Chavez immediately thought that Westwood had always been rumored to have a Chinese official background, because the weapons used by Westwood were almost all weapons and equipment exported from China, and although some people also tried to use the PNG government to provide Westwood, if China really didn't want these weapons to go into the hands of Westwood, it would be just a gesture.

Since the establishment of the Westwood Company, it has not been inconspicuous, and the biggest business it has done is to take orders from the Sri Lankan government and suppress the LTTE in its country.

Chavez asked with a sad face: "Liu, Ximu Company is obviously the most powerful one in the mercenary circle, they fight no different from the regular army, and their weapons and equipment are also terrifyingly powerful, but their fees should be unaffordable for normal people, even if I want them to help, but I can't afford to pay this money." ”

Liu Jun laughed and said, "Ugo, you relax, although what you have to do may be more dangerous, I can help you talk about it and see if Ximu can give you a discount." And in fact, our company can help you pay for this employment fee, and when you succeed, we will talk about the remuneration. ”

Chavez didn't immediately smile, but said seriously: "Liu, you are my friend, so I won't deceive you." I do need Ximu's mercenaries, but if you let the company behind you intervene, I will be difficult to refuse the conditions you offer after the matter is completed, and if the conditions you offer are to betray our national interests, such as going to a few oil fields, I will definitely not be able to promise you, if you have any conditions, say it now! ”

Liu Jun couldn't help nodding secretly, although Chavez looks more rude and rude, but in fact he is still a person with a lot of integrity and bottom line, he is indeed like many politicians who can swear not to give up to achieve his goals, but there are some things he will not do.

"Haha, Ugo, I know who you are, and I won't make it so difficult for you. Well, it doesn't hurt to tell you now. The main thing is that opening up Venezuela's economy and market to China is not unbridled and destructive, and the dominant power is still in the hands of the Venezuelan government. Specifically, it is to recognize the various investment and business activities of Chinese enterprises in Venezuela, and try to give them more preferential tax policies; Open the Venezuelan market and reduce tariffs on Chinese products, so that Chinese products can be marketed in Venezuela. On the other hand, China also hopes to give full play to our country's advantages in infrastructure construction to help Venezuela build a better country, and we can also guarantee that in the bidding of various projects, Chinese enterprises will give the best and cheapest bids......"

Chavez sat there listening to Liu Jun's speech, and frankly speaking, such as opening up the market, reducing tariffs, allowing investment, and preferential profits and taxes, are not particularly big things, and the current Venezuelan government is also open to Western countries such as Britain and the United States. But Chavez understands very well that although countries such as Britain and the United States have received so many benefits, they have given very little back to Venezuela.

He glanced at Liu Jun and sighed: "Sure enough, Liu, is the Chinese government behind you?" ”

Liu Jun smiled without hesitation, and said: "I am an executive of a state-owned enterprise, in fact, there is not much difference from ordinary government officials, of course, I personally cannot fully represent the official meaning, but I can provide the best choice for you." ”

Chavez thought for a moment, nodded and said, "If I can succeed, I really need help and support from China. The model of China's aid to Yugoslavia is just ahead, and a country facing collapse has been saved by China in this way, and I believe that Chinese friends are very good at doing economic development, and China still has many talents like Liu You. ”

On the other hand, the past few years were when the Yugoslav civil war was in full swing, but because Qi Yiming intervened in the Yugoslav economy at the end of the 80s and began to infiltrate his own political forces in the Yugoslav Federation to calm down national antagonism, up to now, Yugoslavia has not broken out into an armed conflict that should have occurred in history, but is moving towards a developed country at a relatively high speed, and some economists even believe that Yugoslavia is experiencing an economic miracle.

Chavez said: "I don't understand the details, but I can assure you that Venezuela will welcome investment from Chinese companies in the future, and will also give certain preferential treatment to Chinese goods and investment, but we will not give up a single step where national sovereignty and interests are involved." ”

Liu Jun said happily: "This is the condition I want to see, we Chinese are used to doing business to pay attention to mutual benefit and win-win, it is not the ability to make money by ourselves, let the other party also make money, everyone is happy is the best." ”

Chavez shook Liu Jun's hand and said, "Liu, although my request may be excessive, I still hope that you can consider it carefully, I think you are a very capable person, with broad vision and profound knowledge, which is exactly what Venezuela lacks." Some of the so-called elites think that they are the best people with British and American education, and these people cannot contribute more to the country except for wealth and selfishness, and what Venezuela needs is people like you, with good morals and outstanding abilities. If possible, I would like to invite you to become a Venezuelan citizen, and I will entrust you with a responsibility! In the future, we will send more officials to China to learn how to govern the country. ”

Liu Jun couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, it doesn't matter how he uses himself, Red Alert spies like him, although they can't be called countless, but the number is also huge, and often Qi Yiming infiltrates into important positions in government organs of other countries are high-level spies with disguised appearances, and it is really cheap to enter the government of other countries as normal spies like him.

And Chávez's intention to let China help him train government officials is actually equivalent to these people accepting China's ideology in disguise, and whether they will be subjectively close to China, the CPC-like governance model will make Venezuela closer to China, thus establishing it as an important fulcrum for China in Latin America.

"Ugo, I personally can't decide on this matter rashly, let me think about it, okay?" Liu Jun said so, in fact, he had to report the situation to the Strategy Bureau, and let Qi Yiming or the managers below decide the matter.

Chavez saw that Liu Jun was still motivated, after all, becoming the prime minister of a country as a businessman is an attractive thing. He is actually not joking, Liu Jun he admires very much, he is very fluent in Spanish, and he understands the local conditions, and his ability and knowledge are enough. After all, Chávez was born as a military officer, and he didn't know much about those real government officials, and he didn't trust them enough. In this way, it is better to directly use Liu Jun, whom he trusts, even though he is a foreigner.

As soon as an agreement of intent was reached, the Westwood mercenaries stationed in Papua New Guinea began to secretly travel to Venezuela. Because they are carrying out a coup d'état, it is naturally impossible to be as upright as the last Sri Lankan time. The equipment and personnel of the Westwood mercenaries were basically transported separately. Chávez would buy off the port crews of the port of La Guaira, and Westwood's heavy military equipment, such as tanks and armored vehicles, would be secretly transported in at night. Some of Westwood's armed men entered Venezuela in the normal way, while others arrived in smuggling.

The total number of personnel sent by the Ximu mercenaries is not very large, a reinforced battalion is about 800 people, but it covers many different arms of armored troops, army aviation and artillery, and the combat strength of the personnel is not something that the armed forces of ordinary Latin American countries can resist.

The operation alone took about two months, and thanks to careful deployment and careful operation, the outside world did not find out, and Chávez was able to gather the Ximu mercenaries in a barracks under his control, which the official Venezuelan government did not know about.

Many Latin American countries have a very poor control over the military, which is why Latin American military leaders regularly carry out military coups to overthrow democratically elected governments or governments that have also come to power in a coup d'état. After receiving Liu Jun's help, Chavez strengthened his control over the army in his hands, and he secretly disposed of those who did not match him, and the surveillance was extremely tight, even if the mutineers wanted to report the news, it was difficult to do so.

In addition to the addition of the Ximu mercenaries, Chávez's army also received some assistance in the field of weapons, most of which were guerrilla artifacts made in China at the time, as well as some Soviet-made weapons that Qi Yiming had brought from the Far East and Siberia. As long as he has enough guns, Chavez can actually keep pulling his team up. The regular army was certainly limited in number, but there were certainly quite a few ordinary people willing to join the revolution.

Therefore, Liu Jun also suggested to Chavez that in addition to controlling the army, he should also control the hearts of the people. Before the coup d'état, propaganda produced by Chávez's party was everywhere in Caracas and other large cities in Venezuela, criticizing the inaction and incompetence of the current government, and exaggerating that the time had come for Venezuela to change, and that those with vested interests would only sit on the heads of the poor and suck the blood, without caring about the lives and deaths of the poor.

The propaganda materials did not say who was the savior, and the authorities who discovered it did not pay attention to it, but the penetrating comments made many Venezuelans realize that they were indeed living in "dire straits" and that the country needed a great savior to save them.

In Liu Jun's view, the dissatisfaction with the authorities and the desire for change are sufficient, and he does not need to get Chavez out as a target, but when Chavez stands up to overthrow the current government, the people who are in high mood will automatically come out to cheer for Chavez, and even join the revolution.
