855 Conciliation

The arrival of the Great White Fleet made the whole of Brazil concentrated. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The Big White Fleet, with a total tonnage of more than 600,000 tons (supply ships) and a total crew of more than 20,000 people, can be said to be the essence of the Datang Navy. Of course, at this stage, Datang's stronger strike power is the aircraft carrier fleet, and Datang's aircraft carrier fleet is still taking shape. The Great White Fleet is dominated by battleships, which can be said to symbolize the supreme strength of the Datang Navy before the transformation.

Because of such a fleet, no matter how softly Datang speaks, it sounds like thunder to other people's ears.

In the ceremony of the Navy's visit, the visiting ship is one side, and the host country must also have a receiving ship. Generally speaking, the size of the receiving ship should be similar to that of the visiting ship. Of course, in this world, there is no warship of comparable specifications to the Datang Navy. The Brazilian Navy itself is a small navy, even ranking third among the five South American countries, ahead of La Plata and Peru.

The flagship of the Brazilian Navy is a type of 5,200-ton light cruiser ordered from Datang, and only two are purchased in total, plus four frigates of more than 1,000 tons and gunboats ranging from tens to hundreds of tons, which form the current Brazilian Navy.

The Brazilian light cruisers looked so small in front of the Datang White Fleet, and all the Brazilians who welcomed the arrival of the Datang Navy at the dock could clearly see the gap between the two countries, which was desperately huge. The entire crew of the Great White Fleet is even more than the entire Brazilian standing armed forces.

Some overseas Chinese in Brazil excitedly waved small flags on the pier and let out cheers. They were able to pass through the world and be respected by all countries in the world because they had such a powerful navy behind them.

That night, the Brazilian government and military hosted a banquet for the officers of the visiting Datang Navy, and the Great White Fleet will stay in Rio de Janeiro for several days. Over the course of several days, the officers and men of the Navy will take turns touring the city in batches. Domestic media joked that this was the most exaggerated and largest group tour group of this era. Navy soldiers have a little money, and they buy souvenirs and take pictures in the streets of Rio de Janeiro. Some enthusiastic Brazilian girls hope to have a romantic relationship with a handsome and golden Tang naval sailor or officer, but Datang's military discipline is no joke. Unlike the other US military, which is also deployed globally, the US military will poke the basket wherever it is deployed, and the Tang Army rarely has such a situation. Strict discipline and ideological education are the main reasons.

While the soldiers were touring and communicating, Ouyang Xuan of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was seizing the time to deal with the crisis that Brazil is now facing. Datang actually doesn't like to wipe other people's butts very much, Brazil is like this, and all the responsibility lies with themselves. However, the problems in Brazil may make Datang bear the consequences, which is unacceptable to Datang. So the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must step in as a mediator.

La Plata also offered to participate in the negotiations between Rio de Janeiro and the state of Sulli, but Datang rejected their offer because the Latin American side was not in a position to participate in such negotiations.

Since Ouyang Xuan officially stated his intervention in this incident, La Plata knew that he had no chance to muddy the waters. La Plata has a bit of strength, which is also relative to Brazil, and more than forty percent of the citizens of La Plata are Chinese, and they can't do anything without the support of Chinese political forces.

The negotiations between the representatives of the two sides of Nanli and Rio were carried out on the aircraft carrier of Datang, and the reason why this place was chosen was because of its neutrality and at the same time showed Datang's attitude. Datang's iron fist is here, and no one can help but give Datang face.

Ouyang Xuan has no intention of completely solving the problem of mountaineering in this part of Brazil, and Datang should not completely solve this matter for Brazil. In fact, Datang does not have the patience and willingness to solve this problem once and for all. Even if Ouyang Xuan knew that the method of making concessions and reconciliation between the two sides would cure the symptoms but not the root cause, Datang only needed South America not to mess up, and other problems could be solved later.

Ouyang Xuan did not directly come up with his own plan to the Brazilians, but simply expressed an attitude: he hoped that the two sides would cede a step and resolve the situation peacefully while maintaining unity and the authority of the central government.

Nanli Prefecture first put forward its own conditions, demanding a substantial reduction in the fiscal and tax payments to the central government, the state government retaining a large amount of autonomous powers, and the central power must not interfere with the laws and policies formulated by the state government and the state legislature within the framework of the constitution.

Tilla/Dentes were reluctant to accept such a clause, and it was clear that if this precedent was set in the state of São Paulo, a series of powerful local authorities in the state of São Paulo would demand the same terms from Rio de Janeiro, and the power of the central government would be further weakened. However, if it is consoling, before that, these places did not take the central government of Rio seriously, and many places did not pay their taxes at all.

If such a rule is in place, then Brazil will become a de facto federal state (the main plane is unitary because Brazil was established by the national revolution), and although the financial resources of the Brazilian central government may be expanded, it will be extremely difficult for Rio to control each local government.

Tila and Dentes did not have much choice but to bargain, and the two sides fought over the proportion of fiscal and tax payments and the officials assigned by the central government to the local government, and finally the negotiations were completed with difficulty. The outcome of this negotiation was to preserve legislation, to avert the catastrophe of war, and to move Brazil further and further down the path of local mountaineering and partial oligarchy.

After that, Ouyang Xuan proposed Datang's new opinions to Tira/Dentes on behalf of Datang. Ouyang Xuan believes that the fundamental reason for Brazil's political separation is that in terms of geographical pattern, Brazil, which has a vast area but inconvenient transportation, cannot form close ties. If Brazil can strengthen economic ties between regions to promote economic integration and cultural identity, the situation of mountaineering and oligarchy that Brazil faces will be greatly alleviated.

Brazil itself has no money and no ability to realize road construction and economic development, so it is better to further open up Datang capital and technology into Brazil. In this way, the Brazilian central government will be able to tie all the states together in a soft-power way, promoting integration and political unity.

Ouyang Xuan's words were very convincing, and Tila/Dentes were also quite moved. Now Brazilians also understand one thing, that is, it is useless to beware of Datang. Because Datang has the ability to kill any country that he doesn't like. (To be continued.) )
