My Italian: Chapter 549 1910s

The world in 1910 was in a peaceful atmosphere. Although the smoke of gunpowder began to fill the sky over Europe, this did not affect the current tranquility.

If there is anything that attracts more attention in this peaceful world, it is the news of the death of King Edward VII, the monarch of the British Empire this year. The British king, who reigned for just nine years, died at Buckingham Palace on May 6, 1910, from pneumonia.

This Edward VII was famous for his romanticism, and his father, Prince Albert, hurried back and forth from London to Cambridge because of his romantic affair, and died of typhoid two weeks later.

Affected by his father's death, his mother, Queen Victoria, has not allowed him to intervene in political or royal affairs. It wasn't until he was nearly 50 that he started getting involved. One can imagine how angry Queen Victoria was with her son.

But despite this, the Edward VII monarch, in addition to being romantic, still has a lot of achievements in politics. For example, during his reign, he vigorously restored the British monarchy that had been dimmed by the Queen's long-term widowhood. In addition, his visit to Paris in 1903 laid the foundation for the signing of the "British-French Agreement" between the two countries.

In any case, as the number one power in the world, the death of the monarch of the British Empire and the ascension of the new monarch must be extremely grand and grand.

The funeral of Edward VII was also a gathering of monarchs from various countries. Nine monarchs, five crown princes, seven queens, and more than forty members of the royal family attended his funeral, especially the famous photo of nine monarchs gathering, It was shot just before the funeral.

For this luxurious funeral of the century attended by dignitaries from various countries, Italy also sent a delegation headed by Foreign Minister Bacona to participate, and did not send members of the royal family or monarchs. The reason is simple, because the Savoy family is not married to the British royal family, and the relationship between the other two countries is somewhat delicate now, so there is no need to send such a high-level delegation.

In addition to the succession of the Emperor, a bourgeois revolution broke out in Portugal.

The revolution began with naval ships. Instigated by the Republican Party, a man named Santos led two cruisers to openly rebelled and bombarded the palace. The army also refused to implement King Manuel's order to suppress it, and instead formed a joint trend with the navy.

Manuel was leisurely playing bridge with the visiting Brazilian president at this time. After learning the news of the outbreak of the revolution, he knew that the situation was over and he could not stay for long. So he didn't care about the end of the game, and hurried from the harbor to England by boat.

The republican-minded soldiers in the city of Lisbon were not to be outdone. They took this opportunity to arrest their sleeping officers, quickly controlled the army that might interfere with the revolution, and distributed weapons to the people in the city who were eager for change.

It was all too easy, the Republicans found, to take over a country so quickly. So quickly patrol the streets, protect the private property of the people, and suppress all signs of anarchism.

Then Teofilo Braga was elected president, and the new government quickly carried out reforms in politics, economy, and foreign policy.

The Brazilian president who came to visit dramatically witnessed the hasty curtain call of the Portuguese monarchy. Yesterday he was playing bridge with the monarch, but the next day it changed. The sun of the republic shone on the land of Portugal.

The revolution in Portugal was like child's play. It was childish compared to another revolution, the Mexican Revolution.

This year, Mexico is holding another presidential election. President Díaz has always been the object of "love" by the people. He has ruled the country for more than 30 years. Under his rule, Mexico's economy was in serious chaos, and the people suffered even more. In addition, Mexico's elections are also quite democratic, because Dias always announces his re-election without elections. He has been re-elected as president for 6 terms.

The key is that Mr. Dias not only wants to generate electricity for Mexico, but also wants his family to always generate electricity for Mexico. This spirit of dedication to Messina made the people dissatisfied.

Among them, Madero, a liberal, put forward programs such as opposing dictatorship, protecting national industries, and establishing a constitutional state, which gained the support of the people.

Dias then locked Madero in a small black room and held a sham election in July, declaring himself the winner. As for Madero, who was locked in a small black room, he was released after the election.

The old man was also angry at being treated like this by His Excellency the President, and published the "San Luis Pitosi Plan" in San Antonio, Texas on October 3. Ask Dias to resign, distribute land and reform the electoral system, and call on the people to revolt in arms.

So under its lead, the revolution swept across Mexico. In the north, Orozco and Villa led the peasant army to attack the government army, and in the south, Sabata led the peasants in armed struggle.

Now Mexico is playing very lively, but at this time its enthusiastic neighbor, the United States, will naturally not be safe. The United States has always been very vigilant about Mexico, because the United States needs to control it.

During the rule of the Diaz government, the United States exported a large amount of capital and technology to Mexico. Although during the Dias period, Mexico's economy developed rapidly and its industry developed to a certain extent, but the economic development during Dias' rule was based on the unilateral export of the United States' economy, rather than on the basis of independence. So economically, Mexico has gradually been controlled by the United States.

As for the revolution that broke out now, the United States is naturally paying close attention to it. As long as there is any behavior that harms the interests of the United States, Uncle Sam will let the Mexican straw hat know the many benefits of his neighbors.

Although there are revolutions in two countries, their status in the world is not high, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the world is peaceful.

In this harmless and harmless situation, Italy's economy has developed rapidly.

At present, the Italian economy is mainly driven by the shipbuilding industry, automobile manufacturing industry, electric power industry, and military industry.

Taking the automobile manufacturing industry as an example, Italy has 197,000 people in the vehicle manufacturing industry alone, and the number of related industries has exceeded one million. This year, the total scale of the Italian automobile manufacturing industry exceeded the 2 billion lire mark, reaching a scale of 2.11 billion lire. Among them, exports of automobiles and parts accounted for 15.1% of total exports.

Although each country currently has its own car manufacturing plants, Italian cars account for more than half of the market share in each country due to the advantages of first-mover and large-scale production. Especially in the truck industry, which pays most attention to economic benefits, Italian trucks account for 80% of the sales in Europe.

The sales of trucks are so high, more because Italian auto companies were the first to enter the industry. Taking Fiat as an example, it spends tens of millions of lire on the research and development of truck technology every year.

This is something that other automakers can't do, so it is reasonable for Fiat to become the largest truck manufacturer.

In addition to automobile manufacturing, Italy's pillar industries, shipbuilding is also booming.

Low labor costs, as well as the continuous research and development of new technologies, make the Italian shipbuilding industry's share in the world's shipbuilding industry is also increasing. At present, the displacement of orders held by the Italian shipbuilding industry accounts for 18.9% of the total displacement of orders in the global shipbuilding industry, which is not a small number.

In addition to the large number of shipbuilding orders, Italy is also introducing new ones in related technologies. At present, the most powerful technology in Italy is the container and its supporting facilities and equipment. This is a technology developed in Italy under the guidance of an expert.

That's right, it is the killer container for shipping. Needless to say, the benefits of the container are, first of all, it can be used repeatedly for a long time. In addition, there is no need to move or load and unload midway, effectively avoiding cargo loss. It can also be loaded and unloaded quickly, and it is convenient to fill and empty the cargo. Secondly, there are many choices of specifications and standards, and they can be stacked in ports and ships, saving a lot of space.

More importantly, the efficiency of containers is unmatched by other loading methods, whether it is in reloading efficiency or economic efficiency.

Therefore, once the technology was launched, it immediately attracted countries to follow suit, and everyone upgraded the tools such as docks, stations, ships, etc., trying to fit the use of containers.

Among them, as a promoter of the use of containers, Italy has also made a lot of money from the container technology promoted in various countries. After all, the use of containers requires various facilities and equipment, and the facilities and equipment that are best to use containers are basically produced in Italy.

In fact, the container is very simple, mainly a problem of thinking. After all, this is just a big tin box, and it is more of a management point of view.

In addition to these two pillar industries, the Italian power industry has also not fallen behind. At present, among the manufacturers of electric power transportation and production equipment, Westinghouse Electric Company occupies a large proportion. In addition to these, Westinghouse has also developed a lot of electrical appliances for production and life, which are currently being promoted in various countries.

Of course, there is not only Westinghouse Electric in Italy. Electric companies such as Erica, Delonghi, and Tays are relatively well-known in the world. Of course, Westinghouse Electric is the largest and most important in Italy.

Needless to say about the military industry, countries are currently expanding their arms and preparing for war, and of course Italy is not behind. Turin Arsenal, Beretta Arms Company, Venice Naval Shipyard, etc. have provided sufficient support for Italy's military expansion.

After all, the guns, ammunition, artillery, warships, etc. needed for military expansion can all be built from the above-mentioned companies.

Of course, in addition to producing various weapons for the Italian military, the above-mentioned companies also accept orders from abroad. The performance of the Italian army in recent years has made the lack of self-produced countries and even various forces see it in the eyes, and in order to allow companies to achieve better development, the Italian government is also actively selling its own weapons to various countries. For example, the Qing Dynasty in the Far East did not purchase less, and Italy had a large share of guns and ammunition, artillery, and warships.

In addition, weapons produced in the Balkans, South America, the Middle East, and Africa and Italy can also be seen everywhere.

In addition to the above-mentioned industries, Italy's petrochemical industry should not be underestimated. At present, Italy is the largest oil exporter in Europe, and the oil from Libya is continuously provided to European countries. And relying on its own advantages in oil, Italy has its own place in the petrochemical industry. All kinds of crude oil, refined oil and their chemical products have become the key products exported by Italy, bringing Italy a lot of profits every year.

In addition to these pillar industries, various industries such as the steel industry, textile industry, and mining industry have also performed well driven by the pillar industries.

At present, Italy has a total of more than 8 million industrial workers, accounting for 18.7% of the total population.

That's right, the current total population of Italy has reached 43 million. Thanks to the great industrial development in recent years, coupled with the influence of Italian culture, the number of people who are willing to have children is not low, and this has also led to the constant growth of Italy's population in recent years. Not low.

At present, Italy's annual natural population growth rate has been hovering around 2%. For the increase in population, the Italian government has a lot of pressure.

Of course, this also proves that the growth of the Italian economy has led to the gradual prosperity of the people, otherwise, whoever has children will not have enough to eat.

Around the natural growth of population, the development of related industries such as education, medical care and food in Italy has not been slow in recent years.

In addition to their own development, these industries also receive considerable support from the government.

In recent years, the development of the Italian economy has brought the government's fiscal revenue to a new high. According to the estimate of the Ministry of Finance, this year's Italian fiscal revenue has reached a new high of 31.2 lire. The gross national product has reached a scale of 30.4 billion lire. It is very close to the level of France and Russia, much higher than Austria-Hungary. No one can wear the title of poor and great power on Italy.

And as Italy's economic situation is improving, its status in the Triple Alliance is also rising. Germany needs to ask the Italians for their opinions in many ways.

This is also the benefit brought about by the rise of national power. Of course, in addition to the benefits, there are also disadvantages. For example, Britain, France and Russia have strong unease about the growth of Italy's national power. France, in particular, has built many fortifications on the border between the two countries. At present, Paris has adopted a financial expenditure plan to increase its fortifications on the Alpine border.

Likewise, the British Navy strengthened its Mediterranean Fleet, assigning two of its new four Mammoth-class battleships to the Mediterranean Fleet.

At present, the British Mediterranean Fleet has 6 dreadnoughts, and its strength ranks second among all fleets, second only to the home fleet against Germany.

As for Russia, because of its long distance, it does not have many means against Italy, but its huge army advantage on the west side of its border with Germany and Austria is enough for the two countries to dare not ignore its existence.

Regarding the tension between Britain and France, Italy sent diplomats to express goodwill to the two countries, and on the other hand, accelerated the construction of warships. At present, the construction of the fourth ship of the Cavour class has started. In addition, the construction of the second ship of the Milan class will also start this year.

Italy's approach made the situation in the Mediterranean also tense.

At this time, the admixture of a non-adjacent country made the Mediterranean Sea more dangerous, and it also made European countries feel like enemies.

"Brother Shen!"

"Um!"

Shen Changqing was walking on the road, and whenever he met someone he knew well, he would say hello or nod to each other.

But no matter who.

There is no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they are indifferent to everything.

To this.

Shen Changqing is already used to it.

Because this is the Zhenmagic Division, an organization that maintains the stability of Daqin. Its main duty is to kill monsters and ghosts, and of course there are other side jobs.

It can be said.

In Zhenmensi, everyone's hands were stained with a lot of blood.

When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it as time went by.

Zhenmus is huge.

Those who can stay in Zhenmusi are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Zhenmagic Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy, and the other is the Exorcist.

Anyone who enters the Town of Demons starts from the lowest level of Demon Slayers,

Then he was promoted step by step, and eventually he was expected to become a guardian envoy.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the town of magic division, and he was also the lowest-ranked demon slayer.

With the memory of his predecessor~www.mtlnovel.com~ he is also very familiar with the environment of Zhenmensi.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Different from other places full of chills in Zhenmagus, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd. In the **** Zhenmagus, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.

Shen Changqing just hesitated for a moment, then stepped in.

Enter the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A scent of ink mixed with a faint smell of blood hit his face, making his brows furrowed instinctively, but then relaxed quickly.

There is almost no way to clean off the **** smell on everyone in Zhenmusi.
