Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2372 Friendship
Iron Four Corners, which owns the Minas Gerais mining area, is the largest mineral resources company in Brazil. It has 1.5 employees and produces hundreds of millions of tons of iron ore every year. It has its own railway and port, and can form a police station and army. Within Brazil, Minas Gerais is a state within a state.

This is also normal. Before the outbreak of the Brazilian Civil War, Iron Four Corners had become the largest company in Brazil. It was only after receiving the support of Iron Four Corners that Vargas was successfully elected as the president of Brazil.

After the establishment of the United States of Brazil, in return, Iron Four Corners obtained the right to operate almost all mineral resources including iron ore, petroleum, timber, niobium, manganese, titanium, etc., and the scale of the enterprise was further expanded, especially niobium. Iron Four Corners’ niobium production , accounting for more than 80.00% of the world's niobium production.

After receiving Gavin's telegram, Fan Bao, general manager of Iron Four Corners, went directly to his old partner Hilario.

Hilario is currently serving as the general manager of Umbrella Corporation's South American business, and at the same time serving as the security affairs consultant for the United States of Brazil. The military of the United States of Brazil was born out of Umbrella Corporation and was formed by Hilario.

"I just said that I can't learn from the Lord to raise Gu. Brazil is not southern Africa. We need a tougher president." Hilario was very happy. The opposition in Brazil has a lot to do with Iron Four Corner's acquiescence.

Before Southern Africa's self-government, there were serious monopoly operations in many fields, such as South African companies in the food industry, Fawalt in the resource industry, and Nyasaland in the manufacturing field.

After the independence of southern Africa, Rock began to raise Gu to break the monopoly of large companies in the field and ensure that in each industry, at least three to five competitive companies compete with each other to form a healthier market.

The situation in southern Africa is now much better than before autonomy. Taking automobile manufacturing as an example, Nyasaland Automobile in southern Africa, Rhodesia Heavy Industries, and Diesel Power, headquartered in Port Edward, are all very competitive. The three companies have different emphases, each has its own strengths in technology, complement each other, and jointly monopolize more than 70.00% of the world's auto market.

The remaining 30.00% is divided among American car companies, but the consortia behind these three companies also own shares in American car companies.

In the field of resources, there are also many enterprises in southern Africa with great strength. Fawalt and Adan are giants in the iron ore and oil industries respectively. Iron Four Corners and Nezhi Petroleum are rising stars. There are Katanga in the middle Although not well-known, it is also a powerful large-scale resource enterprise. Southern Africa's advantages in mineral resources are unrivaled.

The current situation in Brazil is somewhat similar to that of southern Africa before self-government.

"No, no, no, we need to have more choices, so that we can have more opportunities when the situation is about to get out of control." Fan Bao is not raising Gu, but imitating the British to play balance.

As a scholar, Vargas can stand out from the chaos in Brazil and overthrow the rule of the trio to come to power. The support of the Iron Square and the umbrella is of course important, and Vargas's own ability is also commendable.

Vargas is a very courageous person. After becoming president, he studied southern Africa, vigorously developed resource extraction and industrial manufacturing, and tried to create a South American version of southern Africa.

It was precisely because Vargas tried to develop the manufacturing industry that aroused Fan Bao's vigilance.

As the back garden of southern Africa, Brazil honestly exploits resources and exports them to southern Africa, and it only needs to be a good supplier in southern Africa.

Do you want to develop the manufacturing industry?

Will it replace Southern Africa's manufacturing status, and finally get rid of its status as a resource exporter and become a competitor of Southern Africa's manufacturing industry?

Although Fan Bao has become a Brazilian citizen, he still considers himself a southern African in his heart.

Fan Bao still wants to return to Nyasaranglo City to return to the pastoral life after retirement. If he accidentally cultivates a large number of competitors for the southern African manufacturing industry, Fan Bao can't even return home.

Therefore, under the intentional or unintentional connivance of Iron Four Corners, the opposition in Brazil became stronger and stronger, and finally threatened Vargas' dominance.

"OK, you've got your wish now. The situation in Rio is about to get out of control. Your chance is here. What are you going to do? Change the president?" Hilario sneered. He wasn't joking. Fan Bao really has this ability.

Under Brazil's system, Fan Bao, as the general manager of the Iron Four Corners, is equivalent to Brazil's "opposition president". Without Fan Bao's nod of approval, no one can win the election.

Even if Fan Bao wants to be president, he has a chance, even if Fan Bao has a standard southern African face.

"If Mr. President doesn't realize the problem, then it's not impossible to change it." Fan Bao is not satisfied with Vargas. Vargas has too many ideas. Isn't it good to be an obedient president honestly.

After the establishment of the United States of Brazil, the headquarters of the Iron Four Corners moved from Belo Horizonte to Victoria Harbor, of course, the rebuilt Victoria.

During the Brazilian Civil War, Victoria Harbor was almost completely destroyed, 80.00% of the buildings were destroyed by the war.

After the war, Iron Four Corners took over the reconstruction of Victoria Harbor and built a brand new Victoria Harbor at a cost of hundreds of millions of rands in accordance with southern African standards, making Victoria Harbor the base camp of Iron Four Corners in Brazil.

After the rebuilding, the scale of Victoria is even bigger than before, and it has become a developed and modern port city. Before that, large areas of slums in the city were completely leveled out and replaced by residential areas composed of apartments and residential buildings.

The affluent area in the city center was transformed into a commercial area, and the rich moved to the outskirts of the city to live in single-family villas with beautiful surroundings. The headquarters of Iron Four Corners is located in Pedro Square in the city center, next to the Victoria Municipal Government.

The next day, Carlos, the leader of the largest opposition party in Brazil, returned from the United States and passed by Victoria to visit Fan Bao.

Carlos is also an old friend of Fan Bao. Few people know that Carlos used to be Fan Bao's personal assistant and the person Fan Bao trusted most in Brazil.

"Mr. Fan, on behalf of U.S. Steel Corporation, I formally lodge a protest with you. Why is the price of iron ore supplied by Iron Four Corners to Fawalt nearly twice as cheap as the price of iron ore supplied to U.S. Steel Corporation? This is a serious violation. You must give me an explanation for the agreement signed between Lord Nyasaland and President Roosevelt—" Carlos failed before he could finish speaking, and lay down on the chair with a smile.

U.S. steel companies have always had an urgent demand for iron ore. The world’s best-grade iron ore is all controlled by southern African companies. Needless to say, iron ore from Australia, even iron ore from Brazil is controlled by southern African companies. Control, which made U.S. Steel very dissatisfied.

Not long after Iron Four Corners was established, disputes over iron ore arose. A large part of the reason for the Brazilian Civil War was iron ore. Even after the failure of the Brazilian Civil War, Americans still did not give up on iron ore. As Carlos It is normal for the leader of the largest opposition local party in Brazil to be chosen by the Americans.

Just look at the Iron Square right now.

If Carlos defeats Vargas to become the president of Brazil, then the U.S. Steel Corporation, which supports Carlos, will also be rewarded handsomely.

Obviously, Carlos went to the United States this time and reached an agreement with the U.S. Steel Corporation, and at the same time received a lot of sponsorship from Americans.

This is really a good business. With American money to run for the president of Brazil, there are rewards for winning and no punishment for losing.

"Iron Four Corners and Fawalt are both the property of Lord Nyasaland and Lord Fawalt. Is this explanation enough?" There is a contradiction between Brazil, which can make more money for Iron Four.

For a stable Brazil, Southern Africa can transfer some of its benefits to Brazil.

Iron Four Corners is a commercial company, and its only purpose is to make money, and investing in Victoria is also for making money.

Victoria is now Brazil's largest port on the Atlantic coast. More than 90.00% of the iron ore exported to southern Africa passes through Victoria, and the export volume of timber also accounts for about 40.00% of Brazil's export volume.

"To be honest, our Mr. President is very unlucky. Living in this era is his sorrow, and it is also Brazil's sorrow." Carlos lamented that it is really difficult to be the president of Brazil.

The key is to see how.

In the countries of the Southern African Union, there are many kings and presidents who are honest and dawdling. If you really want to do something, the difficulty is hell.

"I heard that President Vargas has hired an American as his personal adviser. What does he want to do?" Fan Bao was full of vigilance towards Vargas, which was clearly a rhythm of betting on both ends.

From the standpoint of Brazil, it is obvious that there is a balance between southern Africa and the United States, which is more beneficial to Brazil.

Vargas relied on southern Africa to win the civil war. After becoming president, his ass decided his head and he began to have his own ideas. This is also normal.

"What else can I do? I'm dissatisfied with the current situation in Brazil. Let me remind you that President Vargas is 60 years old. If you don't work hard, you will grow old—" Carlos covered most of his face with his hand holding a cup, thinking It is also a bit much.

This is what worries Gavin the most.

Vargas is not good enough to be president, so will it be better if another one comes up?

Impossible, maybe it will be worse.

Maslow's five needs, from the lowest physiological to the highest self-actualization, Vargas is now on the fifth level and is striving for self-actualization.

Carlos is on the fourth floor and needs to be respected by everyone.

Maslow and Carlos are not alone, each represents an interest group, and many people rely on Maslow and Carlos for their interests.

To put it bluntly, it is to make money.

There is only one president. The president has made enough money and strives for self-realization. If another president comes up, he still has to go through this process again.

Vargas has made frequent moves in recent years. In 34, he promulgated the Constitution, which stipulated for the first time that women have the right to vote.

In 37, he dissolved the Congress under the pretext of "social unrest", banned all political parties except the Liberal Alliance, and consolidated his position.

In the same year, Vargas revised the 34-year constitution and established a totalitarian government known as the "new country" to carry out political, social and economic reforms in Brazil.

Just last month, Vargas prepared to create the Brazilian Labor Party, which finally triggered a concentrated outbreak of Van Bow's dissatisfaction with Vargas.

Vargas was born as a rancher and came to power with the support of the Iron Square and the umbrella, representing the interests of southern African capital in Brazil.

Now that Vargas wants to create the Labor Party, this is betraying his own class attributes and preparing to rely on the Labor Party to get rid of the control of Vargas himself and the Brazilian government by southern African capital.

You can amend the constitution.

It doesn't matter if a new country is established, as long as the interests of southern African capital in Brazil are maintained.

Now that Vargas is going to set up another stove, Fan Bao must be a blow to the head.

"Has the president had any contact with the Russians?" Fan Bao is most worried about this.

Brazil is now in the middle of southern Africa and the United States. It's messy enough. If the Russians get involved, it will be even worse.

If the Labor Party that Vargas wants to form is the British Labor Party, the situation is not too serious.

If it's the Russian kind, then the fun will be great.

"Probably not, the president has no chance to contact the Russians." Carlos said this confidently, which fully demonstrated the extent of Carlos' understanding of Vargas.

It is not appropriate to describe it as understanding.

It should be said that the opposition has penetrated the presidential palace.

"Let's go, I'll go to Rio with you." Fan Bao still decided to meet with Vargas first, and then decide what to do.

Like Victoria Harbour, Rio after reconstruction also has a distinctive southern African style, with spacious streets, parks everywhere, bustling commercial streets, quiet residential areas, the entire city covers a huge area, and public transportation is very developed. Subway stations and bus stations can be seen everywhere, and everything is people-oriented.

Fan Bao wanted to see Vargas without an appointment, and it would be a great honor to come to Rio on his own initiative.

Vargas was still enthusiastic about Van Bow, at least on the surface.

"I want to build Brazil into the southern Africa of South America, where everyone can live happily, truly eradicate poverty, so that everyone can coexist peacefully and stay away from the threat of war—" Vargas looked sincere, and it seemed that he really wanted to do something.

"Have you considered the consequences of doing so? Even the lord can't guarantee that poverty can be eradicated in southern Africa. You can't make everyone live happily. That kind of situation only exists in Utopia." Fan Bao directly poured cold water on it. It is good to have ideals Yes, you can't be too ambitious and divorced from reality.

"If you don't work hard, how do you know you can't achieve it? We can't be satisfied with the status quo forever." Vargas is determined, which is a common trait of all successful people. It is an advantage and sometimes a disadvantage.

"You are now qualified to leave your name in the history of Brazil. If you insist on doing so, the consequences will be unpredictable." Fan Bao will not completely give up Vargas until it is irretrievable.

"I know, but this is my choice. I hope you support me, my friend, just as you have always supported me." Vargas hopes to get Fan Bao's support.

Fan Bao finally realized that Vargas would do it even if Fan Bao objected.
