Rise of the Argentine Empire

On June 11th, at 2 PM,

After a light lunch of beef, General Jose wasn't in high spirits.

After they discussed the arrangements, precautions, and subsequent responses, the meeting concluded.

Saint-Hesse also had to return to City Hall to oversee things and prevent anyone from causing trouble amidst the chaos.

Jose would issue a statement at the Ministry of Defense, strongly condemning the rebellious air force and navy elements, and declare that Puerto Belgrano supported the Argentine Presidential Palace's rule.

"Dr. Tank, let's go back."

Saint-Hesse found Dr. Tank and his engineer assistant, who were discussing issues with naval aviators.

"Alright, Mayor."

The production and manufacture of any aircraft require the best team of engineers and experienced workers.

As the chief engineer, Dr. Tank was somewhat wasted in Argentina, but as Saint-Hesse controlled more and more funds, the research and development environment in Argentina had improved.

If they could develop the Arrow 2, then there would be no regrets.

The naval command of Belgrano now belongs to a small area north of the Alta district in Blanca City.

By water, it is only 10 kilometers back to the East District, but by car, it is 16 kilometers, and the road is not easy to travel.

Today, they came by yacht, oh no, by official boat.

The group walked towards the pier where the official boat was docked, and soon arrived.

From a distance, they saw an official boat quietly docked in the military harbor of Alta North.

It was dwarfed by the ten-thousand-ton cruiser "October 17th."

The yacht's hull was painted white, making the ship appear more slender.

The bow was like a sharp sword, and the deck had two levels of cabins.

They went up to the passenger cabin behind the captain's cabin on the second level.

Saint-Hesse casually found a window seat and sat down, closing his eyes to rest.

The others stayed in the passenger cabin on the first level.

The cabin was fitted with tempered glass, and the interior design and decoration were minimalist.

This official boat was half-sold and half-given.

The tempered glass on the official boat came from the Sean Glass Factory in Cordoba City, which was originally acquired by Prarrie Foods.

Initially, it specialized in producing various canned food glass jars and soda bottles.

Later, after merging with a larger state-owned glass factory, based on the principle of keeping the wealth within the family, it began to produce and sell construction glass for the real estate industry in San Martin City at that time.

Later, it also increased investment and produced marine glass.

Now, it is also planned to be under the management of Maya Chemical, or directly independently accounted for.

The smaller May 25th heavy cruiser has already been taken to the shipyard in the east of the Lingang Industrial Zone for modification.

This official boat was built by Sanhai Shipyard and now belongs to the state-owned assets of the City Hall.

It was named "Otto" by Saint-Hesse to commemorate the former mayor Otto Leif, who died in the turmoil, and is now Saint-Hesse's official dedicated boat.

The 580-ton fishing boat produced by Sanhai Shipbuilding is the TS-52A model, and the design and construction process has been quite mature.

It can be modified into a passenger ship or yacht.

The modified fishing boat is named the TS-52C model passenger ship, with a displacement of 600 tons, a length of 52 meters, and a width of 10 meters.

If it is a passenger ship, it can also provide 300-400 comfortable berths.

The first fishing boat designed and manufactured by Sanhai Shipyard was relatively more expensive, but it was still much cheaper than imported fishing boats.

But it is still very unaffordable, the reason is nothing more than belonging to marine fishing boats, long-term in the marine environment, requires corrosion-resistant special steel.

At the beginning, imported steel was also used, which was more expensive.

The hull construction cost of the boat accounts for more than half of the total cost of the boat, which mainly includes material purchase costs and labor costs.

Now the labor cost in Argentina is not expensive, the bulk is the cost of various materials, especially the cost of steel.

At that time, Argentina's domestic steel production was low and the price was very expensive, which invisibly increased a lot of production costs.

With the commissioning of the La Plata Steel Plant, the price of steel in the Argentine market has fallen by more than half, greatly reducing production costs.

Passenger ships are sold to some passenger transport companies, and brackets can also be installed on the bottom of the hull, hydrofoils can be installed, and the cabins can be redesigned to meet the needs of La Plata River shipping and Argentine coastal shipping.

The buoyancy provided by the hydrofoil will lift the hull out of the water, thereby greatly reducing water resistance to increase sailing speed.

In addition, there is also the TS-52B cargo type, which is much cheaper than the A-type fishing boat, and can reduce many unnecessary cabins.

Saint-Hesse and his party left on the Otto, and many port facilities were under construction along the coast.

Soon after, they returned to Blanca City.

Now the administrative division of Blanca City is an irregular truncated circle, which looks a bit like a polar bear walking with its head down.

The official boat was docked at the port of White Town.

Dr. Tank now lives in the east of Green Wayne Street in the East District, which is very close to the Lingang Industrial Zone.

Green Wayne Street was originally Green Wayne Town to the east of the Fifth District, and now it has been merged into the East District, east of Columbus Avenue.

This was originally a suburb, close to the National University of the South.

With the support of Saint-Hesse, the National University of the South acquired 1,200 acres of surrounding land and several small farms to build and expand the campus.

In order to meet the work and life needs of the flight designer team, Saint-Hesse has specially built a closed industrial park here.

This small factory + housing covers an area of 500 acres, leaving enough reserve land.

It was named San Martin Aviation Industrial Park by Saint-Hesse.

A little further east of the industrial park is the new campus of the Blanca City Higher Vocational School.

The entire design institute is specially set up for designing and optimizing Arrow 2, and most of the engineering team has been transferred from San Martin City to here.

In order to cope with the shortage of personnel in the engineering team, he also set up an aircraft manufacturing school here, named San Martin Aviation Industry School.

The situation in San Martin City is no longer suitable for the existence of the design institute, after all, it is a project with investment but little output.

The finances of San Martin City cannot invest too much money in it, and they don't really understand the high-end industry of aircraft manufacturing.

The subsidiary factory was left in San Martin City, and the main body of the small aircraft factory and various equipment were moved to Blanca City.

Dr. Tank and others are quite satisfied with the development of this aviation industrial park.

The city hall also gave enough importance to it.

San Jose also arranged the non-ferrous metal laboratory of La Plata Special Steel Plant in this industrial park, in addition to the special glass laboratory.

Bruno Abel's Bruno Radio Factory was also moved here to help design and produce an airborne radio equipment.

Leidun Machinery Factory also set up a small branch here to help process various equipment parts and stamp outer warehouses.

After San Jose returned to the city hall, he began to arrange various precautions. This coup has nothing to do with him.

Even Cordoba was a little confused about this coup.

Cordoba's military leader, Lornardi, was also quite dissatisfied with the assassination planned by this group of brats.

Fortunately, it didn't succeed.

The Presidential Palace threw the main culprits into prison.

......

With the continuous rise of the tobacco industry in Salta Province, Jujuy Province, which has a relatively worse environment and is more backward, is also slowly merging and developing towards Salta Province.

Oran itself has a large population and a good foundation. Before San Jose came, there were almost 60,000 people in this city, which is a relatively large city in Argentina.

Thunder Mining has become the largest mining company in these two provinces, not only mining coal stoves, but also constantly exploring various other mines.

Especially in Jujuy Province, a plateau town, Morado Town, has emerged, with a population of more than 22,000, which is more than double the original plan. Many poor Bolivians will come here to work, and it is now one of the largest towns on the plateau.

Morado Town is an important base for the Falcon Bureau. The weather here is like... The first mayor was Matisse, an important member of the Falcon Bureau, who is also responsible for the economy of Morado Town and supporting the development and growth of several factories in the town.

Such as Thunder Mining's potash plant, Andes First Cigarette Factory, Alpine Tobacco Planting Farm, Thunder Mining, Maya Chemical Plant, all provide a large number of jobs here.

Among them, Thunder Mining has carried out large-scale development of the salt lake area in the Puna Plateau in the northwest, extracting potash salt and iodine salt. Maya Chemical Industry has also set up a factory here, using various mineral salts mined for processing and experimentation.

The Puna Plateau area is good in everything, but it lacks water resources, which is also a common problem in the Jujuy Province area, far less than the development potential of Oran City.

Morado area has hot and dry climate during the dry season. The landform is mainly mountainous and plains formed by river erosion. The small plains are surrounded by rolling mountains and desert plateaus.

Many mountains in the two provinces are still in an undeveloped state, and there are still some sparse trees, turning this place into a unique landscape of nature. This place still has the tranquility of nature.

In addition to the settlements and villages, there are these few plateau towns.

Morado Town, City Hall,

Bill Bernard, the person in charge of the Falcon Bureau in the Northwest, poured mate tea into the cup, covered the mouth of the cup with his hand, shook it thoroughly to mix, then piled the tea into a slope, inserted a straw with a filter, poured in 80-degree hot water that had cooled for a while, and refilled it after drinking. This is the standard way to drink mate tea.

Then he handed it to Matisse, and the two fully exchanged views and opinions, preparing to arrange the things ordered by San Jose.

Pulari Foods plans to build a wine brewing factory here. The temperature difference between day and night in Jujuy Province and Salta Province is large, but there is little irrigation water, which is extremely inconvenient.

However, San Jose is knowledgeable and experienced. After learning about the difficulties of the vineyard, he creatively developed drip irrigation technology. However, the production of drip irrigation supporting technology is still in preparation, which involves products such as valves, filters, and pressurized water pumps.

For this reason, a factory needs to be set up specifically, but because the production is relatively rough, it still needs to be further optimized, and San Jose has already asked people to prepare it.

"Bill, what do you say about our place now, several surrounding towns want to join here, but how can so many people develop?"

As the mayor of Morado Town, Matisse feels a great responsibility, and now his hair is thinning a lot.

Morado Town has greatly exceeded the population load, and several surrounding towns have run to the outside of the town, forming a gathering place for poor people around Morado Town.

"Develop the textile industry, especially the wool textile industry. The conditions here are very suitable for raising alpacas and sheep. This is also the boss's suggestion."

The capital of Oran County is located in Oran City. It is adjacent to Bolivia in the north and Paraguay in the east. It covers an area of 11,892 square kilometers, which is similar to the situation in San Martin City.

Now the population of Oran City has exceeded 100,000, and there are more and more factories here.

Most of the stowaways from Bolivia come here.

The climate and environment of Oran City are actually very good, much better than Jujuy City and Salta City. There is a large river passing through, and the upper reaches are very suitable for building hydropower stations.

The hydropower station project has been proposed for many years, but it has not been implemented.

The National Ministry of Finance does not have that much money to invest, and the high-voltage electricity technology is not very mature.

The wood processing factory has also developed. Wood from neighboring Paraguay and Bolivia is transported here and turned into wood.

As for the paper mill, it originally existed, but it was abandoned because of too much pollution.

Coal mined from Salta Province is also transported here for primary processing.

The mayor of Oran City, Gilat Vansel, is now also supported by Bill Bird.

Oran City is developing quite rapidly.
