Behind the high economic development, there are also many hidden dangers, the most typical example is that the gap between the rich and the poor is widening.

There is no pair of indexes to express. Franz just needs to read the big data of statistics directly. It is all viewed by the senior government officials themselves and will not be announced to the public, so naturally there is no need to inject water.

In 1875, the local GDP was about 5.46 billion ASUS, which was well-deserved as the world's number one. (The localized African part and states were counted)

Looking at big data alone, the local GDP is twice that of the UK. The data is really beautiful. If you compare the following data, you can't read it.

The population of Austria and Europe is about 10,000, while the population of the localized areas of Africa is about 6.2152 million, a total of 10,000, while the population of the British is only over 30 million.

The population is 2.8 times, and the total economic output has just exceeded 2 times, and it is reversed by the British in terms of per capita.

Due to incomplete information, the Vienna government can only roughly estimate that the per capita income in Austria is only more than seven floors that of the British.

The only thing that is gratifying is that the French have passed by. Since the Italian region has been dragged down, France's per capita income has gone to Austria.

Of course, France's total economic output has increased. Like Austria, relying on its large population and its strength, the GDP has surpassed the British mainland.

It makes no sense to look at the total amount simply. Except for Austria's own investigation, other countries are estimated by economists, so it is normal to have a 10% or 20% error.

However, the gap between this and 20% is huge. At present, there are many statements in the domestic economic circle of Austria. Everyone unanimously recognizes the world's five major economies: Austria, Britain, France, the Far East Empire, and India.

But there are endless disputes in rankings, and no one can convince anyone.

The first type: Austria>France>British>Far East Empire>India;

The second type: Far East Empire>India Austria>France>British;

The third type: Far East Empire>India>Austria>France>British;

...

Without detailed survey data, everyone has their own theoretical basis, and Franz cannot be sure who is correct. This does not affect the Vienna government's position of putting itself first.

Even if it is not the world's number one now, it will become the world's number one soon. Now it is the industrial revolution period, and it is in a high period of economic growth. Industrial countries have too much advantage over agricultural countries.

In addition to the local area, Austria's GDP was also listed. What surprised Franz was that the South China Sea colonial output was about to catch up with Austria Africa. (Only counting localized areas)

You should know that the Vienna government attaches great importance to the Austrian Africa in the far south of the ocean, and the size of the two is very different.

Now the Austrian South Ocean is mainly Kalimantan and New Guinea, as well as some small islands around it. These areas are not the richest areas in the South Ocean, and can actually create such high output value.

Specific data:

450 million ASCHEUKS;

The 360 ​​million Aegis shield belongs to Nanyang;

250 million ASUS in Central America;

Austrian South American 11oo Ten Thousand Globes;

Austrian Alaska 54,000 ASCH;

(The Austrian Arabian Peninsula was not completely occupied and was in a chaotic period, not counted)

Judging from the data, the difference between the two is still 20%, which seems to be a far cry from the gap, but compared with the data counted five years ago, the difference between the two has narrowed by 8 percentage points.

It seemed to be aware of Franz's doubts. The colonial minister Stephen explained: "Your Majesty, the Austrian Nanyang exhibition has been very fast in recent years. Especially in the Lanfang Autonomous Province, the agricultural exhibition has been very fast.

Now the world's largest rubber plantation has been established, and pepper plantation has been developed. Local residents have opened up about 150,000 hectares of farmland to plant crops such as rice, corn, pumpkin, etc.

In addition, several new gold mines have been discovered on the island, and coal mines have been discovered in the southwest, and they have been mined."

This answer made Franz even more puzzled. In his memory, except for a few areas of fertile land, most of Kalimantan was not very good.

Of course, it is still possible to grow grain, but in the era without fertilizers, the yield will be very touching.

He knows that Chinese people like to farm, but they will also consider rewards. If you open up so much farmland, does Kalimantan have so much fertile land?

Franz asked: "How many people are there in Lanfang Autonomous Province now? How about the output of so much farmland?"

Colonial Minister Stephen: "The population of Lanfang Autonomous Province is growing very fast, now it is about eight million, and it may exceed ten million in a few years.

The agricultural production methods on the island are still a bit backward, relying mainly on manpower and animal farming. There is almost no machinery, and the output is only slightly lower than in China.

I have to say that Lan Fang people are the best farmers. They are still keen on land reclamation. If other regions have half of their enthusiasm, the food in the world will be unsold."

Compared with the British, French, Italian, and Germans, the enthusiasm for farming is already high. Just look at the number of farms in the colonies of various countries.

Most of the people who go to the colonies these days are for money rather than farming. These people would rather take risks than farm honestly.

Austria is lucky. Many German farmers' dream is to be farmers, and these people have become the core of the Austrian colonial economic exhibition.

However, everyone is rational and you have to make money by farming. You will never touch the barren land. Most areas of Kalimantan Island are barren lands.

Franz frowned slightly: "How did they ensure grain production? I remember the investigation report seemed to say that the land in Lanfang Autonomous Province was barren and had no agricultural value."

The Vienna government has sent people to evaluate each colony. There will be detailed information for colonial government officials to check what is suitable for exhibition and what is not suitable for exhibition.

Lanfang Autonomous Province is no exception. Since the Austrian flag is planted, these basic tasks are still indispensable.

After pondering for a while, Stephen replied: "Bird guano, Lanfang Province uses bird guano as fertilizer a lot. We have several bird guano islands in the Pacific Ocean, just near the Marshall Islands.

The colonial ministry was included in the ruling area after the Lanfang Autonomous Province applied to the government."

Franz nodded. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Nauru in later generations.

Austria occupies less than 10,000 islands. Due to the butterfly effect, the names of many islands have been changed beyond recognition, so naturally Franz cannot distinguish them.

"When doing well, bird droppings are also a resource and are very effective in agricultural production. This is a gift from nature. For the long-term development, it is necessary for us to protect it in advance and make reasonable use of it.

The colonial government shall enact laws as soon as possible to prohibit anyone from hunting around the Hot Island. Bird Hot Island must also choose the appropriate season to open birds and cannot affect the survival of birds.

You can put more effort into this, and you can circle more ownerless islands. Even if they are not valuable, you can mark them first.

Just think of it as an increase in the sea area. According to the current situation, after the international conference is held next year, the sphere of influence will likely include coastlines.

Especially the islands with ports, whether they are useful or not, they will occupy them first."

It is necessary to protect the bird guano island. If all the birds are gone, what else can you sell?

This is a wealth delivered to your doorstep. It can be used for many years when it is reasonable, but naturally it cannot be exhausted and fished.

It is necessary to seize the island. In the era of boats and land grabbing, it is really fast and slow.

Once the international situation stabilizes and everyone's sphere of influence is defined, this kind of good thing will end.

This is also a good thing for Austria. Once a new international order is established, gold mines in Alaska can be mined.

Franz has long been unable to hold on to it. However, Alaska is not suitable for human habitation, and even the climate in the canyon area is not very good.

This means that it is difficult for Austria to establish a solid foundation in the local area. Perhaps no one dares to rob it on the surface, but it cannot withstand the stabbing of others in secret.

Not to mention anything else, the Vienna government cannot eliminate the long border between Alaska and Canada alone.

After the establishment of the international order, it was different. Everyone signed a treaty and agreed not to stab each other, and they would restrain themselves no matter what.

If you breach the contract just now, do you want to be in the international market?

Although Alaska's gold mines are rich, they cannot be opened in a day or two. The part that can be opened now is not enough to make John Bull lose credibility.

Of course, the most important thing is that Austria is not weak and can take revenge.

Once the Vienna government abandons the bottom line and makes trouble for John Bull, it is still necessary to increase the cost of ruling millions of pounds per year.

With current technology, whether there is a profit of millions of pounds per year when mining Alaska gold mines is an unknown.

John Niu may do things that harm others and do not benefit oneself; but the London government must think twice before doing things that harm others and yourself.

The Colonial Minister Stephen: "Yes, your Majesty. The Colonial Ministry will strive to bring as many ownerless islands into rule as possible before the end of the Paris Conference."
