On December 1, 1912, Tangning Pedro and Marie Adelaide boarded the cruise ship "Union" in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and officially embarked on the journey back to Brazil.
"It's been almost two years. I wonder how Brazil is doing now? I'm really looking forward to its current development." Tangning said, holding on to the railing and looking at the seagulls flying on the blue sea.
Although it was very comfortable to stay in Europe for so long, Tang Ning could not forget Brazil.
The Portuguese, Brazilian, and Algarve Empire was named after Portugal, but its main body was actually Brazil.
The empire is a European country in name, but everyone knows that this empire is essentially an American country.
Portugal and the Algarve in Europe, plus the tiny Luxembourg, are not as big as Sao Paulo in Brazil, and Brazil is closer to the Portuguese colony, so the Portuguese United Empire is destined to rely on Brazil.
The United Empire was most afraid of unclear subjects. In order to establish the absolute subject of Brazil, Tangning directly divided Portugal completely. On the basis of Portugal, he created multiple new kingdoms, principalities, royal states, and the political power of the second capital Lisbon. Restricted to death.
The current European part is stable and orderly, and the large institutions that coordinate Europe have been deleted.
Just a month ago, the Second Cabinet in Lisbon, the second capital of the empire, was officially abolished by him and changed to the Capital Committee. Important officials from various ministries returned to Brazil. Now Lisbon's powers and responsibilities are nothing more than a regional-level management government agency.
Although Tangning Pedro received a European education, he has no European plot. There is no so-called British plot in the British Empire. The main body of an empire should be dominated by the largest and most potential part, and the small can control the big. The lasting way.
"Aunt Yin Sabel said that Brazil is developing very well now, especially the capital Rio de Janeiro, which is well planned and developed. The original slums and shantytowns of all sizes have been completely transformed, and the city is now beautifully built."
Marie Adelaide said with a smile: "Rio de Janeiro has always been a vibrant place, and now it should be even more vibrant and full of vitality."
Marie Adelaide still likes Brazil very much, even more than Luxembourg.
Luxembourg is a small place, small and weak. It is surrounded by three European powers: France, Germany, and Belgium, and is restricted everywhere.
Now that her father Guillaume IV has passed away, Marie Adelaide's feelings for Luxembourg have become even weaker. This time she returned to Brazil, and she brought her mother Maria Anna and all her sisters with her.
Luxembourg is developing very well now, but many citizens have traveled to various parts of the Portuguese Empire. Even those who have not left Luxembourg, it is now very popular to travel to the Portuguese Empire.
“The rise and fall of the Portuguese empire all depended on Brazil. Only by building Brazil well can this empire last forever.
This time I will return to Brazil in January next year. In the second half of the year, I will start a tour of the country again. This tour will not be as hasty as the last time. I want to take a good look at the impact of the five-year plan on this country. "
When Tangning Pedro said this, he took his wife Mary's delicate hand and said with a gentle smile: "My dear, this time is just another honeymoon trip for us. We want to see and experience all aspects of Brazil."
"Well, okay." Mary Adelaide took advantage of the opportunity and agreed with a blushing face.
When Downing Pedro's family embarked on the journey back to Brazil with joy, his father Francisco was furious in Aragon.
"What do you mean by France? It wants to talk to us about the status of Andorra and Livia. What's there to talk about?
Andorra is a co-administration between the two countries, and Livia is our enclave of Aragon. The status relationship is very clear. "
Francisco slapped the telegram sent by the French government on the table.
"What's going on with the French government? After they have gained influence over Navarre, aren't they satisfied? Do they want to further influence our Kingdom of Aragon?"
"Your Majesty, the national atmosphere in France is very strong now. After gaining dominance over Morocco and now influencing Navarre, the national sentiment among French people is high, and the French government has also been affected."
Toni resigned from his position in Portugal and became Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Aragon, speaking to King Francisco.
“The current French Prime Minister Poincaré was born in the ceded Lorraine. He has strong anti-German sentiments and a desire to maintain French security. He is committed to safeguarding all French sovereignty.
Aragon is now in dire straits, and Poincarais obviously wants to take this opportunity to force us to make changes that are beneficial to France. "
The current French Prime Minister Poincalais was born in Bar-le-Duc in the ceded Lorraine region in 1860. As time went by, his hatred of Germany grew higher and higher. His contribution to France throughout his life was outstanding. .
Poincalai successfully entered the French Parliament in 1887 and served as a member of the House of Representatives from 1887 to 1903 and a senator from 1903 to 1913. He served as Minister of Public Education in 1893 and 1895, and as Minister of Finance from 1894 to 1895 and 1906. In 1909, he was elected as an academician of the French Academy. As a boy, he felt the pain of Prussia's partition of his hometown of Lorraine, and he had strong anti-German sentiments and a desire to maintain the security of France.
During his tenure as Prime Minister and Foreign Minister from 1912 to 1913, France established French colonial rule over Morocco. Strengthened France's relations with Russia and Britain, and won over Italy. During his tenure as president from 1913 to 1920, he actively prepared for war, prompting the cabinet to pass the three-year compulsory military service law. In July 1914, he visited Russia and advocated that world war was inevitable. In 1917, war-weariness rose in the country, and peace talks were widespread. Georges Clemenceau, an old political enemy and a hard-line militant, was forced to appoint Georges Clemenceau to form a cabinet.
After his term as president expired in 1920, he returned to the Senate and served as leader of the Conservative National Alliance and chairman of the Reparations Committee. In 1922, he resumed his duties as Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, advocating a tough policy towards Germany. In 1923, troops were sent to the Ruhr to force Germany to continue paying reparations. But it failed. In May 1924, due to the Ruhr crisis, he failed in the parliamentary election and was forced to step down. In July 1926, Edouard Herriot, who replaced the left-wing alliance, formed the National Alliance government. He served as prime minister and finance minister for the third time. He safeguarded the interests of the big bourgeoisie, implemented salary cuts and tax increases, and stabilized the franc to solve France's problems. His outstanding contribution to the fiscal crisis led to a new period of prosperity in France. He retired from politics in July 1929 due to illness. Died in Paris on October 15, 1934.
"Your Majesty the King, although Poincaré is a radical nationalist, he is actually not interested in changing the status of Andorra and Livia. In the final analysis, these two places are barren lands of little value.
Andorra and Livia, we have no clear separation of powers from France. This time he asked to talk to us about these two places. He actually hoped to use this to get us, Aragon, to join the Allied Powers.
Our ambassador to France, Jean, has just received news that French Prime Minister Poincalais is willing to give up sovereignty over Andorra and let all rights in Andorra belong to Aragon. He is also willing to provide low-interest franc loan funds to Aragon. For development, the exchange condition is for us, Aragon, to join the Entente. "
