1909, January 1, 9:00.
It’s the New Year’s Day holiday, and the crowds on various avenues in the capital, Rio de Janeiro, are much larger than before.
New Year's Day is a rare holiday. Of course, Brazilian people go out of their homes and go out for various activities and leisure shopping. Pedestrians on the streets come and go.
"Happy New Year's Day to all Brazilian citizens!
I am your king, Downing Pedro João Miguel Gabriel Rafael de Braganza."
The crowd walking on the streets of the capital suddenly heard the king's voice coming from the loudspeaker. They were stunned for a moment, and then became excited.
"Ah! It's King Pedro."
"This recently installed loudspeaker can actually sound the voice of the respected king."
"Dad, it's the king, it's the king's voice!"
"King, you are wishing us a happy New Year!"
……
That's right, it was Tangning's voice that came out of the loudspeaker. Today he will deliver a New Year's Day speech in the new year.
The speakers on the street were installed before the World Cup. They use wired technology, not wireless that few people can use now.
In order to promote the World Cup and to publicize and report current affairs news to the Brazilian people in the future, Tang Ning established Brazil Cable Broadcasting.
In this era, wired broadcasting is more disseminable than wireless broadcasting, and the technology is more mature. Of course, Tang Ning will not let it go and will build it up.
Wireless broadcasting is a very new technology in this era, not yet mature enough, and expensive.
"Today is New Year's Day, the first day of 1909 and the real beginning of Brazil's decade of transition.
Brazil is the largest country in South America, but now it is with Argentina and Chile, two weak countries.
During the chaotic and corrupt republican period, the evil liberals led Brazil into a fiery hell and fell from its status as a powerful country.
However, the Brazilian people are sharp-eyed and resolute in character, and do not succumb to the oppression of darkness.
With the warm love and support of the glorious Brazilian people, we welcomed back the sacred and glorious royal family of Braganza and re-established the great Kingdom of Brazil.
I, Downing Pedro João Miguel Gabriel Rafael de Braganza, your Majesty Pedro III, know your demands and am willing to give everything for it.
You long for no poverty, no oppression, no corruption, no darkness, and a strong and prosperous country.
Your appeal is so simple, you just want the country to be rich and the people strong.
But after the liberals conspired to seize power, they oppressed you, made you lose your land, lost your job, fell into poverty, and brought the country and people into hell.
The evil free government has fallen, and the bright and holy Kingdom of Brazil has been re-established. As the king, I will lead Brazil to become stronger and bring you prosperity.
I, Pedro III, am willing to spend my whole life fighting to make Brazil rich and powerful.
Starting today, Brazil has officially entered a ten-year transition period. During these ten years, I will personally govern, establish national order, and bring Brazil to stability.
Ten years from now, Brazil will enter constitutional government, and you will gain glorious political rights to participate in Brazilian politics and supervise government governance.
During the ten-year transition period, Brazil will implement two five-year plans to initially solve people's poverty and work problems.
Within ten years, Brazil will achieve industrialization and agriculturalization, catch up with the European powers Austria-Hungary, and establish Brazil's leadership in South America.
For the industrialization of Brazil, the Royal Government will carry out a large number of infrastructure and factory construction.
There are now a large number of urban poor in Brazil. In this process, you will get jobs, get rid of the unemployed life, and move towards happiness and stability.
In terms of agriculture in Brazil, the Royal Government will continue to develop inland and build large collective farms.
In this process, the government, with the assistance of farmers' associations, will systematically organize many landless farmers to open up wasteland in the interior. In order for farmers to have a happy life, the state will provide funds and technology to build construction projects for farmers.
New home.
..."
Tang Ning's New Year's Day speech was well prepared and the manuscript was over 30,000 words long.
This speech is not only to promote the transition period, but also to give the Brazilian people a reassurance, letting them understand that the king and the government have not forgotten their promises.
The king and the government have set ambitious goals to make the country strong and the people prosperous, and are now working hard to achieve them. At the same time, they hope that the Brazilian people will give their full support in this process.
Starting at 9:00, Tang Ning gave an uninterrupted speech until 10:35, before entering the final topic.
This topic is like declaring war on Venezuela and re-establishing the power of Brazil as a great power.
"Brazil is the most powerful country in South America. As the king, I firmly believe in this, and the people also firmly believe in this.
However, we firmly believe that Brazil is the most powerful in South America, but some countries do not believe it and even provoke us.
Venezuela, a country with a territory of only 900,000 people and a population of about 3 million, is such a small country, and they are provoking our Kingdom of Brazil.
At the beginning of the reconstruction of the Kingdom of Brazil, this country supported Brazil’s evil republican government, declared the kingdom representing the people illegal, and blatantly interfered in the politics of our country.
In addition to interfering in Brazilian politics, this small country has boldly peeked into our territory and attempted to encroach on Guyana.
As we all know, according to historical legal principles, the Kingdom of Brazil owns most of South America, and Guyana should belong to us.
In fact, according to legal principles, not only Guyana, but also most of Venezuela should belong to Brazil.
During the Spanish colonial period, they took advantage of our lack of time to develop the Amazon region, and the evil ones extended their claws to Guyana.
Not satisfied with the erosion of the Oriloco River, they further encroached on the Guyana Western Plateau in the Amazon Basin.
We in Braganza, Portugal, and Brazil do not recognize this.
Venezuela, which inherited Spanish heritage, is not satisfied with what they have now, and actually wants to expand its occupation of Guyana and occupy the Eastern Guyana Plateau.
As a small country, Venezuela is very ambitious. It exceeds its own capabilities and challenges objects that it should not challenge.
They compete with the British for the Essequibo River Basin, and with us Brazil for the Western Guyana Plateau.
As a country with a population of only 3 million, but with such great ambitions, we cannot condone them.
If allowed, the Venezuelans will invade the entire Western Guyana and extend their greedy hands further into the Amazon basin plain.
This worry is not an exaggeration, it is a fact that is happening.
Since the establishment of the Kingdom of Brazil, the Venezuelan army has crossed the border between the two countries more than ten times and invaded Indian villages in Brazil.
Such plots were discovered by our glorious Brazilian Defense Forces, who defended the security of the country and villages and repelled the invading Venezuelans.
In order to curb the increasingly arrogant Venezuela, Brazil must become tougher, impose sanctions on them, and let them appreciate Brazil's powerful power.
The Brazilian Defense Forces have assured me that they will destroy the Venezuelan army within three months and regain the land that Venezuela occupied from the Spanish colonial period.
I believe in the glorious and heroic army of our Kingdom of Brazil, so I agreed to their request for war."
In the last paragraph of his New Year's Day speech, Tang Ning spoke to the people sonorously and forcefully.
"Therefore, the Kingdom of Brazil officially declares war on the Venezuelan government on New Year's Day!"
