Rise of the Argentine Empire

After chatting for a while, the two were just about to go to the cafeteria for a meal.

Knock knock knock knock knock knock, someone was knocking on the door.

"Please come in."

"Director, a message has arrived from Bolivia."

A young telegraph operator from the Falcon branch outside handed a telegram to Guerrero.

After reading the message, Guerrero excitedly slapped the table, startling the two people in the room.

"Reply to Sucre and La Paz to maintain contact and wait for the situation to change, then send a detailed report to the boss."

"Okay."

"Bill, today is Bolivia's day. That guy Paz succeeded. His uprising was successful, and he became the President of Bolivia. The former military government has fled. Should we arrange for someone to take them out?"

"No need to meddle in other people's business. We'll just follow the boss's instructions."

"The Falcon Bureau's informant in Bolivia has sent a telegram. A people's armed uprising broke out in April, and Paz Estenssoro, the leader of the Nationalist Revolutionary Movement, has taken office as President. It's estimated that it will be a major headline in South America in a few days."

Guerrero added that although Paz had successfully seized power, he still needed to stabilize the internal situation and prevent foreign interference, especially from the Americans.

"That's indeed good news. Perhaps our Thunder Mining can go and have a go with the Americans. The boss has been longing for Bolivia's iron ore, and by the way, there are also gold and silver mines there."

"Yes, but I don't know if that guy Paz still remembers the old days."

Guerrero wasn't too excited. Investment is risky, and you need to be cautious when entering the market, especially since this is a Series B venture capital investment.

"That's true. We're getting ahead of ourselves. Let's eat first."

"The universe is so vast, and we are just a small part of it."

… …

Cohen Consulting,

San Jose was a little bored as he looked at the recent intelligence analysis reports and the financial statements of various companies. He had a bit of a headache because most of them were asking for money.

"Boss, take a look at this telegram. It was just sent from the Potassium Triangle."

Andrew knocked on the door and came in with the telegram.

"Okay, let me see."

San Jose took it, glanced at it, and put down the intelligence report in his hand.

"Take it and destroy it. I didn't expect that guy Paz to be so powerful that he could become the President of Bolivia."

"Boss, should we send more people from the Potassium Triangle over there?"

"Not for the time being. Safety first. Let Thunder Mining make preparations in advance and recruit people."

"Yes, the operations in Australia are also doing well. We've bought a lot of mines. We still need you to worry about the funding."

"With that batch of funds from the Andes Cigarette Factory, it should be able to ease the situation."

"Understood. Then, Boss, I'll go and get busy."

The Bolivian matter was just an extra benefit. Mining, especially the Mutun iron ore, was just a concept and was in the hands of the Indian tribes. Moreover, the funds were too dispersed now, and the invested industries were too involved, which was not a good thing.

The result of being a jack-of-all-trades is complete failure, or rather, complete mediocrity.

Regret is common. Bolivia opposes the Americans. They want to take the socialist path, which makes them natural allies with San Jose. It's good to attract some firepower. Moreover, Bolivian laborers and immigrants are also crucial to Argentina.

Bolivia has a higher birth rate than Paraguay and Uruguay, and with good development, it's easier to expand the population base. South America is good in every way, except that there are too few people.

If South America had billions of people, it would be another center of the world. After all, South America is too far from the world center of the Old Continent, and it's also tens of thousands of nautical miles away from the United States. South and Central America are the least developed in the New World.

Even North America now has less than 300 million people, and South America has even fewer. There is an urgent need for a self-sufficient population explosion, otherwise, he wouldn't know who to sell things to in case of a trade blockade. The future Southern Common Market must be led by Argentina, not by Argentina and Brazil together.

San Jose drove to the Radical Party's Propaganda Department and directly conveyed the news of Bolivia to the Propaganda Department. This was a very good propaganda opportunity.

Of course, this decision still needed to be reported to the Radical Party headquarters, and the Propaganda Department couldn't promote it randomly.

"Uh, things are very simple. What those in power possess are only things that money can buy, but in Bolivia, you can get everything that is inspired by faith."

It's just a pity that the cycle is very long.

After finishing the matters at the Propaganda Department, San Jose went to Professor Pukins's house again.

There's nothing going on at home, so I need to work harder.

"Professor, I've decided to go to the United States with you for the inspection."

San Jose considered it seriously and felt that it was indeed a good opportunity, especially.

"Oh? You've finally figured it out. That's a good thing. When the time comes, I'll introduce you to a few American law professors. You can go to the United States to study for a postgraduate degree."

Pukins took off his glasses and said to San Jose.

"Professor, I don't think I need that. I don't want to develop in academia now. I think the motherland needs me to develop in other areas."

San Jose shook his head. The law department of the University of Buenos Aires was just a prestigious brand used for gilding, not for making a living. If he had only wanted a secure job, he might as well have stayed in the army honestly.

Now time is precious. He can't wait to graduate this year. What's the point of studying for a postgraduate degree? By the time he finishes, Argentina will be completely ruined. He might even be able to live better if he became an American traitor.

"Well, that's true. Law can't save Argentina, and neither can medicine."

"Professor, let me tell you a secret. The Bolivian revolution has succeeded. Their former Minister of Finance, Paz, has successfully become the President."

San Jose said mysteriously.

"Paz? This name sounds a bit familiar. Isn't this the person who became President last year and was then overthrown by the Americans? He even came to our Buenos Aires to seek support, but not many people supported him."

"Yes, just the other day, the Bolivian Nationalist Revolutionary Movement and the Republican Party, led by him, launched a major uprising. The leader of the Republican Party was killed, and now the Nationalist Revolutionary Movement has seized all power."

Bolivian military government soldiers were called "American lackeys" by the Bolivian people. The military government's army was wiped out by the morale-boosted rebel army. The rebel army successfully occupied the La Paz Air Force Base, the last stronghold of the military government. The Bolivian national uprising finally ended with a complete victory for the rebel army.

"The Bolivian military junta does not represent the interests of its own people, but the interests of the United States. It's normal for them to be overthrown."

"Yes, if their own government sells itself to the United States, it's normal for the people to oppose them."

"The Bolivian military junta is completely dictatorial. The entire country has less than 200,000 voters. Their oligarchic parties, such as the Conservative Party, the Liberal Party, and the Republican Party, control elections through violence and bribery."

The Republican Party in Bolivia isn't really pure; it's just a case of false advertising.

The War of the Pacific resulted in the loss of access to the sea, and the Chaco War more than a decade ago resulted in the loss of the Gran Chaco, indirectly destroying the oligarchy. From 1938 to 1951, the restrictions on voters in Bolivia were reduced somewhat, but were still limited to educated adult male citizens, and only a small number of citizens gained political participation opportunities.

"It can be said that the political situation in Bolivia is much darker than in Argentina. Moreover, they are too closed off. They have failed in several wars, and they don't have their own access to the sea. They can't even beat Paraguay. It's just a feudal colonial state."

Pukins has a relatively clear understanding of Bolivia. It's just a feudal society disguised as capitalist, where Indians, peasants, workers, and the poor have no voting rights.

Bolivia is a landlocked country in South America, bordering Brazil to the northeast, Paraguay to the southeast, Argentina to the south, Chile to the southwest, and Peru to the west. It is a landlocked plateau country in South America, with a land area of 1.09 million square kilometers, ranking fifth in South America.

"Yes, Cohen, pay more attention to your studies in the future. I will help you with all the procedures for going to the United States."

"Okay, Professor."

… …

The next day, at Thunder Mining,

They are now organizing a brand-new, large-scale, professional mineral exploration and mining team, with a market size comparable to that of Western Australia.

Guerrero has also recently been working part-time in charge of security here and can offer them some advice.

"Our goal is to go to Santa Cruz Province and, by the way, get a mine. The boss firmly believes in Bolivia."

"Understood. Besides this, what other support is needed?"

"We should send a security force to ensure more contact with the people of Bolivia and strive to buy that large piece of land. It is also crucial to establish a truly Bolivian local company."

"The first impression of Bolivia is poverty, poverty, poverty… But it is a poor country with a bit of stubbornness. As a backward country, it dares to directly slap the United States in the face, and the United States is too embarrassed to deal with it. If it develops into a jungle guerrilla war, it is estimated that this will be a new Afghanistan."

"They prefer the evolution of coups rather than specific military action. The Americans are probably also afraid of the Bolivians rising up and causing trouble."

"Perhaps the United Fruit Company of Latin America will also have to be wiped out? Their caudillo's political maintenance is no longer sustainable."

Bolivia dares to be the face of South American scenery, not only with dreamlike salt flats, but also towering mountains, mysterious volcanoes,

Vibrant rainforests, clear and limpid lakes… The famous Red Lagoon, Lake Titicaca, the sacred lake of the Incas, as well as the Witches' Market and the White City, are all must-see places in Bolivia…

The environment and natural conditions are much better than that imperial graveyard in Central Asia.

This is the country with the highest average altitude in the world, which is very suitable for developing jungle guerrilla warfare.

"We can also export various weapons suitable for the terrain. They haven't had anything good before."

"Strive to get along well with the people of Bolivia. When poor, observe tactics."

"Keep an eye on the Americans. They should be very unhappy."

"Haha, their efforts of several years have been wasted. Paz is not so easily fooled. I'm happy when the Americans fail. They treat the Americas as their backyard. Serves them right."

San Jose fully exercised his angry youth mindset, frantically complaining.

San Jose can only use the way of national interests. Rhein Military Industry will export more arms in the future. This is a very good testing ground. Jungle guerrilla warfare is also an art of war.

"The United States is actually amazing. They were able to build such a powerful country in North America. We should learn more from them, it's just that the dragon slayer has become an evil dragon."

He didn't comment on San Jose's words. Young people are more radical, it doesn't matter. Although Pukins admired the United States, in essence, he still loved his country very much. Otherwise, he would have many opportunities to leave here. The Yale Law School is opening its doors to him.

… …

These are all trivial matters. Speaking of Rhein Mining Company, it is necessary to mention Western Australia. There has been a lot of good news coming back.

To be honest, Argentina is very, very far from Australia. Until the 21st century, there were no direct flights between the two countries. Currently, the fastest sea freight from Perth to Buenos Aires takes 30 days, and that's if nothing unexpected happens along the way.

Western Australia is located in the western part of the Australian continent, bordering the Indian Ocean to the west and the Pacific Ocean to the north. It is the state with the richest mineral resources in Australia.

Rhein Mining needs to constantly find and develop new mines.

One trick, eat all over the world, this is also very suitable for Rhein Military.

Now the monthly output of Rhein Arms Factory, the output of special Rhein suits has exceeded 30,000, and the orders are lined up to the horizon. The continuous profit is just that the settlement cycle has increased a lot of time.

The scale of Rhein Military has not continued to expand. In Argentina, the Buenos Aires Provincial Police Department is the largest police force in Argentina, belonging to the provincial government, and its main responsibility is to ensure public safety.

Rhein Military has some long-term cooperation! 1. The improvement of assault rifles has also been on the right track, and Host has started to arrange small-scale mass production of new firearms with mechanical experts.

San Jose sat alone in the dark bedroom, everything is fine, only enough money is needed to promote it.

The Parana River flows forward forever, just don't know when it will succeed.

… …

In order to expand its influence among young people, the New Youth League has expanded its target to various sports events in addition to conventional means.

Argentina is a football powerhouse, at least until the twenty-first century, it has always been a super football power.

For economically underdeveloped South American countries, football is a very important consolation.

"President, we have organized an Argentine University Football Cup in a few days, you must come and support us."

Powell took a handwritten document and handed it to San Jose. He carefully looked at it and it made a lot of sense.

"Ideology must be unified, and there must be no heresy."

"Of course I will come. Don't worry about this. I will let them expand their influence and transfer the money lost back. Everyone has some time off work."

"Okay, President, it's up to you!"
