Time is slowly approaching midsummer. With the increase in rainfall, the grasslands of the southern Pampas are full of lush water and grass. In many places, as the population has increased significantly, some markets and towering settlements are everywhere, and there is a thriving scene. .

It can be said that the weather in Argentina has been smooth this year, with significantly more rainfall than in previous years. There is a bit of a wind-blown weather condition that makes cattle and sheep disappear.

Some places in the western part of La Pampa Province are not suitable for reclamation into agricultural land, so San Jose did not force it, respecting the laws of nature, and only built irrigation systems and mechanized them in areas with relatively abundant water resources such as the Colorado River and the Linenegro River. farming.

While the economy of Blanca City was developing rapidly, some political opponents of San Jose also loomed, but most of them were insignificant. He had been cultivating Blanca City for more than two years and almost three years, and it had completely turned into a rear area. The so-called Most of the wealthy families have a deep relationship with him and receive his favor.

Although Blanca is developing rapidly, its foundation is still not as good as Buenos Aires, Cordoba, and Rosario. It needs to continue to settle and develop. The whole city is full of money and nouveau riche. The taste is not so pragmatic.

It is more radical and innovative here, and the latest ideas from all over the world are spread here.

But there are too many people here, and there are more unstable factors.

Unlike the city of St. Martin, there are relatively few people and peaceful development.

If San Jose wants to develop the city of Blanca, it must also borrow help.

But borrowing power will attract more careerists.

There is nothing we can do about this.

Where there are many people, there are more talents.

The disadvantages of rapid development can only be solved slowly.

Moreover, when Saint Jose formed a defense force, it became a thorn in the eyes of many people.

The foundation is unstable, so many people want something to happen to Saint Jose.

Saint Jose's huge wealth also gradually became apparent, making many people jealous.

No one is stupid.

December 20,

Sanjesé led a group of people from the city hall to inspect Sanhai Shipbuilding in the Port of Gilat in the Alta District and attended today's ship launching ceremony.

Also accompanying him were people from the Spanish National Shipyard, who were of great help to the development of Sanhais Shipbuilding.

A group of bodyguards and agents were deployed around Saint Jose to ensure his safety and prevent danger.

In recent months, several groups of people have tried to assassinate him. Most of them were nipped in the bud by the Falcon Bureau, and the storm has become increasingly fierce.

Although a few pawns were seized, some of whom were colluding with city officials, the real big fish did not appear.

His enemies are more patient.

In addition to the reason for the relocation of the city hall, someone in San Jose also released the news that he is preparing to continue running for the next mayor's position late next year, which made some people start to sit still.

Blanca is a hot spot right now.

Argentina’s second-largest city and capital of a large province has many people wondering if they can get a piece of the pie.

Compared to assassination, this is child's play.

All kinds of public opinions and backstabbing.

There is a lot of fanaticism in Argentina right now.

The bright ones can't be compared to the yin ones.

In fact, it is also a smoke bomb. He actually wants to clear some obstacles for the development of Blanca City again.

The Port of Gilat is a large port newly built in Blanca City in the past two years. It has a huge area and is currently one of the three large ports in Blanca City.

It is only 6 kilometers away from the most prosperous Lingang Industrial Zone in Dongcheng District and very close to the Port of Belgrano.

It used to be a huge wasteland, but after Sanhai Shipbuilding settled in, it developed rapidly.

A large number of shipbuilding supporting factories and some new small shipyards have also settled in the area.

The current port area of ​​Gilat is crowded, and you can see shops everywhere. The houses and streets are extremely prosperous, and the planning is quite good.

People are coming and going on the street, and various shops have been opened. In addition to shipyards, there are a large number of small factories supporting front shops and back factories. Mechanical processing, plate processing, parts production, and diesel engine factories have all settled here.

Behind the port area is a huge industrial city with almost 80,000 people, half of which are related to the shipbuilding industry.

The most important factory here is Sankai Shipbuilding Blanca Factory, which has almost more than 5,000 shipbuilders. It is also one of the largest super-large factories in Blanca City. Shipyards have begun to be built in large quantities and there are many orders.

There were many trading ships cruising on the sea near the port, and there was a busy scene everywhere. At this time, the two large ships on the sea that were about to be launched attracted everyone's attention. These were real 50,000-ton ships, ready to be delivered to Prairie fleet.

San Jose has been waiting for this ship for more than three years. Although these two ships are not independently developed by Sanhai Shipbuilding, but are more authorized by Spanish shipyards, they are also the first time that Argentina has independently manufactured 50,000-ton ships. ship.

He looked at this giant ship. It looked quite oppressive. It was bigger than the warships in Belgrano Port, but warships often represented war defense, while this black giant ship represented peaceful trade.

"Sanhai Shipbuilding is really amazing. I didn't expect that we in Argentina could build such a large ship. Although it is not a big shipbuilding country, it is also a historic progress..."

Saint Jose stood on the viewing platform to speak, and saw not far away the giant dock of Sanhai Shipbuilding Blanca Shipyard, slowly sending ships into the sea.

He had only seen information and photos from Spanish shipyards, but had never seen ships of this type. He placed an order for 5 ships from Spanish shipyards.

In fact, there are not many companies ordering this ship, only from within St. Jose. Everyone is not very confident about Spain, which once was able to produce the Armada. Even the Spaniards do not have much confidence, and St. Jose is not willing to Taking advantage of them, the Spanish produced and sold them for 4 million U.S. dollars, which is more expensive than the United States.

Of course, this price also includes design fees and so on, so the price/performance ratio is not high.

Therefore, the Spanish shipyard generously sold all its technology and equipment to Sanhais Shipbuilding, and San Jose also spent an additional sum of money.

Now it has basically moved to Blanca City. The shipyard here is already larger than the La Plata Shipyard, which can only produce fishing boats and 10,000-ton ships.

The five cargo ships of the Spanish shipyard are used to transport various raw materials from the La Plata Steel Plant, and their safety can still be guaranteed.

This ship is larger than all the ships on the Gulf of Blanca and ranks among the best in the world.

St. Hesse not only required Sanhai Shipbuilding to build dry bulk carriers specifically for cargo minerals, but also began to build oil tankers. The goal is to independently design 100,000-ton oil tankers and bulk carriers. This is also the development trend of the future shipping industry. He has already started from Many shipbuilding experts have been recruited from abroad. The goal is to implement a development plan in about 60 years and to fully understand the existing technology while designing.

To this end, Sanhais Shipbuilding, together with the National University of the South, the University of Buenos Aires, and the University of La Plata, established the Buenos Aires Ship Design Institute to prepare for the construction of domestic super cargo ships.

Through cooperation with the Spanish National Shipyard, Sanjesé purchased shipbuilding technology from Germany, Italy and the United States. The technical research level of Sanhais Shipbuilding has advanced by leaps and bounds. He plans to establish a ship and maritime academy in Blanca City to train more ship designers. Talent.

The Argentinian diesel engine factory has also begun to design large diesel engines in an effort to further reduce ship costs.

After all, in the 1950s, oil tankers of 30,000 to 40,000 tons were considered "super tankers", and the scale of world trade increased rapidly. Small ships of less than 50,000 tons could no longer meet the demand. The demand of the Prali fleet alone There are 2 million tons to 5 million tons. These two 50,000-ton cargo ships are also ordered by Prali Fleet. Other customized ore bulk carriers such as Thunder Mining, La Plata Steel and other companies are also at the dock. preparing.

Two hours later, both ships entered the sea safely, moored safely at the port, and began preparing to load cargo directly.

One of them is named "Prawley Mining", costing 2 million U.S. dollars, and selling for 3 million U.S. dollars. The price is quite affordable, more than 500,000 U.S. dollars cheaper than American freighters of the same level, and the manufacturing period is 6 months. It is considered very fast. It has entered a mature construction cycle and the construction period can be shortened a lot.

The Spanish shipyard helps with the design and construction. Now it only needs to build a large number of shipyards and then produce according to orders. Sanhai Shipbuilding has already received orders for 31 new ships, mostly from domestic and foreign countries. The production cost can also be reduced a lot. It needs Ship materials have begun to be transported continuously.

These freighters are mainly designed and manufactured for transporting Australian coal mines. They are about 200 meters long, 32 meters wide, with a draft of 11 meters and a design speed of 12 knots.

Blanca Bay is not a large deep-water harbor, but after deep excavation and widening, it can berth such a giant ship, and the same is true of Belgrano Port.

These two cargo ships are about the same size as a football field. They can transport coal, ore, timber, livestock, grain, etc. They mainly sail on oceans and trade with Southeast Asia and Australia.

It has basically withstood the test. As long as 10 more ships are launched and there are no problems, many Argentine trade fleets and Southeast Asian fleets will be interested in purchasing them.

After all, if the safety of navigation can be guaranteed, then it will definitely be cheaper.

But the safety of the freighter comes first.

The foundation of Argentina's shipbuilding industry is weak. Most people have no confidence in building a 50,000-ton shipyard at once.

Only the San Jose Group can guarantee this initial order issue.

Even some foreign business groups that have close ties with Saint Jose don't have much confidence.

Saint-Jesse was actually afraid of taking too big a step and causing trouble, but this was something that had to be done.

The two ships were loaded with cargo at the dock, transporting 100,000 tons of steel to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and then sailed out slowly.

St. Hesse was relieved. This time, he still had to transport 100,000 tons of iron ore from Vale, and then transport it to ports in Southeast Asia and Australia.

"This is a small step for the development of Blanca's shipbuilding industry, but it is a big step for the development of Argentina's shipbuilding industry. Our city hall will make every effort to ensure the development of Blanca's shipbuilding industry."

He delivered a speech at the ceremony, which was met with huge cheers.

The whole crowd was shouting the name of Saint Jose.

Those who didn’t know it thought it was a concert.

Fortunately, there was no assassination or anything like that in this ceremony.

The Falcon Bureau was well prepared.

At the request of Saint Jose,

Sanhai Shipbuilding sold mature shipbuilding technologies such as 2,200-ton fishing boats and 550-ton fishing boats at low prices, and began to specialize in the manufacture of large ships, which was also diversified.

Blanca Commercial Bank and Barron's Bank have dedicated credit funds to support the development of the shipbuilding industry.

The Martinez family, the Anderson family, and the Gray family all expressed interest in joining the shipbuilding industry to St. Jose, and each obtained a large loan from the bank to build their own shipyard.



late December,

San Jose was also formally nominated by the La Pampa Provincial Council and the Radical Party as a candidate for high office in the second term of La Pampa Province.

Such news caused an uproar.

Many people in the La Pampa Provincial Office were unable to sit still.

The door of Lata's senior official was almost knocked down.

There are also a group of people in Blanca City Hall who can't sit still.

After all, Saint-Jesse actually wanted to be young, and most people thought he might serve for three or four terms.

However, many political opponents were dumbfounded by the fact that La Pampa was nominated by a high-ranking official.

The preparation they made was wrong. Not only was Saint Jose not an enemy, but he was a target to please.

There is only regret in my heart.

It’s just that Saint Jose has collected enough evidence.

Plan to catch them all in one fell swoop.

Blanca City is still in his hands.

I just need to find someone I can trust.

For example, some of the Radical Party’s henchmen.

As long as he puts out words to support anyone.

Basically a sure thing.

His prestige in Blanca City is too high.

La Pampa Province is actually the Province of Aiva Bilon. It was officially renamed in June this year. The same is true for Chaco Province. It was changed back from Juan Bilon Province. The Bilon couple used their names as the names of the two provinces. , which can be considered quite special.

In fact, La Pampa was not established as a province for a long time. After Patagonia was merged with Patagonia in 1878 and the administrative region was established, La Pampa was divided into administrative regions in 1884. It was not until 1951 that the province was established and new senior officials were elected in 1952. It is now considered a province. Just the second session.

La Pampa is a very young province. It was not until last year that the city of Blanca and the three coastal towns were merged and the provincial capital was moved. After rapid development, La Pampa has a place in Argentina.

Neighboring Rio Negro, Neuquen, and Chubut were not provinces at all originally, but administrative districts. In the past two or three years, they have been changed to provinces. Of course, administrative districts also enjoy the status of provinces, and the chiefs of administrative districts are also called senior officials. .

Before the province was changed, the governors of administrative regions were generally appointed by the Presidential Palace. However, the Argentine capital city, Buenos Aires, has always been appointed by the Presidential Palace. It is not elected. The city council is elected. Buenos Aires Saires also has a larger number of MPs, more than 300, and its status will be higher.

The game between local provinces and the presidential palace. In provinces such as Cordoba, it is entirely local warlords. The wealthy have the upper hand. Tax payment is a big problem. The authority of the Argentine presidential palace is very weak, and it has only improved in recent years.

With the step-by-step purge, support for the relocation of Blanca City Hall grew louder and louder. The city council and city hall jointly applied to La Pampa Province and it was approved.

Blanca City Hall will be relocated within 3 months, while the La Pampa Provincial Hall team election will be held in 4 months.
