 On November 9, Rio de Janeiro, Liberty Square was once again crowded with protestors, and the noise was loud.

"Give me back my farmland!"

"No coffee plantation expansion!"

"Stop oppressing Italians!"

"Down with the big landowners!"

"Japanese are also Brazilians!"

"Black people are human beings too!"

"Open the land for reclamation!"

"National equality!"

"Oppose the dictatorship of Rio de Janeiro!"

"Respect the landlocked states!"

"Oppose force to suppress people's voices!"

"Oppose land annexation!"

"Develop animal husbandry!"

"Solve people's poverty!"

"Please give farmers a piece of land!"

"Build transportation in landlocked states!"

"Develop industry and commerce!"

"Give the three southern states equal independence and freedom!"

"Pay attention to the development of the north, the north is also a part of Brazil!"

……

Since November 2, in Rio de Janeiro, people with various purposes have come to Freedom Square every day to protest against the government and make their voices heard.

There are many political voices, coming from a variety of groups, and it is clear that this protest is a joint action.

The most powerful people in the protests are farmers with little or no land.

Farmers ask the government to prohibit the expansion of plantation owners, restrict the cultivation of coffee, oppose land annexation, and want to open up land for reclamation and realize land for the tiller.

In addition, the political demands of the urban poor, manual workers, industrial and commercial forces, inland state forces, three southern state forces, northern state forces, and various immigrant ethnic groups are equally deafening.

In fact, there have been more and more voices opposing and protesting against the Rio de Janeiro government not long after the founding of the Republic.

However, each protest was small-scale and unorganized, and lacked joint actions from various groups.

Tang Ning studied in Paris, but is well aware of the protests and resistance methods in the old revolutionary areas.

Tangning has witnessed Operation Yellow Vest, racial demonstrations, and industrial strikes with her own eyes, and the power of public opinion offensives and street revolutions.

When she arrived in Brazil, Tangning saw the personnel sent by her father to Brazil. The political propaganda was so overwhelming that she started holding knives in hand.

First of all, we must grasp two key points. Landless farmers and urban poor first started to brew and express their dissatisfaction with the government against the coffee industry and plantation owners, completely in public.

This operation started in August and has been gradually upgraded from small to large scale.

This brewing process went smoothly, and those who benefited from the coffee industry in the Republican government had not seen the incompetent rage of landless farmers and urban poor.

Every once in a while, they can witness the dissatisfaction and protests of farmers and poor people. It is as easy as dealing with cockroaches. The government has already had mature means of dealing with it.

Instead of engaging in demonstrations that involve riots and destruction, the government will ignore the voices of the people and send the police to disperse them. If there is violence in the protests, it will send the army to suppress them and beat them up.

The protests planned by Tang Ning among the landless farmers and urban poor will certainly not involve violence and give people a thumbs up. Moreover, when the police come to disperse, they will hide for a while, and then come out to protest again when the police are dispersed and tired.

Protests, like guerrillas, are never limited to one place, leaving the police with little to do.

At first, the protests by poor people only made their voices heard in Rio de Janeiro, but after Tangning found that Rio de Janeiro could not suppress it, she decisively spread the protests to various major cities.

Protests alone are not enough, public opinion offensive must also be launched.

The newspapers secretly controlled by the Braganza family expressed sympathy for farmers and urban civilians, listing and accusing the republican government of oppression and darkness.

There are still some conscientious newspapers in Brazil. Many people sympathize with the suffering of farmers and civilians, and have begun to reprint and accuse the government of oppression of farmers and inaction on urban conditions, criticizing the government for being dark.

Seeing that public opinion is against the Rio de Janeiro government and voices of sympathy have taken shape, Downing stepped up her efforts again!

Since the republican government came to power, among the mindless operations and various dark misconducts, the only ones that suppress the peasants and ignore the poor are?

Are Italians, Germans, Japanese, Orientals, blacks, Indians, mixed-race people, and even ordinary people of Portuguese descent less oppressed?

Are the inland states, the three southern states, and the northern states less oppressed by the coastal states headed by Rio de Janeiro?

The so-called Brazilian republican government shouted loud slogans when it was established. After its establishment, it quickly merged with large farmers, and it has never been right.

The Republic of Brazil is a country dominated by the interest class of a small number of large farmers. There are many means of oppression, and in many aspects it is simply inaction.

A republic of a small number of people is destined to have a lot of dissatisfaction. If there are thoughtful people under the control, it will be easy to overthrow it by using public opinion and popular power.

Tang Ning, who has witnessed the color revolution, came to this era and faced the unbearable Rio de Janeiro government. It was simply a dimensionality reduction blow.

Seeing that the government could not suppress the activities of poor farmers and citizens and began to dispatch the army to suppress them, Tang Ning doubled up.

Forces in inland states that have always been at odds with Rio de Janeiro jumped out directly to accuse the government of suppressing the people and expressed their dissatisfaction with the central government.

Following the forces from inland states, heavy labor workers such as dock workers and construction workers also came out to protest, followed by industrial and commercial forces dissatisfied with the coffee trade, and finally ordinary people living in poverty.

Tang Ning, this campaign has been very successful one after another. Media and public opinion have been controlled from the beginning, suppressing the voice of the coffee government.

As the protest grew stronger, some concerned people participated.

First of all, there are Italian and Japanese immigrants. The immigrants from these two ethnic groups did not have a good life in Brazil. Although they had no problem with food and clothing, they were severely oppressed in further development.

After these two immigrant ethnic groups emerged, blacks, Orientals, Germans and other ethnic groups also jumped out to complain about their oppression. Finally, the middle-lower Portuguese and mixed-race people also came out to suffer misfortune.

In addition to people who are not living well, northern states also come out to complain that the government does not pay attention to the north.

The three southern states, which have always been unsettled, took advantage of this opportunity and openly jumped out, complaining about the central government's oppression, demanding more space for independence, and paving the way for true independence.

Seeing that various forces were being stirred up and the public opinion offensive was fully formed, Tang Ning did not hide it, but covered it up and expressed her political voice.

The Kingdom of Brazil was overthrown in 1889. Now in 1908, less than 20 years after its demise, many people still remember the glory and life of the Kingdom of Brazil.

At that time, the public, instigated by liberals and big landowners, was disappointed with the Braganza royal family, disgusted with the king's incompetence and injustice, and believed that if the situation changed, everything in the country would be better.

But how could the people have imagined that when the kingdom turned into a republic, except for the big plantation owners who were getting fatter and fatter, everyone else would be sucked of blood and become as thin as bamboo poles.

As the heir to the Braganza royal family, Tangning has the orthodox inheritance rights of the Brazilian royal family.

The Braganza family has returned to Brazil for so long, been dormant for so long, and has given generous treatment to the hundreds of thousands of people working in farms, ranches, industries, construction, logistics, and commerce, as well as charity activities from time to time.

It’s all for nothing.

At this moment, everything was mobilized.

Public opinion first recalled the prosperity of the Kingdom of Brazil, then reported that Braganza was benevolent in Europe and America, and then reported that His Highness Downing's kindness and caring heart for the people came all the way from Europe to benefit the Brazilian people.

Some Brazilian people have actually known about Braganza for a long time, because there are many Brazilians in the Algarve, and their relatives also know about it.

Braganza returned to Brazil to develop his career, and many people can see the rapid development of Sao Paulo State.

Tang Ning told the family to keep a low profile at first, but now she no longer pretends to be a good person. She must let more people know about the goodness of the royal family.

Striving for hegemony of public opinion is not just a treat, it must be a heavy blow.

After all, Brazil has a population of 30 million. Among them, one or two million people know about the good things about the royal family, and the majority do not. This must be publicized.

Although the Kingdom of Brazil is worse, it is better than the current Republic. Farmers have land to farm, there are no large-scale poor people in the cities, and industry and commerce are also developing.

The current republic relies on the coffee industry as its pillar, while other planting industries have declined, animal husbandry lags behind Argentina, there is little industry, farmers have been reduced to serfs, and cities are crowded with poor people.

It's better than bad, the Republic is obviously bad!

There are so many people who have experienced the Kingdom of Brazil era. Twenty years have not passed, but it is still very easy to recall them now.

The public opinion media recalled the bitter experience and remembered the sweetness. Tang Lin launched hidden personnel in the private sector to propagandize that the Republic was a scumbag and put a filter on the Kingdom of Brazil. He could brag about it no matter how good it was.

Today's republican government, under Tang Ning's combination of punches, is simply like Satan and the devil. The people are living in dire straits and are in need of a savior.

Tang Ning first spoke out in the newspaper, saying that the royal family cares about the people, sympathizes with the people, and hopes that the government will do something instead of suppressing.

This speech, driven by thoughtful people, immediately excited the Brazilian people, and they began to look forward to Tang Ning's further actions.

As public opinion was brewing, people began to miss the Kingdom of Brazil and expected the royal family to take action. Tang Ningchou was right on time and published the content of "Brazilian Dream" in newspapers for ten consecutive days, explaining her political ideals and future goals.
