"Has the time been decided? When are you planning to hold the coronation ceremony!"
Isabel, asked Tangning about the date of his emperor’s coronation.
"The time for the coronation has not been chosen yet, so there is no need to rush."
Although crowning the Inca Emperor is a big event, Tang Ning is not in a hurry to do it.
Brazil is now in a period of development, and national construction is in full swing. He needs to deal with many aspects, not to mention the matter of marrying Mary.
The ancient Inca capital, Cusco, is located in the Central Inca Royal State. It is located in a valley at an altitude of 3,400 meters in the inland Andes Mountains of southern Peru, in the Urubamba River Basin, a branch of the Amazon River.
It will take Tangning a long time to get to this place.
"I still have a lot to do. At least in the first half of this year, I won't be able to go to Cusco, but I have planned the route and pass through many areas."
"Brazil is very big. When I was young, due to identity restrictions, I didn't fully understand the various places in Brazil. It's a pity now that I think about it."
Isabel had brothers, but they all died young. As the crown prince, Pedro II regarded her very seriously and strictly restricted the scope of his daughter's activities.
At that time, Brazil covered more than 8 million square kilometers, but Isabel's area of activity was limited to narrow coastal areas, and she had never really seen the vast land of Brazil.
Isabel asked curiously: "You have planned a patrol route. Where do you want to pass?"
“Starting from the capital, first take a train to the state of São Paulo, then continue by train from São Paulo to Belo Horizonte in the state of Milas, and then take a train through the state of Gilas to Goiás, the capital of the state of Goiás.
City.
In the second half of the year, the railway between Goiás and Mato Grosso should be connected. By then I will arrive from Goiás to Cuiaba, the capital of Mato Grosso.
When I arrive in Cuiaba, I will take a boat to Ascension, the capital of Paraguay."
"Take the waterway to Ascension in Paraguay!?"
Isabel was a little confused when she heard the route to Ascension.
"Tangning, can the waterway between Cuiabá and Asuncion be open?"
Between Cuiaba and Ascension, they both belong to the Paraguay River Basin, but in Isabel's impression, Cuiaba is far away from Ascension on the Paraguay River, and the waterway should be extremely unsmooth.
"Aunt Isabel, the Paraguay River is different from the Paraná River in terms of topography. It has extremely huge shipping potential.
The upper and middle reaches of the Paraná River flow through areas with rugged terrain, such as the famous Iguazu Falls at the junction of Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina, which seriously affects shipping.
The Paraguay River originates from the eastern foothills of Paresis Mountain in the Mato Grosso Plateau of Brazil, flows through southwestern Brazil and Paraguay, and flows into the Paraná River near Corrientes in Argentina.
The area where the Paraguay River flows is not as rugged as the Paraná River, and the river course is relatively smooth.
This river, except for the upper part, is navigable almost entirely. Large river ships can be used below Asunción, medium-sized ships can be used below Columba in Mato Grosso do Sul, and small ships can go up 2,200 kilometers to Caceres.
."
Although the Paraguay River is nominally a tributary of the Paraná River, it is actually the fifth largest river in South America, and has greater development potential than the main Paraná River. The Paraguay River originates from the Mato Grosso Plateau in Brazil.
The eastern foothills of Mount Paresis flows through southwestern Brazil and Paraguay, and flows into the Paraná River near Corrientes, Argentina.
This river has a total length of 2,550 kilometers and a navigable section of 2,200 kilometers. It is an absolute golden waterway.
The Paraguay River has a basin area of 1.1 million square kilometers. Although it has a tropical grassland climate, the entire basin area has abundant water, with precipitation reaching more than 2,000 millimeters. Even in the dry season from June to July, navigation is still possible.
Although the Kingdom of Brazil's first five-year plan did little inland development, mainly concentrated in the state of Miras, it attached great importance to inland transportation.
The navigation of the Paraguay River is directly regarded as a key development and an important water conservancy construction point in the first five-year plan.
Moreover, Brazil wants to build Paraguay to use it as a counterweight to Argentina. The Paraguay River runs through Paraguay, and its strategic position is extremely prominent.
Because of the importance of this river, Brazil launched the plan in December last year before the five-year plan was officially implemented.
"Caceris, just near Cuiabá, is also navigable by small boats.
I plan to start from Cuiaba, go down the river, pass through Columba and other cities in Mato Grosso do Sul, and directly arrive at Ascension, the capital of Paraguay.
There is a Pi River Mayo River between Ascension and Sucre, the original capital of Bolivia. There are also some waterways and road transportation is very convenient. I will go straight up this river to Sucre.
Sucre and La Paz, the two capitals of Bolivia, have very convenient transportation. Near La Paz is Lake Titicaca.
This plateau lake can support shipping. I will take a boat to Juliaca in Indo-California in Peru, and then take the land route to Cusco."
The road planned by Tang Ning has very convenient transportation. Even including the time spent inspecting inland states, it will take three months to reach the destination.
"How long does it take you to go back and forth? Do you want to take this road when you come back?"
Isabel looked at the route Tangning planned on the map and asked about the return trip.
"If I'm going back, I won't take the original route.
Near Cusco is the Amazon Basin, and after walking through a mountain road, you can enter the state of Akre."
Acre State is an important tropical economic plantation in Brazil, especially the rubber industry.
During the Brazilian Republic, this state suffered great oppression and was in turmoil. Now, during the Kingdom, it has gradually become more stable, but Tangning also needs to investigate.
"I will conduct a thorough inspection in the state of Acre, then go down the river to inspect the states of Amazonas and Acapa, and then also inspect the northeastern coast, and finally return to Rio de Janeiro.
The whole round trip takes about seven months. If everything goes well, it will only take six months."

Tang Ning's journey back and forth lasted almost half a year, covering almost all important regions in Brazil and visiting 80% of the states in the country.
"This round trip is exactly the same. It took half a year to inspect almost the whole country. Tangning, your plan is very good!
The Kingdom of Brazil has not been restored for long. By patrolling this road, you can better let the people know you, and you can spread the majesty of the royal family throughout the country."
Isabel was full of praise for her nephew’s planned route.
"But there are many places we pass on this road, so you must pay attention to safety.
The reforms since the restoration of the Kingdom of Brazil have touched many interests.
The security in the capital is very safe, but when you go outside, you have so many places to walk, so be careful of someone assassinating you."
Isabel is definitely not unfounded!
In this era, assassinations are the most frequent.
Tangning also knew the customs of this era. How many big figures in this era simply fell into the gutter and could not get up.
Some characters were even assassinated and died, causing disasters around the world.
The assassination of Ferdinand in Sarajevo is a typical example.
In this era, not only the United States has a long and frequent tradition of assassinations.
At this time, there were many assassinations in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and even Africa, especially in the political field.
"I know this, thank you for your concern."
Tang Ning still cherished her life. She established the Security Bureau mainly to protect her own safety.
"I will be vigilant during this inspection, and I have also arranged security personnel to check for dangers."
In this world, Tangning lives a very comfortable life, but she still hasn't had enough.
Tangning especially likes to wear a pointed hat like William II when he is out, and he also modified the hat, using special steel and making it thicker.
In addition to hats, Tangning also wears a special umbrella when he goes out. He even wears a protective goggles under his clothes so that no one can see them.
In terms of personal precautions, Tang Ning is still very strict and uses silver tableware when eating.
"Aunt Isabel, when I leave the capital, I will ask you to be the regent. At that time, you will supervise the country for me."
Tang Ning arranged many backup plans for her coronation tour, including asking Isabel to serve as regent.
"While you are away, I will help you take care of the country and prevent treacherous careerists from usurping the country while you are away."
The head of state is out of town, and domestic careerists have subverted the regime. This has happened since ancient times. Isabel certainly understands the hidden consciousness of her nephew.
Since the restoration of the Kingdom of Brazil, although the people have surrendered and resisted less and less, they should not relax for a moment.
Isabel vowed: "We in Braganza lost power once and finally regained it. I, an old woman, will never allow a second dynasty to be overthrown."
