After completing the internal cleansing of Maria Town, Saint Jose reorganized the personnel of Thunder Cross Team 3 and promoted the more reliable Constantine as the person in charge.
As an auxiliary police force, the Maria Town Militia Company also conducted a wave of Argentinian-style patriotic education, and at the same time removed some people with obvious problems from the ranks.
The policies of the militia company were once again improved and the management structure was optimized, including strict management of firearms and ammunition, and the loss of firearms and ammunition was strictly prohibited.
The management of several factories was also optimized by him. Some unscrupulous people simply told them to get out, spit out what they had eaten, and simply sent them away if they wanted to deny it. He was merciful if he did not send them to prison.
Then the rest of the time was spent running to Rosa's house every day, spending the winter vacation with the two little ones, and staying overnight.
…
The next day,
San Jose followed Guerrero's convoy, preparing to go to Oran City,
The mayor of Cavo, the factory directors, and Rosa also waved goodbye to him. The relationship between the two has improved a lot during this time.
Then we left Maria Town and headed for the Potassium Triangle. The scenery along the way was quite good. The total journey took about three days and two nights. We didn’t drive at night and found a place to stay in a nearby city.
The city of Oran is the capital of Oran County and one of the largest cities in the upper reaches of the Ermejo River, belonging to the province of Salta.
To the north of Oran County is Bolivia, a small border county with a much larger population than Maria Town.
The climate of Oran City is completely different from that of Maria Town. It mainly belongs to a subtropical ecological environment. Its jungle structure is more complex, there are more species, and there are many rivers, trees, and grasses. These conditions are more complicated than grasslands and deserts.
San Jose has even seen a variety of strange wildlife, including crocodiles, squirrel monkeys and the giant rodent capybara, as well as a variety of birds.
This is also a transition zone between mountains and grasslands, and the climate is hotter, with rain and heat at the same time.
At the same time, it has a subtropical humid climate and a transitional plateau and alpine climate. The transportation is very convenient, and there are quite a lot of grapes planted. You can also see many grape planting estates on St. Jose Road.
There are many smooth cement piles in the manor, and many grapevines are entangled with them. Because it is autumn, all the leaves have fallen off.
This seems to be a good place to build a winery. There are many grapes and the quality is good.
Along the way, the road conditions in remote areas of Argentina were average, probably equivalent to the level of village roads in the previous life. There were even dirt roads in some places, which were very bumpy. I experienced a roller coaster.
"Boss, the conditions on this section of the road are relatively poor, and there are still people setting up posts to rob."
St. Hesse also experienced what "simple folk customs" mean. Armed robberies, most of the checkpoints gave money to pay for travel expenses, and in serious cases, they had to show off.
"Guerrero, the people here are really simple." Saint Jose saw many varieties of weapons.
"Unless necessary, conflicts rarely occur over this. After all, it's just a toll, and they are not willing to kill people indiscriminately." Saint Jose explained.
"Damn it, is that an Ak47?" Saint Jose saw a familiar gun and couldn't believe it. There are Soviet arms in South America now? It shouldn't be.
"Gattuso stopped the car and asked that guy where the gun came from." Saint Jose ordered. He didn't even get the Ak47, but a bunch of village bullies got one. It was amazing.
"Boss, their guns are smuggled goods. They seem to have been obtained from a country called Yugoslavia? He doesn't know. He said they are not very easy to use. If you want them, they can sell them to us for 500 US dollars."
It should be just a look-alike. St. Hesse shook his head. The Ak47 was only installed in the Soviet army this year. It is impossible to appear in South America so soon.
"Okay, let's forget about it for now, what a hell." St. Hesse was a little surprised at first, but thought it was nothing. By then, it wouldn't be a big problem to go to Europe to get a few containers.
After a few minutes of delay, he continued on his way.
On the third day, after driving more than 100 kilometers, I saw a town that actually looked a bit prosperous. There were quite a few people carrying guns of all kinds, including shotguns, M3 submachine guns, Thompsons, Garands, and shotguns. gun.
The temperature here is still a bit hot, the streets are still colorful, and the temperature here rarely goes below freezing in winter.
St. Jose also saw some upright gambling farms. In each gambling farm, there were many girls working as waiters, laughing and cursing.
"Boss, this is Oran City. The population is estimated to be more than 70,000 to 80,000. The distribution of forces is very complicated. Our Thunder Group has been able to gain a firm foothold."
Guerrero said next to him that in the past few months, San Jose has expanded rapidly from being laissez-faire at the beginning to sparing no effort to support.
"We still need to go to the plateau in the Potassium Triangle. We will rest here for the next two days and replenish supplies. Boss, you can also walk around, but you must bring security personnel with you." Guerrero said solemnly, Boss Safety first.
"Well, I still value my life very much. You can bring a gun here."
"Yes, most of the time we turn a blind eye. There are some gun battles every day. We at Thunder Cross generally don't get involved in these messy things."
"Olan is the city of smuggling in Argentina. There are not only Argentines here, but also Chileans, Bolivians, Paraguayans, Americans, and British people." Guerrero was still introducing, and Sanjesé remembered the time he imported cans. Production line, I wonder if they have a base from here.
"There are gangs, guerrillas, government troops, smuggling companies, mining companies, tribal armies, and mercenaries here."
"What's the situation with the government troops here?" Although Saint Jose sent people to ship supplies many times, he didn't know much about Oran, mainly because he didn't have the time to understand.
"They are very weak. They are not willing to take charge. The salary of the government troops here is very low. It is mainly due to tax issues. The Oran government cannot collect taxes. Few people are willing to serve as soldiers. They are more willing to join gangs and other forces."
Guerrero shook his head and was not optimistic about the government troops here.
"I didn't expect that there is such a city in China. The world is so big and there are all kinds of magical things."
Here in the Potassium Triangle, the integrated development of Thunder Cross and Thunder Mining is integrated.
There must be strong security personnel to protect the wealth here, which is the law of the South American jungle.
Thunder Mining itself was born out of Thunder Cross. In order to facilitate the mining of salt mines here, St. Jose's inland water transport fleet will also transport the Thunder Group through the river every month to replenish supplies that are not available locally, and then escort them back to the fireworks factory for gunpowder. Essential raw materials for the factory.
As soon as you get off the bus in San Jose, you can feel the fanatical South American atmosphere. There are many Indians walking on the road, many of which are not native to the country at first glance, and some are obviously dressed as Gaucho cowboys.
"Boss, the Indians in Oran City are mainly Inca and Guaraní. They can also speak simple Spanish and have armed tribes.
"The Guaraní are typical tropical forest Indians. The men fish and hunt, and the women cultivate maize, cassava and sweet potatoes."
"The place we live in is the West District. There are more Indians here. The East District and the North District are mostly darker places. We just passed by. The security conditions in the West District are relatively better and there are more supplies."
"There are very few Incas left." Saint Jose himself is a Gaucho, a mixture of Indians and whites, and some Indian ancestry can be vaguely seen.
At the beginning, the Spanish white people who had no land wandered around, and some of them combined with indigenous women. Gauchos are their mixed descendants. Gauchos also mean vagrants and prodigal sons. Most Gauchos have poor ancestors.
Most of the Gaucho soldiers had nothing to do and often got drunk. The strong stimulation of alcohol gave them stomachache and nausea and kept them awake all night.
St. Jesus suspected that he was influenced by his predecessor. He was still a heavy drinker, but his drinking capacity was really not that good. After he stopped drinking, he had no problems.
It used to be that every time I got drunk, I would always have various problems, including random thoughts and nonsense. I would even say some weird things the next day and I couldn't control it at all.
It may also be the reason why he didn’t drink yerba mate after he was drunk. Yerba mate has a good hangover effect.
The main reason is that my soul is not used to drinking. I only drank it two or three times, and I was very repulsed by it. I gradually stopped drinking.
He prefers to drink green tea, black tea, oolong tea and the like, which are more healthy and gentle and do not have so many additives.
In fact, regular drinking of mate tea can protect the liver and kidneys, strengthen the brain, eliminate fatigue, promote blood circulation, and can also solve the problems of insomnia and excessive sweating. Cleaning wounds with boiled mate tea water can also help kill viruses. .
"Mate tea looks a bit like an energy drink." This is one of the reasons why he rejects mate tea.
He felt that his predecessor was somewhat addicted to yerba mate, so he was vaguely repelled. Unless necessary, he would not drink it most of the time and would rather drink soda.
The group of people also showed their weapons, and they looked like they were not easy to mess with. Pedestrians on the road avoided them one after another. After walking for a minute from the gate, they arrived at a small manor.
"Boss, this is our small manor base in Oran City. We will stay here tonight. It is relatively safe here." Guerrero explained.
Saint Jose then took a look at this small manor. The environment was quite elegant, and the surrounding trees were relatively lush.
Because these trees are quite big, it’s not so hot anymore and it’s quite cool.
Guerrero arranged for the chef to cook a meal of local specialties. Saint Jose had a moderate appetite and put it down after eating a few bites. The cleaning servant put away the tableware at Guerrero's signal, and then Guerrero left. He was going to make some outside. It would be a waste to prepare supplies and go up in an empty car.
Saint Jose read the newspaper in boredom for a while, then moved into the small manor.
This time I walked on the road for two or three days without much rest. Just as I fell asleep, there was a sudden noise outside.
"Boss, a poisonous snake has crawled in. Please pay attention."
A shout came from outside, which made Saint Jose jump out of bed.
"Damn, what's going on?" Saint Jose thought speechlessly,
A two-meter-long black-and-white viper was walking quickly on the ground and was about to run up to Saint Jose.
Soon after, Saint Jose quickly reached out to grab the viper's tail, slapped the viper crazily, and killed it before he was stunned.
"Who are you? Don't go in." Then I heard the girl's voice again, and I could only understand a few words.
Many people may have never seen a real snake since childhood. The environment in the city is good.
Even if I saw it in the zoo, I could not feel the coldness and fear of the snake through the glass.
It’s strange. Most people are naturally afraid of snakes. In my previous life, I had only seen various snakes in zoos.
Whether it's a venomous King Cobra crossing a mountain peak or a green viper with green bamboo leaves, if it is placed in front of you, most people will have inner fear, which comes from the conditioned reflex in their genes.
Saint Jose was also a little frightened. He still felt like he was holding a slippery and cold snake tail in his hand.
I was thinking about using it to skin snakes and make porridge to drink, but I also felt that I had a problem in my head. There are probably many snake parasites in this kind of snakes.
To be honest, he was also afraid of snakes. This was the first time he caught a big snake. He was trying to calm down his wildly beating mood, and the hand he held gradually loosened.
At this time, an Indian woman came in. She looked at the viper in Saint Jose's hand, her expression immediately changed, she muttered a lot, and she looked like she was scolding him, leaving Saint Jose speechless.
"Hey, can you speak something understandable?" Sanjesé spoke Spanish. Normally, they all know some Spanish.
The two of them speculated for a long time before they learned that this Inca beauty was called Nora Messanders. She lived nearby, and the snake was her pet. She accidentally escaped and was killed by Saint Jose. ,
She wants him to pay or else she will find his brother to come over and beat him up.
Only then did he realize that such a bloody nozzle thing could also happen to him. Damn, this woman must be mentally ill. Keeping a viper as a pet is a mess.
I was about to curse, but I took a closer look and decided to let it go. Good men don’t fight with women, especially beautiful women. They get preferential treatment.
This Indian girl has a tall and perfect figure, long and straight thighs, and is dressed coolly.
Those sharp black eyes and sexy lips,
His personality seems a bit self-centered, and he is probably the one who is favored by his family.
There was some blue and white camouflage painted on his cheeks, and his hair was styled into two braids. He was full of a wild atmosphere, and he was probably not too old.
In his impression, most Indian women did not meet his aesthetic taste. Their skin was darker, rougher, and looked a bit like a woman to a man. This one named Nora was indeed very good-looking, and he didn't know if she was of mixed race or something.
At this time, Guerrero also came in from the outside. He happened to see Nora and the boss, and a viper was beaten to death on the ground. He breathed a sigh of relief. Damn it, the boss was scared on the first day he came here. It’s really annoying. , things are always going on lately.
Saint Jose picked up the snake and handed it to the girl, but she threw it to the ground and stepped on it.
Saint Jose was stunned and speechless again.
"Guerrero, please send this crazy woman out. I'm going to bed. Pay her the money for the poisonous snake and tell her to get out of here. By the way, the snake is already dead, so throw it away."
Saint Jose yawned and ordered. He was a little too sleepy and had just broken out in a cold sweat. He didn't care what he was doing to people of unknown origin. He was not a good person.
"Yes, boss," Guerrero bowed and then said to Nora
"You've disturbed our boss's rest. Please leave. I'll take care of the money." Guerrero seemed to speak Indian.
The girl just cursed and left, and she probably cursed Saint Jose a lot.
Saint Jose then locked the door and slept peacefully. It was really dangerous here in Oran, and there were vipers. Even though they were other people's pets, if they were bitten, they would probably be doomed.
"What the hell is this kind of woman? She's got water in her head."
In the next two days, Saint Jose also experienced the complexity of the situation, with all kinds of people, Bolivian guerrillas getting supplies, guns and ammunition here, foreign monopolies, mining companies, and mines setting up branches here. , buying and selling resources,
Mineral exhibition hall, spinach underground city, urban farmer's market, Jiyuan, Indian village militants, and gangsters selling cocoa powder and trading guns,
It is full of prosperity and chaos. It is also a paradise for crime, gold selling caves, various illegal workers, and miners. It is also an important population transfer station. Many people smuggle into the country through here, and then go to Rosario and Bui. North Aires.
…
Eight years ago, the Administrative Region of Greater Los Andes was redivided into three provinces, namely Catamarca, Jujuy, and Salta.
The Greater Los Andes Administrative Region is a land that was merged into Argentina from Bolivia, so there are many separatist forces here. In order to prevent them from growing bigger, a total of four small provinces were separated. This is also one of the reasons why the Potassium Triangle region is relatively chaotic.
Among them, the small province of Tucumán was called the Republic of Tucumán more than a hundred years ago. At that time, Salta Province had strong separatist forces, trying to break away from the United Province of La Plata and become an independent country, but most of them were suppressed. ,
In the Triple Alliance of 1872, the Brazilian Empire, Argentina, and Uruguay fought against Paraguay. Paraguay was completely defeated and became a landlocked country, unable to recover.
Paraguay lost 40% of its territory in this battle, totaling 154,000 square kilometers.
Among them, Argentina occupied the Chaco region and changed it to the Chaco region. Later, the Formosa administrative region was separated from the Chaco region.
The original Chaco area was changed to the Chaco Administrative District, and last year it was named the Presidential Administrative District of Juan Bilon. The conditions for setting up a province are basically mature.
There are now several administrative regions in the country, not provinces, just to slowly digest the territory gained, starting from Law No. 28 passed by Argentina in 1862.
Establishing administrative regions outside the provinces, and then changing them to provinces when conditions are ripe to strengthen centralization, from the current point of view, it is still done well. The only thing that is more narcissistic is that Bilong established administrative regions in his own name.
Beginning in 1932, the Chaco War between Bolivia and Paraguay to compete for the northern part of the Grand Chaco once again brought the decline of poor and backward Bolivia and Paraguay to a low point.
This also gave Argentina a stable external environment, but the intervention of the Yankees also made South America begin to become his back garden.
The United States has laid two nails in the middle of South America, which can contain and control the development here. It is equivalent to locking up a part of Argentina. Compared with Argentina and Brazil, it can do nothing.
The Chaco War was a war with no victors.
Of course, Bolivia's losses were even worse. Since its independence, Bolivia has been bullied many times by Chile, Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay, and it failed to win this time.
This war resulted in the deaths of more than 100,000 people on both sides of Bolivia and Brazil. The economies of both countries were almost bankrupt. It also caused domestic political turmoil and heavy losses. The famous Bolivian guerrillas also began to appear.
In order to win the war, the two countries did not hesitate to borrow heavily. Bolivia alone borrowed as much as US$228 million.
As creditors, multinational companies such as Mobil Oil Company deepened their control over the economies of the two countries after the war, while international arms dealers such as Vickers directly obtained huge profits from the war.
At that time, Argentina, the United States and other countries served as the core mediators and took the opportunity to establish their prestige in South America.
In 1935, Bolivia and Palestine held ceasefire negotiations and signed the "Buenos Aires Peace Treaty" in the Argentine capital in 1938.
More than ten years ago, Argentina was a country with greater influence than Brazil in South America. It is still on par with Brazil and is at its historical peak. However, some of Juan Bilon's tricks have caused Argentina to begin to decline. Go up to the Yankees and raise South America, the CIA and the like.
The relatively chaotic Bolivia, Chile, and Paraguayans further away, as well as these borders, create a potassium triangle border zone.
At that time, San Jose also sensed the opportunity after Guerrero obtained some territory, and did not hesitate to invest heavily to increase the power of Thunder Mining and Thunder Cross in the Potassium Triangle and Oran City.
We hope to have the opportunity to challenge Mobil Oil Company's hegemonic position in the two countries in the long term, truly have a stable rear area, and continue to obtain labor resources from both countries to boost the development of its factories.
We need to contact the Cohen Company in Lucifer as soon as possible to settle in a branch. If we want to continue to expand in Maria Town, we must find more workers.
