To maintain stability across the globally spread colonies, a strong navy is essential.
The good news is, after the merger with the shipyard from the United Kingdom, the Royal Guanizuo Shipyard has gained the capability to produce Rejuvenation-class Ironclads.
The shipyard's dock has been expanded under Carlo's orders, making the construction of ironclads under ten thousand tons a breeze.
If it weren't for the government's insufficient finances to support the simultaneous construction of several ironclads, perhaps the shipyard would witness the grand scene of multiple ironclads being built simultaneously.
However, given Spain's current pace of industrial and economic development, such a scene may not be too far off.
When Spain's second five-year development plan is successfully completed, it might be the time for Spain to expand its navy on a large scale, announce its return to the ranks of powerful nations, and compete for international discourse rights.
