Rise of Empires: Spain.

No update today, fix the problem.

I was originally planning to continue writing, but after reading the comments, I found that there are big problems with my recent writing.

First of all, the issue of the 400 million population of the Lan Fang Republic was a little confusing when the author wrote it. The author meant the total population of 400 million, not the 400 million Chinese. The Chinese were about 50, accounting for one eighth of the total population of the Lan Fang Republic. This paragraph has been fully revised. Thanks to the readers who raised the question.

The second is the problem of the simple car that the author wrote about before. Some book friends think that at that time, there was no gasoline or engine, so the appearance of the car was unreasonable.

In fact, the first crude gasoline was already available in 1865, and the four-stroke internal combustion engine was invented in 1876.

Daimler, Maybach and Benz were all the original team that developed the Otto four-stroke engine. With the protagonist investing a lot of money and giving full support, the author believes that it is reasonable for the internal combustion engine to be born three years earlier.

Of course, the internal combustion engines and gasoline that are available now are relatively primitive and will be improved later.

There is also the issue that the plains of the Congo River basin are not suitable for survival, and the plateaus in the upper reaches are more suitable for developing agriculture. The author did not carefully check the African data, so I apologize for this. The relevant chapters will be revised to some extent. The place where Spain focused on developing and establishing colonies is indeed in the upper reaches. The upper reaches are not plains, but plateaus.

Finally, there is the problem that the book friends mentioned that Spain currently has too many colonies and the stalls are too big. Cuba, Puerto Rico, Congo, Morocco, the Philippines, Kalimantan, Guinea and the future New Guinea, these colonies do seem to be a lot, but in fact there are only four regions, namely the Caribbean, Morocco, the Congo River Basin and Southeast Asia.

Compared with historical Spain, it actually only has southern Morocco and Congo, plus a small piece of Kalimantan.

Personally, I think Spain can hold on to these lands. After all, Spain is stronger now than it was in history.

As long as Spain does not commit suicide and does not cross the bottom line of the British, that is, India, Gibraltar and Portugal, the British will most likely not turn against Spain.

The remaining France is not a concern, and this does not essentially violate the interests of the French.

The author can only look through the most recent reviews, and some reviews are too old to be looked through. If readers find any problems or bad points in reading, they can raise them in this chapter or in the book review, and the author will respond and make changes as soon as he sees them.

Thank you for your support. The author will do his best to correct the above mentioned problems tonight. If there are any new problems, they will be corrected as soon as possible.

The humble author kneels in thanks!
