China is a vast territory with 9.6 million square kilometers, and there are many places where soldiers and families must fight on the vast land of China. When the Opium War broke out in 1840, China entered a humiliating and long century of modern history, during which most parts of the country were full of wolf smoke and wars, but Fujian was an exception. In this turbulent century, Fujian seems to be on the sidelines, and together with the period of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Fujian has hardly been affected, and it is the safest province in the country, as if it is a "place where soldiers and families do not dispute."
Looking at China's history, we will find that Fujian has hardly fought any major battles for more than 2,000 years, has no important strategic position in the military field, and has hardly appeared in this land for a long time. In recent history, Fujian has always been able to "stand alone", so why has Fujian become the safest province in China?
The most important reason is that Fujian has a unique terrain, Fujian, ancient called "Min", from this "Min" word can be seen, the door character next to the fujian is located in the third ladder, surrounded by mountains, hills everywhere, almost no plains, eight mountains and one water and one field, very unsuitable for military activities. In addition, Fujian had almost no communication lines with the outside world before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the vast majority of roads and railways in this province were almost all built after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it was not easy for outsiders to easily enter. Although Fujian is a coastal province, only one Minjiang River can go directly to the sea, and its geographical advantages are far from being comparable to Guangdong, Zhejiang and other places. It is precisely because Fujian has such a unique terrain and lacks large-scale production bases, it is inherently unsuitable for military division, and it is not easy for the outside world to enter, so that Fujian has become the safest province in the country, and there have been almost no major battles in the past two thousand years.
However, it is worth mentioning that perhaps because Fujian is a coastal province, so a large number of admirals, modern admirals are almost all Fujian people, the most famous of which is the "first person of China's aircraft carrier" Chen Shaokuan, he is the first person to propose that China want to build an aircraft carrier, and now China's domestic aircraft carrier Shandong has officially entered service, we already have two aircraft carriers, Chen Shaokuan's unfinished aircraft carrier dream has now become a reality. According to statistics, Fujian has produced a total of 5 naval chiefs, taking the data of 1932 as an example, there were 710 Fujian naval officers at that time, accounting for the vast majority of naval officers in the country.
