One Thousand and Seventy, to Do Big Things, You Have to Be Bolder

When Xiao Feng came to Bronze Country for the first time before, Chen Yonglu drove to the capital Santiago to pick him up.

At that time, he lived in the home of one of his uncles, and that uncle, Antonio, seemed to be a high-ranking member of the military.

And now someone is planning to attack them in Tongguo, but Chen Yonglu doesn't seem to know anything about it.

This made Xiao Feng feel a little surprised.

"Ah? What's the matter? During this time, I spent most of my time on the Kalapago Islands."

"I have been following up the construction of the island and the progress of various constructions. I really haven't paid much attention to San Diego."

"How about calling Uncle Antonio and asking?"

While talking, Chen Yonglu turned his head to look at his sister Bella.

And Bella rolled her eyes helplessly: "You, you, how many times have I told you that I often come to Ithaca to take a look."

"Hi! Actually, in San Diego, the question about Ithaca has become a hot topic recently."

"After all, we have made such a big commotion here, and it is impossible for the other side to not know about it."

"The national tax authority has been trying to move into Ithaca and the Kalapago Islands recently, but there has been a lot of controversy in the capital."

"The Juan we arranged, and Congressman Gualado, have also been helping us fight for our rights..."

It seemed that Bella was more familiar with the situation in San Diego, so she introduced it to Xiao Feng.

It turns out that their Ithaca region is strictly speaking an autonomous region in the Copper Country.

In fact, it is a buffer zone for the people of the Copper Country to stay in the north to guard against the Bolivians and the Peruvians.

After entering the twentieth century, the border issues between countries on the South American continent were basically stabilized.

This is no longer the front line, but the original autonomous region is still preserved.

After all, he had sacrificed his life and shed blood for the people of the Tong Kingdom back then, so this autonomous region was not called for nothing.

Compared with other provinces and cities in the Copper Country, they not only have a certain degree of autonomy, but the most important thing is in terms of taxation.

They and the Copper Country adopted a tax package system, that is, no matter how much the Ithaca region produces every year, they always pay a 5% tax package.

In fact, this is also a discount in disguise that they got for working hard for the Copper Country back then.

Later, because the Ithaca area has always been relatively barren and the production is not high, the mineral resources are basically exhausted.

So the Copper Country government didn't take taxes in the Ithaca area too seriously.

But until recently, the situation has been different.

Due to the injection of a large amount of Huaguo capital, the Ithaca area has suddenly undergone earth-shaking changes.

With the rapid development of the city, various new commercial companies have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

This made some people in San Diego feel jealous.

Especially the liberal Senator Jurado, who is now a liberal star and a lawyer.

It is said to be a strong contender for the next president.

Recently, these guys have been advocating to reset the tax relationship between the Ithaca region and the central government.

There was even talk of revoking Ithaca's self-made privilege and nationalizing the county.

And his good friend in the military, Captain Franco of the Navy, has been promoting it in the media recently.

It is said that the people in the Ithaca area are betraying the interests of the country, and they have approved a large number of fishing boats from the Hua Kingdom to fish in the fishing grounds of the Copper Kingdom.

Moreover, it also rented out several islands to Huaguo's companies. This is completely selling out the national interests of the Copper Kingdom.

Of course, the people placed by the Chen family in San Diego are not vegetarians either.

The speech situation of these two people was counterattacked.

The representatives they arranged in Santiago, Juan and Guardo, have been arguing with guys like Jurado and Franco.

And because the Chen family came forward to suppress it behind the scenes, these news did not make a large number of news media in Tong Country.

If not, with the peeing nature of these South Americans,

I'm afraid those aborigines have already turned upside down.

When the Ithaca area was poor, they didn't pay much attention.

But now that the Ithaca area suddenly becomes rich, what do you think these guys will do?

In the past, the upper rulers of these countries had a bad habit.

That is, whenever the domestic economic situation is unstable, they will condone the rioting people to smash and loot.

The targets of smashing, smashing and looting are mainly company stores opened by Chinese immigrants.

Such situations have long been common in Argentina, Brazil and even other South American countries.

In the eyes of these rulers, Chinese immigrants and their property are the punching bag of the people.

Once they encounter conflicts that they cannot resolve, or when the economy is in crisis, they will let the people come out to make trouble.

And every time the victims are basically Chinese merchants.

The situation in the Copper Country is slightly better, mainly because of the buffer zone of Ithaca.

Moreover, the grandparents of the Chen family were more shrewd in the early years, adopting the means of integrating into the local society early.

For example, they converted to Catholicism and intermarried with local people in large numbers.

This allowed them to take root in the Copper Country and have such political resources.

What's more, there are Celebrity Chef Group and Southern Cross Bank in the local area, give them a helping hand?

Today's famous chefs have opened all over the streets and alleys of Tongguo.

This kind of Chinese fast food is very popular in the local area, especially after the restaurant has greatly increased the variety of food suitable for local people's tastes.

The popularity of this celebrity chef has caught up to the Golden Arches.

Because they all adopt the method of cooperating with local local snakes, the famous chef group has a lot of influence in Tongguo.

Now that someone actually wants to use Ithaca as an issue, the people from the Celebrity Chef Group are naturally not happy.

And once they are unhappy, those local cooperating head snakes will stand up and speak out.

After all, they only opened a store, and they don't need to do anything, and they can get free dividends every month.

Where can such a good thing be found?

Now if someone troubles the Chinese people, that is to trouble them.

So now many small and medium-sized owners have also jumped out to criticize Jurado.

This has made Jurado's bill very controversial in Congress recently.

What's more, there is Southern Cross Bank, standing behind Ithaca?

Now this bank has quietly become one of the most powerful banks in Tong Country.

In just over a year, the scale of assets has swelled to more than tens of billions of dollars.

Invested in many projects in Copper Country.

The new subway project in the capital, Santiago, has this bank's loan investment.

There is also Copper National Petroleum, a new refinery in the Ithaca area, which also has investment from this bank.

Moreover, they have also invested in many agricultural projects in the Copper Country, and even many old family mining companies have also taken loans from this bank.

Now someone dares to talk about the Ithaca area, which makes Ms. Jesse, the CEO of Southern Cross Bank, very unhappy.

So many politicians also stood up and bombarded Jurado one after another.

I think his proposal is simply nonsense.

We people from the Tong Kingdom are very trustworthy. How can we tear up the agreement signed with others in the Ithaca area before?

Besides, if you want to tear up the agreement, then you have to look at what you paid before?

More than a hundred years ago, the country did not collect much tax from the Ithaca area.

But the investment in this area is also not much!

Now that they have developed well, they have to reach out. What is the difference between this and a robber?

Anyway, a group of political bigwigs jumped out and bombarded Najurado with blood.

When his proposal first started, there was quite a commotion, but it has died down recently.

But his stalwart ally, Captain Franco, insisted on sending the navy to patrol the vicinity of the Kalapago Islands.

And a naval base will be built near the Kalapago Islands.

Where to defend homeland security and national interests.

But this plan has never been passed by Congress.

It can be said that Congressman Jurado, who had already died down on taxation, quietly worked hard behind this proposal.

I want the naval warships to come here sooner, and I want to paint Plum Blossom Island as their home port.

This is the news from San Diego that Bella Chen has recently collected and sorted out.

After hearing this, Chen Yonglu couldn't sit still anymore, and he slammed the table.

"These bastards, you bastards, when our Kalapago Islands didn't develop, they didn't even take a look at them."

"Now that it has developed, they will come to pick peaches and set up a military base on our island, what a mother!"

Chen Yonglu jumped his feet angrily, while Xiao Feng calmly analyzed the pros and cons.

"Where's your uncle Antonio?"

He asked Bella to.

"He's from the Army, and he's getting old, and he's going to retire in a year."

"so……"

Before Bella finished speaking, Xiao Feng already understood that it seemed that he was about to leave, and it was difficult to speak well.

"He seems to be in his fifties? Is he going to retire so early?"

"He doesn't want to retire either, but his grade, he wants to go up, but he can't go up."

"Continuing to stay in the original position does not have much future, so..."

Bella and Xiao Feng talked about Antonio's situation, Xiao Feng nodded.

If you want to do big things, you have to be bolder. In the magical continent of South America, anything can happen...

"What do you think if we send him to the Ministry of Defense?"

"Huh? This is really possible. The current Minister Zamorano seems to be in poor health. He also plans to retire recently."

"The president seems to be having a headache about who will take his place!"

Bella's eyes lit up suddenly, as expected there must be a backbone.

When Xiao Feng didn't mention it, they didn't even dare to think about such a thing.

"That's right, if Uncle Antonio sat in that position, wouldn't all our troubles be solved?"

Chen Yonglu also slapped suddenly at this time, and stood up...
