Returning to Madrid, Carlo couldn't wait to hand over the more than 100 Vitali Rifles purchased from Italy to the Royal Military Factory for imitation and to fully understand their principles.
No matter how successful the reforms and development are, military strength is the ultimate standard to measure a nation's power.
Currently, Spain is not well-suited for naval development, so the focus can only be on the development of the army, aiming to have an army among the best in Europe.
Due to Spain's population being far smaller compared to the European Powers, emphasis must be placed on the advancement of weaponry.
If Spain can be the first to equip its army with advanced rifles and machine guns on a large scale, then at least in terms of quality, Spain's army would not be inferior to any other nation.
By solidifying the Spanish Army's strength through several campaigns, Carlo and the Spanish Government would have more confidence in diplomatic activities.
