Tangning, don't you think the Portuguese have any problems now?
What happened to the nation’s arrogance and excessive self-confidence?
All you need is to be proud and confident!
Show your edge when it's time to show it, don't hide it!
Since the end of the Napoleonic Wars, the Portuguese colonial empire split into Portugal and Brazil due to regional conflicts, and the Portuguese have declined.
Portugal lost Brazil, its national power was weakened, and its international voice dropped sharply. It could not even keep the rainbow map of Africa, and Brazil was not much better. It went from being the undisputed hegemon of South America to being parallel to Chile and Argentina.
The Portuguese have been in decline for too long, and their national self-confidence has been severely reduced!
Now it has finally reunited Portugal, Brazil, and the Algarve, and it has also dominated South America and the Iberian Peninsula.
As the empire grew stronger and national power rose again, the Portuguese's national recognition and national self-confidence, manipulated by facts and public opinion, came back again, and it was higher than any previous period in history!
What Pedro III promised his subjects to make Brazil and Portugal great again has become a reality, and Portugal has stood up again in the world!
Nowadays, Portugal is not a small player in the world, but a small country that does not matter. Now every time Portugal speaks out in the world, both big and small countries must listen and analyze it.
How could Portugal have such a grand occasion in the past? Its external statements were like farts, and no country listened!
Guinea, the Congo River Basin, and the Zambezi River Basin were clearly discovered, claimed, and occupied by Portugal. As a result, those European countries stopped talking about international law at this time and pretended not to hear it at all.
France and Britain simply turned a deaf ear. Guinea was squeezed into a small area directly along the coast, and the Zambezi River Basin in the middle of the rainbow map became someone else's Rhodesia.
Even Belgium, which is smaller than Portugal, dared to invade the Congo. Portugal was obviously the first to develop the Congo. In the end, the country was divided between France and Belgium.
“Helen, we Portuguese know what to do! We know what not to do!
Like Britain, which dominates the world, our Portuguese citizens are not that ambitious, and they are not that stupid!
Portugal's imperial subjects thought nothing more than to control South America next, and then Latin America as well.
Except for Belgium, we have no conflicts with the European powers. Our biggest opponent is the United States, which is now very powerful but isolated and helpless!
As for the people’s expectation of surpassing Austria-Hungary in three or four years, I think it is not impossible. Who can say accurately about things in this world?”
When the First World War broke out, the whole of Europe did not expect it to break out so hastily.
When the First World War begins, Portugal is basically on the outside. It will not be easy to surpass Austria-Hungary in a short time!
As for the war being over, whether the Austro-Hungarian Empire can still exist is a question! What about economic recovery?
Forget it!
Even if the world line changes!
If the First World War is postponed to five years and breaks out ten years later, Portugal will be able to surpass Austria-Hungary in the second five-year plan.
With the combination of planning and market economy, Portugal, as large as it is, cannot surpass Austria-Hungary, which has a complex ethnic composition, within five years, so it might as well be killed by a piece of tofu!
Just by selling minerals and resources, Portugal can improve a lot of its economy!
"My brother's ability is indeed beyond my imagination. Portugal is like this, and our people absolutely believe in you now!" Helen said with emotion.
Although this baby brother has been outstanding since he was a child, every performance and breakthrough he makes is beyond people's imagination.
From the beginning, the family's greatest hope was that through his marriage to Luxembourg, he would transform the exiled royal family of Braganza into the orthodoxy of a country.
Tangning fulfilled her family's expectations and completed the transformation of orthodoxy, but this transformation was too huge!
Tang Ning proposed to invade Brazil, and then took over the inheritance rights of the Brazilian royal family, and then successfully restored Brazil. Finally, he legally took over the Kingdom of Portugal and reintegrated the divided Portugal!
As the king of a country, Tang Ning's methods of governing the country were better than those of Napoleon III, who was said to be the best at governing the country, and he completed the reshaping and rise of the country in a shorter time than him.
“As the king of a founding country, he should set an example for his people and guide his subjects to believe and follow him through his words, deeds and practice.
Now that Portugal's strategy has been completed, our position in Braganza is deeply rooted in Portugal. When the time comes, constitutional government will officially begin.
In fact, constitutional government is quite good. The parliament and the cabinet are in front, and we operate from behind. The more we do, the more mistakes we make. Even if something bad happens, there are still people who take the blame for the royal family.
And even if there are descendants later who are not interested in power, relying on the long-lasting organizational structure, military and supervisory presence, coupled with the royal family’s far-reaching influence on the people, we in Bulacan will not be afraid of being overthrown.”
Tang Ning has always been very confident and has always believed that the empire will be great again. If the subjects show their confidence and efforts, the country and nation will stand on top of the world again.
After a long period of decline, the subjects were skeptical at first, but they still listened to the leadership arrangements of His Majesty the Emperor and the government, and worked hard for the development of themselves and the country.
Today, Portugal has indeed become great again, and the Portuguese people have truly become a strong nation. Their national and national self-confidence is no weaker than that of Britain, France, and Germany in Europe.
Tangning Pedro is not a person with a great desire for power. When the country is on the right track, he will definitely let go of power and let go when it is time to do so.
A person's energy is limited. Being a dictator is extremely mentally taxing, and if you do too much, you will always make mistakes. This will affect the influence of the emperor and the royal family. If this continues, sooner or later it will overturn.
Just like now, in his New Year's speech, Emperor Pedro III announced that the five-year period of military rule has ended and the five-year period of tutelage has begun.
The so-called political training refers to the five-year transition period from the current military government to constitutional government.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This political discipline is of course based on actual actions, rather than the long-term shameless implementation of the chairman's signature.
Provisional laws during the military period began to be abolished step by step, and the "1912 Imperial Constitution" was implemented.
Organizations and leaders in various important places broke away from military control and began to shift to normal operations in accordance with the law.
The powers of the Parliament, courts, and Control Yuan were strengthened, and they officially began to operate and dominate the country!
…
"Helen, you are an adult, why haven't I heard about you being in love? We have not hindered your free love!
In mid-January, I am going to travel around the world. Do you want to accompany me to see the world and see if you can meet the man you like in the process?"
"Stop pressing me. You all said you let me take charge of your own feelings, so don't ask!"
Helen has no intention of falling in love now, and has not met anyone who satisfies her. She is still young and is not in a hurry. Of course, she will do things that interest her when she has time.
"Okay, that's up to you!"
Tangning is not in a hurry about Helen's personal feelings. She is still young now, so she is just urging her out of habit!
"A round-the-world trip, do you want to join it?
Don’t always focus on animals and plants, go out and see more, and meet more people, so that you can meet the ones that suit you.”
Helen's hobby is to cultivate living things, whether they are animals or plants, as long as they are beautiful and catch her eye, she will cultivate them, and she will even be happy to write papers for them!
This hobby may have started when Helen came to Brazil and came into contact with pumas. During the process of raising pets, she awakened her desire to breed them.
"I will go there. I have studied enough things in South America and Iberia. I will go to various parts of the world to see. Maybe there are some I like, and I will bring them back.
Brother, when I need money, don’t be stingy!"
Helen's breeding hobby is actually very expensive, especially after she organized a biological breeding association, she spent even more money.
"Be careful when buying and selling. Don't be fooled. I have money, but I don't spend it casually!"
The royal family was not short of money, and Helen's hobby was not a vicious one. Tangning generously paid a large sum of money for his sister.
Not only is it a matter of money, but also if there are some breeding difficulties, Tang Ning will also help.
Sometimes, when Helen encounters some difficulties in raising animals, Tang Ning relies on her own knowledge and helps if she can!
