9%, a literacy rate close to 10%.
This literacy rate was still acceptable to Tang Ning, and it did not fall below his psychological limit.
In this era of the world, the only countries with a literacy rate of over 80% are Germany and Japan.
Other countries such as the UK, France, and the United States only have 40% to 80%.
Especially for weak powers such as Italy, Austria-Hungary, and Spain, the ratio hovers around 20%, or even below 20%.
Luxembourg, the country that Downing was destined to rule in the future, had a good education.
This small country has a very high per capita education, with a population of tens of thousands, and a literacy rate of over 90%. In addition to the German dialect Luxembourgish, the proportion of people who are proficient in German, French, Dutch and English is quite high.
However, Portugal is worse. The literacy rate is 12%. If you do not include Braganza under the rule of the Miguel Braganza family, it will directly drop to 8%.
It can be said that Portugal, a terrible country, has a low literacy rate compared to Brazil, which has many ethnic groups and is known as the melting pot of nations.
In the future, Portugal got rid of chaos and developed, becoming a developed country. But in addition to per capita, Brazil's comprehensive strength surpasses Portugal and is one of the top ten countries in the world.
Is this why?
The reason why Tangning came to Brazil.
Portugal is a small and weak country with a population of more than 5 million. Luxembourg is a small country with a population of less than 100,000. Even if the population of some colonies is included, the population is about 23 million.
Portugal, plus its colonies, looks good and has considerable development potential, but can Tangning take it seriously?
Those colonies are ten times larger than the Portuguese mainland, but will those areas be yours once they are developed?
Take a look at Zimbabwe and South Africa. Tangning was so confused that she regarded these as local developments.
This era is different from the past. The British Empire did not dare to use massacre on a large scale in the Boer War.
During the Boer War, in order to frighten the Boers, the British carried out several small-scale attacks, directly forcing themselves into the spotlight of public opinion and making it difficult for them to step down.
You, the most powerful country in the world, do this?
British gentleman?
That's it?
Although Brazil is known as a melting pot of nations, Latin and Portuguese are the absolute mainstream. The government is terrible, but its ability to assimilate is still good.
Although Brazil has been complained about as an adobe among the BRIC countries, it is still a decent big country in the future, and its ethnic issues are not serious. It is in the sky and under the ground with the American ethnic issues.
But in other ways?
In other respects, it’s very disappointing!
It is precisely because of this that although Brazil is a big country, it is definitely not a powerful country.
"You said that Italian, Japanese, German and other ethnic groups have their own ethnic schools?"
Tangning was so keen, what did she catch?
If Tang Ning remembers correctly, the three Brazilian states south of Sao Paulo established their own country during the Kingdom of Brazil, and they also fought for independence in later generations.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Francisco said with some emotion when he thought about the Germans and the Brazilian government.
“The Italians didn’t build many schools, but the Japanese and the Germans built a lot of schools.
In the state of Sao Paulo, there are not many of these people, and they are still dominated by us Portuguese-Brazilians. The situation in the three states in the south is quite bad.
Especially the Germans, who are basically the dominant ethnic group in the two southern states, Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina, and a large number of Italians are vassalized by them.
Our state of Sao Paulo and our southern neighboring state of Paraná now have more and more Germans.
They rebelled once during the Kingdom of Brazil and were severely suppressed by King Pedro. They never dared to be too arrogant again.
In order to take revenge on the king, these people overthrew our Braganza dynasty in the first place, and those who rebelled and colluded also worked hard.
Although the current Brazilian government wants to control them, the government keeps changing and there is no spare effort.
If it were not for the help of Britain, Britain was very afraid of the Germans, and these people would probably rebel again. "
“Since the reunification, the Germans have become more and more confident.
These bad people who could not survive in the country and fled to Brazil, if we had not taken them in, who knows where they would have died? "
The Germans were always annoying, and Tang Ning was very disgusted with them.
Luxembourg is often infiltrated by them, who want to tie Luxembourg to the German chariot and play the national card.
Guillaume IV was disgusted with them, especially the pro-German faction in the country, which he believed was the hand of the devil that pushed Luxembourg into the abyss.
Luxembourg is a small country. Although it used to be part of the Holy Roman Empire, does it matter?
Northern France, northern Italy, the Netherlands, and Belgium were all once part of Holy Rome. They have become independent. Do you have a sense of identity?
Although these places are indeed the German nation, these German nations have long been localized and different from the original ones.
Britain is also Germany, Germany, why don't you touch them?
Luxembourg's independence from the Netherlands is none of your business, so just bully Luxembourg and try its best to infiltrate it.
Tangning understood her father-in-law, Guillaume IV, and believed that Luxembourg should side with Belgium and the Netherlands. The three Low Countries were one family, and the Greater Netherlands was not Germany.
At the critical moment, Luxembourg cannot help but support France.
After all, the original suzerain country, the Netherlands, does not share a border with Luxembourg, and the two ethnic groups in neighboring Belgium, the Dutch and the French, cannot play with themselves. How can they dare to touch Luxembourg and add another ethnic group to themselves?
Luxembourg has three neighboring countries. The small country Belgium is its close brother. The French Gauls and the Luxembourgers are not the same nation. The Germans are close to Luxembourg.
Germans play the national card all day long!
Luxembourg is annoyed to death by them. Although the country is small, some people want to join a big country, so there are many pro-German forces in Luxembourg.
Although Tang Ning helped Guillaume IV and wiped out the Republicans, it was difficult for him to take effective action against the Germans.
Luxembourg is too small, rich in iron ore resources, and its steel and other industries are developing well, so the evil Germans have taken a liking to it.
Although Luxembourg and other three low-lying countries have united for warmth and actively moved closer to the United Kingdom, they are too close to Germany, especially Luxembourg, which is the weakest.
Historically, Downing's fiancée Marie Adelaide, who had never been married, was trapped by the German army when they entered World War I.
Grand Duke Marie Adelaide, who only wanted to keep Luxembourg, compromised with Germany and was directly liquidated after the war.
Marie Adelaide abdicated in favor of Charlotte, went directly to a monastery, and lived there for the rest of her life.
Tang Ning didn't have a good impression of the Germans who started the two wars, even the Germany during the EU period.
With the help of the EU, Germany almost completed two wars. The unfinished tasks are essentially the same as the original greedy Germany!
Merkel, who jumps from left to right, changes her position before and after, and deceives ordinary people. Where is the Holy Mother?
Tangning, who studied in Paris, clearly saw the essence of Germany when traveling in Eastern Europe.
In World War I, Germany lost. Tang Ning absolutely wanted all the Germans to return and carve up German territory, and Luxembourg would definitely help.
Luxembourg is too small. There are a lot of things on the German territory that were originally from Luxembourg, and they should be returned.
"The state of São Paulo is now under our control. Watch out and don't give the Germans a chance to develop."
Tangning came to Brazil. Her hometown in Sao Paulo state was actually a German nest next door. She was in a very bad mood.
“I remember that in the three southern states, the proportion of Italians is not low!
Ronaldo, what is the approximate proportion of each ethnic group in the three southern states of Brazil? We must be wary of the Germans. "
"Your Highness, I have no information."
After Ronaldo said this, he saw Tangning frowning and knew that he was dissatisfied with the family's ability to act in Brazil, so he quickly made amends.
"However, I have been there and can have a rough idea.
In the states of Ogrande and Santa Catarina, Germans should account for 45%, Italians 20%, Portuguese and mixed descendants 30%, and Hispanics 5%.
In Paraná, the population should be 35% German, 25% Italian, and 40% Portuguese and mixed-race. "
"Oh, there aren't many Germans, either? Not more than 50%, but the Italians are dependent on them, right?"
Tangning thought about the ethnic data and saw that the Italian ethnic group had such a large population, and she probably had an idea in her mind.
"You are right, Your Highness!"
Ronaldo recalled the situation in the three southern states and expressed his views.
“In the three southern states, Germans are the richest, and Italians are very dependent on them.
The Germans discriminated against the Portuguese and Spanish, but were also willing to use Italians. Farms and factories liked to use them as labor.
However, there are also wealthy Italians, and not all of them are vassals of the Germans. "
This is so Italian!
Whoever is strong will depend on him, and will he be just a wallflower?
Deal with wallflowers.
Tang Ning had at least nine ways to deal with them.
I hope Italians can understand whose Brazil is Brazil?
If you know the truth, you are still our Latin brother. If you don't, don't blame me for using thunderbolt tactics.
In the three southern states of Brazil, as long as the Italians are held back, they will be fine. The Germans are just lambs to be slaughtered.
The three southern states were not worried. They boiled the frog in warm water first. When World War I broke out, Tangning would learn from the Americans.
In World War I, the United States actually sided with Britain from the beginning. As the war progressed, the Americans completely sided with the Allies.
In the domestic political landscape of the United States, although the Anglo-Saxons were the majority before World War I, there were too many other ethnic groups in the United States, so they actively attracted Germans.
However, as time goes by, the political share of Germans is getting larger and larger, and there is a tendency to threaten the Angsa people.
The shrewd Angsa people pushed the country to join World War I and immediately purged Germans in the name of patriotism.
A set of punches that had been planned long ago were directed at the Germans, inciting all ethnic groups to hate them, closing all media where Germans could make their voices heard and schools that cultivate national character, and attacking their businesses.
From the inside out, they began to attack the Germans. Without the support of their mother country, the Germans fell to their knees completely.
Later, when World War II broke out, the German-American soldiers had great military exploits and even provided a Rhenish camp for the defeated German soldiers.
Tang Ning actually hates the Angsa people, but their methods are really powerful.
The excellent operations of the Anglo-Saxons can be learned with humility. Facing the Germans in Brazil who are proud of the German Empire, Tangning will definitely take action.
During the surgery, Tangning decided to respect the originality. Once the United States took action, Brazil followed up humbly.
Oh, by the way, there are so many little Japanese in Brazil, how about hundreds of thousands?
Although the Japanese do not dominate the overall population in Brazil, and later generations have also integrated into Brazil, it is different now, and they still have a strong national character.
It seems that Your Highness Tangning needs to strike hard at the Japanese!
