The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 2420: Rule the country one



Not many people stayed in this house, that is, Crown Prince Ruprecht and one of his attendants also act as clerks. The Swedish side is Karl Yarma Branding and one of his entourages. After completing the necessary preparations, the rest of the staff exited the house and left the space to the owner.

"I can feel from your Excellency the prejudice that you and the government behind you have about the empire. You have concerns, fears, and an avoidance of the rise of the empire. Realizing it in reality means avoiding the empire. Close the doors and windows, and live your own life by yourself is the best choice. I also choose to ignore the olive branch we extend. It’s not good to do this.” Crown Prince Ruprecht said.

"The Kingdom of Sweden and the German Empire belong to two different countries. We have our own ways of survival. Without essential interests, I think the relationship between the two countries is very good. In fact, the Kingdom of Sweden has always Adhering to neutrality, whether it is to your country or to Britain and France." Branding thought for a while and said.

"The Kingdom of Sweden and the German Empire naturally belong to two different countries, but I think Sweden and Bavaria can be compared. After all, before 1890, Bavaria and Sweden were regarded as one-level countries in terms of economy and population. In terms of resource endowments, Sweden is much better than us. So now, can we discuss the similarities and differences between the development paths of the two countries on the basis of our respective kingdoms? Don’t forget, besides the identity of a soldier, I have another identity. Ruler of the kingdom!" Ruprecht said.

"This is very interesting." Branding suddenly became interested. After all, Branding has been the prime minister of Sweden for three terms. It is absolutely impossible to say that he has no talent or interest in governing the country. Relying solely on propaganda and claims for peace and justice can maintain the Swedish government for a long time. He has his own set of ideas for governing the country and is similar to the Crown Prince in some respects!

"Very good, then let's analyze the starting conditions of Bavaria and Sweden? We all use 1890 as the boundary?" Ruprecht said.

"Yes, as a Swedish, let me first analyze the national conditions of Sweden. Sweden's population in 1980 was slightly lower than that of Bavaria. Our economic development level is also better than that of your country. Before the rise of your country's Southern Industrial Group, The industrial level of Bavaria is lackluster. Our Nobel Industries Group and Bofors Group are also very competitive even in Europe. In terms of food production, Sweden has a huge advantage. The level of crop production in Bavaria is generally lower than that of Germany. Average level. And Germany is not self-sufficient in food, and Sweden’s food production is 165% of our demand. If we include grassland, lakes and forests, our advantage is even greater." Branding said.

"Your Excellency also forgot one thing, that is the heavy armament pressure that the Kingdom of Bavaria has to bear. We have maintained a standing armed force of 100,000 in peacetime, but in wartime, we need to expand it in a short time. To 250,000. And the Swedish government’s demand for military power is very low, and the Kingdom of Sweden has independent tariffs, as well as its own ports and merchant fleet, which gave the Kingdom of Sweden an advantage in 1890." Precht said.

"Yes, at that time, Bavaria was more of a geographical term in Europe, and its meaning is completely different from the current name." Branding said with some emotion.

"However, in less than 20 years later, Bavaria rose rapidly. We not only surpassed your country in terms of economic scale, per capita GDP, and per capita disposable income, but we also achieved significant gains in many areas that your country cannot reach. Breakthrough!" Ruprecht said.

The Kingdom of Bavaria before 1890 was indeed a salted fish economically. But then, with the establishment of the Southern Industries Group, Bavaria quickly achieved economic take-off. The first gun was fired by naval hardened armor. Imagine that a ton of hardened armor costs between 80 and 120 pounds. Before the year, the hardened armor of all European warships came from Bavaria! According to a quarter of the weight of a battleship is the weight of the armor, so good, based on this alone, how much money can Bavaria get? Do it yourself! Even after the proliferation of technology, every warship using German armored technology still has to pay Bavaria 20% of the patent fee! This is another sum of money!

Then, with the use of hardened armor, the Kingdom of Bavaria quickly opened up a market in the world naval shipbuilding industry. After reaching a cooperation agreement with the Brom-Forth Shipyard, Southern Industries Group quickly developed and expanded in the shipbuilding field. Warships of German descent have the Bavarian Ship Design Bureau. And when entering the era of fearlessness, Bavaria has made great efforts in marine steam turbines and diesel engines for submarines ~www.novelhall.com~ Until now, the marine power branch of Bavarian Southern Industries Group has occupied the world's marine use. Nearly one-tenth of the power!

Later, with the rise of the internal combustion engine, Bavaria also developed rapidly in gasoline and diesel engines. In fact, Sweden is not too late if it is just a start. For example, the famous Scania car factory in Sweden was established as early as 1891. Later generations are famous for producing trucks and buses. This time is much earlier than the ground equipment branch of the Bavarian Southern Industries Group, but from the very beginning of the finished product, Scania has never been able to compare with Bavaria.

The reason is simple. Sweden does not have a matching engine manufacturer. The Bavarian car can use Germany's strong technical accumulation to directly produce its own engine, and relying on the foresight of the crossover, the famous Daimler-Benz has also been included under the crown prince, so almost, and historically equivalent Compared with the German power pioneers that have been opened, the Swedes can only play GG easily. Bavarian cars are very popular in Europe, and Scania cars in Sweden can only be mixed in Sweden, and you think , How big is the market in Sweden? But how many cars can a country of 7 million people buy?

How did the Bavarian automobile industry develop? At the beginning, the main focus was on heavy-duty vehicles. For a long time, government orders were used to maintain production. It took Ruprecht 10 years and orders of more than tens of millions of marks to finally raise Daimler. Is it easy?
