After the end of World War I, the economy of South America developed rapidly and the economic structure underwent significant changes. However, the economic levels and economic strength of each country were far apart. Brazil and Argentina established relatively complete national economic systems. The GDP accounts for about 2/3 of the continent, and the economies of Venezuela, Colombia, Chile, and Peru are also relatively developed.
Therefore, the next step for the Far East Group is Brazil and Argentina. In South America, the industry, mining and manufacturing are one of the most important. The mining industry is the basic sector of South American countries. Most of the minerals are exported to the United States, Venezuela, Argentina, Ecuador, Peru, etc. China's oil, Brazil, Venezuela, Chile's iron, Bolivia's tin, antimony, Chile, Peru's copper, Guyana, Suriname's bauxite, Peru's lead, zinc, silver, bismuth, Chile's saltpeter, molybdenum.
In addition, Brazil's niobium occupies an important position in the world in terms of output and export volume. The light industry is also the main body of the manufacturing industry in most small countries in South America. Meat processing, sugar, beverage, leather, textile, clothing and other sectors are relatively developed, steel, Heavy industries such as automobiles, chemicals, rubber, and machinery are concentrated in several developed countries such as Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, Chile, Peru, and Colombia.
Agriculture is also of great significance in the economies of South American countries. Cash crops occupy an absolute advantage in the planting industry. South America is cocoa, sunflower, pineapple, potato, cassava, Brazilian rubber tree, tobacco, cinchona tree, corn, tomato, yerba mate, and pepper. Origin of other cultivated plants.
Sugar cane, bananas, and coffee each account for more than 20% of the world's total production. Brazil's coffee and banana production both rank first in the world. Cocoa and citrus each account for about 25% of the world's total production, of which Brazil's cocoa production ranks third in the world, sisal production ranks second among all continents, mainly produced in Brazil, and Brazil's cassava production ranks first in the world.
South America can provide the world with most of the coffee, bananas, cane sugar and a large amount of cotton, cocoa, sisal, etc. Southeastern countries such as Argentina export a large amount of meat and grain, with a total number of cattle and sheep. It occupies an important position in the world. The coast is rich in anchovies, sardines, eels, seabass, tuna, etc. Peru and Chile are world-famous fishing countries. Most people in most countries in South America are engaged in agricultural production, but food production is still insufficient for self-sufficiency. Most people The country needs to import food.
Therefore, after Far East Group established its foothold in Peru, Li Ningyu began to consider comprehensively and choose between Brazil and Argentina. In the end, he chose Brazil because Brazil is the largest country in South America, and after merging Peru and Brazil, The entire South America was divided into two.
In ancient times, Brazil was a place where Indians lived. In 1500, the Portuguese navigator Pedro arrived in Brazil and declared Brazil to be owned by Portugal. Due to the plunder of Portuguese colonists, a large number of Brazilian mahogany trees began to be cut down, and the word gradually became the name of Brazil.
Afterwards, the entire colony came under Portuguese rule and was integrated along the Atlantic coast. In 1555, France invaded and was expelled by the Portuguese in 1565. The Portuguese ruled the Brazilian colony until 1630. In 1807, Napoleon invaded Portugal. The royal family moved to Brazil. In 1820, the Portuguese royal family moved back to Lisbon, and Prince Pedro Liuba became the regent. On September 7, 1822, he declared complete independence from Portugal, established the Brazilian Empire, and crowned himself emperor, called Pedro I. In 1825 In 2001, Portugal recognized Brazil's independence.
After the establishment of the Brazilian Empire, the system of the Braganza dynasty and the power of the Portuguese aristocracy remained intact. The large estate system and slavery still existed. Brazil was economically and politically dependent on the United Kingdom. Pedro I implemented Zhuanzhi rule in 1823.
The Congress was forcibly dissolved, and then the republican uprisings in the northeastern provinces of Pernambuco and other provinces were suppressed by force. It was not until 1889 that General Fonseca launched a coup to overthrow the Brazilian monarchy and establish the United States of Brazil.
However, the government of General Nifonseca has not changed the original appearance of Brazil. The poor people of Brazil are still living in a harsh living environment. Therefore, under such political background, it is not too difficult for the Far East Group to make a breakthrough. However,
At this time, the U.S. authorities also took what they considered necessary actions, which was to ask the United States of Brazil to impose military restrictions on the Far East Group's series of actions.
However, the authorities of the United States of Brazil are not all fools, so under the general trend, many people still turn to the Far East Group, so the first brief exchange of fire occurred on the border between Peru and Brazil. However, facing the powerful Far East Army, Brazil
The military had no strength to fight back at all, and finally had to ask for help from the United States. Therefore, the U.S. authorities took into account their own interests in South America and immediately sent the Pacific Fleet to support. However, on the way, they were intercepted by the Pacific Fleet of the Far East Navy. In the end, the two sides broke out.
A small-scale exchange of fire broke out, but both sides later claimed there was a misunderstanding.
With the arrival of the U.S. fleet, the United States of Brazil seems to have a backbone and the backing of the United States. However, they do not know that the current U.S. military cannot give them much help at all, because the Americans need to deal with the conflicts in the north and south border areas at the same time.
The Far East Army and the Mexican Army, coupled with the defeat in the European battlefield, the United States currently has less than one million Army troops. It is simply impossible to provide troop support. What is available is a series of weapons and saliva.
Therefore, the Far East Legion continues to advance. Although it is a bit far-fetched in the name of protecting Far East merchants, with the pace of the construction of the Far East Group, Brazilians gradually see hope and gradually understand that the Far East Group is not the enemy demonized by the government of the United States of Brazil.
, but friends and close associates.
Therefore, in the Far East Group's offensive, the United States of Brazil had to make concessions little by little until they had no way out. Facing the Far East Group's pressing pressure, the United States finally did not hesitate to give it a try, because they knew that now
A decisive victory is urgently needed, otherwise according to the development speed of the Far East Group, Brazil will become a pawn of the Far East Group in South America in less than a year.
Therefore, after the secret resolution was passed, the U.S. Navy, as the main force participating in the war, naturally began to secretly deploy troops and generals, and all actions of the U.S. authorities had long been under the secret surveillance of the Far East Corps.
So the Battle of Midway, as the first local battle after World War II, began to enter its final stage. This was also a famous example of the U.S. Navy defeating more with less. It started on June 4, 1911, but this battle was
The victory in the eyes of the U.S. Navy was not only a naval battle in the history of the Far East Group, but the United States also failed because although they repelled the Far East Navy's attack on the Midway Atoll, they did not gain the initiative in the Pacific region.
