In the Battle of the Watergate Bridge, the volunteers blew up the bridge four times, and twice completely blew up the bridge until it could not be opened to traffic. But the Americans twice in a row invested in M2 bridge components to grab the bridge.

Many people watch movies and lament that the gap between Industrial Capabilities between China and the United States is too big. Even my kids ask me why Americans want what they have, is it true.

We have to admit that what is said in the movie is indeed true, but as Wu Jing said in the movie: That was once upon a time!

In 1950, New China had just been founded, and everything was in ruins to be rebuilt. Steel production is only 610,000 tonnes a year, which is already the result of an increase of 450,000 tonnes over the previous year. In the same year, the United States produced 87.85 million tons of steel, 144 times that of China.

So it's true that the volunteer soldiers we see in the movie relying on light weapons and flesh and blood against American aircraft cannons and tanks.

But now it's completely different.

In 2021, the United States will produce 86 million tons of steel, and China's steel production will be about 1.033 billion tons. We are 12 times as many as the United States. China's manufacturing output has long surpassed that of the United States.

If there is another war, the endless supply capacity is on our side, and the ability to plough the ground with iron and fire is in our hands.
