Japanese expansionism with the spanish empire holding

So here's the scenario:

The carlists win the carlist wars, thus adopting their ultra catholic doctrines and grating more autonomy for the provinces, including Cuba and the Phillipines. By the late 19th century they create the viceroyalty of Cuba and the viceroyalty of Philippines, that are de jure independent states but allied to Spain and with members of the spanish royal house as head of state, a governor general appointed by the carlist crown and a native prime minister

If history goes most as it did OTL, with Germany losing WWI and with the japanese incursions in China still happens, how would a spanish pacific affect the pacific war?
 
With a better managed Spain and her colonies, Spain would technically have more resources than Japan to fund a larger navy.

Considering this would be carlist war POD, Spain could be possibly acquire Borneo by late 19th Century, by finishing off their old enemy Brunei and taking Sarawak plus Sabah. Possible tension with the Dutch too or Spain might take some parts of OTL Indonesia before the Dutch can take it.

If Spain is as well managed as I assume due to your changes, Oil is something that will attract the Spanish for their industry, which is down in Borneo.

But assuming nothing changes with how Spain managed themselves and everything proceeds as OTL, Franco would be Spain's leader by 1940s. Same Franco that Nazi Germany didn't invade.

Franco is either 100% butterflied or turn into a regular army officer, there is no way for him to be the dictator because a Carlist spain pretty much butterflies the SCW
