Chapter 2421 Governing the country 2

As for the later field of aero engines, Sweden would even take a shower! Almost all aircraft engines were used in the military. Sweden itself was a small country, so how could it be able to open up the situation independently in the forefront of technology? Even if the technology of the aircraft engine at the beginning was not very difficult, the premise was that you had to have demand! This is like, Italy with demand could produce a good engine at that time, but Sweden would definitely not be able to do it!

As for one step, one step is different, the engines of aircraft engines and heavy vehicles themselves have the same characteristics. Sweden is not good at aero engines, and naturally does not perform well in terms of heavy vehicle engines. Therefore, without surprise, the gap in Sweden in power systems is getting farther and farther!

"Your Highness, it is unfair to say this. The Kingdom of Bavaria itself is part of the German Empire, and your family and the Austro-Hungarian Empire have a very long blood relationship and extraordinary relationship. You have a very good subsystem, and at least a little integration can create very good products. You have a vast market. 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 bear heavy military obligations, but in fact, this is also Bavaria's advantage. Because your country is preparing for war, you invest a large amount of funds in the fields of military industry, heavy industry, and chemical industry. The development of these fields has brought a large number of orders to your country's factories." Brandin retorted. He insisted that it was Bavaria's good external environment and location advantages that brought Bavaria's industry to the rise, rather than Sweden's own strategic governance problem.

"Is it really just because of Bavaria's position and royal relationship?" Ruprecht asked with a smile. "I admit that what you said makes sense, but the fundamental reason for the differences between the two countries is the actions of government agencies! Your country's enterprises cannot obtain the support of the government's will. There are many excellent entrepreneurs who can discover potential huge business opportunities, but they eventually go bankrupt because they cannot 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!"

"For example, when hardened armor was used, in Bavaria, there were two other companies in the world, one was American, one was Hard armor, and the other was German Krupp. They could not even produce substrates for hardened armor. In the end, two companies were us and the United States. Then we got rich profits and returns."

"Of course, you would say that Sweden is peace-loving and does not seek strong military equipment, so this kind of military professional industry will not easily get involved. So let's talk about another product, such as gasoline engines for automobiles? In order to enable Mr. Daimler to produce sufficiently excellent engines, the Kingdom of Bavaria has provided up to 3 million marks of funds, materials and various facilities for a period of time, and ensured that Bavaria will give priority to purchasing Daimler engines without lower than those produced by other manufacturers."

"At the same time, we have also provided a large number of relevant professional talents to Daimler and recruited relevant professional and technical personnel from the world. The University of Munich has even set up professional internal combustion engine power major, aero engine major and vehicle design major. We have provided sufficient assistance to the company in terms of technology, capital, talent, sales channels, etc. So, let me tell me that behind Mr. Daimler is the entire kingdom, and who is behind your Scania Automobile Company?" The crown prince said with a smile.

Is Sweden's technology poor? In fact, the level is still OK. After all, the famous Volvo, Saab, and Ericsson are all top-notch existences in a certain industry. Even if Swedes could create these powerful corporate groups in the post-industrial era, it means that Sweden's level is still very high. Another important reason is the Swedish government's tireless support for these industries. For example, Saab, which can create the Saab 35, Saab 37 and later Jas39 fighter jets. If the Swedish government pays for it, he can do it? For example, Volvo, do you really think that Volvo only produces cars? They also produce aircraft engines!

Therefore, a key strategic project will definitely not be able to rise without the support of the government and the will of the state. Perhaps some projects are not profitable, but their existence can ensure that the national industrial and technical system can be maintained at a higher level. Unfortunately, the Swedish government's support and support for industries in this era were relatively poor.

"It is undeniable that from the perspective of government implementation efficiency and national will, Bavaria is far stronger than Sweden. We can invest in a key project for more than ten years. These investments eventually result in brilliant achievements. But can your country? In your country, the National Party is an idea, the Social Democratic Party is another idea, and the Liberal BJP is different from the first two of you. So good, every policy may not be implemented continuously. This problem may not be a problem in the original, 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 also have a keenness in industrial and technological sense that ordinary people cannot reach. More importantly, you are the future supreme ruler of the Kingdom of Bavaria, with rights concentrated in your hands, so you can withstand all pressures to achieve your plan." Branding sighed and continued: "I know what you want me to say, and I admit that under the leadership of a wise man like you, a centralized government will be more efficient."

In fact, from a personal point of view, Branding had no good impression of the German Empire because he pursued fairness, equality and peace. Therefore, Germany, which was ready to fight at any time, would definitely not be recognized by him and a considerable number of Sweden leaders. At the same time, the German Empire was a real-power monarchy. In the view of Sweden, which had already undermined the monarch and realized parliamentary party rule, it was also an alien. The ideological division has been carried out from ancient times to the present.

Although Sweden does not seek trouble, it is impossible for you to think that Sweden itself does not pay attention to military affairs! In fact, whether it is Switzerland or Sweden, these countries pursue armed neutrality! Use armed forces to ensure their neutral position. Therefore, when such a large-scale war broke out at their doorstep, how could Swedish senior officials not pay attention?
