Chairman Mao is a great thinker, revolutionary in China, and a very strategic and forward-looking guide to the New China. We still benefit a lot from some of the things that Chairman Mao once said to this day. Since the great man was in his 20s, he had said a few words to China, but afterwards he actually verified them one by one. He had to sigh at the great man's vision and thoughts and the accuracy of his view of things.
The most amazing thing is the seven predictions made by Chairman Mao. After decades of development, five of them have been realized, and the last one may be realized. So what seven prophecies did Chairman Mao make? Is the chance of realizing the last unproven one?
The first prophecy: Sino-Japanese War
1893 was born in Shaoshan Chong in Xiangtan, Hunan. In his early years, he embarked on the path of communism under the influence of Marxism. He established a local Communist organization in Hunan since 1920. That year, Chairman Mao was only 27 years old. At that time, the warlords in China were in chaos, local tyrants and evil gentry and landlords were rampant, the people were oppressed, and foreign powers were eyeing each other, especially Japan, which quickly rose after the Meiji Restoration of , continued to infiltrate into China.
1916 Chairman Mao was still studying, and Chairman Mao predicted that there would be a war between China and Japan within 20 years. You should know that although Japan's wolf ambitions were revealed at that time, they were not the biggest contradiction. In 1931, the " September 18th Incident " occupied the northeast, and in 1937, the Sino-Japanese War broke out, and the facts perfectly confirmed Chairman Mao's prophecy.
The second prophecy: France will suffer humiliation
1919, the world situation changed. The just-concluded World War I did not calm down Europe. Instead, there was a cloud of dark things about to happen. At that time, no one would have thought that an artist who failed the Vienna would soon stir up the world and bring about a nearly devastating disaster to Europe.
That is, in the same year, Chairman Mao predicted that around 20 years, the French were insulted after all. Sure enough, after , the French quickly lost to Germany after the start of World War II. In order to humiliate France in 1940, in order to humiliate France, Hitler specially arranged the French surrender ceremony to be held in the same carriage signed by Germany in 1918.
The third prophecy: Germany and Japan were in harmony
Japan almost never hid its militaristic ideas at the beginning of the last century, especially during World War II, as a fascist country like Germany, which caused disasters and disasters in many countries and regions. In July 1919, Chairman Mao made a prediction that there might be a major cooperation between Germany and Japan in the future, which will once again bring disaster to the people of the world.
The fourth prophecy: The fifth "anti-encirclement and suppression" will fail
Since The fourth anti-encirclement and suppression , certain problems have occurred in the Central Soviet Area, especially in military command, and some wrong judgments have taken shape. In 1933, Chairman Mao predicted that the next fifth anti-encirclement and suppression of the Red Army might be free of combat opportunities due to the command issue.
At the end of the same year, the Kuomintang once again assembled a large number of troops and carried out crazy encirclement and suppression of the Central Soviet Area. In the end, due to a decision-making mistake, the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression failed, which directly prompted the remaining Red Army troops to be forced to strategically retreat and transfer to northern Shaanxi.
The fifth prophecy: The global nuclear war will not easily occur in the world
From the Anti-Japanese War , China and Japan entered a strategic stalemate stage, the Japanese had certain logistical supply problems, or they could no longer support the outbreak of large-scale wars. That is, during this period, Japan shifted the focus of the invasion to Southeast Asia and the Pacific region, and had conflicts with the old capitalist countries capitalist countries UK and France and the United States. The outbreak of
The outbreak of in the Pacific War prompted the United States to join the war. In order to end the war as soon as possible and to allow Japan to surrender unconditionally, the United States dropped the atomic bomb , which had just been successfully tested for two months, to Japan's Hiroshima and Nagasaki.The emergence of nuclear weapon has also made people around the world realize the power of this new energy.
For a time, many countries were in panic, afraid that if war broke out again, an atomic bomb was thrown into the battlefield, after all, it would be a devastating disaster in human history. However, Chairman Mao does not think so. Based on the analysis of the world situation and future development direction, Chairman Mao believes that nuclear weapons wars cannot be fought at all. The scope of such weapons of mass destruction is simply unbearable to humans, and even users will be affected. Therefore, nuclear countries will not allow nuclear weapons to be easily invested in war.
The sixth prediction: China will have its own atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb within 10 years hydrogen bomb
After the end of World War II, following the US climate, many countries have successfully tested atomic bombs. For a time, nuclear has become an important criterion for measuring the strength of the country. In fact, having an atomic bomb in the world situation at that time may be to better protect oneself and intimidate other countries.
1958 Chairman Mao proposed at the enlarged meeting of the Military Commission of that "we can build a little atomic bomb, hydrogen bomb, and intercontinental missile." At that time, the founding of New China was still short, and many Western countries blocked us with technical and economic blockades. China wanted to study atomic bombs and suffered many restrictions. However, Chairman Mao did not have such concerns. He predicted at the meeting, "It is entirely possible to successfully develop it in 10 years."
1964 China's first atomic bomb exploded. Two years later, we had our own hydrogen bomb. China became the fifth country with nuclear power after the United States, Soviet Union, Britain and France. It can be said that China's relatively stable development environment for decades is closely related to our possession and strength.
The seventh prediction: It will take 100 years for China to catch up with developed countries
There is such a set of comparison data, and I believe many people will be surprised after seeing it. In the 57th year of Qianlong's reign, the New York Stock Exchange on the other side of the ocean was officially established; in the 17th year of Jiaqing on the 19th year of Citibank on the 19th year of Daoguang, the Procter & Gamble company on the other side of the ocean was officially established; in 1940, when China was still in dire straits of the Sino-Japanese War, Americans on the other side of the ocean were already sitting on the sofa drinking ice Coke and watching the cartoon "Cat and Mouse".
China has experienced more than half a century of continuous wars, and its national development started late. By the beginning of the founding of New China, there was still a considerable gap with some developed countries in capitalism. In 1962, Chairman Mao made a prediction that it would take almost 100 years for China to catch up with developed countries in Europe and the United States.
Today, China's economy is developing rapidly, its military strength ranks among the best in the world, and China's vigorous and upward fields have infinite vitality, especially in the past 20 years, China's development speed has reached a level that surprises everyone. It has been 60 years since Chairman Mao made the assertion. With China's current development speed, perhaps China's development will once again confirm the great man's prophecy in the near future.
All of these prophecies reveal Chairman Mao’s wisdom and greatness. His precise foresight and analysis of the future still affects China’s development to this day. He is China’s guide and the world’s wealth.
