How could the soldiers, who enlisted in the army, not be grateful to Carlo with such an income?
After all, their ability to earn such a high income is inseparable from Carlo's many efforts.
During the more than ten years since Carlo was crowned King of Spain, the income of Spanish Army soldiers has increased three times in varying degrees.
It was precisely these three pay raises for soldiers that made becoming a soldier one of the most coveted professions for all Spaniards, and it is also why Spaniards actively register to join the army during recruitment.
The annual enrollment numbers and application figures from Spain's military academy also reflect how popular military schools are.
In 1885 alone, the total number of applicants to Spain's military academy exceeded 2,000. All these applicants initially met the academy's admission standards, as those who did not meet the standards were not even qualified to apply.
