1909, February 5, Rio de Janeiro.
Tangning looked at the Dominican message sent today and made a harsh judgment on one of the guys named Cowens.
"This man named Cowens is so insane. Don't give me easy mercy. Publicize his crime, parade it to the public, and let the people whip him until he dies."
Yesterday, the last rebel forces in Dominica were finally quelled by Brazil, and some guys who resisted to the end but did not commit suicide were captured.
Cowens was one of them. Seeing this elite's crazy and evil behavior, Tangning was very disgusted.
It's so satisfying to kill others and relatives, but when it comes to killing yourself, you don't have the courage to commit suicide.
This is not a person at all!
For such an evil, crazy and greedy guy, to hang him is to be too tolerant, and we must not let him die easily.
After dealing with the last group of rebels, Tangning began to make arrangements for the Dominican Republic.
Although the rebellion has subsided and order is slowly being restored, how to govern Dominica is also a problem.
Crackdown on Caudillo and agrarian reform can win the support of the majority of Dominicans, but this alone is not enough.
Dominica is located in the middle of the Caribbean Sea, facing the United States directly. It can be said that Brazil is the door and window to the United States, and it must be managed well.
The United States is so close to the Dominican Republic. Although it has been eliminated now, it is still influential and some people still envy the United States.
Dominicans must be allowed to live a good life in order to prove the superiority of the Brazilian system and eliminate the influence of the United States.
If we want to improve the quality of life of Dominicans, land reform alone will not bring prosperity to Dominica.
If Dominica wants to become wealthy, Brazil must have a corresponding set of governance and business methods.
After some thinking, Tangning came up with a way to run Dominica.
Dominica, in the era before Tang Ning traveled through it, was a famous tourist destination with a developed economy and wealthy people. It could be said to be the pearl of the Caribbean.
Especially against the background of the Haitian people next door, Dominica exudes infinite brilliance.
However, now Dominica does not have the capital to despise Haiti, and its own development is indeed not that good, only slightly better than Haiti.
If you want to make Dominica feel like you belong, all you need to do is be richer than the surrounding countries!
person? It’s not always like this. If you are dissatisfied with your life, you will only compare it with those around you.
In addition to Haiti, Dominica's surrounding neighbors are the U.S. colony of Puerto Rico, the British colonies of the Bahamas, and the Turks and Cakesters Islands.
There is no need to compare with Haiti, it has always been terrible!
After independence from France, the political situation has been turbulent. Their turmoil is more serious than that of Dominica. People's lives are becoming more and more difficult, and the days of eating earth cakes are not far away.
At this time, there are already many Haitians in Dominica who came here because they couldn't stand the life in Haiti.
Tang Ning must get rid of these people. He is not developing the Dominicans so that the Haitians can eat spicy food and enjoy the dividends of Brazil.
Deporting Haitians is easy!
First, create public opinion. Dominica has suffered a lot from the cruel rule of Haiti. It mobilizes public opinion to recall the pain and stir up ethnic hatred, and then uses the name to expel Haitians living in Dominica.
How to tell a Haitian apart?
This Downing has a way, borrowing Trujillo's method, to use parsley to identify those dark-colored people.
Haitians are almost all black and speak French, while Dominicans are light-skinned and speak Spanish, and the people in the two places have different names for parsley.
French-speaking Haitians cannot pronounce the name of parsley correctly in Spanish. This vegetable is called perejil in Dominicans and pèsi in Haiti.
As long as the pronunciation is wrong, it must be Haitian.
Of course, this kind of action must be sudden and rapid, first brewing public opinion, and then suddenly the navy and police move into action, using parsley to identify the crowd, and then forcibly expelling the Haitians.
Expelling the Haitians is not the first step. In a country like Haiti, the people live in dire straits, and their longing for the Dominican Republic will never disappear.
Build the wall! valley
A border wall must be built to prevent Haitians from smuggling over land. At the same time, the coast must be strictly inspected to directly attack the smugglers found. As for whether the Haitians are dead, injured or alive, it depends on how God bless them.
This kind of crackdown on maritime stowaways can actually be used indirectly to deal with the infiltration of Americans in Puerto Rico.
After arranging policies for Haiti, the remaining neighbors are the U.S. colony of Puerto Rico, and the British colonies of the Bahamas and Turks and Cakes Islands, which are also easy to solve.
To be honest, life in these two colonies is better than in Dominica.
After all, it is a colony of Britain and the United States. There are two great powers here, and the political situation is stable. Although it relies on abnormal economic conditions such as the sugar industry, the people's lives are definitely better than in Dominica.
However, Puerto Rico is different from the Bahamas and the Turks and Cakes Islands. Although the United States has stabilized Puerto Rico, it is not popular among the people.
Puerto Rico became a U.S. colony not long ago. The locals have strong ethnic and self-confidence. They dislike the United States very much and are very resistant to joining the United States.
Puerto Ricans think that they will be fine without the United States. The existence of the United States is a kind of oppression to them, and Americans have always wanted them to become a state of the United States. They are really ambitious.
How can a Puerto Rican, who has never been an American and does not speak English, become an American?
Before the United States took over Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico had already gained autonomy from Spain through uprisings and violence, and was just one step away from becoming independent.
However, the Spanish-American War broke out in 1898, disrupting the process and making Puerto Ricans very resentful of the United States.
In the Spanish-American War, Spain was defeated and Puerto Rico was ceded to the United States under the Treaty of Paris. The United States' administrative jurisdiction over Puerto Rico first took the form of a military government. During its two years of rule over the island, the military junta built schools, roads, railways, hospitals and health facilities. In 1900, the United States Congress established civilian control of the island. The Governor, the Cabinet, and one of the two houses of Puerto Rico's Legislature are appointed by the President of the United States. Puerto Ricans elect another chamber of the legislature and a commissioner in the capital who will represent the island's interests in Washington and have a voice but no vote in Congress. The United States has vigorously supported the island's economy, and Puerto Ricans are exempted from paying U.S. taxes.
When the Americans ruled Puerto Rico, they were very gentle. They sincerely asked them to join the United States many times, but they were all cruelly rejected.
Puerto Ricans enjoy the resources of the United States, but they believe that all these are obtained through their own hard work and have nothing to do with the United States. They are unwilling to join the United States and even want to strive for independence.
Later, Puerto Rico regretted its decision and wanted to join the United States, but it was too late. The United States no longer looked down upon them.
The Dominican Republic did the dog licking of the United States, and the United States did the dog licking of Puerto Rico. As a result, there was nothing left after the dog licking.
Unlike the American colony of Puerto Rico, the British Bahamas and Turks and Cakes Islands have a sparse population of less than 100,000. They have been colonized by the British for a long time, dating back to the pirate era, so their rule is very stable.
Although the economies of these two colonies were simple, relying on the sugar cane industry and mainly producing sugar and wine, the British had a large business and received all the sugar and wine as ordered, and the colonial people lived quite well.
Dominica is actually no worse than the two British and American colonies. It is richer in resources, but it lacks a stable political situation to allow economic development.
In this era, future generations of tourism cannot be counted on, but Tang Ning still has ways to develop. dominican.
Downing is preparing to develop Dominica's cash crops, minerals and jewelry to improve the regional economy.
Dominica has a long history of economic farming, with sugar cane, pepper, cardamom, and various other cash crops in abundance.
It's just that the political situation is unstable, the government is weak, and foreign trade is being squeezed. Now that Brazil has a stable regime, this situation can be changed.
Now that the serfs have been allocated fields, they are very motivated to produce. Brazil will also send farmers' associations over later to help them establish cooperatives and guide them in production. Good times will come.
Dominica is rich in precious metals and mineral resources such as gold, silver, copper, nickel, and aluminum, and can directly develop the mining industry.
After the serfs are liberated, the poor must also be liberated so that they can engage in the mining industry.
For these poor people, Brazil will send trade unions to help them work, let them engage in the mining industry, and get work and pay.
In addition to cash crops and precious metals, Dominica also has the "three treasures" that are famous for its luxury industry in later generations.
The three Dominican treasures, seaweed stone, amber and conch beads, are all rare and fine jewelry, and they are actually very simple to develop and use.
It just so happens that Tangning is implementing the luxury goods strategy, and these three treasures must be put to good use.
Dominican governance is actually very simple. Is it difficult to solve poverty in a region with hundreds of thousands of people?
The reason why it cannot develop is because of political instability.
Now that Brazil has acquired the Dominican Republic, the political situation has been stabilized, Caudillo has been deposed, and the people's support is available, how can it still not develop?
If it really can’t develop!
Tang Ning needs to find out what's going on? He wanted to find out which corrupt officials were at work and make them pay with blood.
