Recent news received by San Jose shows that the chaos in central and northern Argentina has increased again.

"I thought it would be quieter now that it's winter."

The Presidential Palace plans to convene a joint meeting of all provinces across the country to discuss response decisions.

Each provincial constitution or local provincial law in Argentina is very different.

Many policies and regulations in the Province of Cordoba are completely different from those in the Province of Buenos Aires. For example, the Province of Cordoba still allows cities to establish urban defense forces affiliated with the city, which gives great convenience to the local rebel forces.

The province of Buenos Aires does not allow the establishment of the army in cities. It only allows the number of police officers to be increased when the city's population size allows, and there are relatively strict restrictions.

The maximum police allocation for 100,000 people is 1,000. Every 10,000 people can be increased by 100 police officers, and there are also strict restrictions at the Belgrano military port.

San Jose increases its police strength every time its population increases. Blanca City Police Department already has a police strength of 1,850 people and often conducts actual combat drills.

Buenos Aires can be said to be the province with the strictest municipal control in Argentina.

Blanca's economy still maintains strong growth. With Sanders Supermarket and abundant production, prices here have remained stable and factory profits have also increased.

At present, the area of ​​the main city is not large, only 158 square kilometers when Saint-Jesse merged with some suburbs. Saint-Jesse has begun to adjust the jurisdiction of the five districts in the city center accordingly.

District 1 and District 2 were merged, with a population of 61,000, and was renamed the West District.

The area has expanded to 74 square kilometers. It is the seat of the city hall, the administrative center of Blanca City, the economic center, and the headquarters of Barron's Bank.

Blanca City Hospital was changed to Blanca City First Hospital, located in the west of Blanca City, which is currently the most prosperous urban area.

The West District is the old town, also known as the rich district. The three major families are here. This is also where Blanca City’s former factories are located. It has 5 meat slaughterhouses, 14 refrigerated warehouses, 2 paper mills, and 4 Flour processing factory, also has a large port, and oil pressing factory.

District 3, District 4 and District 5 were merged and renamed the East District. It has a population of 97,000 people and the area under its jurisdiction has been expanded to 104 square kilometers. There used to be a comprehensive medical clinic here, which will be converted into the Second Hospital of Blanca City. It is also the location of Blanca City Railway Station.

It has two universities, two hospitals, and the population is increasing rapidly, mainly from the province, and others from La Pampa and Rio Negro provinces.

There is still some time to establish professional universities. Saint-Jesse plans to build some secondary vocational schools here. This requires reforming the current middle schools, establishing junior middle schools and senior middle schools, and establishing secondary vocational schools that are equal to senior middle schools.

The construction of textile schools, navigation schools, agricultural schools, architecture schools, and medical schools have all been put on the agenda.

This is also the location of the passenger ship port and the fish port. There was no industry originally, but now it has a building materials market, a clothing wholesale market, a food processing factory, and a wool textile factory.

San Jose attaches great importance to the development of the city's fishery. It uses Barron's Bank to make installment payments to support the development of marine fisheries. The State Assets Committee established the Blanca City Fishery and Fishing Corporation, purchased 20 fishing boats at one time, and provided Local fishermen have provided ultra-low-interest loan services, allowing Sanhai Shipyard to increase orders for fishing boats several times.

It has the most favorable fishermen support policy in Argentina. With the support of San Jose, the number of fishermen gathered here has increased tenfold, reaching a scale of two thousand people. It has 71 fishing boats, surpassing the city of Mar del Plata. It became the largest fishing port in Argentina.

Moreover, it also has Argentina’s most advanced fishing boats, which have offshore fishing capabilities. When Sanhai Shipbuilding’s big guy comes into the water, it will have offshore fishing capabilities.

In addition, in order to develop the arms smuggling industry, Saint Jose went crazy by recruiting arms dealers, developing offline distribution, focusing on the African market, and squeezing out the last resource profits.

Through local forces in South Africa, he sold 600,000 MP40 submachine guns and 450,000 mg-52 assault rifles at one time, as well as 600,000 pistols and 200 million rounds of bullets of various types.

Six arms dealers in British South Africa ate this batch of goods and exchanged it for countless gold. These cheap arms were almost half the price of American and Soviet goods, and their power and accuracy were not bad.

International arms dealers are very welcoming of these white-label weapons without manufacturers, which are durable, high-quality, and low-priced. Saint Jose only smuggles them, starting at 2,000 pieces at a time, and conducts clearance sales. Ships of smuggled arms are wandering in the Atlantic Ocean. .

Before withdrawing from the arms market in Nanyang, Saint-Jesse sold at least 700,000 pistols, 1.05 million submachine guns, and 400,000 assault rifles here. The production lines of Rennes Military Industry were all full, and the productivity of MG-52 assault rifles increased from monthly output The production capacity has increased from 2,000 units to 60,000 units per month.

The three major parts of the firearms use a large number of plastic parts, which are stamped in one piece. The technology is mature. The bullets are made of the cheapest copper-clad steel. A large number of parts production plants have been deployed across the country. There are three assembly plants alone, all in the Ministry of National Defense. Under the protection of Thomas.

Now a large number of gun and arsenal factories have begun to move to Blanca City for the final act of madness.

Except for the three-piece set, which is popular, other large and heavy weapons and materials are difficult to sell. The cost is relatively expensive, and the steel craftsmanship is not up to standard. It is mainly used for the three-piece set, which uses German technology. The performance of a gun is good. Bad, patience, accuracy and rifling quality have a lot to do with it.

The number of heavy weapons sold is small, the sales of rocket launchers and mortars are relatively average, and there are many cases where the technology is not in place. Saint Jose can only ask the research institute to strengthen and continue to strengthen research and development. This naval gun matching is also a good opportunity for the artillery factory. Big challenge.

Fortunately, the special steel factory is currently working hard to develop trial-fit steel, but it is not easy to produce qualified artillery barrels, and processing is also a big problem, requiring a lot of experiments.

The manufacturing process of artillery barrels is even more complicated, and it is not something that ordinary countries can handle. There are probably only about ten countries in the world with top artillery manufacturing technology. This is why Saint Jose wants to compete with the Italians. Reasons for the introduction of artillery technology.

Even though La Plata Steel Plant has now mastered the electric furnace steel technology, there are problems with the steel cannons produced.

First of all, the high-quality alloy steel billet for making the gun barrel needs to go through two steps: rough forging and precision forging. The problem lies in the precision forging step. In fact, it is similar to the deep processing of the gun barrel, but it is several times more difficult and the material requirements are also higher. high.

This is a complete test of the operational proficiency of a technology. If you are not careful, the gun barrel may be destroyed. The gun barrel not only requires high material formulas, but also high processing technology requirements.

This is also the reason why St. Hesse's three-piece set is exported. It is too difficult. After all, it is not stupid to produce a cannon that is only World War I level and the price is World War II level.

St. Hesse doesn't even know how much money he has made from the firearms trade. The amount of exports every month is terrifying. Arming an army of a small country is not a problem.

He was able to open a large number of factories in Blanca City and even support the Hansi Steel Factory with deep pockets because the arms trade was so profitable, much more profitable than mining.

It’s just that there are not many such opportunities, and even selling it in Africa has the tacit approval of the Soviets. The Soviets’ post-war recovery has not been completely successful. Now that the Corn Emperor has just taken office, Eisenhower is preparing to support Ng Dinh Diem in South Vietnam and establish a pro-American democratic regime.

The two major countries have paid a little less attention to Africa. There are still five or six years before the official uprising in Africa. During this period, a lot of goods can still be sold.

Therefore, it is not easy for Saint Hesse to drink some soup, and Saint Hesse only sells British colonies and rarely flows into the French area. After all, we once cooperated quite happily in Saigon.

After the corresponding restructuring of the old five districts, the five districts will be merged into two large districts, and the number of parliamentary members will also be adjusted in the next election.

The 28 square kilometers of Lingang Industrial Zone remain unchanged, with a current population of 24,000, mainly factory workers. It is managed by the Second District to develop the steel industry, light industry, food industry, and other comprehensive industries.

There is a large amount of low-quality coal transported from the Salta area stored here, and the reserves are okay.

The Sapra area is located at the junction of the provinces of Jujuy and Salta. It is a mining area that the person in charge of the Falcon Bureau won through a combination of vertical and horizontal alliances and clever robbery.

This has now become the largest coal mine production base in Argentina, surpassing the Patagonia Plateau. On a coal mine with the logo of Thunder Mining Company hanging, workers are busy.

This mining area is about 50 kilometers wide from north to south and covers an area of ​​about 2,850 square kilometers. It is a large mining area won by Thunder Mining. Iron ore was discovered during exploration.

At first, Bill Bird wanted to mine iron ore and copper ore, but he didn't expect that all he found in the end was some low-quality coal. After searching for more than 50 blasting points, he still found no iron ore, only a pile of coal. The low-quality coal and shredded copper mines made Thunder Mining half-popular. Feeling that they had betrayed the trust of their bosses, they turned to fully develop the Australian coal mines and Uruguay iron ore mines.

In fact, it would not be a loss if there were copper mines, but after a few hundred tons of copper mines were mined, they were gone and the cost could not be recovered. Copper mines not only produce bullet casings, but are also important materials in the power industry.

The transportation in this mining area is mainly ordinary roads, which can connect Salta City, Oran, Cordoba, Buenos Aires and other places, and can be transported to the south by rail and sea.

The recent boom in sales of briquette products has led Thunder Mining to expand production. Because many large-scale mining and excavation machinery have not been popularized, production can only be expanded manually, so a large number of Bolivian workers have been recruited.

After the coal mine is blasted, it is manually excavated and then transported to the dock and railway station by truck. The actual efficiency is not very high. Mining machines are currently being purchased from the UK.

Raffles Boney, the head of exploration in this mining area, still insisted on the existence of iron ore here. When the coal mine was dug 32 meters underground, the light finally appeared.

“This is 45% grade iron ore, God willing, my exploration results are not wrong.”

Raffles held the iron ore and raised it high. There is indeed a large iron ore in Argentina.

He excitedly sat in the mine cart and headed to the ground.



The Free Port is directly managed by the city hall and develops foreign trade processing and assembly industries. In addition to attracting some domestic factory owners, there are also some British people who want to move in this time, and discussions are ongoing.

The 40 square kilometers of the Western New District are newly under jurisdiction. It has a current population of 2,200 people. It is located next to District 1 and is temporarily under the management of District 1. It focuses on developing the chemical industry. The main factories are Maya Chemical's urea plant and synthetic ammonia plant. , integrated chemical plant, as well as a refinery, plasticizing plant, and caustic alkali plant that are under construction.

The Alta district in the east was merged by San Jose in order to establish cooperation with the Belgrano Naval Port. It also has the best conditions among the three towns surrounding Blanca City. The original population was 9,200 people. The Sanhai Shipyard is also located here. The Lingang Industrial Zone in the west of Alta District has a current population of 10,000 people.

In the Makro District in the north, the original population was 4,000, but now the population has increased to 4,500. It was originally a large ranch.

In the western Boska District, the original population of 6,000 has increased to 7,000.

So far, Blanca City has regained 5 jurisdictions, and its development potential has been expanded accordingly.

The population growth of Blanca City has slowed down with the arrival of winter, but compared with last winter, it has increased by more than 70,000 people.

Taking the urban underground pipe network system as an example, the capacity of the pipe network system for the life and production of 1 million people is at least 10 times that of 200,000 people, not 5 times.

In order to ensure the overall adaptability of Blanca City in the future, San Jose needs to cross the threshold of one million people, so he adjusts the administrative divisions as soon as possible to face the massive influx of population in the next few years.

He does not want to build Blanca into a city with a large number of slums.

To this end, San Jose has adopted a regional system reform. Each district is temporarily an agency of the city hall. When conditions are ripe, it will become a permanent agency with various development powers.

This can also mobilize more of these people's enthusiasm for economic development.

The overall development level is still low, but the framework of an industrial city has emerged, especially the Lingang Industrial Zone, which has contributed 70% of tax revenue and 90% of new jobs.

Blanca's booming development has attracted the attention of many foreign companies, and Saint-Jesse has recently been negotiating for the introduction of foreign investment.

However, the unstable domestic situation has stalled many negotiations.

With the large amount of funds accumulated, Saint-Jesse plans to make another major purchase and upgrade the existing industrial infrastructure.

Especially due to rapid expansion, the machinery and equipment of many factories can no longer keep up, and many technologies have fallen behind.
