The strength of a country is related to many aspects, military, political, economic, demographic, scientific and technological, and so on.
We all know that the Shu state during the Three Kingdoms period was weak, and even today, the development of the southwest region is still somewhat backward, so we only compare Wei and Wu.
First: from the perspective of military strength
With the development of the times, the era of cold weapons has become history, and the current size of the army is not the standard for determining a country's military strength, but mainly lies in the strength of weapons and military industry.
The military industrial capabilities of the air force and army in the Wei region were stronger than those in the Wu region, so the army and air force Wei were far superior to the Wu state.
However, in terms of the navy, the level of military industry in Wu is relatively strong, and many important warships, aircraft carriers, etc. are distributed in the southeast region.
Second: Politically
In terms of political system, the administrative efficiency of the government in the Wei region is many orders of magnitude lower than that of the government in the Wu region, and the territory of the State of Wei includes the political center of our country, Beijing, and in terms of administrative capacity, the State of Wei is certainly stronger than the State of Wu, which will greatly affect the cohesion of the people and the centripetal force of the army. Therefore, in terms of politics, the State of Wei was stronger than Eastern Wu.
Third: economically
In terms of comprehensive strength, the economy is not only GDP, but also includes grain, resources, and foreign trade. Since the reform and opening up, our economic center has been more southward, but the chassis of the Eastern Wu region is not as good as that of the Wei State University, and the Wei region can fully use the vast territory to make up for this disadvantage. Therefore, from the perspective of the GDP of Wei and Wu, the two countries have their own advantages, and the Wei state can use the huge territory to basically equal the Wu state, but in other aspects, it is different.
In terms of grain production, the Wei region has the North China Plain and the Northeast Plain, the Bohai Bay, the Wuguo region has the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Plain, and the East China Sea, Beibu Bay and South China Sea nine-section line.
In the absence of war, it is enough to maintain the normal cost of grain production for the populations of the two countries, and in the event of a war, the phenomenon of food shortage in wei is a little more serious than that of Wu, after all, grain production in the south has always been quite high.
In terms of resources, mainly look at important strategic oil and steel, large oil and gas fields distributed in the Weiguo region include Daqing and Karamay, and there are East China Sea oil and gas fields and South China Sea oilfields distributed in the Wuguo region. In terms of steel, the two regions are basically equal in production.
Fourth: Demographically
Mainly refers to the war population, the current State of Wei and the State of Wu are more powerful than the State of Wu, after all, the State of Wei occupies nearly half of the land of our country, so the army conventional army, labor force these two types of war population Wei State occupies a great advantage.
Fifth: from a scientific and technological point of view
In terms of scientific research institutions, China is mainly based on the north, and a large number of scientific research institutions are distributed in the northern land, so the number of scientific research institutions in Wei is stronger than that of Eastern Wu.
However, the carrier of scientific research institutions is still on people, from the perspective of scientific research talents, a large number of well-known scientific research talents in China come from the territory of Southern Eastern Wu, at this point, the strength of Eastern Wu is stronger than that of Wei Guo.
Sixth: from an educational point of view
Although The two highest universities in China, Tsinghua University and Peking University, are located in the State of Wei, a large number of 985 engineering universities are located in the land of Dongwu in the south, and in the field of education, Dongwu is more powerful than the State of Wei.
In summary, it cannot be said one-sidedly that the Eastern Wu and Wei sides are relatively strong at present, and both sides have their own advantages.
