The weather on the North American continent is much worse than that on the South American continent. Autumn also begins in October. Before the long winter comes, Boston will use a short autumn to express it.
Completely different from Argentina, autumn here is full of golden leaves. Even Saint Jose couldn’t help but go and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Saint Jose likes autumn. It’s not as hot as summer and not as cold as winter, and the cool breeze is more comfortable. .
A good place to enjoy the autumn must be the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University. San Joseo’s good friend at Harvard has forgotten some unpleasantness. He is very popular at Harvard Law School and has published several academic articles in the name of Tom Cruise. paper.
The short autumn passed quickly, and autumn in Boston ushered in.
Saint Jose witnessed the arrival of a heavy snowfall. The snow fell heavier and heavier, and the roof of the old house suddenly turned into a fairy tale world.
Boston has a continental climate, which is incomparable to the winter in Putrajaya. It is even colder and biting.
St. Hesse was very interested in building a snowman at first, but he almost froze his fingers off. He quickly turned on the stove in the manor, which made things better. The temperature at night dropped to at least minus 10 degrees Celsius, which was very damning. weather.
Soon the arrival of a huge snowstorm made him fully feel the power of nature. It was probably almost the same as the snowstorm in Patagonia two years ago.
St. Jose's friends at Harvard said that this year's blizzard was particularly unusual. It happened earlier than in previous years. It is unusual for Boston to snow in October, even though it is already the end of October.
During the day, the temperature basically remained at minus 2-5 degrees Celsius. The car could not be driven because there was no time to shovel the snow and he could only walk to school. Fortunately, enthusiastic neighbors soon cleared the snow from the road, so he would not end up on the road. Walking on the snow to class.
When it snowed, Saint Jose couldn't help but think of the country and the information they had received, that the economic development was not very optimistic.
Argentina's politics have remained basically stable in the second half of this year, but now no one dares to attack Bilon at its peak. Even the Radical Party and the military have kept a low profile. Only the Republican Party has made some leaps.
In other words, it's not that Bilong is at his peak. It can be called the feeling of Bilong being a trapped beast still fighting. Everyone is afraid of being slapped to death by Bilong's claws. He has this strength. His counterattack before death is huge, not to mention that Bilong has not yet Disbanding the armed forces of the labor federation and starting a military civil war in the country would probably be unbearable by anyone.
Now whoever takes action first will die first. No one wants to be the first to be taken advantage of and benefit others. As far as Mrs. Bilong's funeral is concerned, the people are still on Bilong's side.
October in Argentina is already the season of spring flowers. Argentina’s economic performance this year is not very ideal. Fortunately, due to the reduction of export tariffs, some domestic companies have recovered a lot of vitality. However, agricultural development is still showing no improvement. Compared with last year, it has still increased. Some.
Due to the sluggish domestic economy, the company's factory goals set by St. Jose at the beginning of the year have not been achieved. He was too optimistic.
It's almost the end of the year, and Rennes Military Industry is estimated to be unable to achieve the goals set at the beginning of the year. Currently, sales are less than 20 million U.S. dollars, which is not even a bit worse than the optimistic 70 million U.S. dollars in St. Hesse.
The market scale of small arms has been expanded to its limit, and the domestic potential has been tapped.
It is also necessary to open up new categories. The improvement work of the STG45 has been completed and 1,000 units have been mass-produced. However, the sales bidding situation is not good. It has encountered resistance from the Rosario Domingo Arms Factory. Their STG-44 It has also been developed in advance, but the Ministry of National Defense is hesitant because the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh.
In terms of domestic exports, Prali food exports to Europe have been blocked by companies such as Nestlé and Coca-Cola. Prali's products are not well-known enough, and they do not have their own factories in Western Europe. Maybe they need to build local factories. The situation in South America is good. , it can be said to be invincible.
The situation of Lanyun Shoes and Clothing Company is better. This year's investment in the textile industry has greatly increased Lanyun's strength, and the establishment of a new factory in Putrajaya has greatly enhanced Lanyun's development potential.
In Southeast Asia, France failed to reverse Vietnam's offensive. Prali International's fleet could only turn to poor countries such as Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaya and even India to do business. Fortunately, the MP40 was very popular and there was no need to worry about selling it. Moreover, Nanyang is very short of various foods, which makes Prali Food products very popular here, especially instant noodles and Mirinda soda.
In the final analysis, if Argentina's population problem is not solved for one day, the market is only so big, and if a strong domestic company cannot be cultivated, it will have to work hard to open up the international market, and this is actually very likely to require sufficient military background to ensure it.
"I don't know whether farms will work in the future or whether they will be able to increase the population. Industrialization and population growth are naturally at odds with each other. It's really hard to deal with. The current population growth rate in the United States is not very good, so we can only rely on immigrants from other countries."
"This time when we return to China, we must seriously tackle the issue of industrial farms, encourage childbirth, let employees have babies, and contribute to Argentina's population growth."
St. Jose has looked at the U.S. population data for more than two decades. Their native fertility rate has also been slowly declining, mainly relying on foreign immigrants to increase the population.
At present, Argentina's population is only one-eighth that of the United States and one-fourth that of Japan. It is self-evident what this represents.
There is a long way to go. An Argentine family must have six or seven children, so that Argentina can develop and grow healthily. Otherwise, no matter how strong the domestic development is, it will be used as a wedding dress by others, and an economic blockade will collapse.
In two generations, Argentina will have a population of at least 70 million to 80 million, or even more, which is comparable to Germany after reunification. Adding immigrants from other countries, this will be a population of almost 100 million, making it at least a medium-sized country. not a problem.
With a large enough educated population, there will be a fully competitive market. Even if it relies on involution, it will be enough for Argentina to continue to be strong. It seems that some measures have to be taken.
Bilon still fails to see clearly the nature of national development. Only a sufficient population can ensure the steady advancement of industrialization. However, Bilon is still stifling Argentina's population potential and destroying Argentina's rural areas.
We must also work hard to improve the large-scale development plan in northern Argentina. Argentina does not have enough agricultural talents. The United States does. It is more than enough to establish several agricultural population research companies. It is far from enough to rely on domestic talents in Argentina.
…
While San Jose was busy studying at Harvard University, the Falcons and Little Knicks teams mobilized from Argentina had arrived in the United States one after another.
With his own intelligence team and helpers, he finally came out of his blind state. Previously, he underestimated the difficulty of doing things in the United States.
"If you don't have your own intelligence system, it will be troublesome to do anything. It's very unaccustomed."
Things were far less smooth in the United States than in Argentina, and Thain couldn't provide much help.
I brought too few people with me to the United States this time. Many things need to be done by myself, and I also need to keep a low profile. If I am not careful, I will overturn.
The large conglomerates in the northeastern United States are not just vegetarian. It has the largest and most powerful consortia in the United States. It is the political, economic and industrial center, and the stronghold of American capital. Although the conglomerates in the western and southern United States have also developed very powerfully, they are still Far inferior to those here, after all, they don’t have Wall Street.
In the northeastern United States, there are Rockefeller, Morgan, Boston Group, Mellon Group, and Chicago Group, all of which are as rich as the rest of the country. In addition, there is the First Citigroup Group that is about to be established.
Among them, the Boston Consortium is one that St. Jose knows more deeply. This consortium has a great influence in Boston.
The Lowell, Lawrence, Adams, and Lodge families joined forces with the emerging Kennedy family to form the Boston Consortium, which owned MIT, Harvard, and Boston University.
These families originally invested the huge amounts of funds accumulated during overseas colonial plunder in commercial banks, insurance companies and investment companies, and relied on these financial institutions to provide funds to operate light textile industries such as textiles, tanning, shoemaking, clothing, food and chemicals. .
It is much more scientific than the current development in Saint Jose, with finance first and then industry.
Due to the rapid development of the textile industry, by the beginning of the 20th century, several Boston families who had intermarried with each other for generations formed the Boston Consortium with the First National Bank of Boston as the core.
The Boston Consortium is now one of the six most powerful consortiums in the United States. During World War II, it developed the military industry and obtained large quantities of orders, so its ambitions expanded. Kennedy was the representative of their political power.
The Boston Group has now begun to unite with the Rockefeller Group.
The Rockefeller consortium firmly controls the world's most powerful oil company cluster, as well as Chase Manhattan Bank. They are doing what St. Hesse intends to do, investing in emerging industry companies. The Rockefeller consortium and the Mellon consortium have jointly controlled Roxy. DeMartin Corporation and Westinghouse Electric are two major arms dealers.
The most powerful Morgan consortium is now at its peak. In the Truman administration, three secretaries of state were involved with the Morgan consortium.
The Morgan consortium firmly controlled the government in the first half of the 20th century, allowing it to receive various economic protections and receive a steady stream of government orders, thereby making huge profits.
Citibank plans to merge with the First National Bank of New York, and they will challenge the ** Bank. There is also the meaning of the Rockefeller Foundation. The Rockefeller Foundation supports a new president, and the Morgan Foundation is also very optimistic about Eisenhower.
Morgan is now at its most powerful stage, and San Jose has access to the stocks of many of their companies, including General Motors, General Electric, IBM, and U.S. Steel.
It is not easy to make a small amount of money. Blackwater is only used to protect Sequoia Investments and the futures that St. Jose intends to make. It depends on the face of the Chicago consortium. Doing things under their noses is also full of risks.
St. Hesse's futures speculation this time is against the Chicago consortium. They started through agriculture and animal husbandry. Now they can be said to be very strong, but they did not gain much benefit from World War II. They have begun to decline. They have been affected by several Targeted by an Eastern consortium, people on Wall Street have stronger financial capital, and the futures market is not too prosperous now.
And now there are several onion growers causing trouble, so Saint Jose dares to take action. He is also seriously learning from these American consortiums. He has established competitive companies in Maria City by forming committees, financial centers, etc. factory, but it does not have its own bank, and lacks a financial core to call it a consortium.
The Chicago Consortium is now one of the top ten conglomerates in the United States. It was composed of the McCormick family, the Wood family, and the emerging Crown family in the early 20th century. It was named after the Chicago area as the center of its activities. Sears Department Store is theirs.
Now we are acquiring onion contracts. In fact, onions are not a particularly big category. They are far inferior to futures such as meat, cotton, and wheat, so they have received relatively little attention, which gives St. Hesse the opportunity to invest.
Next year will be the first post-war US economic crisis in the United States, which will soon recover, and onion futures are a small reason for the outbreak of the economic crisis. This time the US crisis broke out not too long (about a year), and for St. Serai is indeed crucial, he must make enough money.
The only ones that are really useful are your own people. Fortunately, the current US intelligence agencies are not all-pervasive and have many loopholes.
Moreover, this period happens to be the US election and the change of leadership. The US side is also chaotic and complicated, so the timing is perfect.
Otherwise, even if he had a hundred courages, he would not dare to send his confidants to the United States.
Even so, he did things carefully.
What went to the United States this time was a complete intelligence team headed by Guerrero. It divided into several time periods and entered the important cities of New York, Chicago, and Boston in the northeastern United States. It set up some intelligence liaison stations and joined several newly established ones. A company can't do a very thorough job of protecting his identity now, and he can't recruit that many talents.
Thain helped him register more than 30 shell companies successively, which were used to acquire some precision instruments and employees, and to make some preliminary preparations. The opportunity was left to those who were prepared.
They have different identities, each with their own false identity and code name, and they mainly sneak into the United States as company employees.
They entered the country with passports from three countries: Uruguay, Brazil, and Argentina. They are basically proficient in English, Spanish, German and other languages, and they are all elite.
This is also to ensure as much safety as possible.
He didn't come here to fight or anything, he came here to get money.
October 18, a small manor in Boston,
This suburban estate is small in size, has good security, and has convenient transportation in all aspects.
"Guerrero, this is your intelligence target. Help me collect some intelligence for the time being to prepare for the next step."
St. Hesse's targets were the Chicago Consortium, the Rockefeller Consortium, and the Boston Consortium. The focus was still on the Chicago Consortium that was currently being targeted, and he also gave him a list of companies.
Many of these company lists cannot be seen from the outside as to who they belong to. Saint Jose does not want to offend a large consortium one day without knowing it.
Judging from the information on the surface, most well-known large companies require various large consortiums for their basic technologies, except for emerging industries.
"Yes, boss."
Guerrero carefully memorized the information in his mind and then burned it in the fireplace.
"Be careful of intelligence agencies such as the FBI and CIA, and try to keep a low profile. Our purpose is very clear, it is for money, and ignore everything else. Try to be careful and keep a low profile, and do not spy on intelligence other than economics."
In the United States, it mainly has to deal with domestic intelligence agencies such as the FBI. This is also a new challenge faced by the Falcon Bureau. The Falcon Bureau has always been mainly domestic-oriented. The intelligence agencies of the United States are not comparable to the National Intelligence Service of Argentina, and there are The away game was at a disadvantage, and it was unable to mobilize help from sister units in Delta and Thunder Cross.
"Okay, I'll try my best."
Allowing the Falcon Service to enter the United States this time was not a temporary idea of Saint Hesse, but had three considerations.
1. When I came to the United States this time, I happened to set up some regular intelligence agencies to obtain long-term and stable intelligence on the United States to deal with the challenges of the CIA.
2. This is also an exercise for the Falcons. The level of the Falcons is still too low and must be improved.
3. Help him make money in the United States, especially find out the relationship between the Chicago consortium and the big onion growers, otherwise it will be troublesome if he is pushed back.
The Falcon Bureau has always had an International Intelligence Department since its establishment last year. For more than a year, except for Brazil and Uruguay, it has achieved almost no results. If it can be stationed in the United States this time, it will be a great development for the International Intelligence Department.
Best, the head of the International Department, is of limited skill and is now mainly responsible for Uruguay's intelligence. The International Intelligence Department has been developing very backward.
He also needs someone to help him smooth out the complicated conglomerate relationships in the United States, which is also his learning goal.
