The first two five-year development plans were more like preparing the groundwork for Spain, and the upcoming development plan is the key to Spain's complete takeoff.
Therefore, Carlo put forward the requirements for the third five-year development plan during the meeting, specifically mentioning factors such as railroad mileage, total industrial scale, heavy industry, military industry, and agricultural production.
In the first two five-year development plans, Spain's economic development was quite rapid. A significant reason for this was Spain's emphasis on railroad development.
The benefits of building railroads are self-evident, and the nationwide large-scale railroad construction allowed Spain's industry and economy to grow synchronously.
Originally, when Prime Minister Prim proposed the second five-year development plan, the goal was to increase Spain's total railroad mileage to over 11,000 kilometers by 1879.
