For a country, it is easier to conquer a country than to defend it, because it takes more time and energy to defend a country. Therefore, looking at the current major countries, they attach great importance to the improvement of national defense and military strength.

In addition to this aspect, in order to defend one's own territory, regular diplomatic activities are also needed. Because diplomacy can not only strengthen the relationship between two countries but also help each other when crisis strikes.
I have to mention today’s topic, combat readiness. War readiness is a measure of defense for the country.

is divided into four combat readiness levels according to the situation they are about to face. The highest level is , level one combat readiness . What does it mean for China to enter the first level of combat readiness for ? Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, has only appeared 6 times in our country. What are the situations faced in these 6 times?
Level 1 combat readiness state
As mentioned above, entering a state of combat readiness is a series of military preparations made in advance when the country faces a crisis. These preparations include material preparation, personnel preparation, various combat plans , etc. Everything needs to be arranged in a very short period of time, and each preparation requires a lot of energy.

Our country has four levels of combat readiness. The order of from level 4 to level 1 is from low to high.
Level 4 is mainly turmoil in local areas, Level 3 is a more serious military threat, Level 2 is a rapid increase in military personnel, and Level 1 is a very serious military threat. From low to high, the preparation will gradually increase.

In summary, it can be seen that the situation facing the first-level combat readiness state is very urgent. Four of the six times our country launched the first-level combat readiness state were due to war, and the other two were due to political reasons .
Six times of first-level combat readiness
Our country decided to have the first level of combat readiness because to resist US aggression and aid Korea . At that time, our country had just established the People's Republic of China, and the country was in urgent need of recuperation, but in the end we chose aid. This is based on two points.

First, North Korea has been a friend of our country a long time ago. Faced with the request for help from an old friend, it has to help out of humanitarian help.
The second is the provocation from the United States. The United States nakedly crossed the Yalu River . This is an act that cannot be tolerated by our country, which is committed to defending its territorial sovereignty.

So, the Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea happened. However, our country is also well aware of the comprehensive strength of the US military. Therefore, when the Chinese Volunteer Army went to North Korea, it had already made first-level combat readiness. This is the greatest guarantee for the country and its people.
The second level of combat readiness is also due to the Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. After several years of war, although our country won the final victory, the hard work we put in cannot be described in words.

Moreover, the United States is unwilling to face the result of its disastrous defeat and believes that our country's victory was a fluke. Therefore, the moment announced the end of the war, the US military stationed in Taiwan immediately launched a war.
This once again touches upon the reverse aging of our country. As a result, our country quickly requested additional personnel. At the same time, in order to prevent the United States from retaliating, our country has immediately entered a state of first-level combat readiness. Fortunately, after one night, our country also won.

The third level of combat readiness is related to the Zhenbao Island incident. The fundamental reason for this incident was the tense relations between China and the Soviet Union.
When it comes to the relationship between our country and the Soviet Union, it can be said to be good and bad. is in line with the saying that there are no permanent friends, only eternal interests. China and the Soviet Union eventually had some conflicts due to the problems they had accumulated in the past and to protect their respective interests.

And our country is well aware that although they are both proletarian countries, the strength of the Soviet Union can compete with that of the United States, but our country's strength is far from it. For the sake of safety, our country has only entered the first level of combat readiness.
The fourth level of combat readiness occurred during the Vietnam Self-Defense War. On the surface, Vietnam was fighting alone, but in reality it was a joint counterattack by the Soviet Union and Vietnam.In order to deceive others, the Soviet Union's assistance to Vietnam was conducted in secret throughout the process. If our country had not had strong investigative capabilities, it would have been blinded.

Because of the participation of the Soviet Union, our country once again chose to enter the first level of combat readiness. The reason is the same as above, and it is also a defensive measure prepared in advance to prevent the Soviet Union from all-out aggression against our country.
The last two emergences of level one combat readiness are related to political factors.

Let me first talk about the first one related to political factors. This war readiness state occurred in 1976 . In this year, our country also lost crucial figures in the process of vigorously carrying out economic, political, and cultural construction.
In order to prevent people who are interested in taking advantage of this matter to betray national interests, our country has launched level one combat readiness.
The second issue related to political factors is the issue of Taiwan’s ownership . After the founding of the People's Republic of China, our country has made great progress in both its domestic economic, cultural, and political work and its diplomacy and cooperation with foreign countries.

As a capitalist , the United States certainly does not want to see the rise of a proletarian country. Therefore, the United States once again came to Taiwan to declare its sovereignty.
Regarding the Taiwan issue , our country's attitude has always been peaceful reunification, so it has never used force . This behavior of the United States is undoubtedly a threat and provocation.

If we choose to ignore it at this time, it will definitely be harmful to no benefit in the long-term development. Therefore, our country quickly concentrated its forces and brought all of our country's then advanced heavy weapons to the southeastern coastal areas, and entered a state of first-level combat readiness.
When the United States saw this battle, it also knew that it would be the most unwise choice to take action at this time, so it clamored for a period of time and then withdrew from Taiwan.

Strengthening yourself is the best choice
Looking at the six war preparations, most of them are related to war, and a small part are related to political reasons. Regardless of the reason for the decision to level one combat readiness, it is ultimately to protect the interests of the country and the people.

But back to the fundamentals of everything, we still need to improve our overall national strength. Especially in the 21st century, relations between countries have become more complicated. To put it simply, although there are few wars in now, there will be more undercurrents in .
Therefore, in order to avoid falling into a bad situation in the future, our country must improve its comprehensive national strength . For example, military strength, economic strength, ability to cooperate with other countries, etc.

Fortunately, our country has always insisted on doing this. I believe that one day, our country will definitely usher in a moment of rejuvenation. When that moment comes, our country will definitely stand proudly with a new look.
