Rise of the Argentine Empire

The cleanup of White Light Avenue proceeded rapidly. Apart from a few quick-witted individuals, these violent gangs were no match for the army.

Virtually all the underworld gangs were wiped out. In the basements and warehouses, vaults, they discovered cash, illicit funds, dirty money, gold, and jewelry worth over 24 million US dollars, along with a large quantity of smuggled goods.

This crackdown severely impacted San Jose's opponents in Saint Hesser.

San Jose could imagine the fury of those self-important individuals as they smashed things in their hands.

Beyond the darkness.

This cleanup of Blanca City's underground forces also revealed some positive developments.

For example, the Lai'en Construction Company of Blanca City, one of the largest construction contractors in Blanca City, had grown from humble beginnings. Osho Lai'en could be described as a model of transitioning from the underworld to legitimacy. Compared to the controller of White Light Avenue, this man was a true survivor and adaptable.

Osho had a dark past, going from a dock worker to the boss of a construction company, but he had never been involved in murder cases, money laundering, or smuggling, which is why he received a lenient sentence.

......

On April 22nd, the election campaign for the second term of high officials in New La Pampa Province entered its final stage.

This election, aside from the minor episode on White Light Avenue, saw the Radical Party participate openly and fairly.

Compared to the Blanca City mayoral election, this one was more fair, just, and challenging.

To ascend to the power throne of La Pampa Province, Saint Hesser, along with high-ranking candidate Juan Passo, went all out. He took the entire La Pampa Radical Party team deep into every town in La Pampa Province, holding events almost every morning and afternoon without rest.

Everywhere he went, Saint Hesser delivered numerous speeches, made various promises for the development of La Pampa Province, explained his plans and insights, and outlined what he intended to do in the future.

With momentum building, his partner, Juan Passo, also provided significant assistance. His ability to become the head of Arta District, the most developed area in Blanca City, was a testament to Juan's capabilities, and the two had worked together in the investment promotion department for a long time.

Initially, their speeches were somewhat restrained, but as they became more experienced, Saint Hesser completely relaxed and became increasingly passionate, attracting large crowds of people wherever he went.

This time, he did not rely on large-scale funding for the election, but instead transformed into a results-oriented approach to complete the election.

He often drove around in a small Fiat car, accompanied only by essential personnel, conducting in-depth research throughout La Pampa Province and constantly preparing to adjust his development strategies.

He handed over all the work in Blanca City to his deputy mayor, Rostek, who was also the current second-in-command of the Radical Party in Blanca City.

Nania Dietrich, the candidate of the Justice Party-Socialist Party alliance, and Saint Hesser Koen, the candidate of the Radical Party, were engaged in the final showdown in the La Pampa Province Parliament Hall. In the eyes of most people, this election was already a foregone conclusion.

Saint Hesser led in the general election with a 70% approval rating, an overwhelming victory. Political novice Nania had not even exceeded 25%.

A total of 190,000 people participated in this La Pampa high official election, accounting for 74% of La Pampa Province's adult voters, including 39% female voters, a very impressive proportion. Blanca City alone had 90,000 participants.

Although it was less than Saint Hesser had hoped for, there were still a large number of people who did not vote. Before the arrival of the internet age, this was probably unprecedented and unrepeatable.

For the first time, Saint Hesser felt that he had become a true politician, and his mentality had also changed significantly.

The campaign slogan proposed by his campaign team this time was "Build a Stronger and More Prosperous New La Pampa Province."

Moreover, Saint Hesser presented a comprehensive and complete development plan for La Pampa Province. He planned to develop La Pampa Province into an economy exceeding 3 billion US dollars within his 4-year term, more than 6 times the previous year.

In the future, La Pampa Province would be a province with a relatively complete industrial system, with sufficient employment and job opportunities, addressing educational shortcomings, and advancing industry and agriculture in parallel.

He also wanted to fully develop the old provincial capital, Santa Rosa City, while the new provincial capital, Blanca City, would become a powerful engine for La Pampa Province.

Some tried to question the unreliability of Saint Hesser's plan, but they were quickly overwhelmed by Saint Hesser's enthusiastic supporters.

The Blanca City Radical Party almost triggered a nationwide election revolution in La Pampa Province, and it was quite successful.

Saint Hesser was very popular among young people, and among the foreign population in Blanca City, although many did not have the right to vote, they were his loyal supporters. These people spontaneously formed volunteer teams.

They followed Saint Hesser and campaigned throughout the province, forming spontaneous publicity groups. As a poor province, more than half of La Pampa did not live in cities. In the past, although these people had the right to vote, they simply had no opportunity to vote.

Saint Hesser encouraged all La Pampa residents eligible to vote to participate in the election. To stimulate the political enthusiasm of the people of La Pampa Province and attract more La Pampa voters to participate in the election, he stated in his speech that relying on farmers and herders to participate in the election was an important political strategy for his election as a high official in La Pampa Province. In the future, La Pampa Province will truly develop agriculture and help farmers and poor herders embark on the road to prosperity, instead of being exploited by large farmers and landlords.

One day, after the end of a campaign event, Saint Hesser also attended a local wedding ceremony and encouraged them to work hard to build a better New La Pampa.

Now, unlike the first provincial government, where only over 10,000 people participated in the voting, people gathered and began to go to the city's polling stations to vote. The balance gradually tilted. Saint Hesser had a 39% approval rating from the beginning. Starting on April 15th, the approval rating climbed steadily, gradually stabilizing at around 60%, then to 72%. The overall situation was truly set.

In addition to the Radical Party's base, the neutrals in this election almost all voted for Saint Hesser, and many people from the Justice Party and the Socialist Party also voted for Saint Hesser.

As for the La Pampa Province Parliament, that would be bullying. Many of the new members were Saint Hesser's people.

Saint Hecate cannot be said to be a subversive in this election, but in the eyes of many people in La Pampa Province, he has indeed become a savior-like figure, officially here to change La Pampa Province.

Saint Hecate promised that he would provide more employment, education, and greater fairness in the future.

Genius-like wisdom, excellent leadership skills, strong personal charisma, and most of the decisions made are almost correct, which has attracted the support of many people.

The people of La Pampa Province need a high-ranking official, and one who can lead them forward. Facts have proved that Saint Hecate has indeed done a good job.

Saint Hecate's greatest achievement is the rising star-like Blanca City, which has now become one of the top ten cities in South America and the second largest city in Argentina.

Many poor farmers and herders in La Pampa Province were invited to Blanca City to participate in the voting. Many came to Blanca City for the first time and were attracted by the high-rise buildings, deeply shocking many people.

Those who voted for Saint Hecate have reason to believe that La Pampa Province will also become strong in his hands.

Moreover, Saint Hecate himself is one of the founders of New La Pampa Province, striving for a sea outlet for La Pampa Province, increasing the development potential of this inland province by more than five times.

Who can make La Pampa Province rich and strong when they become a new high-ranking official? This is a huge question raised by the Saint Hecate team in the election, and the final choice of the people is Saint Hecate Cohen.

The voters of La Pampa and the people living here, the supporters of Saint Hecate, called this election the "Great Victory" and the "Victory of the Common People."

Saint Hecate was born poor, relying on his own hands, not only achieving himself, but also achieving more people.

Even many people, under his influence, are already eager to choose to join La Pampa Province in order to seize some opportunities.

In the final election, Saint Hecate defeated the latter with an absolute advantage of more than 50 percentage points, who received 21.25% of the vote.

On May 3, Saint Hecate was officially elected as the second high-ranking official of La Pampa Province and the first commander-in-chief of the La Pampa Defense Army, temporarily concurrently serving as the mayor of Blanca City until the end of the new mayoral election.

Saint Hecate said: "Thank you to everyone living in La Pampa Province, thank you for your support. I deeply thank my party, the Radical Civic Union, for its support. I also want to thank every party that has accompanied this challenge."

The Radical Party officially won two-thirds of the votes in the Senate and House elections in La Pampa Province this time, changing to fresh blood. This is a remarkable achievement, although the number of Radical Party members was even greater before, he compromised and stepped down from some positions.

Saint Hecate achieved victory with an absolute advantage this time, and also won the support of a group of young leaders from opposition parties such as the Socialist Party and the Democratic Party, which is also his huge gain. The La Pampa Radical Party also has many more allies, and the Justicialist Party has suffered even greater losses.

Saint Hecate has no doubt about the strong combat effectiveness and command ability of the Socialist Party, the Democratic Party, and the Republican Party, even if their organizational ability has been weakened in Argentina.

The current Argentine President General Aramburu called to congratulate Saint Hecate's work and the recognition of his team. He said on the radio that the new election in La Pampa Province showed a "deep commitment to the democratic freedom of Argentina's future" and encouraged the La Pampa Province's economy to continue to develop strongly, adding to the assistance of the great and free Argentine Federal Republic.

Patricia Bullrich, the leader of the important opposition Republican Party in Argentina, also personally congratulated Saint Hecate and affirmed that his campaign team showed that there were serious proposals in Argentina to end Peronism, which is commendable.

The next presidential and vice-presidential candidates of the Radical Party came from Buenos Aires to participate in the celebration of Saint Hecate's inauguration ceremony and had in-depth exchanges with Saint Hecate.

Arturo Frondizi, the current second-in-command of the Radical Party, congratulated the Radical Party on its complete victory at the inauguration event and wished La Pampa Province to continue to move forward and transform, to be rich and strong, under the leadership of Saint Hecate, just like the great Province of Buenos Aires.

In his victory speech, Saint Hecate also reviewed the ranking of high-ranking official candidates, and also the opposition Republican Party member Torgel Arias, who was seriously injured by a gunshot wound during a campaign speech in Santa Rosa. The case has not yet been clarified. He said that La Pampa Province will continue to implement strict measures to combat criminals.

Saint Hecate said, "I want to give Congressman Torgel and his family and his supporters a deep hug. This is a tragedy."

Saint Hecate added: "I have rejected violence all my life, but sometimes I have to face these thugs."

And hoped that Congressman Torgel could recover soon.

Amidst the cheers of nearly 300,000 people in La Pampa Province, Saint Hecate officially took over the scepter from the high-ranking official Lata in the Plaza de la Cosecha and took office as the new high-ranking official of La Pampa Province.

"Hello, Mr. High-Ranking Official!"

The power struggle in La Pampa Province has also ended. Saint Hecate quickly stabilized the situation in La Pampa Province and began to enter the La Pampa Provincial Government Affairs Hall.
