Rebirth of the Military Industry Power of the Anti-Japanese War

ps: Thanks to the book friend "Mao Mao 3700" for the monthly vote. I am so happy that Spain was bloodbathed. I hate the damn kicking tactics the most^_^

Although the total number of military and civilian deaths in China was close to 5.6 million, it was the only country among the major participating countries in World War II in this time and space that its losses were smaller than in history.

The death toll of the Japanese people was as high as 18 million! However, the death toll of 5.6 million people in China in this time and space is the result of including the liberation war, domestic bandit suppression and several subsequent foreign local wars...

More importantly, China not only single-handedly defeated the Japanese invaders and quickly achieved domestic reunification, but also seized the opportunity that China could stay out of during most of World War II to develop desperately, becoming one of the top three industrial powers in the world in 1950.

Still at the end of World War II

Taking advantage of the fact that the great powers were exhausted, they successfully regained a large area of ​​lost territory and even successfully opened up new territories. This can be called a miracle, and Hu Weidong, who facilitated all this, can also proudly claim that he has not given anything to the group of time travellers.

Shame on you...

What made Hu Weidong equally happy was that the post-war world situation continued to develop in a direction favorable to China. After Germany surrendered, because most people believed that the Soviet army was able to occupy most of the German land at its own expense,

Therefore, the Allied forces, especially the US military, were generally very dissatisfied with the Soviet army.

There were a lot of frictions between the two sides during the so-called "reunion". The always rebellious British Prime Minister Churchill used this opportunity to publicize the so-called "Iron Curtain" and tried hard to persuade Truman to go to war with the Soviet Union. No matter what happened, he would have to force

The Soviet Union spit out Germany and could not be allowed to organize a new pro-Soviet German regime.

But at this time, Stalin listened to the suggestions of the Chinese Red Party and ordered the French Communist Party to try its best to squeeze out the "Free France". Since the total strength of the French Communist guerrillas at the time of France's liberation was more than 500,000, they were part of de Gaulle's "Free French" army.

Many times, and they are far deeper than these returnees at the grassroots level. As long as they use armed means to seize power, they can easily overthrow the newly formed De Gaulle government.

In this case, Churchill was immediately discouraged. Although Germany had a good foundation, France was closer to Britain, and the threat after redization was naturally greater. In the end, after negotiations between the Soviet Union and the United States and Britain, the French Communist Party was eliminated as it had been historically.

The Soviets sold out. They followed the orders of the Soviet Communist Party to give up armed struggle and were soon easily disabled by the so-called elections manipulated by big capitalists. Later, they became a negative example in Chinese political textbooks...

The Soviet government used this to force the United States and Britain to recognize its control over Germany. It thought it was making a lot of money, but Hu Weidong pointedly pointed out at a high-level meeting of the Chinese Red Party that Germany's industrial foundation would inevitably challenge it once the economy revived.

The Soviet Union's leadership in the European communist movement will then

This would give the Soviets a headache. Of course, the Soviets could also suppress Germany's development, but in that case, not only would the significance of controlling Germany be greatly reduced, but it would also arouse the anti-Soviet sentiments of the Germans. At that time, the West would send people to infiltrate and provoke

After a while, Eastern Europe will become extremely lively...

Although Stalin was also aware of these potential dangers, and especially separated East Prussia, the birthplace of modern Germany, and gave it to Poland, which had just established a socialist regime with the help of the Soviet army, significantly shrinking Germany's territory, he still underestimated it.

Germany's development potential, and among the younger brothers in Europe, there is an even more disobedient Tito!

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but the territory of post-war Eastern Europe in this time and space is quite similar to that in history. For example, Romania, Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakia are all exactly the same, but the difference is that the history of Yugoslavia, Albania, Bulgaria and

The four Greek countries became a unified

One country was the "Balkan Federation", and historically Germany, which mostly belonged to the Western camp, and Austria and Denmark, which all belonged to the Western camp, also became the Eastern European little brothers of the Soviet Union. In addition, the three Nordic countries were directly incorporated into the Soviet Union, making this

The red forces in Europe in time and space are far more powerful than in history.

Of course, the strength of the Western camp is not weak either. The old empires of Britain and France plus Italy, which is a semi-industrial country but has a fairly good level of science and technology, as well as Spain, Portugal and the three lowland countries, as well as the permanently neutral country Switzerland, are based on industrial foundation alone.

Not inferior to Eastern Europe, not to mention that behind them stands a superpower unprecedented in human history. And when the United States organized the so-called "North Atlantic Treaty Organization", the Soviet Union

That is to say, the "Warsaw Pact" was organized tit-for-tat, and China also established the "Cooperation of Eastern Countries" which initially included eight member countries: China, Japan, North Korea, Ryukyu, Lanfang, Aceh, Nepal, and Bhutan.

Organization", referred to as "Eastern Cooperation", coupled with the Islamic League established by Krim, there are four supranational organizations in the world at the same time, making the Cold War in this time and space far more likely to develop into a hot war than in history...

.

However, because the damage of World War II in this time and space was greater, no matter which camp was in the postwar period, restoration and reconstruction were given top priority. And because the United States was severely damaged in this time and space, although the "Marshall Plan" still appeared

, but the scale and intensity cannot be compared with those in history. In addition, the labor force in Western Europe after the war is far more scarce than in history, so the speed of economic recovery is much slower than in history. On the contrary

Although Eastern European countries may have suffered greater losses, because the Soviet model, or the Stalin model, was inherently suitable for recovery and reconstruction, they generally recovered earlier. The Soviet Union, in particular, surpassed the pre-war level in just one five-year plan.

level, and the growth of total industrial output value was even more rapid. Even calculated on a year-on-year basis, it was more than 50% higher than before the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, which deeply shocked Western countries.

In 1956, the total industrial output value of the United States was US$180 billion, that of the Soviet Union exceeded US$80 billion, that of the United Kingdom was US$18 billion, that of France was US$20 billion, and that of Germany was US$32 billion. These were all significantly higher than at the end of World War II, but in the end

impressive

Several countries in the East were surprised. This year, Japan's total industrial output value reached 18 billion US dollars, catching up with Britain for the first time in peacetime (of course, the British population loss was also an important factor in this time and space), and North Korea was

3 billion US dollars, and the

Although the country did not have the recovery growth bonus of post-war reconstruction, it still maintained an industrial growth rate of more than 10%. In the five years after the war, the average annual growth rate was more than 12%. In 1956, China's total industrial output value was close to 100 billion.

dollar, becoming undisputed

The world's second largest industrial country was proposed. However, since China's population at this time was close to 900 million (at this time, the population of the United States was less than 160 million, and the Soviet Union was less than 200 million). On a per capita basis, it was once again on par with the backward countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

Let’s be together...(To be continued...)
