St. Hesse and General Thomas Jr. continued to talk about the military. In recent months, Bilong has tried to firmly control the military by promoting and suppressing old buddies in the military, but his ruling base has begun to disintegrate. .
"This is a normal thing. There is no war at all in Argentina. In other words, no matter whether any officer is in charge, he cannot accumulate prestige, let alone this is a peaceful era."
After Little Tomps said that, he took a cigar from the table. St. Jose picked up a cedar wood chip, lit it with a match, and handed it to Little Tomps. After lighting it, the two continued to chat and talked about radicalism. Party matters.
"Oh? You had considered joining the Radical Party at first. Now many branches of the Radical Party have been destroyed by Bilong. They have been disbanded, abolished, and the government offices have been controlled by him. The funny thing is, this has slowed down a few It’s only been a month, but now those workers and his supporters are causing trouble again.”
Saint Jose touched his pocket, took out a pack of cigarettes, took out one, lit one, and squinted his eyes. He had also been paying attention to the situation within the Radical Party recently.
The situation of the subordinates in the Propaganda Department was not very good at the time. After all, the Radical Party was not as good as before. Many people quit, but there were still many people left. After all, Putrajaya was the base camp, but the organizations in various places were severely damaged.
"Yes, it was quite serious at the time. Anyway, basically all the big government offices were replaced by the Justice Party. It was better in smaller cities."
At the beginning of the year, Bilon controlled all the provincial offices in Argentina and his power reached its peak.
In April, due to internal opposition, Bilong wanted to divert everyone's attention and carried out a surprise attack. He sealed the offices of the Radical Party and the Socialist Party, leading to a profound crisis for these two important opposition parties until Now I am slowly starting to regain my strength.
In fact, the effect was very good at first, but then it stopped working. After all, it's okay to play the same trick once, but if you play it twice, you will make people look like fools.
"This year the Radical Party also organized several meetings and re-established the organization, but the signs of internal divisions are becoming more and more obvious, but it is much better than the Socialist Party. Many people in the Socialist Party were arrested."
Saint Jose moved his body, sat in a more comfortable position, and said something.
"Haha, at that time he sent people to seal down the Jockey Club, which made many people angry to death."
Little Tompus simply lay half on the sofa. In fact, he didn't feel very comfortable in the Ministry of Defense. After all, the people in the Ministry of Defense were all similar to him. Bilong didn't trust him very much. Cordoba was causing trouble. , without knowing much about him, elected a group of new leaders.
"Commander, do you have any contact with other armies, such as the Capital Garrison or the National Police Agency?"
"There are relatively few. Bilong is like a mad dog now. He will attack people when he sees them. It's not easy for me to deal with them."
"Well, I have clear news here that Cordoba is planning to engage in armed forces. More seriously, it is planning to overthrow Bilon with arms."
Saint Hesse does not shy away from the fact that it has an intelligence system. For Little Tomps, if he can contribute to the trouble in Cordoba, show some tough methods and attitudes, and spread public opinion, it will also Not to mention the president, at least being the head of the military is not a problem, and it has its own foundation. Moreover, as far as he knows, after the rebellion in Cordoba succeeds, there will be few capable military leaders. It would be easy for Si to take over again.
"The specific situation is not very clear, but the Navy will indeed come forward. At least they are preparing for this."
St. Jose continued.
"Is that so? Since Cordoba's army is not strong, it will be difficult to succeed."
To be honest, Little Tompus had heard about this matter, but with the level of Cordoba's military, it was unlikely that it would be successful. He felt that those people were a little fanciful. What kind of environment is it now, is it possible to rebel?
"I think the possibility of success is very high. Commander, don't be deceived by the superficial situation. Besides, it's not easy to stand out. Getting the ticket is the most important thing."
To be honest, for a rebellion, the right time, right place, and the right people are indispensable. The situation in Argentina is not complicated at all, and there are only a few capable local armies. Moreover, Argentina really cannot fight a civil war.
The main reason is that Cordoba succeeded in later generations. Those near the capital basically did not have much strength or were Bilon people. The same was true for the Rosario Army. It was controlled by the Ministry of Defense, but Cordoba was different. , other cities are too small to be on the stage, Cordoba also has an air force, and the pilots in the air force are all rich and handsome.
"This is indeed not something that can be successful only if you are strong. You just need to have this name. Although you don't have much strength, you can't stand it and no one can do it. Moreover, the military can't do it for long. It doesn't mean that the military can't sit in that position. It's been done before. ."
Bilong cannot be considered a military dictatorship, but the one before Bilong was indeed a military government. When the civilian government was unable to fight against the workers' movement, the military had to do something.
He remembered that the people in Cordoba were replaced just a few days after they came to power, and then they were elected normally again. Until they were overthrown next time, it was the real military government. But the people from the Ministry of National Defense,
To sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, even if you are a minister with real power, you can be the minister of the Army. At least you have the power. Tomps Jr. is not unable to do it. The army in Argentina does not need to be very capable and does not need to fight with anyone. As long as you have the hands, you can do it for St. Jose. If you are a real person, you can do it.
"Is that so? Then let me do some preparations."
Little Thomas was a little moved by what St. Hesse said, and he also became a little serious. At first, he felt that he could not get ahead and might even be removed at any time, so he became a bit salty. If he can go further, maybe he can still Becoming a general or something is not in vain after spending so many years in the army.
"Then let's do it, maybe we can get something done."
Little Tomps also made up his mind that since he had the opportunity, he would definitely seize it.
"Okay, if the commander takes action, I will do my best to help. At least I have people across the country who can provide stable information. I will have people send it to the commander regularly."
"That's good. I really didn't misjudge you at first."
Little Thomas was so excited that he stood up and gave St. Jose a big bear hug.
The two continued to discuss some details, including help to the St. Martin Aircraft Factory and the framework of cooperation. Next, St. Jose will provide some important cooperation lists and provide Commander Tomps with a large amount of activity funds through several leather bags companies. There is also private security protection, for fear of being targeted.
The last important thing is the military academy. The details also include the screening of the National Defense Military Academy and the Saint-Martin Military School. There are many good talents in there and they need to be cultivated. At this time, the New Youth League that was originally established can provide a lot of information and help.
Saint Jose once planned to make a difference in the military, but unfortunately his foundation was not stable, but he would not give up any opportunity to expand his strength. This time he returned to Port Blanca and planned to meet the people from the Admiralty there. After all, As a naval base, Port Blanca also has military personnel present.
"General, when necessary, the City of Maria will contain the Cordoba Army. The Police Department and City Guards of Maria City will continue to expand. The current Mayor of Maria City is our The people of the organization.”
San Jose revealed some little secrets at the end. Even if you check this and know about Cross’s experience, no one thinks that the city of María can challenge Cordoba.
This is just a very small town. If there is any accident, Maria City can also make a difference. Some of the American tanks that were dismantled in San Jose will be reinstalled and still usable. There are also some new weapons, rocket launchers, and guns and ammunition. It is possible to form an army for some daily training. The tank factory in Saint Jose has not yet produced the tanks, but it can still be used for maintenance. Saint Jose There is really no shortage of weapons and ammunition.
Rennes Military Industry does not follow the superficial production plan. In addition to international export reasons, Saint-Jesse also secretly stores a lot of weapons and equipment, which may be used in the future.
Whether viewed from a map or from other perspectives, the city of María has developed to this day and, if necessary, can become the biggest obstacle to Cordoba's army's eastward and southward advance. There is a direct railway blockade here, and they can directly advance eastward. Go to Rosario,
Luocheng is the most important blockade city at the mouth of the Rio de la Plata. It can directly intercept the Cordoba army. This is his idea. The combat effectiveness of the security team and militia team cannot give much hope. Of course, the Cordoba Army Don't have too much hope. I've seen Saint Jose when he was in the city guard, and he's quite cool.
If one day we really get to that point, it will probably be time to really fight a civil war. Argentina's vast land is indeed very suitable for large-scale tank-based assault battles.
"So that's it, Cohen, you have a very long-term view. Maria City is a good city and it can indeed act as a deterrent to Cordoba."
"I also chose randomly, and I invested a lot here."
The city of Maria is indeed very important. The St. Martin Aircraft Factory has completely moved there. Tank leads the new St. Martin Aircraft Design Bureau and continues to design improvements to the "Arrow-II" fighter. As long as Tomps can go further, By then he will be able to get orders from the Argentine Air Force, and he will be able to make a profit.
Internationally, the Netherlands and Egypt have also shown strong interest in this fighter. Now the follow-up funding for the "Arrow-II" fighter has not been interrupted as in the original history, and Saint-Jesse has promised to provide sufficient funds to continue. Perfecting and improving this aircraft has solved the problem of broken capital chain.
San Jose does not expect the Air Force to complete its original purchase plan of 100 aircraft. As long as it ensures that Argentina’s aviation design talents are not drained, it can wait until the day this fighter is completed.
As long as the "Arrow-II" aircraft project can survive, the San Martin Aircraft Factory can continue to survive, and Argentina's aviation industry can definitely survive. This is the only high-tech industry in Argentina. Most of the previous flight experiments were due to There are material issues and the manufacturing process is not up to par. It’s time to upgrade various equipment.
Moreover, the material problem of the aircraft project must be solved as soon as possible. Once there is no shortage of funds, we can slowly work on it, as long as we support the design bureau first.
"By the way, if Europe can't get the materials and the steel mills can't get them, then we can get some from the United States. The materials science in the United States is quite advanced, so we can just set up a materials laboratory. As for processing, we can just go to Germany. The strength of German machine tools is one of the best in the world, let’s get more advanced machine tools.”
Saint Jose continued to think about the aircraft factory and realized that he was too focused on independent research and development and did not know how to draw on the wisdom of international talents.
"When it comes to materials, I can just use Enke Electric. The local automotive materials and steel plants in Chicago are very developed. It is completely feasible to set up a materials laboratory. We can acquire organizational talents, and then transfer them to the country. But we must be careful. , we can’t let the CIA target us.”
"It seems perfectly fine."
St. Jesus continued to think about the pros and cons of aircraft design, and almost laughed out loud. Maybe it was the darkness under the light. Thomas looked at St. Jesus and giggled. Some of them didn't know why, and they just thought that St. Jesus was too happy.
As long as the final strength of the Arrow III can be compared with the British "Meteor" fighter jet, even if it is a little bit worse, then the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Finance are likely to purchase domestic fighter jets next year. The Ministry of National Defense plans to replace the aircraft next year as well. This is the last time. It's time.
"Maybe it's time to get in touch with Canada. Canada's aviation talent pool is amazing. It's now among the top in the world. But the Americans are having an increasing influence on Canada. The Canadian aviation industry will be hit hard. That's when the time comes. It’s time to rob people.”
St. Jose continued to think in his mind that the Americans had strangled the Canadian aviation industry, so they could just grab people when the time came. The Canadian aviation industry was still half-dead because of the Americans. This was St. Jose's opportunity.
…
When he came out of General Tomps Jr.'s house, St. Jose immediately put out his cigarette butt.
He planned to visit the headquarters of the Radical Party again. Among the current external cooperation options, General Thomas Jr. and the Radical Party were the forces he valued most. One represented the military and the other represented the largest opposition party.
Others, such as Professor Pukins and the Import and Export Trade Association, cannot rapidly expand their strength in a short period of time, and they cannot rely on much. The Import and Export Trade Association can only be said to be a loose interest group.
General Tomps Jr. actually has full potential. There are not many generals in the military who are particularly capable. Little Tomps is already relatively good. He just lacks an opportunity and a platform. Saint Jose saw it. Huge benefits and opportunities.
After looking at the somewhat defeated Radical Party headquarters building, I felt that things were different and people were different. I walked in directly without even the security guard reacting. The security guard had gray hair now and was probably presbyopic.
I still remember that when I first came to the Radical Party for an interview, the decoration there was very high-end, and there were many security guards. They were tall and powerful, and they were only in their twenties. This is very different now.
Entering the building, I felt a deserted feeling. As I walked, I looked around. Many offices in the building were empty. Occasionally, someone passed by and asked what San Jose did. After asking and answering, I took him back. Go to the top.
Saint Jose met the haggard-looking Arturo, the top leader of the Radical Party. His hair looked grayer and his energy was not as good as before.
"Mr. Arturo, I'm here to report on some issues at the Port of Blanca."
