Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Iron Four Corners, which owns the Minas Gerais mining area, is Brazil's largest mineral resources company. It has 15,000 employees, produces hundreds of millions of tons of iron ore every year, has its own railways and ports, and can form a police station and army.

, in Brazil, the state of Minas Gerais can be called a country within a country.

This is also normal. Before the outbreak of the Brazilian Civil War, the Iron Four had already become the largest enterprise in Brazil. It was only after receiving the support of the Iron Four 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 operating rights to almost all mineral resources, including iron ore, petroleum, wood, niobium, manganese, titanium, etc. The scale of the enterprise further expanded, especially niobium, and Iron Four Corners' niobium production

, accounting for more than 80% of the world's niobium production.

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

Hilario now serves as the general manager of Umbrella Company's South American business, and also serves as a security affairs adviser to the United States of Brazil. The military of the United States of Brazil was born out of Umbrella Company and was established by Hilario.

"I just said that we can't imitate the noble Lord. Brazil is not southern Africa. We need a tougher president." Hilario is very happy. The opposition in Brazil has a lot to do with the acquiescence of Iron Four.

Before the autonomy of southern Africa, there were serious monopolies in many fields, such as South African companies in the food industry, Fawalt in the resource industry, and Nyasaland in the manufacturing field.

After Southern Africa became independent, Rock began to cultivate gu, breaking the monopoly of large companies in the field and ensuring 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 Dynamics headquartered in Port Edward are all very competitive.

The three companies have different focuses and have their own technical strengths. They complement each other and jointly monopolize more than 70% of the world's automobile market.

The remaining 30% is divided up by American car companies, but the consortium behind these three companies also has shares in American car companies.

In the field of resources, there are also many companies in southern Africa that are very powerful. Favalte and Adan are the giants in the iron ore and oil industries respectively. Iron Four Corners and Najd Petroleum are rising stars, and there are Katanga in the middle.

Although not well-known, it is still a large resource company with great strength. Southern Africa's advantages in mineral resources are unrivaled.

The current situation in Brazil is somewhat similar to that before southern Africa gained autonomy.

"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 cultivating a poison, but imitating the British to play balance.

For Vargas, a scholar, to stand out from the chaos in Brazil and overthrow the rule of the Triumvirate and come to power, the support of the Iron Four and the Umbrella is important, and Vargas's own ability is also worthy of praise.

Vargas is a very courageous man. After becoming president, he learned from 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 manufacturing that he aroused Fan Bao's vigilance.

As the back garden of Southern Africa, Brazil should honestly exploit resources and export them to Southern Africa, and just be a good supplier to Southern Africa.

What do you want to do to develop manufacturing industry?

Will it replace Southern Africa's manufacturing status, eventually get rid of its status as a resource-exporting country, and become a competitor of Southern Africa's manufacturing industry?

Although Fan Bao has become a Brazilian citizen, deep down he still considers himself a southern African.

Fan Bao also wants to return to Nyasalando City to return to the pastoral life after retirement. If he accidentally cultivates a large number of competitors for the manufacturing industry in southern Africa, Fan Bao will not be able to return even if he has a family.

Therefore, with the intentional or unintentional connivance of Iron Four, the opposition in Brazil became stronger and stronger, finally threatening Vargas's dominance.

"OK, now you have your wish. The situation in Rio is about to get out of control. Your opportunity has come. What are you going to do? Change a president?" Hilario sneered. He was not joking. Fan Bao really has this ability.

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

Even if Fan Bao himself wanted to be president, he would not have no chance, even if Fan Bao had a standard southern African face.

"If Mr. President is not aware of the problem, then it is not impossible to change him." Fan Bao was not satisfied with Vargas. Vargas had too many ideas. Wouldn't it be better to be an obedient president?

After the founding of the United Republic of Brazil, the headquarters of the Iron Square was moved from Belo Horizonte to the Port of Victoria, which was of course the rebuilt Victoria.

During the Brazilian Civil War, Victoria Harbor was almost completely destroyed, and 80% of the buildings were destroyed by the war.

After the war, Iron Four Corners took over the reconstruction work of Victoria Harbor and spent hundreds of millions of rands to build a brand new Victoria Harbor according to Southern African standards, using Victoria Harbor as Iron Four Corners' headquarters in Brazil.

After reconstruction, Victoria became larger than before and became a developed and modern port city. Large slums in the city were completely demolished and replaced by residential areas composed of apartments and residential buildings.

The wealthy area in the city center was transformed into a commercial district, and wealthy people moved to the outskirts of the city and lived in single-family villas with a beautiful environment. The headquarters of Iron Square Company is located in Pedro Square in the city center, next to the Victoria City Hall.

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

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

"Mr. Fan, on behalf of U.S. Steel, I formally protest to you. Why is the price of iron ore supplied to Fawalt by Iron Sijiao nearly double the price of iron ore supplied to U.S. Steel? This is a serious violation.

"You must give me an explanation for the agreement signed by Lord Nyasaland and President Roosevelt." Before Carlos could finish his words, he broke down and lay down on his chair with a smile.

U.S. Steel has always had an urgent need for iron ore. The best-grade iron ore in the world is all controlled by Southern African companies. Needless to say, Australia’s iron ore, and even Brazil’s iron ore are controlled by Southern African companies.

Control, which made U.S. Steel very dissatisfied.

Not long after the Iron Four Corners Company was established, disputes over iron ore arose. A large part of the cause of the Brazilian Civil War was iron ore. Even after the failure of the Brazilian Civil War, Americans still refused to give up on iron ore. As Carlos

It is normal for the leader of the local party that is the biggest opponent in Brazil to be chosen by the Americans.

Just look at the Iron Square now.

If Carlos defeats Vargas and becomes president of Brazil, U.S. Steel, which supports Carlos, will also receive huge rewards.

Obviously, Carlos went to the United States this time, reached some kind of agreement with the United States Steel Company, and also received a lot of sponsorship from Americans.

This is really a good business. Using American money to run for president of Brazil, you will be rewarded if you win, and there will be no punishment if you lose.

"Both the Iron Quad and Fawalt are the properties of Lord Nyasaland and Lord Fawalt. Is this explanation enough?" Fan Bao was annoyed. What Southern Africa needs is a stable Brazil, and what the Iron Quad needs is a stable Brazil.

Brazil can make the Iron Four make more money, but there is a contradiction between the two.

For the sake of a stable Brazil, Southern Africa can transfer some of its interests to Brazil.

Iron Sijiao is a commercial company whose sole purpose is to make money, and investing in Victoria is also for the purpose of making money.

Victoria is now Brazil's largest port on the Atlantic coast. More than 90% of the iron ore exported from southern Africa passes through Victoria, and timber exports also account for about 40% of Brazil's exports.

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

The key is to look at how to behave.

In the Southern African Union countries, there are many kings and presidents who are just messing around. If you really want to do something, the difficulty will be hellish.

"I heard that President Vargas has hired an American as his personal advisor. What does he want to do?" Fan Bao was wary of Vargas. This was clearly a hedging move.

From Brazil's standpoint, it is obvious that it is more beneficial to Brazil to have both sides of the fence between southern Africa and the United States.

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

"What else can I do? I am dissatisfied with the current situation in Brazil. Let me remind you that President Vargas is already sixty years old. If he doesn't work hard, he will be old." Carlos covered most of his face with the hand holding the cup, thinking the same thing.

A bit much.

This is what Gavin is most worried about.

If Vargas is not good enough as president, will it become better if he is replaced?

Impossible, it might be worse.

Maslow's five needs, from the lowest physiological to the highest self-actualization, Vargas is now at the fifth level and is working hard to pursue self-actualization.

Carlos is on the fourth level and needs everyone's respect.

Maslow and Carlos are not the same person, each represents an interest group, and there are many people behind them who rely on Maslow and Carlos to seek benefits.

To put it bluntly, it’s about making money.

There is only one president who can make enough money and strive for self-realization. If another president comes in, he still has to go through this process again. This is a gluttonous feast for a large group of people to divide the interests, one round after another without stopping.

Vargas has taken frequent actions in recent years. In 1934, he promulgated a constitution that stipulated for the first time that women have the right to vote.

In 1937, he used "social unrest" as an excuse to dissolve Congress and ban all political parties except the Liberal Alliance to consolidate his position.

In the same year, Vargas revised the 1934 Constitution, established a totalitarian government known as the "New State", and carried out political, social and economic reforms in Brazil.

Just last month, Vargas was preparing to found the Brazilian Labor Party, which finally triggered an outburst of Fan Bao's dissatisfaction with Vargas.

Born as a large rancher in Vargas, he came to power with the support of the Iron Four and the protective umbrella, representing the interests of southern African capital in Brazil.

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

Just 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 wants to set up a new stove, Fan Bao will definitely give him a heads-up.

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

Brazil is already in chaos, wandering between southern Africa and the United States. If the Russians intervene again, the situation will be even more serious.

If the Labor Party that Vargas wants to establish is the British Labor Party, the situation will not be serious.

If it were the Russian kind, it would be great fun.

"Probably not. The president has no chance to contact the Russians." Carlos said this with confidence, which fully demonstrated how well Carlos knew Vargas.

It's 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 decided to meet with Vargas first and then decide what to do.

Like Victoria Harbor, Rio after reconstruction also has a distinct 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 stops can be found everywhere, and everything is people-oriented.

Fan Bao wanted to see Vargas without making an appointment. Being able to take the initiative to come to Rio was already a great honor.

Vargas is still very enthusiastic about Fan Bao, 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, and allow everyone to coexist peacefully and stay away from the threat of war." Vargas looked sincere and seemed to really want to do something.

What.

"Have you considered the consequences of doing this? Even the Lord cannot guarantee that poverty can be eradicated in southern Africa. You cannot 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 always be satisfied with the status quo." 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 give up Vargas completely until it is irreversible.

"I know, but this is my choice, and I hope you support me, my friend, just like you have always supported me fully." Vargas hopes to get the support of Fan Bao.

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