The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

The Skynet monitoring system was promoted by Panshan Group and was first piloted in six cities: Hong Kong, Kunming, Pengcheng, Yangcheng, Shanghai, and Beijing.

It took five years of demonstration and proof that the Skynet surveillance system would be of great help to public security, and only then did the Ministry of Public Security promote the Skynet surveillance system nationwide.

By now, the Skynet surveillance system has covered the entire China.

The Skynet monitoring system plays a vital role in criminal cases, public security cases, traffic violations and other fields.

Even through the Skynet surveillance system, Chinese police have arrested tens of thousands of wanted criminals through facial recognition.

Through the monitoring platform, the public security organs can conduct 24-hour monitoring of the main roads, key units, and hot spots in the jurisdiction of each street in the city, effectively eliminating security risks and greatly improving the level of discovering and arresting current crimes on the streets.

Not long ago, a 9-second surveillance video appeared on the Chinese Internet, causing heated discussions. Unlike previous surveillance, this surveillance can distinguish between motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians in real time, and can accurately identify the types of motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles, as well as the age, gender, clothing, ethnicity, and place of origin of pedestrians.

This video shows the real-time pedestrian detection and recognition system currently under development, which is also an important part of the "Huaxia Tianwang" project.

In Chinese society, communities and companies are gradually promoting facial recognition. Although this will eliminate some jobs, it will greatly improve work efficiency. Parking lot entrances and exits, highway entrances and exits are also promoting unattended and automatic settlement.

Criminal police from various countries looked at the Chinese police's application of high technology and praised them with envy.

Police in Europe and the United States couldn't help but be tempted.

Since September 2001, 9, social security has deteriorated rapidly. They have worked hard for several years, but there has been no improvement. If they can be like China, then social security can be fundamentally reversed.

In addition to facing vicious bombings and shootings, police in European and American countries also face another serious social security problem: illegal immigration.

After nearly a decade of fighting, the United States and Europe have finally stopped. The United States no longer sends African refugees to Europe, and Europe no longer sends Latin American refugees to the United States.

But the problem is that there are already so many illegal immigrants entering Europe and the United States that they have caused serious social problems.

There are huge differences between illegal immigrants and their native country in terms of lifestyle, religion, culture, etc., which leads to massive conflicts.

Moreover, the original industrial chain already exists and cannot be eliminated in a short period of time. There will still be human traffickers doing this business.

Venezuela.

Venezuela is located in the tropics and has only summer but no other seasons. The sun hangs high overhead and the whole earth is scorching hot. However, due to its proximity to the ocean and the warm current of the Atlantic Ocean, it still feels warm. In this dry season, it occasionally rains to ease the climate.

Due to the oil resources, the buildings here are relatively tall. The capital Caracas is full of high-rise buildings and has a population of over 500 million. As the city is surrounded by mountains, the climate is more mild. There are sunny spring days and the charm of tropical beaches. It is called "the capital with unique advantages in the American continent" by many tourists.

At this time, the beaches north of the capital were full of people having fun. Most of them were of mixed race. They looked very beautiful, with curvy figures, and were so sexy in swimsuits.

Latin beauties are world-famous, and more than half of the world's supermodels are of Latin origin.

At this time, on the beach, looking at the beauty in the distance, the two men were discussing with great interest. "Zhou, welcome to Venezuela, thank you for delivering the goods in time!" Chavez said.

Zhou Zhenguo smiled and said, "Chavez, we are old friends. There is no need to question our credibility. We do business based on word of mouth."

Zhou Zhenguo was the squad leader of the "Wolf Warrior Special Forces" at that time. He made many military achievements and won five first-class merits, ten second-class merits, and fifteen third-class merits. He was successively promoted to the captain of the special operations squadron, the captain of the battalion, and the commander of the special operations brigade.

As peacetime began, Zhou Zhenguo felt that life was boring, so he applied to be a mercenary. He was later sent to Latin America, where he was in charge of mercenary affairs in Latin America.

The number of mercenaries of Panshan Group in Latin America is far less than that in Africa. There are only 30,000 mercenaries in the whole of Latin America. They are mainly engaged in providing military training services, security services for politicians and wealthy people, mine security services, etc. to Latin American countries.

Of course, arms trading is also part of the business.

However, due to some tacit understanding, the weapons traded in Latin America do not include medium-range ballistic missiles and cannot attack the US mainland.

What Zhou Zhenguo delivered to Venezuela this time was a batch of air defense weapons, the "Aegis-1" air defense missile system, 2 battalions, 8 launch units, 32 launch systems, 196 missiles, totaling 20 billion yuan.

"Yes, your credibility is worthy of our trust!" Chavez nodded in agreement.

He and Liang Zhenguo knew each other as early as the 90s, and thanks to Liang Zhenguo's help, his career developed very well.

So after winning the election, Chavez returned the favor and strengthened cooperation between the two sides.

After taking charge of Venezuela, Chavez began to promote his own political ideas. He advocated a thorough reform of the country's political system and the establishment of a true democracy with people's participation. He used a tough attitude and tactics to nationalize oil and natural gas, even though the Americans strongly protested and even withdrew their investment.

Relying on rich oil, natural gas, and coal resources, although Americans withdrew their investment, Venezuela has developed very well, especially after 2001, when Venezuela's export revenue increased significantly.

Americans import large amounts of oil from Venezuela, and Venezuela's natural gas is also exported to Europe.

Chavez also nationalized mines, railways, etc., and a large number of state-owned enterprises greatly increased government revenue.

Then Chavez implemented high social welfare and a series of social programs aimed at alleviating poverty and wealth inequality, and he was just short of announcing that Venezuela would implement a socialist system.

In foreign policy, Chávez defied the Washington Consensus, advocated an opposing form of economic planning, and actively promoted solidarity among other Latin American countries.

During this period, the Americans tried to support the Venezuelan opposition and plan a coup in Venezuela, but were defeated by Chavez one after another.

Chavez's reforms have caused great controversy both inside and outside Venezuela, and have won praise and criticism. In the United States, Chavez is equated with dictatorship and tyrant, and is regarded as a thorn in the eye and flesh of the US government.

The CIA has planned assassinations of Chavez dozens of times! (End of this chapter)
