Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

"No, if these countries obtain such powerful weapons, then our security environment will definitely become very dangerous, and our citizens will definitely panic because of this, because we should prevent them from obtaining such weapons. OK, especially Mexico, we absolutely cannot let them obtain this weapon."

Taft had a deep pale look on his face. It would be better if these weapons really fell into Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, Colombia and other countries. After all, these countries are relatively far away from the United States. Due to the distance, it would be better. , they cannot threaten Rose, but the thousands of kilometers of border between Mexico and the United States makes it difficult for the United States to accept being threatened by Mexico.

See Jacob next to you? m? Dickinson didn't speak there, feeling a little dissatisfied. He didn't vent it out in person, but he didn't say in a good tone: "Jacob, we can't just take taxpayers' money and not bring it to them." A safe living environment and the protection of their property, so as the Minister of War, let’s talk about your military’s response attitude.”

Of course Jacob heard the dissatisfaction in the tone of the current President, but can he blame himself? The annual military expenditure is so low. Now that the Spanish military expenditure and the British military expenditure are both very high every year, The team of military technical talents in researching equipment is even larger. As for the United States, not to mention low military expenditures, the combined navy and army only have a few hundred thousand people. These are terrifyingly few in the first place. In addition, there are many military personnel now. Technical talents have been poached by major companies to get high salaries. Who will stay in the military and get those meager salaries every year? In such a mess, as the Minister of War, I am really a bit useless.

"President, I think it's time for us to make reforms, as the major American newspapers have said."[

"How to reform? You should come up with a charter." Seeing that the other party did not deceive him, Taft let go of his unhappiness and asked with a frown.

"I think it's time for us to improve our military technical talents. Although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit that our United States is far behind other countries in terms of military research, and there is still a gap in ships. It can be said that we can keep pace with Spain, but in terms of firearms and other firepower and this aircraft, our talent pool is not so wide. The reason is that we are too short of talent."

"This is true. At the same time, it also reminds me of something." Among the four, Finance Minister Franklin? Maxion suddenly said at this time.

Several other people were surprised by what Mike Xiong said, because this guy usually hit the point right away when he spoke. This time, since he spoke, he must be able to point out some key points, so Tower Futu couldn't help but ask: "What did you think of?"

The U.S. Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary of War are not members of Ferlander's State Department Cabinet. They are directly nominated by the president, so their status is similar to that of the Secretary of State. Just look at why the United States is conducting government 22 talks with other countries in the future. You already know why it was the Secretary of State and the Secretary of the Treasury, while the leader of the country refers to the President, Vice President and the President of the Supreme Court of the United States.

"I have read a lot of information from the Ministry of Finance on talent issues, and finally I discovered a serious issue that has to be of great concern to us, that is, in the past decade or so, whenever major domestic companies in Europe have When poaching talents, many times these famous talents have already been poached by companies from other countries.”

"This is normal. After all, whatever companies are poaching can be poached by others." When Jacob heard this, he really didn't feel any difference.

However, at this time, Felander raised his eyebrows, looked at him, and asked: "You mean, someone is digging for talents on a large scale?"

"Nice" Franklin? Maxion nodded, "At first I had the same idea as Jacob said, but I slowly changed because it was hard to imagine how a company could poach people on such a large scale, so I conducted an in-depth investigation and found out that all of these talents had been visited by a headhunting company called Colson, and all of them were offered salaries that were much higher than the market and could be equipped with better and better equipment. It gave them a high stage to display their talents, so most of them were impressed."

"Headhunting company?" Taft didn't know what it meant except Jacob.

Because he was concerned about state affairs, especially dealing with major domestic companies, Ferrand understood what it meant. Seeing that the two of them didn't understand, he explained: "It refers to specifically hunting for talents, that is, It means discovering, tracking, evaluating and selecting high-level talents. Headhunting companies are intermediary organizations that survive and make profits by hunting all kinds of high-level talents needed by society. Different from talent exchange centers, headhunting companies adopt the active competition of covert hunting and quick attack. In this way, we can find high-level talents that are not available in the company's talent market for customers who need high-level talents.

This name mainly comes from Spain. The earliest headhunting company in the world was Colson Headhunting Company established in Madrid, Spain in 1902.

The prey targets of headhunting companies are senior management talents. Generally speaking, they mainly include president, vice president, general manager, deputy general manager, personnel director, personnel manager, financial manager, marketing director, marketing manager, marketing manager, product manager, Technical directors, technical managers, factory directors, production managers, senior project managers, senior engineers, postdoctoral fellows, Ph.D.s, senior business administration talents, other senior consultants and other managers and above. "

"This is very similar to the talent market in our current society," Taft asked.

"No, it's different. The talent market was also established in Spain in 1898. It is a form of employment that spread from Spain and became popular around the world. However, since there is a talent market, if it is the same, why Spain will come up with such a thing again, precisely because of different reasons. The services of the talent market are "blue-collar" talents, that is, talents for basic things and micro-regional talents; while the former is what customers want, and the latter is The reader just sits back and waits, choosing whatever comes.

And headhunting companies are very different from these simple talent markets. Headhunting companies do not charge individuals. Whoever needs to charge whom in the talent market charges individuals. If an individual is looking for a job, he or she will be charged. If an enterprise is looking for people, it will be charged to the enterprise. The level of work is relatively low.

Headhunting companies charge companies directly. If you charge individuals, it is definitely not headhunting, but a talent market model. Headhunting companies provide enterprises with consulting services such as talent evaluation, investigation, and communication assistance; the talent market is often very simple to match. Headhunting fees are high, while talent market fees are often lower. Headhunting is mainly about actively looking for talents, while the latter is more about matching existing resources.

In addition, the talent market serves more ordinary people looking for jobs, while headhunting companies serve more talented people with strong abilities and good professional ethics. As a person, you should have a sense of responsibility to society. They may have more opportunities and better personal development. "

"McCharson, are you saying that many talents in Europe and the world have been hunted by the Colson headhunting company in Spain?" Taft's face was very solemn. Of course he knew this issue very well. It's serious. [

After the second industrial revolution, major capitalism entered the imperialist stage, the imbalance of economic and political development became more and more severe, and the balance of power among the major powers saw significant new changes.

Starting from the mid-19th century, the British took the lead in completing industrial revolution and became the world's factory. In order of industrial strength, Britain, France, the United States, and Germany were ranked. Spain had to stand aside due to the civil war at that time.

By the end of the 19th century, the United States began to vigorously introduce advanced European science and technology, vigorously develop its own domestic emerging industrial sectors, and then quickly caught up with the United Kingdom, ranking first in the world's industrial production. Another emerging industrial power, the German Empire, also surpassed France and the United Kingdom and ranked second in the world's industrial production due to the country's continued innovation.

Spain began to lay the foundation during the reign of Alfonso XII, and then began to vigorously learn from the German Empire and the United States to attach great importance to technology during the reign of Alfonso XIII. Therefore, it has become the fourth industrial power in the world. .

The current uneven development of capitalist politics is mainly manifested in two aspects. The first is that major capitalist countries enter the capitalist stage in different ways, with different levels and characteristics.

The four countries of Britain, France, the United States, and Spain belong to the same type. They established the capitalist system through bourgeois revolution. The bourgeois revolution more thoroughly cleared away the obstacles to capitalist development, so the four countries eventually established a comparative system. A perfect bourgeois democratic system.

In addition, Russia, Japan and Germany belong to another type. They embarked on the road of capitalism through top-down reforms or dynastic wars, so they retained a large number of feudal remnants, and their politics were quite strong in authoritarianism and militarism.

The major capitalist countries held different numbers of colonies. Britain, France and Spain are old colonial countries and occupy the most colonies, especially the United Kingdom, which has mastered the world's colonial hegemony. However, countries such as Germany and Japan are emerging capitalist countries and occupy fewer colonies.

The imbalance of capitalist economic and political development, especially the imbalance of economic development, has changed the balance of power between imperialist countries and will inevitably create new contradictions between them, and the intensification of contradictions often leads to war. Therefore, there are many contradictions among the world's powerful countries. The root cause lies in the imbalance of capitalist economic and political development.

Talents with advanced technologies are the most important resource that the United States relies on to improve the country. Now, has Spain actually started to stifle the progress of other countries without making any noise?

"No, we absolutely cannot continue like this. We should change this situation that is not good for us. I understand what the Department of War means. I will ask Congress to pass a proposal to increase military spending in the next time. No wonder , Spain has developed so fast. It turns out that talent really determines everything about future social progress."

One more update.
