blanca city,
Barron's Financial Building,
47th floor,
The Pampas Intelligence Unit and the Falcon Service, St. Jose's private intelligence service, are working together.
This large-scale strike is obviously unusual. Even the Universidad Nacional Sud, Universidad Blanca and several junior colleges have also participated. The church has not been idle either, and even major newspapers have been stirring up public opinion.
Saint Jose's intention was to let them cause trouble, otherwise the people behind them would not be caught.
The Barron Bank Tower is one of the tallest commercial buildings in Blanca City, with a height of 50 floors.
For San Jose, who is accustomed to seeing dozens of floors of residential buildings in later generations, this building is not as good as a residential building, but for the entire city of Blanca, this is simply a symbol of Blanca's economic development.
Just as factories everywhere can create industrial development, the 28-story National Securities Building of Argentina, the 22-story Southern Petroleum Building, the 32-story Blanca Financial Building, and the 36-story Blanca Commercial Bank Building are symbols of development, while the West District It is still the commercial and economic center of Blanca City and is the most prosperous place in Blanca City.
After the West District City Hall was relocated to the Bosca District, the economy did not decline, but developed even faster. A large number of financial institutions such as Barron's Bank settled in. Here, Argentina's first-level wages can be issued, and even hundreds of thousands or more can be issued every month. Super workers who earn millions of pesos are far more relaxed and upscale than those hard-working mom-and-pop shops.
High-end talents from Buenos Aires are also attracted here. The relatively easy listing conditions allow some factories to obtain financing and expand their scale, which also prospers the stock market.
As the wealth storm spreads, financial bubbles such as stock trading, which make money, begin to spread. Although there are risks, many qualified companies are indeed able to purchase new equipment and increase production capacity.
Argentina’s domestic market is small, but the international market is huge, so Blanca City’s economy can fully accommodate another tenfold expansion.
Although the West District does not have as many factories as other industrial areas, it has created astonishing wealth and concentrated a group of the richest people in Argentina. Whenever the bell of the National Stock Exchange rings, a large amount of wealth will inevitably be created.
More and more foreign-funded companies are setting up regional or national headquarters here.
The 47th floor of the Barron's Bank Building is the temporary headquarters of the Falcon Bureau, and the 46th floor is a branch of the Pampas Intelligence Group.
Two intelligence services are collecting intelligence on various strikes and crimes in the municipality of Blanca and the province of La Pampa, observing various data and providing them to the Blanca Police Department.
With a large number of power plants connected to the grid for power generation, the night sky of the entire Blanca City is brightly lit, and the lights in various districts are as bright as daytime. The white light avenue is no longer so rare. Various song and dance groups and movie theaters appear in crowded places. Sander The business hours of Sri Lanka Department Store have been extended to 24:00, which has promoted nightlife consumption in the entire region.
Factory workers also need to vent their enthusiasm for real life and death. Night football fields, tango dances, barbecue restaurants, and bar streets are filled with large crowds every night.
The Blanca Police Department is now one of the largest police departments in Argentina, surpassing the Buenos Aires Police Department in size.
The Blanca Police Department now has nearly 11,000 police officers and 1,800 civilian personnel, with an area of 11,934 square kilometers and a population of more than 4 million, making it one of the largest law enforcement agencies in Argentina.
The Police Department is equipped with advanced equipment, including light and heavy weapons, cars, motorcycles, and coast guard boats. The Police Department recruits a large number of outstanding veterans and participates in the official civil service examination. Their combat effectiveness and overall quality are quite good.
The La Pampa Defense Force and the Maritime Police of the Police Department formed the Maritime Defense Force, which is another force that already has a quasi-navy meaning, and a large number of personnel serve concurrently for the Belgrano Navy.
Because the floating population in Blanca City is quite large, and the number of new immigrants is huge, management is very complicated. In addition, the police department does not have enough manpower, so the pressure is very great. Foreign aid is often needed, and investigation teams with excellent intelligence acquisition capabilities and The Falcon Bureau is responsible for intelligence assistance and mobilizes defense forces to maintain order when necessary.
The Blanca Police Department headquarters is staffed with a chief director and five deputy directors all year round. The chief director of the Police Department is often concurrently served by the deputy mayor of Blanca City. He is nominated by the Blanca City Hall and the senior official San Jose is personally responsible for the appointment. Very high status.
In general, the security situation in Blanca City is getting worse and worse, which is closely related to the influx of people. Despite a large number of evacuation efforts, the three coastal cities have an overflow population of nearly 600,000, which is almost the same as the actual population. For the city of Blanca, 4 million is obviously not enough.
However, Saint Jose does not want to restrict the inflow of people. In addition to increasing construction investment in the three cities, it is important to improve public security, develop suburbs, and continue to develop industry.
Under the leadership of the new police chief Carlos Aleman, the Police Department began to develop towards professionalism. The Police Department began to emphasize the importance of training, and at the same time established a Radical Party leadership group to improve military training and fight crime.
Carlos succeeded Barton Heston, the former director of the Police Department. Barton Heston was promoted to the head of the La Pampa Police Department, which can better coordinate the cooperation between the defense forces and the police department.
Carlos once served as the commander of the Second Regiment of the La Pampa Defense Force. He has excellent leadership skills. He graduated from the Argentine National Military Academy. He is also an excellent technical civil servant and can well implement the will of Saint Jose.
This strike is mainly concentrated in some large state-owned factories and large factories owned by the Cohen Consortium. It is obviously organized. It is also a bit difficult for Saint Hesse to handle and it is not easy to resolve it.
If it is not done well, a crisis of confidence may easily arise, but it must be dealt with. More importantly, the economic and industrial development of the entire La Pampa Province has reached a critical stage. If it is interrupted, development opportunities will be missed.

After Barron's Bank surpassed the Bank of Galicia, it became one of the most profitable banks in Argentina. It obtained a large number of financial licenses and obtained licenses for all financial transactions in securities, insurance, and foreign exchange.
And the scale expanded rapidly, establishing branches in Asuncion, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Montevideo, Santiago, London, Paris, Santa Cruz, Lima, Mexico City, Sydney and other cities, becoming an international bank. .
Barron's Bank initially established foreign branches mainly to support the import and export business of La Pampa Province and to provide services to companies under the Barron's consortium. With the support of a large number of Latin American immigrants, the scale expanded.
Barron's Bank is engaged in issuing personal consumption loans to various commercial organizations, handling domestic and foreign currency settlements in Argentina, issuing various financial bonds, agency issuance, agency redemption, underwriting of city hall, provincial government and Argentine national bonds, buying and selling, and agency buying and selling of foreign exchange. Acting as an agent to collect and pay various transactions.
In recent years, the manufacturing industry in La Pampa Province has been advancing rapidly. On the one hand, the manufacturing industry can accommodate more jobs, and on the other hand, the manufacturing industry has also reduced inflation. Generally speaking, the more developed the manufacturing industry, the more things the country can produce independently. The more, the lower the inflation, which is why La Pampa has had much lower inflation than Buenos Aires and Córdoba in the past few years.
In addition to Blanca City, the population of other key cities is growing rapidly. Although these manufacturing and industries are somewhat shoddy due to technology and traditional industrial bases, they do have considerable competitiveness, allowing Blanca City to accommodate the scale. Huge population.
With the influx of foreign capital and domestic high-quality companies, Blanca's manufacturing industry is also slowly upgrading.
Barron's Bank benefited from the development of the foreign trade processing industry in La Pampa Province and was able to extend its tentacles to more places, while the Cohen Consortium also developed faster with the help of Barron's Bank.
The Cohen consortium has now begun to turn into a huge community of interests, and some peripheral companies have slowly integrated into the Cohen consortium, indirectly becoming supporters of St. Hesse.
…
As far as neighboring countries are concerned, military governments are currently prevalent in Latin America. The Paraguayan military government, the National Assembly of Uruguay, Brazil and Chile are also developing in this trend. Saint Jose also has to change its development path, otherwise La Pampa Province will eventually become one Big fat.
In addition to participating in major domestic events, St. Jose's Falcon Bureau re-internationalized and, along with some companies under the Cohen Consortium, dispatched a large number of intelligence team personnel to South America, especially to Brazil.
Brazil is rich in resources, and its population size and growth far exceed that of Argentina today. It is the closest domestic market to Argentina.
The Cohen Group attaches great importance to the Brazilian market, and Brazil is indeed booming today.
For San Jose, a strong Brazil is not in the interests of the Argentines, and a less powerful Brazil is actually not in the interests of the Argentines. Brazil has huge development potential.
This is the export market at our doorstep, a behemoth country with a population of 80 to 90 million people.
There is no strong family support behind Saint Jose. His father-in-law's family has recently fallen into a trough. General Thomas Jr. is now unable to protect himself. The Cordoba faction has also changed its dynasty. He can only form his own faction to protect a large number of his followers. Our interests are now tied to the same rope, and it will be hard for his subordinates if he falls.
La Pampa Province has now become his independent kingdom. He relies on nepotism and promotes talents, forming a huge interest group. Now someone wants to add sand to it, and his subordinates are responsible for doing it, and he is responsible for finishing it.
The most important thing now is to stabilize Belgrano and form a community of interests. San Jose's power is also extremely huge now. There is the Cohen Group outside and the Radical Party inside. His support rate in La Pampa Province has always been very high. And it has mastered a military force and a paramilitary force, the La Pampa Defense Force and the La Pampa Police Department. The Defense Force has its own army and air force squads, and the Police Department has established a coast guard. Although the scale is small, the overall The combat effectiveness and military training are pretty good.
La Pampa Province has an efficient civil service team that can well support the expansion of the population. Of course, various problems have also arisen. This is a normal price paid by La Pampa Province for its rapid industrialization, and it is not unbearable.
Saint Jesé tentatively accelerated the path to expand power and increase strength. In the end, Blanca City was just a small fight, and Buenos Aires was the final battlefield.
Now the Ministry of National Defense is extremely poor, and the presidential palace allocates less and less. Belgrano Port is a military port. Except for the normal payment of military salaries, the rest of the warship equipment has not been updated for two years, and it has even defaulted on arrears to the Blanca Shipyard. maintenance fees.
Blanca Shipyard transformed the maintenance shipyard connected with the Ministry of the Navy into a warship factory. Although it failed to produce warships, the maintenance capabilities and modification results were indeed good.
…
A steady stream of new immigrants from non-Latin America are attracted and settled in Blanca City, and various communities are gradually formed and enriched, forming many distinctive urban areas, such as China Town, Indian immigrant community, etc.
Due to the chaos in the Southeast Asian region, the number of Chinese immigrants in Argentina has begun to increase significantly in the past six months. St. Jose welcomes all comers. Compared with immigrants from other countries, St. Jose has a great favorable impression of Chinese immigrants. As long as the number does not form an absolute advantage, He's not worried about backlash, which isn't a bad thing.
Of course, Saint-Jesse still intends to screen immigrants with clean financial status. After all, even among Chinese immigrants who are known for their hard work, there are still many "bad elements". The combat effectiveness and destructive power of Chinese gangs are no worse than those of Italian gangs.
From the notorious fraud gangs in Taiwan to other fraud families in later generations, in addition to the protection of warlords, fellow villagers cheating fellow villagers is even more terrifying. The development in Myanmar, Thailand and Dubai in Southeast Asia is stained with human blood and is even more terrifying.
The current crimes in Blanca are nothing more than child's play.
In recent years, due to Argentina's slow economic recovery, high unemployment and high poverty, the social security situation has deteriorated and the crime rate has continued to rise. Vicious incidents such as armed robbery, kidnapping and extortion have occurred from time to time. Blanca City targets new immigrants or ordinary people. Residents also have a higher proportion of theft cases.
To this end, La Pampa Province has taken a series of measures such as strengthening legislation, improving police equipment, increasing security patrols, and expanding the scope of police powers. The security situation in the entire region has improved.
But as far as Argentina as a whole is concerned, it is actually not bad, but the more troublesome thing is the strikes and school strikes, which is obviously a more serious problem.
…
In Southeast Asia, since the end of last year, a large-scale chaotic civil war broke out in Indonesia. Chinese, Indonesian natives, Malays, Aqis, and Republicans began to take up arms and fight.
Among them, St. Jose has a share of the credit, and the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, France, and the Netherlands also made some contributions.
San Jose sold at least US$100 million in arms in Indonesia, cleared a large inventory of military weapons, and shipped a large number of arms ships packed into trade ships, including 280,000 MP40s, 1,689 109 rocket launchers, 700,000 pistols, and mortars. There are 2,600 guns, more than 600,000 imitation AK47s, more than 100 tanks, tens of thousands of motorcycles, and various modified fishing boats...
Warlord wars also broke out in Singapore, Malaya, Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia and other countries. From independence to war, a large number of cheap Argentine arms entered the Southeast Asian region through smuggling channels, allowing the Cohen Consortium to make a lot of money and successfully survive. , stimulating exports from the city of Blanca.
