#Headline Creation Challenge#The United States has been fighting wars almost every year since its founding 247 years, and wars are almost invincible. China's foreign wars in modern times can only be said to be a history of humiliation for China. Even after the founding of New China, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, which the Chinese people have always been proud of, was ridiculed by many netizens as a victorious war under the tactics of the sea of people (the problem is that Korea is not reunified, and the United States has not been driven away from the victory). Today, China has not experienced war for more than 30 years, and the soldiers' will to fight is even more worrying. Are these words true?
The Chinese and American armed forces who are strong and who is weak has always been the focus of debate among Chinese and foreign netizens, and today I will give you an analysis of the combat strength and characteristics of the Chinese and American armies through the war history of China and the United States.
United States: From the proclamation of the founding of the United States in 1776 to today's 247 years, the United States has only 16 years without war, almost every year without war.
In these 244 years, the United States has participated in a total of 39 wars, of which 33 wars were launched after World War II, and in these 33 wars, the United States won almost all of them, and it was through this series of wars that the superpower status was finally established.
Many netizens also define the strength of the US military according to this, and even many netizens say that the US military can not only fight, but also never lose.
In fact, this is wrong, in these wars the United States did not win three wars, namely the 1812 American-Canadian War (this war was hailed as a shame for the Americans, the White House let the British army burn), the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in 1950, and the Vietnam War in 1961, two of which happened to be opponents of China.
In the American war, I singled out the famous wars and analyzed them one by one.
Entering World War I in 1917 and World War II in 1941, both of which the United States joined later, Germany can only be said to have been defeated by the Soviet Union, and the United States and its allies can only be regarded as mending knives. The same is true for Japan, because nearly half of the Japanese army was destroyed by the Chinese army (the Japanese soldiers who fought with China in the early stage were elite, and the combat quality of the Japanese soldiers recruited later was much worse).
In the 1950 Korean War and the 1961 Vietnam War, the United States did not win the war with Chinese support.
The 1991 Gulf War, the 1999 Kosovo War, the air strikes against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and the 2003 invasion of Iraq, although these wars are very famous and often used to boast about how strong the US military is, but I can only say that this is adults beating children, and it is strange if they do not win. Not a country of magnitude in itself, how can the United States not win?
Not to mention those wars that I did not mention, the size of the country is even smaller.
Through the above analysis, have you noticed a problem, these wars launched by the United States, the so-called beautiful wars, none of the opponents are at the same level as him. In wars against opponents of the same class (the Korean War of 1950 and the Vietnam War of 1961, against China), none of them won.
China: Because of China's long history, it is impossible to give examples like the United States. I will just talk about the war after the founding of New China. After the founding of New China, it experienced a total of six wars, including the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the Sino-Indian Border Counterattack War, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Vietnam, the Sino-Soviet Battle of Zhenbao Island, the Sino-Vietnamese Battle of Xisha Sea, and the Sino-Vietnamese Border Self-Defense Counterattack War.
Among these six wars, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and the Sino-Vietnamese Border Self-Defense and Counterattack War were both famous and large-scale. The end shocked the world, let the world know the power of the Chinese army, and also established China's political status in the world. Whether it is the United States, which claims to be the first in the world, or Vietnam, which claims to be the third in the world, they have all been beaten by the Chinese army.
The Sino-Indian border counterattack war has made India, which considers itself the third in the world, lose face and become a laughing stock.
The Battle of Zhenbao Island between China and the Soviet Union was just a local war, as the world's two major military powers, a real spark collision. Our current friend Russia fully embodied the will of the fighting nation in this battle, and the casualties on both sides were very heavy. At the same time, it also let our Russian friends know that the panda lying next to him is not a cat, but a bear, more brutal than a grizzly bear.
The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Vietnam, because China mainly provides materials, so the intensity of participation is not very strong, and the nature of the current Russian-Ukrainian war is more similar.
From past wars, we can see that whether it is for China or the United States, among opponents of different ranks, they can win the war with a complete victory. However, among its peers, the United States has clearly not won once. Of course, China did not win the final victory in the confrontation of the same level.
Taking the current Russian-Ukrainian war as an example, Ukraine, with the support of the United States and the West, and Russia, a recognized world military power, has been fighting for a full 1 year. Many netizens think that the Russian army has poor performance, or the military industry is not good, etc., in fact, I want to say that Ukraine itself is not a soft persimmon, it is one of the three major military forces of the former Soviet Union (Russia, Belarus, Ukraine). Therefore, Russia's current war situation is no exception.
The reason why I take the Russian-Ukrainian war as an example is to say two things to netizens, one is that when the equipment is backward is not obvious, the combat awareness of the military can change the war situation. Secondly, to prove whether you are strong enough, you must have an opponent who can match.
Otherwise, even if you win the war with a crushing posture, it does not mean that you are really strong, only that you are relatively strong. This is both the case in the United States. Moreover, the victory of the United States in the war was mainly due to its superiority in military equipment, so that the other side could not fight back at all. If, like the Russian-Ukrainian war, the other side can fight back, I don't know what the situation will be?
And the situation in China is exactly the opposite of the United States, in the six wars after the founding of New China, our Chinese army not only had no superiority in equipment, but also was at a disadvantage. Not to mention the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, most of our equipment in the remaining five wars was also lagging behind the other side, and due to the domestic situation at that time, there have always been many problems in logistics support, but even under this circumstance, we still won the victory with difficulty. I wonder if netizens think such a China is strong or weak?
In fact, the 1991 Gulf War and the 1999 Kosovo War made people realize the power of science and technology, thinking that the role of people in war will become smaller and smaller, and countries have successively disarmed themselves, especially the army. And the Russian-Ukrainian war shocked the world again, because people found that in the case of not very different differences in science and technology, the war returned to the essence of flesh and blood war, the collision of steel and steel.
