France, Paris.
“Venezuela!
Which country is this? Why don’t I recognize it? I need to look at the map."
Later, Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau, known as the Tiger of France and the Father of Victory, was a little confused when he heard that an unknown small country was asking for help.
Facing the Prime Minister's doubts, the Foreign Secretary found Venezuela on the map for Georges Clemenceau and briefly introduced the country to him.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, Venezuela is the first country established by Bolivar, the liberator of the Americas, after he liberated the Spanish colonies."
Unlike the great Europeanist Georges Clemenceau, the Foreign Secretary has a broad vision. After all, he is responsible for diplomacy. He can still understand some small countries that are unknown to many Europeans.
Just like Venezuela!
"Oh, here it is!"
Under the identification of the Foreign Secretary, Georges Clemenceau discovered Venezuela.
"It turns out that Venezuela is located north of Brazil, on the southern coast of the Caribbean!
What Brazil wants to attack is such a place. The place Brazil wants to claim to occupy is more than half of the country's territory.
No wonder we ask our powerful France to uphold justice."
After looking at the map, Georges Clemenceau quickly understood why Venezuela was asking for help. Brazil wanted to occupy half of their country, so of course it asked for help from France.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, Venezuela is begging us and is willing to provide a lot of benefits, just to prevent Brazil from starting a war."
"How big can a nameless country be? Is it as big as Brazil?"
After seeing Venezuela, Georges Clemenceau quickly lost interest and was not prepared to help this unknown country.
"Brazil is the largest country in South America and the second most powerful country in the Americas after the United States.
What benefits can a small Venezuela bring to us? Can they compare with Brazil? Is Brazil important to us?
Such a small country was wiped out by Brazil, and I didn't even bother to look at it."
What is Brazil?
What is Venezuela?
They are not of the same size at all. Venezuela does not deserve to be compared with Brazil, and its importance to France is pitifully small.
Since the reconstruction of the Kingdom of Brazil, it has been working hard to revive and develop industry and commerce on a large scale. This is great for Europe and France.
"Pedro III of Brazil is a wise king. He is now vigorously developing Brazil's industry and commerce and wants to become the most powerful country in South America. This is very worthy of praise.
Brazil has the iron ore we need, exports a large amount of agricultural products to us, and spends huge sums of money to purchase technology from France, which has brought a lot of benefits to France, which is comparable to Venezuela.
What can Venezuela bring to us? Can it exceed more than 2 billion francs in benefits? This country is not even worth ten francs, and it is not worthy of attention and help."
"The Prime Minister is right, and I also believe that Venezuela should not be supported."
The Kingdom of Brazil now provides France with a large number of benefits. If Brazil is offended, these benefits will be given to Germany.
Pedro III was very dissatisfied with Germany's cautious attitude towards supporting Brazilian industrial technology. This brought great opportunities to France.
The king of Brazil is a German aristocrat and is naturally pro-German. However, Germany prides itself on being a second world power. Sometimes it is unclear and it adopts a arrogant attitude to get more benefits.
Germany itself cannot figure it out, but France is very clear that it wants to win over Brazil, give it what it wants, and reduce Germany’s support.
Brazil is in South America, far away from Europe. The only relationship between France and Brazil is that there are some disputes and conflicts in Guyana.
But France knows very well what it needs?
Little French Guiana, a tropical rainforest area, is not as important as Brazil. The French government is recently planning to sell it to Brazil at a low price to gain more favor from Brazil.
Germany wants to show off and is a little arrogant towards Brazil, but it gives France a great opportunity.
Brazil's push for industrialization requires technical and talent support, while France's capital explosion requires export. It's a perfect match.
Now French capital, industrial technology and personnel are pouring into Brazil in large numbers, bringing overall industrial and other development to Brazil, and already have huge influence.
Nowadays, King Pedro III of Brazil approves and approves of France. He is getting closer to France and gradually tends to alienate the German Empire.
The Germans are regretting it now, but the French government is extremely happy!
"Ask the Brazilian government if it needs help?
We now need to have a good relationship with Brazil. Venezuela is a good gift. We in France must clearly express our support for Brazil and never let the Brazilians feel cold.
France is a friend of Brazil and cannot and should not let Brazil down."
Venezuela is a country with no value at all. Its current value to France is as a gift to Brazil.
"Mr. Minister, like Brazil to show our goodwill, France supports Brazil's annexation of Venezuela and is willing to actively provide help."
Georges Clemenceau, who is known as a realist, certainly knows the optimal solution, and Brazil is strong, which is a good thing for France and Europe.
Georges Clemenceau, whose representative works in the future are "Social Chaos" and "American Reconstruction", is still very wary of the United States.
The dominance of the United States in the Americas is definitely not a good thing for Europe. If Brazil becomes stronger, two powerful countries will emerge in the Americas, which is a huge good thing for Europe.
The entire American region that has capital and foundation and can be compared with the United States is Brazil, which has an area of more than 8 million square meters and a population of 30 million.
In other American regions, Mexico is okay, with a population of more than 10 million, but this country has long been ruined by the United States.
Two-thirds of the territory in the western United States was given by Mexico. The Americans are so powerful because of this waste.
Counting on Mexico is worse than counting on cows climbing trees.
"Brazil, if it swallows Venezuela, will be separated from the United States by the Caribbean Sea, and the two countries will definitely compete. This is the best thing for us in Europe."
Germany, Berlin.
"What the hell is Venezuela? Brazil wants to beat him, give me your full support."
No one was interested in looking at a map to find this country. William II decisively supported Brazil without even thinking about it.
William II now attaches great importance to Brazil. He was a little arrogant before and allowed France to gain Italy. Now he regrets it to death.
In the beginning, he should not have been pretentious in front of Brazil, which made Pedro III and the Braganza family very dissatisfied.
Germany actually needs the Brazilian market and Brazilian resources, especially iron ore.
Brazil is thousands of miles away from Germany, and the royal family is a German noble. There is no conflict at all. They should have cooperated well, but they are suffering from arrogance.
This mistake directly made France a lot of money, and also gained the friendship of Pedro III.
Now the French are blowing wind in front of Pedro III, blowing very enthusiastically, making him gradually stay away from Germany.
The Brazilian cabinet, which used to be a powerful German faction, is now very unpopular except for the Minister of Employment and Welfare.
Now Germany urgently needs to restore its friendship with Brazil.
At this time, Venezuela came forward and asked Germany to intervene to beat Brazil, and also expressed its willingness to send benefits to Germany.
"Venezuela, a country that came out of nowhere, is worthy of provoking conflicts between Brazil and us. It is really desperate.
Give me a diplomatic message, Germany fully supports all Brazil's claims.
Make it clear in the announcement that any country in the world that opposes Brazil’s demands and dares to help Venezuela is working against us, Germany.”
Venezuela, what is it?
William II had never heard of this country. It was a small and unknown country, worthy of being compared with Brazil.
Isn’t this harming the German Empire?
If it really intervenes, Brazil will completely fall to France.
United States, Washington.
"Mr. President, Europe, Britain, France, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy and other countries all support Brazil's war against Venezuela.
Germany and France even accused Venezuela of unreasonably provoking Brazil, and brutally and unreasonably said that historically, all Venezuelan territory legally belongs to Brazil."
Secretary of State Robert Bacon told the current Theodore Roosevelt the attitudes of various countries.
The world's great powers, all European powers, and Japan in Asia, all support Brazil unequivocally, while Venezuela is completely isolated.
Theodore Roosevelt, the old Roosevelt in history, one of the most accomplished presidents in the United States and a Republican leader, of course broke with the Republican Party after he stepped down.
Later the famous Franklin Roosevelt, Jr., was his nephew.
"Since major countries in the world support Brazil, we in the United States should support it too.
South America has always been Europe's sphere of influence. Previously, we split Colombia and made Panama independent, which has touched some of the bottom lines of the European powers. Now we cannot act rashly."
Theodore Roosevelt is about to leave office in more than a month, and his successor is also a Republican named William Howard Taft.
William Howard Taft was also an extraordinary person. He later became the only politician in the United States who served as both president and chief justice, a true Republican leader.
"Robert, watch some people and don't let them act rashly.
The United States must not have any contact or help with Venezuela, otherwise the European powers will become a hot topic and we cannot be targeted."
