The climate of Argentina is predominantly temperate, with a hotter climate near the Tropic of Cancer.

But there is no real tropical with an average annual temperature above 20, and it is cold in the south, but there is no real cold zone with an average of -20 below. There is still a frost period of almost a month in the northeast, where Argentina is the hottest, and a month without frost in Tierra del Fuego, where it is the coldest island. July is the coldest, January is the hottest, the maximum and minimum temperatures vary greatly from north to south, the most densely populated Buenos Aires and its surrounding areas, the average annual temperature is 16 °C, there is no severe cold and summer, and the natural conditions are superior.

Half of Argentina's land is arable land and pastures, and the most developed area of agriculture and animal husbandry is the famous Pampas Plain, from the central coast to the foothills of the Andes, more than 500,000 square kilometers in length and width, every inch is moist and fertile soil, flat terrain, abundant rainfall, can be called the world's most superior agricultural and pastoral areas.

Riding a horse and galloping freely in the middle of the Pampas, hundreds of kilometers out, you can hardly feel the change of scenery, and all you can see is the endless farmland and pastures.

The combined fleets of Britain and Brazil are still imposing a naval blockade of the Wehrmacht along the eastern Atlantic coast, while in the vast southern states of Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, and other inland areas, the regular armed forces of Argentina and Uruguay no longer exist, and the scattered stragglers who are not subordinate to each other are gradually dying out under the blows of the Han armed forces.

Beginning in mid-July, the British expeditionary fleet successively withdrew its army units stationed at Buenos Aires, La Plata, and other Argentine coastal port bases, abandoning its plan to intervene in the Argentine war by land.

With the withdrawal of the British expeditionary force from the coast and the imminent demise of the remnants of the Argentine resistance, the La Plata region had lost the conditions for another major war, so Li Mingyuan and a group of Han military and political officials began to prepare for the aftermath of the end of the war.

According to the statistics of the Military Affairs Department of the General Staff, during the Argentine War, the Han government mobilized a total of 470,000 people to participate in front-line battles, logistics and transportation and other tasks, including 270,000 front-line combat troops.

Including the mobilization of 200,000 national defense forces, 70,000 garrison troops, and 200,000 former volunteers.

Senior generals are awarded knighthoods and rewards according to their merits, among which Luo Linshan, Liu Yongfu and other officers above the general level are among them, and Ye Chenglin, Chen Zongbai and others are also given hereditary earls because of their outstanding military achievements.

In addition to Li Sandou, Chen Guozhu, and Zhang Ansong, who were given the title of hereditary marquis for more than ten years because of their loyalty to the father and son of the king for more than ten years, the hereditary earl title was only 12 people, including nine in the army, namely Luo Linshan, Zhao Yongzeng, Wang Dashan, Wang Xiaoshan, Li Dawei, Liu Yongfu, Ye Chenglin, Chen Zongbai, Wu Fengdian, two navy: Chen Sen, Li Han, and one civil official: Liu Pu.

Sixteen hereditary viscount recipients: Chen Shangfa, Li Dawei, Luo Zhongguo, Feng Guoan, Qiu Mingzhang, Sun Bin, Zhao Yan, Feng Changqing, He Yanliang, Chen Jinzhong, Hu Yaji, etc.

Twenty hereditary barons: Shen Fushan, Liang Xing, Mei Dongxing, etc.

The hereditary dukedom title will not be granted for the time being, and once the list of 51 people with the hereditary marquis, earl, son, and male titles is announced, there are those who are excited and those who are lost.

Even if those who receive the title have higher expectations for their own titles, they are not disappointed because they are in the noble titles, while those who are qualified to compete for the titles of nobles, but because of the lack of merit, can only lose and regret not seizing the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, while secretly gritting their teeth and cheering up, hoping to establish a war as soon as possible and get what they wish when the next knighthood is conferred.

The high-ranking generals stared at the competition for the titles of nobles, while the ordinary officers and soldiers and the righteous people in front of the support were looking forward to getting the land rewarded by the government as soon as possible.

Argentina covers an area of 2.78 million square kilometers, one-third of the country's total area is covered by forests, and there are 39 million hectares of developable forests. The famous Pampas Great Plains have few good conditions for agriculture and animal husbandry in the world: humus-rich black soil, suitable atmosphere

Mild precipitation, spring planting and autumn harvest, no fertilization and no irrigation also have a good harvest.

Argentina had a population of 1.7 million before the war, but after the war, the remaining population was about 1.3 million due to war death, disease, starvation, and flight to foreign countries. Of the 1.3 million people, less than 3 percent of the population owns 53 percent of agricultural land.

Before and during the war, some of the knowledgeable or timid farmers sold their farms at low prices, while others who did not have time to make a move either abandoned their farms and fled abroad on the basis of the principle of safety first, or stayed where they were, resigned to their fate, waiting for the final decision of the Wehrmacht.

In the face of the white farmers who remained, according to the laws enacted by the Han State, those who knew the current affairs and honestly handed over the extra land to the government for disposal, and the Han government would also give them a way to live, while those farmers who colluded with local resistance forces or were unwilling to hand over land beyond the regulations were confiscated all land and property on charges of conspiring against the government and conspiring to rebel.

After hundreds of bloody incidents of armed suppression, the entire Pampas Plain presented a rare calm, and the problems of the big farmers, who had previously beset the Spanish colonizers and the Argentine federal government, were resolved in just a few months under the bloody and violent suppression.

Patches of fertile land were taken over by the government, and then distributed in an efficient manner to meritorious soldiers and former volunteers.

In the field army and garrison army, according to the length of service and the size of the meritorious service during the war, each officer and soldier can get 10 mu to 50 mu of land, while the former righteous people can get 10 mu of land.

Argentina has been using it since the 70s of the 19th century

Agricultural machinery, in July 1879, most of the Pampas plain was mechanized, ploughing, sowing, weeding, harvesting

Cutting, until threshing, drying, all using machinery.

Due to the small number of people in the land, Argentina generally practices agricultural and animal husbandry rotation, planting crops for several years to raise cattle for several years, or implementing a fallow system, so that the soil recovery is very fast and fertilizer is rarely needed.

The areas currently controlled by the Han State include the two southern states of Brazil, the whole of Argentina, the whole territory of Uruguay, and the Patagonia region of southern Chile, with a total land area of more than 3.4 million square kilometers, and the total population of the Han State includes naturalized Annam, Koreans, white women, and newborns, with a total population of about 6 million, and a total of 1.6 million whites and 100,000 Indians in Argentina and Uruguay.

Counting the total number of people, the population in the area controlled by the Han State was only 7.7 million, and 7.7 million people spread to 3.4 million square kilometers of land in La Plata, which is more land per capita than the United States, which is the favorite of God.

The La Plata area has abundant land to support the overseas Chinese, whether it is now or decades after the Chinese newborn surge, Li Mingyuan does not need to worry about the issue of land morality.

However, for the sake of the good development of the Han Kingdom in the future and reduce the waste of unnecessary resources and manpower, Li Mingyuan, after consulting Liu Pu, Zhao Yan and other officials, announced that each Chinese family in the local area (two southern Brazilian states) would be allowed to acquire no more than 300 acres of land in the newly occupied area, and at the same time encourage local and military officers and soldiers to move to the vast and sparsely populated Patagonian wasteland, and for Chinese families who took the initiative to sign up to move to Patagonia, the government not only sold 500 acres of land at a symbolic price. They will also be provided with free cattle, sheep, livestock and agricultural equipment.

The government's policy of encouraging Chinese families to move to the newly occupied territories led to a huge wave of migration on the South American continent.

At the end of July 1879, 300,000 families with a total population of 1.1 million people signed up to participate in the emigration activities in the occupied areas, and by the end of August, the number of Chinese participating in the emigration activities exceeded 2 million, and the trend continued to rise.

At the beginning of September, when the Far Eastern continent was in the early cold of autumn, the South American Pampas Plain had already ushered in a warm spring.

The first group of 150,000 migrants set out from Rio Gro Sul in Brazil and settled down the Paraná River to the Pampas in the middle of La Plata.

Riding a horse, crossing a plain full of greenery, a rudimentary settlement of immigrants appeared in front of me.

Fat buffaloes are leisurely munching on grass in the grass, a herd of hundreds of goats is crouching under the trees, bleating from time to time, and a few children of four or five years old are hiding behind the adults, playfully holding the stream at their feet.

On the edge of the Pampas, on the outskirts of Córdoba, the Argentine guerrillas in the surrounding mountains and forests were all annihilated in the encirclement and suppression half a month ago.

"Your Highness, 10 kilometers ahead is the Primero River, and Urquiza, a senior official of the province of Córdoba, originally planned to build a dam on the river, but due to the turmoil in Argentina, the plan to build a dam has been shelved."

After dealing with local affairs, Liu Pu and other government officials moved the government office address to Córdoba in central Argentina according to Li Mingyuan's order.

The city of Cordoba is the second largest city in Argentina and the capital of the province of Córdoba. It is located in the eastern foothills of the Sierra de Córdoba, on the banks of the Primero River. 425 meters above sea level. With a warm and dry climate, an average annual temperature of 17 °C, an average annual precipitation of 625 mm, and the surrounding areas are fertile and rich in mineral resources, it is an important central hub city in Argentina.

In the area controlled by the Han Kingdom, the main central cities are Xinjing (Porto Alegre), Buenos Aires, Rosario, and Córdoba.

Xinjing was the seat of the central government of the Han Kingdom and the temporary capital, but considering its proximity to the sea and its geographical proximity to Brazil, Xinjing was not suitable as the official capital of the Han Kingdom.

Buenos Aires is the most prosperous city in the La Plata region, before the fall of Argentina, half of its population is distributed in the surrounding areas of Buenos Aires, when planning the future construction of the capital, considering that Buenos Aires is close to the mouth of the La Plata River, and is very vulnerable to the unfavorable factors of naval attacks by hostile countries during the war, Liu Pu, Chen Jinzhong, Luo Linshan, Hu Yaqi and other government officials and army generals do not agree to make it the national capital.

Excluding Xinjing and Buenos Aires, the only places left to be the capital are Rosario and Córdoba.

Rosario is backed by the Paraná River, with convenient transportation and good natural environment, while Cordoba is located in the central part of Argentina, and the railway completed and opened to traffic in 1869 connected Cordoba with the central and eastern coastal areas, shortening the distance and time from Cordoba to various places.

Both Córdoba and Rosario are suitable for the functions of the capital in terms of national defense security and natural environment, and considering the future expansion direction of the Han Kingdom, Li Mingyuan finally decided to make Córdoba the new capital of the Han Kingdom, and Rosario and Buenos Aires exist as first-level administrative regions directly under the central government.

Compared with Rosario, Córdoba is closer to Chile on the west side of the Andes Mountains and Paraguay and Bolivia in the north, and in Li Mingyuan's plan, Córdoba will be used as the starting point to build two railways across the Andes Mountains, with Mendoza and San Salvador as transit stations, and then when the time is right, the two railways will be connected with Valparaiso and Antofagasta on the Chilean side, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling Chile and opening up the two oceans.

The decision to make Cordoba the new capital has been decided, and Li Mingyuan and his entourage inspected the outskirts of Cordoba in preparation for the planning of the functional area of the capital.

"The domestic population is growing rapidly, and considering the population changes in the next 100 years, the capital city should be prepared to accommodate more than 2 million people when planning."

Li Mingyuan tightened the reins, sat on his horse and said, "The supply of food and living materials for millions of people is a big problem, and the arable land in the surrounding areas of Córdoba is limited, so in order to ensure the normal supply of food and living materials, it is very necessary to build a dam on the Primero River to provide water security for agricultural land and industrial factories."

Mr. Liu Pu and Mr. Hu, the government departments have come up with a charter for the construction of the dam, and it is best to form an implementable plan by the end of this year. ”

"When the Argentines were planning to build the dam, they had surveyed various sections of the Primero River, and they wanted to ask the Wehrmacht to cooperate in identifying from among the captured Argentine officials who had participated in the dam construction project in the first place."

"Yes, General Luo, a group of people will be dispatched to cooperate with Liu Pu to screen the Argentine officials involved in the dam construction plan."

Li Mingyuan nodded and instructed Luo Linshan.

"The captured Argentine officials are all locked up in the city, and when they return from office, they will arrange for people to obey the command of Lord Liu." ……
