June 2, afternoon,
Office of the Senior Official of the Provincial Department of La Pampa,
The busiest morning of the week has passed. Today, Saint Jose has put on thicker clothes. He is lying on a chair thinking about something. Yesterday he went to play with his daughter Britney for a day. This is the first time he has spent time with his family. As we celebrate Children's Day, we have to say that even with Saint Jose's high energy, it seems a bit difficult to deal with children.
Considering safety issues, the father and daughter just had fun in a large manor on the outskirts of Boska District.
This still made Saint Jose look a little tired. Her daughter hadn't seen him as an old father for a long time, and she had been pestering him all day long. Last night, her younger son made him wake up most of the night, crying loudly.
Nowadays, Blanca City is not only crowded in the urban area, but also in the suburbs. Several large islands in Blanca Bay have also been developed into holiday tourist attractions. San Jose rarely goes fishing there anymore.
The Freeport New District and Lingang Industrial Zone are even more crowded. There are a lot of small factories and companies here, and commercial trade is developed, making it very prosperous. Compared with the large factories, the Alta District is more suitable for working, and there are also high-end and elegant east-west main urban areas. It is easier to attract people to come here to eat, drink and have fun.
The entertainment projects here are more abundant, including shopping stores, football fields, theaters, bars, cinemas, and various small restaurants. The number and scale of entertainment venues are much larger than those on Baiguang Avenue, and the most important thing is that the consumption here is not that high, quite It is friendly to the people, the public security conditions are now good, and the business is regulated, attracting a large number of people who relax after get off work.
No matter in any era, most of the time, work is just to support the family. The time after work is the time that truly belongs to you. That is the real life, which makes people feel that they are still alive.
Working time in a factory is boring and numb, and you will feel very dull after staying there for a long time. However, entertainment after get off work allows people to be themselves.
This is the most splendid place in the entire city of Blanca. Many couples date, get married, and have children here, contributing a large number of new people to Argentina.
The severe winter is coming, and some winter material support work is also being carried out in La Pampa Province. This year's winter is expected to be colder than last year, and is likely to reach the level of the Patagonian Plateau. This makes Blanca City and surrounding areas Supplies to keep out the cold seem insufficient.
For example, quilts and briquettes, which were not very popular last year, Saint-Jesse asked several steel plants to reduce steel production in winter, and transferred the coal reserves for ironmaking to the market to ease the supply, and also transferred coal from Lanyun Textile Group. Cotton warehouse supplies in the north have increased power generation, and some electric heating equipment and hot water bottles produced by Maya Chemical have become in short supply.
The weather has become more and more abnormal in recent years. Saint Jose exhaled softly, stood up, stretched, and stood in front of the window to look at the scenery.
Production work is difficult to carry out this winter, more energy is needed, and the demand for various raw materials is also huge.
Although San Jose had planned ahead a few years ago, external resources could not keep up with the demand. He underestimated people's desire for work, especially the wave of unemployed people in Buenos Aires, who were unable to solve the problem of livelihood when the strike The problem is that the family cannot even afford three basic meals, and with more and more bad news, many people have to start looking for jobs to support their families.
After a while, someone knocked on the door and pushed in gently.
A tall, good-looking young girl with long black hair and a floral dress walked in. This was Cecilia Sanchez, the secretary of San Jose, who was responsible for dealing with the State Assets Commission of La Pampa.
"Your Excellency, this is the report sent by the La Pampa Grain Reserve Company, this one is the construction stoppage report of the Medanos Steel Plant, and this one is the report of the Blanca Meat Complex."
"Well, you can put it here."
San Jose did not directly contact the specific departments below. A joint department meeting had been held in the morning, and some urgent reports and documents would be submitted through the secretary to the departments in charge and to him, the boss.
His four senior official councils all have departments responsible for management, in charge of various institutional departments, but all important documents will be sent to him, and he will give specific approval. It is estimated that he is the most powerful provincial leader in Argentina. .
Saint Jose also has a secretary's office, which has 12 confidential secretaries who are responsible for connecting various departments. This is one of the ways Saint Jose manages La Pampa.
Of course, most of the time it is the department head who reports on important work in person.
Cecilia was selected through the first civil service examination organized by La Pampa Province last year.
"After the new year's acquisitions, La Pampa Province's grain reserves have reached 9.3 million tons, which is enough to feed the whole of Argentina for two years, or even longer. Argentines prefer to eat meat. Last year, Argentina's population was only 28 million, and consumption The amount of grain is about 9.5 million tons."
San Jose has expanded food production through the Agricultural Association and the Ministry of Agriculture of La Pampa, since Future Agriculture, and several grain reserve companies. The surplus grain is increasing, causing many subordinates to have doubts.
Even raising pigs can raise millions of pigs.
Last year, the provinces of La Pampa, Rio de Janeiro, Chubut, and the northern provinces expanded the cultivation of wheat and rice. The planting area more than doubled. With the support of irrigation systems, chemical fertilizers, and mechanization, grain production increased. The harvest tripled and the harvest was so great that the grain storage company's grain depots were filled to capacity and more grain depots had to be built.
San Jose is estimated to have one of the largest grain reserves in the world this year, and there are even more than 2 million tons of grain that have not been stored in the warehouse. This is a bit different from countries in the northern hemisphere. This year, Argentina has a bumper harvest, and every rainfall is timely.
He reserves grain because he wants to use this batch of grain to exchange for good things, such as some Argentina's scarce heavy industrial equipment and technology, military industrial equipment, mining technology, etc. In terms of industrialization, Argentina lacks everything. Although steel production is rising year by year, many equipment Unable to import, Saint-Jesse can only hope to get some good things in exchange this time.
Argentina’s rough industrial system needs to be filled with various things.
These are planned in advance. Saint Jose will only sell these grains at normal market prices, and it can also improve relations and gain some friendship from the potential superpower in the future. It is very cost-effective.
After a while, Cecilia came in and took away the approval from the table.
"Export the excess grain reserves to some warehouses in Western Australia in advance. This can relieve the pressure and the mobilization speed will be much faster."
Prairie's fleet already has many large cargo ships, transporting hundreds of thousands of tons a month, and half of its reserves can be emptied in half a year. In Western Australia, he has already built a lot of grain depots in advance. He has acquired some grain merchants in Nanyang, which can be Grain is stored in Nanyang.
The first thing any natural leader must learn is to manage his emotions and not let others see his leverage easily.
Saint Jesé always smiles in front of others and is not angry. It is difficult for people to guess what he is thinking. For example, in this presidential election, he actually went out in person to let the people choose Frandisi, which is extremely rare in Argentina.
The chief executive of a province personally canvassed votes, but this also made Frandisi value Saint Jose more. If he hadn't been too young, he really had the idea to let Saint Jose lead Argentina's economic reform and serve as the minister of economics in the cabinet, or Make him governor of Argentina's central bank.
San Jose has deep relationships with many banks and consortiums, and has led the establishment of many important banks, such as Barron's Bank, Blanca Commercial Bank, La Pampa Industrial Bank, La Pampa Commercial Bank, etc., and has published some Crucial remarks.
San Jose probably knew that economic reform would be difficult to succeed, because Frandisi was fully aligned with the United States and planned to use American loans to develop the economy, so he had no idea of entering the new cabinet, which was better than Hu's. Ann Bilon is larger, which also expands the power of the presidential palace accordingly.
The Ministry of National Defense is still the territory where the military influences the presidential palace, and currently only General Tomps Jr. is left in St. Jose.
Somewhat similar to Saint Jose, Frandisi also values oil and steel, but lacks long-term planning and necessary development measures. Simple support and loans are meaningless and may even lead to more foreign debt.
Because Argentine iron ore and coal are extremely rare, these are the two most important raw materials for the development of the steel industry. The steel industries of South Korea and Japan can develop because they can easily use their relationships with the United States to obtain more resources.
San Jose did not simply build a steel plant, but also opened up the upstream and downstream supply chains and established a complete steel industry system.
He established good relations with European steel companies, opened up the logistics chain, established multiple fleets, and outsourced several fleets. For example, several large fleets in the Xiangjiang area transported iron ore and coal to St. Jose. In addition to Prali International's own fleet, several new fleets have also begun to enter the transportation sequence.
In the upstream mining chain, he not only sent purchase orders to India, Africa, Southeast Asia and other places, but also made good friends with local dignitaries, purchased more minerals from multiple points, and established a stable supply system.
He also personally acquired mines in Australia, South Africa, Colombia, Bolivia, and Brazil, established local mining companies or conducted joint mining to obtain more advantageous raw material prices.
In addition to mines, Saint-Jesse has also repeatedly acquired some undeveloped land that may contain mineral deposits. There are more than 20 foreign mining companies of various sizes, mainly distributed in neighboring countries and Western Australia.
This is because neighboring countries are relatively controllable. Although Uruguay and Paraguay have also entered the era of military government, it is very recent and there is no problem settling accounts after the fall. Bolivia also looks at Argentina more. As long as it is legal and compliant, pays taxes regularly, and employs more than 80% of locals, That is completely a local company.
Bolivia now has a relatively good relationship with the Potassium Triangle region, and trade is also very close. Bolivia needs cheap industrial products and low-interest loans imported from Argentina to develop its economy, and Argentina needs Bolivia's various rich mineral deposits, mainly large iron ores.
Western Australia is also a relatively safe place and is not easily hacked.
This allows St. Hesse's steel plants to produce steel at lower costs, with stable quality and higher profits.
Most importantly, this does not turn building steel plants into a debt-ridden business.
A leader who does not consider the overall situation is not a good leader.
Saint-Jesse had already begun planning various production raw materials before building the steel plant. This allowed the competitiveness of his steel plant to make up for many technical deficiencies and gain time for development. The reduction in costs made processing supplied materials profitable and feasible. picture.
This is some small experience Saint-Jesse has gained from the development of the steel industry in Japan and South Korea. In the absence of raw materials, it uses port-type steel, which can be fast in and out, and shipping is getting cheaper and cheaper.
…
Frandisi's coming to power changed the existing political situation in Argentina, and the military's return to power also brought Frandisi's prestige to its peak.
The radical party behind it became less important.
However, in Argentina’s political ecology, political parties are indeed not that important in it. The super presidential system gives the Argentine president supreme power, and the military does not look down on these various political parties that are not on the stage.
There are now two radical civic unions in Argentina, the Popular Radical Civic Union led by Barvin and the Intransigent Radical Civic Union of Frandisi, which split last year.
Some of the struggles within the Radical Civic Union had become public at the end of the previous year, and by last year had reached the point of being irreconcilable.
At that time, the interior was divided into two major factions. The two opponents each attracted a large number of people and formed two cores. They eventually broke away completely. However, it was obvious that Frandisi's image was more positive, and his image among Argentine voters was more positive. He was a decent, scholar-type civil servant, and in the end the military also chose him.
Internal divisions and struggles among capitalist political parties are the norm. If they are truly united, the military will not dare to hand over power, and both real and fake performances must be adequate.
Whether it was external reasons from the military or internal reasons from the Radical Party, the split was irreversible.
As one of the largest third factions of the Radical Party, St. Jose naturally followed Frandisi. In St. Jose's view, this was not political speculation. Balvin's own ability and luck were worse than Frandisi's. A lot, not to mention that Saint Jose had already started to have some relationship with Frandisi when he was in Buenos Aires. This should be the case both emotionally and logically.
Saint Jesé served as the head of the new La Pampa Provincial Union of Radical Citizens for Intransigence, and 95% of the local Radical Party members were transferred to Radical Citizens for Intransigence on the spot, without any rules at all.
Maybe when the time is right, Saint-Jesse will also establish a Southern Radical Citizens Alliance. This is a means to quickly expand his influence. Directly establishing a new political party is not as good as splitting others, but this also has many disadvantages.
Saint-Jesse was not too surprised by the split within the Radical Party last year, and even took it for granted.
When there are no external threats, the biggest crisis is often internal. Without the pressure to face the Justice Party, the Radical Party expanded crazily and became the largest political party in Argentina. The distribution is uneven and there are many mountains. Not only Frandisi wants to be the leader of Argentina President, his name will go down in history.
Everyone has ambitions, and Balwin is relatively old, so he might as well take advantage of the situation and make a move. The opportunities will be even rarer in the future.
In order to win over Saint Jose, Balvin even promised Saint Jose to serve as prime minister or minister of finance, both of whom were powerful men, but Saint Jose rejected it.
Now his base is not in Buenos Aires, and even being a vice president is not a good position.
The weather was good in May. During this election, San Jose publicly spoke out in support of Frandisi. A large number of voters in La Pampa voted for the Intransigent Radical Party, which made Frandisi's vote easy. It beat Balvin, but the province of La Pampa was not the largest vote bank. Frandisi won the province of Buenos Aires and the city of Buenos Aires, as well as the provinces of Cordoba and When he was in Santa Fe Province, he was already ready to become president.
The military was relatively satisfied with Frandisi, but the impact of Frandisi's secret agreement with Standard Oil to allow the company to develop Argentina's oil was greater than anyone imagined.
…
In June, San Jose used administrative power to establish 11 large laboratories and research institutes, involving metals, medicine, biology, electronics, energy, military weapons, and nuclear physics. It makes annual financial allocations to enrich La Pampa Province. scientific research power.
Some of these laboratories are affiliated with the National University of the South, some with colleges and academic institutions such as La Pampa Polytechnic, Blanca Academy of Sciences, some are independently invested, and some are affiliated with large companies such as Southern Electricity and Southern Petroleum.
Each laboratory is not too big, with staff ranging from less than a hundred to over a thousand, and a large number of young scientific research geniuses are employed to conduct various studies.
San Jose has discovered a lot of scientific research geniuses. In fact, Argentina does not lack all kinds of geniuses, but it lacks the soil to cultivate geniuses. As long as there is money, the universities in Blanca City can dig out enough talents. If Argentina does not have them, go to Chile. It’s okay if Chile doesn’t have enough of Bolivia, and even Brazil has it.
In the Saiyan Industrial Laboratory, Saint Jose saw some test weapons with world-leading quality, some light weapons and heavy weapons, most of which had only experimental value and no industrial production value.
Saiyan Industrial Laboratory is jointly established by Saiyan United Industrial Company under the La Pampa State Assets Commission and New Cohen Heavy Industry, La Pampa Military Academy, La Pampa Polytechnic Institute, and San Martin Aircraft Factory. It is mainly responsible for following the world's first-class It is a military weapons laboratory established mainly for light and heavy weapons. The experimental objects include armored vehicles, tanks, rifles, rocket launchers, special military materials, fighter jets and other light and heavy weapons. It is the highest-standard weapons laboratory in La Pampa Province.
The San Martin Aircraft Research Institute, a subsidiary of Saiyan Laboratory, has resources to research Arrow 4 fighter jets, small aviation aircraft and helicopters. The San Martin Aircraft Factory has also received a large number of military orders from the La Pampa Defense Force.
A country's national defense capabilities not only depend on the number of weapons it possesses, but also depend largely on the country's military scientific research talents. These talents enable the country's various facilities and equipment to be constantly updated and made stronger. The sub-laboratory is on the surface, and there is also a more powerful southern physics laboratory, which is responsible for researching nuclear weapons and has made breakthrough progress.
The La Pampa Military Academy is not only for cultivating the officers needed by Saint Jose, but also for various weapons design talents. The Department of Technology and Industry is one of the most popular departments to apply for at the Military Academy.
San Jose appears to be extremely tolerant when it comes to the establishment of universities, directly amending the constitution of La Pampa Province. Basically, the construction land of public universities starts from 1,000 acres. For example, the land of La Pampa Polytechnic is about 3,500 acres, which is the college's land area. Sufficient space has been reserved for development, and the approval process for some private universities is also very relaxed. The land for construction is basically more than 500 acres, and it is free of charge, and there are various financial subsidies for construction.
The number of universities in Blanca City is increasing every year, and the quality and development are not bad. Many public universities are directly run by the provincial government office or the city hall.
…
The same is true. Argentina actually lacks the soil to cultivate outstanding leaders. There is no way to change this. The competition is not intense enough, or it lacks a little luck. Except for the United States, which is extremely lucky, it is difficult to say that there are countries that really rely on immigration. To become a truly powerful country, Brazil cannot, Mexico cannot, and Argentina cannot. Mexico is too far away from God and the United States is too close. Brazil is the closest to success. However, a common problem in tropical countries, coupled with deindustrialization, is the lack of consistency. political parties a series of factors.
But Brazil and Mexico are not the only ones who have fallen on the road to great powers, so this itself is a road full of thorns.
La Pampa's economic development continues to move forward rapidly, absorbing more people. San Jose has not only established large companies, but also cultivated more small companies to expand the market.
Taking advantage of its relationship with the President of Bolivia and its investment commitment to help build three large factories, Blanca United Steel easily won the mining rights to a very large iron mine in Bolivia, solving the raw material supply problem for the Argentine steel industry.
Iron ore is an important raw material for the steel industry, and coal is not that scarce. However, Saint-Jesse has used its American, French, and British companies to acquire 11 coal mines in Australia, South Africa, Colombia, Indonesia, and Mexico. rights, and continues to carry out large-scale acquisitions.
This is much cheaper than simply importing. Thunder Mining has also established security companies abroad, which can basically ensure safety, and has given a large amount of political donations to administrative officials.
As long as there is no real war, these light and heavy weapons are enough to ensure the safety of the mines. After all, justice, fairness, and communication only exist under the muzzle of the gun. Saint Jose needs weapons to protect the safety of his property, especially some mines in Africa.
The two security companies previously established in Saint Jose began to use their remaining energy to select some local young people to join the security companies to protect the safety of the mines.
In addition to Mexico and South Africa, Indonesia and Australia also have a very good environment, and Australia is not a completely centralized country. The autonomy of each state is very high, giving St. Hesse room to play. Western Australia is still very poor and needs a lot of employment.
Thunder Mining has established a local mining company, pays taxes legally, provides employment, and is very popular.
