Chapter 515 515 Peruvian People's Commune

Wu Qixuan's path to ambition began in the Peruvian province of Arequipa.

Fujimori's assassination was always believed to have been carried out by the opposition who carried out the coup, but it was impossible to imagine that the person who planned and carried it out would be Wu Qixuan, who was subordinate to Guanghuilu on the one hand and China's Strategic Security Bureau on the other. After Fujimori's death, there was a violent political upheaval in Peru, with the opposition vying for power and several military officers who carried out military operations on the night of the coup d'état becoming self-reliant.

In fact, this is the case in many South American countries, not only are military coups coming to power frequent, but the central government has relatively little control over the military and some places. If we look at the history of the Shining Path in another dimension, although the Shining Path has become worse and worse after the 21st century, it still retains a base area of a certain size, and this base area is actually a country within a country in Peru.

The tradition of warlord governance in Latin American countries has its historical roots. When the European colonizers lacked the heart and eye to overdraft the colonies, only looted but did not build, and the exploitation intensified, the people of Latin American countries rose up against the European colonizers, mainly Spain. The well-known Bolívar and San Martín were great warlords, who led the people to rise up against the colonizers, and when they succeeded, they brought up the big and small warlords to form a state.

However, the interests of the warlords are not always the same, so there are various divisions and mergers, and many warlords are very powerful, and they are temporarily set up as the central warlords to go to crusade, and it is very likely that they will kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 themselves, and in the end they will be taken advantage of by other warlords. In addition, these Latin mestizos are different from the Chinese, they are originally against their own masters, and there is no sense of unity, so many of them let the hostile warlords on their own land. As long as the state of independence is not declared, there is basically no trouble.

At this time, Peru was a bit out of control of the central government, and warlords everywhere were in turmoil. Naturally, the glorious path of "having a heart for the world" will not miss this opportunity, and they will gather their own armed forces and guerrillas to expand and consolidate their territory, and many teams may have only a few dozen or hundreds of people and dozens of guns to dare to capture a town.

Wu Qixuan, as a "public student", can be regarded as learning more combat skills abroad, and he was also appointed as a lieutenant colonel in the army by the current leader of the Shining Path, Guzman, and led him to bring back more than 100 soldiers from the Westwood Company to develop in Arequipa Province and establish a base for the Glorious Force.

This set of roads is absolutely familiar to the Chinese, because it was the Red Army's method of opening up base areas in those years. Guzmán, a believer in the great man and a well-read reader of various anthologies, believed that the enemy in the city had the strongest reactionary force, while the glorious path was the weakest, and it was very difficult to succeed in the revolution. In the more remote countryside and small cities, the government army has a small defensive force and a better mass base, so as long as it can accumulate a small amount, it can also form a large force. This is the Peruvian version of "the countryside surrounds the city".

Although Wu Qixuan has limited troops, the resources he has at his disposal are incomparable to anyone. On the third day after he assassinated Fujimori and left Lima, he used money to entrap several low-ranking officers of the government army, convincing them to hand over their troops to him, and then take the dollars to enjoy themselves. In the area he passed, Wu Qixuan also raised the banner to recruit soldiers, at this time the unemployment rate in Peru was terrifyingly high, the inflation rate was more than 3,000%, and many people were hungry and poor.

Perhaps their situation is better than that of the Chinese during the Republic of China, but in terms of personality, the Chinese are conservative and stable, and they will not make trouble if they have a bite to eat, but the Latins have a unrestrained and romantic personality and are easy to be instigated. In addition, Wu Qixuan had Red Police spies under him who specialized in this kind of work, and by the time his team actually entered Arequipa Province, he already had more than a thousand subordinates.

By subduing the establishment of the government army, Wu Qixuan's team has several armored vehicles and tanks, but this kind of thing is not needed for real war. Troop transport was carried mainly by pickup trucks and military trucks, while soldiers fought mainly with light weapons. Because of the line of Ximu and the Strategic Bureau, Wu Qixuan has no shortage of weapons in his hands, what AK-47 Qi Yiming looted back from Russia, it is a very important asset to send a few thousand to Wu Qixuan, plus the relatively heavy firepower such as heavy machine guns, RPGs, and mortars, Wu Qixuan's team's combat effectiveness is outstanding in Peru's armed forces.

In particular, he also has more than a hundred soldiers from Ximu and the Red Police base, these people are the strength he can count on the most, can fight tough battles, and can also fight.

In order to ensure the smooth supply of his weapons and supplies, Wu Qixuan's first target was the port of Macona. The city is built next to the mine and backed by a stretch of desert, so the location conditions are not very good. But compared to a few ports in Arequipa province that are in poor condition, at least a ship of several thousand tons can be parked here.

It was not difficult to capture the port of Macona, the Peruvian government did not have much defense force here, and after a short delivery of ten minutes, Wu Qixuan successfully captured the port city, which was only slightly larger than a township in China.

The ships that carried weapons and supplies for Wu Qixuan were distant-water fishing vessels under different flags, and in fact belonged to Chinese or Nanyang fishing companies. The tonnage of these distant-water fishing vessels is roughly about 3,000 tons to 7,000 tons, of which 3,000 tons is an ocean-going fishing vessel developed by China 701 system, with advanced fishing facilities and the potential to modify combat ships. This type of vessel is favored by Chinese and foreign fishing companies, and there are even cases where Japanese shipowners order entire fleets from shipyards.

In order to provide Wu Qixuan with weapons as a cover, Qi Yiming specially brought in a fishing fleet of more than 40 ocean-going fishing boats, most of which were fishing boats operating normally, but a few of them were converted into cabins and carried the weapons and materials that Wu Qixuan needed. The ships would dock at the port of Macona for resupply, and in the middle of the night when no one was around, they would unload their weapons. In this way, because Wu Qixuan has unlimited weapons, he will soon be able to pull up a larger team.

Wu Qixuan's actions next have a more immediate sense of the Chinese revolution decades ago. After Wu Qixuan and his soldiers occupied factories and mines, they arrested the owners of the shares, and then held a meeting of all employees to complain about their grievances to expose the exploitation and oppression of unscrupulous capitalists.

"It's him, I'd rather buy a Ferrari than pay us more wages, how much inflation is now, money is not money, many workers can't have enough to eat, but he wants to plan a vacation to Saipan, it's all this damn bloodsuck!"

"There is also the manager, he teamed up with the boss to bully us workers, Juan was smashed and broke his leg when he went down the mine, and he originally had an insurance money, but this bastard said no, in fact, he swallowed the insurance money with a few bosses, but Juan was a disabled person who lost his ability to work and had to leave the mine!"

……

In fact, the situation in many places is not so serious, at least not as serious as it sounds. But such a thing as a grievance meeting is originally to use one thing to bring out countless things, and then magnify small things into serious things, and finally convict those unscrupulous capitalists and paparazzi of a big crime and deal with it quickly.

One by one, local rich people, officials and other characters were pulled off the horse by Wu Qixuan, and the circumstances were so serious that he didn't want to, and he was shot directly after the public trial. This was indeed supported by many people, especially when the first capitalist was overthrown, and his family storage of daily necessities was taken out and shared with other laborers, and the emotions of many laborers were ignited.

Because the year is so bad, many people are eating one meal a day, severe inflation has caused the vast majority of Peruvian net worth to shrink seriously, and the middle class still has a breath, but those Peruvians who are already desperately poor are almost half dead. As soon as Wu Qixuan's action of robbing the rich and helping the poor was launched, many Peruvians who couldn't survive immediately became his supporters. Most Latin American countries have a pyramidal social structure, with wealthy businessmen and officials at the top of the pyramid, but quite rare, and then a slightly larger but smaller middle class, whose main occupations are teachers, civil servants, lawyers, engineers, and so on. But the largest number were the purely manual laborers, and the workers and peasants made up the vast majority.

So when the vast majority of people are struggling to survive, a spark ignites them, and it bursts out with terrifying power.

Wu Qixuan was surrounded by capable people, and in just a few days, a set of people's commune plans for the end of the 20th century was released. Unified labor, unified production, distribution according to work, assistance to the weak, respect for knowledge. This series of principles and measures is basically beneficial to the poor and harmless to the middle class, but it is the rich who are most damaged.

The Peruvian version of the People's Commune first changed the factories and farms into collectives and reorganized the trade union organizations of various units. And establish party organizations in various units, even now Wu Qixuan himself does not know how this party organization should operate. The factories are governed by a system of democratic self-government of the workers and administrative orders from the higher authorities, and the workers' own committees can make most decisions with the permission of the superiors. But this is also formal, and power is still monopolized in the hands of some people.

Agriculturally, the people's communes were more flexible, and yeoman farmers with small holdings of land were not affected, while those who owned large amounts of land were arrested, their assets confiscated and turned into collective farms, and the communes called the unemployed to work on these farms.

If the typical planned economy is small enough, the biggest characteristic is that there will be almost no unemployed, and when Wu Qixuan's controlled areas are confused, they will be better off following the new model than before, even if it is a little stronger, people will be willing to continue to maintain such a system. And Wu Qixuan doesn't care about these administrative problems, he hopes to make his territory bigger.

In essence, Wu Qixuan is a standard military lord, but with the people sent by Qi Yiming, he can do more.
