21st century world has entered modern society, and human living standards have undergone earth-shaking changes, especially the birth and use of industry, which has led to a rapid improvement in the development of the world. Humans have developed from riding horses to horse-drawn carriages to steam cars, and finally to various cars today. They have also developed from the original cloth to silk, and now they have become gorgeous clothes woven with countless fabrics.
What industry brings to mankind is not just an industrial reform, but a change from the inside out, improving the quality of human life and enriching the requirements of human life. In the past, China missed the industrial revolution that swept the world because of its closeness, so it lags behind other countries in industry. However, after the founding of New China, the country quickly realized the importance of industry to a country's development.
Then China vigorously developed industry, both heavy industry and light industry put in a lot of effort. Therefore, in just a few decades, China has transformed from an agricultural country that missed the industrial revolution into an industrial power, and in a few decades, its economic and military strength has greatly improved, and in a blink of an eye it has become the top three world powers with comprehensive strength. Let’s look at another country that is comparable to China’s strength - Russia.
Russia inherited most of the Soviet Union's legacy after The collapse of and became a country in the world that can compete with the United States. However, the good times did not last long. Perhaps the idea of competing with the United States was deeply rooted. Russia has been focusing on the research of various military weapons for decades after its independence, so Russia's military industry is among the best in the world, and has been improving after inheriting many Soviet technologies.
Originally, when Russia first came out of independence, many countries said that the biggest opponent of the United States was Russia, which would soon become a superpower. But unexpectedly, Russia will eventually lose to the economy. The Soviet Union ignored the development of light industry in China because it attached too much importance to military industry, which led to economic collapse and disintegration. Russia, which inherited the Soviet legacy, also embarked on the Soviet Union's retreat. Russia has been in an arms race with the United States for several years, spending a lot of money.
Of course, Russia does not ignore light industry, because it has been suppressed and sanctioned by dozens of countries in the United States and the West. It is willing to develop itself, but the results are not ideal and progress is slow. In addition, the large amount of foreign debt left over from the Soviet Union needs to be burdened. The most obvious consequence is that the domestic economic situation has always been bad and it has once faced collapse.
In the last century, a military base in Russia that stored missile . Because the base owed the power plant electricity bill, the accumulated amount was as high as one million yuan per day. Because the power plant could not get the electricity bill, the power plant could no longer bear it. In order to stop the loss in time, it chose to shut down the power station.
Without electricity, the military base will not be able to operate, which will have a great impact on the maintenance and operation of the instrument. It is also a threat to national security. So the commander of the military base directly ordered the missile to be pulled to the door of the power plant to deter it, and asked the power plant to restore power supply immediately, otherwise they would be bombed. But power plants also need to operate after all, and the arrears of millions of electricity bills will cause them to suffer serious losses. The power plants still refuse to supply power to the military base. It was not until the government's help that the electricity bill was settled, and the matter was over.
I have to say that Russia, which was just in its early days of independence, had a very difficult life. Once, he made a living by selling arms. Of course, Russia's overall situation is much better now, at least economically more abundant, and Putin has also brought Russia back to its status as a major power.
