First make a statement, I am not a war dealer, I am just interested in calculating it. Please take away the children's shoes you don't like. Regarding the issue of resource blockade during the war, whether we can maintain domestic demand, I have actually done two issues. Friends who have seen it know that we made calculations based on the premise of pure defense and not launching wars to the outside world. However, if the war mode is really started, offense is undoubtedly the best defense, and if it can be taken over, it will naturally be more cost-effective. Of course, we only discussed the two parts of oil and grain. Today, we will show you with the multi-dimensional angle of all materials, including iron ore, rubber, oil, grain and even strategic space. With our current strength, can we break the blockade and win?
If the war at the World War level breaks out, we will most likely fight alone in the world, and all resources must be found by ourselves. So, what are the important resources around us?
As a superpower, once our country is deeply trapped in a war of national strength, it will undoubtedly be a catastrophic world war breaking out, because no country can rely on its own efforts to make us do our best. After such an intense war broke out, the external aid we could rely on might not be reliable, so we still have to fight for it through our own hands. The most important thing in maintaining war is to require weapons and ammunition in addition to food and population. We have no problem with population and food. The main reason is that the production and application of weapons and ammunition requires a huge industrial foundation, while the operation of huge industries requires important resources such as oil and iron ore. The production and operation of weapons and ammunition are actually based on resource conversion. Wars are consumption, and the resource base is consumption. As for why modern wars are still war of attrition, I don’t want to explain this anymore. If you are interested, just turn left and open my previous articles to read it!
According to the current situation of the world factories in my country, we import natural resources from the world, and then process them into industrial products and sell them to other markets around the world. This is the reason why we have so many people and still have something to do. Once the war comes, the export demand for shoes, socks and toilet paper is nothing, and it doesn’t matter whether it can be sold. The key is whether we still have enough raw materials to maintain the production of aircraft tank , and maintain the production of warship and missile . This is something we need to consider now!
Of course, this question depends on how much the war is consumed and what opponents are fighting against. Since we have set the intensity of the war, we naturally need to fight with superpowers and even many countries. However, in fact, once the war begins, we may really face enemies from multiple countries, and this needs to be recognized. Therefore, in order to obtain as many resources as possible, we must be prepared to fight alone in the world.
The resources required to consume in a big battle are huge. We need the most oil, the most rubber and other resources. Only by having enough resources can we enrich the offensive capabilities of war machines through industrial production capabilities and win victory in this war. Our country is a resource-rich country, and there is no doubt that our reserves of iron ore, oil and other strategic resources rank very high in the world. If the opponent can obtain more resources to fight against us, does it mean that our strength will be gradually weakened? So we must also obtain resources from the outside as much as possible. In terms of the resources required by war, iron ore, coal, natural gas, oil and rubber, food, etc. are undoubtedly the most important.
The neighbors around us have oil, South China Sea has oil, Southeast Asia is rich in rubber, Afghanistan has copper ore , several adjacent Stan states have natural gas, and Middle East has oil and natural gas, but it needs to be transported by sea. If there are pipelines on land, transportation on land is also possible. In addition, Africa and Australia have high-quality iron ore.In other words, we should obtain the resources of the earth as much as possible, which is the key to ensuring our victory. Even if we cannot use it, we cannot let our opponents use it. This is an opportunity for either one or the other, one to rise or fall! It is a question of understanding strategic resources!
The second question is, in order to ensure sufficient supply of our own resources and not allow our opponents to obtain sufficient resources, what do we need to do?
If you want to get the resources in peacetime, just pay for it. If the total amount of resources is small, you only need to spend a higher price and you can still get it. But this is not the case during wartime. You can also buy or grab it during wartime. It depends on who has a hard fist. The world's resources mainly rely on sea transportation, so developing a strong navy and having super strong sea combat capabilities is the key to ensuring that our side can obtain resources but not allowing opponents to obtain resources.
During World War II, Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor was to obtain Southeast Asia's oil and other resources. The United States naturally understood this, so before it drove Japan out of Southeast Asia, it deployed the submarine to attack Japan's oil tanker , resulting in the United States sinking it even if Japan obtained Southeast Asian oil, most of the cruise ships were transported back to Japan. In the late period of the war, although Japan still occupied Southeast Asia, a ship of oil could not be transported back to Japan, which was equivalent to cutting off Japan's oil supply!
If we want to obtain the most resources as much as possible, we also need to open up the sea routes, while maintaining a huge naval fleet, and strategically block the enemy when necessary. Speaking of this, there will be a countermeasure that children's shoes will propose, such as what if the opponent develops weapons that control the sea with land? Just like our Dongfeng 26, if the range can be increased, this weapon has global attack capabilities. Therefore, after obtaining sea control, the opponent's ability to attack seas is also needed to eliminate the opponent's sea attack, especially the long-range precision guided weapon . This requires us to have excellent anti-satellite combat capabilities and can destroy all space-based satellites in the short term. If the opponent does not have satellite available, does it mean that the war will definitely be brought back to the traditional range of sight? Therefore, space will definitely be a battlefield in future wars, and there is no doubt that this is, so it is very necessary to develop space weapons now!
The way to not want the opponent to obtain resources is not only blocked, but also to take resources for yourself. If the army is dispatched to occupy the resources, the opponent can only defeat the enemy in the occupied land first, and then consider the transportation issue. The core of the above methods is to establish a powerful army, quickly control resources and defeat the transportation channels for the opponent to obtain resources through military occupation and control of the ocean!
Do we have the ability to build the most powerful army in the world during wartime?
Whether we can build the most powerful army is the key to whether we can obtain external space when facing war. We have many opponents, and there is also a super powerful one. So we have to surpass our opponents to have a chance.
If we need to conduct military occupation of the resource location, according to the current situation, we need at least 10 million powerful army, equipped with more than 100,000 tanks, hundreds of thousands of drones, and tens of thousands of helicopters. Judging from our production capacity, these are not problems. The number of heavy trucks, cars, and agricultural machinery we produce every year is as high as 30 million. These vehicle manufacturers can produce military products during wartime. Just like Ford and , Mercedes-Benz and can build aircraft during World War II. We can also quickly transform the domestic heavy industry and quickly complete military industry. We have a huge population and the ability to organize hundreds of millions of troops, so we will occupy all the places connected to our land by land, which is not a big problem.
Second, anti-satellite combat capability, in fact, this is very easy. In wartime, you only need to detonate a thermonuclear bomb over the predetermined orbit to ensure that all satellites passing through a certain area fail.You can also shoot down your opponent's satellites through anti-satellite weapon . I believe these are not too big problems. Compared with satellite deployment, shooting down or destroying satellites in orbit will not only be cheaper, but also have a shorter time. Therefore, I don’t think it is necessary to quickly re-network when satellites are destroyed during space warfare, because compared with the cost of attack, the cost of re-network is undoubtedly expensive. If you fall into a war of attrition, it will definitely be beneficial to attack one side!
Third, it is a problem with the navy and air force. How many navy and air force are we capable of building? According to World War II standards, the United States defeated Japan and Germany, and at the same time assisted the Allies, building hundreds of thousands of aircraft, hundreds of thousands of tanks and tens of millions of tons of warships. It took about three to five years to show the terrifying production capacity of the United States at that time. However, the quality of aircraft during World War II is incomparable to the present. As mentioned in the comment section, an Mustang fighter is equivalent to the cost of several jeeps, so it is not that difficult to build. Today's fighter jets not only have larger combat and more tonnage, but also have a cost that is far from comparable to those of a car. The price of any high-performance fighter is as high as tens of millions of dollars. Therefore, there will be no more hundreds or thousands of fighter jets in cluster bombing on the battlefield in the future. Instead, with the advancement of modern technology and the improvement of fighter performance, only a small number of fighters can be used to complete large-scale airspace control. Therefore, 30,000 to 50,000 fighters should be enough to fight the world.
For the Navy, like during World War II, it still requires a large number of warships! And it may be more than needed during World War II. Because the weapons are now more advanced in performance and more efficient in strike against ships, the navy will suffer great losses during wartime. In addition, in the early stages of the war, the opponent will not give up his space advantage, and global detection of the navy will still exist, and a global strike is naturally possible. But as space war continues, space will fall into ruins in a state of continuous war. When the space station is over, the traditional naval war will begin. At this time, it will be a traditional naval war within 500 kilometers!
If we want to control the ocean, the opponent's naval strength is not a weak navy. If we want to defeat them, large-scale construction is required. Fortunately, we have an annual shipbuilding capacity of 40 million tons of dwt-nnage . As long as we need it, we can convert one-quarter of the production capacity of and overwhelm the navies of all other countries in one year. So this is still very easy.
Have you noticed the above statement? I made assumptions based on weapons production and troop equipment set based on global attack and global occupation. In fact, our weapons stock today is enough to arm ten million army. If the naval production capacity is increased casually, it can leap first in the world in a short period of time. Not only does it have the largest number, but the quality of naval ships is also very excellent. In terms of military potential, our country's production capacity and potential are undoubtedly the greatest, so no one can block us through conventional wars. If the opponent really does this, what is waiting for them may not be a simple attack war, but our anti-blockade.
Of course, the above descriptions are based on conventional wars, and often do not appear in the situation of conventional wars in the war of life and death. nuclear war is an indispensable means. And fighting nuclear war is a nightmare that all mankind cannot afford. So we just calculate it casually. Besides, our neighboring countries do not have strong countries, and they are unwilling to face our anger. When a war of survival and death really breaks out, most countries will still choose to be neutral outside the country. After all, the distance is too close and hostile tendency means the disaster of destruction. Most countries will keep a clear mind during war and be able to do business and make money. Why do they have to pay for their lives?
The world war cannot be fought, and no country has the courage to force a nuclear power into a corner. So we don’t have to over-care about the scale of future wars.Of course, the prerequisite is that we have strong strength. Once we continue to decline like Russia, it is hard to say. Therefore, the competition of the country is ultimately a competition of strength. Only by maintaining strong potential for war can the opponent dare not resolve conflicts with you in the form of war. Strategically speaking, it is to maintain the posture of a tiger in the mountains, and to have enough deterrence, so naturally the war against us can be eliminated! In the next issue, let’s talk about our strategic nuclear force construction, so that everyone can intuitively experience how terrifying the 70-year nuclear deterrence our country has encountered since its founding, and how we resolve this terrifying nuclear deterrence!
