"Near the islands of Bali, there is East Timor controlled by Braganza. It is just right to give it to us."
Tangning analyzed the potential reasons why her father acquired these islands to Charlotte and Helen.
"Our Miguel Braganza royal family, as everyone knows, is half German aristocracy.
Our family has very good relations with the nobles of the German Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the Duchy of Luxembourg, and we have married each other.
Now our Miguel family has returned to Portugal, and has a deeper relationship with the Gotha royal family, and has a good relationship with the United Kingdom.
Portugal is a long-term ally of Britain. No one will object to giving small islands like Bali to us.
After all, not everyone dares to take this place now, but if you want to offend the German royal family, who is not an acquaintance?"
As Tangning said this, she couldn't help but laugh.
"My father is a bad guy in the aristocratic circle.
After all, this place has been in a stalemate, which is not good for Britain, France, Germany, or the Netherlands, but no one takes the blame, which makes all parties very embarrassed.
Our old father takes over at the right time, and all parties can step down."
"So that's it!"
Charlotte and Helen suddenly understood.
East Timor and the Lesser Sunda Islands, this place is very important, very close to Australia.
What Australia fears most in the East is actually not the Eastern Kingdom, but Indonesia, which became independent from the Dutch East Indies.
Although Indonesia is inconspicuous in the eyes of big countries, its status on the world stage is not low.
Indonesia has a large land area and a poor economy, but it is considered a leading figure among ASEAN, Southeast Asia, and non-aligned countries.
Indonesia and Australia are very close, and they act very domineeringly and have a strong desire to expand. East Timor was swallowed up by Portugal just after it became independent.
This move frightened Australia.
Australia has a population of over 20 million. Although Indonesia is not that great, where is its size?
With a population of over 100 million and a territory of over a million, although the economy is worse than Australia, the overall sense of oppression is still strong.
You can say that.
Australia has always been paying attention to Indonesia, fearing that he would do something extraordinary and that there would be major turmoil in this country.
Fight, you can’t fight!
Scold, don’t dare to scold loudly!
This green forest country with a population of 100 million is really in trouble. There is a wave of refugees, and the first country to be affected is Australia.
Who made Australia so rich!?
Australia is concerned about Indonesia, and Indonesia is also coveting Australia's body. East Timor, caught in the middle, is the stage of conflict between the two parties.
Although East Timor is rich in resources and surrounded by a lot of oil, Indonesia does not lack oil and Australia does not lack resources. The confrontation between the two countries in this place is not at all superficial resource interests.
East Timor's resources are not a trigger at all, because the destination of this place is a matter of strategic direction for the two countries.
Nowadays, the Lesser Sunda Islands including East Timor belong to Braganza, and Tangning is also attracted by this heaven-given land of Australia.
If you are not moved, there is nothing you can do!
Tangning, if you admit that you are despicable, you are greedy for Australia.
However, we can't blame Tang Ning for not being human.
Australia, this makes everyone’s heart beat!
With East Timor in hand, Tang Lin didn't pay much attention to it before. He had always focused on Brazil and Europe, but now he has time to do it.
Today's Australia is very weak, and now is the time to intervene.
Australia currently has only six regions: New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia and Tasmaria, and its population is even pitifully small.
In 1914, before the outbreak of World War I, Australia had a population of only four million.
Although Brazil and the greater Algarve, now under the control of the Tangning family Braganza, have a population of over 30 million, they are also vast and sparsely populated.
With a large area of land that has not yet been developed and a lack of population, it is unrealistic to plan for all of Australia.
What's more, the British and Australians are not stupid, it's really difficult to control them.
Braganza, which onion? It also deserves to plot the whole of Australia.
However, Tang Ning doesn’t need the whole of Australia, and she doesn’t have the ability to want it all.
In Australia, the population center is in the east, while the essence of mineral resources is in the west, which has always been sparsely populated.
In later generations, Western Australia, including the Northern Territory and Western Australia, which broke away from South Australia, had a population of less than 3 million in the 21st century.
In the current era, South Australia plus Western Australia have a population of over 500,000.
A mere 500,000 people, occupying such a vast western area, seemed to Tang Ning to be very unworthy.
Virtue is not worthy!
Naturally, the virtuous will live there!
Tang Ning is not talented, but I think Braganza still has some capital.
In this era, Western Australia, South Australia, and Mastania were really poor, especially Western Australia.
Some elites in the east believe that it is good for Australia to cover the entire continent, and giving some benefits to the west is conducive to unity, so they give some benefits to the west, but the people do not think so.
These three states have always been looked down upon by the people of the eastern states of Victoria and New Wales, calling them vampires and drag monsters.
They don't even look down on South Australia and Tasmania, which are just around the corner, let alone Western Australia, which is even poorer.
Western Australia is the focus of insults from the two state capitals, Sydney and Melbourne, because they are not bordering each other, and the insults are particularly enjoyable.
In fact, not only the people, but also many elites changed their mentality after Western Australia joined the Federation in 1901, and began to hate Western Australia.
Western Australia, in protest, voted to secede from the Australian Federation in a referendum in 1933. The votes were counted, but in the end they still did not secede.
Because of poverty!
Western Australians are poor and have short ambitions. In this era, they really rely on the food from the east. It's okay to be arrogant, but if you really want to separate the family, forget it.
In later generations, Western Australia became rich, but it was even more difficult to leave. With such a big mine, the east can still let you leave.
In Western Australia, Tasmania and South Australia, there are about 500,000 people, and they are still places where people are discriminated against.
Tang Ning believes that it is possible to squeeze in a small number of people and immigrate here, and then it should not be difficult to influence and control the place through some means.
By the time of World War I, Tang Ning and all the powerful countries were busy encouraging these poor places to become self-reliant. It should be easy to think about it.
The eastern and western parts of Australia are obviously at odds from the beginning to the end. They are actually a team-up, driven by some social elites, and have no basis in public opinion.
In the West, it is not difficult to stand on its own feet. There is a public opinion base in Australia, but it is easier in the UK, as long as it does not break away from the UK.
Don’t you see, Newfoundland, a small place like that, was financially bankrupt and had no choice but to sell itself into slavery in Canada with the help of the British!
For Western Australia to stand on its own feet, the most difficult thing is that it is poor, which makes its bones weak. It is scolded by the east and dares not to stand alone.
Today, in Western Australia, oil, coal, iron ore, copper ore, silver ore and other reserve minerals have not been discovered and developed on a large scale.
The only thing that can be obtained is a gold mine, but this is nothing in Australia!
In Australia, there are particularly many gold mines in the eastern part of the country. Melbourne is known as the Gold Mountain, and its direct counterpart is San Francisco, both of which made their fortunes on the Gold Mountain.
Don’t talk about the gold mines in Western Australia. With this little capital, if you want to talk to the east, you can go anywhere!
If you have the ability, don’t shout slogans, just be independent!
Obviously Western Australia at this time does not have that ability.
Australia is really a resource-rich place, whether it is in the east or west, the resources are actually quite rich.
Western Australia will become world-famous in the future because it has a huge amount of high-quality iron ore.
Before the discovery of high-quality iron ore, Australia was an iron-poor country with only a few small iron ores in the east, which were listed as strategic resources.
The reason why Western Australia turned around was because of the strategic resource of iron ore.
The Portuguese immigrated to Western Australia, and Braganza took control of Western Australia. It's really not too simple. Tangning is very easy to operate.
Australia is a country of immigrants. The main population comes from Western and Southern European countries, and it has always encouraged Europeans to immigrate here.
What is the relationship between Portugal and Britain?
500 years old!
Now Portugal is poor and its people are very poor, which is very famous in Europe.
The Portuguese can't survive, so two to three hundred thousand people will immigrate to Australia. Is it okay?
The Portuguese want a place to go, but Australia is short of people. Immigrants come there. This is a win-win situation for all parties, right?
Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the east has been suffering for a long time!
As a philanthropic person, Tang Ning has plenty of means to make them rich. He only needs to open a few companies there to bring wealth to the local area.
There is no need to develop iron ore, it is too dangerous.
Developing iron ore will make Australia completely attach importance to the west, causing them to not let go.
Based on Tang Ning's knowledge, is it possible to make hundreds of thousands of people rich without some means? Is this difficult?
Western Australia, South Australia and Western Australia actually lack markets.
The mineral and animal husbandry exports in the west are being suppressed by the more populous east. Now Tang Ning has decided to bring some people to help.
Backward Australia!
The royal family of Braganza has decided to bring sunshine to you!
