Chapter 38 News from Portugal

 "Oh, it turns out to be Manuel II. The toad wants to eat swan meat!"

In the garden of the "Palace of Guanabara" renamed "Palace of Renaissance", Helen, who was swinging on the swing with the help of Charlotte, talked about the reason why she came to Brazil this time.

"Yes, brother, this stinky pervert has been stalking me and it's really annoying."

Helen pouted her lips angrily and cursed angrily. She had just succeeded King Manuel II of Portugal.

"This guy, who just lost his father and brother, has only been King of Portugal for nine months, and he is already pursuing me. He hopes to continue to marry into our family. It's really a beautiful idea."

"Want to continue the marriage? This guy has to decide whether he is worthy or not!"

Tangning was very disdainful of Manuel II who overestimated his abilities and pursued his precious sister.

"Luis Felipe is my sister's marriage partner.

Now that he has been assassinated and killed, the marriage is over. Manuel II, the poor king, is worthy of marrying our family.

Even if he is a king, so what? Am I not a king?"

"My father and mother said so too. Who would care about the King of Portugal!"

Helen fully agreed with her brother's words.

"Father, in fact, I have already hinted.

It's just that I was embarrassed to talk to him because of my relatives. I didn't expect that he didn't understand his own abilities at all, and still pursued me beyond his capabilities.

His ability is far inferior to that of his brother Luis Felipe. His brother is not worthy of marrying me, so can he?"

"Brother, I was really annoyed by him, so my father secretly asked me to come here to avoid the limelight.

But, I didn’t expect that when I came to Brazil by boat, you actually became the king of Brazil and restored the Kingdom of Brazil. You are really amazing.”

Helen's eyes were shining as she looked at Tangning with admiration. She admired her brother so much. Her brother was as outstanding as ever.

"When I came to the palace, I walked around Rio de Janeiro and found that the people here are so supportive of you!

Especially the citizens, workers, and farmers are full of praise for you, thinking that you are the king of the people, working hard to make the country rich and powerful."

"Of course, you don't even know who I am!"

Tang Ning picked up the tea cup on the tea tray on the stone table, took a sip, then relaxed her brows and continued.

"Well, can you tell me about the important things that have happened in Portugal since the assassination on February 1?"

"Brother, are you so concerned about this rotten country like Portugal?"

Helen didn't understand why her brother paid so much attention to Portugal, a messy country.

"Brother, you are now the King of Brazil, and you will also be the Prince of Luxembourg in the future.

Father, he no longer expects his family’s right to inherit the throne of Portugal. He is still staying in the Algarve because of his sense of responsibility. He just wants to benefit the people in his territory."

"Tell me about the situation, I'm just curious about the shape of Portugal."

Facing him, his brother Tangning looked interested. As his younger sister, Helen would certainly not disappoint him.

"What else?

On February 1st, King Carlos I and his royal family set off from the palace and rode an open carriage on the streets of Lisbon.

While passing through the commercial plaza, someone was waiting for an opportunity to assassinate me. Their defense facilities were too poor.

The incompetent and tyrannical King Carlos I was shot and killed on the spot; Luis Felipe was seriously wounded and died two hours later; Manuel the Toad was lucky, and was only hit in the arm by a bullet.

.

The murderer was quickly caught. Investigation revealed that they were two rebellious people who resented the king. Their background was not found and the Republicans did not admit it. These two guys were quickly executed."

"The two gangsters have no background, they are just lying!"

Charlotte, I don’t believe that there is no driving force behind these two rebellious officials. The second princess of Luxembourg, who has grown up, will never believe this rhetoric.

"Also, why do you want to kill him so quickly?

Even if you are really not a republican, you can still use this opportunity to cleanse them!"

Charlotte watched her master perform one operation after another in Brazil, especially the recent assassination incident. It was simply a stroke of genius!

Manuel II is really a scumbag with no political consciousness at all. Sooner or later, such a person will be driven out of power by the republicans, or even die a violent death.

"Tch! That toad's level is very poor. It's not even close to my brother's level.

As soon as my father came to his senses and wanted to help him, he killed two people. I really couldn't help him even if I wanted to."

As for Manuel II's political level, Helen was so shocked by all the operations he saw that she didn't know what to say.

"This guy was frightened by the republicans as soon as he became king.

He was even worse than his father. At least Carlos I knew how to use people he could trust, while Manuel II, who had been fed some ecstasy by the republicans, actually stayed away from the monarchists.

Not long after taking the throne, Manuel II dismissed the monarchist Joao Franco and his entire cabinet, and invited Admiral Amaral to form a cabinet with the Ennahda Party and the Progressive Party.

The monarchists were all furious with him, and the liberal republicans and socialists became even more arrogant, pressing harder and harder on this idiot.

Manuel II, this guy has no qualifications to be a king. He is so oppressed and still stays away from the monarchists. He is really stupid."

"Ah! Is this something a king can do?"

Charlotte couldn't understand what Manuel II did.

"Being oppressed like this by the Republicans is a fool who knows how to use the power of the monarchists to check and balance them, but why is he relying more and more on hostile forces."

"Maybe I was frightened by the Republican assassination, so I agreed to their request almost without any bottom line." Tangning expressed her opinion.

Tangning didn't know much about the Gotha royal family in Portugal. His girlfriend in his previous life was from a branch of the Miguel royal family in Bulacan. He was also a member of the Miguel royal family when he traveled back in time. He didn't know much about this royal family that had been cut off.<

/p>

In my previous life, I heard my girlfriend Catherine complain by chance that Manuel II was a softie, a Stockholm patient, and a toy of the republicans.

"Brother's guess was correct. When Aunt Isabel went to see him, she found that there were republicans among his bodyguards.

This republican did not look like a guard at all. He always said some vague threats to him. With some hints from the guard, Manuel II quickly ended the meeting.

Manuel II, who has been frightened by the republicans, is now a puppet on a string."

Helen, from the stories of family members and the news she watched, discovered that Manuel II really had no opinion at all.

Stay away from the monarchists, be close to the republicans, and trust them so much that you let them form a cabinet to lead the country without saying a word.

"The level of those republicans is not very good. They fight for power and gain all day long."

Helen looked down upon these people very much and did not see them at all. What is the way to truly benefit the Portuguese people?

This group of people keeps arguing without actually taking any action. The only thing they have in common is that they keep bullying the king.

"The cabinet has been dissolved and reorganized three times, and the country is in a mess.

Faced with one after another troubles, those republicans blamed each other one by one. In the end, these guys were quite unanimous. As long as there was a mistake, they would all blame it on Manuel II.

Manuel II, this fool doesn’t know the explanation, he has always been submissive, and he has not asked for help.”

Manuel II is not without support. The domestic monarchists, the royal family of Miguel Braganza, and the royal families of the United Kingdom, Bulgaria, and Gotha in Belgium are all helping.

In the final analysis, today's Europe is still ruled by a monarchy. Even France has three royal families. If it weren't for wrangling, they would have come to power long ago.

Helen finally asserted: "Manuel II is hopeless, and the Kingdom of Portugal will perish in his hands in less than five years!"

"Well, sister, I agree with your judgment."

Of course Tang Lin knew that the fate of this good-for-nothing was exactly as Helen expected.

Next to the calendar is Manuel II, this loser who was king for two years and was deposed by a coup in 1910.

After stepping down, it was clear that with so much help, he could safely restore his power, but in the end Manuel II, who was afraid of retaliation and fearful of death, did not dare to take any action.

France is an old revolutionary base. The three royal families are operating openly and openly, and no one is seen cowarding the republicans.

The Portuguese republican forces were nothing compared to the French republican forces, so they just bullied Manuel II, a rare softie.

If there were several royal families in France, Orleans would be the last one. With Manuel in this situation, and with so much help, the republicans would have been crushed long ago.
