Since the late Qing Dynasty, China has been slaughtered by others, and the people generally have a strong "foreign phobia". Even in the Republic of China, it is still a promise, timid and afraid of things, for fear of offending the "foreign lords". Foreigners even set up a concession park on Chinese soil, and even hung a sign that read: Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter!
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, China, after paying 35 million casualties, finally achieved a legal equality with the Western powers. But the Western powers don't really think that China can sit on an equal footing with them, and they haven't "come out" from the idea that Chinese is the "sick man of East Asia." Even the Japanese subconsciously believed that they had been defeated by the Americans.
But after the end of the Korean War, the results of the war surprised all countries, stunned and shocked! Since then, China and even Chinese have looked at each other differently.
After this war, the Western powers, whether they were upper-class social figures or low-level ordinary people, completely believed that Chinese equal to them!
First of all, the impact of this war on China, in the words of General Peng: "Gone are the days when Western colonists could seize a country by erecting a few cannons on the eastern coastline." This sentence shows that Chinese since modern times, national self-confidence has been trampled on by others, and now the national self-confidence of Chinese has been greatly encouraged and has "returned"!
At the same time, after the end of the war, China gained a relatively stable construction environment and immediately began large-scale construction.
On the Soviet side, it also looked at it with astonishment, understood the value of China's great potential, and began large-scale assistance to China, and the "Sino-Soviet honeymoon period" also came.
On the us side, it has pulled dozens of "ace troops" from several countries to participate in the war, and as a result, it has "lost all its face." At the same time, the US top level simply cannot accept it.
The Air Force has achieved "supervision" of an area almost every aircraft, the Army has a "takeaway" artillery bombardment with a phone call, the soldiers are equipped with automatic rifles and machine guns, each unit is equipped with tanks, and the logistics supply is "one in the sky and one underground" with the volunteer army. In this way, it was even impossible to defeat a "backward" unit with a "dirty flour plus rifle" and even the bullets had to be saved. In the eyes of the self-proclaimed famous MacArthur, it must be a "dimensionality reduction strike", which led to a conclusion: "Whoever wants to go to war with the Chinese Army must have a disease in his brain." ”
I can't accept it, but I also understand the actual situation, and since then no one in the United States has dared to underestimate China, attach unprecedented importance to China, and vigorously support Japan to contain China.
In the subsequent Vietnam War, the Chinese side issued a statement like the announcement of its intervention in the Korean War: The US military must not cross the 17th parallel (that is, the dividing line between North Vietnam and South Vietnam). From then on, the U.S. military only dared to fight in South Vietnam, and only sent planes to bomb north Vietnam.
On the Japanese side, with the large number of material needs of the Korean War, the country survived the economic crisis after the end of World War II, and the economy recovered rapidly and was "fully revitalized." After the end of the Korean War, the United States began to vigorously support Japan, which put Japan on the road of economic power.
Other countries of the United Nations army, the British army, the French army and even the Ethiopian army in Africa, these countries are "elite" and "beaten". Since then, no country has dared to underestimate the Chinese army, and many countries have also opened the road to learning from China's military.
Looking at the two countries concerned, North Korea and South Korea, both countries simply cannot accept this result, fighting for three years, sacrificing countless soldiers and people, but the result is similar to before the war, or on the basis of the 38th Line to demarcate the border, the Korean Peninsula is still not unified.
