Regarding the Peruvian issue, Brazil and Chile quickly reached a peace agreement through the mediation of the British Empire.

Tangning is very willing to give face to the British Empire.

Moreover, Chile is also very sensible. In the case of Peru, it admitted that it was in the wrong, apologized to the Kingdom of Brazil and the Principality of Peru, and made compensation.

After the Saltpeter War, in the "Treaty of Hollows", the Tacna and Arica areas that the Chilean government had overdue jurisdiction over were now voluntarily returned to the Principality of Peru and compensated US$300,000.

In addition to these, Chile also took the initiative to show goodwill and jointly develop the disputed areas.

Of course, Chile was sincere in solving the problem, and Tangning was ready to appease Britain, so the Kingdom of Brazil was very cooperative.

The Kingdom of Brazil responded positively to Chile's initiative to make concessions.

Shelved the Tarapac area; also recognized the treaty signed during the Bolivian period and gave up the sovereignty of Antofagasta in the Maritime Province.

The United Kingdom is very satisfied with how Chile and Brazil have cooperated with its adjustments.

Chile also felt that it was not at a loss. It only paid 1 million pounds to avoid a war with Brazil, settled most of the disputed areas, and kept most of the spoils of the South Pacific War.

The area currently disputed between Chile and Brazil and Peru is the Talapac area. The two sides have chosen to shelve the dispute and now develop it together.

The UK has given suggestions on the final settlement of the sovereignty of this land.

When the UK feels that the time is ripe, it will be up to the local people to decide on their own, and under the impartial supervision of the UK, a referendum will be held to determine ownership.

The "Treaty of Santiago", with the joint positive attitude of the three parties, achieved a result that everyone was happy with.

"Let the Chileans be happy first. Brazil will get back the land that belongs to Brazil sooner or later."

Tangning withdrew his gaze from the border between Chile, Bolivia and Peru, and focused his attention on Bolivia and Peru.

Bolivia and Peru are now both territories of Brazil. The difference is only in form. One is directly included in Brazil, and the other is also included in Brazil but under the name of a principality.

This formal gap means that there will be no more Bolivia in the future. It is now part of the Kingdom of Brazil, while Peru still retains its superficial name, but in fact it is also part of the Kingdom of Brazil.

Arrangements for Bolivia and Peru must now be put on the agenda.

Bolivia has completed its land reform and Brazil has successfully taken over. Now it is time to re-divide the administrative regions.

Bolivia, with millions of square kilometers, is not a small country, but its population is pitifully small, less than 1 million, but it is divided into several administrative regions, which is completely unnecessary.

Bolivia's population is mainly concentrated in the cities of La Paz, Cogabamba, Sucre, and Santa Cruz, while the rest are scattered in rural areas and small towns.

Re-planning administration is actually very simple.

Tangning looked at the map of Livia, took out the signal pen, and directly planned and arranged the new administrative regions according to her own ideas.

The four regions of La Paz, Cogabamba, Oruse, and Pando were merged together to form the Inca Royal State, with the state capital La Paz.

The Baja Inca region is almost the essence of Bolivia. It has the fertile Lake Titicaca basin on the plateau, the fertile Cogabamba Basin, and Pando, a region close to a large tributary of the Amazon.

Merging the four districts together can effectively expand the influence of the Kingdom of Brazil in this region. Even if other regions rebel one day, it will be under control here and it will be easy to counter the rebellion.

Except for the Baja Inca royal state, Downing transformed the remaining Bolivia regions into two ordinary states.

One is Sucre state and the other is Alto Chaco state.

The state of Sucre is composed of three districts: Potosi, Tarija, and Chuquisaco. The state capital is the original capital of Potosi and the legal national capital Sucre.

Alto Chaco state is composed of the San Lucos region of Alta Chaco, which belongs to the Grand Chaco range, and the Beni region of the Amazon Basin. The state capital is Santa Lux.

Sucre and Alto Chaco are actually not poor. They are just one with many mountains and few basins, and the other is barren and full of grasslands and forests with few people. In fact, they are quite rich in resources, especially oil and natural gas.

Tangning will also develop these two areas, but resources are limited at this stage. We will first connect them with railways and wait for the third and fourth five-year plans to develop them.

Bolivia has three states, divided into the Alto, Lower Inca Real and Sucre states, which belong to the newly established Western Inca Region, while Alto Chaco State belongs to the inland Central Region.

Bolivia has been administratively divided, and although Peru has now become the Principality of Peru, it actually belongs to the Kingdom of Brazil.

Tangning is now the King of Brazil and the Grand Duke of Peru, so he is certainly qualified to divide Peru.

The problem of Peru is the same as that of Bolivia. It has a large territory but a small population. The population of Peru is only over one million, so there is no need to divide it into more than a dozen or twenty states.

For so many states, Downing cut across the board and directly integrated them into four states.

The ancient Inca capitals are Cusque, Puno, Madired Dios, Apurimac, Ayacucho, Arequipa, Moquegua, Tacna and Arica.

A total of ten regions form the Inca Royal State, with the state capital in Puno.

Downing originally wanted to place the state capital in Cusque, but the map location and data show that Puno is close to Lake Titicaca and closer to the coast. The terrain is relatively gentle, so it is just right to set the state capital here.

With Lima, the capital of Peru, as the center, the seven regions of Lima, Ancash, Huanuco, Pasco, Junin, Huancavelica, and Ica form the Central Inca Royal State, with the state capital Lima.
The other two states are Alta Amazonas and Maritime.

Alta Amazonas state is composed of four regions: Amazonas, San Martín, Loreto, and Ucayali, with the state capital Pulcapa.

Maritime State consists of four states: La Libertad, Lambayeque, Piura, and Cajamac, with the state capital Piura.

Whether it is Alta Amazonia or Maritime State, these two planned states have disputes with Ecuador, namely the triangular dispute in the upper reaches of the Amazon, and the coastal areas such as Tumbes.

The original Peruvian government did not dare to be tough with Ecuador because of its weakened national strength after the war with Chile.

But now it’s the Kingdom of Brazil. A small country like Ecuador has territorial disputes with it. That’s great. It will give me an excuse to clean up and control this country in the future.

Peru and Bolivia are divided into seven states in total, including three royal states. Brazil actually does not have the power to develop so many areas and can only choose two densely populated areas.

The Lower Inca, headed by La Paz, and the Upper Inca, headed by Lima, are undoubtedly the key development targets, and local transformation and control are also the most important.

If Brazil wants to develop the other four regions, it should go back first. The whole of Brazil needs to be developed, so it can only pick the key points first.

Anyway, after the five-year plan, there will be another five-year plan, and these regions will have their turn sooner or later.

In these sparsely populated areas, it is enough to develop a key city, and if the land is divided and farmers will go to the countryside, there will be no hunger rebellion.

It doesn't matter if you are poor, as long as you are not hungry and unreasonably oppressed, not many people will rebel.

At this stage, Brazil's task is to complete the first five-year plan. The expansion has come to an end and can no longer expand.

Uruguay hasn't gotten it back yet. How can Ecuador and Colombia have time to care about the other countries?

Although these two countries are neighboring countries, Tangning didn't know much about them. Before Peru and Venezuela were conquered, the areas bordering Brazil and Colombia were all tropical rainforests, while Nicaragua's territory was not bordering them.

Britain has assigned these two places to Brazil as its sphere of influence.

But Brazil doesn't have much energy to control them. It can only send the Golden Gun Bureau over first to find out their background, and then control them in depth, and at the same time be wary of the United States infiltrating the two.

Running a country is not about playing a single-player game and expanding and expanding all day long.
