In August 2021, the Japanese Olympic Games began, all countries sent professional athletes to participate, although the Olympic games, the referee is different from ordinary people but still adhere to the will of the post, each of us should "worship", but do you know the details of the Olympic Games? This year, China sent 777 people to participate in the Olympic Games, which is the largest number of people sent by our country to foreign competitions, so what are the details of this number?
On July 7, 1937, the Lugou Bridge incident occurred, Japan officially launched the war of aggression against China, this war lasted for 8 years, the number of Olympic games corresponded to the time of the Japanese invasion of China, I have to say that the details of the country in some things will really make people shocked, think about how arrogant Japan was, to the world to occupy all the land of our nation for 24 hours, and then look at today's Japan, can only use some small actions to fool the people to provoke the Chinese nation.
Then again, on July 7, 1937, the Japanese invasion of China officially began, and after eight years, it finally announced its unconditional surrender in 1945, which brought tragic lessons and great humiliation to the Chinese nation, and the Chinese nation suffered huge casualties in this war.
According to relevant literature, the total casualties of the Chinese people and the army are 35 million, the Japanese army casualties are only 1.3 million, and the death toll is only about 450,000, that is to say, after eight years of fighting, China has narrowly defeated Japan with a hundredfold gap.
Here we have to mention the Soviet Union's help to us at that time (more to protect the interests of the Soviet Union itself), when the Japanese Emperor announced the unconditional surrender, there were many stranded Japanese soldiers in China, these soldiers were a time bomb, and on August 8, 1945, the Soviet Union launched the "Far East Campaign" against Japan.
This battle lasted only 6 days, the final result is the Soviet Union won the victory, nearly 750,000 Japanese soldiers were wiped out, through this battle we can see not only the Soviet Union crushing Japan's military strength, but also our country and Japan in the war, the situation of being crushed, but why is this? Where is the difference between China and the Soviet Union?
First of all, the soviet army was crushed by the Kwantung Army, which is known to be the most powerful army in Japan, but don't be intimidated by the name. Because the Japanese side has been stuck in the Battlefield in the Pacific, and the battlefield in South Asia has begun to be turbulent, the Japanese have to dismantle their most powerful army in order to stabilize the war situation.
For example, materials and weapons, which were thrown into other battlefields in batches, led to the weakening of the military strength of the Kwantung Army, and the military capabilities of the Soviet Union at that time were bound to be able to crush it, and the Kwantung Army facing our country was in its heyday, whether it was combat consciousness or military equipment far exceeded our country, and even so, our nation was not occupied by Japan.
The second is military equipment, the Chinese nation because of the Qing Dynasty's closed country policy, in the Industrial Revolution, derailed from the world, which led to the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Western powers enwei and control of our country, although at that time carried out the Xinhai Revolution, foreign affairs movement, so that the Qing Dynasty became one of the top countries (the army in Asia first, the navy in Asia third).
It is a pity that Cixi, as the leader, actually only cared about pleasure, which led to the army having no money to buy ammunition, so that the country had no money to build arsenals, and the weak foundation of China's military foundation was left behind until the Republic of China period.
By the time of the Republic of China (from the fall of the Qing Dynasty to the fall of the Republic of China), many warlords understood that in order to be strong, military power must be strong. So they established military schools and military factories, such as Zhang Zuolin of the three eastern provinces, who was the best among the warlords at that time.
Later, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, the three eastern provinces were directly occupied by the Japanese army, which made the most powerful military site of the Chinese nation an invader's industry, and also reduced the military strength of the Chinese nation by half.
Coupled with the fact that at that time, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party looked at each other, and most of the military industry chain was controlled by the Kuomintang, which led to the inability of our Communist Party to get good military supplies (the miraculous operation of the Kuomintang during the anti-Japanese period made the Communist Party's military strength even worse).
The Soviet Union was different from our environment at that time, the strength of the military force allowed the Soviet Union to be hard steel with the US military, and we were at that time the contradictions between the two parties were frequent, domestic spies and traitors were rampant, and it was completely impossible to form an effective military industrial chain.
In the beginning, our country was defeated and retreated in the face of Japanese aggression, and as time went on, the relations between the Chinese nation and Japan were gradually reversed, and the Soviet Union's Far East campaign only played the role of "icing on the cake" and political measures to curb the development of our nation.
Once the Chinese nation is reunified, the most intuitive danger is the Soviet Union, and after the Chinese nation drives out Japan by its own strength, on the one hand, it can ask for many things from Japan, on the other hand, it can rely on the rapid development of research left over from Japan, which undoubtedly makes the Soviet Union uneasy, so there is the Far East Campaign and the results of the experiment of the United States taking away Unit 731, but they can never imagine that the Chinese nation can once again become the forefront of the world under their heavy blockade.
