After arranging the affairs and logistics support of the Falcon Intelligence Group, except for the two intelligence officers who stayed behind, all the others were sent to the Potassium Triangle by St. Hesse, preparing to occupy the territory and buy potassium chloride raw materials. Well, it is relatively special. Way.

Seeing his men going so far just to buy some raw materials, Saint Jose felt a little regretful, but he soon became active. He was preparing to set up the newly established Maria Town Militia. Wouldn't it be a good opportunity?

Maria Town or Maria City, as an important city in Cordoba Province, Argentina, cannot be without its own city guard force. As the new shadow government leader of Maria Town, Saint Jose cannot Controlling a militia didn't make sense, so the happy deal began.

This militia force was submitted to the Ministry of National Defense and the Cordoba Provincial Congress. The Congress has no final decision on these things, so the signatory was Little Tomps.

Of course, you can't do anything too outrageous. Just create two or three companies of militia. They are nominally affiliated with the Maria Town Militia, but are actually the quasi-private armed forces of Saint Jose.

It just so happens that Saint Jose still has his own identity and position in the 8th Brigade of the National Defense Force. It was unanimously approved by the Maria Town Council and signed by Commander Tomps Jr.

St. Jose's officer, a staff officer with the rank of warrant officer, became the militia captain of the glorious town of Maria in a grand manner. An enhanced militia company with a total strength of 300 people was newly released.

Of course, the militiamen, you know, have backward equipment, little training, and scarce funds. To put it mildly, they are weak chickens. But with the support of weapons from Saint Jose, it is different.

Moreover, the initial soldiers of the militia were all veterans who had retired directly from the National Defense Forces. All the veteran subordinates were stuffed in, and they easily took control of this armed force.

Saint Jose's purpose is not to rebel or anything, but to protect the town of Maria. He usually does patrols, prevents crimes, and provides armed escorts. Anyway, the police station of Maria Town already has only a dozen people, big cats and kittens. Just enough to replace some functions.

Maria Town is a new small city. Unlike Kecheng, the church in Kecheng is more or less deeply penetrated. The local church in Maria is very weak and cannot collude with other town government forces.

The Maria Town Militia Guard, code-named MAPD, is affiliated to the national militia paramilitary system and is a reserve force. It can earn some national food and also help St. Jose with some private goods.

Saint Jose's status changed from an officer of the National Defense Force to the quasi-number two figure in the town of Maria, second only to the mayor of Cavo. Although the original mayor of Maria Town had the final say in the town of Cavo, Now he is considered a serious wild civil servant, but he has not completely separated from the Ministry of National Defense.

From now on, there will be no one to protect the city of Cordoba. Commander Tomps is almost ready to be transferred to the Ministry of National Defense. San Jose also has a stable rear area. The old factory in Cordoba can just do business honestly. People are here. I had to bow my head under the eaves.

It is worth mentioning that Chief of Staff Eureka was also promoted, and Saint-Jesse was a little bit broken in the thigh and failed to establish a good relationship.

At that time, he had to concentrate on preparing for the entrance examination of the University of Buenos Aires. Being a small staff officer could not satisfy Saint Jose's appetite. If the military system did not ridicule a staff officer who had not graduated from high school, Saint Jose would simply not After serving, I went to the commander to get him suspended without pay.

After all, he didn't have a college degree. Even if Saint Jose was conceited and had some talent, he was not willing to humble himself and get a job of flattering.

Of course, the militia guards are not our own after all, so the well-trained militiamen, as long as the conditions and opportunities are right, will arrange to quit and then join the Thunder Cross Security Company. To sum up, the militiamen you trained are good, and now they belong to me, Thunder Cross. Employees, this is also the glorious tradition of Saint Jose.

Your explosives factory is doing well, but it belongs to me now. Your employees are very promising and talented, but they will be my employees from now on. The quality of your minerals is very good, and it will belong to me from now on.

If the money is not enough, I will add more.



According to the development report of Mayor Cavo, the population of the entire Maria Township is 30,000 in the core township, 10,000 in the suburbs, and about 10,000 people go out to work, most of whom go to nearby places. Big cities, Rosario and Córdoba.

This year, starting from the petrochemical plastic bottle factory, the latest mold factory is put into operation, and the soda plant is also ready to be put into operation. More than 2,200 workers have been added. Some workers have brought their families with them, bringing another 2,000 people to Maria Town. , coupled with some population return, the development of the tertiary industry, and the construction of supporting facilities, in more than half a year in Maria Town, the permanent population in the central area of ​​the town reached more than 40,000.

Now Saint-Jesse is starting to arrange a new factory construction plan. The Rennes Explosives Factory has added nearly 100 workers, and the total population of Maria Town (including suburbs) has almost exceeded 55,000.

The whole town has become prosperous again, and the relationship between Mayor Covo and Saint Jose is getting closer and closer. It is Sean from the Rennes Explosives Factory who comes to urge Saint Jose to find a new director all day long, or else Come and stir up trouble and give Saint Jose some head-banging.

No, Saint Hesse was thinking about something and drinking tea when Sean ran over again.

"Boss, boss, something big happened"

"Sean, you said you are almost forty years old, why are you so frizzy all day long?"

"No, it's because the ammonia synthesis equipment is no longer sufficient. It's aging badly and is very dangerous! It's easy to explode and send our factory flying into the sky."

"Shift, didn't I just say last time that I had been using it for a few years? You old boy wouldn't fool me, would you?"

"The boss is shit, that's it. Boss, look, our explosives factory has to get most of the people out to make fireworks, but we can't give up in this business. Boss, you are quite rich, so why not buy a few sets?" New equipment for ammonia synthesis, our explosives factory needs to reserve more raw materials."

"You can't store this ammonia for a long time. Can you store so much of it?"

"Boss, have you forgotten the Sequoia Organic Fertilizer Factory?"

"What does this have to do with organic fertilizer? Don't change the subject."

"You don't know how ridiculous the profits of Sequoia organic fertilizer are. If you want to farm, you can't lack fertilizer. This thing is food for food."

"But we don't farm, so don't talk too much nonsense, just focus on the important points."

"The fertilizer market is huge, and our factory was originally small. When the scale expands in the future, there will be more and more by-products. We can't waste it. God told us that waste is shameful," Sean said worriedly.

"Can this still be used as fertilizer? Just waste it. We don't have time to do this now." St. Hesse's preparation of the militia guard is somewhat energy-consuming and time-consuming. He must first pull up the frame, support a deputy, and then prepare Went to school.

"Yes. Synthetic ammonia refers to ammonia directly synthesized from nitrogen and hydrogen under high temperature, pressure and the presence of a catalyst. Ammonia is an important component of nitrogen fertilizer. When we get potassium chloride, we can synthesize ammonium nitrate, as well as potassium nitrate. fertilizer,

It is very suitable as a chemical fertilizer. There is a drought in our country this year, and fertilizers are actually very scarce. The Sequoia Fertilizer Factory was able to develop so big because it imported guano from Chile at the beginning. Now it is really not good at making organic fertilizers. This is a good opportunity for our factory. "

"You said a lot, but I didn't understand a word of it. Do you have a grudge against Sequoia Fertilizer Factory? I see you said it more than twice."

"Actually, it's like this. I think the Sequoia Fertilizer Factory is seriously cutting corners. My family has thousands of acres of cornfields. I used their inferior fertilizer and the harvest failed.

After I got a lot of debt, I wanted to produce fertilizer myself and knock them out. But it turned out that there was no serious fertilizer factory in Argentina. My academic qualifications were not enough to enter a large state-owned factory, so I came to the Maria Rennes factory. Unfortunately, this is a small factory. Factory, until the young and rich boss came to me..."

"Stop, stop, stop, you can come up with such lame excuses. It's really a pity that you don't do sales. Can't you do it if I invest money? You should go to get more laboratories every day. It's better to do something big." firecracker"

"But, your family really has thousands of acres of cornfield, is it acres or something else?" St. Jose raised his head lazily. To be honest, four thousand acres of land is much larger than St. Jose's industrial park.

"My family does have 4,000 acres of cornfields, 7,000 acres of wheat, and 8,000 acres of pasture. However, I haven't made much money in recent years. Thank you, boss. The initial investment only costs 500,000 US dollars. You can buy it for less than 400,000 US dollars." I got some good sets of small reaction equipment..."

Seeing the slight change in Saint Jose's face, Sean immediately changed his mind.

"Your family is so rich and you still want to work in this small explosives factory. Are today's rich people so willful?" I was speechless. If these big landowners don't go home to cultivate the land to make gunpowder, wouldn't it be nice for them to just lie down?

"Boss, I'm actually an engineer, not a worker. That's the thing. My home is not in the province of Cordoba, but in the province of Salta. Although my family has a lot of fields,

But after I inherited it, I felt that although the income from farming was high, my ideal was to defeat the Sequoia Fertilizer Factory. The Sequoia Fertilizer Factory really screwed up our family. Now my younger brother is planting the land, and I get paid a year. I would like to pay some dividends, but unfortunately the investment in making fertilizers is too high, and I have never had the opportunity. "

"Isn't what you just said nonsense?" Saint Jose looked suspicious.

"I can swear to God and the Virgin Mary that everything I say is true, but it has been slightly edited..."

"Okay, as for the money, I don't know if I want to deal with it for the time being, but don't bother me in the future. You can also give me a quote for the equipment."

"The boss probably can't do this. You still have to make a decision on many things, such as the purchase of equipment, the selection of suppliers, the subsequent expansion of equipment, and there is only enough to buy one set, as well as raw materials and so on."

"He is really a stupid son of a landlord. Although he is a bit old, I really don't have that much money now,"

San Jose looked at the information provided by Sean and found out that the annual production of a large-scale ammonia plant, including urea and large-scale ammonia synthesis industrial equipment, was in the tens of millions of dollars. All the factories in San Jose were sold. Not enough to buy a set, I almost jumped.

Small chemical plants were better, but a set of equipment also started at US$500,000. The main production countries were the United States and the Netherlands. Saint Jose had a headache while looking at them.

This equipment plan is too huge. The construction period of a 150,000-ton fertilizer plant and a 200,000-ton fertilizer plant can easily take three to five years, and the investment capital starts with tens of millions of dollars.

But it felt a little better when I saw the back. Small equipment was still affordable. Setting up a small fertilizer plant was not a big problem, so I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, I will study this information. You can go back first. This matter cannot be rushed. I will consider it carefully."

I can't agree too quickly this time. Although this Sean is all for the development of the factory, if he agrees too quickly, he feels that he will get something bigger next time, so he must be cautious.

Sean left with a sad look on his face, his back a little bleak, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

Saint Jose almost couldn't help but call Sean, but he had better hold back and agree to him tomorrow.

Saint Jose went to the mayor of Cavo to discuss the formation of the militia guard, and had lunch there to finalize the specific details.

The hat has been put on, and Guerrero has also contacted two intelligence agents through special channels. Everything is normal on the road. It is expected that they can reach the Potassium Triangle the day after tomorrow, and the weapons and equipment can reach the designated place very quickly if they go upstream. Place.

Saint-Jesse went to the mold factory again, and work has already begun. The work is going well. The equipment of the newly established large-scale soda factory is also being installed and debugged, and the first batch of products will be produced soon.

After Saint Hesse was free, he read the newspapers. They were all international editions brought back by Lucifer from outside. Everything else in Maria Town was good, but there were too few newspapers. Saint Hesse hadn't read a newspaper for a long time. He had a drink. Coffee and leisurely reading.

"The United Nations forces led by the United States have been retreating steadily since they occupied Seoul in the North Korean battlefield. The counterattack failed. MacArthur said that he would break into New China." For such a great thing, I must add a chicken drumstick tonight. No, let's set off fireworks to celebrate.

It seems that MacArthur will be dismissed from his post in a few days, and the grasshopper after autumn will not be able to jump around for a few more days.

"American trial reveals egg leak case..."

"Hey, Sean, I'm Saint Jose, bring ten boxes of fireworks tonight and deliver them to my residence."

"Okay, boss, about the equipment..."

"I plan to buy the equipment. You don't have to worry. You can set off the fireworks yourself tonight."

"Ah, is it true? That's great. Boss, you are so wise. We will definitely kill the Sequoia Fertilizer Factory..." Sean, your uncle, the fertilizer factory has messed with you.

"Dududu..."

The boss must have been impressed by my hard work, Sean hung up the phone with emotion.

"Argentina continues to suffer from drought, and the Bilon government has begun a rescue plan to import food from Brazil again."

"The European Coal and Steel Community is ready to be formally established on April 18, and a contract will be signed in Paris." This is the future EU's big deal, and we will have to give it a try when the time comes.

The EU was able to develop and prosper at least until the early 21st century, when it was the third largest force after the United States and the Soviet Union.

"Brazilian pineapples are on the market on a large scale, and because the output is too high, the price breaks down the cost price." Saint Jesé no longer attaches much importance to canned products and ignores them.

"The Vargas regime is once again in charge of the Brazilian government and has an ambiguous relationship with the United States." If you don't recognize it, skip it.

He didn't see any other important information. He went to take a nap and planned to celebrate tonight. America stumbled, so Hesse was happy.
