The outbreak of war in Brazil was not a big deal.

The cause is the presidential election, that is, the political power struggle.

The reasons are complex, starting with the political structure of Brazil.

Brazil has a vast land area, with more than 20 states, but there are generally only two states, one is São Paulo and the other is Minas Gerais, because the population of these two states together has exceeded half of Brazil, so it is possible to monopolize the power of the Brazilian president without bribery.

It's like China, although it imitates the same American-style system, but in the end, it still retreats into a situation where local forces control the center.

The states of São Paulo and Minas controlled the Brazilian government, and for centuries they were controlled by an agrarian oligarchy, which is why the agrarian oligarchy controlled the Brazilian government.

The long-term system has formed a tacit understanding between the two states, this president is São Paulo, then the next one is Minas, both sides have supported this tacit understanding very well, rarely overstepping, and even every time the president of São Paulo nominates Minas as a candidate, but this time the São Paulo people have challenged this tradition.

Washington Luiz, who was born in São Paulo, did not support the candidate of Minas, but supported his friend Julio as his successor.

The powerful state of São Paulo, which has been exporting ore for many years to sustain its economy, but the economic crisis hit them and they were unable to compete with São Paulo, so they lost the election and Julio became the next president.

This made Minas extremely unhappy, so they chose to support the candidate of Vargas in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, and in the midst of the great crisis, the army was also dissatisfied with the government, and by a series of coincidences, São Paulo pushed itself against all local powers. Even their biggest political ally, Minas, betrayed, so when the military coup and the former soldier Vargas were elected president, São Paulo could not find a local force to support them.

Brazil in the 21st century. They also have a large number of private armies, which are even more powerful than the regular army, the rich have helicopters, and mercenaries protect themselves, in this era. The Brazilian farmers are armed with private guards to protect them, so the state of São Paulo is not without the power to fight, but their opponents are too strong, and they can control the situation in the whole country with the political forces of Minas, but now they are incapable.

After the mid- and lower-ranking officers who supported Vargas led their troops into São Paulo, the Washington presidential system led the army to make a symbolic resistance and chose to surrender, so Vargas became the new president.

Vargas was famous in later generations of Brazil, and was considered the greatest contributor to Brazil's industrialization, and was regarded as a national hero.

The countries of the Soviet Russian model saw Vargas as a representative of national capital. But in fact, he himself is nothing, he was born in a farmer's family, he can't represent any kind of ghost bourgeoisie, he is just a politician, a democratic elite, Li Hongzhang is a figure engaged in industry, is it a bourgeoisie? Obviously, this is the worldview of the elite with a sense of national crisis, and the greatest ambition of this kind of person is to be a strong country, but a strong country cannot be separated from industry, so often these people support industry, but it cannot be said that they have a worldview of the capital.

Vargas is best known for his role in promoting the import-substitution industry in Brazil. At the same time, it nationalized foreign assets such as Europe and the United States, and established steel, petroleum and automobile industries in Brazil, creating an industrial system for Brazil.

Of course, Vargas's worldview was supported by industrial capital. Because Vargas's views are in their favor.

Brazil's industrial capital has developed, and in the First World War, although Brazil's coffee exports were hit hard, the cut off of imported industries also brought a rare opportunity to their industrial enterprises, and the Europeans fought more than four years of war. Brazil's industry has been growing at a rapid pace for four years.

After the end of the war in Europe, Brazil has developed a sugar ginning industry, a cotton textile industry, a shipbuilding industry and a food industry, of course, these industries are still very small, they are all small and medium-sized factories, high costs, low profits, but for the first time, the population engaged in industry exceeded 1 million people, and the industrial strength is not to be underestimated.

Moreover, Brazilian industry is mainly located in places such as São Paulo, Minas and Rio Sul, and Rio Sul has no political status, because agriculture is not as good as that of São Paulo and Minas, and the population is not in a hurry for each other. But there are a lot of German, Italian immigrants in this place.

Rio Grande do Sul, the capital of Rio Grande do Sul, was even established by German immigrants in 1823, and later a large number of Italian immigrants migrated, so the state was mostly German and Italian residents, especially after the end of the First World War, the German economy fell into a state of collapse, and about 100,000 German immigrants entered here every year, forming a huge German cultural community.

German immigrants brought with them Germany's industrial culture, and Rio Grande do Sul's industry developed rapidly in the post-war economic boom and became a political force to be reckoned with in Brazil, so Vargas began to compete for the presidency with the support of Rio Grande Sul, trying to break the rotation of São Paulo and Minas.

But Vargas failed, São Paulo dominated, so the army coup d'état, and Vargas stole power.

But São Paulo did not recognize the coup, they declared the coup illegal, President Julio and Washington sang high tunes to suppress it, but they could not send troops, others came to the door, and the result was that the agricultural oligarchs in São Paulo compromised, but after Vargas came to power, they took measures that hurt them a lot, such as raising tariffs, allowing other countries to start retaliating against Brazil, and also reducing imports of Brazilian agricultural products.

So after 30 years as president, two years after becoming president, the agricultural oligarchs of São Paulo could not bear it anymore and finally launched an uprising in the port of Santos, São Paulo, with its headquarters in the coffee exchange in Santos, and it was clear that the coffee oligarchs were the backbone of the uprising.

But the war did not last long, and was soon suppressed by government forces, but the war destroyed the Japanese settlement in Santos, killed and injured hundreds of Japanese, and the Chinese were also injured, and the Brazilian government quickly compensated the Chinese for their losses, and excluded a special team to come to China to explain and comfort, mourn the families of the deceased, and even apologize in the family ancestral halls of several immigrants.

The Brazilians were wise, they were really afraid that the Chinese aircraft carriers would sail to Rio de Janeiro, but they were not so polite to Japan, the Japanese protested, and Brazil threatened to expel Japanese immigrants, so Hirohito found the strongest reason to rebuild the navy.

Later, the U.S. imperialists allowed the Japanese Self-Defense Forces to have a strong navy, but Yang Chao was very hesitant, the U.S. imperialists tolerated the Japanese having a navy, that is because Japan is close to China and Russia, which can balance the two countries, and is too far away from the U.S. imperialism to pose a threat to the U.S. imperialism. The Cuban Missile Crisis is the best example of this.

After pondering for a moment, analyzing the pros and cons, and his own control, Yang Chao agreed to the Japanese.

"Battleships can't be built, aircraft carriers can't be built, submarines can't be built, and the remaining cruisers and destroyers can be built at will, as long as the total tonnage does not exceed 300,000 tons!"

300,000 tons is a very large scale, put it 30 years ago, that is, the world's top three naval powers, is this era, in addition to Europe, America and China and other big countries, there are few countries with 300,000 tons of naval power, such as Brazil's total naval tonnage is less than 200,000 tons, and most of them are old warships.

The Japanese are satisfied.

"But all warships have to be built in Chinese shipyards."

Yang Chao made a request, but the Japanese did not refuse, because they do not have their own shipyard now, and the Japanese shipbuilding industry has been dismantled, and it is not so easy to rebuild.

300,000 tons is not a thing, Yang Chao is not worried at all, he is worried about the national sentiment in Japan that is rising step by step, the generation that grew up in the Meiji Restoration, the kind of great Japonism complex is not so easy to dissipate, and these people's hearts are the backbone of Japanese politics.

This force is not terrible, they just want to say 'no', the real unpredictable is the army, it is the fascist force formed among the middle and low-level officers in the army, these people are under the banner of reforming society, and they have not stopped making trouble in recent years, last year the representatives of the army formed an alliance with the rural forces, formed a blood alliance, assassinated many high-level members of the Mitsui Group, and the frightened Mitsui family began to shrink, announcing that the family withdrew from the management and was relieved to be a behind-the-scenes shareholder to alleviate social conflicts.

The reason why Hirohito sent a large number of Japanese regular soldiers to Siberia to help in the war was actually to divert the attention of these people, and even deliberately sent many fascist officers in the army to Siberia, and it was a good thing for Japan that these people were killed.

In addition to Japan, President Lázaro, who was born in the Mexican military, won the election and also put forward some nationalist slogans, such as confiscating British and American capital and nationalizing Mexican oil, as a country, Mexico has always been the world's second largest oil producer after the United States, but compared with the wealth of the United States, Mexicans get too little benefit, the money is earned by Rockefeller, and too little benefit is given to Mexico, and many of them are distributed to corrupt officials in Mexico, and do not benefit the Mexican people.

After winning the election, President Lázaro told his voters: "You elected me president, and I will be your president." I know what you chose me for, and I'll do it! ”

In addition, the Arabs began to actively try to establish themselves behind the scenes because the oil revenues were taken by the British, Persia was also dissatisfied with the income given by the British as much as the Arabs, the non-violent non-cooperation movement in India broke out from time to time, and the indigenous people of Malaya and Indonesia expressed their dissatisfaction under the pressure of the growing Chinese immigrants and colonizers.

The whole world was in the midst of a crisis before the upheaval, the political situation in Europe began to become delicate, and with the support of Britain and the United States, the Nazis came to power, making the French feel that winter was coming!

The sound of the imminent outbreak of a world war has begun to spread, and Yang Chao knows that this is not unfounded. (To be continued.) )
