Saint Jose showed satisfaction with Aragon's recent outstanding performance. Aragon is now able to stand alone, and he also has the talent to be a second-tier player.
People from the National Police Agency can still get in touch with each other. In fact, St. Jose has little contact with the military, and it is not currently registered with the military. The National Police Agency is a good uniting target.
Sure enough, successful people are not only born with good talents, but also have various acquired training. Thinking about Aragorn in the past, he was really a bit silly.
Aragorn smiled politely with Saint Jose, and Saint Jose thought that there was still some gap between the two of them.
In public places, Aragorn usually no longer directly calls him Boss, especially during meetings. Even the title Saint Boss seems to have happened a long time ago.
"Aragorn, I've really worked hard for you this time. You did a great job."
Saint Jose patted his shoulder seriously and helped him adjust the collar of his suit. He almost couldn't help but put his hand into his hair.
Nowadays, Aragorn's image is similar to that of the suit thugs in later movies and TV shows. On the surface, it is completely impossible to tell how powerful this guy is.
St. Jose found it very interesting. He was wearing a watch on his left hand and an engagement ring, but it was strangely worn on his little finger. He was meticulous and didn't like to laugh.
"It's all small things, and the better the company develops in the future, the better I can develop. By the way, boss, you are getting better and better."
Aragon is indeed much more mature now, and he is considering things more and more comprehensively. Saint Jose directly gave Aragon a bear hug.
"You kid, you have become too formal in private now. You are polite like a girl. There is no need. There are no outsiders here. We are all working hard for the future of our country. Moreover, the security in Putrajaya is indeed not very good. If we work together, Argentina's future will be better and better."
"Yes, boss."
It was rare for the two of them to have a fight.
…
General Thomas's residence was even more secure, and Saint-Jesse made an appointment with the general's office in advance to see anyone.
When Saint Jose met Thomas, he found that he was now very haggard, with several white hairs popping out.
The Ministry of National Defense has been under a lot of pressure recently. The Presidential Office is trying to consolidate the power of the navy, land and air force again, and is trying to divide and win over it. At the same time, it is preparing to continue to expand the power of the Ministry of National Defense.
A new round of military reform was carried out and a new police department was established to include the paramilitary force, that is, the police force. However, this was strongly opposed by the three major military departments of the military, so nothing was done.
Argentina now has four military departments: the Department of the Army, the Department of the Air Force, the Department of the Navy, and the Department of Defense. The four departments are parallel. In addition, national institutions, including government ministries, military police forces, and spy organizations, are all much larger than before. However, This division actually strengthened the military's power and reduced Bilong's control over the military. It can be said to have fostered a faction that opposed him.
Bilong's idea is that if the three armed forces are disobedient, then the navy, army and air force will be demoted to second-level departments, all under the Ministry of National Defense, and the Ministry of National Defense will become the largest military department.
Then add an obedient police department, a total of four departments, and then slowly deal with them. The military will definitely not be happy. Everyone was originally colleagues, but now they have become subordinates.
The Bilong government once attached great importance to the military and regarded it as an important pillar of Bilong's political system. Senior military officers held important positions in state institutions. The most important industrial sectors, such as metallurgy, aircraft and tractor factories, were all managed by military agencies. , the sudden emergence of steel plants and Rennes Industries is actually a major challenge to the military economy from the civilian economy.
As the current leader of the Cordoba Gang and the Blue Faction, Tomps is unlikely to defect to the Presidential Palace. Moreover, he also believes that the popularity of the Presidential Palace is declining. Bilon will step down in one term at most. He does not want to ruin himself. career.
Argentina currently has three major military forces. The most powerful military force is the Argentine military, including the navy, land and air force. The second is the Argentine police force, and the third is the Labor Federation. The latter two are to contain the increasingly powerful of the three armies.
The Argentine Federation of Labor, an organization that San Jose actually pays little attention to, was founded by the Argentine Republican Party and then seized power by the Justice Party led by the Bilon couple. It is now a subsidiary of the Bilon Party.
The Labor Federation had only 260,000 members in 1943. After being controlled and expanded by Bilonga, it had 3 million members in 1951, and the number was still increasing. They had their own tanks, machine guns and pistols.
Perón mainly controlled the trade union movement through the Ministry of Labor. In October 1945, the "Professional Federation Law" enacted by Peron and his government stipulated that only unions recognized by the Ministry of Labor can obtain legal status, and the Ministry of Labor can only grant each The legal status of one trade union in each industrial sector.
As a president, he must have his own team, know the basics, trust and rely on each other, which means that the team members who helped him grow in the early years will naturally become members of the team around him.
In June 1943, the "Unified Officer Corps" composed of nineteen Argentine officers overthrew Castillo's rule, declared martial law, and formed a new government.
But then the weakness and laxity of the unified officer corps was exposed. They issued declarations full of clichés and nonsense, but could not come up with a unified policy plan. They quickly began to crush each other and were suppressed.
At that time, Bilon had already served as the deputy minister of defense. He once controlled the army and the police force, and finally launched a new president. Then Bilon became the vice president, and finally went to prison. After he came out, he directly ran for the president.
The current Ministry of National Defense, under the leadership of the military, has begun to sing the opposite tune, as have the other three ministries. Of course, the Ministry of National Defense is in fact the largest department, and it also represents the coalition of wills of all parties.
Nothing has happened now. In fact, it is because Bilon controls two important military forces, the Argentine National Police and the armed forces of the Labor Federation. But now the Labor Federation has been attacked by other forces, especially the suppression of the labor movement last year, which made the labor The reputation of the Federation has been greatly reduced.
"Cohen, what do you think Bilong means now? Does he really want to support the Ministry of National Defense? Or is he taking the opportunity to cause trouble?"
Little Tomps suddenly wanted to hear Saint Jose's opinion.
"General, I think Bilong is really anxious. He can't do anything right now, and he seems to be showing signs of falling out with the Pope. The military is opposed to the labor federation. This is to make him cut himself off. So he became ruthless and wanted to tear down the military."
St. Jose had nothing to say, but simply said something else and a piece of news.
"I really don't know if Bilong has lost his mind or something recently. Some of the decisions he made were messy."
"The force of the Labor Federation should not be underestimated. They have seven or eight tanks. Moreover, the military is not a monolith, nor is the Free Officer Corps. The blue faction and the red faction, to put it mildly, are just because of the young officer corps. That’s why we had to divide into factions to fight.”
Bilong used to be a good team player, and he succeeded in betting almost every time.
"Actually, I guessed a reason, that is, the union is trying to break away from his control. As for the reason, it is very simple, that is, Mrs. Bilong is dying."
St. Hesse once again said a reason. A large part of the union or Bilon's supporters came from Mrs. Bilon, but Mrs. Bilon herself did not have a few months to live. Bilon was obviously aware of this problem. .
In addition, the military officer force represented by the Free Officer Corps has begun to escape his control. The original Xiao Tiantian has now become Mrs. Niu. This, to a large extent, made Bilong aware of the crisis.
"Mrs. Bilong is dying? How did you know this kind of news? Logically speaking, you don't have access to this."
Little Thomas's expression changed a bit. Nowadays, Mrs. Bilong rarely hears news from various channels. This is blocked by Bilong himself. Unless Mrs. Bilong is really dead, it will be announced.
Mrs. Bilon, this second-rate actress or indescribable experience, has surprisingly political talent. She stands on the standpoint of the majority of civilians and calls for social fairness and justice, which makes these hungry and lovely Argentines strongly support her. , her reputation is the Madonna of Argentina. If she really dies, it will be a huge blow to Bilon.
"I have intelligence sources, and the reporters at Xin'a Newspaper are indeed pretty good."
Saint Jose did not shy away from some of his properties. As for Mrs. Bilon, she passed away two or three months later. This death of Mrs. Bilon did have a profound impact on Argentina's political situation.
He also implicitly pointed out that Xin'a News Agency is his own power.
"If your information is accurate, our Cordoba local faction and the blue faction can follow suit and make some new arrangements."
Tomps is not a fool. He obviously realizes the huge value represented by this news. If Mrs. Bilong really dies, then the throne of power that represents Bilong will collapse by at least one third. Who will use this free power? Robbery is a big problem.
"Well, this news cannot be false. I have several channels to verify it."
Of course, it is impossible for San Jose to tell his source of information. In fact, this is not known through the Falcon Bureau or the newspaper. This is just a piece of information that everyone who knows the modern history of Argentina knows, nothing else, because the Bilon couple spent the entire 1940s and later They all play a huge role, whether they are good or bad.
"If it is true as you said, our faction has gained the upper hand in this power struggle, I can make a small promise on behalf of the Science faction and the Blue faction to provide you with some support in the future, and even help you get promoted to major. level, or get you a city councilor."
No matter where the news comes from, he does have some appreciation for the current Saint Hesse. To truly appreciate it, his political sense is sharp enough.
If Saint Jose really made some specific suggestions, he would feel that Saint Jose was a bit arrogant and not worth continuing to cultivate.
The rank of major is already very impressive, and it would have been impossible for Tomps to change from captain to major if there wasn't someone behind him. The same is true for the congressmen. With the energy of little Tomps, he would definitely not be a congressman from some small towns. At least there's a nice city councilman.
"This news is nothing. I have a small suggestion, which is to suppress and break up the labor federation. I think we can start from the public opinion, especially the trade unions. Just use those small newspapers to publish articles."
In fact, the Federation of Labor was indeed stripped of its military power later on, and it was indeed deceived into cutting off one of Bilon's thighs. Argentina's military power was reduced to the army and police force.
The military directly rebelled, and the police force became cowardly. Moreover, the police force cannot have tanks and warships, but the navy has warships, the army has tanks, and the air force has aircraft.
The paper strength of the National Police Force is now inferior to that of the Labor Federation, and the Labor Federation is an out-and-out confidant of Bilong. Compared with the useless police force, the Labor Federation is not a formal military organization, but just a military organization. An armed force, their leaders and leaders are Bilong's confidants.
"Okay, I will consider your opinion."
Saint-Jesse is still quite good at propaganda. As for the expansion of the power of the Ministry of National Defense, it still depends on the opinions of several generals. In fact, for the navy, army and air force, the most important thing is to solve the labor federation. As long as it is not established In the new police department, everything is actually easy to say.
In fact, propaganda is the military's shortcoming. It is too difficult for them to strengthen propaganda in this area. They prefer to use force to conquer others when others don't listen to them.
Of course, Thomas Jr. understood Saint Hesse's little idea, which was to combine the two aspects, but he couldn't make this decision. He even felt that Saint Hesse was a little whimsical and that the strengths of the two sides were not equal.
"Don't think about it for the time being. After all, the military is not all like me. You can have more contact with the Radical Party."
Little Toms warned San Jose that the Argentine military was a monster and not something to be trifled with. Once you get stuck, you can't get rid of it.
The two chatted about other things, and Saint Jose changed the topic.
"By the way, General, can those tractors and motorcycle production equipment at the Argentine aircraft factory be sold?"
"Huh? What about the equipment from the tractor factory and the motorcycle factory? There is no market in Argentina. If you want it, I can talk to someone directly. Even the aircraft factory is in trouble now, and these other factories are about to die."
"It's good intentions that lead to bad things again, General Tomps. I suggest that the aircraft manufacturing plant be reformed in its management. Otherwise, I think it will be difficult to survive for a few more years."
The Argentine Aircraft Manufacturing Factory was established on the basis of a foreign company purchased through the nationalization of Bilon. Its competitiveness is very poor, and the military does not make much purchases. It relies entirely on funding from the Ministry of Finance. This is not good for
"Do you have any good suggestions? To be honest, this aircraft factory has been losing money for many years and is not as good as your Rennes Military Industry."
"I don't have many suggestions. I just think that we need to get the aircraft materials, otherwise it will be very difficult."
Argentina still has an aircraft industry, but it seems that its failure in the 1950s was because the metal industry was so poor.
"This is indeed a problem. A strong joint aircraft manufacturing plant requires a great country. There are too few Argentines."
Sanjesé has always suspected that Argentina's failure to develop after the war was because there were too few Argentines. After all, the greater the population, the greater the competition, and the greater the chance of a genius.
You must know that Argentina today is not as numerous as the Qin Dynasty, the first unified empire in New China. The Qin Dynasty had at least more than 20 million people.
"I share this concern. Even though Argentina has had an increase of three to four million people over the years since the war, the fertility rate of the urban population has dropped by more than half."
Saint Jose is not the only one who feels this way. In fact, many high-level officials in Argentina have also realized that in order to gain power as the second president, Bilon once again brought a group of his proletarian supporters to the city, and the city simply cannot provide enough jobs. .
"It would be great if Argentines could return to the countryside again. This guy Bilon boasted about land reform when he came to power, but now he doesn't even bother to talk about it."
"Yes, this man will do anything for his own power. Our new population growth rate in Argentina last year was not even half of Brazil's."
Argentina's population growth rate has been lower year by year since Bilon came to power, except for immigrants.
"This is also a headache. If we want Argentina to become stronger again, we still need people."
"Yes, Cohen, you know why the Argentine army is looking for gauchos. It's not because Argentina can't even recruit conscripts."
"Haha, I see. This has solved a very big doubt I had at the beginning. I was just a little curious as to who made the policy of recruiting Gauchos."
"I made the plan. The Huike Province had too few troops. The City Guards of Huike could become the second largest local army in Argentina, and I had to put in a lot of effort."
Speaking of this, Little Tomps is also a little proud. Who said that Gauchos have no talents? Bilong is said to be a nouveau riche. As for Gauchos, Cohen is much smarter than most white people.
"I see, with fewer people, nothing can be done well, and the army will have big problems."
Starting from the year before last, that is, in 1950, Argentina began to fall behind countries such as Italy and Japan step by step.
Faced with many difficulties, the presidential office used a unique trick, which was to start the money printing machine-print money!
Because, without excessive currency issuance and inflation, the presidential office cannot continue to draw its own dreams and pie.
The only good thing is that Argentina’s average customs tariff dropped from 84% to 30% this year.
This is a rare bright spot for Argentina. This will at least allow some of Argentina's export companies to recover, participate in international competition, and contribute to foreign exchange transactions.
In the past five years, Argentina, which had the most open economy at the end of the 19th century, has seen its exports drop sharply to 2% of its gross national income, making it a weak point in the national economy.
Argentina is suffering its most serious agricultural export crisis this year.
After World War II, Europe accelerated the development of agricultural modernization and provided large subsidies to agricultural producers. The United States and Japan also strengthened agricultural subsidies and exports.
Europe has strengthened its ties with the United States and separated from traditional markets such as Argentina. The prices of international agricultural products have continued to fall, Argentina's income has declined, and its debt has risen.
This year, the United States and Europe and other countries have implemented strict import restrictive policies, which has seriously affected Argentina. Argentina negotiated within the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and proposed that European and American countries lower their tariff barriers, but no results were achieved.
I have to say that Argentina is really having a hard time this year. San Jose has witnessed this with his own eyes. Even many street lights in Putrajaya have begun not to light up at night. Many ordinary residents have begun to use kerosene instead of using electricity at night. Lamps and candles.
Argentina is suffering its most serious economic difficulties since World War II.
