16:55, Brazil’s government administrative center, Rainbow Palace.
“Your Majesty, European countries support us.
Especially Britain, France, and Germany, the three European powers. Not only does it support Brazil’s war actions and demands, it also recommends that our country annex the entire Venezuela! "
After listening to Foreign Secretary Tony describe the attitude of the European powers, Tang Ning was a little surprised, which was a bit beyond his imagination.
Originally, Tang Ning thought that although Britain, France, and Germany would tacitly support the Brazilian military operation, they would not express their opinions or interfere.
However, things were a bit beyond his expectations, and the support given by the top three European players far exceeded his expectations.
Not only did he publicly express his agreement, he also stated that Venezuela was a product of Spanish cross-border colonization. This country should not have existed, and all legal principles should belong to Brazil, which inherited the Portuguese heritage.
The Three Kingdoms exceeded his support, and Tangning quickly reacted and sensed their deeper attitude.
"European countries really hope that Brazil will become stronger and play a role in balancing the United States in the Americas."
It is now obvious that the European powers support Brazil's expansion and strength, and they openly want to support Brazil to become a great power in the Americas so that it can compete with the United States.
"Tony, what's America's attitude?"
The only obstacle now is the United States.
However, Tang Ning speculated that the United States would stand by and watch Venezuela. After all, South America is not the territory of the United States, and any hand reaching out would be a violation of the border.
"Your Majesty, the United States supports Brazil's demands. This may be the attitude that European powers have to do after they express deterrence."
Sure enough, Tony's words confirmed Tangning's guess.
Tangning said happily: "Okay! The support from all countries around the world is far beyond my imagination. It seems that the plan is about to change."
The situation is great, beyond imagination. The previous plan was too conservative.
Tangning's original plan was just to capture the land west of the Oriloco River and cut off half of Venezuela's territory, but now it seems that she was too cautious.
Nowadays, the great powers that control the world order stand on the side of Brazil, which is equivalent to the blatant support of the referee of the football match. This is not a dead blow, so what are you waiting for?
There is nothing to hesitate about, Brazil can do it boldly and confidently.
"Fernandez, have you seen the attitudes of Britain, France and Germany?
The Brazilian army moves forward boldly without fear of arms and legs. It marches into Caracas, the capital of Venezuela. I want to control the entire Venezuela. "
Tangning pointed at Caracas and ordered to the Minister of Defense beside him.
Fernandez, immediately responded.
"Yes, Your Majesty.
I will abandon the original military action plan of gradual occupation and change it to attack Caracas with both navy and land forces to quickly control Venezuela. "
"Very good, let Kaka and the others move quickly. I hope to resolve it within two days and let the Brazilian people see the power of our army."
Tangning's request was simple and direct.
This battle must be fought quickly, with the effect of a blitzkrieg, to give the Brazilian people a shot of blood, and at the same time to shock Argentina.
“Also, there are troops stationed on the border between Brazil and Argentina, so I need to be more vigilant.
If Argentina makes any changes and dares to cross the line, I will fight back hard and destroy any little ideas they have. "
As for Argentina, Tang Ning had never taken a fancy to them, so the Republican government regarded them as its opponents. What was there to fear about such noobs?
As long as Argentina dares to cross the line, it will beheaded.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Tangning encouraged Fernandez and said: "Go and take action, fight hard, and show the majesty of Brazil."
After Fernandez left, Tangning looked at the map of Venezuela, thought for a while, and then made his final verdict on Venezuela.
"Neto, ask Luis, the minister in Venezuela, to contact the dictator Juan. I have something to pass on to him."
Neto quickly picked up a pen and notebook, ready to record the message from His Majesty Pedro III.
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"Tell Juan that the world's powers are now on Brazil's side and ask him to understand the current situation.
Venezuela had better not resist Brazil and be prepared to surrender. If the resistance causes casualties to the Brazilian army, don't blame me for the liquidation.
What are Venezuelan Caudillos? I think he knows it himself. He is one of them and should be able to understand the weight of Venezuela.
There is no doubt that Brazil wants to rule Venezuela, and this message was clearly conveyed to him.
However, Brazil will not occupy all of Venezuela and will establish a protectorate.
The territory of this protectorate is roughly as follows: west of the Anzoategui region, east of the Zulia region, south of the Lesser Antilles, and north of the regions of Apure, Barinas and Mérida.
The leader of this protectorate has not yet been determined. It is intended to be left to people who understand current affairs. I wonder if he is willing to accept it?
If you don't want to, Brazil won't force it and will choose people who understand the overall situation to take control. "
The Caudillos are all sophisticated utilitarians who pursue their own interests. For them, the country and its people are for sale.
As long as they can maintain their status, the Caudillos have no face problems and will do things without mercy.
The protectorate area designated by Downing covers nearly one-third of Venezuela's territory, and is basically the most populous area of Venezuela.
The Venezuelan region occupied by Brazil, with the exception of Zulia State in Lake Maracaibo, is relatively densely populated, and other regions are vast and sparsely populated.
The population of the Venezuelan Protectorate is more than two million, while the population of the lost land is not even 800,000.
Tangning's protectorate has huge benefits, and I believe there are a lot of Caudillos who are willing to pay for it.
If Juan doesn't accept it.
I believe that someone will lend him a hand, and will cooperate with Brazil in the future, and will work extremely diligently to win Brazil's favor so that he can take over this protectorate.
“This protectorate will not be publicized for the time being, allowing knowledgeable Caudillos to bid.
However, the time of the Kingdom of Brazil is very limited. If Juan does not give an answer within two days, it will be regarded as giving up and the leader of the Protectorate will be handed over to others. "
What Tang Ning conveyed was actually very simple, adding carrots and sticks, letting Juan decide what to do, and finally understanding the current affairs.
If you don't cooperate, just wait to be purged.
“By the way, let Louis emphasize something.
Brazil will not allow any country to accept members of the Venezuelan government in exile.
If someone is willing to take the challenge of going into exile, please be prepared. Brazil will reward the corresponding person with a high price to capture or even kill the fugitive. "
Neto quickly took notes and found that the king was not speaking. He tentatively asked if there was anything else he could add.
"Your Majesty, do you have anything else to add?"
"No, let Louis convey my meaning to Juan. I believe this military dictator will know how to do it."
Juan, a shameless military leader who rebelled and came to power, has an unstable foundation. If he dares to resist, he will bear the consequences.
Tang Ning didn't believe in the moral integrity of these military leaders in the Americas, especially those who conspired for a coup.
How many of these people are noble enough to sacrifice everything they have for the country?
Anyway, Tangning had never heard of such people in America.
