After the Second World War , all countries around the world cherish the hard-won peace, but peace is relatively the same. Some parts of the world still face the threat of war. For example, in Africa, various armed conflicts often occur, which affect the lives and safety of local people. In the Middle East, for example, hundreds of battles and conflicts of varying sizes broke out after World War II. It also had a certain impact on the global stable situation.
Whether it is an armed conflict or a small-scale battle, as long as you fight, it is cruel, and the ordinary people will suffer in the end. No matter what type of war it is, weapons are needed, such as guns, bullets, and various bombs. If the war is larger, all it needs is tanks, fighter jets, missiles, , etc., and the number is very large, so war is very expensive.
As we all know, the United States has its current status internationally because of war. The United States made money from wars during World War I and World War II, selling weapons and ammunition to those countries that participated in the war, making a lot of money. During the war years, many countries lost their national strength and declined due to war, while the United States gradually rose up through war, and even successfully squeezed out Germany and became a country as powerful as the Soviet Union. Later, it squeezed out the Soviet Union and became the only superpower.
The United States can make a fortune by selling weapons and ammunition. It is hard to imagine how much arms inventory the United States has. As a country with developed arms trade, there are many ammunition databases in the United States, and the capacity of the ammunition database is not small. The reason why the United States built so many ammunition databases was because the US-Soviet contenders that year was the .
Both are superpowers, but the Soviet Union developed earlier than the United States, so naturally the Soviet Union was much stronger in terms of strength. Even though the Soviet Union suffered a lot in World War II, it could still beat the United States by military alone, and the United States was naturally unwilling to give up, so if it wanted to confront the Soviet Union, it naturally had to reserve more strength. If the two countries really fight, the United States will have enough weapons and ammunition to deal with the Soviet Union.
Among so many ammunition depots in the United States, there is one of the largest ammunition in the world. It is said that the ammunition stored in it can fully support the United States to fight another world war . It is located in the Lorraine Air Force Base, covering an area of 58 square kilometers. It was also established during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. It is understood that at the climax of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, the number of ammunition in the arsenal reached its peak, with the number of bullets alone reaching 5 billion rounds, and with other shells, the total weight was more than 10 million tons, which is a very terrifying data.
Establishing such a huge arms ammunition depot is to prevent the Soviet Union, but there has never been a head-on conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. Due to economic reasons, the Soviet Union could not support the disintegration. And the ammunition in the US arsenal has been retained. However, ammunition retention is also a deadline. In 1994, the United States transferred the ammunition from the base. After all, the Soviet Union, its biggest competitor, is gone, and peaceful development is the future trend.
It is said that it took the United States six years to empty the ammunition in the base alone. Of course, these ammunitions were just moved to other bases for military training. Later, most of them were sold to other countries in the world, and some of them were used up by the US military in the many Middle East Wars. In short, no matter how much money the United States made without any bullet.
