The Russian-Ukrainian conflict bears witness to the wisdom of great men! If there is no great man's foresight, Ukraine's current end will be the end of the mainland, why do you say so? Because we have almost experienced everything that ukraine has encountered, and now after seeing the tragic situation in Ukraine, we can't help but sigh: this thing that great people insist on doing is really great! So some people wonder, what has Happened to Ukraine in the past? And what kind of decision did the great man make back then? Interested friends don't forget to like and follow.
Great
Ukraine "self-deprecating" armed forces
What happened to Ukraine? Let's put it this way, once Ukraine was a nuclear power, if it survives to this day, Russia certainly does not dare to confront Ukraine, but unfortunately, Ukraine does not have the wisdom of great people, they have "lost" their weapons!
How did Ukraine's nuclear weapons "lose"? It has to start with how he got these weapons. Many people know that the former Red Empire, the Soviet Union, is the world's nuclear power!
According to the intelligence of the United States at that time, the Soviet Union had more than 11,000 strategic nuclear weapons capable of reaching the United States mainland before its disintegration, as well as at least 15,000 tactical and ground warfare nuclear weapons.
But with the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine naturally inherited these weapons of the Soviet Union, including strategic bombers, missiles and various nuclear warheads, so that Ukraine alone had about 15,000 strategic nuclear weapons.
A nuclear bomb in Ukraine
How powerful was Ukraine at that time? If Russia is the eldest son of the Soviet Union, then Ukraine is a well-deserved "second brother", and the number of nuclear weapons he possesses far exceeds the sum of the nuclear weapons possessed by Britain, France and China, which is second only to the United States and Russia, the third nuclear-weapon state in the world, and a typical and appropriate "nuclear second generation".
How did such a powerful "nuclear second-generation" Ukraine lose its "family property"? There's a saying that goes, how big ass is, how big pants to wear. The words are rough but the truth is correct.
Because as far as Ukraine's national strength at that time was concerned, these more than 1,000 nuclear weapons were absolutely unbearable weight for his life, not to mention that Russia and the United States were so jealous, just by maintaining and repairing these nuclear warheads, Ukraine did not have so much ability.
Some people may wonder, isn't this nuclear weapon just built? But this is not the case, because these nuclear bombs have little use except to deter the enemy, to be honest.
Repair and maintenance costs are high
But since you have it, you can't watch it fall into ruin, can you? At that time, Ukraine, although the level of industry and scientific research was relatively strong, but it did not have the ability to maintain and upgrade nuclear weapons independently, once the maintenance was not good, the nuclear leakage was even more doomed, and it was possible that it would cause a second accident in Chernobyl.
On the other hand, when such a super-nuclear power suddenly appears, who is not nervous and who is not afraid, so these weapons of Ukraine have been "deceived" by other countries.
The first is Russia, the closest to Ukraine, and Russia has made it clear to Ukraine that you can't maintain these nuclear warheads, and they are very expensive, so it is better to send them to me as "garbage".
So Ukraine's strategic nuclear weapons were sent to Russia in this way, and before they were finished, the United States came to the door again, and the United States said, your intercontinental missiles can no longer be launched, and it is a waste to put them away, so it is better to sell me the enriched uranium in the missiles! And boldly said that the price you can open at will!
The nuclear warhead was destroyed
So Ukraine accepted it again, and in this way, Ukraine used hundreds of millions of dollars to abolish "force" and became a nuclear-weapon power and became a non-nuclear country.
Ukraine thought that it could start a peaceful life, but it did not want to make itself the target of public criticism, and the situation in China at that time was the same as that of Ukraine, if it were not for the great people insisting on doing this, today's China would become the next Ukraine.
Why did Ukraine, once the "second generation of nuclear weapons", end up in such a situation? The current situation in Ukraine cannot help but make people sigh again, our great leader Chairman Mao, is really amazing! Some people may wonder, what does the conflict between Russia and Ukraine have to do with great men? You must know that China once encountered the same situation as Ukraine, but the difference is that we have great people who are wise and mighty, if it were not for the far-sightedness of great people, the end of Ukraine would be the end of the mainland, so what kind of things did the mainland experience at that time?
The foresight of great men
On October 1, 1949, with the solemn announcement of the great man in Tiananmen Square, a new China without oppression and war was founded! After the founding of New China, there was a profound question that was placed before the great man, that is, how could we create a peaceful and stable environment for the development of the newly founded New China?
So China sought help from its neighbor, the Soviet Union's "Big Brother", but the good times did not last long, and the United Nations army led by the United States brazenly sent troops to the Korean Peninsula, and in spite of the mainland's repeated warnings, it openly crossed the "38th Line" and burned the flames of war to the vicinity of the Yalu River in the northeast of the mainland!
This shameless act finally made the great man issue an order to resist the United States and aid Korea, so the war at the turning point of China's thousand-year-old national operation was officially launched, and in the face of the powerful weapons and equipment of the US army, the Soviet Union's "big brother" did give us a lot of help.
In addition to providing equipment for more than 60 army divisions, there were a large number of aircraft cannons, armored units, guns and ammunition, cars and a large number of other materials.
Weapons and equipment provided by the Soviet Union
In this war, in the face of the repeated threats of nuclear weapons by the United States, great men realized for the first time the importance of possessing nuclear weapons for a country. At this time, Khrushchev of the Soviet Union also intended to pull China into his camp.
But the great man knows in his heart that China must forge a path of independence of its own, rely on its own strength, and safeguard the unity and sovereignty of the country is the king's way, otherwise, it will always have to look at the faces of others and act.
The most urgent thing to support all this is to build its own nuclear weapons, and during the honeymoon period between China and the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union also provided expert assistance to the mainland in this regard.
But two years later, all the Soviet experts withdrew, even the drawings were destroyed, without reference materials and expert help, China's scientific research experts still did not give up, in extremely difficult circumstances, with the mushroom cloud rising over Lop Nur, China's first atomic bomb exploded successfully!
China's first atomic bomb exploded successfully!
The news that China has built its own nuclear weapons in a very short period of time shocked the world! Gone are the days when imperialism threatened us with nuclear weapons.
In order to protect itself, Ukraine "abolished" all the nuclear weapons it possessed, and changed from a nuclear power to a non-nuclear country without powerful weapons.
At this point, the fates of the two countries will be diametrically opposed, if Ukraine at that time, even if a nuclear bomb is left, then Russia will have to weigh it up if it wants to attack Ukraine.
Do you know what is most important about the stability of a country? Look at the Ukrainian-Russian conflict you will know the answer, Ukraine a good hand was broken, the original third nuclear power of Ukraine, but chose to "self-abolish" force, and the great man saw more thoroughly, in order to lay the domestic peace and stability of the situation, it is necessary to have a powerful weapon body, its own defense industry system is strong, in order not to fear the threat of other countries, in order to gain a firm foothold in the world, but unfortunately Ukraine did not want to understand this problem, so it will end up like this.
China's first atomic bomb exploded successfully
Being tough is king
So is defense really that important? In fact, China is a clear example, at the beginning of the founding of New China, China just came out of 28 years of arduous struggle, was once invaded by Japan, and later in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, it was threatened by the United States with nuclear weapons.
Therefore, the great man immediately ordered that no matter how difficult it was, he should also study his own atomic bomb, and only when his fist was hardened could he have more right to speak and create a new situation of peace and stability for New China.
So in 1964, the first atomic bomb on the mainland was successfully detonated, and when it learned that China had nuclear weapons, Japan was the first to be afraid.
You must know that they have committed heinous crimes against China, and now that China has nuclear weapons, it will certainly drop atomic bombs on them like the United States, so that the tragedies of Hiroshima and Nagasaki will repeat.
Atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
You can imagine how panicked Japan is, but China did not develop nuclear weapons to launch a war, but only to protect itself and not to be threatened by other countries.
The United States, which has always been proud and arrogant, was shocked and more jealous of China's opponent after learning that China possessed nuclear weapons, and later, Western countries have been trying to block China's rise.
But China is already unstoppable, not only has China's first atomic bomb, but also the first hydrogen bomb, but also the shortest time, the country that developed the hydrogen bomb, it took only two years and eight months to develop it successfully, once again shocking the world!
After that, China's military strength became stronger and stronger, and with the unremitting efforts of many Chinese scientists, Heavy weapons such as rockets, aircraft, and tanks manufactured by China were unveiled on the stage.
China's first artificial satellite
In 1970, China's first nuclear submarine was also successfully launched, and half a year later, China's first artificial satellite was also successfully launched, and the successful launch of artificial satellites meant that China had the strength to launch intercontinental missiles!
China's amazing changes have impressed the world, but I did not expect that in just a few decades, China has unconsciously developed so rapidly that China has become a superpower.
It was the foresight of the great man at that time that made China really stand up, standing on the shoulders of giants and looking farther away, but only becoming a "giant" is the true meaning!
Ukraine's current situation is the best example, relying on foreign forces to protect their own country, it is unrealistic to always send people under the fence to see people's faces, this Russian-Ukrainian conflict, but also let us once again recognize the greatness of great people! Whether it is a country or an individual, only if you are hardened is the king! What do you think?
