January 1, 1910, New Year's Day, Luxembourg Cathedral.
Holy and clear music!
A melodious hymn!
The nobles gathered together!
Today is an important day in Luxembourg. Grand Duke Guillaume IV of Luxembourg officially abdicated, and his daughter Marie Adelaide succeeded to the throne.
The moment Marie Adelaide, the queen of Pedro III of the Brazilian Empire, inherited the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the two countries truly became a common federation. In the future, their child Carl will legitimately inherit the two countries of Brazil and Luxembourg.
.
On July 25, Tangning and Mary's child was born. He was a boy. They had great expectations for the future of this child, so they named it Carl.
Carl, the name means a strong, independent and motivated man with strong courage and leadership.
"The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is a great, bright country with a long history...
Today, Her Majesty Marie Adelaide Therese Hilda Antonia Wilhelmina, by the grace of God and recognized by Guillaume IV, officially becomes the Grand Duke of Luxembourg!”
Following the Archbishop, the Proclamation of Succession of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg was read out.
Guillaume IV, who was holding his sick body, with a smile on his face and trembling hands, picked up the crown of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg and crowned his daughter Marie who was sitting on the throne.
"Mary, from now on, Luxembourg will be handed over to you. I sincerely wish that you and Pedro's child, Carl, will be an outstanding king like you in the future!"
Mary, wearing a crown, said to her grateful father with tears in her eyes: "Thank you father for your blessing. I sincerely pray to God, hoping that he can bless you and make a speedy recovery."
…
"My dear, how long can we stay in Europe? I hope to stay in Europe for a longer time, so that I can spend more time with my father."
After the coronation, Mary asked her dear husband Tangning in a sincere tone.
"I know this is not good, but my father's health is getting worse and worse. I am really afraid that after returning to Brazil, I will never have the chance to see him again in my lifetime."
Looking at his frail wife, Tang Ning hugged her and replied gently.
"Don't worry Mary, I have no plans to return to Brazil yet. At least we will stay in Europe this year."
Throughout 1910, Tangning definitely wanted to stay in Europe.
The strength of the Portuguese republicans became increasingly chaotic, with endless internal fighting, and even calls for the overthrow of Manu II became louder and louder.
Originally, Tang Ning thought that after the butterfly effect, Portugal had been divided into two political territories that did not interfere with each other. If both sides occupied one side, there would be no more trouble.
However, intelligence showed that the Portuguese republicans still did not stop after the Duke of Braganza and his nobles refused to interfere with their enclosure and pursuit of autonomy.
Today's Portugal is no different from Austria-Hungary. They are two political entities, each playing its own role, but on the surface they remain one family.
Without the restraint of the nobles, the Republicans, who occupied the majority of the interests in Portugal's territory, were completely torn apart by struggle. Internal strife was serious, and they became more and more unscrupulous in their pursuit of interests.
Many Republicans no longer pretend, they all want to be the boss and capture greater interests.
Manuel II, this rubber stamp who had lost the support of the nobility, was an eyesore to some republican factions, who believed that he was blocking their struggle for power.
Rubber Stamp Manuel II, after losing the support of the nobility, his life became more and more unsatisfactory. In order to maintain his precarious position, he had to cooperate with some republican bigwigs, and he cooperated with some bigwigs
, it offends other people.
The current Republican leader is Teofilo Braga. This guy turned out to be a writer with rough political skills. Even with the full support of Manuel II, he could not suppress the situation and overturned.
Sooner or later.
Tangning is not satisfied with the current situation in Portugal. He has contributed to the internal fighting among the Republicans.
Portugal, if a virtuous person lives there, and if the insects continue to cause chaos, sooner or later it will be completely destroyed.
What does it look like when a country is divided into two political powers? If the Republicans weren't too powerful, Tang Ning would have helped her father eradicate them all.
Portugal is now divided between Portugal and Portugal. The main performance of the Republicans will sooner or later exhaust the support of the people on their territory. Tangning is now accelerating this process.
Manuel II was an obstacle to Braganza's revival of the great Portuguese Empire.
Historically, this guy managed to run fast during military coups and managed to survive. This time, Tang Ning did not want him to survive. It was only a matter of time before the current republican factions developed into armed fighting. When the conflict broke out completely, it would be his life.
At the end.
The death of Manuel II can be regarded as a contribution to Portugal.
Europe's dead monarch is a very serious problem. Tang Ning has just the right time to sweep all the republicans into the rubbish heap and overthrow Portugal and start over.
The great Portuguese Empire without a complete Portugal cannot be considered a real empire at all.
"Thank you dear, but I'm a little worried. If we stay in Europe for a long time, will there be any problems in Brazil?"
Mary is not a completely selfish person. She is a little worried that staying in Europe for too long will arouse the dissatisfaction of the Brazilians, which may be detrimental to the Braganza royal family.
"Brazil is developing very well now. What dissatisfaction can the citizens have? Besides, Aunt Isabel and Helen have not left either. It is not like the royal family has gone to Europe en masse.
And I have already publicized it to the outside world. I came to Europe to learn more, better and more advanced things, and to prepare to better benefit Brazil in the future.
There is a lot that Brazil needs to learn in Europe, can this learning be done in a short time? I believe the people will understand me, Mary, you don’t have to worry.”
Tang Ning is not worried about the dissatisfaction of the people. Under his rule, the people of Brazil are living better and better, aren't they still dissatisfied?
Staying in Europe for a long time is a waste of time.
In this era, Europe is the center of the world and the representative of advanced countries. It is normal to go to Europe to study.
"Despite this, haven't you always said that Brazil's republicans have always existed? They have been lurking and causing trouble.
If we stay in Europe for a long time, will they take the opportunity to cause trouble? You must know that people are not all wise, and it will be bad if they are deceived and taken advantage of."
"If these clowns can come out because I stay in Europe for a long time, then I will be very happy.
These conspirators are now well hidden and have strong anti-investigation capabilities. It would be great if we could seize the clues and lead out the people behind them."
Today's Brazilian republicans are not as stupid as before. They have become sophisticated and difficult to fish. The results of the Security Bureau are getting less and less.
Since Brazil's restoration, the attacks against the republicans have not stopped.
The assassination incident directed and performed by Tang Ning directly set off the liquidation of the Republicans. Later, they found several excuses to continue the attack.
After suffering several major blows, the Republicans are no longer as stupid as before. Some people have gone to Argentina, Uruguay and other countries, while others are lurking.
There are not many Brazilians who are dissatisfied with the monarchy. These people are not all the original interests of the republic, but there are also various idealists who oppose the monarchy.
It is impossible for a country to have only one school of political thought, especially in this era, when ideological and political politics are most agitated.
Downing, while shaping monarchical state capitalism in Brazil, was also very wary of other ideas.
