With Carlo's full support, Prim was brimming with confidence and stayed up late that night to revise his reform plan.
Since the capitalists and the Church are destined to be the enemies of the Spanish Government, there was no need to consider their opinions during the reforms.
On January 3, 1870, the Spanish Government applied to the parliament for extra military expenditure, which was successively approved by both the parliament and Carlo.
At that time, Prim still controlled the majority of seats in the parliament, so such processes were just mere formalities.
With this extra military funding, Prim immediately dispatched a diplomatic team to purchase weapons and cannons abroad.
In Prim's plan, the Krupp cannons, which had been tested in both the Austro-Prussian War and the Franco-Prussian War, were the top choice for the Spanish Army.
However, considering that Prussia was embroiled in a war with France, Prim had a backup plan, which was Austria-Hungary or Italy.
