Rio de Janeiro is the largest city in Brazil, with a population of over one million, and is the well-deserved capital of the Kingdom of Brazil.
Although the city of Rio de Janeiro, plus the state of Rio de Janeiro under his control, are among the bottom three in terms of the territory of the Kingdom of Brazil, strength cannot be judged by its large area.
Sitting on one of the world's three largest ports, Rio de Janeiro Port, Rio de Janeiro's first-mover advantage is super strong, and it is located in the middle of the four powerful Brazilian states of Miras, Sao Paulo, and Espírito Santo. , doomed Rio de Janeiro’s status to be unshakable.
Although the Kingdom has decided to build a new capital, Brasilia, in the state of Goras, there is currently no actual construction and it remains on paper, which cannot be compared with Rio de Janeiro at all.
The development of the interior, although also significant, was not the focus of the Kingdom of Brazil's first five-year plan.
In the first five-year plan, the Kingdom of Brazil still focused on the coast. The second five-year plan is the real focus, pushing the national resources into the inland.
The construction of Brasilia is also set in the second five-year plan in the national plan and is a key project, so the city does not exist now.
The state of Rio de Janeiro has a population limit of at least 10 million. Now it has a population of less than 3 million, so the potential is still huge.
In the first five-year plan, although many industrial projects of the country bypassed Rio de Janeiro, it does not mean that the country ignores the existence of the capital.
Rio de Janeiro, in the setting of His Majesty the King and the Cabinet, will be a political, military, economic, and cultural center, not a so-called industrial center.
There are many aspects of the country, including political, military, economic, and cultural construction, and Rio de Janeiro can always occupy a share.
For example, this time, in higher education, the seven Royal National Colleges are from Rio de Janeiro.
Even among the remaining 42 specialty colleges, Rio de Janeiro accounts for four, namely Rio de Janeiro Normal College, Rio de Janeiro Polytechnic, Rio de Janeiro Agriculture and Forestry College and Rio de Janeiro Medical College.
In addition to education and military, Rio de Janeiro has directly included three military universities this time.
In addition to the Port of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro also has many excellent ports, but these ports and coastal land have not been developed on a large scale.
This time to establish a military college, the Royal Government of Brazil directly selected all military university colleges in the Itaguay, Mangaratiba and Angra dos Reis areas between the port of Rio de Janeiro and the state of Sao Paulo.
These three regions include plains, mountains, hills, plateaus, beaches, peninsulas, islands, and many undeveloped excellent ports.
The Kingdom of Brazil directly designated this vast area as a military zone, and the Pedro Royal Army Academy, Henry Royal Naval Academy, and the Royal Military University of Braganza were all built in this military zone.
Brazil will definitely build many more military academies in the later period, but Brazil currently lacks too many to become fat in one go.
We can only cover some points first, and then use the points to expand the area. First, we can focus on developing some necessary ones, and then push them out to expand and comprehensively expand.
As the capital, Rio de Janeiro naturally enjoys priority in the collection of resources, and this is as it should be.
This is true throughout Brazil, whether it is industry, agriculture, transportation, or other aspects, including education, and the military is no exception.
January 25, 9:30, Taiguay Royal Army Plaza.
At this moment, Tangning, as the Supreme Majesty of Brazil, His Majesty Pedro III, was giving the principal's speech at the beginning of the school year to the students of three Royal Military Academies.
“Hello to fellow students of the Royal Pedro Army Academy, the Henry Royal Naval Academy, and the Royal Military University of Braganza!
I am your King, Downing Pedro João Miguel Gabriel Rafael de Braganza, and now your Rector.
The students here are all the future backbone of the Brazilian army.
The reason why I established the Military Academy, and the reason why you enrolled in it, is actually for the same purpose, which is to build the Royal Army of the Kingdom of Brazil into a world power.
The military academy is the core engine of a country's army. With it, a country's army can become a strong army.
Every powerful country has military academies and must have them.
The military academies that I know of include: Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in the United Kingdom, Cranwell Military Academy in the United Kingdom, Saint-Cyr Military Academy in France, West Point Military Academy in the United States, and the United States Naval Academy...
To build a strong national military, Brazil must have its own Royal Military Academy, whether it is the army or the navy.
Pedro Royal Army Academy, Henry Royal Naval Academy, and Royal Military University of Braganza are responsible for the task of building a strong country and military in Brazil.
Our Kingdom of Brazil is the first-class powerful country in South America. All countries in South America are always frightened when facing our powerful Brazil.
But our strength is limited to South America.
If we place the Kingdom of Brazil in the world, our Kingdom of Brazil is not very strong. Europe is the center of the world and is home to many powerful countries.
If our Brazilian military strength is placed there, it may be equivalent to Spain, or even worse, it may only be equivalent to Bulgaria.
The United States, which is also on the American continent, surpasses us in every aspect.
Military, education, and economy are all comprehensively covered, surpassing ours. The gap between Brazil and the United States is huge.
I, your King Pedro III, the King of this country, came from Europe, traveled to the United States, and restored the Kingdom of Brazil.
My experience, my life, and all my knowledge tell me that the Kingdom of Brazil is just a frog sitting in the well of South America.
The previous government has been limiting your vision and eroding the foundation of this country. The Kingdom of Brazil has been restored. What it has to do now is to repair and move forward to catch up with the Western powers.
Although we, the Kingdom of Brazil, lag behind the world powers, there is one thing that we do not lack the determination to catch up with.
Brazil also has its own advantages. Our population is 30 million, which is the most populous country in the world.
Our territory covers 9 million square kilometers. There are only a few countries in the world that exceed ours. In the world, Brazil ranks at least fifth.
The will of our people is not bad, and there are many challenges to Brazil in South America.
Paraguay, Argentina, and Venezuela have all challenged us in Brazil, but now the outcome is that, except for Argentina, which can fight, the remaining Paraguay and Venezuela have become our tributaries.
Brazil has its advantages and disadvantages.
What I said we should do is to check for omissions, make up for the shortcomings, learn with an open mind, and catch up with the advanced.
We in Brazil are doing it in all aspects.
And your mission is actually very simple, which is to catch up with the world powers militarily and make Brazil worthy of its name.
