Not many people stayed in this room, including Crown Prince Ruprecht and one of his servants and clerks. In Sweden, it was Karl Yarma Brantine and one of his entourage. After completing the necessary preparations, the rest of the personnel left the house and left the space to the main owner.

"I can feel the prejudice of you and the government behind you from the empire. You are worried, afraid and a kind of avoidance about the rise of the empire. In reality, it is a avoidance of the empire. You think that closing your doors and windows and living your own life is the best choice. You also choose to turn a blind eye to the olive branch we extend. This is not good." Crown Prince Ruprecht said.

"The Kingdom of Sweden and the German Empire belong to two different countries. We both have their own ways of survival. Without essential stakeholders, I think the relationship between the two countries is very good. In fact, the Kingdom of Sweden has always adhered to neutrality, both for your country and for Britain and France." Branding thought for a while and said.

"The Kingdom of Sweden and the German Empire naturally belong to two different countries, but I think Sweden and Bavaria can still be compared. After all, before 1890, Bavaria and Sweden were the same in terms of economy and population, and if we talk about natural resource endowments, Sweden is much better than us. So now, can we discuss the similarities and differences between the development paths of the two countries based on their respective kingdom dimensions? Don't forget that in addition to the identity of a soldier, I also have an identity as the ruler of the kingdom!" Ruprecht said.

"This is very interesting." Brandin suddenly became interested. After all, Brandin has been a Swedish prime minister for three terms. It is absolutely impossible to say that he has no talent for governing the country without interest. Brandin cannot rely solely on propaganda and peace, and his fair propositions can control the Swedish government for a long time. He has his own set of governing the country, and in some aspects it is similar to the crown prince!

"Very good, so let's first analyze the starting conditions of Bavaria and Sweden? We both take 1890 as the boundary?" Ruprecht said.

"Yes, as a Swedes, I will first analyze the national conditions of Sweden. Sweden's population in 1980 was slightly lower than that of Bavaria. Our economic development level was also better than your country. Before the rise of your country's Southern Industrial Group, the industrial level of Bavaria was not good. Our Nobel Industrial Group and Bofos Group were very competitive even in Europe. In terms of grain production, Sweden had a huge advantage. The crop production level in Bavaria was generally lower than the German average. Germany's food cannot be self-sufficient, and Sweden's food production was 165% of our demand. If we count grasslands, lakes and forests, we have a greater advantage." Brantine said.

"Your Excellency also forgot one thing, that is, the heavy military pressure that the Kingdom of Bavaria needs to bear. We maintained a standing armed force of 100,000 people in peacetime, and in wartime, we need to expand it to 250,000 in a short time. The Swedish government's demand for military power is very low, and the Kingdom of Sweden has independent tariffs, its own ports and merchant fleets, which gave the Kingdom of Sweden an advantage in 1890." Ruprecht said.

"Yes, at that time, Bavaria was just a geographical noun in Europe, and the meaning is completely different from the current name." Brandin said with some emotion.

"However, in less than 20 years later, Bavaria rose rapidly. We not only surpassed your country in terms of economic scale, per capita GDP and per capita disposable income, but also made major breakthroughs in many areas that your country cannot reach!" said Ruprecht.

The Bavarian Kingdom was indeed economically salty. But then, with the establishment of the Southern Industrial Group, Bavaria quickly took off economically. The first shot was the naval hardened armor. Imagine that the cost of a ton of hardened armor was between 80 and 120 pounds. From 1890 to 1905, the hardened armor of all European warships came from Bavaria! According to a quarter of the weight of a warship was armored weight, so how much money could Bavaria get based on this alone? Calculate it yourself! Even after the spread of technology, every warship using German armor technology still had to give Bavaria 20% of the patent fee! This is another money!

Subsequently, using hardened armor, the Kingdom of Bavaria quickly opened up sales in the world's naval shipbuilding industry. After reaching a cooperation agreement with Brom-Foss Shipyard, the Southern Industrial Group quickly grew and grew in the field of shipbuilding. It can be said that every German-born warship has the Bavarian Ship Design Bureau. When entering the fearless era, Bavaria made great efforts in marine steam turbines and diesel engines for submarines. Until now, the ship power branch of the Bavarian Southern Industrial Group accounts for nearly one-tenth of the world's marine power!

Subsequently, with the rise of internal combustion engines, Bavaria also developed very rapidly in gasoline engines and diesel engines. In fact, if we start simply, Sweden is not too late. For example, the famous Scania Automobile Manufacturing Factory was established as early as 1891 and was later famous for producing trucks and buses. This time was much earlier than the ground equipment branch of the Bavarian Southern Industrial Group, but from the beginning when the finished product was taken out, Scania Automobile Company was never able to compare with Bavaria.

The reason is very simple. Sweden does not have a matching engine manufacturer. Bavarian cars can use Germany's strong technical accumulation to directly create their own engines. Relying on the foresight of the time traveler, the famous Daimler-Benz was also included in the crown prince. Therefore, compared with the German power pioneers who were equivalent to cheating in history, the Swedes could only make ggs with ggs. Bavarian cars were extremely popular in Europe, and Scania cars in Sweden could only be mixed in Sweden. Think about it, what kind of market is Sweden? How many cars can a country with 7 million people buy?

How did the Bavarian automobile industry develop? It began to focus on load-load vehicles. For a long time, government orders were used to maintain production. Ruprecht finally managed to raise Daimler after 10 years and orders of more than tens of millions of marks. Is this easy?
