593 Ti****tes
"The storm of revolution will sweep across the globe. "www.biquge.info The official media of the Tang Dynasty published such a prophetic report, the position of which it appeared was not very important, some inconspicuous, and even articles the size of tofu blocks, but it was like a leak of heaven, exposing the context of the future.
Confidential Secretary Pan Pu placed a document in front of Bai Nan and said softly: "President, this is a series of information about the preparations for the revolution on the Brazilian side. ”
Bai Nan nodded, flipped through the materials casually, and skimmed through them in general. Although the three South American countries became independent one after another, in fact, South America was not completely out of the control of European colonists, except for Suriname where there were French, Dutch and British, and the largest colony was Portugal's Brazilian colony. When people talk about the colonial relations of various countries in later generations, people will first think of Britain and India, France and North Africa, Spain and Mexico, and Portugal and Brazil, these colonies were of great significance to the suzerain, and it is difficult for other colonies to match.
The Portuguese colonial authorities were also very panicked after the success of the independence of the three South American countries two years earlier, but at that time there were no large-scale uprisings in Portugal, and there was no response to the revolutionaries in other countries, which made the colonists breathe a sigh of relief. However, in order to strengthen social stability, the Portuguese colonial authorities issued a series of prohibitions, such as restricting the spread of internationalism in Brazil, and arrested a group of national revolutionists and sentenced them to exile on charges of conspiracy.
Datang is bound to protest against this behavior, but the Portuguese still resisted, although Datang is more terrifying, but if you can't keep this bottom line. Then Portugal lost Brazil. There was no point in that. In fact, although Datang threatened Portugal. However, not many substantive actions have been taken. The main means that Datang can use are trade sanctions, such as reducing trade with Portugal and imposing heavy taxes on Portuguese merchant ships entering Datang ports. However, this kind of action is obviously contrary to the principle of free trade upheld by Datang, and the two countries are not in a state of war, and directly throw the stick of trade sanctions, which is a bit too much.
Since then, although the Brazilian Revolution has gone underground, its momentum has not waned. As in the previous Spanish South American colonies. Brazilians were also dissatisfied with Portuguese colonial rule. Moreover, progressives are particularly yearning for internationalism from the Tang Dynasty.
"It's still effective to prepare for a few years more than Peru. When Xavier launches an uprising, he will use a large number of local officers who are interested in the revolution, and according to the effect of the Brazilian National Revolution infiltrating the army, at least a third of the army will mutiniate and directly become the force of the National Revolution. Add to this the fact that they mobilized the masses themselves and gained the support they received, and the revolution would have gone much smoother. Bai Nan smiled with a hint of the best thing about the smooth revolution for Datang that it did not require a lot of investment. Although the Tang Dynasty of the German Revolution was far from breaking its muscles and bones, it really contributed to the German Civil War.
In fact, in Datang's short- and medium-term strategic planning. There was no content to foster the Brazilian uprising. However, many of the leaders of the Brazilian Revolution saw successful uprisings in other countries. Feeling inspired and judging that for some time to come, the world would be shocked by the heroism of the internationalists, so he hoped to launch a revolution in Brazil.
Unlike Amaru II of Peru, Garán of Colombia, and Marnes of Germany, the leader of the Brazilian Revolution, Silva. Xavier's expectations for the revolution did not include obtaining all kinds of materials from the Tang Dynasty, or how much he relied on the Tang people.
The revolutionary leader, known as the "Tites" (Tooth Extractor), believed that a Brazilian revolution must be dominated by Brazilians and serve the interests of Brazilians, and that Brazilians must exchange their own efforts and blood for the victory of the revolution.
These are the personal observations of Ti****tes, such as the victory of the revolution in Peru with the help of the Don and the establishment of the Republic of Peru. Although Peru's development after independence was extremely rapid, Ti****tes saw that the mines and plantations originally occupied by the Spaniards were nationalized by the Peruvian government, and either resold or leased, and came into the hands of the Tang. The establishment of the "Mutual Aid Act" made the trade between Peru and the Tang completely duty-free, which was similar to the relationship between the colonies and the suzerain.
Naturally, it cannot be ignored that although all kinds of resources are controlled by the Tang people, the Tang-funded enterprises have perfect and humane management, and the workers working there are guaranteed minimum wages and maximum working hours, and they no longer tolerate beatings and discrimination; Not only Datang is the beneficiary of duty-free free trade, but Peru also takes advantage of both exports and imports, but it is only a matter of the size of the advantage.
Ti****tes has his own simple nationalism, he does not think that Datang is completely evil, and among his internationalist peers, Datang is obviously a reliable object. But Ti****tes doesn't want his new regime to be controlled by Los Angeles in all sorts of ways.
In terms of execution, Ti****tes may be the second only person to Marnes among the leaders of the national revolution. Although the National Revolution has been restricted in Brazil for several years, with reference to the model of the underground party of the Tang Advisors and the incompetence of the Portuguese colonial authorities, Ti****tes still infiltrated all corners of the colony, from the government to the army, and there were members of the National Revolution or sympathizers of the National Revolution.
Ti****tes did not even apply for large arms support from the First International, and compared to the huge amount of arms used in the German Revolution, the Brazilians only received two or three thousand rifles and two hundred light mortars from the Tang Dynasty. However, the Brazilian national revolutionists learned a lot of techniques for making explosives from Datang's advisers, and Ti****tes also raised money to smuggle in a set of chemical equipment from Datang to secretly produce explosives underground.
After believing that he had a relatively large degree of certainty, Ti****tes directly greeted the commissioner of the First International, explaining that the Brazilian National Revolution was preparing to carry out an uprising, but out of secrecy, he did not even explain the specific date and coverage of the uprising to Datang and the First International.
"This Silva. Xavier doesn't trust us enough. Bai Nan made such a judgment.
Pan Pu nodded and said, "Yes, this person is still a little conservative, but he still agrees to sign a mutual aid bill with us after independence." ”
