On January 7, this day, Tangning and Cameron chatted a lot.
After the initial unification of opinions, Brazil and the United Kingdom quickly reached a consensus and prepared for more cooperation.
Although Brazil's current development already has technical support from Germany and France, Tang Ning does not want too much. He has a huge appetite.
As the world's hegemon, the United Kingdom has accumulated abundant technological capital. Brazil will benefit greatly from receiving British capital and technology transfer.
It is true that capital in this world is only interested in profit. The world is a free economic model, and British capital and technology are mainly invested in the United States.
This is determined by the choice of the capital market. Brazil is destined to be on the margins and cannot compete with the United States' attraction to the United Kingdom.
However, if the British government clearly supports Brazil and is determined to help, it can still mobilize some capital and technology to Brazil.
Although these capital and technologies are completely inferior to those invested in the United States, they are still a great help to Brazil.
Starting from January 8, King Pedro III of Brazil issued a decree.
By order of the King of Brazil, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Land and Resources, the Ministry of National Development, the Ministry of International Development, the Ministry of Domestic Commerce and Trade, the Ministry of International Commerce and Trade and other departments have dispatched a large number of senior officials to work with them.
Technical personnel form a study tour to Europe.
This study tour to Europe was led by Foreign Minister Tony.
During this visit, the Brazilian delegation first inspected the United Kingdom. In addition to inspecting British industry and commerce, the Brazilian delegation also inspected various industries in society.
After the inspection, the delegation negotiated with the British government and companies from various industries to finalize the introduction.
This time, for the Brazilian delegation's European tour, the UK is the first stop, France is the second stop, Germany is the third stop, and the rest will visit other countries depending on the situation.
This time, the Brazilian delegation visited Europe not only to introduce industrial technology, but also to seek cooperation and the introduction of personnel and technology in various aspects of society such as agriculture, fishery, medical care, and education.
Of course, this era is not the era of competition between Hong Kong and Soviet Union. When talking about cooperation, you have to pay money.
Although Britain, France, and Germany will charge cheaper prices in order to win over Brazil, the overall cost is definitely not small.
You can't let the UK, France, and Germany support you at a loss. They are neither your father nor a charity poverty alleviation organization.
Free and cheap support is obviously impossible. Today is a free economic capital society, and what we are talking about is money.
This era is not the time after World War II and before the Cold War when the two superpowers were frantically spending money.
In order to make Brazil pay the price of the three great powers, Tang Ning dug up Brazil's bottom and prepared to use it to pay and mortgage Britain, France, and Germany.
Coffee, rubber, cocoa, cane sugar, sisal, and spices are all tropical economic crops that Brazil can handle and produce.
The UK may not need these, but France and Germany definitely do. In exchange for various supports, Brazil can negotiate with them on the price of these cash crops and is willing to sell them at low prices.
Although France and Germany have colonies, their level of development is completely inferior to that of the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom has India, this large blood-sucking disk.
France's main investment is in North Africa. Although there is development in other regions, the products produced cannot make up for the demand, and they still need to be purchased by countries such as Brazil.
Germany is even worse. Germany acquired its colonies late and developed them late. The colonies are still British and French, and they need more.
In addition to cash crops, Tang Ning also provided various minerals, the bulk of which are coal mines and iron ore.
Coal mines, although Brazil has coal mines, the quality is not good, and it will definitely not be sold for export.
Coal mines in Brazil are not good, but Venezuela is. The DiBello Coal Mine in Venezuela is the second largest open-pit coal mine in Latin America, with coal reserves of hundreds of millions of tons and excellent coal quality.
Now that the Kingdom of Brazil has taken over Venezuela, this coal mine is located in the ceded state of Zulia. The coal mine reserves in this state exceed 7 billion tons. Brazil now has a considerable amount of high-quality coal mines that can be used as payment and mortgage.<

Iron ore, Tang Ning lifted up a small side of the four corners of the iron mine to show it to Britain, France and Germany.
The Carajas mining area in the state of Pará was brought to the forefront by Tang Ning. The iron grade of this mining area is as high as 66%, and in addition to iron ore, it is also rich in manganese, copper, tin, aluminum, coal and gold ore.
The iron ore area in the Carajas mining area is shallowly buried and can be mined in the open.
The entire iron ore area has iron ore reserves of more than 18 billion tons, with an average grade of more than 65.5%. It is mainly divided into four blocks, east, west, north and south, of which the north and south are the largest.
Beiling iron ore area has reserves of 6.2 billion tons and iron grade of 65.8%. Nanling has reserves of 10.4 billion tons and iron grade of 66.3%.
You know, the two countries with the highest steel production in the world today are Germany and the United States.
In 1913, before the outbreak of World War I, Germany's steel production was 18 million tons, the United States' steel production was 31 million tons, the United Kingdom's 7.7 million tons, and France's 4.6 million tons.
The Carajas mining area has 18 billion tons of iron ore reserves, which can completely supply the iron ore of three countries. Of course, the United Kingdom may not be interested in it because they have no shortage of iron ore, but France and Germany will never let it go.
Tang Ning spent a lot of money on sending the European inspection team this time.
Although she had negotiated with France and Germany to introduce a large number of technologies before, Tangning is no longer satisfied.
This time, the United Kingdom gave the Dominican Republic to Brazil, and Brazil was put on the U.S. blacklist in advance. Now it should increase its efforts and spend money to quickly complete Brazil's industrial process and improve all aspects of social progress.
It is now 1909, and there are still five years before the first world war breaks out in Europe. This era and this point in time can be regarded as a rare window period.
After passing this village, you have to wait until 1919, when Germany collapses due to World War I, before you can reap the benefits.

Tangning couldn't wait for that time. He couldn't afford to wait ten years.
How important the ten years are for a country to complete two five-year plans. Is this something we can wait for?
The "Kingdom Program" stipulates a ten-year transition period. In these ten years, Tang Ning must lay a solid foundation.
There are still five years before the First World War, which is just enough time to complete the Kingdom of Brazil's five-year plan. The window period is very short. Now is the time to increase the power and fully absorb it.
1909, January 11, 15:00.
A grand farewell party is being held at the port of Rio de Janeiro.
"Tony, this time, you will be leading the negotiations with the United Kingdom, France, and Germany.
I hope that you can get the most benefits for our country with less cost. If you need any help at that time, just ask.
I, and my father in Europe, will help you."
The task of this inspection team is really heavy. This is the best opportunity for Brazil before World War I to absorb the essence of Europe. After this time, it will take a long time.
Tony cherishes King Pedro III's expectations and reuse very much, and has a firm belief in his heart to complete the task.
Italians have never been taken seriously on the Brazilian stage. Since the restoration of the Kingdom of Brazil, His Majesty Pedro III has shown great favor to Italians.
In today's Brazilian political arena, Italians have received unprecedented importance, and their status has skyrocketed. They are now on par with Germans.
However, Germans are not patriotic enough and are not as good as Italians. Italians really want to integrate into Brazil.
If you don’t integrate into Brazil, will you go back to the Italian peninsula and eat dirt?
Italy in Europe is a poor country with a huge gap between the north and the south. How can the future and development of this country compare to that of the Kingdom of Brazil!
Tony can clearly feel the love and favor of His Majesty the King of Brazil, Pedro III, for Italians.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Supreme Court, these two important departments, are now occupied by Italians. There are also Italians in other departments, and they are obviously more important than Germans.
"Your Majesty the King, I will fulfill my mission."
Brazilian Italians are still very reliable. After using them for so long, Tangning likes them very much.
"Tony, do a good job!
I hope that the future Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Brazil will be filled by an Italian."
Tangning was very satisfied with Tony, and as a habit, she gave him another injection of chicken blood to encourage him to work.
