San Jose stood on the top of the tallest building in the city, the Hotel England Blanca, overlooking the city. There was no wind, so it was not that cold.
This hotel was originally built by the British, with a height of 15 floors and more than 50 meters. Later, British capital withdrew in large quantities from Argentina and was transferred to the Hector Gay family. It is now leased by Barron's Bank and used as an office building. Many companies and factories also operate here.
As the city of Blanca grew, San Jose continued to wave banknotes, using the strong financing capabilities of Barron's Bank, coupled with its increasingly abundant finances, to form one of Argentina's most imaginative markets.
The desolate grassland in winter stretches as far as the eye can see. In the distance, there are some small hills spread on the plains, and some small rivers flow on the plains.
Looking to the east, there are newly built residential areas, most of which have not yet been topped off, and then there is a desolate open space. Further to the east, you can see factories rising from the ground. Most of these factories are two or three floors. Yes, this is the huge Lingang Industrial Zone.
There are some real estate developers specializing in building residential communities on the construction sites in Blanca City, and banks also provide loan services for commercial residences.
A new group of businessmen and factory owners emerged, and the influence of the established families gradually declined.
Hansi Steel is located further east in the Lingang Industrial Zone. The iron-making blast furnace has been built to a height of more than 20 meters. Two large blast furnaces of 1,000 cubic meters are under construction at the same time, which can speed up the construction progress.
Yes, the final output increased by more than 400,000 tons from the originally planned 1.8 million tons.
It’s not that St. Jose is aiming too high. It is indeed easier to repair a 1,000 cubic blast furnace than three 500 cubic blast furnaces, but the cost increase is not too much, and the technical difficulty has increased.
This will also help to continue to expand production capacity in the future. Higher blast furnaces also mean that a certain amount of air pollution can be reduced when current technology cannot reach it.
In order to avoid too much increase in air pollution, Saint Jose is unwilling to locate cement plants within the city limits.
The same is true for newly established fertilizer plants. The sewage discharge facilities are also as perfect as possible. For example, the pollution of the Maria Fertilizer Plant is relatively serious.
Ammonia, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and dust produced by fertilizer plants will pollute the air. Wastewater and waste residues will also cause long-term pollution of groundwater and soil.
Fortunately, San Jose also considered it at the beginning, locating Maria's ammonia plant in a valley that is sparsely populated and far away from residential areas, but now it has caused a lot of environmental pollution.
After all, the city of St. Martin now has a population of almost 300,000, and a number of new factories have also been built.
.....
June 5th, today is Saturday, an ordinary day.
St. Jose, who was still working overtime as usual, had finished handling most of the things and listened to the reports from several district leaders. Only then did he have time to look at the calendar on the table and found that today was the Dragon Boat Festival. Of course, this had nothing to do with him.
This calendar was a gift from the Chinatown in Cordoba. It was so warm that Saint Jose accepted it.
With the help of San Jose, Argentinian Chinese have established a new group of immigrant gathering areas in the cities of San Martin and Cordoba, forming Chinatowns. These Chinese are basically from the Southeast Asian region, as well as from Peru. Chinese.
There is currently a war going on in Southeast Asia, especially in Malaya and Indonesia. There are large quantities of cheap arms made in Argentina.
It's just that most of them were sold to local forces that wanted independence, such as Achi, northern Myanmar, East Timor, southern Thailand, West Irian, Khmer, Saigon, Brunei, Malay Communist Party, etc.
Nowadays, the Nanyang Chinese are more tough than in history, but this may not help the change in status.
After all, in the absence of a strong organization, it can indeed be said that the Chinese here are scattered, acting cautiously in all aspects, focusing on business and education, but not paying much attention to politics.
In Malaya, the British were suspicious, and the local Chinese split into several groups, spreading their strength.
The situation in Indonesia may be better now, but the Indonesian Socialist Party's hope of peacefully seizing power is somewhat naive.
A large number of Chinese from Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaya began to migrate to other countries, such as the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and other regions.
There are also a group of people who returned to New China and Hong Kong. After the 1970s, New China did not recognize dual nationality, which led to the distinction between overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese.
Now Argentina can be considered a small place, of course the number is not too large.
There is a lack of development opportunities here, and it seems a bit chaotic. Saint Jose neither encourages nor opposes it.
Although the Chinese are now only a small part of the population, they have also shown strong business capabilities, and Saint Jose is more willing to help.
The natives of Blanca City are not very keen on doing business, and there is no way to change it for a while, so he can only provide more guidance.
Saint Jose's thoughts were racing and he was just about to get off work when he heard a knock on the door and his secretary Vivian ran in panting.
"Mr. Mayor, emergency broadcast."
Then he quickly helped Saint Jose turn on the huge radio FM machine,
"In the name of the President of Argentina, I declare that Argentina will have freedom of belief from now on... The status of the state religion will be abolished, the special status will be abolished, and church leaders from Cordoba and other places will attend a meeting in Buenos Aires before June 10 ....."
Bilon delivered a public radio speech, and the Argentine Congress initiated a constitutional amendment to openly cancel the status of the Catholic Church as the state religion.
Saint Jose was really shocked. He didn't expect Bilong to do something that he had never done before.
It can be said that it had a profound impact and dealt a fatal blow to the Argentine church.
This is almost a devastating blow to the church. After all, what was originally just talk has now become a constitutional amendment.
Even now is not the time to amend the Constitution.
Bilong said in his speech,
Saint Jose was indeed a little uneasy. He immediately called the Falcon Bureau. This was really a shock.
"I'm Cohen. I'm going to investigate immediately what's going on with this constitutional amendment. Isn't it during the recess? How did it pass it?"
Saint Jose looked out the window and saw that the people downstairs were already in action.
Workers came out of the factory and staged sit-ins and marches.
A few minutes later, Guerrero called himself.
"Boss, we have already investigated. The presidential palace passed it by force. There were simply not enough votes in the Assembly. This has been spread in Buenos Aires. The police department has also begun to prepare. There is news that Cordo Wa has already planned to bring the army directly over."
Saint Jose breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
It is reported that Bilon also plans to form a militia force to confront the Argentine military warlords, but is afraid that this army will not obey the command.
Seems very hesitant.
This was a test after the Argentine Federation of Labor disbanded.
But no concrete progress has been heard. Now Bilong is not only annoyed by the army, but also afraid of workers' forces.
Intelligence shows that the warlords are demanding that the Argentine Federation of Labor not be mentioned again. Recently, warlords from all over the country have asked Bilon to remove ministers and officials who have deep cooperative relations with the workers.
An hour after Bilon delivered a national radio address, Archbishop Lafitte of Cordoba also delivered a radio address to the nation.
“I am Bishop Lafitte of Cordoba. I express doubts about the illegal adoption of new constitutional amendments by the Presidential Palace. This is a step on the fairness of the Argentine Constitution. I call on the people across the country to oppose Bilon’s violation of the constitution... …”
The church immediately hit back, claiming that the Bilom presidential palace violated the constitution.
This is different from the two archbishops who expelled Buenos Aires. Cordoba is a completely independent kingdom and a de facto warlord.
These warlords called Bilong directly and demanded that Bilong resolve the church problem in a peaceful manner immediately.
"Dear Mr. President, we demand the immediate cancellation of the constitutional amendment. This is against the constitution..."
After military leaders from various places reacted, they immediately put pressure on the Presidential Palace.
Saint Jose was sitting there watching the show, all he needed to do was get melon seeds.
To be honest, canceling the status of the state religion is not a good tactic.
This can only be said to be a fearless challenge.
Before educating the church group into good children, they directly launched a charge.
It is tantamount to committing suicide.
After all, the church is on the military list, and they really have fists.
It's just that these things really caused chaos in Argentina's spiritual world.
This was an unusual radio speech.
Somewhat unexpected.
Again in estimation.
Bilong likes to go off the beaten path.
…
St. Hesse didn't know what trump cards Bilon had.
This Bilong speech triggered some chain reactions.
Citizens in Blanca City and San Martin City rested as usual, and the impact was not significant. The power of the church here had already declined to its lowest point.
The town hall in Blanca City was peaceful and stable. The speaker and various directors and ministers came over to chat, and Saint Jose initially stabilized the morale of the army.
You can't get involved in this kind of thing, just keep developing safely.
Blanca City is currently his largest power group and a strong supporter. The Radical Party here is basically under him.
As long as the rear of the city hall is stable, we can pick some peaches and drink soup in the subsequent situation.
Saint Jose held an emergency municipal meeting, convening the heads of the five districts, the heads of the four major political parties, the deputy mayor and council leader, the police department, and the heads of the 10 major ministries and bureaus. In addition, the meeting record-keepers have been There are 25 people.
Everyone took their seats one after another, and there was no conversation. Saint Jose had roughly taken a breath. He looked at the time, and it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
"This emergency meeting lasts for one hour. There are not many things, but they are all important. I hope everyone can pay attention to it."
“Now the whole country is in chaos. In addition to the necessary security maintenance at the police department, prevention work must be done at the city hall. All departments must make emergency plans to achieve rapid response. I don’t want another 1.25 cloth to happen. Tragic incidents like the Lanka City bombing.”
"The remaining personnel must also do their jobs well and establish a permanent rapid response department."
Saint Jose looked at the group of principals of Blanca City with a gentle expression, and most of their expressions did not change much.
Everyone expressed their agreement. The meeting moved forward very quickly, and some departmental proposals were quickly adopted. Saint-Jesse also announced that all overtime workers in the city's city hall civil servants will receive three times their wages, and the rest will be replaced by municipal subsidies.
Although the money is not much, it is at least an encouragement to these civil servants.
San Jose has made specific work arrangements.
At such a critical moment, the whole team still needs to work together. As the top person in charge of the Blanca City Hall, Saint-Jesse leads the charge, and others will not fall behind too much. The atmosphere is much better than before.
The development of Blanca City is good for everyone. As long as it is not a large-scale corruption or something, he will turn a blind eye.
On Sunday, St. Jose personally sat in the city hall, and there was nothing specific to do for him. The people under his command would help him get it done.
Cordoba is already preparing for war. They have attracted a group of warlords across the country, and Buenos Aires seems to have become an isolated island.
St. Jose had a two-hour phone call with General Thomas Jr. to exchange their views and expressed solidarity with him when necessary.
I also communicated with General Jose in Bayjun Port all morning at his residence. If necessary, the Navy in Bayjun Port will support General Tomps Jr.
As for the City of San Martin, if you don’t block or support it, do whatever you have to do. At the same time, say hello to the Provincial Council. After all, in the face of strong military power, not causing trouble is the best response, and you will not offend Cordoba. Come down and watch the changes.
Let the Falcon Bureau do the necessary intelligence work. I also contacted my father-in-law's family and had a brief chat. Saint Hessidi doesn't need to make too much limelight now, just observe the changes. After all, he is also within the Justice Party faction. Yes, if the military really succeeds in seizing power, it will definitely be ostracized.
As for the major newspapers, they are not making any comments for the time being because they are doing what they are supposed to do to prevent them from being targeted.
After making all arrangements and responses, Saint Jose stood up and looked out the window. At this time, it suddenly started snowing heavily, and the snowflakes outside the window became heavier and heavier.
