San Jose took a coast guard ship all the way north, much faster than when going south. There were also many more ships going north and south than in the past few days, ranging from hundreds of thousands of tons of fishing boats to tens of thousands of tons of bulk carriers and ore ships. , are often seen.涶
The journey was uneventful, and soon we arrived in the province of La Pampa. The market value of the Argentine National Exchange was inflated dramatically, market speculation heated up, and there were more and more speculators. The overall market value began to catch up with Buenos Aires, and some powerful companies began to catch up. Companies from other provinces began to set up shop.
At present, the three coastal cities of La Pampa Province have initially established relatively complete education, medical and transportation systems. They have applied to the Argentine Ministry of Higher Education and the La Pampa Provincial Government Office to establish the University of Colorado Port, University of Otto, and University of Bucato respectively. , received support from St. Jose, and the Provincial Department of Finance allocated US$5 million for school construction.
The graduates of the National University of the South in Blanca City have begun to enter the society. Although it is not as outstanding as the University of Buenos Aires, its disciplines focusing on science and engineering will inject into the development of Blanca City. New forces, such as the University of Blanca, the Polytechnic University of La Pampa, and several colleges and universities, recruit a large number of students and can also make some contributions to the development of Blanca City.
According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 50 various research institutes in Blanca City, with scales ranging from hundreds to thousands of people. They combine with universities and business entities to promote scientific research and economic development.
San Jose has repeatedly emphasized the important role of higher education in Blanca City and La Pampa Province, advocating the further expansion of the university system, and is keen to establish a vocational education system that combines colleges and secondary professional vocational schools to provide The industrialization of Blanca City provides highly skilled workers and engineers.
The top ten research institutes in Blanca City are basically affiliated with large industrial groups, such as the San Martin Flight Manufacturing Institute, the Layton Automotive Research Institute, and the New Cohen Military Weapons Research Institute. They employ a large number of engineers and R&D designers.
The entire province of La Pampa has approximately 78,000 registered students in primary education in 58 years, and 16,000 in higher education. The scale is unprecedentedly large, with industrial and business disciplines accounting for the majority. There are already engineers, accountants, financial personnel, doctors, Nurses and teachers are awarded degrees. Southern University is currently the only university that awards degrees. The highest students in other newly established universities are only juniors and have not yet graduated.涶
In the future, there will be various majors such as pilots, agriculturists, and architectural designers. The Provincial Government Department has already begun to divide the new university into a provincial university and a municipal university, so that additional investment and budget funds can be obtained.
Investment in education has always occupied a very important position. The province of La Pampa has transformed from an educational desert to an educational highland. According to San Jose, every metropolitan city will have at least one university, among which the undergraduates with the best economic foundation colleges, and worse ones set up junior colleges.
In terms of medical care, two hospitals have been established in Oto City, extending from the coastal highway. Road construction at the provincial level is also advancing rapidly. La Pampa has established the "La Pampa Provincial Road Construction Act", and the province First-class highways are generally two-way two-lanes, and highways are two-way four-lanes. Blanca City also has an upgraded version of two-way six-lanes.
After the entire province of La Pampa merged with Blanca City, the road construction work has not stopped. Blanca City was the first to build. Subsequently, through a large amount of borrowing and financing, the subsequent metropolitan cities also slowly followed up with transportation construction. Well, the economic development speed is getting faster and faster as a result.
Whether it is the development of basic heavy and chemical industries, or the heavily supported light industry, trade and processing industry, there is a huge demand for labor, and the profits generated make many people take risks, fraud, forced labor, and illegal crimes continue to occur.
It is also common for the city of Blanca itself to be a mixed bag by attracting cheap labor and immigrants. This is an inevitable path of economic development, resulting in environmental pollution and various crimes.
The rapidly growing population is an important way for Saint Jose to expand its economy and is also the result of economic development. It continues to open up overseas markets and attracts an influx of more people.涶
Argentina's population growth rate in the past decade has been comparable to that of Mexico, Latin America's second most populous country, and it is rapidly approaching the Mexican population. New immigrants are an important reason.
But for San Jose, Blanca City has become his largest home base and source of public support, far surpassing San Martin City. Blanca City’s status in Argentina is also approaching that of the second largest city, Corso. Erdoba.
In particular, Blanca City has the role of uniting the Patagonian provinces in southern Argentina. Its status in the presidential palace has also skyrocketed. In addition, it is the second largest port, the second largest trade import and export city, and the second largest economic city. With a population comparable to that of the city of Buenos Aires, its status in Argentina is rising more and more obviously.
In the past, it was a small crime that was regularly solved by personnel from the Blanca City Police Department. But now these criminal gangs have begun to smuggle arms, seriously endangering the development of Blanca City. This is intolerable.
With the rapid expansion of the economy and territory, security problems have become more and more serious. He even instigated strikes and colluded with Buenos Aires and other local military forces in Argentina to engage in infiltration. This was something he could not tolerate.
Especially industries that are important to Argentina's future like the oil industry and automobiles, Southern Petroleum and several developing automobile companies are seriously threatened.
Others, like the steel industry, no one dares to mess with. San Jose controls the three largest steel plants in Argentina. The boss of Hans Steel Plant is also an important supporter of San Jose.涶
Of course, it is impossible for San Jose to give up the oil and automobile industries. These are important industries that can enable a country to rise. When developed, it can easily increase the strength of La Pampa Province by ten or even dozens of times. It contains industries that can help the country rise and revitalize the nation.
In particular, the development of the oil industry can be said to affect the future of Argentina. The five permanent members of the United Nations, as well as the economic powers in Europe and Asia, all have extremely developed oil industries.
In terms of future generations, the superpower United States has a bunch of oil companies, such as Exxon, Mobil, Standard Oil and Non-standard Oil, New China’s Three Barrels of Oil, British Shell and BP, France’s Total Energy, After the nationalization of the natural gas industry by the Russian oil oligarchs, Rosneft, Italy's National Petroleum, Canada's Natural Energy, Spain's Resopur, Indian Petroleum, and Brazilian Petroleum are all extremely powerful.
Not to mention a bunch of oil-producing countries in the Middle East and the Americas, such as Saudi Aramco, Colombian Petroleum, and others, including Indian National Petroleum, Brazilian Petroleum, and Mexican Petroleum, which are the lifeblood of the country.
Saint-Jesse established Southern Petroleum for this reason, to seize the oil market.
Unfortunately, the development of oil in the south is still relatively slow, and it is increasingly difficult to compete with American oil companies.
After all, Southern Petroleum is just a small local company. Although it is developing rapidly, its status is not as good as Argentina's National Petroleum. Its funds are relatively limited. The cost of extraction has risen sharply. The exploration is indeed not done well.涶
Fortunately, Argentina's domestic oil demand is rising rapidly, so the opportunities are still quite good.
…
San Jose did not rush into the city, but went to the port of Medanos to disembark.
Medanos Port is a newly built port in the south of Blanca City, more than 50 kilometers away from Blanca City. It is one of the largest new ports built in Argentina in this century.
Medanos Port has good weather conditions and a natural channel with a water depth of 15 meters. It has a very advantageous geographical location and is connected to the urban area of Blanca by road and railway.
Recently, the Medanos District Hall has adopted a series of investment promotion measures, and the cargo throughput has increased significantly. The commissioning of the Medanos United Steel Plant has also allowed the Medanos District to develop rapidly and brought a large amount of investment. funds, promoting the development of the local economy.
In less than a few years, the population of Medanos District has expanded from 30,000 to 400,000, an increase of almost 10 times. The Medanos Steel Plant alone employs a full 30,000 workers, and some surrounding factories also employ A large number of workers have recently been improving the education system and medical system, building a large number of schools and hospitals.涶
When the Medanos Steel Plant was first built, the economy of the Oita region of Medanos Prefecture was still very backward. Although the area was large, the economy was mainly based on fishing and agriculture. The economic structure was single and lacked the ability to attract people. In economic development It is a backward town.
One-fifth of the construction workers building the steel plant were hired locally, which quickly stimulated the local economy. Then as the steel plant was gradually completed and the population increased, some locals began to learn from the urban area of Blanca and repair it. He became the landlord of the house, while the district government was responsible for improving the local water and electricity construction. The population quickly gathered, and the steel factory also built a large number of accommodation buildings to provide housing for the recruited workers.
Building a factory locally can drive the development of the surrounding economy. Blanca City needs a state-owned steel plant. As an excellent seaport, Medanos Port is very suitable for the development of the port-side steel industry, and the steel layout in the port area is more reasonable, which can Save a lot of costs.
The raw material terminal of Medanos Port is divided into a coal terminal and an iron ore terminal, and a coke oven and sintering process are added between the two raw and fuel terminals, occupying one side of the U-shaped layout.
After the coke oven sintering plant in the middle, there are blast furnaces, converter steel mills, rolling mills, pipe mills, bar mills, large steel mills and warehouses. Finally, the finished product terminals transport the steel products to overseas sales locations. Very efficient.
The development of the Medanos Steel Plant is exemplary, with relatively small investment and huge profits. Although the smelting technology used is not as advanced as Blanca Steel Company, the construction speed is fast and the smelting technology is also very mature. It can be quickly put into the market. The markets in Chile, Peru and even New Zealand and Australia are basically export-oriented.
Medanos Western Steel Trading Company developed its own fleet of export merchant ships and made huge profits. It also followed the example of the La Plata Steel Plant and invested in overseas iron ore mines to reduce the cost of ore purchase and developed rapidly.涶
Medanos Steel Plant is ambitiously preparing to expand its production, which is far more radical than Hans Steel and Blanca Steel. It has learned the essence of debt-financed development in San Jose, signed mortgage agreements with several large banks in Argentina, and introduced
Argentina's domestic steel usage has surged from 1 million tons to 4 million tons in the past two years, and has been hovering at 3-4 million tons. With several large steel plants put into operation, the amount of exported steel has exceeded domestic consumption. This has It's a profitable business.
Although the smelting technology of Medanos Steel Plant is relatively backward, its profit margin is still very high.
Medanos District is the key development core in the south of Blanca City and an important node that takes over the three cities in the south.
In addition to developing the steel industry, Medanos District has also begun to establish a special customs zone for a free trade port to attract foreign factories.
According to the regulations of the special customs zone, goods that cannot be produced in Argentina can be imported duty-free for the purpose of establishing factories and assembling products for sale in the Argentine market. It has attracted 2 British factories and 1 American factory to join.
Waiting for him at the port was Loren Modríguez, the top boss at the District Hall and Medanos United Steel Plant, and his second boss was Eddy Luco, an old classmate from St. Jose.涶
Lolon has been in charge of the Import and Export Trading Company of Blanca City, the Lingang Industrial Zone and the Investment Promotion Department of Blanca City. He is also the deputy mayor of Alta District. He is the main supporter of Saint Jose and an important member of the Southern Department of the Uncompromising Radical Party. .
Eddie has served as the head of the Blanca Second Construction Company and the La Pampa Transportation Construction Promotion Association. He has already performed outstandingly in company management and economic development. He is currently preparing for the establishment of the state-owned Medanos Port Area Management Company and the La Pampa Transportation Construction Promotion Association. Medanos Building Materials Company is also responsible for the investment promotion, education and police department of Medanos Industrial Zone.
Luolong belongs to the younger group under Saint Jose. He is only 30 years old this year. He helped Saint Jose launch the Lingang Industrial Zone development project and has experience in state-owned factory management, port area construction, and urban management.
The Medanos District Hall is now dominated by the Intransigent Radical Party and has more than 500 staff members. Most of them are young people transferred from Blanca Alta and Posca districts, as well as young people selected for this year's civil service examination. people.
"Principal, I hope the city and province can give our district more policies and funds this time so that it can develop faster."
"The development of your district in the past two years is indeed not bad. I will let the province do more research on it."
From the perspective of St. Hesse, the factory planning is reasonable and a lot of hard work has been put into it. He was the person in charge of this factory before. Except for the resources and manpower provided at the beginning, it is not easy to develop it to the present.涶
Already comparable to the development of Otto Port, the driving effect of a large factory is indeed not bad.
"The security in your district is pretty good, and there are no strikes organized."
The urban area of Blanca is already in chaos, but San Jose still has no intention of returning to the city. The small fish and shrimp are not worth mentioning, and the big fish behind it has not yet come out.
…
At the Belgrano military port, the coast guard ship circled around and anchored here. Compared with the tens of thousands of tons of warships, the coast guard ship instantly became miniscule.
Since General Jose stepped down, and his successor Talim Dumont also resigned as Navy Commander the next year, San Jose finally seized the opportunity to reconnect with the people at Belgrano Naval Base, and the new Navy They also began to fall in love with La Pampa Province. The Argentine Ministry of National Defense was too poor and the Navy was also very sad. There was a big benefactor nearby, and they would definitely catch it.
Unlike General José's time when Blanca City took second place, this time La Pampa Province took the absolute lead.涶
As one of the three major naval districts in Argentina, after taking down Belgrano, the strength of the La Pampa Defense Force was vaguely no less than that of Cordoba and the Capital Defense Force.
San Jose reorganized the armaments of the La Pampa Defense Force, strengthened military training, and also used the training of the air force and coastal police force to establish a small navy and a small air force, and its combat effectiveness increased rapidly.
Moreover, St. Hesse is very broad. After the recovery of New Cohen Heavy Industry, the development speed of the military factory has been several times faster. The light and heavy weapons research and development department has expanded rapidly. Some of the original weapons could only imitate foreign weapons, but now they have begun to design and produce independent weapons. Others such as the San Martin Military Defense Group and the Alta Military Shipyard have also developed.
