Night, study room of João Palace.

During the day, Tangning and her sister Helen spent a lot of time with their mother, Anna, and visited the city under their father's rule.

At night, the family gathered together. Finally, after the family had a warm meal, Francisco and Tangning and his son had a real private time to talk.

"Father, how about the last time I telegraphed to you, asking you to contact Isabella, the head of the Brazilian royal family?"

At this time, Tangning's eyes were filled with hope and she was very unstable. She asked her father Francisco urgently, anxiously wanting to know the answer.

"Aunt Isabel, do you agree that I will inherit the Brazilian royal family? Let me be the king of Brazil."

"I didn't expect that my son would be so anxious."

Francisco, who had been watching Tangning grow up, knew that his son was a proud and arrogant person.

He had never seen his son pay so much attention to one thing and asked him to accomplish it, which made him very motivated.

When Tang Ning finally asked him to do something, Francis, as his father, had to do it well.

"My sister Isabella is very easy to communicate with without any cost.

She knows that she cannot regain Brazil, and is willing to teach this hope to you, a descendant of her own race, and very much hopes that you will be blessed by God, create miracles, and regain the Kingdom of Brazil. "

ah!

Did it go so smoothly? Tangning thought there would be some twists and turns.

"Aunt Isabella, do you think so highly of me?" Tang Lin asked in shock.

"Yes, my sister Isabella values ​​you, a junior in the family, very much.

After all, he, the old princess, is the only one left in the entire Brazilian royal family. He has no chance of restoring the glory of the Braganza family in Brazil.

Tangning, your intelligence and talents have long been spread throughout the aristocratic circles, and your Aunt Isabella has also heard about it.

Therefore, after a short consideration, she did not refuse to hand over the Brazilian royal family to you. You are so talented, maybe you can really regain the Brazilian kingdom of Braganza.

Although the hope is small, Isabella is still looking forward to your growth and hopes you will bring miracles!

She wants you to be safe, and it's okay if you can't. "

After hearing her father convey the expectations of Aunt Isabella, the head of the Brazilian royal family, to him, Tangning took a deep breath and made an extremely serious promise that was bound to be difficult to complete.

"I, Tangning, will not let down Aunt Isabella's hope, and I will do my best to regain the Kingdom of Brazil!"

After Tangning came to this world, she gradually changed. Especially stimulated by her father's changes, her desire for power gradually emerged.

Before coming to Europe, the family lived a happy life. Tangning was not a naturally ambitious person and was content with the warmth of the family.

However, after coming to Europe, under the influence of the surrounding political environment, and seeing the changes made by her father as he took on the responsibilities of the family, Tangning also changed.

Although at first Tang Ning still wrote novels, kept company with beauties, occasionally participated in business, and lived a very free and unrestrained life, people will eventually change.

Seeing her father's changes and her father-in-law always worrying about the fate of the country, Tang Ning also began to be motivated.

Tang Ning was born at the starting line of most people, especially with the knowledge and vision of the great era. She used her talents to help her father at a young age, and her family became richer, and she was content with the status quo for a long time.

However, since his engagement to Marie, he saw Luxembourg carefully maintaining neutrality. His father-in-law, Guillaume IV, had been worried about the outbreak of war between Germany and France and would affect the country.

In addition, after witnessing his father's changes and his courage to shoulder family responsibilities, Tang Lin also began to be affected.

When you come to this world, you cannot be happy alone after all.

Looking at her father and father-in-law, Tangning quickly came up with her own goals in life, which were to inherit and restore her family's honor and her ambition to build a big and powerful country.

Since he had an ideal, Tang Ning was not satisfied with just inheriting his father-in-law's and his father's property safely, and he gradually had his own plans.

Whether it is Luxembourg or Portugal, they are small and weak countries after all. No matter how well they develop, the ceiling is within sight.

Luxembourg, to put it bluntly, is a country with a big nose. It has a population of less than 100,000. No matter how well developed it is, what's the use?

Portugal is a small country in the Iberian Peninsula. Although it has many colonies, its territory and population are too limited. It is almost impossible to develop into a powerful country.

Portugal, located on the Iberian Peninsula, is particularly weak against the backdrop of Spain next door.

Spain is at least five times larger than Portugal and has more than four times the population. The two countries have countless grievances and grievances.

Historically, Portugal has always been weak in the face of Spain, and was even annexed for a time. Even the glorious Suebi Kingdom was destroyed by the Spanish Visigothic Kingdom.

After five hundred years of separation, the national consciousness of Spain and Portugal has long been separated. It is difficult to complete the union, let alone reintegrate them into one nation.

In this Europe, which is full of dangers and full of big powers, even if Portugal and Spain temporarily merge, it is almost impossible to persist on the continent.

After Tangning thought about it, only Brazil could satisfy his ambitions and support his dream of becoming a powerful country.

Although it is definitely not easy to obtain the actual rule of Brazil, as long as the right to claim is obtained, Tang Ning believes that through careful planning and taking advantage of the trend of the times, it is not impossible to succeed.

Brazil expelled the Braganza dynasty of Perode II and became a republic. It didn't get better, it just got worse!

The king was driven away, and the people thought things would get better. In fact, on the contrary, they became increasingly disappointed with the government.

There has been rapid regime change, military dictatorships from time to time, and a weak and incompetent civilian government. There is no stable political power. The upper class is corrupt, corruption is rampant, and people live in poverty.

Although Brazil, Argentina, and Chile are known as the three pillars of South America and the three powerful countries of ABC, they are only as broken as Tucson.

Brazil has wasted the foundation of a big country. They have lowered the ceiling so low. They have reached this level. Look at how the United States of America rubs against Mexico. What is there to be proud of?

“Son, I don’t understand why you want the inheritance rights of the Brazilian royal family.

At first, I thought you wanted to get addicted to the king, give yourself the title in the future, and add a strong claim of king after it. It is quite powerful to say it like this.

However, looking at the way you vowed just now, I didn't expect that you really want to regain the Kingdom of Brazil. "

Francisco didn't expect that his son Tangning, who had always been lazy, leisurely and living a carefree life, would change so much and even want to restore the Kingdom of Brazil.

Damn it!

Is this how dad sees himself?

"Father, is this how you look at me? You don't know my talents yet, how can you look down on me like this?"

"No, it's not.

Tangning, of course I know about your intelligence and talent, but restoring the country in the American continent is no joke. It is not only difficult, but also life-threatening. "

Francisco had never looked down on his son. Tangning's performance since childhood would only amaze him and never let him down.

However, some things don’t just require hard work.

Recovering Brazil, in Francisco's view, is completely impossible.

Take Portugal for example.

Francisco wanted to regain the rule of the Miguel Braganza royal family in Portugal. In his opinion, there was still some hope because he was in Europe and the Gotha family of Carlos I was collapsed and unpopular.

In Europe, although the Republican Party is not a small force, the monarchists are stronger.

Take France, for example. If the three French royal families hadn't been at odds with each other, it would have been the Republicans' turn to be in power until now.

After the Franco-Prussian War, the French government was established. The restoration of the monarchy was very powerful from the beginning, but it was only very divided, so it maintained the appearance of a republic.

You can say that?

As long as the three French royal families, the Bourbon family, the Orleans family and the Napoleon family, merge now, it won't take long for the Kingdom of France to be restored.

The situation in Europe is not what it was like after World War I.

Today's European monarchs can accept Portugal's replacement of a royal family, but it is very difficult to accept the emergence of a republic.

The South American continent where Brazil is located is exactly the opposite of Europe.

Regardless of whether it is North America or South America, in more than a dozen countries large and small, the republican forces are strong, and most countries even have no monarchist forces at all.

Historically, there have been kingdoms in Brazil and Mexico. If you add the ridiculous Haiti, there are three kingdoms.

However, the ending of the subjugation of these three countries was more tragic than the last. The Brazilian royal family was relatively good and saved its wealth and life.

The royal families of the kingdoms that existed in Mexico and Haiti are each more miserable than the other. Even if European royal families are invited to go, no one is going now.

Even the royal claims of these two countries are not claimed by a single European noble.

Believe it or not?

As long as there is a stubborn noble who picks up the claim rights of these two countries, he will definitely be annoyed by various assassinations until he dies.

The republican forces in these two countries are very willing to use the head of an ungrateful noble to improve their reputation.
