Rise of the Argentine Empire

The Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral is located on the northwest corner of the Plaza de Mayo. It is a historic and grand cathedral.

Completed in 1723, the cathedral has been rebuilt several times. Saint-Hesse saw the twelve tall Roman columns supporting the triangular pediment above.

The walls of the cathedral are engraved with stories from the Bible. The tomb of Argentina's national hero, General San Martín, is also located in this cathedral. Saint-Hesse planned to visit it. The general's tomb is buried on the first floor underground of the cathedral. After passing through the front porch of the cathedral, he saw the monument to General San Martín.

In 1950, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the general's death, a torch was lit here. It also symbolizes the flame of Argentina's freedom and is called 'Argentina's Flame'. Many people pay their respects in front of the San Martín monument, and Saint-Hesse was no exception.

Below the flame is written: 'Here lie the remains of General San Martín and other unnamed heroes of the War of Independence.'

"General San Martín participated in the establishment of the Lautaro revolutionary group and liberated Argentina, Chile, and Peru. He is the 'Liberator of South America', the 'Father of the Nation' and 'Founder of Freedom' of the three republics of Peru, Chile, and Argentina."

"General San Martín voluntarily handed over the most glorious fruits of victory and supreme power and honor that he had striven for throughout his life to his revolutionary partner and rival, Bolívar. Therefore, he has been praised by many people all over the world, who call him a soul almost unparalleled in history!"

Today, there were many people in the cathedral, and the priests guided them one by one. Saint-Hesse also pretended to be a devout believer and carefully worshiped in the church.

After going through a whole set of procedures, it must be said that the church is very good at manipulating people's hearts. Saint-Hesse also donated 1,000 pesos.

Of course, here he only saw a peaceful atmosphere. After all, there could not be anything special here. He also prayed earnestly to complete the task his wife had given him.

Anti-secular bishops regarded political violence as a tool in Peronism's holy war.

Yes, in the most extreme cases, the Argentine Church had considered holy war, but unfortunately, in the face of the violent machinery of modern states, these church fanatics could only be terrorists at best.

Later generations often said that Argentina has the most radical workers in the Americas, the most radical students in the Americas, and the most radical soldiers in the Americas.

In fact, they also missed one thing, that is, Argentina has the most powerful church in the Americas, and this situation has continued into the 21st century.

The workers have already stepped onto the political stage, the students are also moderates, the soldiers are honestly doing business, but the church has influenced all aspects of the current country.

Before Evita's death, the church was an important supporter of Perón. Now the two sides have turned against each other. The church has ambitions, and Perón is wary.

What Saint-Hesse dislikes about the church is that they still monopolize a part of education in Argentina. The anti-clerical movement weakened the power of the Argentine Church. Argentina promulgated the Law of Universal Education in 1884 and implemented secular education in schools.

Cardinal La Naboría was in his fifties, his hair dyed black, looking very strong, holding a glass of whiskey in his hand, gargling, and spitting it into the basin held by the nun. As a result, he shook it accidentally, and he kicked the nun down with his leather shoes.

The nun fell to the ground, very embarrassed, her body trembling, but she dared not cry. Immediately, two people came over to lift the nun away. The nun kept kowtowing and cried.

"I don't want to go to the small dark room, Bishop, I don't want to go..."

One of the men slapped her twice hard, and two red handprints appeared on her fair face instantly. The nun dared not speak anymore.

Someone else cleaned the floor, and La Naboría ordered:

"Lock her up for a few more days."

"Your temper is still so bad."

Manuel Tato licked his lips, took a glass of red wine, and said with a smile.

"These people are too unprofessional. They must be well-trained."

"You can leave it to me."

"Then she would probably die even faster. That Lolita you tortured last time, has she been taken care of?"

"It's been done a long time ago. She was sent to another place."

"Okay, let's talk about serious matters. Pay attention, don't do too much of this."

San Luis Copello said, he had a headache for these two people, they were playing too wildly.

"If they don't agree to hand over the Eva Perón Foundation to our church, we must also take necessary measures. After all, the loss of this is too great for our interests. We haven't received appropriations from the Presidential Palace for a long time, and the problem is too big if this continues."

San Luis Copello slammed the table fiercely, and the glass table rattled. He was the boss of the trio, and the other two followed him. He had the deepest prestige and was also the highest person in charge of the Argentine Church.

In Argentina, before Mrs. Perón, all kinds of charitable organizations were handled by the church, and the government issued subsidies.

This included huge economic benefits, and the foundation seriously damaged the interests of the church.

Before Mrs. Perón passed away, she had a particularly good relationship with the Vatican, and the church could not say anything, after all, the Vatican was the superior of the Argentine Church.

But after Mrs. Perón passed away, the differences between Perón and the church increased.

Canceling the foundation is just an excuse for the church. Their goal is to obtain the highest national power.

"With such great appeal, we should also establish our own political party, run for president, amend the constitution, establish the divine kingdom of the Lord on earth, and restore the previous power."

Manuel Tato stood up, looked out the window, took a sip, and then said.

"I also agree. I can't wait. We must re-establish more church schools, establish church universities, and expand religious research."

In 1953, the Argentine Church had 1,115 parishes, 2,561 church schools with 270,000 students, and 410 charitable organizations with more than 16,000 clergy. Despite having such a huge power, they were still not satisfied and greedily wanted to expand, establish universities, and develop religious studies.

"I still propose to reorganize the Bishops' Association into the Christian Democratic Party. This is completely feasible and has already received a lot of support."

The Argentine Church has strong material power and extensive political connections.

The church organizes the country into six archdioceses and sixteen main dioceses, and then uses systematic and purposeful propaganda to paralyze the vast majority of Argentines,

Especially the consciousness of women who do not participate in production. The church also has a permanent organization, the "Bishops' Association", whose members are mostly university presidents and professors, senior officials, senators and ministers, etc.

"Eva still made a contribution. After giving women and the lower classes the right to vote, as long as we can form a political party, no matter if it's the Justice Party, the Radical Party, the Republican Party, or the Democratic Party, none of these parties will be able to compete with us."

If Argentina's women's vote can truly establish a political party, then Argentina's power will greatly change, and it could really turn into a bishop being elected president, prime minister, minister, and high-ranking official.

A complete and utter historical regression.

"Yes, since Perón can't stop these strikes, then let's do it. We can do it. I don't want our country to become Russia. That would be terrible. Those guys in gray robes in Russia are already on the gallows."

Russia is the territory of the Orthodox Church, one of the three major branches. Gray-robed bishops are one of their characteristics, but under the heavy blows of the socialist iron fist, they have become obedient boys, completely accepting socialist transformation.

For the Argentine bishops, it is unbearable. How can honestly serving the people compare to eating and drinking extravagantly, only serving God is enough.

"This anarchy is intolerable! If we don't curb these labor movements, they will destroy us sooner or later!"

"Yes, after so many years, this chaos should end. I have been in contact with the military, and we will do something when necessary."

"And those guys from the Gospel of John Society are getting more and more hateful, absorbing our believers. We have to send people to smash their churches and seal them up!"

"That's not the most important thing. The main thing is that there are too few nuns joining our church now. I haven't tasted anything fresh in a long time."

"You have to be careful and don't get caught. I've said it several times, this is a very sensitive time."

"Okay, boss."

"Those guys at the New A Newspaper are stubborn. It's best to find someone to smash their newspaper office."

At the beginning of last month, a scandal of infringement and child abuse shocked Mendoza Province in northern Argentina. The plot of the story is comparable to a movie, but reality is always more cruel.

This matter only spread in northwestern Argentina. San Jose instructed the New A Newspaper to deliberately control the scale of the spread, after all, it is not yet the time for the final battle.

Perón instructed the local police department to arrest six male clergymen, two of whom were well-known local priests. They were accused of infringing on at least 124 local deaf-mute school minors.

The exposure of such a thing was also the result of the Falcon Bureau and the New A Newspaper, which caused the Mendoza Provincial Church organization to suffer heavy losses.

Many churches were permanently closed, and schools were also taken back into the hands of the government. Fanatics also broke out in conflicts and marches.

The New A Newspaper made publicity this time, pointing the finger at the church. Now it is regarded as a thorn in the side. The church instructed Mendoza's senior officials to talk to and suppress the spread of the New A Newspaper. San Jose didn't want to be too exposed, so he compromised, but the local church couldn't do anything about it.

"Try a few more times, if it doesn't work, then do it according to what you did."

"These people are spreading rumors, and I don't know where the news came from."

"It's also because they weren't careful over there and made it too big. It's really speechless."

"Anyone who wants to attack the Pope is just wishful thinking, to face the black hands who intend to create chaos within the church and hide in the shadows."

"I think it is very likely that someone is secretly playing tricks, and we must be vigilant at all times, and at the same time, don't give the Presidential Palace a handle."

They vaguely realized that there was a third force stirring up the water besides Perón, but they couldn't find out who it was. The situation of the New A Newspaper was just an accident, at least in the eyes of many people.

It's just that there have been too many accidents recently. The city of Bahía Blanca was also an accident. They suspected that someone was targeting them, but they had no clue.

"The people in Bahía Blanca have also been arrested, and the area is already out of control. Alas, the locals have also taken the wrong medicine. The local mayor's police department conducted a surprise inspection, and something really happened, cracking down on the church leadership and expanding the crackdown on the entire church."

San Jose directly removed the entire church in Bahía Blanca. The local situation is very pessimistic. The Bahía Blanca City Hall directly sealed it up and formed a document. It can be said that the Bahía Blanca Diocese has been erased from the map.

"Call the new bishop over there. If he doesn't do what we say, let him get out."

"Okay, I think it's okay, otherwise our losses will be too heavy. Bahía Blanca is the key church for our church facing the south."

"Also, what about Perón? He didn't agree and wanted to continue sealing our churches. We can't do anything about it. After all, the Presidential Palace is the highest authority."

"When necessary, we can ask the Vatican to expel Perón from membership and directly 'cripple' Perón's legs."

Archbishop San Luis Copello, who hadn't said much, said fiercely. He has the best temper among the three, and he said a vicious method.

This is a trump card that will once again severely damage Perón's reputation, and it is also a double-edged sword, representing a complete break with the Perón government.

"I think this method is good. If he really disagrees and continues to oppose us, then expel him from membership and let him step down in advance."

"My patience is limited. Make a final discussion before midsummer and issue a final ultimatum, otherwise we will directly expel him from membership."

Even if the church used to be as close as brothers with Perón, now that they have repeatedly become enemies, they will kill him hard.

These people continued to discuss many things. Recently, it is an eventful time, and many problems need to be solved.

San Jose left the church without any gain. After changing all his clothes, San Jose slowly came back to his senses.

.......

Since last year, the factories under the San Jose Group have had more and more workers, and the annual meeting is no longer suitable to continue. First, it is formalism, and second, it is not conducive to San Jose's guidance on the company's development.

Now more than a dozen large and small companies have fully developed. If we want to gather them one by one for a meeting, it is meaningless to issue instructions at all. San Jose has to use the vision of transcending time to formulate policies and artificially control these developments and go to these companies to hold individual meetings.

At present, the headquarters of the three major companies are in B City. Even if there are fewer people, B City, as Argentina's largest city and capital, has many advantages. San Jose summoned two companies and asked them to come to B City to make arrangements. After all, Argentina's current chaotic opening is also a good development opportunity, and we must make a comprehensive transformation and development.

These three major companies were originally a factory, not a complete system. Now that they are independent, they are also qualified to establish their own various departments and continue to grow, and Prari International, this international export channel, will also gradually transform and upgrade.

The headquarters of Blue Cloud Textile is in a place called Heran Street in B City. The headquarters is not very large. It was only planned to set up a headquarters at the end of last year. After all, there are more and more Blue Cloud textile shoe and apparel factories, especially two large textile factories with more than 6,000 people, plus garment factories and shoe factories, there are already 7 factories, and some supplier management, it is very troublesome without a general center.
