Chapter 585 Paraguay is also what the people want (first update, please subscribe)
Since ancient times, since ancient times, poor people have put aside disputes!
These words are good advice for any era. Daming's ambitions for Japan are unknown, but his ambitions for Paraguay are clearly revealed.

Almost at the same time as the Japanese mission entered the Daming Palace, the Brazilian secret envoy, Minister of Foreign Affairs Jose Palajos, quietly walked into the manor of the "uncle of the unknown country" Zhu Guozhong in the suburbs.

The two of them are old friends. This old friend is not polite, but a fact. When Zhu Guozhong was young, he also visited Rio de Janeiro. Ser Palajos is also a fellow.

When old friends met, they were naturally very enthusiastic. Zhu Guozhong directly invited Joseph Palajos into the smoking room. Naturally, the two were talking about their old friendship.

What about this lady, that lady? Of course, Zhu Guozhong would definitely not talk about the Countess and Miss.When he learned that the famous dancer in Rio was infected with syphilis and had already been admitted to the madhouse, Zhu Guozhong couldn't help but feel a little scared. Fortunately, he had already left Rio.

After finally talking about the past, the earl directly cut to the point and said.

"Old friend, I am here this time for the future of our two countries,"

Finally here, Zhu Guozhong thought.

"It's better this way, what should come will always come!"

Still, he said:
"I don't know what you mean?"

"Of course it was the agreement our two countries reached back then, and now it's time to implement the agreement."

Joseph Palajos lit a cigar and said.

"Aren't you impatient too long ago? His Majesty the Emperor believes that the time is ripe now!"

Agreement, what agreement?
Of course, it was a secret agreement affiliated with the "Nanhua-Brazil Treaty of Friendship and Commerce". According to the agreement, Nanhua obtained the right to move freely in Paraguay, while Brazil obtained the right to move freely in Uruguay.

In other words, Brazil agreed to Nanhua's annexation of Paraguay, and Nanhua agreed to Brazil's annexation of Uruguay.

In the past three years, although Nanhua became Ming Dynasty, the secret treaty is still there, and both sides are preparing for this day.

Now, Brazil has run out of patience.

"So, you have decided to take action against Uruguay?"

Brazil's ambitions for Uruguay are also well known. The reason why the two sides reached an agreement at the beginning was because the ambitions of the two sides were surprisingly consistent.

"Yes."

Nodding his head, Joseph Palajos said directly.

"We plan to complete the annexation of Uruguay in the near future. Of course, we need to thank you. Without your pressure on Uruguay, our army will not enter Uruguay smoothly."

His so-called pressure was that after the French expedition, the Ming Empire sent a diplomatic note to Uruguay, asking them to give up their support for Miter and other regimes in exile.

Uruguay, who had received the diplomatic note, was naturally extremely nervous. Facing the threat from Ming Dynasty, they almost had no choice but to invite the Brazilian army to station in. With the permission of the Brazilian army to station, they disarmed the Argentine government-in-exile, so the crisis was eliminated. , but the Brazilian army has no intention of leaving.

This station has been stationed until now.

"It's just a little effort..."

Zhu Guozhong put the cigar next to the ashtray, then picked up the teacup, and took a sip of tea. He didn't continue talking, but thought of His Majesty's instructions before the Earl arrived in Yingtian.

Brazil can no longer control their ambitions, they want to annex Uruguay, let them do so!
After all, the two parties have an agreement is not.Moreover, our layout in Paraguay is almost mature!
After thinking for a while, Zhu Guozhong said,
"If you act, we hope to help us solve a problem during your action."

"Is it Mitre? This trouble will definitely be dealt with!"

Joseph Parajos nodded, but he immediately felt that what he said was inappropriate: "Perhaps, he would think that I said this to please them——so he specially added:
"It will be dealt with like other troubles. After all, they are troubles."

"Well, indeed, they're trouble."

Zhu Guozhong gave him a meaningful look, and then said.

"Then our actions in Paraguay."

"We don't object either!"

Joseph Palajos replied directly.For Brazil, it is enough to eat Uruguay. As for Paraguay, the land that should be ceded has already been ceded, and even the compensation... Well, according to Rio de Janeiro's decision, it has been temporarily put on hold.

"Since neither of us has any objections, we can discuss some issues first..."

That night, the results of the negotiations were presented to Emperor Zhu. After hearing Zhu Guozhong's report, Zhu Xianhai sighed.

"Hey, in the future, there will only be two empires left in the La Plata Valley!"

The Argentine Republic is gone, and the Republic of Uruguay and Paraguay are about to be annexed by the two empires.

The monarchy has finally gained the upper hand in the South American continent!

"They didn't mention the issue of compensation?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, just like the information we obtained before, the Brazilian side's idea is to hope that after we annex Paraguay, they will let us inherit its debts under the pretext that we will pay for it. After all, our repayment ability must be Better than Paraguay."

Before Zhu Guozhong finished speaking, Emperor Zhu laughed loudly.

"Why are the Brazilians so naive? They point to us paying compensation for Paraguay? Is it possible?"

Historically, after the end of the Paraguay War, Brazil's occupation lasted until 1876. The coalition forces demanded sky-high compensation from Paraguay, mainly from Brazil.The compensation totaling 14 billion pesos was never fully paid until 1943 when Brazil couldn't help it and reduced the compensation.

Now those Brazilians actually naively thought that they could take advantage of the opportunity of Daming's annexation of Paraguay to transfer the compensation to Daming.Those people can really dream.

"Of course they didn't think about how much we would pay, but they believed we would. After all, their troops are in Paraguay!"

Zhu Guozhong said with a smile.

"So they feel like they have the initiative."

"Hmph, initiative? What sovereignty do they have?"

While sneering, Zhu Xianhai said again.

"Hmph, do they think we will directly annex us by force like them? What era is it now? Who would do this? They don't even know what is public opinion and what is public opinion. Inform Paraguay and let them start to act Come on. Teach those brazilians a lesson."

When referring to public opinion and popular support, Zhu Xianhai's tone was full of irony.In fact, even in this era, didn’t the United States in North America use their immigrants to stage the so-called public opinion in Mexico?
A group of foreigners went, talking about the pursuit of freedom on the land of other countries.Talk about what makes foreign governments respect their choices.

Those Americans can really tell!

But having said that, power in this world is axiom and there is only one reason.Even if there is no reason, they can still create a reason in a high-sounding manner. Daming should learn from this point.

Even if it cannot be done since ancient times, it can still conform to the will of the people, the will of the people!
