Ten years have passed

The ranking of the top ten cities has undergone new changes. Among them, Songjiang City surpassed Brisbane, the second-year-old second, and used the vanguard of industry to impact the city's total population of 2 million, and continuously improves its comprehensive strength in all aspects.

There are also emerging industrial cities such as Beilun, Qingdao and Sanmalinda, which surpass the strong enemies with their respective advantages and advance from 1 to 3 places in the city rankings.

There are also cities such as Tianshu and Qiqu who have successively ushered in bottlenecks in economic development. Due to their own factors, their next development potential is limited, and the city rankings have declined, entering a period of slow growth.

Among the cities in the 11th to 20th place in the empire, a large number of cities that are catching up are catching up. Among them are Sydney, Manila, Gusu, Humen, Balibaban and Hangzhou, which have unique advantages. Let’s listen to them one by one.

Ranked 11th is Sydney, whose population grew from 624,000 in 1900 to 837,000 in 1910, making this beautiful coastal city even more prosperous.

This is a city that once fell and reborn. Thanks to the good animal husbandry production foundation in New South Wales and the superior geographical location of the north and south, it has been developing smoothly over the years.

Sydney's pillar industries are ranches, ports, education, finance and trade, and some light industry enterprises. In addition, the headquarters of the Pacific Alliance is located here, and the newly set up mineral futures exchange in the empire is also located here, which makes the city of Sydney even more vibrant.

Similar to Melbourne, Sydney is similar to that of Melbourne. A large number of newly-restored aristocratic groups are gathered around the city, with castles and manors and pastures, and wealth is gathered, so naturally there will be no lack of motivation for development.

It is precisely because of the high-end demand of emerging aristocratic groups that Sydney has developed financial laws and services, with hundreds of churches, Taoist temples, various large theaters, nightclubs, opera houses, brothels and restaurants, and is a luxurious city with bright lights and wine.

Urban architecture combines Chinese and Western styles, and is charming. The urban architecture here is British Victorian style, French Neo-romantic style, Italian Mediterranean architectural style, high-end and atmospheric architectural style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, revealing a luxurious style inside and outside.

This is a city with commerce, education, service industry and port trade as its core industries. The tertiary industry accounts for more than 60% of economic output, animal husbandry accounts for 20%, and industry accounts for less than 10% of its economic share.

Therefore, Sydney can form a strong synergy with Beilun City on the other side of the bay, and has extremely strong economic complementarity.

The twelfth ranks Humen City, Somalia. The urban population grew from 631,000 in 1900 to 806,000 in 1910. Compared with one ten years ago, it is the most dazzling star city along the Red Sea coast.

Over the past 10 years, Humen City has influx of a large number of immigrants from Mediterranean coastal countries such as Italy, Spain, France, and the total number is as high as more than 60,000. It is the city with the largest population of white immigrants.

The reason why it has such a strong attraction is that it is due to the open and inclusive social environment of Humen City, the beautiful and tidy urban landscape, the strong growth economy and the ubiquitous opportunities to make money, bringing unlimited possibilities.

The Somali Business Gang Base Camp at Feiming is located in Humen City. There are more than a dozen regional banks in the city. It has the largest mercenary federation among the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa. It is also the largest re-export port in Africa. It has an amazing number of warehouses.

Somali merchants operate a wide variety of commodities. In addition to the cigarette industry that has become a large-scale, the traditional canned industry has also added new content.

Here are the favorite canned tuna meats for Europeans, canned braised thornless fish, canned seafood and mushrooms, canned soybeans, and canned braised beef. The scale of the marine fishing industry in Humen City has continued to increase. Moreover, relying on the large orchard production base in Manila, new canned fruit products have been developed, which are also sold well in Europe and Africa.

Somalia foreign trade merchants operate all imperial advantage products, from various AC motor and power station equipment, series of diesel engines to cars, bicycles, and operate Mozambique frozen beef and mutton, leather products, dried fruits led by cashews and almonds, etc.

The first thing to do is to get the moon when approaching the water. Somali merchants adhere to the spirit of being good at pioneering and taking risks. The main sales markets are European markets. Anyway, they do whatever they make money.

Humen City's numerous Southern European immigrants played an important role in this process, helping to open up markets in Spain, Portugal, Italy and the Balkans, greatly expanding the space for international development of Humen City.

Compared with Xi'an, located in the eastern Djibouti region, due to its location as a desert oasis, there is a lack of freshwater resources, limited land and population carrying capacity. In addition, the hot climate, it is already the limit to reaching a population of nearly 500,000.

Humen City is different. It is located in a plateau area with an average altitude of 800 to 1,000 meters. It is bordered by the Red Sea coast. The annual maximum temperature does not exceed 24 degrees, and the annual precipitation is 800 to 1,100 mm. The hinterland has vast pastures and abundant freshwater resources.

As long as this city has enough industrial and commercial support, there is no upper limit for development, and because of its pleasant environment, high salary standards, prosperous and fair economic environment, and perfect urban facilities, it has attracted migrant populations in surrounding cities to settle down, buy property, and develop more and more prosperously.

This is an emerging international commercial city, which has strongly driven the development of Ed City, which is mainly based on shipbuilding and Asab, which is mainly based on agriculture and animal husbandry, and has also promoted the prosperity of Xi'an City in Djibouti region.

The 13th place is Gusu City, with a city population of 773,000, which is three places ahead of the city rankings 10 years ago. This is an emerging industrial city in the Songjiang economic circle. The machinery industry led by Xinghui Automobile Factory, Bynum Industrial Company, and Pacific Transmission Company is the city's pillar industry.

Among them, Xinghui Automobile Factory is the third largest automobile joint enterprise in the world with an annual output of 100,000 vehicles. The 12,000 heavy off-road trucks in the military orders were once accompanied by the soldiers of the Expeditionary Force to gallop across North America and Argentina, and established a huge reputation.

Nowadays, military orders from the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, France, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Brazil, Chile and other military orders are coming, which further consolidates the position of the leader of military trucks in Xinghui Automobile Factory. Its 6-10-ton heavy off-road truck is highly favored and is the first choice for artillery tractors in various countries around the world.

The total number of employees of Xinghui Automobile Factory alone reaches 137,000. With the start of production of a new modern factory, this scale is still expanding rapidly.

Benefiting from the early development of the Ocean Empire's automobile industry, which has a large scale and sufficient competition, Bynum Industrial Company and Pacific Transmission Company are also leaders in their respective fields and are very strong.

Relying on these three large automobile equipment companies, Gusu City has developed hundreds of large-scale supporting enterprises, not only supporting local automobile factories, but also supporting top enterprises such as Songjiang General Machinery Company, Volkswagen Factory, and BMW Automobile Factory, forming a complete automobile supporting industry chain.

Ranked 14th is the emerging oil city of Balibaban, with a city population of 721,500. This is another city that has a lot of tricks and is very popular. It mainly focuses on petrochemical and inorganic chemical industries, and has made it to the forefront of the city rankings with its resource advantages.

Manila ranked 15th with a city population of 707,000. After thirteen years of continuous investment by the Royal Interior Office, Manila has now fully appeared in a metropolis. It has high-rise buildings and buildings, straight and spacious roads, tall street trees and colorful bushes dotted among them, coconut trees swaying, unique in the style of the southern country.

The headquarters of the Royal Navy's Pacific Fleet is located here. It is also the most powerful fleet of the Royal Navy. It has 16 main battleships, Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Xuanwu, four 20,000-ton heavy cruisers and numerous large cruisers, accounting for more than 60% of the entire Royal Navy's strength.

The Royal Navy and its family members alone have as many as 170,000 people in Manila. This is a group with very strong consumption strength, with generally middle-class incomes, and a small number of senior officers are among the upper class, and their consumption capacity is unquestionable.

As the home port of the Royal Pacific Fleet, naval officers and soldiers bought land and settled a home in Manila. It was a foregone conclusion. From residential buildings, travel to daily consumption and other aspects, it greatly promoted the urban development of Manila.

After the victory of the "Wool War"

Several large shipyards with advanced technology and equipment dismantled from the Great Lakes area have settled in Manila. In addition, four large 50,000-ton docks are being built. This is a major infrastructure project of Manila Shipbuilding Group, a large enterprise controlled by Royal Fund, with an investment of up to 23 million Jinyang.

Each large ship of 50,000 tons is a large ship production line, with complete supporting factories, cranes, driving and various ship component processing equipment, riveting equipment, and deflection equipment. While having the ability to build large military ships, it is mainly used to produce 35,000 tons of free wheels and bulk cargo ships, and has the ability to develop a ship production capacity of more than 40,000 tons.

Due to the unique archipelago environment of the Philippine Islands and the eight royal dukes enfeoffed here, the main means of transportation between the islands is passenger ships. The route between regions is 20 to 30 kilometers short and 1,5 to 600 kilometers long. There are as many as 150 regular passenger ships, which are densely distributed among the islands.

In addition to customers, freighters are also an important means of transportation and undertake the important task of transporting goods between the islands.

Therefore, there is a high demand for offshore cargo ships carrying passengers ranging from 60 to 500 people, ranging from cargo capacity to 200 tons to 5,000 tons, which has also created a prosperous ship manufacturing industry in Manila.

Due to its important historical status, this ancient city of Manila will have great development potential in the future, and it will take some time to explore it carefully.

Ranked 16th, Hangzhou, which belongs to the Songjiang Economic Circle, has a population of 701,100 in the urban area. Its development strategy is the same as that of Gusu City. It also closely follows Songjiang's industrial development pace, forming a situation where the "product" shape is flying together.

Guangchang Plastic Company, Dachang Bicycle Factory, Seiko Textile Machinery Factory, Bailing Daily Chemical Factory, and Fudatong Cement Company are all large listed companies, with active private economy and an astonishing number of small and medium-sized enterprises. They are an indispensable and important part of the Songjiang economic circle.

Ranked 17th is Malawi, the northern city of Mozambique. It is the second-ranked "Cotton Textile City" in the empire. The population of residents has grown from 565,000 10 years ago to 710,000 today, and it has been very stable all the way.

After the empire opened up the North and South American markets, Malawi also had an opportunity to develop the cotton textile industry.

As the central city in northern Mozambique, a number of colleges and universities, led by the African School of Administration, Malawi Textile College, Mozambique Medical College, and Malawi Industrial College, have been established one after another, injecting new development momentum into the city.

As a light industrial city mainly engaged in textile and leather processing, Malawi's future development will be better than its neighbor Qiqu City. Even if Africa is poor, people always have to wear clothes. After breaking away from the shackles imposed by the British, Mozambique cotton can participate in fair competition around the world.

Not to mention other places, South Africa is a big market, just a short distance away.
