Paris France.
“Venezuela!
What country is this and why don’t I recognize it? I need to look at the map. "
Later, Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau, known as the Tiger of France and the Father of Victory, was a little confused when he saw an unknown small country asking for help.
Faced with the Prime Minister's confusion, the Foreign Secretary found Venezuela on a map for Georges Clemenceau and briefly introduced the country to him.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, Venezuela is the first country established by Bolivar, the liberator of the Americas, after he liberated the Spanish colonies."
Unlike the great Europeanist Georges Clemenceau, the Foreign Secretary has a broad vision. After all, he is responsible for diplomacy. He can still understand some small countries that are unknown to many Europeans.
Just like Venezuela!
"Oh, here it is!"
Georges Clemenceau discovered Venezuela on the recommendation of the Foreign Secretary.
“It turns out that Venezuela is located north of Brazil, on the southern coast of the Caribbean!
What Brazil wants to attack is such a place. The place Brazil wants to claim to occupy is more than half of this country's territory.
No wonder our powerful France is asked to deliver justice. "
After looking at the map, Georges Clemenceau quickly understood why Venezuela was asking for help. Brazil wanted to occupy half of their country, and of course it asked for help from France.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, Venezuela is begging us and is willing to provide a lot of benefits, just to prevent Brazil from starting a war."
"How big can an unknown country's interests be? Is it as big as Brazil?"
After seeing Venezuela, Georges Clemenceau quickly lost interest and was not prepared to help this unknown country.
“Brazil is the largest country in South America and the second most powerful country in the Americas after the United States.
What benefits can a small Venezuela bring us? Can they match Brazil? Can Brazil be important to us?
Such a small country was destroyed by Brazil, and I didn't even bother to look at it. "
What is Brazil?
What is Venezuela?
It is not of the same size at all. Venezuela is not worthy of being compared with Brazil, and its importance to France is pitifully small.
Since the establishment of the Kingdom of Brazil, it has been working hard to revive and develop industry and commerce on a large scale. This is great for Europe and France.
“Pedro III of Brazil is a wise king. He is now vigorously developing Brazil’s industry and commerce and wants to become the most powerful country in South America. This is very worthy of praise.
Brazil has the iron ore we need, exports a large amount of agricultural products to us, and spends huge sums of money to purchase technology from France, which has brought a lot of benefits to France, which is comparable to Venezuela.
What can Venezuela bring to us? Can the benefits exceed 2 billion francs? This country is not worth even ten francs, and does not deserve attention and help. "
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister is right, and I also believe that Venezuela should not be supported."
The Kingdom of Brazil now provides France with a large number of benefits. If Brazil is offended, these benefits will be given to Germany.
Pedro III was very dissatisfied with Germany's cautious attitude towards supporting Brazilian industrial technology. This brought great opportunities to France.
The king of Brazil is a German aristocrat and is naturally pro-German. However, Germany prides itself on being a second world power. Sometimes it is unclear and it adopts a arrogant attitude to gain more benefits.
Germany itself cannot figure it out, but France is very clear that it wants to win over Brazil, give it what it wants, and reduce Germany's support.
Brazil is in South America, far away from Europe. The only relationship between France and Brazil is some disputes and conflicts in Guyana.
But France knows very well what it needs?
French Guiana is a small tropical rainforest area that is not as important as Brazil. The French government recently planned to sell it to Brazil at a low price to gain more favor from Brazil.
Germany is a little arrogant, but it gives France a great opportunity.
Brazil's push for industrialization requires technology, while France's capital explosion also requires exports. It's a perfect match.
Now French capital is pouring into Brazil in large quantities, bringing industrial technology to Brazil. The current King of Brazil, Pedro III, approves of France very much. He is getting closer to France and gradually alienating Germany.
The Germans are regretting it now, but the French government is extremely happy!
“Ask the Brazilian government, do you need help?
We now need to have a good relationship with Brazil. Venezuela is a good gift. We in France must clearly express our support for Brazil and never let the Brazilians feel cold.
France is a friend of Brazil and cannot and should not let Brazil down. "
Venezuela is a country with no value at all. Its current value to France is as a gift to Brazil.
"Mr. Minister, like Brazil, France shows our goodwill. France supports Brazil's annexation of Venezuela and is willing to actively provide help."
Georges Clemenceau, who is known as a realist, certainly knows the optimal solution, and Brazil is strong, which is a good thing for France and Europe.
Georges Clemenceau, whose representative works in the future are "Social Chaos" and "American Reconstruction", was still very wary of the United States.
The dominance of the United States in the Americas is definitely not a good thing for Europe. If Brazil becomes stronger, two powerful countries will emerge in the Americas, which is a huge good thing for Europe.
The only country in the Americas that has capital and foundation that can compare with the United States is Brazil, which has an area of more than 8 million square meters and a population of 30 million.
In other American regions, Mexico is okay, with a population of more than 10 million, but this country has long been ruined by the United States.
Two-thirds of the territory in the western United States was given by Mexico. The Americans are so powerful because of this waste.
Counting on Mexico is worse than counting on cows climbing trees.
"Brazil, if it swallows Venezuela, will be separated from the United States by the Caribbean Sea, and the two countries will definitely compete. This is the best thing for us in Europe."
Berlin, Germany.
"Venezuela, what is this? Brazil wants to beat him, give me your full support."
No one was interested in looking at the map and looking for this country. William III decisively supported Brazil without even thinking about it.
William III now attaches great importance to Brazil. He was a little arrogant before and allowed France to gain Italy. Now he regrets it to death.
In the beginning, he should not have been pretentious in front of Brazil, which made Pedro III and the Braganza family very dissatisfied.
Germany actually needs the Brazilian market and its resources, especially iron ore.
Brazil is thousands of miles away from Germany, and the royal family is a German noble. There is no conflict at all. They should have cooperated well, but they are suffering from arrogance.
This mistake directly made France a lot of money, and also gained the friendship of Pedro III.
Now the French were blowing the wind in front of Pedro III, blowing so enthusiastically that he gradually moved away from Germany.
The Brazilian cabinet, formerly a powerful German faction, is now very unpopular except for the Minister of Employment and Welfare.
Now Germany urgently needs to restore friendship with Brazil.
At this time, Venezuela came forward and asked Germany to intervene to beat Brazil, and also expressed its willingness to send benefits to Germany.
“Venezuela, a country that came out of nowhere, is worthy of provoking conflicts between Brazil and us. It is really desperate.
Give me a diplomatic message that Germany fully supports all Brazil's claims.
It was made clear in the announcement that any country in the world that opposes Brazil's demands and dares to help Venezuela is working against us, Germany. "
Venezuela, what the hell?
William II had never heard of this country, a small and unknown country worthy of comparison with Brazil.
Isn’t this harming the German Empire?
If it really intervenes, Brazil will completely fall to France.
Washington, USA.
“Mr. President, Europe, Britain, France, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy and others, support Brazil’s war against Venezuela.
Germany and France even accused Venezuela of unreasonably provoking Brazil, and even said savagely and unreasonably that historically, all Venezuelan territory legally belonged to Brazil. "
Secretary of State Robert Bacon told the current Theodore Roosevelt the attitudes of various countries.
The world's great powers, all European powers, and Japan in Asia, all unequivocally support Brazil, while Venezuela is completely isolated.
Theodore Roosevelt, the old Roosevelt in history, one of the most accomplished presidents in the United States and a Republican leader, of course broke with the Republican Party after he stepped down.
Franklin Roosevelt, who later became famous, was his nephew.
“Since major countries in the world support Brazil, we in the United States should also support it.
South America has always been Europe's sphere of influence. Previously, we split Colombia and made Panama independent, which has touched some of the bottom lines of European powers. Now we cannot act rashly. "
Franklin Roosevelt was about to leave office in more than a month, and his replacement was also a Republican named William Howard Taft.
William Howard Taft was also an extraordinary person. He later became the only politician in the United States who served as both president and chief justice, a true Republican leader.
“Robert, watch some people and don’t let them act rashly.
The United States must not have any contact or help with Venezuela, otherwise the European powers will become a hot topic, and we cannot be targeted. "
