Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1881 Tear Sale

I don't know if the Brazilian military government is crazy or not, but Pedro Santos, the governor of Espirito Santo State, is going crazy.

The state of Espirito Santo is located on the southeast coast of Brazil, with Minas Gerais to the west and Rio de Janeiro to the south. The state of Espirito Santo is quite awkwardly sandwiched between the states of Mimi and Rio.

Espiritu Santo means "Holy God" in Christianity. The Holy State is rich in resources, and the famous Vale is mainly located in the Holy State.

During the period when Deodoro da Fonseca promoted the "coffee economy", coffee also became a pillar industry in San Francisco. However, unlike the sad state of Michigan, San Francisco's coffee economy was not destroyed during the economic crisis because it is located in a coastal area. Sexual attacks still retain a certain scale.

The relationship between Mizhou and Rio has deteriorated, and the Holy State is caught in the middle. Once a war breaks out between Mizhou and Rio, the Holy State will undoubtedly be affected.

Now that the Umbrella has begun to increase troops to Kitchena Port again, Pedro Santos is very worried. He has already smelled the smoke of gunpowder.

"Your Excellency Governor, Mr. Fan Bao, General Manager of Iron Four Corners, is here to visit."

Fan Bao took the initiative and went all out for Vargas.

This is no way, no matter how good the Brazilian military government is, it is the only legal government in Brazil in name. The state of Michigan is an enemy of a country, so it must get the support of other states as much as possible, make as many friends as possible, and make as few enemies as possible. of.

"Ask him to come in—no, wait, I'm going to pick it up." The energy displayed by Iron Four made Pedro Santos dare not neglect.

"Your Excellency Governor, hello—" Fan Bao was still gentle.

"Fan, welcome to Victoria. I hope you bring me good news." Pedro Santos said directly, the bayonet had already reached his throat, and there was no point in going around in circles.

"Victoria is a city full of charm. There are many ancient buildings here, which make people linger." Fan Bao casually flattered, but of course it was not all flattery. The city of Victoria does have many ancient buildings, such as the official residence of Pedro Santos, It was once the residence of Pedro I, Regent of the Brazilian Empire.

Pedro I's full name is——

Forget it, or you will be scolded as a water fish again. This master's name has a total of 126 letters, and there are 83 words in translation.

Jing (dong) Yi (pin) seeks (xi) Jing (cou) author who has counted letters one by one, please hammer.

It has to be said that houses built of granite and marble are strong. Pedro I was born 100 years ago. The palace built in those days is still intact today, and it also adds a sense of age to the grandeur, solemnity and elegance. It is a pity to use it as the governor's official residence. It must be interesting to change it to a museum or something.

However, this seems to be a good idea. In Brazil, even if the palace is converted into a museum, few people will come to visit it. On the contrary, rebuilding a governor's mansion is a waste of time and money.

Also considered waste utilization.

Fan Bao brought Pedro Santos really good news.

In addition to coffee, Sanctuary also vigorously develops agriculture, animal husbandry and fruit planting. The output of coconut and papaya ranks first in Brazil. At the same time, Sanzhou's special products include wood, granite and marble. Last year, Sanzhou exported more than 1000 million cubic meters, mainly sold to southern Africa.

What Van Bow brought to Pedro Santos was a larger purchase contract, among which the purchase volume of granite and marble reached an unprecedented 5000 million cubic meters, which is basically how much for the current state of Santos How much rhythm do you want.

There is no way around this. The demand for high-grade stone materials in southern Africa has always been high. In the past, only dignitaries needed high-grade stone materials when they built luxury houses. Now farmers are building houses, and they also hope to get some high-grade stone materials for foundation or decoration. Yes, the high-grade stone materials in Southern Africa and surrounding countries are about to be emptied. This order is good for Southern Africa and the holy state.

It is not right to say that mining is empty. After all, quarries still pollute the environment a lot. Southern Africa has become more and more demanding on the environment in recent years, and the cost of mining high-grade stones has also become higher and higher, so external procurement has become the best choice.

Taking a step back, it is also a tradition in southern Africa to keep the resources in the territory without developing them and to purchase as much as possible.

"Increasing orders is a good thing, but why is the unit price so low?" Pedro Santos was not satisfied with the price offered by Iron Four.

Fan Bao smiled. If it was retail before, now it is wholesale. It is normal to be cheaper.

What's more, Iron Four Corners not only needs to purchase high-grade stone materials, but also coffee, cocoa beans, wood, and even fruits, beef and other iron four corners. Anyway, there will definitely be a war between Mizhou and Rio in the near future, and materials that can be purchased locally Still have to buy locally.

"If you want, Iron Four Corners can help you contact a South African company, and try our best to facilitate the South African company to build a local factory in Shengzhou to further process the food produced in Shengzhou. You should know that South African companies are world-renowned in the field of food processing. "Fan Bao threw another big bomb, and Pedro Santos' heart beat violently.

The purchases are all small money. It seems that the transaction volume is quite large, but in fact it is a one-shot transaction.

Compared with resource procurement, setting up a local factory in the Holy State is the hen that keeps laying golden eggs. The construction of a factory will provide a lot of job opportunities for the locals in the Holy State. Southern Africa will send most technicians here, and more people still need to use the Holy State. State local labor resources.

When the factories start operation, there will be a steady stream of tax revenue, and there will be stable sales channels for coconuts, papayas, and aquatic products, which will greatly promote the development of related industries.

"What's the price?" Pedro Santos hasn't lost his mind yet. The more benefits Fan Bao gives, the greater the return he hopes to get from the Holy State.

"Of course the price is that Shengzhou must protect the interests of Iron Four Corners at all costs!" Fan Bao was decisive, and his words were very skillful.

Iron Four Corners has invested so much in the Holy State, and it is only right and proper to ask the state capital of the Holy State to protect the interests of Iron Four Corners.

Fan Bao did not say that the Holy State would support MI to fight against Rio. Although Brazil has 26 states, the military government does not have strong control over the states. The essence is actually the coastal areas of these southern states. As long as these states are settled States, Mizhou is already in an invincible position.

At least it can compete with Rio.

"Then your investment is not enough—" Pedro Santos was still cunning, and no matter how nice Fan Bao said, it couldn't change the fact.

As long as the Holy State accepts the conditions of the Iron Four Corners, it means that the Holy State must choose a side. Now that the state of Michigan has the support of southern Africa, and Rio has the support of the United States, it seems that the strength is evenly matched, and the future is uncertain.

"Your Excellency Governor, this investment represents the friendship of the Iron Four Corners Company." Fan Bao's tone was light and calm, with turbulent waves behind him.

Since it is friendship, it is obvious that if you accept it, you are a friend, and if you don't accept it, you are an enemy.

Enemy with Iron Four Corners?

What are you kidding, Iron Square and Umbrella wear a pair of pants, the boss is alone, and the tanks and frigates of the umbrella are parked in Kitchener Harbor. If the Holy State does not accept the conditions of the Iron Four, the umbrella company does not even need it Deploying tanks and frigates can easily change the sky in the Holy State.

In addition to 3000 southern African mercenaries, the umbrella company now has nearly [-] Brazilian mercenaries.

Recently, the umbrella has been greatly expanded, trying to increase the number of Brazilian mercenaries to 5000.

As a comparison, there is no National Guard in the Holy State at all, and Pedro Santos has less than a hundred policemen on hand, expecting the police to deal with the mercenaries of the umbrella company?

Don't be kidding, if there is a conflict between the state capital of the Holy State and the umbrella, those policemen who are dawdling all day will probably turn against them directly.

Of course, the Holy State's armed forces must be more than that. In name, Victoria also has a regiment of defense forces stationed there.

However, Pedro Santos is very clear about the situation of the Brazilian National Defense Forces. I won’t say anything about backward equipment and insufficient training. If there are 1500 troops in an army of 1000, it is considered that the officers are very professional. Such troops are used to scare the Brazilian people. It's okay, meeting mercenaries who have been performing high-intensity combat missions for many years is simply delivering food.

Based on the reality of the Holy State, Pedro Santos thought about it, and the Holy State really did not have the qualifications to refuse the olive branch offered by Iron Four Corners.

Now that the general direction is determined, the next step is the minutiae.

After all, he has become an ally, and Fan Bao also made appropriate concessions. Isn’t Pedro Santos dissatisfied with the price of high-grade stone materials? Then a symbolic increase per cubic meter not only gave Pedro Santos face, Iron Four Corners It can also be beneficial, and everyone is happy.

Just as Fan Bao was traveling from east to west, the weapons purchased by Rio from the United States finally arrived in Brazil.

Fragozzo is still very smart, knowing that the umbrella company is likely to be a hindrance, so he asked the United States to deliver the goods to his door.

The Umbrella Company was able to exercise restraint in the case of merchant ships flying the American flag. Even though it knew that the merchant ship delivering arms to Rio passed by off the coast of Victoria, the Umbrella Company's frigates did not dispatch.

Compared with the honest and honest southern Africans, the Americans are a bit pitted. The weapons sold to Rio are at least the products of the World War, and even the products of the last century. The rifles were obtained from Britain during the World War Lee Enfield, and American-made Springfield and Winchester.

Forget about Springfield, after all, it participated in the world wars. Winchester produces lever-action rifles, a product of the last century. In this way, the Americans can still use Winchester to cheat money. Clear inventory.

Of course, for Americans, it is a big sale with tears in the warehouse.
