This time, the Saint Jose team went to the southern provinces. In addition to the 10,000-ton passenger ship they were traveling on, they were also followed by three 2,000-ton coast guard ships modified by Blanca City Shipyard, responsible for protecting the safety of the Saint Jose team.
This delegation was large in scale, which was a bit different from the trip to Cordoba Province. It not only included members of the large-scale business delegation, but also deputies and heads of municipal departments of 13 municipalities in La Pampa Province, looking for opportunities for cooperation and expansion. .
Sanjesé emphasized at the Viedma meeting that this is an important step in strengthening the overall civilian capacity building of La Pampa Province. Strengthening external communication and becoming the top leader of La Pampa Province require two important considerations. One is to be responsible for the Radical Party, and the other is to be responsible for the Radical Party. The second requirement for being responsible to the people of La Pampa Province is ability, that is, having the ability not only to develop the economy well, but also to promote regional development.
“In the future, the top leaders at the La Pampa city level and the heads of provincial government departments must communicate appropriately throughout Argentina, and the heads of counties and districts and municipal departments must properly communicate and cooperate within the province. La Pampa Pagoda must learn to go abroad and even study abroad.”
In addition to San Jose himself wanting to take a step forward, he also wants to make La Pampa province his talent base.
The La Pampa provincial team went south to Patagonia in order to better win over the officials of the southern province. Whether it is the next election, expansion of power, or even economic development, it will be of great help.
Establish a good trade cooperation relationship with the Province of Cordoba. The Southern Province is poor and weak and needs a leader. These small provinces have small populations. They only need to develop the provincial capital, which can be easily developed. The province of Rio Negro is a good example.
Therefore, invitations from senior officials of Chubut Province and Santa Cruz Province also followed, and the La Pampa Province team continued south to Rosen, a port city with a wide view.
The sea breeze was blowing, and on the sea, Saint Jose stood steadily on the deck. The three coast guard ships around him were quietly guarding the side, giving people a strong sense of security. The hull was painted in gray and hung with Argentina flags. The blue and white flag flutters in the wind.
The Coast Guard of La Pampa Province is affiliated to the La Pampa Defense Forces and is responsible for coastal patrols in La Pampa Province. It is a newly established force sequence in San Jose.
It is said to be a coast guard ship, but it is actually a specially made thick deck, coupled with high-quality alloy steel produced by a special steel factory, and a few cannons, it is a coast guard ship.
The coast guard ships were jointly designed and built by the Alta Military Repair Shipyard and the Sanhai Shipbuilding Blanca Shipyard. These coast guard ships were named Alta, Posca, and Medanos by San Jose. They are Branca ships. The Card City Shipyard made extensive repairs and copied them after surveying and mapping various types of warships in service in the Port of Belgrano.
Each coast guard ship costs up to 2 million U.S. dollars. It is independently designed and developed by the Pampas Warship Research Institute, and a large number of design and manufacturing elements are copied from the Fletcher-class destroyers sold by the United States to Argentina.
It only took Sanhais Shipbuilding and Blanca City Shipbuilding Design Institute three months to complete all surveying, mapping and design work. For Sanhais Shipbuilding, which can build 50,000-ton or even 100,000-ton giant ships, it is not difficult to build a "quasi-warship" It's too high.
The coast guard ship uses an 8,000-horsepower diesel engine produced by Argentina Diesel Company. This diesel engine is used on 10,000-ton giant ships. It was modified and stuffed into this guard ship.
Blanca Shipyard specially built a new dock in the Alta District, very close to the Belgrano military port, and is specialized in the research, development, design and manufacturing of military ships.
The coast guard ship is equipped with five 130mm naval guns and their fire control devices. The power and speed are acceptable, and it has made great contributions in combating smuggling crimes.
The sound of the waves is not loud, and late autumn is cool and belongs to the dry season. There are no storms and tsunamis as changeable as in summer, but it is suitable for sailing.
The coast is also calm, the sun is not strong, and there is no trace of pollution on the blue sea. If you continue sailing south, you can see the famous Falkland Islands and even the Antarctic Ice Sheet.
The southern provinces of Argentina have a small population, but are extremely rich in mineral resources, water conservancy, hydropower, and energy resources, all of which have not been developed on a large scale.
The Colorado River and the Negro River have little navigation value due to the water volume and draft depth of the rivers. However, the Andes Mountains in the upper reaches are rich in water energy resources, and the power generation value is still good.
The Pampas Canal, which is being developed like crazy, is mainly used to divert water for agricultural irrigation, industrial water and drinking. It is not used for shipping. However, if the La Pampa Canal can be dug and widened, and the economy on both sides of the canal develops well, it may not be unable to be used in the future. for shipping.
We must know that the ton-kilometer freight rate of inland waterway shipping is only 1/3 of the railway and 1/7 of the road. The most valuable shipping in Argentina is still on the La Plata River in northern Argentina and the rivers in southern Argentina. The economic development on both sides of the river is not good, and the population is also low. Small, the economic value is not great.
And if you can win over them well, you can unite around La Pampa Province. The status of Viedma and Rosen City is middle-to-lower in Argentina.
Chubut Province is located in the middle of the Patagonian Plateau, bordering the Atlantic Ocean to the east and Chile to the west. It covers an area of 225,000 square kilometers and has a population of only about 300,000, which is 100,000 less than the Rio Negro Province. Its economy is relatively backward.
The provincial capital Rosen City is a port city in southern Argentina. It is located at the mouth of the Chubut River, about 7 kilometers away from the Atlantic Ocean. It has a population of only 50,000 and is a typical small town.
Rosen City was founded in 1865 and became the capital in 1900. It is a market for agricultural and livestock products such as wheat, feed, fruits and cattle, a fishery base, and a canning industry.
Chubut Province is rich in resources, and the Cohen Consortium is also developing well here. The oil city in the south, Commodore Rivadavia City, has a better economic development, with a population of 80,000, and oil exploration is developing very well.
Sanjesé reviewed some data from Chubut Province and also hoped to help Southern Oil fight against Standard Oil of California and gain support from Chubut Province.
He first visited Rosen City, had a cordial conversation with senior officials of La Paz Firm, and signed more than 100 cooperation projects, involving mineral mining, oil mining, oil smelting, chemical raw material production and other industries.
The heads of Southern Petroleum Company and Thunder Mining have reported to Saint Jose many times that there may be super large oil fields in Chubut Province, so Saint Jose is confident in developing the oil fields in Chubut Province and building oil pipelines in advance.
The climate of Rosen is also much drier than that of Blanca City, but the environment and air are very good.
San Jose negotiated with Senior Official Juan Acosta for two days in Rio Gallegos City, signed more than 50 cooperation agreements, and gained the support of Senior Official Acosta. Juan was the man behind Senior Official Acosta. The family has ruled Santa Cruz for more than 40 years.
Saint Jose led several young army leaders to take a look at the Falkland Islands from a distance, and then began to head north back to Blanca City.
The Falklands is not a magical island, and it is not important to Argentina now. Instead, it is another economic problem.
The Argentine military is dissatisfied with the current presidential palace again.
He did not go further south to Tierra del Fuego, nor did he go to the plateau to the west. St. Hesse estimated that it would be similar to the Potassium Triangle, but the weather might be cooler.
This time I went to the Southern Province to seek support, establish various cooperations, and finalize treaties. It would be best to win over more congressmen, and the signing of a common economic treaty would also be a big breakthrough.
There were almost non-stop negotiations and consultations. He was responsible for controlling the general direction. Although there were subordinates responsible for specific business, it was also a huge challenge to Saint Hesse's physical and mental strength. Fortunately, he was able to achieve it without any danger.
For negotiation and cooperation at the same level, the main target this time is still the business group in Blanca City. There are also some business groups in other cities, but the scale is not large, so not many come.
The business gangs in Blanca City hope that through this trip south, they can open up a larger market and obtain the rich resources in the south. In the north, they will cooperate with Buenos Aires, Cordoba, and Rosario. The competition is still relatively difficult, and behind them are troops no less than the La Pampa Defense Force.
La Pampa Province cannot only develop foreign trade, but also expand internal demand. This is its fundamentals.
Moreover, there were many small movements in Blanca City, so he just took the coast guard boat back first.
The coast guard ship was faster, and the remaining business negotiators continued to take the passenger ship north.
…
On the return trip, San Jose also reviewed and approved official duties in the cabin. In 1958, the fiscal surplus of La Pampa Province exceeded 24 million U.S. dollars. Most of the state-owned factories that were put into production began to make money and began to hand over to the finance, so that the provincial government could get more money. More development resources, basically more than ten times the development leverage.
Among them, the consortium company headed by the Cohen Consortium created more than 17 million US dollars in tax revenue, the Blanca municipal state-owned company created more than 12 million US dollars in tax revenue, the provincial state-owned company created more than 10 million US dollars in tax revenue, and turned in profits of 10 million US dollars. The remaining consortiums and The tax revenue generated by small and medium-sized commercial companies reaches 20 million US dollars, the customs profits are 10 million US dollars, and the remaining tax revenue exceeds 5 million US dollars.
This is a figure based on low tax rates. Last year, there were more than 13,000 newly established commercial companies in La Pampa Province, a record high, and 3,000 companies were canceled and closed. The competition has become increasingly fierce, but it has also fostered many businesses. Large factories employing more than 1,000 people are developing rapidly.

The rapid expansion of the population of Blanca City, which has increased to close to 3 million, has also caused shortages in water and electricity resources, traffic congestion, and poor environment. Based on the current level of industrial development, the population of 3 million is already close to the current level of Blanca. The limits of Card City City Hall management.
Nowadays, all kinds of problems are growing crazily in Blanca City every day, and even the prototype of slums has appeared. Dirty and messy areas have appeared in Blanca City, and the population is still influxing in large numbers.
Driven by profits, violent crimes are expanding, and various forms of crime have emerged, such as human trafficking, flour trading, gun smuggling, underground Jiyuan, etc. Some street gangs have evolved into violent gangs, illegally obtaining guns, robbery and murder, and the scale of the pink industry With the development of civilization, problems such as slave trade began to appear in large numbers.
Many foreign workers in Blanca Blanca have become victims in search of better job opportunities, only to be exploited and abused here.
These victims are often forced to work like slaves in factories with no access to personal freedom, limited movement, and sometimes unpaid or low wages.
The slave-trading ships at sea were all deceived and sold like pigs and dogs, which was extremely terrifying.
This time Saint Jose left Blanca City and headed south. He also wanted to indulge these criminal gangs. He also mobilized the defense forces out of their bases to see how these guys performed.
The huge population growth has begun to drag down the city's industrial development. Saint Jose has also been having a headache recently. It is preparing to rectify and evacuate the population of Blanca City, restore public security, develop advanced industries, and focus on the development of the three coastal cities.
There is no need for the city of Blanca to expand to a population of 4 million for the time being, otherwise it will develop into a crime city like Rio de Janeiro in later generations, and there are already signs of this happening.
In addition to the automotive industry, electrical and electronics and medicine will also be sectors that Blanca City focuses on supporting.
In the automobile industry that Saint Jose attaches great importance to, in addition to a few complete vehicle manufacturers, there are already more than 200 auto parts factories. The automobile industry is becoming more and more popular, and the market demand is also very strong.
The automobile industry seemed to be filled with gold. Suddenly, several large group giants in La Pampa Province were involved in building cars.
The automobile industry has a large output scale and a wide industrial chain driving effect. It can drive more than 100 upstream and downstream industries, which generates massive employment demand, promotes the development of local infrastructure, stimulates economic growth, and can also bring a large amount of tax revenue.
Therefore, the La Pampa Provincial Government Office has issued various preferential policies and promulgated a series of relevant supporting regulations for the development of the automobile industry. At the same time, it has also vigorously recruited domestic and foreign automobile companies and supported new automobile factories. It is determined to follow the lead of Cordo Watt and Buenos Aires compete for top spot in the automotive industry.
However, some truly powerful local consortiums have already taken action, choosing to learn from Layton Automobile, sending international inspection teams, and cooperating with foreign automobile companies. Argentina’s local car industry technology is extremely weak. They say they are building cars, but in fact the engine, chassis, and frame All major components are purchased from abroad.
As far as Argentina is concerned, there are currently only three local car factories, Detria Automobile, San Martin Automobile and Leighton Automobile, with some R&D capabilities. San Martin Automobile is backed by Argentina's largest fighter jet factory, and Leighton Automobile is the richest. , Ditria Auto also received a US$15 million credit from three banks in La Pampa for technology research and development.
Detria Automotive still has some strength, and Sanjesé cannot just watch it go bankrupt. He hopes to copy the path of the rise of the Japanese and Korean automobile industries in later generations. The most important thing is to take the path of innovative development and create a national automobile brand in Argentina. , but foreign technology is also essential, and Saint-Jesse wants to make the plate bigger.
Among the three newly established automobile companies in La Pampa Province, they have established cooperation with the British Rover Motors Company and Leley Motors Company, and have reached a preliminary intention to introduce technology and some equipment to produce auto parts and mini cars in La Pampa Province. Applications were submitted to the Automobile Industry Promotion Department of La Pampa Province to establish Rod Automobile Company, Hans Graton Automobile Company and Barut Automobile Company. Among foreign automobile companies, there are also German Audi Automobile Company and French Citroën Automobile Company in Blanca City. Build a car factory.
Rod Auto is the founder of two well-known companies in La Pampa Province - Barut Textile and Garment Group and Nosbel Chemical Industry. Andrepes Rod is already a well-known entrepreneur with annual sales of more than 40 million US dollars. It once reached a cooperation with the Blue Cloud Textile Factory under Saint Jose, and later unanimously followed Saint Jose's path to develop, becoming a medium and large company group involved in more than ten industries such as textiles, trade, steel, machinery, chemicals, papermaking, and furniture.
Rhodes truly rose to prominence when Nosbel Chemicals was listed on the National Stock Exchange of Argentina, raised a large amount of capital, and acquired Garcia Chemicals, a well-known professional in the daily chemical industry. As a result, Nosbel Chemicals became the second largest company after Southern Petroleum. The third largest chemical group of Maya Chemical and Maya Chemical, with annual sales of more than 24 million US dollars, owns various factories such as cosmetics, daily chemical products, and chemical raw materials.
A steel factory in Buenos Aires that was on the verge of bankruptcy turned a profit after a year of hard work. It caught up with the sharp rise in steel prices and saved a lot of money.
Recently, there have been more assassinations against Saint Jose because he has blocked some people's financial opportunities. Now he must be followed by a bodyguard when he goes out.
St. Jose also discovered that the new immigrants not only brought people, but also brought various crimes, and even human trafficking, illegal detention, gun possession and other problems. He had to expand the authority of the police department again and provide escort at any time. His safety.
On May 1, a demonstration of 100,000 people broke out in Buenos Aires, railway workers in Cordoba went on strike, and 50,000 workers in San Martin organized a strike.
Blanca City Police Department announced a week-long curfew in the urban area. The underground of Blanca City quickly became turbulent. The army moved into the city with the intention of cracking down on illegal crimes.
Immediately afterwards, 60,000 people organized a strike in Blanca City, traffic was paralyzed, and factories were paralyzed. Saint Jose was facing severe challenges.
