The British are going to reform, and for most countries, this is definitely a happy event worth celebrating together.

"Reform" may not necessarily make the country stronger, but it will definitely make the government busy.

The bigger the country, the longer the regime exists, the more problems it will encounter in the process of "reform". The problems faced by the century-old world hegemony, like Britain, are naturally all-round.

From colonies to local areas, there are too many historical problems that the government needs to find a way to solve.

It can be said that it "one moves the whole body". Even if the London government only carries out partial reforms, it will be enough for them to be busy for a while.

History has proved that as long as the British get busy, international disputes will be greatly reduced and the world will become harmonious.

In fact, with the reunification of the Holy Roman Empire, the frequency of British people doing things has been reduced a lot in recent years.

With the Holy Roman Empire being restrained, most of the British government's energy was dragged down, so naturally there was no time to toss other countries.

Now that the British government wants to carry out internal reforms, it will be even less energy to make trouble. For politicians around the world, this is a major benefit, which means that everyone can sleep for a few more days.

Although the two strong men are now standing together, Britain is the only one who likes to struggle. As for the other overlord, he is obviously a farmer.

If you look through international news, you will know that since the establishment of the hegemony of the Holy Roman Empire, in addition to supporting Spain to expel the Japanese, you have to form peacekeeping troops to garrison France.

If it weren't for the Habsburg dynasty's double eagle flag floating all over the world, everyone would have almost forgotten this new overlord.

Of course, this is just for ordinary people, and politicians dare not forget it. Not doing things does not mean that they are unable to do things.

Just because the Shenluo ambassador to sabotage the British every day, everyone knows that this is not a good person to mess with. Especially in the past two years, the Shenluo Navy has often been driving "super battleships" out, in the name of exchange of learning experiences.

It is obvious that it makes no sense to share experience with a few thousand tons of ironclad ships and dreadnoughts.

If it is not for establishing authority, no one would believe it. Even if you know, politics is rare to be confused. The overlords have come to "friendly exchanges", so you must not cooperate!

Fortunately, the Shenluo Navy just walked around and swore a little bit of existence? Didn’t take the opportunity to engage in political blackmail? Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The final result is that the progress of the British government's winning over allies has become particularly unsatisfactory. Although the Royal Navy has the highest tonnage in the world? However, it has suffered a loss in the number of super battleships.

There is no way? The construction of warships also takes time. Shinra's first-generation super battleship, "Roman", was put into service in 1900? The British have just begun to launch research and development.

With all my efforts, the British super battleship was dragged until 1903 before they entered service. This was already a super-level performance.

From project design, construction to final service? It took only more than two years to go from project establishment to design? It is enough to prove the strength of Britain's shipbuilding industry.

This is useless. At the construction speed of one ship a year, Shinra's fourth super battleship has been launched, and it is almost a foregone conclusion to be put into service within the year.

Is the Royal Navy behind? It’s just temporary? But the impact on various countries is still huge.

One step slow, one step slow.

The naval technological revolution has broken out. Can the Royal Navy, which is temporarily at a disadvantage, really catch up?

The British shipbuilding industry was able to crush almost all countries in the world, but the Holy Roman Empire was missed. Is this a market decision? It is not changed by personal will.

The seeds of doubt have been planted, and everyone’s inference about Britain’s invincible position has already been shaken.

Since we cannot determine the outcome, we naturally cannot rush to take the team. We are not at the moment of "either friend or enemy"? You can slow down and observe it more easily.

All countries around the world are relaxed? Franz has a headache. The international situation has become unrecognizable. No one is sure whether the British reform will succeed.

Original Time and Space Campbell was elected Prime Minister in December 1905? He met God in April 1908, and his actual rule was less than two years.

It is obviously impossible to complete the reform plan in such a short time, but history still has a good evaluation of him.

Due to the butterfly effect, due to the domestic economic decline and the intensified social contradictions, all sectors of British society realized that reforms were necessary, and Campbell, the reformist leader, was elected in 1902.

Being elected three years ahead of schedule means that the reformists have three more years. For a country, the "three years" does not seem to be long, but it can change many things.

Britain is still very strong. Once internal contradictions are resolved and the colonies are integrated, it still has great potential.

Ready-made examples are in front of you, and Franz cannot guarantee that the British will not follow suit.

If the British are stimulated and follow Shenluo to divide the seal and eat Australia, Canada, New Zealand and other regions completely, it will be another world empire.

With such a big support, Britain is still a top power even if it loses in the battle for hegemony.

The only thing that is thankful is that England is in short supply and cannot digest such a large territory for a while. Otherwise, Franz would have to do it in advance.

...

Frederick: "Father, this is a new economic construction plan drafted by the cabinet. Based on the previous five-year plan, a new Western Economic Revitalization Plan was added, and he was preparing to spend heavily on building the Ruhr industrial zone.

I have studied it and the Ruhr area is indeed suitable for the development of industry, especially heavy industry. It is not only convenient for transportation, but also close to the origin of raw materials.

Once developed, it will be the industrial center of the western part of the empire. It is of great significance to promote the economic development of the western region.

The most important thing is that the empire's heavy industry was too scattered. Due to industrial raw materials, there are more than a dozen heavy industry centers across the country, but there is no real core.

Before the empire developed, such a dispersed layout could increase the security of the country, and naturally it cannot be miscalculated.

The situation is different now. On the European continent, we have no enemies, we have completely set up a core to further promote the development of the domestic economy."

"Revitalizing the Western Economy" is a joke if it was before.

You should know that the European continent has always had an obvious characteristic, that is, Western Europe's economy is the most developed, Central Europe followed by Northern Europe, Southern Europe is the second, and Eastern Europe's economy has always been at the bottom.

However, this situation has undergone fundamental changes since the revival of the Holy Roman Empire.

Eastern Europe's economy is still at the bottom, and Nordics have not changed much. Western Europe's economy has been declining in recent years. Instead, Central and Southern Europe has become the most economically developed region in the world.

Of course, the economic development of Southern Europe is only developed in some areas. The economy of Italy has not improved significantly, let alone Spain.

Whether they are Southern European countries or Western European countries, there is no unified conclusion on this issue.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that putting them in southern Europe will lower the economic average, and in western Europe you can pull up a few points.

The main reason is the cause of war. A continental war destroyed the pillar of France, including the territory in the western part of Shinrot, and the war also suffered heavy losses.

As for Britain, it is not a mainland country, so naturally it cannot be forgotten. In order to exclude the British, Shenra tacitly threw Britain out of Europe, whether it was government documents or radio newspapers.

After the end of the European War, the Vienna government launched a plan for reconstruction of the western region. Just reconstruction cannot be said to be further developed.

Especially the territory of the newly acquired areas, due to the population, the local economy has not improved much, and has become a drag on the ground.

In order to change all this, the Vienna government has made efforts. It was just that before, it was mainly busy restoring post-war infrastructure.

As for developing the economy, people must first be needed. Although the Holy Roman Empire has a large population, it is too big to resist the empire.

As the country grows, there are more "key projects". In contrast, the western region in the middle of reconstruction does not have a high position in the empire's economic strategy.

It is neither comparable to the African ring railway, nor the petrochemical industry chain in the Middle East, nor the local automobile and aviation industries.

In the western region, where the economic strategy is not high and the population is lacking, the resource tilt that can be obtained is naturally limited.

It is unrealistic to encourage immigration, and there are more places to grab people. The western territory located on the border is simply not competitive.

In the eyes of ordinary people, going to the west to be neighbors with the French is a big challenge in itself, and no one knows when the fight started again.

In a sense, this is also the blame for the Vienna government. It deliberately suppressed reports on the domestic situation in France, and even if it was occasionally published in newspapers, it would be an understatement.

Ordinary people don’t know that the French Empire, which was once awesome, is now a phoenix with hair plucked.

The new official made three furious attempts to take office. Due to the great achievements of the previous government, the new cabinet did not dare to change its course easily. It took several years to hold on, and it was only now that it was possible to find an opportunity.

The heavy industry distribution of the Holy Roman Empire was indeed too scattered. It was not that Franz didn't want to concentrate, but that he couldn't concentrate at all.

There are many areas suitable for the development of heavy industry, but due to various reasons, the upper limit of development is inherently limited.

Taking the steel industry as an example, there are seven steel centers with an annual output of one million tons; there are more areas with an annual output of 500,000 tons; however, there are not one steel centers with an annual output of 5 million tons.

In this era, such production capacity can still be achieved. If it were later generations, any township enterprise could be sold out in seconds.

It’s not that steel companies are not working hard, but because the natural conditions are too restrictive. With the increase in production capacity, the costs have also increased. Many steel centers have actually developed to the limits of existing technology.

Judging from the development of the Holy Roman Empire, the annual steel production capacity of 28.78 million tons is obviously unable to meet the demand.

According to economic experts' forecasts, the demand for steel by the Holy Roman Empire will increase to 50 million tons in the next twenty years.

Theoretically, by tapping out the potential of all the steel centers of Shinra, you can meet the needs and there is no need to continue to expand.

Obviously, theory is just theory. Society is constantly developing, and the demand for steel is increasing day by day.

The current demand forecast of 50 million tons is not static. After all, the Holy Roman Empire is too big and the potential demand is unimaginable.

Judging from the experience of previous lives, as long as Shenluo does not decline, the future demand for steel will definitely be used as units of 100 million, which is nothing more than a matter of time.

However, the future is always the future, so you should focus on the present. After taking the document and reading it for a brief moment, Franz said slowly: "This plan is too radical.

I don't doubt that the Ruhr area can establish a steel center with an annual output of tens of millions of tons, but don't forget that the economic market that can really determine the production capacity is the economic market, not the government.

The world economy is indeed hot now, but don’t forget that there are problems with the British economy. The London government is carrying out reforms at this time. What if it withdraws from the free trade system?

Once the British adopt trade barriers, there are definitely many countries that will follow the trend next, and our foreign trade exports will inevitably be affected.

Even if the economic crisis breaks out, I won’t feel surprised. Is the market demand for steel still so large in the short term?

If our steel center is not lucky and our steel center is put into production a few years later and just catches up with a new round of economic crisis, what should we do?"

It’s not that Franz is conservative, but that it is really an economic crisis in the capitalist economic world, and it is already as numerous as a bull. Judging from the past rules, it’s almost once every ten years.

It has been several years since the last economic crisis. Now we have started to build a steel center. Even if we fail to catch up with the crisis when it is put into production, it will enter the countdown to the crisis.

With a massive overcapacity erupting, the domestic steel industry is definitely wailing, and I don’t know how many industries it will be tormented.

The most tragic thing is the steel industry of Shenluo, either government investment or royal consortiums, and private capital rarely encounters these high-investment and long-term industries.

The industries you create yourself will destroy your own business, which is definitely a sign of your brain.
