In 1930s, the Portuguese expedition established a colony in Brazil. Brazil has a vast territory but few people, and has been worried that no one will develop it. The Portuguese once asked the Qing Dynasty to emigrate, hoping that Americans would emigrate to Brazil to jointly develop the largest country in South China.
Afraid of leaving any future trouble that is unfavorable to the country, the Portuguese colonists put forward three conditions: (1) they must become Brazilian citizens; (2) You must have a family member to accompany you, not a person; (three) must be employed in agriculture or industry, and shall not be unemployed.
People in China always move to another place. This condition is unacceptable to many people. Few people want to go because they have completely cut off contact with their motherland. The Qing emperor was also very dissatisfied with this, so he ignored it.
Seeing that China ignored this matter, the Portuguese colonists had to turn to Japan, which was sparsely populated. The Japanese were very happy and immediately agreed to the request, and then began to gradually transport a large number of workers to Brazil. By the beginning of World War II, there were more than one million Japanese immigrants in Brazil.
Faced with Japan's unbridled aggression in World War II, Portuguese colonists became nervous and worried that Japan would attack Macao, so they asked Brazil to send a note to Japan, which read: "If the Japanese invade Macao by force, Brazil will drive all Japanese overseas Chinese back to their own countries."
If one million people are invited from Brazil and rushed back to Japan together, it will not only cause chaos, but also cause a lot of trouble. Therefore, under this pressure, Japan did not invade Macao in World War II.
The combat area during World War II was as high as 22 million square kilometers. Japan occupied Korea and Taiwan Province Province, and invaded China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries in World War II, as well as Hong Kong, which was then a British colony. In fact, Japan's ambition has already arrived in Macao, but it was forced by the environment to save Macao from this disaster and eventually not be invaded.
