In just a month after the outbreak of war between Germany, Austria, and Russia, Spain sold over 20,000 rifles and 100 cannons to Austria-Hungary, which was incredibly good news for Spain's military industry.
Although this massive arms trade resulted from Austria-Hungary's large-scale military expansion and the resulting weaponry gap, as the war progresses, and with the consumption of strategic materials stockpiled in Austria-Hungary, the purchases from Spain are only expected to increase.
Thanks to this major client, Austria-Hungary, Spain's armament factories have no shortage of orders for months to come, effectively boosting the growth of Spain's military industry.
While the military industry is thriving due to the war, for Carlo, the good news from the military industry is not as significant at this moment.
The reason is simple: after several years of strenuous construction, Spain has finally made some progress in the development of its African colonies.
