Chapter 31 Marching into Rio de Janeiro

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 No. 9, after "What is the Brazilian Dream" came out, the Rio de Janeiro government also reacted.

Seeing the protests in Rio de Janeiro one after another and Tangning's aggressiveness, the Republican government no longer hesitated and decided to take a heavy blow.

All police forces are dispatched!

The capital police force under the control of the government dispatched 500 people to arrest the ringleaders and shut down the newspaper office, and dispatched 3,500 people to begin to use force to suppress the protestors and the capital stronghold of Braganza.

In addition to the Capital Guard, the Republican government also dispatched nearly 5,000 army troops to the state of Sao Paulo, preparing to completely suppress the Braganza forces there.

At the same time as the army was dispatched, Brazil also used the navy and issued an order to the navy to march to Sao Paulo. If Braganza was ready to resist with force, it would assist the army in suppressing it.

The Republican government's response is not slow, but the transmission of orders takes time, and Tang Ning does not lack internal response.

The republican government in Rio de Janeiro has never been monolithic. There are various forces, and Tang Ning has already placed personnel.

Brazil is a liberal democracy on the surface and in theory, but in fact it pursues an oligarchy.

The central government is corrupt and incompetent, and local forces are rampant. Rio de Janeiro is pulling in the coffee forces in Sao Paulo, Bahia, Minas Gerais and other states, and it is with many local forces in inland states such as Southern State, Northern State, and Minas Gerais.

, play against each other.

Due to cultural and wealth restrictions, less than 6% of the country's population had the right to vote. Also, only wealthy families at that time had the right to vote and be elected.

On the surface, the republican government has done well in political elections.

From the outside, since the beginning of the Republic, only the Republicans in São Paulo and Minas Gerais have taken turns in power, and the Republican Party in Rio de Janeiro has only been in power once. The other political parties seem to be weak and have not been able to continue to govern during this period.

Get a taste of what it's like to be in power.

On the surface, balancing political elections is all nonsense.

The so-called Republican Party of São Paulo and the Republican Party of Minas Gerais actually have many members who have registered names, and most of them are Rio de Janeiro forces.

What is selling dog meat on sheep’s head?

This is it!

It is said that it is a duo, but in fact many times it is an internal factional struggle, just using two skins to cause trouble.

The current president of the government is Afonso Augusto Moreira Pena, Republican of Minas Gerais.

On the surface, he comes from the state of Miras Gerais, which is dominated by pastoral industry, and should be a representative of the pastoral industry, but in fact, his background is coffee power, and he is a sheep-headed representative.

It's just that this person, while maintaining the coffee trade, came into contact with the animal husbandry industry and wanted to ease the relationship.

Historically, he was the first Brazilian president to die in office, and the first Brazilian president to advocate intervention in the coffee economy.

Under his leadership, the federal government began to purchase coffee with excess production capacity, thereby maintaining high coffee prices in the international market. Pena also promoted the expansion of railways and the development of transportation inland.

On the surface, this person's political performance is very good, but in fact he is still a coffee power. Everything is focused on stabilizing coffee. In order to maintain the stability of the coffee trade, he does not hesitate to use state power to escort, stabilize prices, and protect the interests of farm owners.

Afonso Pena, who comes from an inland state, actually has a profound background in the coastal coffee power, but he is also visionary and knows how to ease the pastoral power of Mizhou, build a railway to the inland, give them some desserts, and prepare to assimilate them.<

/p>

Afonso Pena came to power in 1906. Although he was old, he was still very discerning and knew that to catch the thief first, catch the king.

But unfortunately, Tangning is not the kind of indecisive idiot who fails to succeed but fails to succeed. He was fully prepared this time.

After receiving the order from the president to prepare for a crackdown from the traitor, Tangning immediately prepared for a military operation to march into the capital a day later.

November 9, 2 pm.

Tang Ning's armed force, the "National Protectorate Army", with the cooperation of undercover traitors, took control of a military camp with hundreds of people in Sao Paulo state in less than 15 minutes.

Regarding the navy, Tang Ning had already infiltrated them like a sieve and quickly had them under control.

The military, in backward countries, relies on its own characteristics of order and defense. The more contact it has with the outside world, the more people with national missions will be born, who are eager to change the country.

In South Korea and Egypt, strong soldiers who changed the destiny of the country came to power, which are typical military governments of this type.

Although the Republic has reduced the number of its army, with the regular land army numbering only around 20,000, it has not reduced its navy too much.

The navy is the symbol of a powerful country in this era. In order to compete with Chile and Argentina, Brazil has a large naval fleet. Even later in 1910, the navy ordered three battleships from the United Kingdom.

The navy has a strong mission in this era, and most of its people are knowledgeable and have many knowledgeable people.

The navies in Europe at this time were extremely powerful. The Brazilian navy was influenced by the British. It was very envious of the British system and had many pro-Europeans.

This is Europe before World War I. There are monarchies all over the country, and the power of the monarchs is strong. Tang Ning has already begun to infiltrate the navy. The two-pronged approach of gold, yuan and propaganda has obvious effects.

November 9, 3 pm.

After taking control of the state of Sao Paulo and the navy, Tang Ning officially announced his oath and marched to Rio de Janeiro.
