Rise of the Argentine Empire

After Saint Hethase's speech at the military academy, he began to lead the new military corps to rectify the public security of Blanca City. It has to be said that this operation was very successful.

In the period before and after the establishment of the La Pampa Defense Army, the public security of Blanca City was actually okay. After all, in a city where everyone can find a job, who would really commit crimes and seek death?

The La Pampa Provincial Defense Corps implements a compulsory military service system, but participation is voluntary, and it recruits from several surrounding provinces.

Currently, only males are allowed to serve. After three years of service, they can be transferred to volunteer soldiers, with a maximum age limit of 40. The salary during the service period is increased based on the local average salary, and there are bonus points in the local police department examinations and civil service examinations, especially in the various bonus point policies of Blanca City, the provincial capital.

The population of La Pampa Province has increased to 1 million in half a year, of which Blanca City is expected to have 580,000, and Greater Blanca City has about 650,000, including 3 coastal cities and 5 inland cities.

The original Greater Blanca City was mostly merged by Saint Hethase, and now some cities in La Pampa Province have also gained some development.

The cities surrounding Blanca City are also learning from Blanca City's advanced development experience, and the population is starting to increase.

In March, Santa Rosa City received financial transfers from Blanca City. According to Saint Hethase's development suggestions, it also began large-scale urban construction. In two months, the city's population increased from less than 50,000 to more than 80,000. A highway connecting Blanca City is being prepared for filing and construction.

Blanca City's Second Construction Company and San Martin City's Harris Road Construction Company jointly bid to build Argentina's first highway from Santa Rosa to Blanca, connecting the inland and coastal areas of La Pampa Province, and welcoming the arrival of the highway era.

Saint Hethase used the position of Blanca City councilors in the La Pampa Provincial Assembly to persuade the senior officials of Lata and other councilors, citing the threat of Chileans, the deterioration of the overall public security environment, and the defense experience of learning from Cordoba Province, to build La Pampa Province's defense.

The La Pampa Provincial Assembly approved the proposal, significantly increased the national defense budget, purchased a large number of new equipment from New Cohen Heavy Industries, and completed the transformation of the Defense Corps from a temporary armed army to a professional army.

With military main business as the focus, Cohen Heavy Industries has also slowly recovered its vitality, and the speed of new tank actual combat experiments has also accelerated. After Leiden Automobile Company acquired the German Automobile Alliance, its technical strength has rapidly advanced to the level of a world-class second-tier automobile factory.

At the same time, it has also obtained a large number of excellent military technology sources, which has accelerated the research and experimental of new tanks. A batch of new weapons, such as the MK-55 new small-caliber assault rifle designed with reference to the AK-47 experience, has also begun to be tested at the shooting range. Now it can be tested openly, and with real fixed military customers, Cohen Heavy Industries has bound the most important customer, the La Pampa Defense Army.

Excellent steel makes the quality of guns and artillery better. The improved processing equipment is even comparable to the original Buenos Aires factory, and most of the excellent weapons experts have also been brought over.

The nationalization of Leiden Military Industries has instead strengthened Saint Hethase's belief in continuing the military industry. Today, they can find excuses to nationalize Leiden Military Industries, tomorrow they can nationalize La Plata Steel Plant, and the day after tomorrow they can nationalize Baron Bank.

They don't really value Leiden Military Industries, but think that Leiden Military Industries is a big piece of fat, and it just happens to be a national defense strategic industry, so there is an excuse.

Saint Hethase was able to transfer most of the technical experts to Blanca City.

It is also true that the public security in the Alta district is more severe. Indeed, there are too many foreigners, and the number of people managed has increased greatly, but the number of police officers in the police department cannot be increased synchronously. After all, illegal immigrants are not included in the statistics.

After all, most of the criminals in the prison have already realized their mistakes, and if they perform well, they can get a reduced sentence or even provide employment opportunities after reform. For a time, dragons and snakes rose together in Blanca City, and all kinds of criminal masters appeared on the stage, as if Blanca City had really become a criminal paradise.

The young people in Blanca City are busy making money and don't participate in any criminal organizations, so Saint Hethase also went to other places to find a new group of actors who played like real.

As a result, he really caught a batch of fish. There is really a batch of civil servants colluding with criminals in the underground of Blanca City, which has good public security.

The criminal gangs in Blanca City have become elite, in-depth, and hidden. They will even package themselves and whitewash themselves. This time, Saint Hethase deliberately relaxed the control of public security in Blanca City in order to lead out this group of people.

In fact, as long as it is not continuous crime, Saint Hethase is willing to give them a chance.

But when they start to corrupt the civil service system, this is what Saint Hethase cannot tolerate.

When they engage in human trafficking, operate brothels, and even establish underground casinos, destroying the stable situation in Blanca City, Saint Hethase plans to clean them up.

With the mechanical processing level and the research and experimental of new metal materials in Blanca City, a solid foundation has been provided for the development of Cohen Heavy Industries and San Martin Aircraft Factory.

Two Arrow-3 fighters streaked across the high sky over the Alich district. The silver and slender fuselage is more beautiful than the Air Force's Meteor fighters, and the combat effectiveness is also quite amazing.

Six 40-ton K-55 tank vehicles manufactured using the new tracked chassis manufactured by American tanks drove side by side across the Harvest Goddess Square. They adopted Italian 105mm caliber artillery technology, one 7.62mm machine gun, and one 12.7mm large-caliber anti-aircraft machine gun. The diesel engine is purely Argentine-produced, with an amazing horsepower of 720 horsepower, which can drive heavy tanks. It is said that the research and development was inspired by marine diesel engines.

Argentine Diesel Engine Factory has also introduced a lot of technology. Except for the diesel engines for 10,000-ton freighters that cannot be produced, from tractor diesel engines to fishing boats worth thousands of tons, they have all been localized.

In addition, six 30-ton V-55 tracked infantry fighting vehicles with the same chassis platform also drove past the square. The weapons are one 20mm cannon and one 7.62mm machine gun. The machine gun is located on the top of the rear troop compartment. There are 3 firing holes on each side of the troop compartment, and 2 rectangular hatches on the top. The diesel engine is the same as the tank.

This time, Philip Industrial Tractor Factory provided a lot of help for Cohen Heavy Industries' tank production, and transferred many production equipment to Cohen Heavy Industries' Blanca City Tank Factory free of charge.

Finally, the La Pampa Defense Army also displayed a large number of new weapons and equipment such as new mortars, rocket launchers, and howitzers.

This military parade has attracted a lot of attention. The Argentine Ministry of Defense has strictly questioned the La Pampa Defense Army's military parade, and Saint Hethase has responded to this.

The newly established La Pampa province faces a severe defense situation, with the personal and property safety of residents under serious threat. Our province is strictly carrying out military system reforms in accordance with Argentina's National Defense Law to establish a defense army. As a medium-sized province with a population of nearly one million, it is imperative to have a defense force to protect the interests of the people of La Pampa. Moreover, the size of La Pampa's army is far smaller than that of Cordoba and Buenos Aires provinces.

The Ministry of Defense did not respond.

San Jose continued to increase the import of military technology, planning to develop a complete set of military technologies, even negotiating technology imports with many military industrial enterprises for things like naval vessels, submarine technology, and large-caliber howitzers.

Cooperation with the Austrian Steyr truck factory involved importing truck production lines to produce self-propelled artillery.

The Leyland Motors-Fiat project is steadily advancing, and progress has been made in replicating the production line. The German Automobile Alliance company is accelerating its development again, investing another 5 million US dollars to purchase production equipment, and supporting them in developing their own cars.

The technical level of the German Automobile Alliance company is stronger than that of Leyland Motors' parent company, and the talent resources in the Federal Republic of Germany are also abundant. It only needs investment, and technical development can be shared.

With sufficient funds, the German Automobile Alliance company can attract more talent. Currently, German salaries are not too high, and sales of Volkswagen Beetles, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW are not very good. San Jose also gave Audi enough money to poach people.

Originally, his idea was not to interfere with companies invested in by foreigners, but now it seems that it is not impossible. Now Audi's foundation surpasses a large number of Japanese car companies. If there is enough capital and foresight, it may develop better and provide tremendous help to Leyland Motors.

San Jose is also striving to achieve the mechanization and motorization of the La Pampa Defense Force as soon as possible.

The tank factory is still continuing to experiment with modifications, striving to make the new tank surpass the Sherman tank in strength, and to completely master the manufacturing technology of tank gun barrels.

There are also many problems with diesel engines that need to be improved, and there are constant minor problems with the tracks.

......

For the citizens of Blanca, San Jose carries out such security rectifications almost every period of time.

The Police Department generally calls it "Operation Sweep Away Black and Eliminate Evil."

For many people in Blanca, life continues, and there are more job opportunities. Even the local elderly in Blanca do not have much sense of superiority. This is an immigrant city.

These are all things that San Jose has been promoting in public opinion. He tries to avoid creating a divide between locals and outsiders, and creates more fair development opportunities for everyone who comes to Blanca.

This is the core competitiveness that allows Blanca to maintain its development vitality and attract more people to come here.

Some commercial education institutions have begun to appear in Blanca, and free public night schools have also been established.

And some people with keen senses, such as the Jews, have begun to open grocery stores in Blanca. There are many Russian Jews in Argentina. They are indeed good at business and like to stick together.

Their number in Argentina is not very large, only about 100,000. The establishment of Israel around 1948 reduced the number of Jews in Argentina a lot.

There are also many Chinese from Southeast Asia, and Vietnamese from Saigon come to Blanca to do small businesses. San Jose does not refuse anyone, as long as they do not cause trouble and keep a low profile, there are basically no major problems.

Under the effect of various laws in Blanca, everyone is still relatively friendly. Of course, San Jose prefers immigrants from neighboring Spanish-speaking countries. Now Blanca is also an immigrant city. Except for the mixed-race foreign immigrants, the skin color will be a little different, the difference is not big, and the culture is easier to integrate.

As long as these immigrants obtain Argentine citizenship, except for the first generation of immigrants who are restricted in a few occupations, the second generation of immigrants are fully open, and even taking civil service exams, registering for military service, and joining the police department have no restrictions.

San Jose is promoting this, and he is doing it. The more people, the greater the advantage, and the greater the late-mover advantage.

As for foreign spies and the like, just keep an eye on them secretly. The Falcon Bureau is implementing a strategic contraction, withdrawing a large number of unimportant provinces. Some foreign institutions have also completely transformed into commercial institutions, making money and commercial intelligence for San Jose, and transforming into commercial trade brokers, making friends with some foreign dignitaries.

The second generation living in Blanca automatically acquires all the rights of the people of Blanca from infancy, including tax reductions and exemptions, free primary school, half-price tuition for secondary school, and no restrictions on taking local universities. You don't even need to marry an Argentine national, but there are restrictions on some areas. From top to bottom, the people of Blanca are more resistant to the Nigger, and if they are caught, they will basically be deported, while they are quite friendly to immigrants from other countries.

Immigrants from other places such as Gypsies, Indians, Persians, Egyptians, and people from the Fertile Crescent and North Africa do not have many restrictions, whether it is working or living.

"Although this is due to some historical reasons, we Argentines avoid being like Brazil and the United States, accepting these descendants of plantation trade or tropical continents. If you think it is discrimination, there is actually no problem. Our police department and city hall do do this. We can only guarantee that he can leave Argentina safely. If you are a factory owner and choose to hire these real illegal immigrants, then you will have a lot of trouble. This has almost become a hidden rule in La Pampa province."

A citizen of Blanca who declined to be named admitted this in a report in the Blanca Evening News.

Some Persians and people from the Fertile Crescent live in harmony here in Blanca, and traditional hatred has not continued here.

The Blanca City Hall is fair and just, the politics are clear, everyone has a job, lives and works in peace, and the economic development is extremely rapid. After obtaining the status of the provincial government, the development is even faster, and a massive construction climax has been set off again. Various commercial trade routes with foreign countries have been opened, and import and export trade continues to develop rapidly.

Chile's copper mines, Colombia's coal and rubber, Brazil's timber and iron ore, and Australia's coal have all grown rapidly, while Blanca's exports of steel, furniture, clothing, shoes, tobacco, plastics, and hardware products have made Blanca's economic development more rapid.

Since last year, San Jose has used a lot of his own resources to layout the industrial development of Blanca, earning the first pot of gold for Blanca, and has now begun to reap huge harvests.

Like many companies in San Martin, Buenos Aires, and La Plata, they now have backups, and now having a province behind them can also protect themselves very well.

In the past, things like security companies, police departments, and intelligence agencies were all fictitious. Only having the army in hand gave San Jose a sense of peace of mind.

The original San Jose was like a fattened white pig weighing 400 kilograms, full of fat, attracting attention. Although he had some combat power, if he encountered a real pig killer with a pig-killing knife, he would only be slaughtered. Now that he has obtained a provincial defense army, he has shrunk back, exercised his muscles, grown fangs, and thickened his skin, becoming a 300-kilogram wild boar with muscles all over his body, possessing basic self-protection capabilities, and slowly transforming into a fierce tiger that others dare not provoke.
