595 Revolution without Backstage (Part I)
readx(); Portuguese colonial rule in Brazil was still strong, but the Brazilian National Revolution was also effective in infiltrating the country. In particular, Silva Xavier's infiltration of the colony's predominantly native-born white army made the colonial army of Surrender the main force in the fight after the outbreak of the revolution.
Unlike the revolutions of the three South American countries, which relied mainly on guerrillas, and the German revolution, which mainly relied on foreign armed forces from the Tang State and mobilized the common people of the country, the Brazilian revolution had a higher starting point in the initial stage and progressed more smoothly.
After a nine-day siege of Rio de Janeiro, Silva Xavier led the revolutionary forces to a complete victory thanks to the uprising of the masses in the city and the occupation of the colonial army's logistical warehouses. The fall of Brazil's largest city seemed to herald a bright future for the revolution.
However, the revolutionary army was defeated in the ensuing siege of São Paulo and was defeated by the relieved Portuguese army outside the city, suffering heavy losses. This battle dealt a heavy blow to the armed forces of the National Revolution, and caused some of those who saw the wind to turn against the rudder again, and some wavering people said no to the uprising of the National Revolution.
The victory in this battle also made the Portuguese realize that the Brazilian rebels were not as strong as they imagined, unlike the Germans, the Brazilian rebels were not equipped with a large number of advanced weapons, nor did they receive a particularly large amount of financial and material support from the Tang State, and even the Portuguese probing in open channels also showed that the Tang State was not obviously inclined and supported the Brazilian uprising, at least on the surface, which also made Portugal restore some confidence and decided to completely suppress the revolution.
So the king of Portugal began to send troops to Brazil from the mainland, and a colonial war of independence finally began to enter the stage of stalemate, and the Kingdom of Portugal and the Brazilian Revolution each occupied some more important areas, and both had opportunities, so the fight was more intense.
In the southeastern part of Brazil, with the exception of Rio, most of the more important and fertile regions were under the control of the Kingdom of Portugal, while in the Brazilian plateau and some inland areas, the forces established by the National Revolution began to gradually replace the already weak colonial government and establish a new independent government.
Since the strength of both sides is relatively limited, and there are no too obvious foreign interventionists, so the two sides are in a relatively wide area, with troops of small scale to fight repeatedly, each has won and lost, the Kingdom of Portugal has a slight advantage, but the national revolution led by Silva Xavier has also gained a firm foothold.
Silva Xavier has always been more cautious about the support from Datang, and the Portuguese are also reluctant to ask for support from other countries, because no matter which European country it is, it is easy to get behind it.
Datang's attitude towards the Brazilian revolution in general is positive and wait-and-see, Silva Xavier does not want to get a large amount of support from Datang, and Datang is also relatively poor in support, because Bai Nan believes that the scale of the recent internationalist revolution in the world is large enough, and Datang has paid enough to support the German Revolution before, and the domestic construction is also in full swing, and he has taken out a large amount of money to support Brazil. After all, Silva Xavier has promised Datang about the signing of the Mutual Aid Act, although if Brazil adopts Silva Xavier's strategy in the future, Datang will get far less benefits here than in the three South American countries, and even cannot fully control Brazil's economy, and then affect its society, but having a vast raw material and market is already very profitable for Datang.
Even if the Brazilian National Revolution ultimately failed, it dealt a heavy blow to the Kingdom of Portugal, and even completely shook the colonial rule of Brazil, and implanted the idea of equality and independence in the hearts of the local people. Even if the National Revolution is struck and destroyed, as long as the spirit is still evergreen, new organizations and groups will continue to be born. Therefore, Bai Nan's personal opinion is that it has nothing to do with him whether Silva Xavier can achieve ultimate success, because after this failure, Datang can also bring out other internationalist revolutionary organizations, and the brand of Brazilian National Revolution can continue to fight and gain more influence.
The Brazilian rebels still had a considerable amount of goods purchased from the Tang Dynasty, and although the Portuguese colonial government was trying to control them, there were still a large number of items imported from the Tang Dynasty that had not been approved, and eventually became weapons to facilitate the Brazilian revolution.
"If Brazil succeeds, we can then try to get a look at Guyana." Vice President Xue Yue is no different from half of his idle post now, he is not young anymore, and now he is basically inspecting everywhere on behalf of the State Council and the Presidential Office, not only inspecting the home states, but also inspecting the situation of some overseas consulates.
According to Bai Nan's idea, South America can not be all the land of Datang, but Datang must have its own status and rights in this land. Peru, Colombia and La Plata, although they have differences with Datang in many aspects, they all follow Datang's slogan in key matters. The three South American countries are typical regions that are not colonies, but rather colonies. Due to the reorganization of local production relations and the opening of a series of factories at the same time, the three South American countries gradually became a little fluttery and expanded.
But now the discussion is centered on Brazil, one of the most populous cities in South America, known for its street crime, and with excellent agents out there looking for new comrades.
"Guya, then, there may not be any hands left here now."
Guyana is a big name that is known to foreign entities in addition to Peru, Colombia, Hamburg Free City, etc., and has been successful in many places in Germany, but this means that the project is a bit too big.
Now the atmosphere in South America is divided into five parts, in short, it is not easy for Datang to have its own shining side in such a project. Guyana has a standard rainforest climate, hot and humid air, and the newly arrived soldiers may even do some strange things to cool off. Some of the recruits who lacked this kind of training were not so reassuring, and many began to use raw materials to start making other additives. Most of these things are inedible, and it is obvious that the specific image of the Germans, and the final image at this time, cannot be determined.
