Section 658 Help Brazil

Vargas is wise, although under the banner of democracy, but he did not really do anything outrageous, the biggest move is the introduction of a law to restrict immigration, the bill stipulates that Brazil can accept up to 3 million immigrants a year, this broken bill obviously has no purpose except to coax the group of nationalists who are all mushy in their heads.

Because Brazil's population is only more than 20 million now, less than 30 million, and 3 million is one-tenth, the United States cannot attract one-tenth of immigrants every year, why should Brazil?

Vargas attaches great importance to the arrival of Yang Chao, as a marginal country in South America, even if it always thinks of itself as a big country, it can really have little impact on the world.

This is actually a great mental blow to the Brazilian people, who feel that they have no say in the world and have a psychological imbalance of inferiority.

Not only do they have no voice in the world, but even in South America they are under the pressure of terror from neighbouring Argentina.

It's ridiculous to say that Brazil, as a large South American country with a much larger population, resources and land area than its neighbors, is truly afraid of its neighbors.

Because Argentina is too dazzling in this era, they are not rich in mineral resources, but they have the most fertile temperate soil in South America, the Pampas Plain occupies more than eighty percent of the country's land area, and it is said that from Buenos Aires by the sea, the plow will be pulled all the way to the Andes Mountains on the border with Argentina without touching a stone.

Such favorable conditions give Argentina a natural advantage in the development of agriculture and animal husbandry, and at this time they were the largest meat exporter in Europe, known as the meat bank of Europe.

Because of the development of agriculture, especially animal husbandry, Argentina has become the fourth richest country in the world after the United States, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, and is the most attractive country for European immigrants in South America.

With a large inflow of European funds, Argentina has established a relatively complete education system and welfare system, all of which compare the chaotic Brazil and make Brazilians inevitably have an inferiority complex.

If it's just that they're richer than Brazilians, that's secondary, and the point is that the two countries are real contenders.

Historically, Brazil was a Portuguese colony, Argentina was a Spanish colony, and there were territorial disputes during the colonial period.

And according to the geography of Zheng, Brazil's geographical environment is inherently bad, close to the Atlantic coast is the steep coastal mountains, dozens of kilometers away from the coast is the high uplift of the mountains, resulting in the low development potential of the Brazilian coast, this terrain is called the Brazilian shield.

What's more disadvantageous is that due to the existence of the coastal mountains in Brazil, Brazil is a country with abundant water resources, so many rivers have been formed on the shield, and these rivers are very abnormal from the coast of Brazil to the inland, so that Brazil lacks river transportation deep inland.

Since many rivers flow inland, some into the Amazon River, and some into the La Plata River on the border with Argentina, the control of the La Plata River is directly related to the security of the interior of Brazil, otherwise the more Brazilians develop the inland areas, the closer the interior is to Argentina.

In order to compete for the Río de la Plata, the largest navigable river in South America, the two countries fought fiercely in Uruguay soon after the founding of the country, and Brazil failed, and Uruguay seceded from Brazil and became a state of independence. Argentina won, thus firmly controlling the access to the sea of Brazil's inland rivers.

Brazil's fear of its neighbor Argentina has made Brazil always insist on good relations with the United States, and it is the first and only country that has always pursued the Monroe Doctrine of the United States, hoping to use the power of the United States to prevent the penetration of Europe and Argentina into Brazil.

But Argentina's good days are coming to an end, and the great crisis will knock Argentina back into shape, and it will remain at a standstill for the entire century, and in the BRIC era, it will not even reach half of Brazil's per capita income, becoming a typical example of a complete failed state.

Yang Chao knows this, but Brazilians don't, they can't believe that Argentina will be in a slump from now on, at most they think that Argentina will once again suppress Brazil after the economic crisis.

Therefore, Yang Chao was unashamed to put forward: "China has always adhered to the concept of win-win cooperation, and will help Brazil build its own industrial system, as a big country like Brazil, it is difficult to imagine without its own industrial system." ”

Yang Chao's attitude was of course welcomed by Vargas, and it could even be said to be joyful, a feeling of pie smashing his head from the sky.

Yang Chao announced that he would not only help the Brazilian government establish its own heavy industry and military industry, but also encourage Chinese capital to invest in Brazil under Brazilian law, and establish some light industries and food industries in Brazil, such as ginning, cotton spinning, flour, and meat products.

and loans to the Brazilian government to build more railways, improve infrastructure and boost commodity exports.

Yang Chao did not have any worries about providing loans to Brazil, Brazil was not Soviet Russia, Vargas was not Lenin, he did not have the courage to isolate himself from the international system, and he did not dare to rely on his debts casually.

The final $500 million partnership made Vargas seem to see an industrial picture of Brazil, and he was obsessed with forgetting his mother's name.

He ignored the things behind the cooperation, Brazil has rich land, it is indeed suitable for the production of sugarcane, and the establishment of a sugar ginning industry has natural advantages, but don't forget, sugarcane planting is the most dependent on labor in all agricultural production, sugarcane harvesters and seeders will not have mature models until the 80s, and China in the 21st century is mainly using manpower to plant and harvest sugarcane.

Similarly, the cotton industry is still the same, the United States only completed the mechanization of cotton harvesting in the 70s, and there is a 40-year technological gap, so it can still only use labor, and to use people, it is necessary to immigrate more labor, except for the Chinese, there is no best choice.

There is only one exception to the flour and meat industry, but the Chinese agricultural companies have worked with the Brazilian agricultural oligarchs to develop a lot of lower land in the Brazilian interior, and in 20 years, almost all the land that can be cultivated in the Brazilian interior has been divided, and the Brazilian flour industry can only import raw materials from these companies, benefiting Chinese farmers and farmers as well.

Brazilians can only get benefits in a meat industry, but they don't have machinery and equipment, and they have to import from China, Yang Chao has made a rigorous assessment, 500 million US dollars to Brazil, at least 300 million US dollars to flow back to China.

When Brazil is growing rapidly and spurred by this plan, it will be another wave of Chinese who are dying at a high speed.

Before the economic crisis, the number of Chinese immigrants had exceeded 1 million, and after the economic crisis, it has now exceeded 2 million, but it is still not the largest group of immigrants in Brazil, Germany has emigrated to Brazil more than 2 million after World War I, Italy has more than 1.5 million, and the largest is Japan, where Japanese immigrants have 3 million.

There is no reason why Chinese immigrants are less than Japanese, but due to the economic crisis, the speed of immigration has been greatly reduced, and it is better to stay in China and find a job at the National Reconstruction and Development Office than to immigrate to Brazil without a job, so last year immigration to Brazil was reduced to less than 10,000 for the first time.

This is also an inevitable result, Japanese immigrants often flow back to Japan in later generations, isn't it because Japan's welfare is good, in the early stage of industrialization, there will be a large number of bankrupt people, there is a great motivation for immigration, and after the completion of industrialization, not only is the labor force not in surplus, but will be greatly insufficient.

However, China's industrialization is far from over, and although it has begun to compete with the United States for the title of the world's largest industrial country, it is not even one-third of the United States per capita, and it is still far from completing industrialization, so China's labor surplus will continue for at least 10 years.

At least 2 million people should be emigrated in this decade.

The current Chinese immigrants in Brazil are mainly divided into three groups, one is the iron ore mining in Minas, and the other is the bauxite mining in the tropical rainforest, but the largest wave is the farmers who farm in the interior of Brazil.

The Chinese agricultural company headed by Zhang Jian has cooperated with the Brazilian agricultural oligarchs to develop more than 400 large-scale farms, with an average cultivated area of 100,000 mu, adopting China's perpetual tenant system, a strong laborer to contract 100 acres of land, a 100,000 mu of large farms, 1,000 such laborers, plus their families, there will be 2,000 to 3,000 of them, enough to form a complete Chinese village or even town, so there are hundreds of Chinese communities in the interior of Brazil. The total number of people has exceeded 1 million.

Chinese peasants are undoubtedly the most industrious farmers in this era, otherwise there would be no situation where the whole world is employing Chinese laborers, and they will not be idle in the off-season.

In the past, there were craftsmen, made a few tables, chairs and benches, did business, opened a restaurant, grocery store and other shops, around the inland agricultural community, the Chinese opened up hundreds of such small towns relying on agriculture, completely brought Chinese culture to Brazil.

It's just that because they are still relatively small now, and they are far away from the coastal areas inhabited by Brazilians, and there is no strong competition for survival, so except for a few nationalists, there are not many Brazilian political forces that want the government to take restrictive actions, and Yang Chao intends to form a Chinese community of more than 10 million people in Brazil before Brazil completely forms anti-Chinese.

Similarly, if Brazil can be more generous and accommodate these immigrants and cultures, China's 10 million people with basic education will definitely give birth to many outstanding talents, which will help Brazil's national strength to a higher level, and it will really become the hegemon of South America, and even have the initial qualifications to challenge the United States.

Everything depends on how Brazil chooses, but no matter how they choose, before they choose, Yang Chao must first do his own thing, at least until he helps Brazil complete industrialization, it is impossible for the Vargas government to exclude China. (To be continued.) )
