase of weapons. In this way, we can have the opportunity to expand outward while keeping our own lives and property safe. After all, as they said, we have the same rights as the British. A large number of overseas colonies, rather than overseas territories like Spain, and markets for allies."

"Lesson, what do you think we should do?" Armand Farier turned to face Leeson, one of the three great think tanks, who had a different cheerful personality from Pica.

Pika saw this flash of light, but he still had a smile on his face. At the same time, I also wanted to see what Lison was thinking.

Leeson did not refuse to be modest, but said directly: "I think there are several reasons why Spain is able to make other countries choose to believe them without reservation, as what was said on the radio just now. One is that the quality of Spanish weapons is very good, which is obvious to everyone. Especially now, it is said that many countries are eyeing the appearance of Spanish armored transport vehicles on the Arabian Peninsula that are different from the British. Even the UK is looking for ways to purchase transport belt technology to increase their army."

Seeing that Farier was still listening, Leeson had to admit that, aside from other things, his attitude could make many of his subordinates willingly obey his orders. He continued:

"Second, and most importantly, everyone can see that Spain has improved their image in various parts of the world over the years. The most typical example is South America, where Spain used to practice violence. The colonial rule of the country was later overthrown. It can be said that the people there are very sensitive to Spain. However, look at it now. Whenever the people there mention Spain, their faces will be full of joy and they will praise the other party. Wherever there are advantages, the public can only see this, not to mention that except for Brazil and Argentina, all the countries in South America in the east are pro-Spanish. In this context, "Under the circumstances, Spain's weapons are of course the most trusted and affirmed. And we in France," Leeson said with a wry smile, "Like the UK, we all pursue superficial interests, and because we occupy certain Due to a large number of colonial reasons, I think not many countries are willing to let us control their destiny, especially weapons such as weapons."

Leeson finally said: "Therefore, in this case, it is absolutely impossible for us to obtain a larger share in those existing markets. In this case, we can carve out our unique share."

"But where does this share come from? Don't forget that Europe is now full of interlocking forces. In Northern Europe, there are already Spain and the United Kingdom, where the two tigers are fighting. In Italy, I think even if we are willing, the people will They are booing us. After all, Italy itself will threaten us in the Mediterranean, not to mention Ottoman Turkey. The conflict between nationalities has already caused great trouble, and our position with Britain has changed from the beginning to the end. Now they are all unanimous. Now if we sell weapons to the Ottoman Turkey, not to mention the British will have objections, our most loyal ally Russia will definitely be alienated from us because of this. For us, it is better to be silent than to move. Even better. As for the remaining colonies, not to mention, giving them weapons will definitely be our own suicide. Not only should we not grant them powerful weapons. We should also prevent other countries from giving them weapons. That's right, after all the calculations, there really is nothing to choose from except the Far East. However, the market there is already full. There are Britain, us, the German Empire and even the United States and the United States." Pika asked, his eyes suddenly lit up. , "could it be"

Leeson nodded, and then said: "That's Russia. I think Russia's current arsenal will definitely lack guns and ammunition. After all, the last battle with Japan and the brief conflict with the Ottomans, they definitely need excellent weapons now. That's right, Germany, needless to say, has already turned against itself, Spain has already turned against itself, Britain is at odds with each other, and as for the newly established United States, everyone has their own needs. I think, after all calculations, we are the only ones left in the end. I think this market is worth at least half of Spain’s alliance network, or even more.”

Farier finally showed a smile. This was what Pika saw. He thought about it, then he raised his head and looked at Farier, and said seriously: "Your Excellency, I think what Leeson said is very problematic. I think it’s very possible that he…”
