Such a performance by His Majesty the Emperor will make countries around the world misunderstand that Portugal will form an alliance with Japan.
"Let them misunderstand, this is exactly what I need.
Japan is very important to Portugal. Although their economic value is limited, their military and diplomatic value is very high.
But Constantine, you have to remember one thing, Portugal will not ally with any country, that is not necessary, it will drag us into a war, but we can achieve it through ambiguous means such as military, economic, and diplomatic preferential treatment.
Some purpose.”
To be honest, Portugal has now gained dominance over South America, the Imbian Peninsula, and part of Africa. It can be said that its strategic goals have almost been completed.
Today, as long as Portugal can deal with the remaining resistance in South America, its right to speak in the world will be very important.
Tangning Pedro has never expected Portugal to dominate the world. That is unrealistic, but if Portugal can occupy an important position in the world and establish local hegemony, it is still possible to compete with the United States north and south.
"We in Portugal do not want to participate in Japan's military diplomacy in the Far East. The Far East is not the focus of our interests, but we must actively promote Japan's dispute with the United States in the Pacific, even if it requires sacrificing some interests.
Although Portugal looks big now, it is actually very weak and industrialization has not been completed.
Now Portugal can superficially confront the United States in the North and South divisions of the American continent, only because the United States has not realized their potential.
The United States is more industrialized than us, has a larger population, and a larger economy than us, which means its territory is smaller than ours, and its national issues are bigger than ours.
This is a terrible enemy, no matter how cautious you are when facing him, what we have to do is to make more enemies for him.
Those who can cause trouble for the United States are Japan and the United Kingdom. However, the United Kingdom has little dispute with the United States now, and the United States does not have the courage to annex Canada. Although Japan is small, it can actually interfere with and threaten the United States' strategy.
expansion.
Therefore, for Japan, we in Portugal must support their navy and help them economically to get rid of their influence on the United States, so that they dare to compete for interests with the United States."
In fact, there is something that Tangning Pedro did not say, that is, sooner or later, Britain will decline due to the two wars and go back to the British Isles. Even Ireland dares to sing the opposite tune to him.
And Japan will also decline in World War II and become a lackey of the United States.
But in this world, Tang Ning wants to turn Japan into Portugal's loyal Akita dog and make a big profit.
At the Allied Forces Conference in World War II, although the three giants of Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union planned the world, in fact the United States and the Soviet Union had begun to gradually become polar opposites.
During World War II, Portugal of course wanted to join the Allied Powers, so Portugal also had a share in dividing the spheres of influence.
What Portugal wants to do is to gain control of Japan, no matter what method it is, even if it means giving up its interests in Germany and Italy, or even colluding with the Soviet Union.
Japan has been an important part of the world since the Meiji Restoration. Even after losing World War II, Japan has not fallen off the world stage.
Let the United States control Japan, with Japan as a blood bag, and Britain and the Commonwealth countries as lackeys, Portugal's capital against the United States will be small.
However, if Japan becomes Portugal's dog and blood bag, it will be able to straighten its back when facing the United States.
Before the real rise of Eastern powers in the 21st century, Japan is of course the one that can provide Portugal with energy and the strongest support to fight against the United States.
From now on, Tangning Pedro will treat Japan as a pet Akita, cultivating a good relationship and making it easier to use him in the future.
