Behind the rapid economic development, there are also many hidden dangers. The most typical is that the gap between the rich and the poor is widening.

There is not yet a pair of indices to indicate that Franz just looks at the statistical big data.They are all viewed by high-level government officials and will not be released to the public. Naturally, there is no need to inject water.

In 1875, the local GDP was about 5.46 billion Aegis, which is well-deservedly the world's first.(Statistics on localized African parts and states)

Looking at big data alone, the local GDP is twice that of the British mainland. The data is really beautiful. If you compare the following data, you can't read it.

Austria has a population of about 78.214 million in Europe, and a localized population of about 62.152 million in Africa, a total of 84.476 million, while the British population is only in the early 30 million.

The population is 2.8 times, the total economic volume has just broken twice, and the per capita has been overtaken by the British.

Due to incomplete information, the Vienna government can only roughly estimate that Austria's per capita income is only about seven layers of the British.

The only thing that is gratifying is that it surpassed the French. Since the Italian region has been delayed, the per capita income of France has ran behind Austria.

Of course, France ’s economic aggregate is still up. Like Austria, it relies on the strength of many people and its gross national product surpasses that of Britain.

Simply looking at the total amount has no meaning.Except for Austria's own investigation, other countries have estimated it by economists, and the error is very normal.

However, this gap of 20% is too great. At present, there are many opinions in the Austrian domestic economic community. Everyone agrees on the five major economies in the world: Austria, Britain, France, Far East Empire, and India.

But in the rankings, there was endless disputes, and no one could persuade anyone.

The first kind: Austria, France, Britain, Far East, India;

The second kind: Far East Empire India = Austria France Britain;

The third kind: Far East Empire India Austria France France Britain;

...

Without detailed survey data, everyone has their own theoretical basis, and Franz cannot be sure who is correct.This does not affect the government of Vienna to put itself first.

Even if it is not the world's first, it will become the world's first in a short time.The industrial revolution is now in a period of rapid economic growth, and industrial countries have too much advantage over agricultural countries.

In addition to the homeland, Austria ’s colonial GDP was also listed, and Franz was surprised that the value of the colonial real estate in Nanyang was about to catch up with Austria.(Only deduct localized areas)

It should be known that the Vienna government has paid more attention to the Austrian Africa than the Nanyang region, and the size of the two is also very different.

Now the Austrian South Ocean is mainly Kalimantan and New Guinea, as well as some small islands around it.These areas are not the richest areas in Nanyang, and they can actually create such a high output value.

precise data:

450 million Aegis in Austria

Aussie Nanyang 360 million Aegis;

Austrian Central American 250 million Aegis;

11 million Aegis of Austria and South America;

Austria Alaska 54,000 Aegis;

(The Austrian Arabian Peninsula is not completely occupied, it is in a period of chaos, no statistics)

From the data point of view, the gap between the two is still 20%. It seems that the gap is still far away, but compared with the statistics of five years ago, the gap between the two has narrowed by 8%.

Seemingly aware of Franz ’s doubts, the colonial minister Stephen explained: "Your Majesty, the Austrian South Ocean has developed very fast in recent years. Especially in Lanfang Autonomous Province, agriculture has developed very rapidly.

Now the world's largest rubber plantation has been established, and pepper plantations have also been developed.Local residents opened up about 15 million hectares of farmland to grow rice, corn, pumpkin and other crops.

In addition, several new gold mines have been discovered on the island, and coal mines have also been discovered in the southwest, which have already been mined."

This answer made Franz even more puzzled. In his memory, except for a few areas where Kalimantan is fertile, most of the land is not good.

Of course, it is still possible to grow food, but in an era without fertilizers, this output will be very touching.

He knows that Chinese people like to grow land, but they will also consider rewarding them, and open up so much farmland. Is there so much fertile soil in Kalimantan?

Franz asked: "How many people are there in Lanfang Autonomous Province now, how about the output of so much farmland?"

Colonial Minister Stephen: "The population of Lanfang Autonomous Province is growing very fast. There are now more than 8 million, and it may exceed 10 million in a few years.

The agricultural production methods on the island are still somewhat backward, mainly relying on human and animal farming, almost no machinery, and the output is only slightly lower than domestic.

It must be said that the Lanfang people are the best farmers. Now they are still keen to open up wasteland. If other regions have half of their enthusiasm, the world's food will be stagnant."

Compared with the British, French, and Italians, the enthusiasm of the Germans for farming is already high. Look at the number of farms in the colonies of various countries to know.

Most of the people who went to the colonies this year were for making money, not for farming.These people would rather take risks instead of farming honestly.

Austria has good luck. The dream of many German farmers is to become a farmer. These people have become the core of the economic development of the Austrian colony.

However, everyone is sensible, and farming must make money.Barren land is absolutely untouchable, and most of Kalimantan is barren.

Franz frowned slightly: "How do they ensure food production, I remember the survey report seems to say that the land of Lanfang Autonomous Province is barren and has no agricultural development value."

The government of Vienna has sent people to evaluate each colony. What is suitable for development and what is not suitable for development will have detailed information for the colonial government officials to consult.

Lanfang Autonomous Province is no exception. Since the flag of Austria is inserted, these basic tasks are still indispensable.

After meditating for a while, Stephen replied: "Bird dung, Lanfang province uses a lot of bird dung as fertilizer. We have several bird dung islands in the Pacific Ocean, just near the Marshall Islands.

Initially, these islands were not occupied by us. It was after the Lanfang Autonomous Province applied to the government that the colonial ministry was included in the ruling area."

Franz nodded. If nothing unexpected happened, it would be Nauru afterwards.

The number of islands occupied by Austria is not ten thousand. Because of the butterfly effect, the names of many islands have been changed beyond recognition, and Franz is naturally impossible to distinguish.

"Done well, bird manure is also a resource, which is very useful for agricultural production. This is a gift from nature. For long-term development, we need to protect it in advance and develop it reasonably.

The colonial government enacted laws as soon as possible to prohibit anyone from hunting around Guano Island.The development of bird droppings must also choose the right season, which cannot affect the survival of birds.

You can do a little more work in this area, and you can make more circles on the unowned islands.Even if there is no value, you can mark it first.

It is time to increase the sea area. According to the current situation, after the international conference is held next year, the division of sphere of influence is likely to include the coastline.

Especially for islands with ports, no matter whether it is useful or not, let's talk about it first."

It is necessary to protect the bird droppings island. If the birds are gone, what kind of bird droppings are sold?

This is the wealth that comes to your door. Reasonable development can be used for many years. Naturally, it cannot be exhausted.

It is necessary to seize the island. In the era of boating and enclosure, it was really fast and slow.

Once the international situation has stabilized and everyone's sphere of influence has been demarcated, this good thing is over.

This is also a good thing for Austria.Once the new international order is established, Alaska ’s gold mines can be mined.

Hidden in this way, Franz could not bear it long ago.However, Alaska is not suitable for human habitation, and even the climate of the canyon area is not good.

This means that it is difficult for Austria to establish a strong foundation on the ground. Perhaps no one dares to rob it on the bright side, but it can't stand people stabbing secretly.

Not to mention, the long border between Alaska and Canada, the Vienna government has no way to wipe out the gold thieves.

After the establishment of the international order, it will be different. Everyone signed a treaty and agreed not to stab each other, but no matter what, it should be a little more convergent.

If the contract was breached just after a promise was made, would you like to mix it up internationally?

Although Alaska ’s gold mines are rich, they are not developed in a day or two. The part that can be developed now is not enough to make John Bull lose credibility.

Of course, the most important thing is that Austria is not weak and can revenge.

Once the Vienna government gave up the bottom line, specifically to trouble John Bull, not to mention shaking their colonial system, it was still necessary to increase the cost of ruling by millions of pounds every year.

With current technology, it is unknown whether the gold mines in Alaska will be profitable by several million pounds per year.

John Bull may do things that harm others, but the London government will think twice about things that harm others.

Colonial Minister Stephen: "Yes, Your Majesty. The Colonial Department will strive to include as many unowned islands as possible before the end of the Paris Conference."
