The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

The meal is not finished yet.

Zhou Zhenguo's phone rang.

After answering the call, Zhou Zhenguo's face changed.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Zhenguo's eyes turned red and tears rolled down his face.

"Old Zhou, what's wrong?" Chu Xingguo said, "Tell me what you want to know. I'll see if there's anything I can help with."

Zhou Zhenguo wiped his tears and said, "Old Zhou, I have to go back to Kun City. Wolf Head is critically ill!"

"What!" Chu Xingguo was shocked. He naturally knew who the 'Wolf Head' Zhou Zhenguo was talking about!
That was the first captain of the Wolf Warriors Special Forces!
"I'll arrange a military transport plane for you to go back!" Chu Xingguo said.

Zhou Zhenguo waved his hand and said, "No need, I'll contact the group's plane!"

As he spoke, Zhou Zhenguo picked up his phone to make a call.

Chu Xingguo asked the guard to send Zhou Zhenguo to the airport. After arriving at Kunming Airport, Zhou Zhenguo took a taxi home first, then tidied himself up before setting off for Panshan Hospital Main Hospital.

I went to the hospital for disinfection and changed into visiting clothes.

After the nurse’s repeated instructions, Zhou Zhenguo finally entered the ICU.

In the ICU, Chen Yuanchao was lying on the bed with his eyes quietly closed. The machine next to him was displaying the characteristics of Chen Yuanchao's physical condition.

Zhou Zhenguo felt very upset and couldn't help but recall the past.

When the Wolf Warriors Special Forces were formed, Chen Yuanchao selected 40 people for training. At that time, no one knew what a special forces team was or what special forces soldiers were. They relied on Liu Tao's ideas to explore the situation.

It was this exploration that made the Wolf Warriors the first special forces team in China and made outstanding achievements in all wars.

The Wolf Warriors special forces are responsible for carrying out the most dangerous missions.

Of the 40 people back then, less than half are still alive today.

Zhou Zhenguo remembered that Chen Yuanchao was about two or three years older than him.

But now he was lying on the bed, not moving at all.

When Zhou Zhenguo walked out of IUC, he met Liu Yongxin.

The person who called him was his old leader Liu Yongxin.

At that time, Liu Yongxin served as the commander of the 40th Regiment of the 119th Division. He performed brilliantly in the "Red Dragon's Roar" military operation and was transferred to the 41st Division.

He is currently serving in the Chengdu Military Region.

Chen Yuanchao's family members were also in the hospital.

A week later.

Zhou Zhenguo had to leave Kun City and go to the capital.

During this week, Zhou Zhenguo went to the hospital to visit Chen Yuanchao every day, talking to Chen Yuanchao about the past.

But now, he has to set off for Beijing because Chavez is visiting China.

As the head of Panshan Group in Latin America, Zhou Zhenguo had to go to Beijing.

In the courtyard, Liu Tao invited Zhou Zhenguo to have dinner together.

"What do you think are the risks of cooperating in the development of the 'Orinoco Mineral Belt'?" Liu Tao brought up the business after dinner. Zhou Zhenguo paused for a moment before saying, "Leader, Chavez's position is very clear, that is, he is anti-American. Of course, he is against the United States based on Venezuela's own interests."

"Given Chavez's current situation, he can still rule Venezuela for at least 20 years or even longer. Our relationship with Venezuela is based on pragmatism, and even after Chavez, I think this relationship will not change much," Zhou Zhenguo said. "There are risks, but the benefits are huge."

Liu Tao nodded. In fact, Panshan Group had been considering and planning this matter.

After all, the Orinoco Mineral Belt has large amounts of oil, natural gas, and minerals, all of which are worth developing.

Of course, another very important reason is to promote the relationship between the two sides.

As Zhou Zhenguo said, the relationship between the two sides is actually based on a pragmatic relationship, or a relationship of interest.

The two countries are separated by the Pacific Ocean and tens of thousands of kilometers apart, which means that there are no fundamental conflicts between them.

Even if Venezuela develops, China would be happy to see it, because it means that the Venezuelan market will become bigger and the total bilateral trade volume can be further expanded.

Win-win cooperation and common development is also a basic principle of China's external relations.

One of the key issues that both sides will discuss during Chavez's visit to China is the exploration and development of the Orinoco mineral belt.

In addition, the two sides will also hold cooperation negotiations on railways, high-speed railways, subways, 3G communications, communications, ports, reservoirs and hydropower stations, thermal power stations and other aspects.

If the two sides launch large-scale cooperation, it will probably only take about ten years for Venezuela to truly become an industrial country.

The same is true for the Colombian collaboration.

If the two sides really develop further, the areas of cooperation will be all-round.

As China has developed to this point, it has already faced a situation of overcapacity.

In order to solve this problem, on the one hand, we are carrying out supply-side reform, on the other hand, we are expanding domestic demand, and on the other hand, we are developing overseas markets and allowing capital to go out.

Now, the first choice for capital to go abroad is to develop in Southeast Asia; the second choice is to go to the 14 countries in South Asia, but there is always a risk of war in these 14 countries because of India. The third choice is to go to the Middle East to open up markets, especially in oil-rich countries such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Oman. The third choice is to venture into Africa, which has rich natural resources and great room for development.

Finally comes Latin America, because Latin America is too far away from China and far away from the Eurasian continent.

However, once capital is further pushed to flow to South America, then under macro-control, some capital will inevitably go to South America.

China is different from the United States. China is more government-led, and the government's influence is huge.

But there is also a hidden danger here, that is, Latin America is too close to the United States. Once the United States wants to make trouble, it will be much easier than in the Middle East.

The United States has been working in Latin America for nearly two hundred years, and its influence in Latin America cannot be underestimated.

Whether it is the Americans acting as troublemakers and stirring up trouble in Latin America, or the United States using various means to change the situation in Latin American countries and reap the fruits of victory, then relatively speaking, someone will suffer losses.

Isn’t this the reason why China’s private entrepreneurs dare to invest on a large scale in Southeast Asia?

This is the projection of power!

"What do you think about agriculture in Venezuela?" Liu Tao asked about agriculture in Venezuela.

Venezuela has 3000 million hectares of arable land, of which about 300 million hectares are planted, 1713 million hectares are pastures, and 310 million hectares are forested. The number of people employed in agriculture accounts for about 13% of the Venezuelan population, but Venezuela's agriculture is not large or strong.

Panshan Group has a farm in Venezuela that uses large-scale production machines. The total farm area is about 30 hectares, specializing in the production of rice, soybeans, etc.

This time, one of the development directions of the two sides is cooperation in agriculture. Chavez wants to use the power of China to develop Venezuela's agriculture and make up for Venezuela's biggest shortcoming. (End of this chapter)
