Rise of the Argentine Empire

To become a future Argentine tycoon, one must seek a good background. Being an ordinary soldier, no matter how much money you have, doesn't offer much of a future.

At best, you become a seasoned old soldier. A Gaucho's background determines that his upper limit won't be too high. And without graduating from military academy, he certainly won't get a good promotion, unless he can latch onto a powerful patron for support. Maybe he could become a company commander, but Saint Hesser doesn't want to be in that position.

There aren't many ways to seek a good background. For the current Saint Hesser, he can't count on his poor family, a remote rural nomadic tribe.

The fact that Saint Hesser was even able to become a captain is already a stroke of luck for his family. The current Moira tribe's Gaucho chieftain is nothing more than a descendant of someone who worked as a lackey for the governor, and later earned some extra money in past wars, monopolizing the position of chieftain for hundreds of years.

As far as Saint Hesser knows, the current powerful Argentine families are cultivating influence in universities, recruiting outstanding talents. Saint Hesser has heard of a certain Senator Champs, who latched onto the mayor's coattails and became a Cordoba city councilor in just a few years.

So, to paraphrase a saying, all other professions are lowly, only studying is noble. In Argentina's current society, this is still very useful.

Moreover, it's not enough for just Saint Hesser to study and review alone. Saint Hesser also plans to find people in his team who are willing and have the basic knowledge to train and study together, preparing to take the exam together in six months, to unite a group of talents.

Saint Hesser considers himself a common man, unable to be like those great people. He can only first unite the people from his hometown, and slowly influence the nearby Gaucho teams. Saint Hesser is not stingy with money, and directly rented a small building in a remote part of the city as a small stronghold, and found several school teachers to study together.

......

Saint Hesser took a little stroll around the city with the patrol team's motorcycle. As expected, it's just a big county town, of course, the area is very large, and there are universities and other facilities. It is considered very wealthy, at least much better than an ordinary county town in China, with the level of a fourth-tier city.

The planning is still quite primitive, leaving many buildings from the Governorate era. Sliding down from its peak in the 2000s, Argentina's entire society has almost stagnated in development, and the entire city is filled with a dull atmosphere of contentment with small wealth.

"This is a fertile land bestowed by God, and also a land cursed by resources," Saint Hesser muttered.

There are too few people. Now the entire Argentine Federation has only over seventeen million people, which is only equivalent to a mega-city in later generations of China, and this land seems to be more fertile than India, which is very outrageous.

Moreover, the weather conditions are also very good, with simultaneous rain and heat, and very few extreme weather events. It is one of the few fertile lands in the world.

In Saint Hesser's view, to become a world-class power, it is necessary to have at least seventy to eighty million people to support an ordinary version of an industrial system, or even at least one or two hundred million people.

Now Saint Hesser is very envious of the neighboring country, which has seventy to eighty million people. In a few decades, it will have more than two hundred million, close to three hundred million, while Argentina at that time will only have more than forty million, completely declining in the world.

Sure enough, it is good to encourage having more children. That country on the other side of the ocean, with everything waiting to be rebuilt, will fight the most powerful country in the world in a few years, and then confront the second most awesome country in the world a few years later, and then rapidly develop its own industrial system. It only took thirty years, and this country, which is now much more backward than Argentina, will become a world-class power, a military power, which is truly admirable.

Now Argentina's chaos is beginning to show, and there are some opportunities, and even not many major powers will interfere in this country, even the Great Britain thirty years later is only barely evenly matched, a little worse. It's a God-given opportunity, as long as Saint Hesser can seize it, it is danger, but also opportunity. Currently, there is only one problem, the government of this country is really too incompetent.

Gamble and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.

The Cordoba City government has now successively deployed the National Guard. The Cordoba City Guard, as the local head, is of course a little unhappy. The four major local families also have their own security teams, and security companies have been established in recent years.

If the City Guard can be said to be a third-rate army, then the National Guard can be regarded as a second-rate army, and the level of the security forces is militia level. However, the weapons are barely acceptable, mostly imported, but the level of combat, in Saint Hesser's view, is similar to a village fight, similar to the level of black uncles in Africa, at most fighting a counter-insurgency war.

Even the level of warlord infighting is much higher than them, like gang fighting. The entire city of Cordoba is starting to become tense, and even several murders have occurred.

The local police department has only a few hundred people, and they are extremely busy.

Saint Hesser, as a squad leader, has gradually figured out the scale of the city guard, with approximately 5,000 troops stationed, divided into 100 squads, conducting city defense and simple security maintenance, roughly equivalent to the size of a reinforced regiment.

The city government is also controlled by the city guard. Now that the National Guard wants to move in, it is a blatant slap in the face. Although our city guard is a weak chicken, if you, a newly appointed one, want to mess with me, you are still a little short. So the two sides began to conflict, and the security companies and local gangs, as third-party forces, occasionally intervened in both sides, back and forth, which looks quite lively.

In addition to figuring out the situation these days, Saint Hesser is also engaged in networking. After all, there are still quite a few people in the city guard, and about one-fifth are composed of Gauchos, which is considered a force of considerable size.

The small group is doing well. After a few days of being low-key, Saint Hesser began to become high-profile. Even though there are only a few hundred thousand Gauchos in the country now, starting from Cordoba, he constantly contacted various squads, including pure Argentine whites and Gauchos, by drinking, bragging, eating, and wandering around, and he really got to know many squad leaders and some figures.

Saint Hesser even, through bribing superiors and uniting Gauchos, vaguely has a tendency to become a strong backup candidate for the election of the battalion commander, after all, our Great Argentina is a democratic country.

This has caused dissatisfaction among some people.
