"Argentina and Chile signed an alliance treaty so quickly, which is a bit beyond my imagination."
Argentina and Chile signed an alliance treaty and reached an alliance, which indeed exceeded Tang Ning's expectations.
Tang Ning had expected that these two countries could reach an alliance.
However, he did not expect to arrive so quickly, which shows that the leaders of the two countries still have some abilities.
“These two presidents are okay!
Jose Figueroa Alcorta and Pedro Monte Monte still have some ability to govern.
Instead of relying on the UK for the national security of Argentina and Chile, they worked hard to improve their armaments and form alliances and cooperation. "
The mountain falls, the water flows. It's good to have a big brother to rely on, but you have to be a little bit confident yourself, otherwise when the big brother withdraws, you will be finished.
The leaders of Chile and Argentina know very well that although having a big brother can ensure security, they must also be strong themselves.
This is unlike some countries that rely entirely on foreign powers for their own security.
It is impossible for the great powers to honor their commitments and fulfill their protection responsibilities at any time and in any place.
Even then, not only will they not protect you, they may even sell you.
This kind of history does not exist. Whether it is before or in the future, this kind of thing can always happen again.
The intelligence from the two countries from the Golden Gun Bureau, as well as the quick alliance, told Tangning that the current leaders of the two countries were very capable and responded quickly.
Chile and Argentina, two countries, although there are constant struggles at the upper levels and are not friendly to the lower levels, and the national development has reached a bottleneck, it does not mean that there are no capable people.
Today's presidents of the two countries are quite qualified. Although they are limited by their own status and cannot completely change the country from top to bottom, they can still make tinkering.
Although the development of industry has collapsed, they still value the military that can protect their own country and their own interests.
In order to ensure the supply of military weapons, in addition to increasing the introduction of advanced European weapons, we also set up some military-industrial enterprises as much as possible to complete ourselves.
In addition to weapons, the two countries have also expanded their armies on a large scale, and when expanding their armies, they were not as timid as the Republic of Brazil.
It is because of the historical existence of kingdoms in Brazil that the republic is wary of limiting its military.
The concerns of the Republic's government are not unfounded.
Although Pedro II was disillusioned with Brazil and paid no attention to Brazil after he went into exile in Europe, the royalists still existed.
Especially when the republican government came to power and then refused to admit its defeat, the royalists lost power. Not only did they not weaken, they even became violent for a period of time.
The Brazilian Navy and part of the Army launched an operation. Since then, the Brazilian Republic has further restricted its military.
Unlike Brazil, Chile and Argentina do not have this risk.
Argentina and Chile have been republics since their birth.
Both countries relied on force to overthrow the Spanish rule. There was no king later, and the army has always been a tool for them to rob.
In the Kingdom of Brazil, after announcing the expansion of the army to 150,000, Argentina increased its regular army by 10,000, and Chile also increased its army by 3,000.
After Brazil defeated Venezuela and took control of the country, Argentina directly expanded its regular army to more than 50,000 people and began to build a border defense system, while Chile added another 1,000 people.
After Paraguay became the Principality of Paraguay, Argentina expanded its army to more than 70,000 people and increased its efforts to build a border defense system.
Chile, after Brazil annexed Bolivia and bordered it, directly expanded its army to more than 60,000 people.
Chile and Argentina currently have a combined army of 140,000 troops. Many troops have begun to deploy to border areas and have begun to build defense lines.
Maintaining an army of so many people is not good for both countries, but Brazil is now too threatening.
The combined armies of the two countries can only barely equal Brazil's. If Brazil expands its army, the two countries may not be able to keep up.
Chile and Argentina have already made demands to the British government. While protecting the two countries, the UK must also limit the expansion of Brazil's military.
Britain readily agreed!
Brazil's current military strength is sufficient. If it increases further, it will prepare for a war, and this war will definitely be against Chile and Argentina.
After all, do Colombia and Ecuador, two neighboring countries of Brazil, need so many troops to deal with?
Obviously not needed.
The European powers encouraged Brazil to dominate these two countries and allowed Brazil to expand its sphere of influence.
No need to fight at all!
If Brazil expands its army again, there can only be one explanation, and that is to attack Chile and Argentina.
You can't. Brazil is expanding its army to attack the United States, right?
This makes no sense at all.
The United States does not have that many troops now.
Moreover, what Brazil has added is its army. Brazil is not in contact with the United States. If it wants to fight the United States, it first needs a navy that is stronger than the United States.
If Brazil wants to fight the United States, the navy will simply not be able to pass it at the moment.
The strength of the Brazilian Navy and the U.S. Navy are very different. They are not at the same level at all, and their shipbuilding capabilities cannot be compared.
The strength of the United States exceeds that of Brazil, which is overall.
The United States covers almost all aspects of population, economy, military, politics, industry, agriculture, etc., and is stronger than Brazil in all aspects.
Now the Kingdom of Brazil, in order to catch up with the United States, makes Europe feel a little crazy.
A so-called state capitalism was created.
The Kingdom of Brazil’s actions are very different from those of existing capitalist countries.
Directly use state machinery to improve their own strength, implement state intervention and guidance in the free economy, and even directly set up businesses.
But?
After all, Brazil is a monarchy. It is not strange for a country with a king to have any model.
Now, the European powers just hope that Pedro III and his cabinet will not bring down the country.
In the Americas, the US team is getting stronger and stronger, the UK and France are becoming more and more unstoppable, and Brazil is working hard to strengthen itself. This is so worthy of encouragement and support.
To share the pressure, only Brazil can do this in the entire Americas.
The United States has a population of more than 80 million, making it the second largest country among the great powers after Tsarist Russia.
Not only does it have a large population, but the United States is also very large, and it is all native land, covering more than 8 million square kilometers, and there is no tropical rainforest. The potential is terrible.
The population of the United States has been growing rapidly since independence. It now exceeds 80 million, and it will definitely grow rapidly in the future.
Historically, the United States had a population of more than 90 million in 1913. In 1921, the population exceeded 100 million, and the population continued to grow rapidly thereafter.
The new U.S. population bulletin shows that as of December 31, 1908, the U.S. population exceeded 85 million, which was 9 million more than the 76 million in 1900.
When this population announcement came out, the UK couldn't sit still and decided to accept the transfer of a number of technologies when preparing to sign a contract with Brazil's upcoming study tour to Europe.
Although the UK cannot control mainstream British capital and move capital from Europe to Brazil, it must provide technical support.
In addition to technical support, educational support is even greater.
Now, with the encouragement of the UK, not all of the British university professors have gone to Brazil to teach. The UK has even directly assigned some outstanding graduates and new university teachers to Brazil.
In dealing with the United States, Britain is now increasing its efforts.
Although Brazil has a population of 30 million, which is smaller than that of the United States, it can still be considered a taller among the short ones, so I can only choose him.
If Europe doesn't support Brazil, why should it support Mexico?
History has proved that letting Mexico deal with the United States is like beating a dog with a meat bun, and there will be no return.
