Not only were Argentina's various political alliances split, but the divisions within the Argentine army became increasingly obvious, and the army began to split into two major factions.

One group advocates that the military should withdraw from politics and support a constitutional government, while the other group still demands that the military directly take control of political power and that the military serve as protectors of the country.

This gave Saint Jose a chance to breathe and develop. Many people within the National Defense Forces supported La Pampa's military reform and expansion.

San Jose was also from the Cordoba Army, but he was just an unorthodox officer. This mark cannot be changed, and it is also the reason why he can attract a large number of military talents.

Many people now regard the La Pampa Defense Force as an extension of the Cordoba Defense Force in the southern provinces, and indeed many of the backbone forces within the La Pampa Defense Force come from Cordoba.

This allowed St. Jose to win a lot of favor within the National Defense Forces, instead of the naive wooing like before.

In fact, Saint Hesse also thought about it. Before there is no strength, everything is in vain. No matter how strong the economic strength is, it cannot override the state machinery.

What's more, it is impossible for Argentina to have economic oligarchs like the Rockefeller and Morgan families in the United States control the state machinery. Moreover, as the country's economy develops, it will inevitably become decentralized. Only small countries and backward feudal families can control the state machinery.

Unless Argentina is satisfied with this development, it is not enough to lie flat. It is probably better to divide it into several pieces.

San Jose once had General Jose and General Tomps Jr. in the National Defense Forces, but now the relationship is quite estranged.

When people are in their position, they seek their own government.

From the moment General Thomas Jr. was elected as Minister of Defense, he was already somewhat different from Saint Jose, not only because of political ambitions, but also for other reasons.

Many officers of the Ministry of National Defense contemptuously called San Jose Cohen a "provincial militia" and an "upstart", and called the La Pampa Defense Force a "militia association composed of a group of militiamen" and an "Indian tribe with low combat effectiveness." "The bear trying to imitate the Soviet Bolsheviks" and "the careerist Gaucho".

This situation is particularly serious in the Buenos Aires Capital Garrison. They are both naval and air force factions. The Army actually has a good impression of Saint Jose, and they are not concerned about the strength of the defense forces.

In addition to the military, his political opponents began to use a magnifying glass to find problems with him.

St. Jose Cohen's identity and background were dug out in depth, and his identity as a Gaucho became a point of attack on him. Many people tried to dig up dirt on him, but they were basically indifferent things.

Mistresses are not easy targets. After all, former President Bilon was accused of targeting young girls. Instead, they are regarded as a symbol of charm. People in Argentina worship the strong, and the attraction to women is as long as they are not. Forced and illegal, both should be respected.

San Jose never embezzled a dime, and even spent his own money to subsidize the city hall.

He has no criminal record and has not even fought. He is a "good citizen" in the traditional sense. It is completely legal to direct the police department to quell the riots to prevent more citizens from being harmed.

His academic performance at the university was also very good, and his performance as a member of Parliament in Blanca was also very good. His resume was perfect, and he was quite courageous. He was very useful in quickly putting down the rebellion, reforming criminals, and developing the economy.

The only problem may be the issue of age, but the constitution of La Pampa Province does not have such restrictions and regulations because the constitution of La Pampa Province is not perfect.

This makes many people who despise and look down on him only talk, but it is difficult to take action.

San Jose has never been shy about his gaucho identity, which is actually very popular in the province of La Pampa.

The province of La Pampa, which is the southern part of the Pampas and the Patagonia region, was once the territory of Argentina’s minority Indian ethnic group.

This resulted in a large number of mixed Indians and Gauchos in La Pampa Province. Almost half of the natives in La Pampa Province have Indian ancestry, although most of them are of maternal ancestry. Most of the male Indian tribes were ruled by Roga at that time. The general and the national army were wiped out.

One of these Indian tribes used to be called the Rankels. Their leaders, Lianctru and Mongla, were once very famous. His tribe once attracted a large number of escaping Gauchos, making them the most troublesome domestic problem in Argentina at that time. question.

The war made the provinces of La Pampa and Rio Negro sparsely populated at that time (there were originally few people), and the Administrative Region of La Pampa was not allowed to build an independent defense force. La Pampa Province only slowly relaxed this ban last year.

San Jose seized the opportunity to merge and divide the Buenos Aires province, which was equivalent to "revenge". It also established the La Pampa Defense Force, which was also regarded as a role in the revival and growth of La Pampa Province.

However, dispersing and introducing talents, expanding the market, increasing immigration, expanding the population, and developing the economy have not shown any tendency to try to split Argentina, and are also valued by some civil servants.

Saint José is considered a hero of the city of Blanca.

Most people can benefit from the development of Blanca City, and the influx of population will not affect the good development of the original locals, as long as you do not seek death.

President Alanburu himself does not want to continue to be president, and prefers to "return power to civilian officials."



San Jose is now not only recruiting a large number of military officers in the army, but also recruiting elites who are dissatisfied with Buenos Aires. The three southern provinces work together and have Blanca City as a production base, which can stabilize prices very well.

Inflation was also significantly reduced, restoring Argentina's international credibility and improving the economic situation of the Southern Province.

Blanca City has become a new window for the development of foreign exchanges.

Blanca's foreign investment has surpassed Buenos Aires for four consecutive months this year, becoming Argentina's new darling in international hot capital.

Blanca is not far from the Argentinian market and has convenient transportation from several nearby countries. San Jose has raised a large amount of funds for the construction of public works in Blanca.

A number of skyscrapers with more than 50 floors began to be built in the main east and west urban areas to welcome international financial investment.

San Jose also proposed to build a stock exchange in Blanca City to further attract domestic funds and at the same time accelerate Argentina's financial modernization reform.

"Everyone knows that Argentina's original exchange can no longer meet the needs of the stock market's prosperity and development."

"Our neighbor Brazil has two major exchanges, but we in Argentina only have one, and the system is very backward and cannot meet our needs, which has become an obstacle to our financial modernization."

“I hope that the Congress will allow me to propose that we establish an Argentine stock exchange in Blanca to revitalize Blanca’s financial market faster.”

"We all know that the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange was founded in 1854. It once represented the Argentine economy and could compete with the New York Stock Exchange, the National Stock Exchange, and the São Paulo Stock Exchange, but now it is far away We are far behind, as many good Argentinian companies are unwilling to list on the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange and lack access to transactions.”

After obtaining the consent of the city hall and parliament, San Jose officially submitted documents to the La Pampa Provincial Council to establish the Argentine National Stock Exchange, focusing on the listing and financing of small and medium-sized companies, targeting small and medium-sized enterprises.

Alternative names include Blanca Stock Exchange, Argentina Southern Exchange, Pampas Stock Exchange, etc. to activate Argentina's financial market and ease the thirst for funds of booming companies.

Sanjesé does not have a single listed company in Argentina, but he owns at least 10 companies that meet listing standards.

Apart from the fact that he is good at the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange, he does not want to expose his financial resources or lose control.

The Cohen Consortium has gone through many reforms and has become a very complex funding system.

With Barron's Bank as the center, Barron's Insurance Company, Barron's Securities, and Prairie International, these financial securities platforms have achieved absolute control over their companies.

The financial resources exposed now are still the tip of the iceberg, but they are also very amazing. Just like La Plata Steel Plant, Prali Foods, Mirinda United Beverages, and Maya Chemicals, they are basically the first in Argentina. level.

Before being disbanded, Rennes Military Industry was also the first private arms company, and now New Cohen Heavy Industries has been transformed into a comprehensive military machinery industry group.

For many companies such as Thunder Mining and Thunder Shield Automobile, San Jose does not directly appear on the names of shareholders, but is held by his subordinates.

In addition, there are a large number of overseas assets. The acquisition and holding of some potential companies such as American Sequoia, Brazilian brokerage, Japanese Honda, Tokyo Electronics, and German Audi are all very hidden.

After the Falcon Bureau completely moved underground, many non-core members and supporting companies were separated. These parts alone can form a large trading company.

St. Hesse has also begun to streamline and merge some company factories and abandon some unnecessary trading companies to prevent too much energy from being involved. At the same time, it can also release some of its development experience and models.

Many companies and factories in Argentina are too primitive. Although trade protectionism can protect local factories well, it lacks international competitiveness.

This is very fatal. Many Argentine companies are vulnerable. Since Argentina opened up to the outside world last year, almost 20 medium and large companies have been acquired by American companies and become subsidiaries.

In automobiles, tractors, grain and oil production, agricultural trade, food processing, textiles and clothing, foreign companies, especially American companies, have created very strong competitive pressure on Saint-Jesse.

Many companies and factories in Blanca already have a very large competitive advantage, which is remarkable in Argentina.



Some of the world's cutting-edge factories have begun to appear in Blanca City, such as electric lamp factories and fan factories. These are local factories with a slightly higher technical content but are not high-tech.

Most of these factories are invested by the State-owned Assets Commission of Blanca City, which introduces foreign technology, builds factories, and at the same time attracts local investment to produce parts and components.

The core component factories of electrical appliances, such as fan motors, use imitation methods. Pajun Copper, controlled by Thunder Mining, has established a wire factory and a motor factory in Blanca City for these core components.

Others, such as the fan iron sheet and casing, only need to be hammered and hammered, and a small machine shop can make them.

Sean Glass Factory, headquartered in Blanca City, has developed into a large-scale glass company. It has established three large-scale glass factories in Blanca City and also receives orders for glass bulbs. It can be said to be quite extensive, not only for automobiles. Glass, food glass, electrical appliance glass, architectural glass.

San Jose, with its deep pockets, has set the scale of the new plant of Blanca Steel Plant at 6 million tons, which is directly the same as that of La Plata Steel Plant.

Each newly built iron-making blast furnace is larger in scale, more technologically advanced, and more energy-saving. It not only uses steel blast furnace construction technology from Austria and Belgium, but also introduces the most advanced production technology from the United States Steel Company under the auspices of Thain. , directly leaping into the world's first-class level.

In the future, there will be three super-large blast furnaces here, each with a design volume of 2,500 cubic meters and an annual output of 2 million tons of molten iron. The planned construction time is 2.5 to 3 years, and an investment of more than 80 million US dollars is expected.

Blast furnace No. 1 is already under construction, and foundations for No. 2 and No. 3 are also being prepared.

Three large blast furnaces are located in the easternmost part of Alta District, which can also reduce environmental pollution to the city center. A large industrial inbound and outbound port with an annual throughput of more than 20 million tons will also be built here.

Hansi Steel Plant will also continue to expand its iron-making production capacity. It will use 1,000 cubic meter and 1,580 cubic meter blast furnaces with cheaper prices and mature technology to rapidly expand its iron-making production capacity and the construction time will be faster.



"Business is business, and feelings are feelings. You are all very good. The market competition is actually very cruel. I wish you success."

Impacted by internationalization and the myth of overnight wealth, many outstanding civil servants from the Blanca City Hall asked San Jose to resign, and many civil servants from the Blanca Municipal State Assets Commission left one after another.

Another very important reason is that many international companies poach people, and some have reasons to attack competitors.

Saint Jose didn't have much to hold on to, and it was time for a new batch of fresh blood.

The market is very cruel, and some of it is due to manipulation.

He has seen some of the tricks of later generations.

For example, there is a position that needs to be moved.

Civil servants in the city hall cannot be dismissed at will.

Then we can unite with a private company, poach you at a high price, and really make you resign from public office. Then we can just find any excuse to kick you out or go back on your word.

It’s not easy for the bosses of private companies to make money.

Some people just get screwed, and then find out that it's not that good, and they want to go back but can't.

"Mayor Cohen, you are a good boss."

Many of his subordinates said this to Saint Jose when they left, and Saint Jose sneered.

A good boss cannot be eaten as a meal.

San Jose directly organized a civil service examination to fill the city hall positions.

Blanca City Hall has seen a large turnover of talent.

As for such civil servants with one or two years of experience, they may soon run into obstacles everywhere in society.
