Chapter 2421 Governing the Country II
As for the later aero-engine field? Sweden is even more sleepy! Almost all aero engines at the beginning were used in the military. Sweden itself is a small country. How can it have the ability to open up the situation independently in the forefront of technology? Even if the aero engine technology is not very difficult at the beginning, the premise is that you have demand! This is like, Italy, which needs it, can produce a good engine at that time, but Sweden will never be able to produce it!
And one step difference, step difference, aircraft engine and the engine of heavy vehicle itself have the sameness. Sweden, which is not good at aero engines, is naturally not good at heavy vehicle engines. Therefore, it is no surprise that Sweden's gap in power systems is getting farther and farther!
"Your Highness, it's unfair for you to say that. The Kingdom of Bavaria itself is part of the German Empire, and your family has a very long blood relationship and extraordinary relationship with the Austro-Hungarian Empire. You have very good sons and daughters." System, at least a little integration can produce very good products, you have a vast market, and the special status of the Bavarian royal family provides various conveniences for the export of your country’s products.”
"Before, you said that Bavaria needs to undertake relatively heavy military obligations, but in fact, this is also Bavaria's advantage. Because your country is preparing for war, you have invested a lot of money in military industry, heavy industry, and chemical industry. And these The development of the field has brought a large number of orders to factories in your country." Branting retorted. He insisted that it was Bavaria's good external environment and location advantages that brought about the take-off of Bavaria's industry, rather than Sweden's own problems in governing the country.
"Is it really just because of Bavaria's location and the relationship with the royal family?" Ruprecht asked with a smile. "I admit that what you said has some truth, but I think the root cause of the differences between the two countries lies in the actions of government agencies! Your country's enterprises cannot get the support of the government's will, and there are many excellent entrepreneurs who can find potential However, it ended up going bankrupt because it could not obtain enough funds and sales contracts. The biggest advantage of Bavaria over Sweden is that when we think a certain industry is worth investing in, the government can promote it with firm will go down!"
"For example, hardened armor. When Bavaria was making hardened armor, there were two other companies in the world besides us. One was the Americans. They made Harvey hardened armor. The other was the German Krupp company. They even Even the base material for hardened armor could not be produced, and in the end, two companies did it, us and the United States. Then we got huge profits and returns.”
"Of course, you will say that Sweden is peace-loving and does not seek powerful armaments, so this industry in the military professional field will not easily get involved. Then let's talk about another product, such as gasoline engines for cars? For To allow Mr. Daimler to produce a sufficiently good engine, the Kingdom of Bavaria has provided funds, materials and various facilities of up to 3 million marks for a period of time, and guaranteed that Bavaria will give priority to purchasing Daimler if it is not inferior to products produced by other manufacturers. Le engine."
"At the same time, we have also sent a large number of relevant professional talents to Daimler and recruited relevant professional and technical personnel from all over the world. The University of Munich has even set up professional internal combustion engine power, aero engine and vehicle design. We start from technology The company has given sufficient assistance to the company in terms of investment, capital, talents, and sales channels. Well, tell me that the whole kingdom stands behind Mr. Daimler, and the Scania automobile company in your country is behind Who?" The Crown Prince said with a smile.
Is Sweden's technology poor? In fact, the level is still acceptable. After all, the famous Volvo company, Saab company, and Ericsson company in later generations are all top companies in a certain industry.
Even if the Swedes were able to create these powerful conglomerates in the post-industrial period, it shows that Sweden's level is still very high. Another important reason is the tireless support of the Swedish government for these industries. For example, Saab can produce Saab 35, Saab 37 and later jas39 fighter jets. Can he produce it without the Swedish government paying for it? Another example is Volvo, do you really think that Volvo only produces cars? They also produce aero engines!
Therefore, a key strategic project cannot be launched without the support of the government and the will of the country. Maybe some projects do not make money, but their existence can ensure that the national industrial and technological system can be maintained at a relatively high level. However, it is a pity that the Swedish government's support and support for the industry in this era is relatively poor.
"It is undeniable that from the perspective of government execution efficiency and national will, Bavaria is far stronger than Sweden. We can invest in a key project for more than ten years. These investments have finally brought about a brilliant future. Achievement. But is it possible in your country? In your country, the National Party is one idea, the Social Democrats are another, and the Liberal People's Party is different from either of yours. Well then, each policy may not be sustainable If it continues, this problem may not be a problem in the past, but it will definitely not work in the future." The crown prince said.
"Well, I admit that you are not only a military genius, but you also have industrial and technological acumen that is difficult for ordinary people to match. More importantly, you are also the future supreme ruler of the Kingdom of Bavaria, and the power is concentrated in you hands, so you can withstand all pressures to realize your plan." Branting sighed and continued: "I know what you want me to say, I admit that in the hands of a wise man like you A centralized government would be more efficient under the leadership of the
In fact, from a personal point of view, Branting did not have a good impression of the German Empire, because he pursued fairness, equality and peace. Therefore, Germany, whose army is ready to fight at any time, will definitely not be recognized by him and a considerable part of the leaders of Sweden. At the same time, the German Empire is a monarchy with real power. From the perspective of Sweden, which has emptied the monarchy and realized parliamentary party rule, it is also an anomaly. Ideological divisions have existed since ancient times.
Although Sweden is not looking for trouble, it is impossible for you to think that Sweden itself does not pay attention to the military! In fact, whether it is Switzerland or Sweden, these countries pursue armed neutrality! Armed forces are used to ensure their neutral position, so when such a large-scale war broke out at their doorstep, how could the high-level Swedish officials not pay attention?
