Under the protection of a battlecruiser formation, His Majesty the Portuguese Emperor Pedro III officially began his journey around the world.
"Travel, start!"
The ship's whistle sounded and the ship left the port. Tangning and Pedro shouted excitedly that the trip had started!
"Your Majesty, why has your voice changed? Is there something wrong with your mouth and throat?"
Queen Mary was a little surprised when she saw her husband suddenly changed his voice and shouted a slogan.
Is there something wrong with Tangning Pedro's mouth and throat?
"No, it just comes from arousal. There is nothing wrong with my throat."
"Your Majesty, why does our route for this trip start from Asia and Japan? Shouldn't Europe be an important destination?"
Mary was a little confused about Tangning's sudden change of route arrangements.
The initial route was to cross the Atlantic to visit Portuguese Africa, and then go north to Iberia Portugal.
Then he went north to visit Castile, Navarre, France, the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Russia.
After visiting Russia, he returned to Portugal and then entered the Mediterranean, visiting Lusitalia, Aragon, Italy, Greece, Ottoman Turkey, and Egypt.
Then pass through the canal, go south to the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean, visit the Portuguese Middle East territories, Persia, British India, British Malaysia, and then south to the Portuguese Nanyang Islands, Western Australia, and Eastern Australia.
Then go north to visit Macau, Oriental Country, Japan, then cross the Pacific to the Hawaiian Islands, then to Vancouver, Canada, then go south to visit the west coast of the United States, and then go all the way back to the west coast of Portugal.
After arriving in Ecuador on the west coast of Portugal, we landed and started traveling across the country again.
Now it is completely the opposite, starting from the opposite direction, going south from Rio de Janeiro through the strait, entering the Pacific Ocean, and starting from the west coast to travel around the world.
The reversal of course means an extra boring and dry sailing period before reaching the west coast of the United States.
"We just want to show Japan how much we value it.
The Japanese are very sensitive. They always think that we look down upon them and look down on their value.
This time I want to tell them that they are still very important to us in Portugal."
The cooperation between Japan and Portugal was considered equal at the beginning. However, with Portugal's rapid growth in strength, the two sides could no longer be equal.
In particular, Japan has fallen out with the United States, and Japan's relationship with Britain is no longer as good as before because of problems in the Far East. Now Japan is increasingly dependent on Portugal.
If the Portuguese economy sneezes, Japan will also be affected.
Japan's only advantage over Portugal was naval technology.
Due to their excessive need for others, the very sensitive Japanese began to feel inferior. However, the world situation is like this. Japan and Portugal have no strategic conflict and are the best and safest partners.
In terms of world economy and trade, if Japan does not choose Portugal, a safe country, no matter how much economic and trade it establishes with other countries, it will easily overturn.
In order to take care of the sensitive psychology of the Japanese and make better use of them, Pedro III will give Japan higher preferential treatment in some aspects.
For example, reducing tariffs and increasing the number of Japanese people in the Portuguese cabinet...
His Majesty Pedro III embarked on the first round-the-world journey, which is of course very important. From the direction of the ring, we can see how much the Portuguese emperor attached importance to other countries.
According to normal logic, Portugal must have started with Europe as the midpoint, but now it has changed the direction. After visiting the west coast, it goes straight to Japan.
"I always feel that my husband attaches too much importance to the small country of Japan. The center of the world is in Europe!"
Mary is a person close to Pedro, so she can naturally see that sometimes her husband treats Japanese people too favorably, even more than he treats people from European countries.
"The Japanese are good tools and good health packs. Once we, Portugal, completely control them, it will be easier for us, Portugal, to dominate the world."
It is not easy for the Japanese to use limited resources to become a world power. They have a small land and a large population, as well as many volcanoes and earthquakes.
Even if you are defeated, as long as you replenish some blood and resurrect with full blood like Xiaoqiang, you will be stronger.
In the original world, Japan was in decline, but it was still the third largest economy, which was a bit too weak.
It is not easy for the United States to suck the blood of the European Union. If Russia, a big sb, had not provoked the war, the EU would have been increasingly separated from the United States, and not many European countries cared much about NATO's so-called security.
Japan and South Korea are the most vulnerable countries for the United States to suck blood.
Portugal dominates the world, so why should it have a big health pack? Isn’t Japan very suitable?
Being sucked of blood can still maintain a certain body size. What an excellent blood pack this is.
If Portugal wants to take over from the United States in this world, it can't be so domineering towards Europe, and it certainly can't suck blood too frequently, so it can only let Japan come.
There are few countries in the world that are easier and more suitable than Japan.
"I still don't understand. In my opinion, Japan doesn't have the same expectations as you do.
But forget it, I don’t understand national affairs. Your Majesty, you are recognized by the world as a wise emperor, and you can do nothing wrong."
Although Mary looks down on Japan, this does not prevent her from supporting her husband Tangning Pedro's governing strategy.
"I have almost mastered the Japanese etiquette you asked me to practice. I hope the Japanese will be surprised and understand how much we value them."
As the queen of a country, Mary naturally also has diplomatic obligations. For example, on this trip, she needs to have a deeper understanding of the customs of other countries than her husband.
"Thank you for your hard work. As long as you do a good job on the surface, even if there are some mistakes, the Japanese will praise you to the sky!"
Don’t Tangning and Pedro understand the Japanese national character?
As long as their superior country shows a little respect to them, they will be very excited.
Although Portugal cannot be said to be Japan's superior country, it is still a higher status than them. The Japanese look up to Portugal's wealth and power.
Japan's overseas immigrants were mainly from Portugal's territories in the Americas. The immigrants made a lot of wealth here, and Japan also received huge foreign exchange.
Japan's dependence on Portugal has become increasingly heavy, and Japan cannot afford a deterioration in relations with Portugal.
"The West Coast of the United States has become more and more Iberian. Let's prepare well and give those who are looking forward to our arrival a little shock."
Many years have passed since Downing Pedro conquered the American West in 1906, and the political, economic, and cultural penetration has already reached a very deep level.
The Liberal Party's control of the western region is as solid as Mount Tai, and it has successfully represented the will of the entire western region.
Although the Liberal Party is small in the national political landscape and is one-sided, it can influence the political situation in the United States if it supports either the Republican or Democratic parties.
Why can the Democratic Party defeat the Republican Party and ascend to the top of the United States? Isn’t it because of the help of the Liberal Party?
After the American Civil War, the Democratic Party, which carries its own original sin, has never been re-elected, and it took a lot of effort to come to power.
The United States has never been a representative of unity. The South has a long history, but now the West is also gaining ground. It is really not easy for the North, the strongest country in the country!
Although the Republican Party sometimes represents the North and is too greedy, it is undeniable that they do represent American interests better in many cases and are very powerful outside.
