To become a plutocrat in Argentina in the future, one must have a good background. Being an ordinary soldier will not bring much future no matter how much money you make.

The most he can become is a veteran soldier. His background as a Gaucho determines that his upper limit will not be too high. He who has not graduated from a military academy will definitely not be well promoted unless he can be a soft-cooker or something like that. , maybe he could become a company commander. Of course, Saint Jose had a good stomach, but he refused this.

There are not many ways to seek a good family background. For today's Saint Jose, there is no hope for poor families and nomadic tribes in remote rural areas.

Even if Saint Jose can become this captain, he is already like smoke rising from his family's ancestral graves. The current Gaucho chief of the Moira Tribe is just his ancestor who worked as a dog leg for the governor, and later made some money in the past wars. Foreign wealth, monopoly and becoming the patriarch for hundreds of years.

As far as Saint Jose knows, the powerful families in Argentina are now cultivating influence in universities and recruiting outstanding talents. Saint Jose has heard of a man named Congressman Tomps, who fell in love with the mayor. For several years he became a councilor of the city of Córdoba.

Saint Jose is now considered a moderate figure in the city guard, but that's probably the end of it. After all, the Gauchos are the bottom class of this country, and there may be only one way to change their fate - Go to college.

The upper echelons of the entire country have been controlled by the old aristocrats and the new aristocrats. Even though his fair-weather friend Abel is just a side branch, he actually still looks down on people like St. Jose. Now it is only profitable to look up to St. Jose. After all, he But a junior at Labrador University can pass the exam to become a civil servant or something like that after graduation.

Given Argentina's current level of affluence, only less than 5% of the country's population has attended university, and the degree of universal access is very low. Most people cannot afford expensive private universities, nor can they enter cheap public universities. University.

Reading newspapers also has the advantage of learning that the previous government left behind a policy that Argentina’s entire public university system and military academies plan to expand enrollment by more than half this December. This is a big opportunity. This policy will benefit more ordinary families. Child.

So to paraphrase a sentence, everything is of inferior quality, only good education is still very useful in Argentina’s current society.

Moreover, it is not enough for Saint Jose to study and review alone. Saint Jose also plans to find people in his team who are willing and have the foundation to train and study together, and prepare to take the exam together in six months, so as to unite some talents.

Saint Jose considered himself to be a layman, and had no choice but to unite the fellow villagers around him first, and gradually influenced the nearby Gaucho team. Saint Jose was not stingy with money, and directly went to the remote areas in the city. We rented a small building as a small base and found several school teachers to study together.



San Jose followed the patrol's motorcycle for a short stroll around the city. It was indeed a big county. Of course, it was very large in area. It also had various facilities such as universities. It was considered very wealthy, at least compared to ordinary counties in China. It’s still much better, reaching the level of fourth-tier cities.

The planning is still quite primitive, and many buildings from the viceroyalty era are left behind. Since its peak in the 2000s, Argentina's entire society has almost stagnated in development, and the entire city has a dull look.

“This is a fertile land gifted by God, but also a land cursed by resources,” muttered St. Jose.

There are too few people. The entire Argentine Federation now has a population of only more than 17 million, which is only equivalent to a megacity in China in later generations. And this land seems to be more fertile than India, which is very outrageous.

Moreover, the weather conditions are very good, with rain and heat at the same time and very few extreme weather conditions. It is one of the few fertile and wild places in the world.

In Saint Hesse's view, to become a world-class power, it must have a population of at least 70 to 80 million to support an ordinary version of the industrial system, or even at least one or two billion people.

Now Saint Jose is very envious of its neighboring countries, which have a population of 70 to 80 million. In a few decades, there will be more than 200 million and close to 300 million. At that time, Argentina only had more than 40 million, completely falling behind the world. .

Sure enough, it is better to encourage more children. The country on the other side of the ocean is full of waste. In a few years, it will have a fight with the most powerful country in the world, and in a few years, it will have a fight with the world's second most powerful country. countries, and then quickly developed its own industrial system. In just thirty years, this country, which is now far behind Argentina, will become a world-class power and a military power. It is really admirable.

Now that chaos is beginning to appear in Argentina, there are also some opportunities. There are not even many major powers that will interfere in this country. Even Britain thirty years later will only be barely a tie. It is a God-given opportunity. As long as Saint Jose can seize it, It is both a danger and an opportunity. There is only one problem at the moment: the government of this country is really bad.

Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle.

The Cordoba city government has now gradually moved in and stationed the National Defense Force. As the local leader, the Cordoba City Guard is of course a little unhappy. The four major local families also have their own security teams, which have been established in the past few years. A security company was established.

If the City Guard is a third-rate army, then the National Defense Force is a second-rate army. The level of the security force is the militia level. However, the weapons are barely adequate. Most of them are imported. However, the level of fighting is seen in St. Jose. Come on, this level of fighting is that of fighting in the countryside, which is about the same as that of black uncles in Africa. At most, it is about the same as fighting for public security.

Even the level of warlord melee was much higher than his. With gangs fighting, the air in the entire city of Cordoba began to become tense, and several murders even occurred.

The local police department has only a few hundred people and is extremely busy.

As a squad leader, Saint Jose gradually figured out the size of the city guard. There were about 5,000 garrison troops, divided into 100 squads to carry out city defense and simple public security maintenance, which was roughly equivalent to the size of a reinforced regiment.

The city government is also controlled by the City Guards. Now that the National Guard is stationed, it is a naked slap in the face. Although our City Guards are weak, you, the new one, are not even close to messing with me, so the two sides When conflicts began, the security company and local gangs occasionally intervened as third parties, and it seemed quite lively.

In addition to finding out the situation these days, Saint Jose has also been working on a series of connections. After all, the City Guards still have a lot of people, about one-fifth of them are composed of Gauchos, which can be regarded as a medium-sized force.

The small group was very active. After a few days of being low-key, San Jose began to become high-profile. Even now, there are only a few hundred thousand Gauchos in the country. Starting from Cordoba, they kept contacting various small groups. Whether they were pure Argentinian whites or Gauchos, I wandered around drinking, bragging, and eating, and I really got to know a lot of squad leaders and some characters.

Saint Jose even bribed his superiors and united with the Gauchos, and now he has a vague tendency to become a strong candidate for the election of captain. After all, our great Argentina is a democratic country.

This may cause dissatisfaction among some people.
