The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

Qian Xuesen had already become one of the most outstanding representatives in the field of aerospace in the 1940s, and one of the few superstars in the scientific community in many disciplines in the 20th century; Qian Xuesen was also the most influential and outstanding representative of the older generation of scientists who made immeasurable contributions to the growth of the Republic, the most representative national builder among the patriotic returnees of the Republic, and the great people's scientist in the history of the Republic.

Qian Xuesen studied silently throughout his life, but no matter what era or place, what he chose was not only the highest duty of a scientist, but also the highest mission of the descendants of Yan and Huang. His life experience and achievements have left a dazzling light in the national history of China, the national history of the Chinese people, and the world history of mankind, illuminating the way forward. As a pioneer of China's aerospace industry, he is not only a treasure of knowledge and a banner of science, but also the backbone of the nation and a model for Chinese people around the world. He showed the elegance of Chinese people to the world.

As the award speech given to Qian Xuesen by the Touching China Organizing Committee that year: In his heart, the country is more important than the family, science is the most important, and fame and fortune are the least important. It took five years to return to China, and ten years to develop the two bombs. He was a pioneer in the creation of the motherland's aerospace industry, cutting through thorns and forging wisdom into a ladder for later climbers. He is a treasure of knowledge, a banner of science, and a model of Chinese intellectuals.

As some people commented on him: the world and the vast sky are all included in the heart of a child. The two bombs that shocked the world and the star that soared into the sky have fully condensed the Chinese pride, and the ambition to rise to the sky has not fallen. Looking back at the age of 100, he only smiled silently.

Some people also commented on him: After returning to China, Qian Xuesen showed the hard work of Chinese scientists; mechanics, jet propulsion, and aerospace technology, Qian Xuesen showed the strength of a scientist in research; Dongfanghong satellite, Shenzhou spacecraft, and Chang'e flying to the moon, Qian Xuesen laid a sufficient foundation for China's aerospace industry. Today, the career pioneered by this father of Chinese aerospace is striding forward with full enthusiasm.

Liu Tao was overwhelmed with emotion over the passing of the superstar Qian Xuesen, and wrote a memorial article: "Me and Qian Xuesen". The article recalled the influence of Qian Xuesen on him during his student days, and wrote about the details of his acquaintance with Qian Xuesen over the past 30 years, including the first visit to Qian Xuesen and the invitation to him to co-build Southwest Associated University.

At the end of the article, Liu Tao gave Qian a very high evaluation.

Soon, the article was published on the cover of Renren Daily, and many people read it.

In November.

Just when the UK announced again that the British Expeditionary Force was about to go to the Falklands and the Second Falklands War was about to break out, Barack gave a speech to the army at the Fort Bragg military base in North Carolina, announcing that the US military operations in Iraq were about to end and they would begin to withdraw from Iraq!

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar.

You know, the US military has 200,000 troops in Iraq, and most of them are elite troops.

Although the remnant of Saddam's regime is still in the mountains and deserts of Iraq, it is unable to recover lost territory and regain power in the face of the powerful US military. Although the puppet government supported by the United States in recent years has formed a government army of more than 500,000, the whole world knows that the 500,000 Iraqi government troops are just the vassal army of the United States and have no combat effectiveness at all.

Even in the eyes of many people, these 500,000 Iraqi government troops are not as good as the 300,000 Kurdish troops of Kurdish Germany.

With the help of the Iraq War, the Kurdish armed forces successfully achieved the goal of establishing a country. Although only dozens of countries have recognized Kurdish Germany and established diplomatic relations with Kurdish Germany so far, no matter what, the Kurds finally have their own country.

However, in order to guard against Turkey, Syria and Persia, the Kurds have maintained a regular army of 300,000 all year round. The main focus of the Kurdish army is not to fight against the remnant of Saddam's regime, but to deal with Turkey. The two sides have accidentally fired at each other every now and then.

Since the beginning of the Iraq War, Turkey has been hostile to the Kurds, as the Kurds took advantage of the situation to occupy a large area of ​​land. If there is a country in the world that is most hostile to the Kurds, it is Turkey.

Turkey has not recognized the Kurdish state as a legitimate regime, but has accused the Kurds of being thieves and traitors from the beginning to the end, stealing a large area of ​​Turkish land.

The powder keg of China and the United States, in addition to Palestine and Israel, is Turkey and Kuwait!

Turkey and Kuwait are like fire and water!

When Turkey and the United States broke up, they no longer allowed the US military to have a military base in Turkey, and even withdrew from NATO. In recent years, they have been against the United States.

In addition, in order to deal with the Falklands crisis, the United Kingdom failed to obtain US support and withdrew from the coalition forces under the pretext of launching a second Falklands War. The United States had to mobilize troops from other places to Iraq, which made the US military strength in Iraq exceed 200,000, reaching 230,000.

In Barack's view, Iraq has become a huge quagmire, which has trapped the United States and continued to bleed the United States.

Since the outbreak of the Iraq War, the US has invested more than one trillion US dollars in military expenditure in Iraq!

The military-industrial complex has made a lot of money, but the US government has incurred huge debts.

Why should the US military act as thugs and security guards for oil companies? The energy giants should bear this part of the cost themselves.

From the beginning, Barack wanted to end the Iraq War.

It's just that the time has never been ripe.

By now, Barack has had enough!

Barack's approval rating in the polls has been falling again and again after less than a year in office.

According to this trend, the Democratic Party will be defeated in the midterm elections.

Barack does not intend to leave the White House in disgrace after only one term. He wants to serve two terms like most people do.

In his speech, Barack said that the United States has helped the Iraqi people to re-establish a democratic government, which is a democratically elected government. The United States has helped this democratic government organize and train a 500,000-strong modern army, which is capable of dealing with the remnant regime of Saddam.

Barack said affectionately that the United States has done enough for the Iraqi people, and it will depend on the Iraqi people themselves in the future.

As soon as the news of this speech came out, it immediately caused an uproar.

You know, when the United States controlled most of the best places in Iraq, it auctioned the oil fields, which made a lot of money. The energy giants took out a lot of real money to bid for the oil and gas fields.

The reconstruction of Iraq's oil and gas fields is now quite optimistic, because Iraq itself now uses less oil and now exports more than 4 million barrels of oil per day.

Everyone has invested a lot, and the cost has not been fully recovered, and you Barack actually wants to pat your butt and leave.

If the US military leaves, who will ensure that their oil and gas fields can be developed and operated as usual?

For a time, under the promotion of these energy companies, there were endless criticisms about Barack, and some people even criticized Barack as a traitor to the United States.

And negative news about Barack was constantly exposed.

This made Barack very anxious. He didn't expect that the opposition in the United States would be so loud.

But this couldn't stop Barack's determination. Barack is still pushing for the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq.

When the news reached Iraq, the current Iraqi government and government soldiers were even more panicked.

If the United States withdraws its troops, what will they do?

Some people want to go to Kuwait, but Kuwait flatly refuses. Kuwait strengthens patrols on the border between Iran and Iraq to prevent people from entering Kuwait from the border.

Some people want to go to Saudi Arabia, but Saudi Arabia also refuses. What kind of people are these people? Doesn't Saudi Arabia know?

Of course, the rich and powerful will directly send their families to the United States or Europe to transfer their assets.

But it is obvious that air tickets are not easy to buy because there are not many flights.

The morale of the US military has also dropped sharply.

To be honest, although Iraq is full of dangers and there is a risk of explosions when walking on the streets, and no less than a thousand US soldiers are killed by various attacks every year, the income in Iraq is very high, the treatment is very good, there are combat allowances all year round, and there are also high temperature subsidies, etc.

The water that every American soldier drinks is mineral water. Each American soldier is allocated at least 10 bottles of mineral water every day.

Even if you want to eat mutton, you can airlift goats from other places.

And here, you can earn more than just wages and bonuses, you can also sell your equipment. Anyway, it is normal to say that you were attacked and lost your gun after returning.

There are also some American soldiers who have started side businesses, such as working for American security companies to make more money.

Anyway, Saddam's army cannot pose a threat to the US military.

When Barack announced that he would withdraw troops from Iraq, I don't know how many US military officers and soldiers cursed Barack.

Cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents!

It has been like this since ancient times!

After hearing the news, Saddam and others were ecstatic. They struggled to hold on in the mountains, fighting guerrilla warfare, and sometimes even had to be humble to the Persians, just to regain power one day!

After waiting hard, the turning point that Liu Tao said finally came.

Now the US military is indeed powerful. Not only are the ground forces armed to the teeth, but they can also call for air support at any time, which makes Saddam's army impossible to fight.

But once most of the US troops withdraw, then this war will be easy to fight!

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9, one book, one forum, one look!

Sadam and his men didn't care about the puppet governments and puppet armies that everyone supported.

Even many of the puppet governments and puppet armies had been infiltrated by Sadam and his men, and they kept giving them intelligence.

Sadam ordered his army to rest well and develop in a low profile during this period. He wanted to create opportunities for the US troops to withdraw.

After all, if his army continued to guerrilla warfare against the US troops, the US troops would have an excuse not to withdraw.

Sadam even ordered the 50,000 mountain combat troops previously sent to the Afghan battlefield to withdraw from Afghanistan and prepare to launch a counterattack after the US troops withdrew.

Sadam also sent Al to discuss mercenaries to strengthen the army's construction and formulate a counterattack deployment.

After all, his men actually lacked a large number of excellent officers, and the excellence of the mercenaries made Sadam very trusting.

And Liu Tao, who was far away in China, also got the news at the first time.

Liu Tao secretly smacked his lips. Barack was really brave. He dared to withdraw his troops at this time. You should know that the remaining power of Saddam's regime is not weak. Otherwise, the US military would not need to maintain a full 230,000 troops in Iraq.

Barack's decisive withdrawal would inevitably cause the collapse of the entire Iraqi situation and even the collapse of the US layout in the Middle East.

No one could predict the chain reaction here.

Now that the United States can no longer hold out in Iraq and has to withdraw its troops from Iraq, how long can the United States hold out in Afghanistan?

Sure enough, within 24 hours, the governments of Japan and South Korea announced that they would withdraw their troops in Iraq.

Japan's Self-Defense Forces in Iraq have a total of 30,000 troops.

Over the years, Japan's Self-Defense Forces have suffered heavy losses in Iraq.

The most important thing is that Japan has to provide its own weapons and equipment in Iraq. Even if there are injuries, the pensions are not paid by the United States, but by the Japanese government.

In recent years, Japan's economy has further declined. Although it is still a developed country, its international competitiveness has continued to decline, and its comprehensive national strength has further declined.

Japan's total GDP is now less than 30,000 US dollars, and its influence in the world is far less than in the 1980s.

Now Japan has no ambitions.

Back then, Japan wanted to replace the United States as the world's largest economy, thereby integrating East Asia and Southeast Asia, becoming a superpower, and competing with the United States and the Soviet Union.

And now, Japan is praying that it will not become cannon fodder or a battlefield.

The actions of Japan and South Korea naturally caused dissatisfaction among many Americans. In the minds of many Americans, Japan and South Korea are watchdogs raised by the United States. Now the actions of Japan and South Korea are simply treasonous.

However, the American media cannot criticize and report, because it was Barack who first announced the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, and Japan and South Korea were just responding to Barack's actions.

And who knows whether this is Barack's handiwork, which has caused the US withdrawal from Iraq to be unstoppable.

And not only Japan and South Korea, but other US allies, as long as they have troops in Iraq, have also announced their withdrawal from Iraq within 48 hours, and some even said very bluntly that they are responding to Barack's call.

Even these countries have given a timetable for withdrawal.

Barack looked at the news with a sullen face.

He said that the United States would withdraw its troops, but he did not say that other allies could withdraw their troops.

In his plan, the United States would withdraw its troops first, and when the United States withdrew all its troops, whether other countries withdrew their troops or not would have nothing to do with him.

But now these countries are busy announcing their withdrawal, and they want to withdraw their troops before the United States, which is simply leaving the US military behind!

This is absurd!

Let's take a look at the news in Europe, especially the media in France and Germany, which directly mock the United States and Barack.

Because France and Germany strongly opposed the United States launching the Iraq War, and they broke off relations with the United States for this reason, and France and Germany formed a Franco-German alliance!

Now Barack has announced that he will withdraw his troops from Iraq, which shows that France and Germany were right and the United States was wrong.
