On July 8th, I spent a honeymoon in Puerto Blanca. In fact, I just drove around the city for a few days occasionally.
The environment in southern Argentina is actually worse than in the north. Affected by the Malvinas cold current, the Eva Bilon Province (formerly La Pampa Province) near the Port of Blanca is one of the least populated provinces in the country. Compared with the entire Buenos Aires, Lanka Port is similar, with only 170,000 people, which is equivalent to a little more than 1 person per square kilometer.
Further south, the administrative region of Rio Negro (not yet a province) has a slightly larger population, with about 250,000 people. It is the southernmost wine-producing region in Argentina.
The sweetness and acidity of the grapes produced are relatively balanced, reminiscent of European grapes. There are valleys suitable for growing high-quality grapes. The capital city of Viedma,
The name Viedma is quite familiar to San Jose, because this small southern town almost became the capital of Argentina in later generations. Although it is a bit funny that such a small city became the capital,
Because according to last year's statistics, Viedma City only has more than 10,000 people, which is not as good as the small town established by San Jose on the plateau. You must know that the small town of Morado now has 10,000 people, mainly based on Thunder Mining. It mainly supplies raw materials to Maya Chemical and many other partners. It has invested millions of dollars in production equipment and is expected to be profitable in the second half of the year.
The town of Morado is located in the valley of the plateau. The altitude is actually only more than 1,200 meters, which is more than 500 meters higher than the nearby town of Rinconada. The climate is actually not bad. Otherwise, the largest gangster group in the eastern part of the Potassium Triangle would not have gathered here. here,
It has directly become one of the large towns and business centers in the Potassium Triangle Plateau, and its import and export trade volume with Bolivia and Chile has also successfully exceeded 2 million US dollars.
The administrative region of Rio Negro is a vote base of the Radical Party. Most of the chief executives are from the Radical Party. The military's influence in the southern provinces is also relatively weak.
Further south, the Chubut Administrative Region, the Commodore Rivadavia Administrative Region, and the Patagonia Province are sparsely populated and bitterly cold places in Argentina.
In fact, the environment of Eva Bilon Province and the administrative region of Rio Negro is not too bad. According to Saint Jose's estimation, they can also accommodate a population of 20 to 30 million people.
It is also very suitable for development. It is also close to the coal mines of Australia and South Africa, and is suitable for the development of shipping. However, Aiva Bilon Province has no outlet to the sea, so the development potential of Blanca Port is huge.
There is a bright future for building a factory here, and the land around Port Blanca is flat.
Build a few large thermal power plants, build a textile factory, establish a textile industry that is close to raw materials, then build a chemical plant, develop oil deep processing, etc. It is not a problem to establish a southern industrial base.
Originally, Lanyun Garment Textile mainly engaged in cotton and wool textiles, but the chemical fiber industry was the one that really produced results.
Argentina is not short of oil resources. It would be a pity to just export fuel or burn it. Maya Chemical is engaged in synthetic ammonia and the production of some plastics. Only by developing a complete oil industry can it resist Mobil Oil and California Standard Oil in the United States.
Moreover, Patagonia is actually very rich in oil resources, and shale oil, which is more difficult to extract, can also be exploited.
For example, most of the current shoes, pants and clothes are imported from Brazilian natural rubber, and the pants and clothes are produced from imported fabrics from other textile factories. There is not much industry.
Printing and dyeing industry, textile industry, large-scale chemical industry and agriculture.
Lanyun Textile Factory only produces cotton and wool, and the fabrics produced are of average quality. Fortunately, there are some machines brought over by the British, which can already be used for industrial upgrading.
By then, several chemical plants, textile factories, garment factories, power plants, steel plants, and machinery factories will be set up in Port Blanca, and a simple heavy industry system will be initially established.
If the chemical plant is well done, pharmaceuticals can be developed in the future, and chemical deep processing cannot continue to develop.
Saint Jose spread out the map of Port Blanca, and he couldn't wait.
Only by building an industrial city in the south, with basic industries such as real heavy and chemical industries, can we embrace the future.
The heavy chemical industry is a basic raw material industry with high capital and knowledge content. It requires huge investment and is not easy to develop.
St. Hesse's factory is currently involved in the main industries of electric power, petrochemicals, smelting, machinery, and shipbuilding. Fortunately, the investment is not too large and is barely acceptable. As long as the steel plant is put into operation, he can basically take a breather. The tone is gone.
The heavy and chemical industry is the "backbone" of a regional economy and a strong material foundation for the modernization of the national economy.
As for polluting the environment, there is nothing we can do about it.
If we can make a fortune from the economic crisis in the United States and then buy a few bankrupt automobile companies and transport them to Argentina, we will have the foundation to develop the machinery industry.
When a few more universities are built, Port Blanca will truly rise.
Saint-Jesse began to prepare some collected urban development information, and planned to bring its own factories here in the name of attracting investment, provided that infrastructure construction was completed first.
For example, the roads in Port Blanca are dilapidated and need to be repaired. Road construction requires materials such as cement and steel bars, as well as electrical facilities and factory buildings, which all need major repairs and construction.
The upfront tax revenue is certainly not enough, so loans are needed. Barron's Bank has the money to provide loans and floating interest rates, so it can do so.
It's best to have a five-year plan or something like that.
All can be done simultaneously. It is not good if there is too much domestic population migration. It is best to find international workers. There are also people in places like Brazil.
Moreover, it is necessary to expand the scale of Port Blanca to include several surrounding towns, which involves issues of political reform.
And we need to unite surrounding cities to develop together.
It is also possible to establish a port industrial zone, process supplied materials, and provide supplementary services.
We need to support other small factories, get people to invest, and tie them to the chariot.
The premise of all this is to run for council this year and mayor next year. Otherwise, you have to wait for the next term, or unseat the current mayor. That would be too arrogant.
Currently, there are four major families in Port Blanca, which basically control the current industry and commerce in Port Blanca.
They are the Bariloche family, which is also an industrial family. They mainly control Blanca's flour processing industry, owning three processing plants, as well as 100,000 acres of farms, growing wheat and raising 40,000 cattle.
The Hector Gay family owns two local beef processing plants, and also owns 50,000 acres of pasture in the Pampas, with 200,000 cattle and sheep.
The Martinez family, the traditional Caudillo family, is currently the richest family in Puerto Blanca. It owns 3 beef processing plants, 20 wheat storage warehouses, an international trading company, and the largest trading company in southern Argentina. Martinez The trading company almost controls the largest share of wheat imports and exports in the South, second only to the Argentine Official Import and Export Association, Prairie International and Andenes Trading.
The Gray family, considered the Caudillo political family, has begun to transform, but it also owns many industries, such as a wood processing plant in the city, about 30,000 acres of farm and pasture, a small ship repair shop, and a pier.
The political power of Port Blanca is not too complicated, after all, there are few people, but after all, it is one of the cities with a high status, far better than Maria City.
Maria City is currently developing beyond the norm, and its political status does not match its economic and economic strength. Cross is still working hard to gain status.
For example, proposals such as completely merging the County of General San Martín with the City of María, then changing the name, expanding the city limits, and establishing a second city after Cordoba. The current population, including satellite towns, is likely to exceed 180,000. .
They are mainly from the Radical Party. The city council occupies about 80% of the seats. These families are basically from the Radical Party.
There is only one outsider, a member of the House of Representatives named Adler Krulaine, who is a force interspersed here by the Justice Party. He can be regarded as a member of the province of Buenos Aires, but he basically has no status and cannot shake the rule of the four major families.
Generally speaking, these families can be regarded as big families in Argentina. They are quite powerful. Foreigners can easily be ignored or assimilated.
.....
This honeymoon was quite tight, which made him feel a little guilty towards his wife.
In order to catch up with the 53rd Independence Day military parade, the Radical Party also participated, and then it was time to hand over the position of the Puerto Blanca branch.
Running for council in Puerto Blanca.
On July 9, Argentina’s three armed forces and various other armies held an Independence Day military parade.
The armies of Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, and Venezuela also sent a phalanx of 50 people to participate in today's military parade. Military attaches from the embassies of various countries in Afghanistan were invited to participate in today's celebration.
It can be said that the current prestige of Argentina in South America is very high. Since the mediation of the Chaco War, it has been at its peak period. Brazil can barely compete. Now Americans sometimes do not speak as well as Argentines.
July 9th is a special day for Argentines and the anniversary of their independence, as the Argentine military prepares to show their might to the world as President Juan Pilon leads him to the highest flag in the world.
St. Jose was also invited by the Radical Party to participate in the military parade.
This time Bilon also invited the President of Chile and the President of Uruguay to participate. There were about hundreds of thousands of Argentines in the audience, which was a huge crowd.
Bilon himself also put on a military uniform. Because it was relatively cold, he was also given a coat. Several generals around him were wearing military coats. Saint Hesse also saw General Thomas, but he was not on the rostrum. , but a shorter place next to it.
San Jose watched from the ordinary observation deck, and even saw Guevara watching not far away. He frowned and didn't know what he was thinking. He would soon leave Argentina and go to Mexico.
This military parade was indeed quite well done. The navy, army and air force all participated, as well as student soldiers from the military academy, the cavalry division, and the motorized division. It can be considered the best military parade in Latin America.
"This is already the pinnacle of the Argentine military parade."
After Bilong stepped down in two years, it would be impossible to hold a decent military parade like this.
He also played well in goose-stepping, but he couldn't compare with the world's No. 1 Army. The most important thing was that he didn't look murderous.
Saint Jose had seen the military parades of later generations after the Vietnam War, and he believed that murderous intent really existed.
Without the experience of blood and fire, coupled with the fact that these officers were involved in politics and the army was engaged in business, the combat effectiveness of the Argentine army was greatly damaged.
For example, the Buenos Aires Police Department, the Labor Federation affiliated with the Argentine Confederation of Trade Unions, and even some militia units also participated in the parade.
A naval formation is cruising in the Rio de la Plata. Some old-fashioned battleships don't seem to be intimidating. They are thin-skinned and large-sized versions.
There are old-fashioned tanks that look like living coffins, and there are also some more advanced tanks that drive through the Plaza de Mayo with blue and white flags flying.
However, this is already the only two powerful army in South America. The primary target of the Argentine army is the Brazilians.
With the support of the Americans, the Brazilian army is still very well equipped.
It can be said that the current Argentine army is also relatively powerful in the world, but the economic crisis has cast a shadow on this military parade.
There are also various equipment such as infantry fighting vehicles and military jeeps.
The performance of the aircraft air force formation is considered to be the best. There are domestically produced aircraft and imported aircraft, and the quality of the air force pilots is very good.
"Very energetic, very good."
"It was so big, it felt like the entire Argentine army was here."
Sanjesé said sarcastically that almost one-tenth of the Argentine army came to this grand parade, which cost a lot of money.
It's just that the military and Bilong have maintained a superficial peace.
It is also hard to believe that the now powerful Bilong would be knocked out of power by several local armies, and then the long era of military government began.
The crisis in the prosperous times must be stopped.
...
But there is also some bad news. For example, the Argentine military aircraft manufacturer canceled military orders due to insufficient funding and problems with the aircraft.
The current Argentine military aircraft factory is not weak, and is even famous in the world, ranking behind the Canadian aviation industry.
Argentina's industry and manufacturing industry, which was built on a solid economic foundation, was still very strong in the 1940s and 1950s. A striking example is Argentina's aviation industry.
Shortly after the end of World War II, Argentina began to develop an independent aviation industry relying on the Argentine Military Aircraft Factory (FMA) established in the 1920s. With the help of German engineers, FMA developed the first jet fighter in 1946. IAe.27 "Arrow" I.
The successful development of the IAe.27 fighter jet marked Argentina as the sixth country in the world to independently develop jet fighters. After the IAe.27, FMA also developed the IAe.33 "Arrow" II fighter jet and the IA-58 "Plaka" "Attack aircraft, IA-63 advanced trainer aircraft and other models.
But now there is news from the Cordoba Falcon Bureau that Bilon plans to cancel the military aircraft factory project.
"We can't let these Germans go, but the money required to invest in the aircraft manufacturing industry is too much. It may be greater than the investment in the atomic bomb."
St. Hesse was a little worried. If these German design teams were gone, it would be difficult to reassemble them. However, the investment in the aircraft manufacturing industry was huge, and this German was probably one of the few who helped India develop the aircraft manufacturing industry. However, it is limited to partial confidentiality, and we don’t know who they are.
"We must take action to save Argentina's aviation industry. Do we need to send people from Rennes Military Industry to the Port of Blanca to intervene and save this industry?"
If the aircraft manufacturing industry collapses, it will not be easy to rebuild it in the future.
This matter still depends on what General Thomas wants.
If you can convince him, half the battle is won.
