When the United States is worried that the deterioration of Russia's security situation will trigger turmoil in Europe and even the world, Latin America, which they have always regarded as their back garden, is also undercurrent.
A coup is brewing in Venezuela, and its protagonist is the famous anti-American fighter Hugo Chavez in later generations. However, in another aspect, the coup launched by Chavez to oppose the incompetent rule of the corrupt government ultimately failed due to the weakness of the power and the rebels. Although he made the poor people all over Venezuela regard him as their savior through this coup, he spent many years in prison until 1999 when he became the president of Venezuela and began his own socialist reforms.
Qi Yiming actually noticed Chavez's important role very early. Three or four years ago, a Red Alert spy disguised as a businessman formed a friendship with Chavez and gave him a large number of books translated into Spanish. Books such as "Selected Works of Mao Zedong". Chavez was very fascinated by this. He greatly appreciated and agreed with famous sayings such as "Imperialism is a paper tiger", "Contempt the enemy strategically", "The Party commands the gun", and he could even say that a certain quotation came from the "Selected Works" Which volume?
Later, this "Chinese friend" gave him the Spanish "Qi Xuan", which is Comrade Qi Jingren's theoretical writings on socialist construction in the new era, as well as the expectations and prospects for the development of the red cause in the future world. Chavez felt a huge resonance after reading it and believed that Mao's election was an important achievement in guiding people to fight against imperialism, aggression and capitalism in the first half of this century, while Qi's election pointed out the direction for the future social development of the world.
Especially in recent years, China's continuous growth has convinced Chavez that it is precisely following the correct line that has led to China's rapid development. On the contrary, Chavez has always been a staunch anti-American fighter and is very dissatisfied with China's military alliance with the United States. However, his Chinese friend explained it this way: "We Chinese value the spirit of harmony without difference. Although the United States is a decadent and outdated capitalist country that will one day perish, blindly forcible confrontation may lead to the loss of innocent lives." The loss is not conducive to the development of our red cause. Moreover, it is necessary to use the power of the United States to maintain world peace and promote development at this stage. Only when the global productive forces develop to a certain stage can the superiority of our socialism be finally reflected. sex"
This Chinese friend is not often in Venezuela, but every time he goes to Venezuela, he will have long conversations with Chavez all night long. Chavez even half-jokingly said to his Chinese friend Liu Jun: "If one day I become President President, I must ask you to come to Venezuela and be my prime minister.¡±
Liu Jun¡¯s disguised identity is that of a senior executive of a large overseas investment state-owned enterprise in China, and his main business is in Latin America. The departments of China's large state-owned enterprises actually have considerable political power, and they are often demoted to become officials somewhere by their peers. Chavez also knew this and suspected that Liu Jun was some form of spy. But Chavez didn't think that he, an ordinary mid-level military officer, had anything to win over, and it was impossible for the Chinese to know in advance that he might become the president of Venezuela or something in the future.
But it just so happens that the Chinese know what will happen in the future, so they make such favor investments in advance.
Chavez has heard many stories about the CP¡¯s anti-corruption struggle and the protection of people¡¯s rights in the country. The new number one leader of China is officially from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, an agency responsible for the anti-corruption struggle. Compared with the current chaotic and corrupt government in Venezuela, Chavez Sri Lanka can feel the dissatisfaction among the people and hopes that changes can be made.
In a meeting with Liu Jun, Chavez confessed his thoughts to his trusted friend for the first time: "Liu, Venezuela is like a purgatory now. The rich are living like crazy, and the poor can't even support themselves." My child. Officials are blatantly embezzling government funds, and social resources are monopolized in the hands of a few so-called elites. I can't stand my motherland sinking like this anymore. All countries in the world are pursuing progress, and if they can't keep up, , Venezuela will always be a poor and backward country in the future, and our citizens will not be looked down upon.¡±
Liu Jun asked in surprise: "So Ugo, what do you want to do?"
Chavez squinted his eyes, his chubby face showing a hint of shrewdness and courage, and said: "A coup will drive out those incompetent and corrupt guys, and make Venezuela a socialist country from now on."
Liu Jun was naturally eager to let Chavez do this, but he could not appear too eager, and he spoke as a friend of Chavez, not an agent of the Chinese Bureau of Strategic Security. So he thought for a while and said: "But you have to consider that you are still unknown in the country and no one knows you. Venezuela has also implemented a multi-party system for many years and a political system similar to that of the West. If it is suddenly reversed, it may suffer Very strong pressure comes not only from some vested interests in Venezuela, but also from Western countries that are keen to export values.
There is no doubt that it is very necessary to reform the social system, but if it is done hastily, it will not be achieved.If you are not able to achieve your original goal and make Venezuela better, it may cause the division of domestic classes and cast a shadow over the development of Venezuela. "
It was not that Chavez had not considered these issues, so he came to his trusted friend Liu Jun to discuss it. He asked: "Then what do you think we should do?"
"It is somewhat difficult to step into a one-party socialist system, and the resistance will be relatively large, but if a system similar to social democracy is implemented, many people will relax their vigilance. A very important condition is that there are a large number of poor people in Venezuela. These people are your potential voters. As long as your policies can benefit these people, maintaining power will not be a problem. Moreover, Venezuela cannot be separated from the so-called elite and middle class, who have knowledge, technology and development. The country cannot rely solely on the people at the lower levels. Being able to win over these people and spread correct ideas to them is very important for the development of Venezuela. However, if too huge changes in the social system are made at once, it is very likely that they will be directly pushed away. to your opposite.¡±
Chavez nodded, thinking that Liu Jun was right, and motioned for him to continue speaking.
"I believe that the development and application of political systems are closely related to specific historical periods and the degree of development of productive forces. Therefore, we in China have always mentioned the concept that political systems must adapt to national conditions. What is suitable for China may not be suitable for Venezuela. Venezuela is now What is needed most? A clean and efficient government, a visionary and powerful economic development plan, a policy that can help most of the country's poor people escape poverty, and expand the education level of the people, so that the future of Venezuela's economy There is no shortage of talents for development.
In short, there are three things: anti-corruption, economic planning and education. As long as you can do these three things well, Venezuela will be able to obtain the conditions and foundation to further develop a higher social form and grow into a wealthy and healthy country. Regional powers are also just around the corner. "
Chavez couldn't help but nodded and said: "Yes, I think those economic theories such as neoliberalism are all designed to allow capital from developed countries to freely plunder the economic interests of our third world countries. Venezuela is rich in resources. , but most of the profits were taken by foreign capitalists, and the people of this country did not benefit from it. If our coup succeeds, I will implement more stable and planned economic policies, especially the oil industry. We need it. Development contracts that are more beneficial to us, although they do not completely exclude investment from foreign companies, must be reasonable and conducive to the development of our country.
Liu Jun's eyes lit up. Due to the dominant position of Britain, the United States and other countries in Venezuela, Chinese companies do not have many economic activities in Venezuela. Now they can only do a few small-scale subcontracts, but they cannot get large-scale oil field projects at all. , if it can support Chavez to come to power and make it worse with Western countries, China will have the opportunity to become the largest investor in Venezuela.
"Ugo, these are actually things that will happen later. Now you seem to be thinking about how to gain political power." Liu Jun said with concern.
At this point, Chavez also felt a little nervous and disappointed. He said: "I can now convince five infantry battalions to follow me in this coup, but this amount of troops is really insufficient, especially if we walk to major cities in the country. It¡¯s inconspicuous, but contacting other military commanders rashly may expose the news that we are going to carry out a coup.¡±
Liu Jun said: "This matter must be done carefully, and you must also strictly control and monitor your subordinates. Although some people board your ship, they are inevitably not sincere. If they choose to rebel at the critical moment, then you It will be difficult for the revolution to succeed. It is necessary to strengthen ideological control and surveillance on these people. In addition, regarding the problem of insufficient troops, I have a solution that you may be able to use. "
Chavez was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "Liu, can you persuade the Chinese military to support me?"
Liu Jun smiled bitterly and said: "This is unlikely. It is impossible for the government to directly participate in the politics of other countries. However, I know a very strong military force that is not the official government. You may have heard of it. , this company is called Ximu"
Chavez slammed the table and shouted: "Are you talking about the mercenary organization in Papua New Guinea that even has its own aircraft carrier?"
Liu Jun nodded and smiled: "To be precise, it is an amphibious assault ship, but yes, it is this mercenary organization."
