Giant pandas are also called "national treasures" as unique to my country's protected animals. In recent years, China's actions to rent giant pandas from other countries overseas have been called "giant panda diplomacy". In this way, it has also greatly promoted the development of bilateral relations between China and other countries. However, it is precisely because of the rareness of giant pandas themselves that a friend once asked questions: During World War II, Japan launched an invasion of China and controlled most of China's territory, but why did it not target giant pandas?
In fact, the actions of Japanese troops during World War II were extreme and extremely cruel. The arrogant Japanese army not only "kill, burn and grab all" China, but also dared to break into foreign churches and many international organizations without taking anyone into consideration. Nowadays, giant pandas have a high popularity after being rented to Japan. Its cute and cute appearance makes many Japanese people willing to queue up for a long time just to take a look at the pandas. Since giant pandas are so popular, why did the Japanese army not attack the giant pandas during the invasion of China?
Relevant people stressed that the popularity of giant pandas today is mainly due to the continuous development of today's society, which was not the case in the early last century. Moreover, because the pandas themselves have a special living environment and are in a relatively remote jungle, this also makes it difficult for Japanese invaders to find panda traces and capture them.
In addition, as the main living area of giant pandas, the Sichuan army's combat style in Anti-Japanese War was strong, and it was famous for being able to fight, which also made the Japanese army very afraid. In addition, Sichuan's geographical environment is very complex, and the Japanese army did not gain obvious advantages here, but instead suffered serious losses. It is under such huge combat pressure that it is difficult for Japanese soldiers to have more energy to find giant pandas.
However, historically, unfortunately, Japan has also captured some giant pandas, with unknown numbers. The cruel Japanese army used it as various experimental subjects, and their subsequent encounters were very miserable and they all died tragically at the hands of the Japanese army. In addition, with the announcement of the giant panda, many Western countries have also paid attention to this rare animal unique to China, and then sent people to hunt the giant pandas. It is reported that a hunting team of hundreds of people appeared in Liangshan area of Sichuan, and this group was from the UK. Fortunately, it was successfully stopped by the army of the Republic of China.
The treatment of giant pandas also reflects the weakness of China at the time, which led to being bullied by all parties and being beaten if you fall behind. This is a bloody lesson. At the same time, it also reminds us younger generations. We need to be vigilant and strengthen prevention at all times and enhance our comprehensive strength as much as possible. Only in this way can we better defend peace. In recent years, the United States and other countries have provoked China several times, but today China has become stronger and has the strength to deal with its deterrence, which fully reflects the importance of national defense system construction.
