Chapter 67 Rejection of Dominica

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 January 7, 1909.

On this day, Brazil defeated Venezuela and not only occupied a large territory, but also turned Venezuela into a protectorate and Brazil's sphere of influence

The Treaty of Caracas, a treaty signed between Brazil and Venezuela, has spread rapidly across the country.

The people of Rio de Janeiro, the capital of Brazil, heard the news immediately from loudspeakers and news broadcasts.

The content of the treaty inspired the people of the royal capital, and they were proud of the country's victory.

For a time, various celebrations began to be held in Rio de Janeiro, the capital of Brazil, and people participated in them one after another to express their happiness and joy.

Not only the people at the bottom are happy and joyful, but the intellectuals and capitalists of the Kingdom of Brazil are also excited and excited.

Many people began to associate the Kingdom of Brazil with the United States, and Venezuela with Mexico.

With the complete victory of this war, many people believe that after the Kingdom of Brazil defeats Venezuela, it will undergo reforms and the Kingdom of Brazil will become a great power like the United States.

In short, after the signing of the "Treaty of Caracas", the whole country of the Kingdom of Brazil felt inspired and was proud of the Kingdom of Brazil's victory. They firmly believe that from now on, Brazil will get better and better.

When the whole country was celebrating, Tangning should have participated, but he had no time at all.

Because after the treaty was signed, the British ambassador asked to meet with him and discuss some matters.

Britain is the world's most powerful country, and the British ambassador requested a meeting, so Tangning certainly did not dare to delay.

After all, Britain has a strong voice in this era, and he doesn't want to cause misunderstandings over trivial matters.

Tang Ning met with the British Ambassador. The British Ambassador's request put him in a dilemma, because this matter would obviously offend the United States.

The Kingdom of Brazil can dominate South America, but the gap with the United States is too big. It is too early to offend the United States at this time.

Tang Ning knew that if Brazil wanted to rise, it would eventually become an enemy of the United States, but it was obviously not now.

14:35, Inside Fuxing Palace.

"Your Majesty the King, Britain hopes that you can take over Dominica on the Spanish island and turn it into a Brazilian territory?"

After some hypocritical politeness, British Ambassador Cameron came to the real intention of this meeting, the issue of Dominican ownership.

Cameron has spoken a lot before, praising how wise he is as a king and advocating what expansion is needed for the rise of Brazil.

In addition to these, it also focused on expressing Britain's support for the reform of the Kingdom of Brazil and its sincere hope that Brazil will become a dual power in the Americas and have an equal status with the United States.

One after another, Humphrey's British words were poured out, and Tang Ning was completely confused.

Of course, since Cameron has been advocating the rise of Brazil, the friendship between Britain and Brazil, and the UK's strong support for Brazil, Tangning must work hard to cooperate with his performance.

Perhaps, because Tang Ning cooperated so well with his performance, Ambassador Cameron felt that he had been tricked, so he showed the true intention of this meeting.

The United Kingdom wants to add Dominica to Brazil's territory, and Ambassador Cameron hopes that the wise King Pedro III can accept it.

"Mr. Cameron, although you have said so much, Dominica has nothing to do with our Brazil."

Tangning was not a hack. She could be coaxed and cooperated with the performance. If she fell into the trap, it would be bad. She quickly and skillfully shied away from the requirements of this trap.

"If I remember correctly, Mr. Ambassador, Dominica is an independent country and has nothing to do with our country in history. Our country has no legal basis to rule it."

Are you kidding?

Dominica, this country, is within the sphere of influence of the United States, the dominant North American country.

Now, the Kingdom of Brazil extends its hand and wants to punish it?

King Tang Ning still doesn’t know how big the Kingdom of Brazil is now, and it cannot be compared with the United States at all.

At first glance, Brazil is the hegemon of South America, and the United States is the hegemon of North America. They feel that they have equal status.

But the fact is that the difference between the two is equivalent to that of an eagle and an owl. One is really fierce and the other is fake. They are not on the same level at all.

"Your Majesty the King, Brazil does not have Dominican legal principles, but what if Dominica is willing to join Brazil?"

Cameron didn't expect that he could convince the king who had regained the Kingdom of Brazil at such a young age with just a few words. He still had a backup plan.

"In Nimini, the country is impoverished, warlords are fighting, and the people are in dire straits.

The Kingdom of Brazil, as the largest country in Latin America, has a prosperous country, a strong people, and a stable political situation. The Dominican people hope to join your country and escape the sea of ​​suffering.

We in the UK hope that your kind Majesty will accept them."

The Dominicans are indeed miserable. They are miserable now and their history is also very humiliating.

In 1492, the Spanish entered Dominica. In 1496, the Spanish established the permanent settlement of Santo Domingo and officially began their rule, entering the Spanish colonial period.

Later, between 1795 and 1809, it was invaded and occupied by France, and then fell into a dispute with Spain.

In November 1821, Dominica declared independence, which started a tragedy.

Not long after, in February of the following year, Dominica was occupied by Haiti, the first black country in the Americas, which lasted for decades.

The Dominican Republic is really miserable. It was bullied by the black uncles of Haiti. Unfortunately, there was no Uncle Parsley at that time. During this period, Dominica was ravaged by the black uncles of Haiti.

On February 27, 1844, Dominica finally broke free from Haitian control, declared independence for the second time, and established a republic.

But not long after, in 1861, it was occupied again by the Iberian Returning Regiment, Hu Hansan from the West, and Spain.

In 1865, Spain was strongly condemned and intervened by European countries and the United States, and was forced to withdraw from the Dominican Republic.

Do you think that all this will get better in the future? On the contrary, it will get worse and worse.

After freedom, Dominica did not live a good life. The country fell into division and warlords were fighting.

Since the Spanish left Dominica in 1865, several major cities in this independent country have been in a state of widespread paralysis and destruction, and the entire country has been divided into several separate kingdoms.

José María Cabral controlled most of Barahona and was supported in the southwest by the mahogany exporter Baez, while rancher Guillermo formed an alliance with some former generals in the southeast; Gray

Gorio Luperon takes control of the northern coast.

From Spain's departure to 1879, there were 21 changes of government and at least fifty more uprisings.

In just 14 years, the warlords were even less reliable than Country M. Together with Haiti next door, they set a precedent for future generations of small countries with crotchless legs.

During the course of these conflicts, two major political parties began to form in Dominica: the Red Party, which represented the interests of southern ranchers, and the Blue Party, which represented the interests of tobacco growers and businessmen.

The Red Party mainly seeks to merge with major powers, while the Blue Party mainly seeks freedom and is nationalist.

In 1869, the then president of the country, Baez, sought the consent of President Ulysses Simpson Grant of the United States, hoping to integrate Dominica into the United States and allow the United States to repay the US$1.5 million in foreign debts of many countries at the time.

U.S. President Grant readily agreed. He believed that this move would allow blacks who had abolished slavery in the South to have a free place to live, and would no longer be threatened by southern whites.

Unfortunately, contrary to expectations, this merger proposal was voted against by the U.S. Senate and failed.

How sad, even if Dominica is a traitor to the country, it cannot be sold, and the United States does not want it.

It can be said that Dominica is a hellish country. The bizarre current situation of those small countries in later generations is now happening in Dominica, and the magical reality has been staged in advance.

This country has no national consciousness at all. It has to wait until Uncle Parsley comes into the world as a macho man to reshape this country.

"Mr. Cameron, I understand the tragic history of this country that you told, and I sympathize with them."

No matter how eloquently you talk about the suffering of the Dominican people, the British ambassador, Downing just can't fall for it.

"However, we in Brazil have no legal basis for this chaotic country and are really not interested. Moreover, I have to be responsible for my country.

I personally am willing to donate some money to the Dominicans, but at the national level, I think the Brazilian people are not willing for me to accept these people.

I'm really sorry!

The Kingdom of Brazil is not rich, the country is undergoing reform, and there is no extra experience and wealth to support them."
