Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Chapter 408 Demonstration in front of No. 10 Downing Street

"The latest news from Spain, according to Rafi, the host of Spain's most influential radio program "Rafi Sees the World", after detailed analysis, Spain's GDP in June this year was the same as that of the German Empire. In other words, Spain has tied with the German Empire as the world's second largest economy, second only to the United States, with 61.5 billion pesetas in the first half of the year. The United States, the largest economy, has 10.8 billion pesetas. Seta, ranked fourth is the United Kingdom, the UK's GDP is 5.5 billion pesetas. France, ranked fifth, France is 3.3 billion pesetas, followed by Russia and Austria-Hungary, both are 2.8 billion pesetas Setas, Italy 1.8 billion pesetas, Japan and the Ottoman Empire 1.5 billion pesetas.

These countries account for 90% of the world's GDP. According to Spain, the United States now accounts for 23% of the world, Spain and Germany also account for 13%, the United Kingdom 117%, and France The world's fifth largest economy accounts for about 7%, Russia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire account for 6% of the world's GDP respectively, Italy 38%, Japan and the Ottoman Empire 32%

The most unexpected thing is that Spain's ally, Portugal, with a population of only 6 million, has reached almost half of Japan and the Ottoman Empire, reaching 16%, reaching 7.5 billion pesetas. You know, Japan now has a population of 60 million, and the Ottoman Empire also has a population of no less than 40 million. In other words, the average income of each person in Portugal is now. It has reached 5 times, while Spain is almost 59 times that of Japan, Germany is 48 times that of Japan, the United Kingdom is 48 times that of Japan, and the United States is 45 times that of Japan. France is 33 times that of Japan, Japan is half that of Italy, Russia is almost the same as Japan, Japan is 45% of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and 66% of the Ottoman Empire.

The above is the economic data released by Spain this time about major countries in the world, such detailed data. Philander. What do you think? "

Taft looked at his most valued political ally, and then asked deeply. To be honest, he felt very stressed, because if he said it before. He also because this information has not been released before. Like most Americans, he feels good about himself. So now, he feels a lot more pressure because this information has been made public. He knows that the United States and the world will definitely cause a sensation because of this. [

Of course Ferrander was feeling the pressure. As Secretary of State, the development of the country is of course one of his tasks. However, as Secretary of State, he specializes in managing the diplomacy of the United States. The strength of the United States is the strength of their diplomatic negotiations. In other words, everyone will be prosperous. Everyone knew in the past that the United States is the largest Everyone knows that in terms of economy, it is difficult for any country to compare with the United States. However, the emergence of this data now makes the United States feel the economic weakness.

"What is their reason for doing such a show?"

"It's good if I know." Taft smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Whatever the conspiracy, now we've all been compromised?"

Ferrander nodded in agreement and said: "Using Japan as a medium, in terms of per capita, Spain is almost 6 times that of Japan, Portugal is 5 times, the United Kingdom and Germany are both 48 times. We are 45 times, and France is 33 times. , Italy is twice as much, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is more than twice as much, and the Ottoman Empire is one-third more than Japan. The rankings of these big countries have clearly drawn a conclusion, that is, Spain’s per capita income is higher than ours One-fourth more, even we are only 90% of Portugal, and then we are 7 percentage points lower than the United Kingdom and the German Empire. In other words, although we are the largest economy in the world, we are only ranked second. It is only the fifth-largest country in terms of per capita income.”

This is such a fucking bastard. Who could come up with such data? It’s really killing me.”

Ferrand smiled bitterly for a while. This was not asking questions knowingly. "Who else can provide such a large-scale data except Spain? And it seems that no country can do this." Let’s talk about it, why don’t we get such a survey back for the sake of it?”

"Felander, you know, the weapons used here are real offensive weapons, but they are just sounds and fireworks."

"Of course I know, but Mr. President, it seems that now we can only work harder to increase the income of the people, and we can only look at the discussions of public dissatisfaction and the more stressful situations in other countries."

Taft didn't expect Ferland to say this, so he was stunned, but he quickly reacted, "Yes, Russia is a country that can only keep up with Japan. Think about it, Nicholas II is absolutely You will be blown away. Also, Italy is about the same. They claim to be a major European country, but now their fig leaf has been directly lifted by this report from Spain. Now, Vittorio Emanuele The third generation is now staring at his western neighbor with a livid face and uttering harsh words. The same is true for France. Although it has developed well in recent years and has entered the top five in the world, it has always billed itself as As a world power, the French, Paul Dume and others, and their citizens will definitely feel very unhappy about their status. Especially the economic indicators, as long as Spain continues to develop like this for two years, Spain will have the per capita income of France. Doubling it will definitely become a reality.”

"It's not just them?" Ferrand asked: "Germany thinks that it is the second largest country in the world, especially in terms of economy. But as Spain approaches step by step, will Germany not be nervous? This is absolutely impossible. Moreover, the per capita and total numbers have exceeded or are the same. In terms of military, although Germany continues to retain the number one position in the world's army, in terms of navy, Spain is not much different from the German Empire. Of course, according to In terms of the number of battleships, the same is true for us, but our soldiers are, well, not to mention this, the air force is even more needless to say. The Spanish air force is unique in the world, so now Spain can definitely look at it on an equal footing with Germany. nation.

George V of the United Kingdom must have encountered the same troubles as his cousin William II, or even more troubles. After all, the United Kingdom has been the world's largest country for more than a hundred years, and Germany had already It aroused the vigilance of the United Kingdom, and even caused the United Kingdom to join forces with France, Russia, etc. to suppress Germany. Now, Spain is also here, and it is not inferior to Germany at all. Now, the United Kingdom is really having a big explosion. "

Yes, just like Ferrand said, there is really a lot of discussion in Britain now about the information that Lafite brought out this time.

"Our British Empire has always been the greatest country. However, not long ago, the United States took away the position of the world's largest economy, and then Germany took away the position of the largest economy in Europe where the United Kingdom is located. This was already This makes the UK very unnatural, but now, not to mention its status as a world exporter of industrial products, which was taken away by Spain a few years ago, nor its GDP surpassing that of the UK, and now even its per capita income It is also far above the United Kingdom. The most unbearable thing is that even a small Portugal is actually above the great British people. To be honest, this is definitely difficult to convince most British people. things"

Edward George, Dean of the Institute of Political Science at Oxford University, expressed his views on the largest radio broadcast in the UK. In an interview on the radio, he expressed his views and said: "I will not doubt the authenticity of this Spanish report. After all, it is well known that , the Spanish Broadcasting Corporation is the largest broadcasting company in the world, and it has a government background, and Rafi is also a world-famous figure. His hosting career has been for many years, and his credibility needs to be protected, so we have no reason to doubt this Possibility of false reporting.

Since it is true, then we should know our current position in the world. Perhaps His Majesty George V will make up his mind to move Britain back to that golden age. After all, We have been in that position for decades or hundreds of years, so it is not impossible to reflect on it. "

However, not everyone will be as calm as Edward George. Outside No. 10 Downing Street, thousands of Londoners even protested, dissatisfied with the British government's poor economic management and development, especially Prime Minister Asquith. In 2000, they only focused on forming an alliance with France and Russia and forgot about economic development. They cut off many economic ties with Germany. They called on the British government to develop a friendly relationship with Germany like it had with Spain. They said that Germany is, after all, the most important country in the world. Britain is only Spain and France's third trading partner, and after having a bad relationship with Germany, they even speculate that if Germany develops friendly relations, Germany will surpass France within a year or two, which will greatly increase the national income. .

And not only the Prime Minister's Office at No. 10 Downing Street, but also Buckingham Palace, there are people holding demonstrations outside there from time to time.

In No. 10 Downing Street, Asquith looked at his protégé helplessly, and Churchill was stunned.
