With the planning and support of Liu Jun and the Strategic Bureau behind him, Chavez's coup plan was extremely rigorous and thorough, which is also something that Chavez's coup in another dimension did not have. On the day the coup was launched, the official government had not received any news.
The coup forces organized by Chavez launched coups at the same time in important cities such as Caracas, Valencia, Maracaibo, and Maracay. The main force of the coup army was the Venezuelan armed forces, and the targets were the main people in the city. Military and communications facilities. Among them, the capital Caracas was the focus of the attack. In order to successfully occupy the capital, Chavez placed the "heavily paid" Westwood mercenaries on the battlefield in Caracas.
Zu Xiaozhou, a sergeant major who formerly served in the Evil Jiao Commando of the Chinese Marine Corps, also participated in the battle disguised as a contract mercenary from Westwood Company. For a fighting force like the Evil Dragon, being without actual combat for too long will make their muscles and bones rust. Only by constantly stimulating them with blood can they maintain the bloody nature of the Evil Dragon. Therefore, many evil dragons will be sent to different battlefields in various ways to perform special tasks.
Zu Xiaozhou took several evil dragon team members into Ximu Company. Although he did not know all the details of Ximu Company, he also knew that there must be China behind it. The previous foreign policy that a country did not involve in domestic affairs has long been a dead letter. China continues to exert its influence in various forms. Military involvement is obviously one of them, whether it was in Iraq before or in Venezuela now.
This operation is actually new to Zu Xiaozhou, because he is sitting in an NHT26 Rhino 11 tank at this time. In the past, he had done tasks such as charging into battles, sniping and assassinating, but he really couldn't handle being a tank soldier. As an excellent special forces member, Zu Xiaozhou certainly knows how to drive a tank, but knowing how to drive it and how to use it are two different things.
At this time, he was the commander of this Rhino tank. In this operation, Westwood Company brought a total of 2 Rhino tanks. The number seemed small, but there were not many tanks in Venezuela. The Venezuelan army has purchased British Scorpion light tanks, French AN13 light tanks and AN3 tanks, but the numbers are not very large. Even if these tanks appear, it will be difficult to resist the NHT26 type, which is the third generation main tank.
In addition to the NHT26 Rhino 11, the Ximu mercenaries also brought some NIP multi-functional infantry vehicles. They mainly fight urban warfare, so they need armor cover. The Venezuelan army cannot be equipped with too many heavy weapons, so for Ximu Mercenaries are also relatively easy to deal with. Ximu even brought two WZ-10s and two Z-20s for ground attack and transportation tasks.
Ximu's nominal leader is still Jacqueline, but Jacqueline, a little girl, doesn't like to be away from Qi Yiming for too long now, so she can only ask about big things and ignore small things, but it hurts the commander who loves her, the United States. Kent. This operation was also directed by Kent. He had experience in commanding the last Sri Lankan bandit suppression. Although the situation was different this time, it was still within his capabilities.
Zu Xiaozhou shouted in English: "Our mission is to occupy the national radio station to broadcast Chavez's uprising speech to the country. The march must be fast, and it must be completed before the Venezuelans find out what happened. If The Venezuelan army has begun to counterattack the radio station. We must defend the radio station and we must not let it fall into the hands of the Venezuelan army."
There are people from all over the world in the mercenary army, but the common language is generally English, and even Chinese is limited to communication among Chinese mercenaries. But another advantage of mercenaries is that because everyone comes from all over the world, they can speak at least two languages. There may be five or six languages ??in a team, and they can communicate with the locals during missions.
With the high speed of tanks and armored vehicles, Zu Xiaozhou and his group quickly rushed into Caracas. The citizens of Caracas were confused as they watched these armored vehicles and tanks speeding down the streets, not knowing what was happening. No matter how bold the local police are, they will not send out police cars to stop these guys. They can only quickly contact the military.
But the rebels had already made preparations. A group of special forces cut off the communications in Caracas. All telephones in the city were out of operation, and radio communications were also affected by the electromagnetic jammer carried by Ximu. Only Ximu's own communication equipment can communicate under electromagnetic interference.
With such a delay, the Venezuelan army could not catch up with the rapid response to resist the insurgents who were armed to the teeth. When Zu Xiaozhou and his group arrived at the Venezuelan National Radio Station, they did not encounter the slightest resistance. He found a Mexican who could speak Spanish, captured the director of the radio station, handed him the prepared materials, and ordered him to immediately broadcast the news to the country unconditionally.
"All citizens of Venezuela, we can no longer choose silence. The chaotic country and government have lost the meaning of existence. Graft and corruption are rampant. The people's wealth is being plundered. There is no way out for our future " Chavez's voice came out, making all Venezuelans suddenly realizeOne question-Venezuela has another military coup.
This kind of thing is actually common in any country in South America, but this time there are really many people who hope to overthrow the current government and establish a more effective government.
" Seizing media facilities first and issuing a statement to the locals is an extremely important step in an occupation-type military operation. When the Soviet Union repeatedly suppressed local riots, it liked to send paratroopers to occupy facilities such as television stations and radio stations. Chavez's speech was sent over the radio, which accelerated the entire uprising situation.
Some eager Venezuelans took to the streets to express support and welcome to Chavez's coup, even if they didn't even know who Chavez was.
"The troops dispatched by Chavez to capture the presidential palace were the first to enter the battle. No one expected that the defense of the empty capital would cause the insurrectionists to rush outside the presidential palace before the sound of gunfire appeared. The insurgents who attacked the presidential palace were mainly a company of the Venezuelan army and a company of mercenaries. They did not have particularly heavy weapons, only two multi-purpose infantry vehicles and two 150-mm armored vehicles of the Venezuelan army.
Before the armored vehicles rushed into the palace, the Venezuelan troops guarding the presidential palace set up heavy machine guns to fire at the attacking armored vehicles. The 2.7mm warheads damaged 150 armored vehicles, while the two NIPs stopped their direct charge and adopted roundabout maneuvers. way, and the 3mm turret began to fire at those machine gun points.
These machine gun points are either open-air or have only light offensive defenses, which cannot withstand the 3mm cannon of the infantry fighting vehicle. Even if the tank encounters thicker fortifications, it is not afraid because the vehicle-mounted Red Arrow-missile can also attack difficult situations. ability.
The ferocious rebel army beat the hell out of the Venezuelan army guarding the president's residence. The real attack was dark and ruthless. It was the group of mercenaries, because at least the rebel army knew that the other party was a compatriot of their own country. Although they were fighting in different camps, there was no essential hatred. The Ximu mercenaries are a group of war madmen who can kill and set fire at the first sight. This is a standard unscrupulousness.
This also made the current President of Venezuela Perez very scared. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, he finally walked out of the official residence and surrendered to the rebels, hoping not to hurt innocent people.
The radio station was occupied and the president was captured. The two major elements of Chavez's coup had been met. That afternoon, Chavez arrived at the presidential residence in a Dongfeng Warrior jeep. Even though there were still sporadic exchanges of fire and resistance in some places at this time, But the general trend has become clear. Chavez has seized the leadership of the country, and his military coup is about to succeed.
At the presidential palace, Chavez forced President Perez to give a speech in front of the camera. It was like a self-incriminating edict. He first explained how incompetent he was during his time in power. He allowed the domestic economy to continue to decline and punished corrupt officials. Without restraint, and colluding with foreign reactionary forces to infringe on national sovereignty and interests, it is almost an unforgivable crime. Now I have repented and hope that Venezuela will be led by a wise person, that is, Hugo Chavez.
The coup in Venezuela lasted for about three days. In the end, Chavez gained state power as he wished. He followed Liu Jun's suggestions and did not make too drastic changes to the current state institutions. Some obviously problematic ones He was pulled down, and then installed a group of his cronies, especially the Congress, where he exercised relatively strong control.
Liu Jun did not immediately become the Prime Minister of the Venezuelan government. This was also what he proposed. The transition of the government is not an easy matter and needs to be done step by step.
Qi Yiming, who is far away in China, also received the news that Chavez's coup was successful and couldn't help but smile with joy. He can actually replace Chavez, but this is also very unnecessary. Because Chavez is inherently pro-China and anti-American, and he is not in a hurry to reach into the backyard of the United States so quickly. It would be bad if it aroused the vigilance and wariness of the United States.
In addition, Venezuela is a member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, and its oil production is very considerable. Qi Yiming is now extracting oil all over the world. With Venezuela in its hands, it can not only supply its own country, but also be a good thing to blackmail other countries. Oil is a weapon, and it is by no means empty talk.
On the other hand, Venezuela has also become one of China's major exporters of military products. Venezuela, which has become rich because of oil, prefers to buy Chinese weapons. At this time, Chinese weapons are more high-end. I believe that if there is demand, Venezuela will be more inclined to purchase them. Chinese weapons.
" China's operation in Latin America has always been a relatively difficult issue, and it is far less easy to penetrate than Africa. Venezuela will become a window for China's power to enter Latin America. If it is the first, there will be follow-up.
