9%, a literacy rate close to 10%.
This literacy rate is still acceptable to Tang Ning, and it is not lower than his psychological limit.
In this era of the world, the only countries with a literacy rate of over 80% are Germany and Japan.
For other countries such as the UK, France, and the United States, it is only 40% to 80%.
Especially for weak powers such as Italy, Austria-Hungary, and Spain, the ratio hovers around 20%, or even lower than 20%.
Luxembourg, the country that Tang Ning is destined to rule in the future, has a good education.
This small country has a very high per capita education, with a population of tens of thousands, and a literacy rate of over 90%. In addition to the German dialect Luxembourgish, the proportion of people who are proficient in German, French, Dutch and English is quite high.
However, Portugal is worse. The literacy rate is about 10%. If you do not include the areas under the rule of the Miguel Braganza family, it will directly drop to 8%.
It can be said that Portugal, a terrible country, still has a low literacy rate compared to Brazil, which has many ethnic groups and is known as the melting pot of nations.
In the future, Portugal got rid of the chaos, developed and became a developed country. But in addition to per capita, Brazil's comprehensive strength surpassed Portugal, and it is one of the top ten countries in the world.
Why is this?
The reason why Tangning wants to come to Brazil.
Portugal is a small and weak country with a population of more than 5 million. Luxembourg is a small country with a population of less than 100,000. Even if the population of some colonies is included, the population is about 23 million.
Portugal and its colonies look good and have considerable development potential, but can Tangning take those seriously?
Those colonies are ten times larger than the Portuguese mainland, but will those areas be yours once they are developed?
Look at Zimbabwe and South Africa. Tangning is so confused that she treats them as local development.
This era is different from the past. The British Empire did not dare to use massacre on a large scale in the Boer War.
During the Boer War, in order to frighten the Boers, the British engaged in several small-scale wars, which directly forced themselves into the spotlight of public opinion and made it impossible for them to get out of power.
You, the most powerful country in the world, do this?
British gentleman?
That’s it?
Although Brazil is known as a melting pot of nations, Latin and Portuguese are the absolute mainstream. The government is terrible, but its ability to assimilate is still good.
Although Brazil has been complained about as an adobe among the BRIC countries, it is still a decent big country in the future, and its ethnic issues are not serious. It is in the sky and under the ground with the American ethnic issues.
But what about other aspects?
It’s very disappointing in other aspects!
It is precisely because of this that although Brazil is a big country, it is definitely not a powerful country.
"You said that Italian, Japanese, German and other ethnic groups have their own ethnic schools?"
Tangning was so keen, what did she catch?
If Tang Ning remembers correctly, the three Brazilian states south of Sao Paulo established their own country during the Kingdom of Brazil, and they also fought for independence in later generations.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Ronaldo said with emotion, thinking of the Germans and the Brazilian government.
"The Italians didn't build many schools, but the Japanese and Germans built a lot of schools.
In the state of Sao Paulo, there are not many of these people, and they are still dominated by us Portuguese-Brazilians. The situation in the three southern states is quite bad.
Especially the Germans, who are basically the dominant ethnic group in the two southern states, Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina, and a large number of Italians vassal them.
Our state of Sao Paulo and the neighboring state of Paraná in the south now have more and more Germans.
They rebelled once during the Kingdom of Brazil and were severely suppressed by King Pedro. They never dared to be too arrogant again.
In order to take revenge on the king, these people overthrew our Braganza dynasty in the first place, and those rebels and colluders also worked hard.
Although the current Brazilian government wants to control them, the government keeps changing and there is no spare effort.
If it were not for the help of Britain, which is very afraid of the Germans, these people would probably rebel again."
"Since the reunification, the Germans have become more and more confident.
These bad people who could not survive in China and fled to Brazil, if we had not taken them in, who knows where they would have died?"
Germans are always annoying, and Tang Ning is very disgusted with them.
Luxembourg is often infiltrated by them, who want to tie Luxembourg to the German chariot and play the national card.
Guillaume IV was very disgusted with them, especially the pro-German faction in the country. He believed that this was the hand of the devil that pushed Luxembourg into the abyss.
Luxembourg is a small country. Although it used to be part of the Holy Roman Empire, does it matter?
Northern France, northern Italy, the Netherlands, and Belgium were all once part of Holy Rome. They have become independent. Do you have a sense of identity?
Although these places are indeed the German nation, these German nations have long been localized and different from the original ones.
Britain is also Germany, Germany, why don't you touch them?
Luxembourg's independence from the Netherlands is none of your business. Just bully Luxembourg and try its best to infiltrate it.
Tangning understood her father-in-law, Guillaume IV, and believed that Luxembourg should side with Belgium and the Netherlands. The three Low Countries are one family, and the Greater Netherlands is not Germany.
At critical moments, Luxembourg cannot help but support France.
After all, the original suzerain country, the Netherlands, does not share a border with Luxembourg, and the two ethnic groups in neighboring Belgium, the Dutch and the French, cannot compete with themselves. How can they dare to touch Luxembourg and add another ethnic group to themselves?
Luxembourg has three neighboring countries. The small country Belgium is its close brother. The French Gauls and the Luxembourgers are not the same nation. The Germans are close to Luxembourg.
Germans play the national card all day long!
Luxembourg is annoyed to death by them. Although the country is small, some people want to join a big country, so there are many pro-German forces in Luxembourg.
Although Tang Ning helped Guillaume IV and wiped out the Republicans, it was difficult for him to take effective action against the Germans.
Luxembourg is too small, rich in iron ore resources, and its steel and other industries are developing well, so the evil Germans have taken a liking to it.
Although Luxembourg and other three low-lying countries are united to keep warm and actively move closer to the United Kingdom, they are too close to Germany, especially Luxembourg, which is the weakest.
Historically, Tangning's fiancée Marie Adelaide, who had never been married, was deceived by the German army when they entered World War I.
Grand Duke Marie Adelaide, who only wanted to keep Luxembourg, compromised with Germany and was directly liquidated after the war.
Marie Adelaide abdicated to Charlotte and entered the monastery directly to live out her remaining days.
Tang Ning has no favorable impressions of the Germans who started the two wars, even during the European Union period.
With the help of the EU, Germany almost completed two wars. The unfinished tasks are essentially the same as the original greedy Germany!
Merkel, who jumps from left to right, changes her position before and after, and deceives ordinary people. Where is the Holy Mother?
Tangning, who studied in Paris, clearly saw the essence of Germany when traveling in Eastern Europe.
In World War I, Germany lost. Tangning absolutely wanted all the Germans to return and carve up German territory, and Luxembourg would definitely help.
Luxembourg is too small. There are a lot of things on the German territory that were originally from Luxembourg, and they should be returned.
"The state of Sao Paulo is now under our control. Watch out and don't give the Germans any chance to develop."
Tangning came to Brazil. Her hometown in Sao Paulo state was actually a German nest next door. She was in a very bad mood.
"I remember that the proportion of Italians in the three southern states is not low!
Ronaldo, what is the approximate proportion of various ethnic groups in the three southern states of Brazil? We must be wary of the Germans."
"Your Highness, I have no information."
After Ronaldo said this, he saw Tangning frowning and knew that he was dissatisfied with the family's ability to act in Brazil, so he quickly made amends.
"However, I have been there and I can have a rough idea.
In the states of Ogrande and Santa Catarina, Germans should account for 45%, Italians 20%, Portuguese and mixed descendants 30%, and Hispanics 5%.
In the state of Paraná, Germans should be 35%, Italians 25%, and Portuguese and mixed-race 40%.”
"Oh, there aren't many Germans, either? Not more than 50%, but the Italians are dependent on them, right?"
Tangning thought about the ethnic data and saw that the Italian ethnic group had such a large population, and she probably had an idea in her mind.
"You are right, Your Highness!"
Ronaldo recalled the situation in the three southern states and expressed his views.
"In the three southern states, Germans are the richest, and Italians are very dependent on them.
The Germans discriminate against the Portuguese and Spanish, but are also willing to use Italians. Farms and factories like to use them as labor.
But there are also wealthy Italians, and not all of them are vassals of the Germans."
This is very Italian!
Whoever is strong will depend on him, and will he be just a wallflower?
Dealing with wallflowers.
Tang Ning has at least nine ways to deal with them.
I hope Italians can understand whose Brazil is Brazil?
If you know the truth, you are still our Latin brother. If you don’t, don’t blame me for using thunderbolt tactics.
In the three southern states of Brazil, as long as the Italians are held back, they will be fine. The Germans are just lambs to be slaughtered.
The three southern states don't have to worry about it. Let's boil the frog in warm water first. When World War I breaks out, Tang Ning will learn from the Americans.
During World War I, the United States actually sided with Britain from the beginning. As the war progressed, the Americans completely sided with the Allies.
In the domestic political landscape of the United States, although the Anglo-Saxons were the majority before World War I, there were too many other ethnic groups in the United States, so they actively attracted Germans.
However, as time goes by, the political share of Germans is getting larger and larger, which threatens the Angsa people.
The shrewd Ansa people, after pushing the country to join World War I, immediately purged the Germans in the name of patriotism.
A set of punches that had been planned for a long time directly hit the Germans, inciting all ethnic groups to hate them, closing all media where Germans could make their voices heard and schools that cultivate national character, and launching an attack on their businesses.
From the inside out, they began to attack the Germans. Without the support of their mother country, the Germans fell to their knees completely.
Later, when World War II broke out, the German-American soldiers performed so well in battle that they even provided a Rhenish camp for the defeated German soldiers.
Tang Ning actually hates the Angsa people, but their methods are really powerful.
The excellent operations of the Anglo-Saxons can be learned with humility. Facing the Germans in Brazil who are proud of the German Empire, Tangning will definitely take action.
During the surgery, Tangning decided to respect the originality. When the United States took action, Brazil followed up humbly.
Oh, by the way, there are many little Japanese in Brazil. I heard that there are more than 100,000 people?
Although the Japanese do not dominate the overall population in Brazil, and later generations have also integrated into Brazil, it is different now, and they still have a strong national character.
It seems that Your Highness Tangning needs to strike hard at the Japanese!
