The difficult War of Resistance Against Japan
The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was the most difficult war fought in modern China, and this war caused China huge losses, because the weak and weak China's national strength at that time was weakened, and it was difficult to resist Japan, which had entered the industrial society at that time. Fortunately, China had some allies during the War of Resistance Against Japan. So how many countries aided China during the War of Resistance? Which country has the most aid to our army?
U.S.-Soviet aid to China
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the United States provided the most aid to China, totaling $1.6 billion. At that time, U.S. President Roosevelt proposed the "watering management theory" to the American people in order to break the isolationism in the United States to participate in World War II. That is, when a neighbor's house is on fire, if I have a watering pipe in my hand, then I should lend this pipe to the neighbor, and when the neighbor finishes the fire, I can take back the pipe. In this way, although I did not gain benefits, I avoided the fire of the neighbor's house from burning me, thus avoiding more losses.
Under Roosevelt's "watering management theory", the United States signed the Lend-Lease Act in 1941 and began to lease equipment including warplanes, warships, guns and other weapons for other Allies at very cheap remuneration. Even under the Lend-Lease Act, much of the equipment leased by the United States to Britain was unpaid.
At the time of U.S. arms exports, China also received about $1.6 billion worth of supplies and weapons from 1941 to 1945. Of course, the vast majority of these weapons fell into the hands of the Nationalist Army, which formed the American Mechanic Division on the basis of this batch of weapons.
Under the United States, the soviet union was the most aided to China. After the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, in order to avoid Japan penetrating China, the Soviet Union and the German army formed a two-fold situation with the Soviet Union, and provided several loans to China, and the total amount of these loans was about 500 million US dollars. In addition to this loan, the Soviet Union provided a large amount of weapons assistance to China, as well as sent about two thousand Soviet air forces into the Chinese battlefield to participate in the war.
Of course, the Nationalist government at that time, as the only legitimate government in China, unceremoniously accepted Soviet loans and arms assistance. Only a very small part of this batch of weapons fell into the hands of our army, and as for the loan, it was basically divided up by the top brass of the National Government.
Allied with China?
The third largest aid to China's anti-Japanese cause was Germany. Although Germany was An ally of Japan in World War II, Germany seriously considered an alliance with China before germany and Japan allied itself. Therefore, during this period, Germany provided a lot of assistance to China to fund the Chinese resistance against Japan. Germany's aid to China was mainly loans and military aid. Germany lent the Nationalist government more than 100 million Reichsmarks at that time, and the exchange rate between the German Reichsmark and the US dollar was 1:0.4, so Germany was equivalent to lending more than 40 million US dollars to China at that time.
In terms of military assistance, Germany has even forced a large number of German mechanics to pile up for China. Of course, at that time, the Chinese warlords were fighting each other, and the Nationalist government could not form an effective rule over China. So After the alliance between Germany and Japan, it stopped aiding China.
