Chapter 611 611 Peruvian People's Republic
After years of civil war, even with an invasion by the United States, Peru's glorious path has not been wiped out, but has continued to thrive over the years. Guzmán, the mainstream faction of the Shining Path, and the faction of the Macona People's Commune led by Wu Qixuan even engaged in an internal strife and fire, and finally Wu Qixuan defeated Guzmán and took the overall leadership of the Shining Path, while Guzmán was forced to leave Peru and become a political figure in exile.
Although the United States has given a lot of support to the Peruvian government, and some of the more powerful second-hand equipment has even helped a lot, most of the battlefields of the Peruvian Civil War are in the Andes, and sending some tanks and armored vehicles is not as good as RPG. The government army can borrow more weight, that is, the MQ-1 Predator drone of the US military, but as it is matured, the Shining Path guerrillas have slowly found a way to deal with this thing, although the Predator is not easy to shoot down, but the guerrillas have gradually learned how to avoid it.
Similarly, Qi Yiming also gave very great support to the Peruvian Shining Path organization, the United States can give the government army equipment and funds, Qi Yiming can also give, when Wu Qixuan controlled the port of Macona, a large number of weapons entered the hands of the Shining Path from the sea. Later, after the Glorious Road was attacked by the U.S. military, although it lost control of the coastal ports, it also persevered.
After the Red Police base was upgraded to Lv3, Qi Yiming was able to open more sub-bases, so he directly and secretly sent an MCV to the mountains of Peru. After the completion of this sub-base, even if Qi Yiming did not provide Wu Qixuan with the Red Police Force as assistance, and only provided the equipment produced here, the guerrillas were not inferior to the Peruvian government army in terms of weaponry.
Especially when the Peruvian government turned to the Americans, ignored the Peruvian people's call for peace, expanded the civil war, and treated ********** groups roughly, the Peruvian government's civilian prestige was shaky. Because of the continuous attacks and destruction of the Shining Road, some local governments in Peru have difficulty even really controlling the locals, and they are unable to collect even normal taxes and fees.
Many Peruvians refuse to pay taxes to the Peruvian government on the pretext that they have already paid, and if the Peruvian government uses coercive means to collect taxes, it will inevitably lead to a strong resistance from Peruvian residents and push them to the side of the glorious path. Because of the government's rough treatment of ordinary Peruvian residents, these residents subsequently became the leaders of the glorious path, resulting in greater losses for the government army, which happened from time to time, and made the Peruvian government even more jealous.
In the absence of effective economic resources, the fighting of the Peruvian government army became more and more thin, and even the soldiers' salaries could not be paid at one point, which also inspired mutiny, causing a large number of government troops to defect to the side of the Radiant Forces or desert as deserters.
Peru's domestic social order has also fallen into a state of complete collapse, and for many years, many Peruvians have been unemployed, especially the urban population, and have had to flee in large numbers to live in areas where they can make a living. And more people who can't get by, when the government is unable to contain them, can only go up the mountain to become thieves. Although the Radiant Path can't provide any work for these people, it can still be done with Qi Yiming's sub-base support, basic food, and some necessary containment. A number of production units have also been established in the base areas opened up by the Shining Path, which provide logistics or basic social production for the revolution of the Shining Path.
As time went on, the Peruvian government's predicament became even more severe, and finally at the end of the new century, the United States had no intention of further supporting it, and it collapsed completely.
In July 1999, Wu Qixuan, who had already been appointed general secretary of the Glorious Path, announced to the guerrillas and armed forces of the whole country and to the ordinary Peruvian people that the Glorious Path had entered the stage of an all-out counteroffensive and that it would completely overthrow the corrupt, corrupt and traitorous Peruvian government and complete the great proletarian democratic revolution with the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.
Under the call of this Asian leader, more than 200,000 armed forces of the Shining Path armed forces armed with various weapons across Peru began to attack towns and areas controlled by the Peruvian government army under the coordination and command of armed organizations at all levels, and Wu Qixuan himself led more than 10,000 soldiers of the Shining Path to set out from the Andes and head straight to Lima, the capital of Peru.
The 10,000-strong force was not an ordinary guerrilla, but a regular force formed under the training of the Red Police fighters sent by Qi Yiming, and although it was still mainly light weapons, it was also equipped with some relatively heavy weapons, such as towed artillery, armored vehicles, and even some tanks captured from the government army.
Even if the equipment is not particularly strong, but this team has a high morale, the government army basically did not face such a large number of enemy forces, although the government army still has the advantage in numbers, but as soon as it comes into contact, the government army is defeated by the Shining Road Army. With the prestige of victory, the Shining Path marched directly to Lima and planted the banner of Radiant Power on the Peruvian Presidential Palace.
Only the next day, Wu Qixuan delivered a national speech, announcing the establishment of the People's Republic of Peru, a one-party dictatorship by the Shining Path, and the first task of the new state was to clear away the hostile forces, and initially establish a socialist state system, and restore the normal social life of the country.
At this time, China has stopped twisting and turning, taking into account the ideas of the United States and Western countries, and directly announced the legitimacy of the Peruvian People's Republic directly in the evening of the same day. Within three days, the other SCO member states recognized the People's Republic of Peru as the legitimate authority of Peru.
Although this does not completely confirm that China is behind the support of the glorious path, China's ambition to re-lead the international communist movement has been very clear, and for more than a decade, people have gradually stopped treating China as a pure red country, and some people even consider China a "pink country", and some Marxist-Leninist fundamentalism also caricature China as revisionism. Several countries that China has supported over the years, such as the Nanyang Republic and the Korean Federation, are not red countries, and although they have a bit of a social democratic flavor, they are still far from a real socialist system.
However, in China's own heart, or Qi Yiming's consciousness, the social system that China admires and recognizes is still a socialist system of centralized dictatorship, and even if China's society is now more open, the way of speech is open, and the level of the people's participation in politics and discussion has also been improved, but the point of ensuring that the CPC is in power has never changed. This is also reflected in many other allies that follow China.
At a time when the United States had not yet expressed any opinion on the new Peruvian government, China was the first to recognize the Shining Path regime, and despite the principle of neutrality in the civil war, it provided a large amount of military assistance to the Shining Path forces, although the exact amount was not disclosed, but it would undoubtedly be a very considerable and huge amount of assistance.
In fact, this aid is mainly used to import high-tech weapons produced by the local Red Police sub-base into the local area, under the guise of playing a pretext. More importantly, Qi Yiming recruited a group of Red Police fighters of Peruvian ethnicity, disguised as a team composed of locals, and joined the Shining Road armed forces. This group of troops has as many as 10,000 people in three brigades, and they are all equipped with a full range of China's foreign trade-type weapons, including VT-4, MIFV combat vehicles, PLZ-52 artillery, SR-3 multiple rocket launchers, and even dozens of Z-9, Z-20 and other helicopters.
Peru is a key node in South America, and Qi Yiming has plans to station troops here, and the stationing of troops on the east coast of the Pacific Ocean is obviously a very big constraint on the US Pacific Fleet, and the United States will react particularly fiercely to this. And now that Peru has just been taken, Qi Yiming believes that it is not appropriate to achieve this step too quickly. Let Wu Qixuan build a large-scale military port and facilities for China's aircraft carrier fleet, without the need for China to send soldiers and fleets over, and when a real war breaks out, the fleet can directly cross the Pacific Ocean and dock locally, and even Qi Yiming can use cryogenic space teleportation to transmit a Red Alert fleet over.
This model is somewhat similar to the U.S. Water Lily Plan to contain China after the 21st century, because of concerns that China will directly attack the fixed bases of the U.S. military, the U.S. focuses on building ports in China's neighboring maritime countries that can facilitate the supply and recuperation of the U.S. military, rather than direct military bases. On the one hand, the U.S. military does not have to spend a lot of money to maintain them, which relieves a lot of pressure on the Americans who are constantly cutting expenses, and on the other hand, it is less likely to be hit.
As the period of the great war envisioned by Qi Yiming approached, it was unlikely that Peru would be able to restore its prosperity and gain a certain economic strength to supply its armed forces. Therefore, Qi Yiming still wants to borrow more from Peru's geographical location. Relatively speaking, although Latin America is regarded as the backyard of the United States, it is still relatively difficult to invade North America and threaten the US mainland with the strength of Latin American countries. In the early days of the war, even the United States did not expect to be able to take care of the left-wing countries of Peru and Venezuela in the Asia-Pacific region and Europe when their forces were stretched thin, and at best they could co-opt other Latin American countries against them.
Qi Yiming also has no intention of using the two pawns of Venezuela and Peru at the beginning, or has a greater role in containing the United States. Although World War I and World War II are known as world wars, in fact, there were no wars in the Americas, Australia and other places, but the Third World War is really not certain, and even armed conflict in the distant frozen Antarctica is possible.
