Since the founding of the nation, the United States has participated in countless wars and has few rivals.
After World War II, the United States has become the world's top superpower. Whether it is winning the Cold War or sending troops to Iraq and Panama, the United States has won many victories. But only after encountering the new China, the United States has always been ashamed. Whether it is the Korean War directly sent by China, the Vietnam War indirectly supported by China, or the trade war in recent years, the United States has basically never won.
In the 1950s, the Chinese People’s Volunteers sent troops to North Korea. Together with the Korean People’s Army, they defeated the U.S. military and the multinational coalition forces that were unparalleled in World War II. The U.S. military had to sit back on the negotiating table and give up the military occupation of the entire Korean peninsula. attempt.
In the 1960s and 1970s, the United States directly intervened in Vietnam’s Civil War. In addition to warning the United States not to cross the 17th parallel, China also provided great economic and military assistance to the North Vietnamese soldiers and civilians. In the end, North Vietnam defeated the United States and South Vietnam supported by the United States and drove the United States out of the Indo-China Peninsula.
In recent years, the United States has frequently launched economic sanctions against China and fought trade wars. It has also won less and lost more.
So what is the reason that the United States has been unable to defeat China in several fights?
"Knowing what you are fighting for"
First of all, war is not just a competition of weapons and equipment, but economic and financial resources. "People" are the most critical factor in determining the outcome of a war.
Different beliefs, let the Chinese army know why they are fighting. As mentioned in "Bright Sword", on the battlefield to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, the U.S. military’s weapons and equipment and logistical supplies are stronger than those of the volunteers.But there is one thing that the Volunteers can't compare with the U.S. Army, and that is the will to fight.
In the military theory of Western countries, the topic of casualty rate is roughly discussing how much the casualty rate of the army will lead to the collapse of the team. The more common saying is 30%. The US military mentioned in "Field Artillery Operations and Fire Support" that it caused 3% casualties and material losses to the enemy, which is called suppression; causing 10% of losses is called suspension, and 30% of casualties and losses, which can be called annihilation. , That is, it has destroyed the enemy's fighting will, making it impossible to engage in combat for a long time or permanently.
Due to the early European traditions, almost all countries have a relationship. For soldiers, they run if they can't fight, and surrender if they can't run. These are commonplace and reasonable. Being a soldier is just a job. It means that the ruling class has to fight and surrender. It is nothing more than a job with a boss.
"It's three o'clock, drink tea first, the boss won't feel sorry for you".
But these theories seem to apply only to capitalist countries, but not to China or even the entire communist countries. Hitler once wanted to rely on blitzkrieg to destroy the Soviet Union's fighting will and force the Soviet Union to surrender. But he didn't know that even if the German forces captured Moscow, the Soviet Union would not surrender.
The Soviets were defending the fruits of their revolution and defending their country. The 23 Soviet soldiers could all stand the Pavlov Building for more than 50 days under the heavy encirclement of the German army. This was enough to embarrass the French and let the German aggressors understand that the Soviets would not succumb.
Similarly, the Chinese have suffered humiliation in modern times, and they finally brought down the bourgeoisie and imperialism and established a new China. Defending the home and defending the country is the highest belief of the Chinese military. With this belief, the Volunteers are not afraid of the U.S. military or sacrifice. Even if they are surrounded by heavy siege and run out of ammunition and food, they still choose to fight the enemy to the last minute.
Jia Wenqi, instructor of the 188th Division of the Volunteer Army, once said: “We have a belief in North Korea that our China was burned, killed and looted by Japanese devils. With this belief, this tragic situation must never be repeated in our motherland. Even if we die, we must push the enemy back."
It is this spirit that created the "Ice Sculpture Company" that was frozen to death in Changjin Lake, but maintained a fighting posture; it created the 63rd Army that was almost annihilated in the Cheorwon Suppression, but still fighting to death; Created a "company of heroes" that stood up to the enemy's artillery and defended Shangganling.
The Germans would not understand why the Soviet political commissar would shout "We have no way out, behind Moscow" under the pressure of the army; just as the Americans would not understand, why did Zhao Xianyou order the correspondent to shout "Shoot at me in order to win".
In many battle missions that are known to be nine deaths, or extremely dangerous disaster relief operations, the military and even civil organizations will spontaneously sign the war petition and even write their wills on the battlefield. This is a scene in Western countries. Basically it is invisible. Typical examples are the Chernobyl incident in the Soviet Union, and China's various flood relief and earthquake relief efforts.
The communist will to fight and the powerful fighting power that can burst for the country and the people are not available in Western countries that are full of "liberal democracy".
The love of fish and water between the army and the people
The Chinese army comes from the people. For the people, it will naturally be loved by the people. The Chinese people standing behind the Chinese army will always be their strong backing.
In 1927, Chairman Mao led the world-famous "Sanwan Adaptation" in Sanwan Village, Yongxin County, Jiangxi Province.The proletarian nature of the army has been determined, and the basic ideas for establishing the people's army have also been established. Different from the common phenomenon of a family of soldiers and bandits and embarrassment at that time, the Red Army formulated various rules of the army at the beginning of the establishment of the army, which gradually evolved into the "three major disciplines and eight attentions" that everyone is familiar with. It now appears that it is normal to "not take the masses a needle and a thread", but in that era of turmoil, only the Red Army can do this.
The Red Army established a revolutionary base in Jinggang Mountain. Here, there is no exploitation or oppression. The military and the people are close to each other. The Red Army relies on the masses, and the masses also support the Red Army. In 1934, due to the situation, the Red Army had to leave the Central Soviet Area for the Long March. Hundreds of thousands of people in the base were all sad. They reluctantly sent them away with tears, saying, "The Red Army is gone, the white bandits are coming, and we have no good life." The people firmly believe that only the Red Army can make them live a good life.
Later, the Red Army was renamed the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army and the People’s Liberation Army, but the glorious tradition of uniting the people has not changed. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Marshal Nie Rongzhen commended the local People's Liberation Army troops in the Jinchaji base area behind the enemy, calling these armed forces that originated from the people and served the people wholeheartedly as "child soldiers." This title was deeply loved by the commanders and the people, and gradually spread, and later became the people's cordial name for the leadership and armed forces of our party.
Guerrilla warfare is very powerful, but not every army can fight it, and not every army has such conditions. During the War of Liberation, the people supported the front-line People's Liberation Army one after another. On the battlefield in East China, as soon as Chiang Kai-shek's troops arrived, the people stood firm and cleared the country, helping the People's Liberation Army pass information, transport supplies, and take care of the wounded. As soon as the PLA came, the people boiled water to cook, carrying large pots and small bowls to support the front line.
In the entire Huaihai Campaign, a total of 5.43 million former migrant workers were dispatched, using more than 500,000 heavy loaders and stretchers, 880,000 large and small vehicles, and 760,000 livestock. They transported 210 million of their own food to the front. Kilogram,7.3 million kilograms of ammunition, oil, salt, meat and other materials are countless. Chen Yi once sighed: "The victory of the Huaihai Campaign was launched by the masses of people with cars." From this point of view, there is no reason for Jiang Jun to be invincible.
During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, when the frontline wars were raging, China’s rear was not idle either. In response to the call of the country, the people in China began to knit cotton clothes and trousers for the frontline soldiers. In the winter of 1950, there was also a mass movement of "every household making fried noodles" on the land of China, and large pots of fried noodles were set up in the streets and alleys, day and night. The cooked fried noodles passed through the northeastern region and delivered to the Korean volunteers to support them in the fight.
Fried noodles are the "minimum guarantee of living", but they are full of the affection of the people of the motherland. Volunteers ate these crude field foods and defeated the American army who ate canned food, biscuits, candies and bread.
After the counterattack against Vietnam, our country has not experienced a war for a long time, but the "feeling of fish and water" between the military and civilians has never been broken. From flood fighting to earthquake relief, to fighting the new crown epidemic, wherever China has been hit by the disaster, where will there be PLA soldiers.
When a disaster occurs, the People's Liberation Army will always rush to the disaster area as soon as possible, rushing to the most dangerous place. For example, in the 1998 Jiujiang flood fight, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Military Region of the People's Liberation Army, under the leadership of commander-in-chief Dong Wanrui, rushed to the mouth of the Jiujiang Lake to rush to build a cofferdam. For days and nights, the PLA soldiers ate a bite of dry food when they were hungry, and squinted their eyes when changing shifts when they were sleepy. Their trouser legs were covered in mud, and their bodies were soaked. They couldn’t tell whether it was rain or sweat. When the situation was dangerous, they jumped into the water and built a series of “people’s embankments” to ensure the lives of the people despite the dangers of their lives. Property safety.
And this is just a microcosm of the 300,000 People's Liberation Army participating in flood fighting across the country.
Wenchuan earthquake in 2008,It was the first time the People's Liberation Army flew to the disaster area. They raced against time, rescued the trapped people from the rubble, and rescued people from death. They rescued the buried lives, helped the disaster-stricken area build houses and rebuild their homes, and their kindness to the people in the disaster-stricken area was higher than the mountains and deeper than the sea.
Although they did not know each other, the people in the disaster area saw the PLA as if they saw the savior. The phrase "the PLA comes, we will save it", which represents the aspirations of the people. As sung in the song: "I don't know who you are, but I know who you are for."
In the rescue, the people who escaped also actively supported the People's Liberation Army. The People's Liberation Army is disciplined and cannot live in the homes of the masses. Many people sleep in the disaster areas and on the streets. The masses will send them beddings and pillows; the People's Liberation Army is too busy to rescue and have no time to eat, so the masses will send drinks and food; after the disaster is relieved, In order not to disturb the people, the People's Liberation Army planned to evacuate quietly, but the roadside in the early hours of the morning was full of people who saw them off.
People have regarded their children as their relatives. The People’s Liberation Army has disciplinary regulations. People are not allowed to take things from the masses, so people forcefully stuff them into the People’s Liberation Army. They also forcibly “deliver” supplies that represent their gratitude to the People’s Liberation Army’s vehicles. On top, or their own eggs, or apples on the tree. People expressed their gratitude in the simplest way and sent off the PLA with tears. Such scenes abound in disaster relief scenes in China.
At another farewell place, people also spontaneously sang a song "Farewell" to pay tribute to the People's Liberation Army. This is reminiscent of the song "Ten Send to the Red Army" that the masses of the Central Soviet Area sang when they said goodbye to the Red Army more than 70 years ago. That army is still there for so long.
When these scenes were posted on the Internet, not only the United States, but most Western countries couldn’t understand them. They asked: “It’s hard to understand why they (the People’s Liberation Army) don’t bring guns. They should protect themselves in the disaster-stricken areas. In order to maintain the safety of the region."
Yes, according to the logic of Western countries, they don't understand what "child soldiers" are. According to the rules of Western countries, the military is only responsible for fighting. Even when participating in disaster relief, most of them are only responsible for maintaining public order, undertaking transportation, protecting infrastructure, identifying the deceased, and handling the remains. The disaster relief work is undertaken by civil agencies and civil organizations. And in these countries, people often take advantage of the chaos to rob property and start riots. In this way, we can understand why Westerners believe that the army needs to carry a gun when entering the disaster area.
If you "send" supplies to the western army as you did in China, the army will most likely think it is a terrorist attack and surprise you on the spot. China is different from them. The People's Liberation Army and the people in the disaster area are like relatives, so naturally there is no need to bring guns into the disaster area. In this regard, a Chinese netizen answered the foreigner’s question, "In China, the military and civilians belong to one family, and our guns are reserved for the enemy."
In early July this year, an apartment in Miami, the United States collapsed and 140 people were buried in the rubble. As a result, apart from the people who escaped that day, none of the buried persons were rescued. More than 20 days have passed. During these 20-odd days, Biden was busy with condolences, the governor was busy with shows, online celebrities prayed online, and various media interviewed and reported on the rescue team, but they just did not rescue.
At the beginning of the disaster, the U.S. rescue team had nearly 400 people on the scene. Just as they were preparing for the rescue, they suddenly stopped. It turned out that one person in the rescue team was detected with the new crown and Hurricane Elsa was about to make landfall. In the "humanitarian spirit for the life of the rescue team", the United States directly abandoned the rescue and found a pet cat near the apartment to speak for their "rescue operation." They say "this is a small miracle", "we have done all our efforts", "representing the brilliance of humanity" and so on...
if it is placed in China,In any case, he will do his best to rescue people. The United States not only does not rescue, the mayor of Colorado even directly stated: "Rescue is something that socialist countries can do, and only the strong can survive." The United States has been criticizing other countries for "violating human rights", but what is the real "human rights", I believe everyone has an answer in their hearts.
The conditions and spirit of military-civilian unity are not available in the United States. Chairman Mao once said, "The military and the people are united as one person. Let's see who can be the enemy in the world." . If there is a war, it is self-evident whether China or the United States can organize a stronger force and how many citizens choose to stand with the country.
Unity is strength
Another point is culture. The Chinese civilization, which has been precipitating for a long time, is more and more able to show its advantages when facing Western civilization.
Chinese people love peace, but they are not afraid of war. This is the basic philosophy of New China in dealing with external forces. As early as more than two thousand years ago, our ancestors mentioned this. There is a saying in "Simafa Renben": "Although the country is big, it will perish if it is warlike; although the world is safe, if you forget the battle, you will be in danger."
We do not invade other countries, do not take the initiative to pick things, but we are never afraid of things. The United States launched aggression against North Korea. Premier Zhou issued a statement: "The Chinese people love peace, but in order to defend peace, they have never and never afraid of resisting a war of aggression."
We are famous for our teachers, and we are infinitely glorious to defend our home and our country.
The Chinese know how to keep a low profile. Zhu Yuanzhang’s counselor Zhu Sheng once suggested to him a strategy for calming the world: “Build a high wall,Accumulate food, and slowly become king.” Strength is the last word. When strength is weak, such as before and after the Gulf War, the Chinese take the initiative to hide themselves and act in a low-key manner to show the enemy’s weakness. When the enemy’s attention is drawn away, we will Efforts to develop the economy and enhance its own strength. Today, the gap between China and the world's number one country has gradually narrowed, and it has narrowed to the point where the other party can no longer act recklessly.
Chinese people know how to unite and unite friends. In North Korea. When it was in crisis with Vietnam, China knew the truth about the death of the lips and the teeth, and resolutely sent troops to drive the enemy out of North Korea and the Indochina Peninsula. In the 1960s and 1970s, under the control of the West, China was isolated by the international community, and China united in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Friends of China have expanded their international influence and been “carried into the United Nations by African countries.” Today, the United States relies on its accumulated capital to suck blood globally, while China relies on its steadily growing strength to develop economic and trade cooperation with many countries , Mutual benefit and win-win.
The Chinese also know that "you can stand invincible without fighting an unprepared battle." There is a saying in the "Army of Sun Tzu", "Plan and move, know Stop and gain.” China’s several troop dispatches after the founding of the People’s Republic of China were all based on “can fight, be fought, and must be fought.” Before the Korean War to Resist U.S. Aid, the chairman analyzed: “We don’t send troops and let the enemy press the Yalu River. Increased domestic and international reactionary arrogance will be detrimental to all parties. First of all, it will be even more detrimental to the Northeast. The entire Northeast Frontier Army will be absorbed and the power of the South Manchuria will be controlled. In short, we believe that we should participate in the war and must participate in the war. The benefits of participating in the war are great, and the damage to not participating in the war is great.”
When deciding to participate in the war, it is necessary to formulate a combat plan. At that time, China analyzed the battlefield situation and came up with three types of wars. The possible result, but it is undoubtedly more advantageous than sending troops. After careful deployment, the Chinese People’s Volunteers crossed the Yalu River, joined the Korean War, and eventually pushed the US military back to the 38th line.
Self-defense counterattack against India At that time, China also seized the opportunity of the Cuban missile crisis and formulated a detailed and thorough plan, which defeated the main force of India in one fell swoop and shattered Nehru's ambitions.The only thing I didn't expect was that the rate of collapse of the Indian army far exceeded our army's vision.
The Chinese are also about unity. Since the first emperor, unification has been the main theme of China, and any behavior that covets China will not be supported. During the Three Kingdoms period, even though the Wei, Han and Wu struggled endlessly, the goal was to unify the world. In the face of foreign enemies, the three countries always reached an agreement surprisingly. Cao Wei conquered Wuhuan, attacked the North Xiongnu, the Shu Han suppressed the Southern Barbarian, and the Eastern Wu defeated Baiyue, never letting Chinese territory fall into the hands of Yi Di at that time.
In 1962, in order to deal with China, India colluded with a large number of anti-China forces, but when it found the transportation team leader, the team leader resolutely refused. Being both Chinese, the brothers fought against the wall to guard against their humiliation. The captain scolded India's aggressive behavior and expressed support for the PLA's "full print". When the PLA won the battle, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
The people who know unity most are the Chinese people. As early as during the War of Resistance Against Japan, Chinese soldiers and civilians created "Unity is Strength" to encourage people to unite and fight against aggression. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the country is waiting to be revived. The Chinese people, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, united as one to build the motherland together, and soon achieved the country’s industrialization. In the face of many difficulties, the Chinese can obey the organization and arrangements, and leave a small family as everyone, so that the country's various decisions can be effectively implemented.
In the face of natural disasters, the Chinese can be united and united. After the disaster, not only the People's Liberation Army, but also many non-governmental organizations arrived at the scene and participated in the rescue. The people who escaped from danger organized spontaneously to help the People's Liberation Army rescue the victims. People all over the country shouted, "One side is in trouble, all sides support", and organized one after another to rush to the disaster area for rescue; all sectors of society also have money to contribute, and make efforts to help the disaster area together.
In 2018, there was a heavy rain in Japan, which dropped by about 300-500 mm. The floods caused directly caused more than 200 deaths.Alarmed the United Nations, the United Nations urgently sent a large number of personnel to Japan for rescue. In Zhengzhou's torrential rain a few days ago, the amount of precipitation in one day on July 20 reached 620 millimeters, and the rain continued to fall. Although the disaster is urgent, with the support of the people of the whole country, Zhengzhou has been able to tide over the difficulties and does not need to rely on the assistance of the United Nations. China has shown strong cohesion in the face of the disaster. May I ask which country can do it?
Incidentally, floods caused by more than 200 millimeters of precipitation in Germany caused more casualties than Zhengzhou. Those who are bragging about Japan and Germany and the excellent city construction can rest.
China is another country that respects heroes. Heroes will be admired and loved in China, and they will be regarded as role models, and they will be extremely glorious. A country that respects heroes will have a steady stream of heroes standing up. Many people who are unknown in daily life burst out with great power in the face of disasters.
Not to mention war, just in the disaster situation, a large number of heroes have emerged. Some voluntarily organize the evacuation of the masses, some take the initiative to help the shocked masses with artificial respiration, some jump into the flood to save people, and some let women and children evacuate themselves first. They are ordinary and great. Inspired by heroes' deeds and correct values, more heroes will emerge in China.
Conclusion
The political system is not the advantage of the United States. Haiti and Liberia almost completely copy the system of the United States, but they are now the worst countries in Latin America and Africa. The advantage of the United States comes from riding on the express train of the Second Industrial Revolution, making the fortunes of the two world wars, and establishing a world currency system headed by the US dollar after World War II, using capital and currency to harvest the world for itself Blood supply.
The United States once regarded the Soviet Union as its greatest enemy. What the United States fears most is the Soviet communist ideology. "Freedom" meets "fairness".There is a possibility of being subverted. It is a pity that the Soviet Union did not hold on to its original intention of "liberating all mankind."
If you enter, you will not be able to go home, and if you exit, you will be invincible. The country will die. The United States, which has lost its competitor of the Soviet Union, has many internal racial and human rights issues. External interference in other countries’ internal affairs has caused many countries to dare not speak, and the United States is no longer a beacon of human civilization.
Today, the United States regards China as its main competitor. When the economy and technology are almost the same, people are the decisive factor in competition. Therefore, we need not be afraid of pressure from the United States. We should believe in our strengths, and while caring about the international situation, we should strive to do our own job well and watch the changes.
Biden
, to borrow Chairman Mao’s words: "Let the internal and external reactionaries tremble in front of us, let them say that we can’t do it, that’s not okay, the Chinese people’s indomitable. Efforts will surely achieve their goals steadily."
