Except for the academic exchange trip to the United States, Saint Jose rarely leaves Argentina now, and even fewer foreign capitals. He stayed in Rio de Janeiro, the capital of Brazil, for two days.
This is not enough to get a glimpse of the whole picture of Rio de Janeiro, and foreign Falcon Intelligence agencies will not spend too much energy on these. They serve more for the economy, that is, to make more money. This is the case for the American branch, Brazil, and Western Europe. , Japan is the same.
Saint Jose obtained economic and financial intelligence from major economic powers through the Falcon Bureau, controlled these investment banks and trading companies, and earned astonishing wealth.
Based on the historical knowledge in the brain and some forward-looking vision, excess profits can be earned through venture capital investments in potential companies and talents in the future.
The two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, needed to pile up money and invest heavily in various new plans to show that their systems were the most advanced and that their citizens had a superior life. This required trial and error and screening, but Saint Jose himself knew the final answer. This is a shortcut to development, although common things or gadgets in later generations are likely to be obtained by spending hundreds of millions of dollars, such as computer equipment and various semiconductor companies.
At the same time, he also provided basic decision-making ideas to the heads of companies such as Sequoia, Prairie International, Blackstone, and Europe, as well as ideas and routines for creating various financial derivatives to avoid risks and make money along the way. Much faster.
Basically, the success rate of investing in a big project can be more than doubled if San Jose has the approval. If even he, the boss, objects, then the project is basically impossible to succeed.
This is like Edison improving the electric light. The U.S. government may have to try thousands of times to get the correct answer, but St. Hesse can get the final answer directly, and it is almost the same.
Last year, Japan produced 240,000 cars, and West Germany produced 1.26 million cars. However, in the future, Japan's automobile industry will surpass Germany's. Saint-Jesse took advantage of the advantages of the American consortium and used cheap funds to invest in Japanese automobile companies.
Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and Mazda all have American Sequoias. Although the investment is not large, it is within the tolerance of the Japanese chaebol. After all, this is a Wall Street consortium, and Japan is completely occupied by the United States. Its status is higher than that of West Germany. Still low, San Jose invested in Japan not only through Sequoia and Blackstone, but also through other companies.
It was difficult to enter the West German industrial sector, so St. Hesse invested in some companies that were relatively small in scale but whose names would be heard by later generations in order to obtain greater returns.
And these investments are just the tip of the iceberg for St. Hesse. He also invested heavily in Japan, West Germany, the Netherlands, Singapore, the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Brazil, Australia, etc. through a bunch of New York shell companies registered when he was speculating in futures in Chicago. The country's industries and well-known companies are used to cover up the large amount of money sent to Argentina, and at the same time, they can make more money.
Only Argentina’s investment failed, or Argentina’s return rate was too low compared to other countries.
Because these are American financial investment companies, they give people a different feeling. They are naturally superior and powerful. Moreover, the teams assigned to them are all financial elites from Sequoia. With the blessing of funds, they can often achieve their goals. Target.
Wall Street itself is complex, and these companies are very useful in bluffing people.
In addition, when a large company develops to a certain scale, it can also pile up money and people, have all kinds of excellent talents, sufficient funds, and stable development can obtain sufficient profits. This is the advantage of capital, which is a double guarantee.
These foreign funds have provided important external support for the economic development of Blanca City and La Pampa Province.
As for Rio de Janeiro, in addition to having a hotter climate than Blanca, it is also a world-class bustling city with more of a carnival atmosphere than Buenos Aires. By the way, the girls in Rio also wear cooler clothes. Much more bold and unrestrained.
There are many people in Rio, and the environment is clearly demarcated. The sanitation and environmental conditions are worse. The public security is not as good as Buenos Aires, but it is far better than that of later generations. The public security will not completely deteriorate until the 1970s and 1980s. Now here The folk customs of Yue are quite simple.
Brazilians have a saying: "It took God six days to create the world, and he created Rio de Janeiro on the seventh day."
This sentence is enough to show that Rio is Brazil's chosen city, just like Buenos Aires in Argentina.
He also stayed in Montevideo, Uruguay for a few days. He traveled a lot in order to assist the La Plata Steel Plant and Prali International in acquiring iron ore and mining the iron ore in Thirty-three Provinces.
The climate of Montevideo is similar to that of Buenos Aires, but the population is not large and the environment is relatively clean and tidy.
Montevideo's population accounts for almost one-third of Uruguay, and if you include suburban satellite cities, it is close to half. However, in terms of public infrastructure, it appears to be relatively backward, and there are still no slums.
Regardless of whether it is a new city or an old city, almost more than half of the people do not have running water facilities or electricity. They can only rely on water from rivers and ditches for domestic water, so bathing and washing clothes in the river is very common. With the stagnation of economic development, Jobs are also becoming scarce.
These are all external manifestations. San Jose pays more attention to economy and employment. Rio de Janeiro’s economic development is obviously better than Montevideo. It is the economic, industrial and financial center of Brazil, with textiles, clothing, chemistry, medicine, printing and publishing. , metallurgy and other industries occupy an important position in Brazil.
It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and has an excellent harbor. However, the urban planning is relatively average. There are obvious differences between prosperous areas and suburbs, and even backward suburbs. The city center is extremely prosperous, but the suburbs may have problems with electricity and water.
In contrast, the planning of public infrastructure in Blanca City is very reasonable. Whether it is the old city or the new city, the infrastructure is always in a state of oversupply, and there is no shortage of water or electricity at all.
Not only is electricity cheap and abundant, but the scale of water plant construction has always been larger than the population. Every housing building has sufficient tap water supply. The canal is now being built to provide a stable supply of tap water and fresh water in the future.
The large-scale purchase of water pipes has promoted the development of the steel industry, and the advanced planning of thermal power stations has also made Blanca City, like San Martin in the center, the brightest city in Argentina at night.
Thermal power plants are mostly located downwind in the suburbs, where air pollution is not serious and electricity prices are not high. Southern Electric Power has also received large subsidies for this, and industrial electricity prices are also very low.
Cities under the control of the San Jose Group, such as Blanca, San Martin, Oran, Morado and Otto, have advanced infrastructure planning, with relatively wide roads and many green plants and parks. Electricity and running water supplies are adequate.
Such a situation is very rare in Argentina or the whole of South America. Not to mention running water, power generation is a big problem. Originally, Argentina’s coal was imported to the United Kingdom, which was expensive and the supply was artificially controlled. British capitalists controlled the supply through resources to obtain excess profits.
Now Argentina's coal imports from the United Kingdom have been reduced to a minimum. High-quality coal from South Africa, Australia, Indonesia, Colombia, and India are imported to Argentina in large quantities by sea. They are widely used by thermal power plants and steel plants, allowing Argentina's power generation to enter positive growth.
The improvement of these public infrastructures is also one of the advantages in attracting immigrants from within and outside the province as well as immigrants from abroad.
At the end of last year, Argentina conducted another national census. In recent years, through the absorption of immigrants and black households, coupled with natural population growth, Argentina's population has increased by more than 6 million compared with 50 years ago. Last year, Argentina's overall population reached 2,550 Ten thousand.
Argentina's population is much larger than the historical 20 million.
In the past few years, Argentina had expected 1 to 2 million immigrants to leave Argentina and go to the United States or return to Western Europe. As a result, more than half of this group of people have been stabilized and they have chosen not to leave Argentina for the time being.
After all, leaving your motherland for a new country actually requires a lot of courage. In addition to courage, you also need sufficient financial strength.
Even if this country may be the home country of one's ancestors, this means re-obtaining immigrant status, as well as other very troublesome things, such as children's education, housing, finding a job, and funds for immigration.
Many of those who intend to immigrate choose to try their luck in Blanca, San Martin, and La Plata.
And I really found a good job, and now the peso depreciation rate and inflation rate are not so outrageous.
Argentina also attracted more new immigrants, which were scarce in the Bilon era.
Blanca, San Martin, Buenos Aires, Oran, and La Plata were the five cities that received the most new immigrants last year, adding about 300,000 new immigrants.
Driven by a variety of factors, La Pampa is the province with the fastest growing population in Argentina. It currently ranks as the third most populous province in Argentina, with a resident population of more than 1.94 million. This was already at the end of last year.
Second only to the province of Buenos Aires with 8.7 million and the city of Buenos Aires with 4.07 million.
In October 1955, the population of La Pampa Province was 2.79 million. The population of Blanca City, the provincial capital alone, increased from 1.35 million to 1.94 million, not to mention the population growth of the other three coastal cities.
Among the three coastal cities, Otto has a population of 190,000, Bratovich has a population of 110,000, and Port Colorado has a population of 70,000.
Otto City is closest to Blanca City. It was originally a small town with relatively developed agriculture and animal husbandry. Now it provides pigs, grain and various industrial raw materials to Blanca City. After administrative divisions and integration, it has become a medium-sized city.
Otto City is located on the southern shore of Blanca Bay. The coastal highway and railway currently under construction have connected Otto City and Blanca City. It is driven by Blanca City to a large extent. It also has a relatively good deep-water port, which is open all year round. Not frozen.
The port is developing rapidly. Otto Port Area has built 6 production berths and 3 berths above 10,000 tons. Otto South Port Area has 2 10,000-ton production berths. The import and export volume has also begun to increase steadily.
Otto City has developed rapidly through the development of trade and basic processing industries. Some of the more polluting industries in Blanca City have been introduced to Otto City, including thermal power plants, refineries, chemical plants, paper mills, and printing and dyeing plants. wait.
Otto City focuses on the development and introduction of woolen textile industry. Near Otto City is a sheep breeding area. At present, more than 140 woolen textile mills have been introduced and developed, with tens of thousands of people employed. It is developing very fast, mainly for the people of Blanca City. Mainly OEM for well-known foreign brands.
Bratovic City officially changed its name to Brato City in October. Although its development is not as fast as Otto City, it has also introduced many factories, focusing on supporting food processing and export, and developed more than 60 food factories.
The Port of Colorado is also vigorously developing the import and export of ore. Oil from the south and coal from Australia and Colombia will be transferred here.
The development of coastal cities in La Pampa Province is relatively fast. San Jose plans to build a T-shaped development corridor to connect the coastal and inland areas.
…
The Potassium Triangle region is not far from Peru. As a border trade city, Oran City is also supported by the three major industries of tobacco, mining, and import and export trade. It has developed rapidly in the past two or three years. The resident population has quietly exceeded 200,000, and there are almost 80,000 year-round. The people are foreign stowaways or new immigrants, and the economic scale has exceeded that of the provincial capital Salta.
In fact, Paraguay and Bolivia had been supplying seasonal workers to the sugar industry in Tucumán and Salta provinces before the city of Oran was developed, and the Mapuche people of southern Chile traveled across the Andes to harvest in Mendoza. Grapes, sheep shearing in Patagonia.
Now people from these neighboring countries have settled in Argentina, with young marochas (dark-skinned women) working as maids in middle-class families and the men working in factories.
Oran is not their final destination. There is a relative lack of opportunities and jobs. The more prosperous cities of Blanca and San Martin have become their final stops.
The cities of Oran, San Martin and Blanca also attracted tens of thousands of Peruvian and Bolivian immigrants. These immigrants, like the Chinese immigrants in Cordoba, came to neighboring countries mainly due to poverty or lack of opportunities in their own countries. Making a living is a semi-migratory type, and it does not completely cut off ties with the mother country. Although it is a bit troublesome to go back to visit relatives in Argentina, it is not the kind of being thousands of miles away from home.
Some of the more powerful immigrants even traded goods from Argentina to their home country or set up immigration agency companies, thus accumulating their first pot of gold in business.
Blanca City is under the planning of San Jose, and the current city hall has been strictly implementing it. The population has been increasing, and opportunities have been opened up. Because the European market has been opened by San Jose, one of the benefits brought by the depreciation of the Argentine currency is One is that the production cost can be lower than in Europe, and exporting is very profitable.
The largest city in central Argentina has changed hands. The population of San Martin has completely exceeded the 690,000 people in Cordoba. Last year, Cordoba also added 10,000 residents.
According to incomplete statistics, the population of St. Martin City at the end of last year reached 800,000, and is probably close to 900,000. Half of the new population comes from other provinces, and there are also many foreign immigrants.
The attractiveness of Buenos Aires and Cordoba has been greatly reduced because of the deterioration of public security there and, most importantly, the lack of stable jobs. Immigrants are unlikely to participate in strikes and should be more cautious, otherwise they may be deported back to their home countries.
The more tolerant and liberal cities of San Martin and Blanca are even more attractive to them.
St. Martin City now has sufficient reserve land resources. The Maria large hydropower station originally planned has had abundant rainfall in the past two years, and the annual power generation is much higher than expected. Three more generating units have been added, and now it has reached 1.1 100 million kilowatt-hours, 30 million kilowatt-hours more than before. Coupled with the introduction of electricity from other regions, the power supply in St. Martin has been stable and sufficient.
Cheap electricity can attract many factories with high demand for electricity. The city hall has built larger hydropower stations in places with abundant water energy. The large hydropower station in Cordoba Province that generates an annual power of 1.8 billion kilowatt hours is similar to Cordoba. The city’s joint development and construction is sufficient to supply more electricity needs.
The City Hall of San Martín is widening the river from the city of San Martín to Rosario, so that in the future it can be connected to the Paraná River, Argentina’s largest river, through a water canal.
Before the merger of the city of María and the county of San Martin, urban construction had already begun to take shape. After the merger, the power and scope of the city hall were expanded.
As a result, industrialization has accelerated. Now, in addition to urban areas, the development of suburban counties has also been driven by urban areas, and development has been greatly accelerated.
Coupled with the city hall's support for the development of many industries, St. Martin's state-owned assets have built a number of new state-owned factories with market competitive advantages, gaining more tax revenue and profits.
Among the more than ten newly established state-owned factories, the San Martin State Steel Plant, the San Martin State Cotton Textile Factory, the San Martin First Chemical Plant, the San Martin Second Power Plant, and the San Martin Construction Company are all large-scale factory companies in Argentina. , and the technology is relatively advanced. It has introduced a batch of European advanced technologies to open up the central and western markets.
Private factories in San Martin are also developing rapidly, and the textile and clothing industry is also at the forefront of Argentina. It focuses on supporting the development of various light industries, such as food processing, papermaking, clocks, ceramics, sugar, furniture, toys, etc., which is similar to Cordoba. While forming dislocated development, heavy chemical factories such as Maya Chemical, New Cohen Heavy Industries, and Philip Industries also maintained certain competitive advantages.
These vibrant factories are blooming everywhere. The San Martin City Hall, following the example of Blanca City Hall, has also established many professional wholesale markets, allowing various small factories to develop and the economy to be more active.
The population of Cordoba Province has been strongly injected by the city of San Martin. Although it is not as good as the development of La Pampa Province, the census at the end of last year also reached 1.9 million people, which is only tens of thousands less than La Pampa Province.
The Province of Cordoba is located in the heart of Argentina, and it is not bad for any development. The Presidential Palace is now also helped by Cordoba, and the layout of some important industries will be arranged in the Province of Cordoba.
The status of Cordoba Province has always been very important in Argentina, probably equivalent to the Sichuan and Shu Provinces of New China.
After the rise of La Pampa Province, the status of Cordoba Province not only did not decline, but also improved. However, the status of La Pampa Province increased rapidly.
The southern region of Argentina is much more stable, and La Pampa Province has established its own small group to work with surrounding provinces to make the economic pie bigger.
With the help of La Pampa Province, the provinces of Little Uquen and Rio Negro have also found a way to develop. Little Uquen develops mining, and Rio Negro develops agriculture, animal husbandry, and processing industries, providing La Pampa with Providing various resources, Mendoza Province has also become closer to La Pampa Province recently, and Saint Jose has finally won over a more important province.
Further south, the construction of oil pipelines in Chubut Province and the maintenance of shipping routes in St. Bruce Province also benefited a lot.
In particular, oil exploration and production in Chubut and Little Uquen provinces discovered many large oil wells, which allowed the Southern Petroleum Company to grow rapidly and added another money bag to St. Jose.
Leidun Automobile has sold out the Fiat 600 in Latin America. The cheap car market is booming. The prepared one-to-three factory has copied the production line of the Fiat 600 and tripled the production capacity, which is not enough to sell.
The automobile industry chain is much more complex than imagined, but with the support of Fiat Automobile engineers, capacity expansion is still not a problem.
Leidun Automotive Research Institute offers high wages to recruit people from all over the country and even Europe to form a larger automotive technology research and development team and plans to accelerate the launch of its own brand of cars.
The real possibility for Leidun Automobile to break through is in Germany. Leidun Automobile sends one-third of its profits to German Audi Automobile, and uses one-third of the profits to update and expand factories and production equipment. The remaining three Keep one part.
The Blanca City Hall and the Cohen Consortium ensured high annual investments in the heavy chemical industry and equipment manufacturing industry, which made the rise of Thunder Shield Automobile not so difficult.
If we had only invested in the automobile industry in Argentina, it is estimated that Thunder Shield Automobile would have been half-dead like another automobile factory in Argentina, Detria Automobile Factory.
The Ditelia Automobile Factory belongs to the Ditelia family, a rare industrial family in Argentina, and is not the same as other Argentine compradors.
The Detria family once offended Bilon because of their opposition to war doctrine, which led to difficulties with the presidential palace and the import and export authorities.
Now, because many American companies have poured into Argentina, the companies controlled by the Detria family are only moderately competitive.
The Detria family suffered a serious blow, and they even arrogantly asked the Blanca City Hall for help, but Saint Jose didn't pay much attention to him.
After Ditelia's death, his son Ditelia Jr. inherited the company, and the situation improved a lot. He also opened a new factory in Blanca City, and obtained some orders from the Southern Petroleum and Electric Power Company to help Manufactures oil pumps and storage tanks, as well as some power generation equipment.
After Bilon went into exile in 1954, most workers in Argentina became "orphans". No one provided them with shelter and voice. Argentine workers lost the benefits gained under the Bilon regime.
Workers in state-owned factories in Buenos Aires began to take up strikes again, which also affected small and medium-sized factories.
Blanca has attracted many small factories to relocate here because of its political and economic stability and its cheap port.
…
The second fire for Saint Jose's appointment as a new high-ranking official was his own people - the La Pampa Defense Force.
This is the second step in establishing a standardized and authoritative provincial government office.
After all, the army is still too expensive, even the cheapest army, and the economic development of La Pampa Province is short of people.
Because of the mixed personnel, the La Pampa Defense Force has a very average reputation and is corrupt.
The team needs to be regulated and remove problematic people.
Establishing a good military image will help realize the authority of the provincial government department.
The more than 20,000 people in the three divisions have completely exceeded actual development needs. There are no security problems, and there are no problems such as a coup in the presidential palace in the short term.
Saint Jose's plan is not a simple disarmament, but in the name of spring training of the defense force. In December, spring training began to conduct military training and actual combat exercises.
Housekeeping, physical training, armed cross-country, live-fire shooting, and political ideology soon became a group of soldiers who couldn't stand it, and all of these were included in the assessment.
Those in charge of training are all real elite instructors. They may not be good at fighting, but they are good at training.
After some training, although many soldiers are still far from being outstanding, they are at least qualified soldiers, and those who are dawdling are beginning to think about leaving.
After the training, it was followed by actual combat exercises.
In addition to military honors, a large number of military scholarships are also established to stimulate soldiers' enthusiasm and enthusiasm for training.
Through this large-scale military training, a group of outstanding elite soldiers were selected.
Through actual military exercises, a group of people with command capabilities were screened out.
Then there is the formation of an elite infantry division.
The second step is to professionally select personnel across the army again, by recruiting soldiers and training them.
An artillery battalion was formed, a tank battalion was formed, a special forces unit was formed, and then an air force brigade was formed. A group of soldiers and officers who were less physically capable but had professional talents were screened out.
In this way, a relatively good division was gradually developed, but it was not yet a division, only two regiments. With such combat power, it could even defeat the original three regiments.
The combat effectiveness of the remaining officers and soldiers who have been eliminated has also formed a combat gradient with the new elite divisions and professional soldiers. Some of them will still be there, and they will be disrupted again, but there will definitely not be many such people.
After almost four months of publicity and preparation, most people in the La Pampa Defense Force, which has been established for a year and a half, understood what San Jose meant, which was real disarmament.
On December 1, the La Pampa Defense Forces reduced its military strength by 2 regiments and a military establishment of 6,000 people. The entire third division of the Defense Forces was disbanded and canceled and transferred to other jobs on the spot, without causing much fluctuation.
On December 2, the La Pampa Provincial Office organized a job fair for 10,000 people and a military college admissions committee, and contacted 50 large and medium-sized factories to solve employment problems for veterans. Those who are willing to study in universities will also organize special Entrance examination.
Although the best university for admission is Blanca Municipal College, the difficulty is indeed much lower than the normal exam.
The Polytechnic of Blanca City is currently the largest university in Blanca City, except for the National University of the South. Other newly established universities do not have such a large enrollment scale.
Higher education in Blanca City is still in its slow start. There are likely to be 15 universities opening next year, many of which are newly established municipal universities.
The Blanca City Council has intended to upgrade the Blanca Polytechnic to Blanca College, which will be on the same level as the upcoming La Pampa Polytechnic.
In addition to job fairs and college entrance exams, the La Pampa Provincial State-owned Assets Commission newly established the La Pampa Provincial Construction Company to specifically contract the construction of canal projects and recruit 1,000 people on the spot. The wages are not bad.
The newly established La Pampa Engineering Transportation Company has also recruited 300 freight engineering drivers, and the more powerful ones have already gone to drive tanks.
Except for some individual cases, most veterans get a new job quickly after receiving a retirement payment.
On December 22, the second disarmament was carried out, and another 8,000 people were laid off. The second division was disbanded and canceled, and three more regiments were laid off.
This time the veterans have also been well accommodated. Blanca City can now absorb any kind of labor force. Steel, construction, chemical industry, machinery, automobiles, and shipbuilding are all big employers, not to mention these strong laborers who have been trained.
In just one month, San Jose has carried out two disarmament operations. The La Pampa Defense Force has only one division, three regiments, and 9,600 people left. The military command structure has also been streamlined and optimized, and its combat effectiveness has been greatly improved. .
There is absolutely nothing special about the disarmament this time. Saint Jose has always been pragmatic about these matters and doesn't say much, just deal with them to the end.
Opposing voices are suppressed directly, and no one can be more ruthless than Saint Jose.
Using both kindness and power, he formed an elite division, confiscated guns, dispersed the teams, dealt with them in batches, and distributed money to the work. It was all done in one go and smoothly.
The disarmament of St. Hesse also went through batches of screening in the early stage. It was not that all regiments and companies were packed away, but the essence was taken away from the dross. Those who had organizational skills, those who could make trouble, and those with development potential , young ones, all stayed by him.
Moreover, during the training and job skills training, we had conversations in batches. In fact, not many people wanted to develop in the army. It was more for profit. There were also many people who applied for discharge in the first batch.
This time the streamlining of the defense force went quite smoothly, with the station change and a number of high-quality labor forces provided to the city of Blanca. Some young veterans also entered universities for further studies.
This disarmament once again allowed some people in La Pampa Province to see the methods of Saint Jose, and the public support rate increased a lot again.
The resistance to reforming local city halls has also been reduced a lot, and centralization of power has become easier.
Saint-Jesse took advantage of the situation and further strengthened its control over local municipalities and accelerated the reform process of municipalities.
In addition to disarmament and military professionalization work, San Jose has increased investment in the La Pampa Military Academy, significantly increased the school budget, and trained professional officers belonging to the La Pampa Defense Force.
Seven departments including artillery, infantry, armor, aviation, electronics... have all been established, and enrollment will be expanded next year.
