Chapter 596: God's Favored Kingdom
Colombia is not the strongest in South America, but it is definitely the number one, but such a large Latin American country was almost wiped out by the 50,000 or 60,000 people sent by Goshinga. Such a result has greatly stimulated a group of politicians in Changchun and London, and there are a lot of good things!
The British were already staring at Panama like a vicious dog, and North Manchuria and Colombia were settled, so naturally they couldn't leave the world's largest country. Therefore, taking advantage of no one's attention, the two families held a secret meeting in Bangkok by Zhiyuan, the minister of Nanyang in North Manchuria, and Morrison, the British envoy, put aside some past grievances, and came together shoulder to shoulder again.
Colombia was defeated by North Manchuria, and the British took advantage of it, and the bulk of it still had to go to North Manchuria, but the interests of the whole of Latin America had to be divided between the two families. There are only a few big countries in Latin America, Colombia has already laid down, and the rest of the problems are actually easy to discuss. As for the United States, France, and a few other old friends, they were happily excluded from North Manchuria and Britain, and they all had their own business to do, and Latin America did not have to worry about them. If their own business is gone, North Manchurian and the British will be happy to find something for them as well. The British have been fighting Argentina's idea for 60 years, and this time, of course, they will take Argentina directly, and with North Manchurian to help them beat the side drum, the British are also full of confidence. Northern Manchuria, on the other hand, was assigned to Brazil, the country that God favored most in Goshinga's mouth.
The main sphere of influence of the United Non-staple Food Company is in Central America and northern Latin America, and the British are eyeing Argentina, and Ma San's power is actually very limited, that is, he occasionally goes to do arms business. Colombia was able to make such a big move in the core of Ma San's power because the core of Ma San's interests was not in Colombia, otherwise the Colombians would not be able to please Ma San's commercial guards. Ma San's true home base in Latin America is Brazil, a great country favored by God.
Brazil is the largest country in Latin America, not much smaller than China itself, with a population of more than 8 million square kilometers and a population of just over 7 million. For Ma San, this is a wasteland-like country, and you can have whatever you want. Moreover, Brazil is imperial, completely in the posture of a European feudal dynasty, and the local bureaucracy is greedy and stupid. As long as Ma San can come up with enough money to pay bribes, there will be no demand that the Brazilian bureaucrats will not agree to. The Chinese have incomparably rich experience in collusion between officials and businessmen, officials and bandits, etc., and Ma San is naturally like a fish in water in Brazil.
In five years, Ma Sanyi has become the second emperor of Brazil, the power of Brazil is in the hands of Pedro II, and the land and money of Brazil are all in the hands of Ma San. Brazilians use money to buy weapons from Ma San, and then Ma San uses the money to buy land, Brazilians use money to buy food and clothing, and Ma San uses the money he earns to buy land. In the end, when the Brazilians were well armed and well-fed and clothed, they found that everything they wanted to guard was in the hands of Ma San.
Moreover, the second emperor, Ma San, was not alone, he had a large number of compatriots around him, and the confiscation and expulsion policy of Colombia was completely impossible to implement in Brazil. Because Ma San was not used to lazy and clumsy black slaves, there were no slaves in Ma San's estates and factories, and the workers he used were all Chinese he got from the coast of China. Over the past five years, the results of persistently transporting people from China have been very objective, and Ma Sanzuzu has brought in 1.2 million compatriots from China. The Qing Dynasty and the opposition all knew that immigrants from the north returned to Manchuria and immigrants from the south went to Latin America. Emperor Pedro II of Brazil was well aware of the threat posed by Masan, but he did not dare to go to war against the second largest ethnic group in the country.
Ma San had repeatedly suggested to Changchun that he hoped that Guoxinga would send someone to cooperate with him inside and outside, get rid of Pedro II's regime in one fell swoop, and incorporate Brazil into the territory of North Manchuria. However, Changchun's replies in the past were very cold, they did not have much interest in Brazil, which was thousands of miles away, and North Manchuria was at war on all sides, and it was not financially able to support the consumption of the expedition. However, this victory in Colombia has turned the cabinet into a main battle faction.
Fighting a war is a lot of money, but the most expensive part is a protracted war, and if you can solve it quickly, it really doesn't matter. Colombia's big victory has made everyone see the strength of the military of Latin American countries, and they are isolated from the main world, they will not fight at all, and it is too easy to bully them. After winning easily, you can unscrupulously demand compensation for land cession, where do you have to worry about spending money, this is an absolutely profitable business. The Colombian reparations were very satisfying to the Changchun cabinet, not only far exceeding their war costs, but also intended to make up for the previous financial deficit of North Manchuria.
Emperor Pedro II of Brazil had close ties with the British, and the British also had a lot of interests in Brazil, which was one of the reasons why the cabinet was not interested in Brazil in the past. Now that the British and Northern Manchuria are in the same trench, it is easy to say. At the expense of some of Argentina's industry, as well as gains from arms, Ma San easily exchanged the silence of the British on the Brazilian question. The internal and external problems have been solved, but Goxinga is a bit difficult, and Brazil is not so easy to swallow.
North Manchu and the Qing Dynasty are both multi-ethnic countries, but they are single-race countries, Han, Manchu, Tibetan, Hui, Mongolian, no matter what nationality, he also has to be a yellow race, everyone also looks similar, and it is also suitable to make do with them. But if he swallows Brazil in one gulp, Goxinga will have to face a crowd of whites, blacks, and mixed-race people. Not to mention the different languages, cultures, and beliefs, the difference in appearance is also extremely huge. If you get 350,000 as ethnic minorities, you can make do with it, but nearly 8 million people is too many, and these people will definitely be the seeds of turmoil in the future to split the country.
"There are only two ways to solve the general's concerns, one is to destroy the people of Brazil itself, and the other is to turn Brazil into a puppet, like Britain ruling India!" Guo Xing'a threw the problem to the cabinet, and Pi Runmin and others discussed it for a long time, and it was just these two tricks.
"The slaughter of more than 7 million people is crazy, how can the European and American powers sit idly by, no matter what they are for, they will come forward to find trouble. And if it kills like this, Brazil will not be able to stabilize for more than ten years. "Guo Xing'a feels that the tactic of racial extermination is unreliable, and all countries in the world will definitely interfere.
"The Americans' method of exterminating the remnants of Yin Shang is much better!" North Manchurian is also not allowed to use the title of Indians, and they are all collectively referred to as the remnants of Yin Shang.
"Europeans are so unreasonable, they kill the remnants of Yin Shang is killing savages, and if we kill whites, they have to say that they are genocide!" Goxinga didn't really want to kill people, but he wanted Brazil too much.
"General, the latest achievements of a hundred projects may be able to make contributions!" Zou Degui thought of a way to see no blood.
"This ...... If you don't use it, try not to use it first, if you don't play well, you can kill hundreds of millions of people, and many of Ma San's people don't have Manchurian nationality and have not been vaccinated, so if you don't get it, you will be swept in! Guo Xing'a finally remembered the sentence that hurt the heavens and the sky.
"Then according to the Indian example, depose Pedro II, and we will send the governor directly!" Pi Runmin felt that Britain's way of managing India was very good, with small investment and high returns.
"That can only occupy a moment, not a lifetime, that place is good!" What Goxinga wants is to permanently annex Brazil, he likes the place he has never been to so much, Ma San takes Brazil as his focus, and he is also influenced by Goxinga.
"General, is there that good there?" Pi Runmin felt that Guo Xing's expression was a little obscene, and he couldn't help but be curious, so he still asked.
"Good! You don't know, that's good! "Goxing Aharazi is coming down soon.
Brazil is a place where people never despair, and there is even a Brazilian proverb that says, "If you lose everything during the day, God will make it up to you at night." This land is a land of miracles. When Brazil was just becoming a colony, the Portuguese discovered sugar cane here and made a fortune selling sugar. Later, the white sugar was worthless, and tobacco was discovered in Brazil, and it was mixed for decades by selling tobacco leaves. After the tobacco economy was gone, Brazilians stopped growing because they had discovered gold. Brazil began to pan for gold, the land was no longer planted, and everyone ran to dig for gold. Until one day, the Brazilians discovered that the gold had been dug up and the land was deserted, but just as everyone was despairing, they found diamonds. This kind of good luck is really speechless.
Then the diamonds were gone, but when the Industrial Revolution came, the Brazilians had cotton again, and cotton grew very well here. The British bought cotton in large quantities, which made the Brazilians make a lot of money, but the simple Brazilians only exported raw materials and did not take the opportunity to develop their own industry. With the development of science and technology, the importance of rubber has become increasingly prominent, and the origin of rubber is Brazil. By tightly blocking the rubber seeds, the Brazilians monopolized the rubber trade, but unfortunately they met the cunning British. I thought that the young English gentleman had been sneaking into Brazil for more than 20 years, marrying a wife and having children there, and completely integrated into Brazilian life. When everyone thought he was Brazilian, the English gentleman packed his bags and quietly took 70,000 rubber seeds out of Brazil, which broke the Brazilian monopoly on rubber.
Nowadays, Brazilians mainly live on cotton, rubber and other materials, but Goxinga knows that it will not be long before they will find huge iron mines, coal mines of low quality but not large reserves, and then they will also find oil. There will always be miracles in the fields of Brazil as long as you need them, and such a place, Goxinga must hold it in the hands of the Chinese.
"General, no poison, no husband!" How many people have heard Guo Xinga blow about the magic of Brazil, Zou Degui, and once again suggested that Guo Xinga use high-tech products.
