Under the intimidation of two powerful organizations, the military and the National Police Agency, no one dared to cause trouble when the exchange opened, and those who showed signs of causing trouble were killed.
The deterrent effect of the regular army is still very strong. This was not formed at the beginning, but also after a long period of hard work.
The La Pampa Defense Force and the Maritime Police of the Police Department formed a maritime defense force to cooperate with the La Pampa Customs to combat illegal smuggling and smuggling. They purchased many fast yachts, but the harvest was often not very good. It was not discovered until after many failures. There was a report from a mole. Even if the mole problem was solved, the situation has not been very good.
Later, when we cracked down on black factory crimes, we discovered that many times the smugglers were so crazy that they did not sneak in by sea or land, but entered through honest and formal routes. They gradually undermined the vigilance of those poor people.
On one occasion, the director of the Police Department personally led a team to crack down on illegal illegal workers, rescued illegal illegal workers, and established a huge criminal network.
Some of them even entered through the official fleet of San Jose, but were lured into the city limits of Blanca and had strongholds in the prosperous areas of the city in the east and west districts.
Most of these people were treated to good food and drinks for a few days, spent a few days in bars and luxury hotels, and then were uniformly escorted to farms outside Blanca City. There was no one around for several kilometers or even more than 10 kilometers. And there are a lot of armed guards.
After these people were sent to a certain farm, they began to change their appearance. They were crowded with about a hundred illegal immigrants. Most of these people were thin and were locked together. They were from Brazil, and some did not speak Spanish. It's like being a slave, being auctioned, and those who resist are given canes or gun butts.
Their eyes were filled with confusion. Here, people would be picked one after another and taken away to work in black factories and black farms on the outskirts of Blanca City. They were not paid and usually lived in cowsheds. When someone checked, they would be sent to work. They were locked up in the basement. Those who disobeyed would be locked up in a small dark room and starved for several days, or fed pig food.
The stowaways are pretty good. Those rescued from factories and black farms basically have dull eyes and even injuries all over their bodies. They have despaired of life. Most of them were coaxed to come here with the yearning for a better life, but they live a miserable life. The pigs in the Pampas grassland are freer than them and don't have to work.
Fortunately, after many severe crackdowns, confiscating assets and even sending them to the Antarctic Prison in Argentina, these black factory owners did not dare to be too presumptuous. With the influx of a large number of foreigners, the labor shortage situation improved. Such situations have become increasingly rare.
These thugs and criminal gangs raised by black factory owners once posed certain personal safety risks to Saint Jose, so they simply arrested them all and sent them to prison for rehabilitation, or sent them to the sea to let them experience how they dealt with those poor people. The way people do it.
There is no death penalty in Argentina, which does not mean that these people cannot be executed. Some of his subordinates will help him do these things.
This is not the period of the "dirty war" of later generations. Urban guerrillas and terrorism have not yet appeared, and they may never appear again.
That kind of extreme situation can only occur when the army collapses, the economy collapses, and society is completely in chaos, at least not in Argentina today.
Even now workers' uprising is not possible. Argentina has a scarce population but a large number of troops. There are only a million workers in the country, but there are almost more than 400,000 troops of various types.
Unemployed Argentines are waiting for relief, and those who are not unemployed have become a little cautious, especially those in non-state-owned factories, who are afraid to participate in demonstrations and strikes.
Even in Buenos Aires, which has the largest number of workers, a week-long large-scale strike is only for a wage increase, not for the establishment of a new regime.
Although a large part of the army has low combat effectiveness, it is already very powerful compared to the untrained urban workers who can only fight guerrillas.
At least under the control of San Jose, or the Southern Radical Party under his leadership, Blanca City has a prosperous economy, with many job opportunities, and capable people will not take desperate measures because of unemployment.
Of course, with economic development, there is an influx of more than 1.2 million foreign residents, and there are also many kinds of chaos and crimes. This cannot be avoided.
However, the Police Department strictly controls gun licenses and has not issued them for a long time. The circulation of illegal arms and weapons has also been strictly restricted, which has blocked many vicious crimes. Within the limits of Blanca City, non-Police Department and non-military personnel are basically prohibited from holding licenses. Guns, even if they are the biological son of White Harbor Security, the review of gun owners is very strict.
San Jose has organized 30 special operations teams, each with 10 people, composed of the most elite police department personnel, known as "special police", also known as special police.
They are located in the core transportation areas of cities and can quickly crack down on gun crimes. If the force is not enough, they can call for heavy force at any time and directly apply for military support.
Cold weapons have become the mainstream of criminal organizations in Blanca City.
Under the inspections of the Police Department, illegal guns and ammunition are regularly destroyed. Most criminal gangs dare to engage in extortion, such as murder and arson. They rarely appear in Blanca City. After all, if something happens, they will be detained for a month. , the loss would be huge.
The entire city can be considered in order.
The Southern Radical Party has taken control of the community, but is not objectionable. The Southern Radical Party has also attracted some elites from the Republican and Socialist parties to join the Southern Radical Party, bringing fresh air to the Southern Radical Party.
Complex and dark buildings are relatively rare in Blanca City. Most of them have been renovated by San Jose, which has brought great convenience to the police department personnel in handling cases. It has become difficult for criminals to hide and it is difficult to house criminals or suspects. , they will undergo social transformation for more than half a year, and if the circumstances are serious, they will stay there for a few years.
As an elite law graduate from the University of Buenos Aires, San Jose made a large number of amendments, replacements, additions, and consultations to the simple laws of Blanca City. He also referred to the laws and regulations of later generations, allowing Blanca to The legal system of Cardano has been improved and is supported by the Supreme Court of Argentina. The current justice is none other than Saint Jose’s mentor, Professor Pukins.
The level of corruption in the Blanca City Hall is also quite rare. Saint Jose established a new independent department, which is not under the jurisdiction of other departments and specializes in combating crimes committed by civil servants and police departments.
The image of the city hall civil servants in Blanca City has improved greatly after crisis and development. The support rate is very high, and many young people are determined to enter the city hall.
With the repeated crackdowns on civil servant crimes, a group of young civil servants joined, bringing many different ideas. Stable salaries higher than the city level and good social status have made Blanca City's civil service level among the first echelons in Argentina. .
The fight against civil servant crimes is also held regularly in San Jose. It is not difficult to see that in the governance of Blanca City, few people want to destroy this beautiful Argentina, which is not like Argentina.
With strict control over the circulation of weapons, it is difficult for modern countries to be defeated by uprisings from ordinary cities.
More turnover comes from the struggle between the army and the army. If the military chiefs believe that there are problems with the civilian government, it is time for them to take action.
After the dissolution of Argentina's last workers' army, the Confederation of Labor, it was doomed to never succeed in this regard.
The uniformity of the La Pampa Defense Force and the strict military discipline have also made many people look at Saint Jose with admiration.
The equipment of the La Pampa Defense Force is also a new type of equipment. Saint Jose adopts the method of imitation + independent research and development, and is no longer limited to the past three axes, that is, the large-scale improvement and mass production of high-quality weapons.
After all, it is not a war period, so there is no need for large-scale production. Argentina is not the Soviet Union, so there is no need to spend too much money on reducing large-scale costs.
New Cohen Heavy Industries rebuilt the Military Industry Research Institute and made a large number of imitation American and Soviet military equipment. Although the power is not as good as the original version, the price is much lower, and one can learn from the imitation, although it cannot reach the world-class level. This requires time and enough training. Military R&D talents.
San Jose has supported a number of firearms and weapon parts processing factories in Blanca City. New Cohen is now only responsible for the final assembly work, which can save a lot of costs and reduce the tediousness of building factories. There is no need to stock too much inventory and risk Greatly reduced.
At the same time, New Cohen Heavy Industries strictly controls the outflow of firearm parts and can only produce them in fixed military industrial parks and implement military controls. Although there are many restrictions, there are still many people trying to join this military-industrial complex. As long as they can retain enough profits, businessmen You can sell your soul to the devil.
The development of universal firearm parts by New Cohen Heavy Industry, the gradual standardization of bullet production, the improvement of production processes, and the signing of raw material supply contracts have made the military factory a profitable business. New Cohen Heavy Industry's arms exports have also begun to recover and flourish. stand up.
High-quality and low-cost Argentine arms have quietly become popular in many poor places, especially in Africa. The African colonial independence movement is intensifying and they are in urgent need of a large number of weapons.
San Jose's international distributors pioneered barter services for them. Minerals, gold, and wood could all be exchanged for arms.
Although these knock-off products are not as powerful as the original ones, the quality is very reliable. After all, they are not handmade workshops. Even if many processing machine tools are only second-hand or third-hand, under modern production methods, the quality is not much different.
No company or city can resist the allure of continued growth, especially in this era of uncertainty.
The arms industry in Blanca City has therefore embarked on a different development path. Cheap labor, rich experience in copycats, and Saint Jose's vision 60 years ahead of time have exerted great power.
A large-scale military industrial zone has quietly emerged in the Alta District. There are already dozens of supporting parts factories in it, responsible for the production of various firearms and artillery parts.
With full firepower, 50,000 firearms can be produced in a day, and an army of 300,000 people can be armed in a month.
The military industrial park is very close to the Blancat Steel Plant. Maya Chemical has specially set up a gunpowder chemical plant, as well as a special plastics factory, Philip Heavy Industries' machine tool factory, and Pajun Copper's copper smelting plant, all of which have greatly saved production costs. .
Under the strict requirements of San Jose, these guns are basically used for export or to equip the La Pampa defense army and special police.
…
Among the bigwigs who came to Blanca City this time were people from the Argentine Presidential Palace, Ministry of Finance, and Customs Administration. They planned to upgrade Blanca City Customs to a first-class port in Argentina, similar to Buenos Aires. Same level as customs.
Although Argentina's military attachés have poor governance capabilities, the civil servants are still capable, but most of them are just professional civil servants with great abilities.
At present, the import and export trade of Blanca City is increasing rapidly, but the tariffs provided are very small. This has formed a very rich tax source, and a large part of the revenue has been taken by the Blanca City Hall.
Not in terms of taxes, but in terms of development benefits, which has created a tariff depression, or gray area, in Argentina.
Argentina's tax reform has been slow, which is exactly proportional to the speed of centralization.
Argentina used to have prosperous trade, but in recent years the scale of imports and exports has continued to decline, and the status of the Customs Department has also continued to decline, with civil servants often being paid in arrears.
The sudden rise of Blanca City in the past year has given people at the General Administration of Customs hope.
The Argentine Customs is affiliated with the Ministry of Finance and is the security monitoring and taxation department of the Argentine government. It is mainly responsible for monitoring and collecting taxes on international incoming goods.
Exports are not managed by the Customs Department, but are managed by other taxation departments of the Ministry of Finance.
Europe and the United States are currently the two most important consumer markets in the world, and Blanca's exports to these two supermarkets continue to grow.
Blanca City has attracted the attention of people from the General Administration of Customs through the construction of a large number of bonded zones, free trade ports, export processing zones, but Blanca City has not established a customs, and it operates under the name of the Ministry of Investment and the Ministry of Finance of Argentina. support.
The Investment Promotion Department of Blanca City is a powerful department that can control many places and create a lot of profits. It originally did not pay much attention to the people of the General Administration of Customs. The General Administration of Customs originally managed the provinces of Buenos Aires and The customs and tax laws of the two nearby provinces also stipulate this.
The economy of many provinces in Argentina is weak, and the customs departments are small, with only a few people. In the eyes of many people, there is no need to establish customs in other places except Buenos Aires, which is a waste.
In Blanca City, it would be impossible to complete such a large-scale customs and tariff work without the cooperation of the City Hall Investment Promotion Department.
San Jose will not miss this opportunity. The development of the investment promotion department in Blanca City is still somewhat deformed.
Therefore, it is necessary to set up a separate investment department. The investment department has a tendency to be too big to lose, and this time is just an opportunity.
In the afternoon, the City Hall Investment Promotion Department team signed a series of agreements with people from the General Administration of Customs, and passed a resolution to build a first-level Blanca City Customs, abolish La Pampa Customs, and Blanca City Customs is responsible for the four coastal cities. Customs administration shall be divided into unified management work.
The Investment Promotion Department allocates some personnel to establish the Customs Department of Blanca City, which is affiliated with the Argentine Customs Administration to carry out work, and the Investment Promotion Department cooperates.
San Jose also considers that many things are in a gray area, so it is more appropriate to take a formalized path.
Blanca's population continues to grow at a rapid pace, adding another 200,000 people in less than three months, half of whom have poured into the Bosca district where the new city hall is located.
Part of the growth in Blanca City comes not only from the immigrant population, but the growth rate of the newborn population has also begun to see a sustained "baby boom". Good future expectations make many people willing to have more children, and Blanca City also Newborns have been stable for a long time as an incentive policy, affecting many people's future decisions.
Many cities and provincial governments have also taken the opportunity of the opening of stock exchanges to learn from their development experience. The prosperity of the West District is amazing, and the city planning is quite good. There are green trees along the boulevards, and lawns and lawns can be seen everywhere. The small park and the Fiat 600 cars driving on the road all make people admire the affluence of Blanca City.
The wide roads, clean municipal environment, numerous shops and Sanchez Department Store, and pleasing greenery are all very attractive.
This represents an efficient city hall. Other than that, there is no other reason. The bosses compare the busiest streets in Buenos Aires with the west side of Blanca City, and even think that the narrow and dark streets are The streets, and the shantytowns that developed were so ironic.
People come to cities in order to survive or pursue wealth, but they become the lowest class of poor, impoverished and even worse than those in the countryside.
For new industries and companies, Blanca City Hall provides full support for houses, people, and goods. Some foreign companies have also seen the sincerity of Blanca City and are willing to move here.
…
It gets dark later in the summer, and the sky is still bright in Blanca City until seven o'clock in the evening.
Saint Jose arranged these real-power bosses in a large luxury manor in Xicheng District. This was the Gay family that was once eliminated by Saint Jose. Later, after being eliminated, it was acquired by the city hall and turned into a guest manor. .
The manor is quite luxurious and has a nice environment.
Covering an area of more than 200 acres, the villa area is very large, with many houses, and the architectural style is French. Saint Jose extended a warm invitation, and most people did not refuse.
The largest villa is tens of thousands of square meters and can accommodate many people.
