I have seen "Chosin Lake" starring Wu Jing and Yi Qianxi and its sequel "Watergate Bridge". That ticket price is really not cheap, forty or fifty yuan a piece. But thinking that this is a patriotic theme, I still bought it generously and took my family to the cinema to watch and accept the patriotism. My grandfather was a veteran of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, but unfortunately he joined the war after October 1, 1949, so he did not have any treatment after retirement. Still, my grandfather never complained a word. He just believes that the state's decision-making is right, he is right, and defending the country is the sacred duty of every Chinese. There were more than 20 people who went with my grandfather, and only 7 people came back, which shows the cruelty of the battlefield. I asked my grandfather, have you ever seen an American soldier? He said that he had seen many American soldiers, all of whom were big and strong. Weren't these Yankees, who were well fed and drunk, defeated by the Chinese Volunteers, who had no food to eat?

I think I once wrote an answer in the headline Q&A, published on 2017-09-16 00:04 is about how strong the U.S. military strength was at the end of World War II, and now it is moved here. At that time, the military strength of the United States was really strong, the world was the first, God blocked the killing of God, Buddha blocked the killing of Buddha, and the arrogance was incomparable. But they suffered losses at the hands of heroic Chinese. The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was a war to establish a country. In order to win the world's number one industrialized power, we have also made great sacrifices Chinese.
The questioner said: Just after the end of World War II, how strong was the military strength of the United States? At the end of World War II, did any big guy help sort out the number of equipment and production capacity of the US Navy, Army and Air Force?
Let me answer this question briefly.
Just after the end of World War II, how strong was the military strength of the United States?
Before the outbreak of World War II, the military potential of the United States had exceeded that of Germany, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and Japan combined, and the reason was the all-round crushing of the military and economic strength of the United States.
By the end of World War II, the United States had become the most powerful military power on the planet, with a military equivalent to 4 times the soviet military power.
In 1945, the U.S. economy accounted for 60 percent of the world's total. In 1945, the total strength of the U.S. Army reached 10.5 million, with another 25 million reserve troops. The size of the U.S. military industry in this year has grown to the level that it can produce 40,000 aircraft and 20,000 tanks per year. Below, only the case of the US "Yorktown" shows the strength of the US military industrial capability.
USS Yorktown (USS Yorktown, hull CV-5), part of the U.S. Navy, was the first carrier of the Yorktown-class aircraft carriers. He fought in the Battle of the Coral Sea, the Battle of Midway, and was sunk at the Battle of Midway on 7 June 1942.
USS Yorktown
In 1942, the United States and Japan broke out in the famous Battle of the Coral Sea. On May 1, 1942, the American aircraft carriers USS Yorktown and USS Lexington entered the Coral Sea. On May 7, 93 aircraft from both ships sank the Japanese Navy's light escort carrier, the Shoho. On 8 May, the U.S. aircraft carriers USS Yorktown and USS Lexington engaged in a fierce duel with the 5th Air Force of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, the Shōzuru and Using Mizutsuru. Lexington sank due to a fuel explosion after the attack, and the Yorktown was damaged. At the same time, the Xianghe was also severely damaged, and the Ruihe was seriously reduced. The Coral Sea was the first battle between an aircraft carrier between Japan and the United States and in human history. The Yorktown was badly damaged, and the Japanese military judged that it would take at least 2 months for the United States to repair it, and as a result, the Americans completed the attack on the Yorktown in only 36 hours, and soon put the Yorktown aircraft carrier into the next battle. This fully demonstrates the incomparable military industrial capabilities and efficiency of the United States.
On September 2, 1945, on the deck of the USS Missouri, Japanese Foreign Minister Shigemitsu Aoi signed the instrument of unconditional surrender
By the end of World War II, the U.S. Navy had built 155 aircraft carriers (including escort carriers), including 2 Lexington-class Aircraft Carriers, 22 Sykes-class aircraft carriers, 2 Midway-class aircraft carriers, 9 Independence-class light carriers, 2 Seychant light carriers, 45 Borg-class escort carriers, 18 Conmensant-class escort carriers, and 50 Casablanca-class escort carriers. In addition, 200 aircraft carriers are waiting to be completed on the dock.
The fundamental reason why the United States has such a strong military industrial capability and comprehensive national strength is that the United States has mastered the world's best scientific and technological talents. Without the influx of talented people (including scientists) from all over the world who poured into the United States before World War II, it is difficult to imagine that the United States could have such a strong comprehensive national strength. As early as 1939, Roosevelt accepted the advice of scientists such as Einstein who had fled Germany in advance and began the work of developing an atomic bomb in the United States, called the "Manhattan Project". At that time, there were several great Scientists in the field of nuclear physics in Germany, such as Werner Heisenberg and Otto Hahn. Among them, Dr. Heisenberg was known as Germany's best nuclear physics expert, and at that time the U.S. military had a saying that capturing one Heisenberg was much more important than destroying ten German divisions. The United States is very worried that these gods will first develop nuclear weapons, and then Hitler may really be able to turn the tables. This shows the importance of scientists to the national fortunes of the United States.
Einstein
Einstein immigrated to the United States from Germany and obtained American citizenship. Our Dr. Yang Zhenning also met Einstein when he was young. The United States has given generous treatment to scientists from all over the world, allowing them to serve the United States. Even after the end of World War II, the United States did not stop the hunger for scientific talents. According to incomplete statistics, after the end of World War II, the United States sent many divisions to various parts of Germany, quickly wrapped up at least 8,000 excellent German scientists to the United States, and made the best brains of these human beings work for the United States.
It is said that "science and technology is the primary productive force", but in fact, "science and technology is the only productive force". It is precisely because the United States respects and is hungry for scientists and elevates the development of science to the core of its national strategic interests that it has ensured the invincible ability of the United States in the world of science and technology, including the tremendous potential of industrial production capacity, and has exploded into a comprehensive national strength that shocks the world, so that it can lead the world anti-fascist camp and not only finally defeat the fascist military clique headed by Germany, but also leap into a world superpower that shakes the ancient world and is rare in strength.
The United States has such respect for science and scientists that it is necessary to achieve achievements that are rare in the world. In such an unfavorable situation, the internet public opinion of the Chinese mainland has repeatedly contributed to Yang Zhenning, who has returned to China for many years, selflessly served the people's scientists, doing unscrupulous rumor-mongering, slandering, insulting, and insulting, and desperately clamoring to "drive scientists out of China." Isn't this the pleasure of the lovers and the enemies?
This is really an act of self-destruction!
Is Yang Zhenning contributing a lot to the United States or to China?
Some people may ask again, or chen sesame rotten grain question: Yang Zhenning is a big contribution to the United States, or a big contribution to China?
My answer is: of course, it has made a big contribution to China.
Just because you're a U.S. citizen doesn't mean you're not patriotic. Chinese believe that whether this person is "his own person" depends on whether he accepts our traditional culture, not on the so-called "nationality". Bruce Lee is a standard American citizen, but basically everyone sees him as a Chinese. Chinese has always been a cultural concept, not a regional concept, a pedigree concept.
Bruce lee
Yang Zhenning's admission to the United States is not to run for the so-called "glory and wealth", but to facilitate the work of scientific research, and scientific research is to benefit all mankind, and we Chinese also benefit from it. This is equivalent to saying that we Chinese not spend a penny, let the Yankees spend a lot of money, we can use Yang Zhenning's research results for free. When Yang Zhenning returned to the motherland in 1971, he met with Deng Jiaxian, who did not disclose the progress of his work to Yang Zhenning, but Yang Zhenning directly taught Deng Jiaxian the hottest overseas quantum field theory without reservation.
How to prove that Yang Zhenning did not become a U.S. citizen for personal gain? Yang Zhenning's most beautiful time was in 1957, the year he won the Nobel Prize in Physics and was praised as "the man who subverted the consensus of the physics community for thirty or forty years". If he becomes an American citizen at this time, he can be said to be able to achieve his wish immediately. But he dragged on until after a long 7-year wait before he reluctantly became an American citizen. If it was for personal gain, why didn't he join right away? This shows that Yang Zhenning has great feelings for the motherland and is really in love.
Even after becoming an American citizen, he never did anything against his country. On the contrary, he has done his best to do many things that ordinary people dare not do, and even risked being investigated by the FBI, and has been running for the cause of science and education in the motherland and the restoration of diplomatic relations between China and the United States.
As for "contributing a lot to the United States, or to China?" This question is a good answer: of course, it is a great contribution to China.
There are a large number of Nobel Prize winners in physics in the United States, and Yang Zhenning is just one of them. At present, Yang Zhenning is the only Nobel laureate in physics with Chinese nationality. In terms of scarcity, Yang Zhenning is more significant to China.
Let me make an analogy, Yang Zhenning is a doctoral student, and his scientific research results can be published at Tsinghua University or Southeast University. Tsinghua University and Southeast University can use all his scientific research results free of charge. Now, Xiao Yang has become an academician, and if he goes to Tsinghua University, there are several academicians at Tsinghua University. If he had gone to Southeast University, Southeast University would not have had academicians. For Southeast University, Yang Zhenning is particularly important to his school, just by virtue of the sign of "academician", you can make the status of the school jump to a higher level, but also more famous, more attractive in enrollment, and obtain huge benefits.
That is to say, Southeast University needs Yang Zhenning's joining more than Tsinghua University. You say, is Yang Zhenning more significant and contributed to Southeast University?
Chairman Mao met with Dr. Yang Zhenning
Assuming that Yang Zhenning is useless to China, why is he honored by Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou and other older generations as a "national soldier"?

Here, I would like to pay tribute to all the fighters of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea!!!
To borrow the inscription from the Monument to the People's Heroes:
In the past three years, the people's heroes who sacrificed themselves in the People's War of Liberation and the People's Revolution will never die!
Over the past thirty years, the people's heroes who sacrificed their lives in the People's Liberation War and the People's Revolution will never die!
From this point on, back to 1,840 years, in order to oppose internal and external enemies, to strive for national independence and the freedom and happiness of the people, the people's heroes who died in successive struggles will never die!
This salute!!!
