War criminals in Germany and Japan were sent to the gallows one after another, which was regarded as a successful end to World War II. The criminals received the punishment they deserved, and it seemed that justice had been upheld. However, the whole world did not calm down.
World hegemons strive for hegemony in the new world.
Among them, the one with the most arrogant attitude was Truman. He was originally Roosevelt's deputy and a spare tire, but Roosevelt died just at the beginning of his fourth term. Truman took a big advantage.
Truman, who had just ascended to the presidency, was eager to make some noise, realize his courage as a new president, and get rid of the shadow of the Roosevelt era. Truman dared to think so because he had huge economic strength as the basis. At present, the industrial production capacity of the United States exceeds that of hundreds of companies in the world.
40/40, its gold reserves exceed 70%, it has dozens of aircraft carriers, and it also possesses nuclear weapons. By any measure, it is the world's most powerful country.
Truman was different from Roosevelt. Roosevelt was a real great politician. He valued the country's political interests more, could consider problems from an overall perspective, and chose to continue to maintain world peace through cooperation between major powers. Truman, on the other hand, was eager to find an enemy.
, as a target.
In fact, this is easier to understand. After having enemies, the United States can blatantly expand its power and invest huge sums of money in the military industry to satisfy the greedy appetite of the arms giants. Those who truly dominate U.S. policy are the individuals hidden behind the scenes.
Huge financial group.[
Among them, the arms consortium, energy consortium, financial consortium, etc. are the most powerful ones. They can dominate the policy direction of the country. Once there is a confrontation between major powers, they will need to continuously invest funds in military industrial enterprises, which will consume a lot of energy.
It is easy to control the world financial market through conflicts between countries.
Therefore, the large financial groups in the United States are the most supportive of confrontation. Of course, choosing which country to be the enemy requires some consideration. There are only two imaginary enemies that the United States can choose, one is China and the other is the Soviet Union.
Both countries are large and populous countries with vast territories. China has also mastered the atom. It also has more than a dozen aircraft carriers and more troops than the United States. From all aspects, China's power even exceeds that of the Soviet Union. Naturally, it will be locked
The second child is an opponent, so there is a loud voice in the US government to deal with China.
However, China has implemented an open policy and joined the Bretton Woods system. U.S. conglomerates can fully obtain benefits through normal investment in China. The two countries already have very deep economic ties, and they are not two distinct systems.
.
Moreover, the current focus of the world's attention is still on Europe. The Pacific direction is still secondary. China is too far away from Europe on this issue, while the Soviet Union is eyeing it and poses a greater direct threat to the United States.
Truman was also wavering. He had no choice but to adopt exploratory methods to see what the plans of China and the Soviet Union were. First, Truman proposed at the United Nations to support the restoration of the Jewish state. The Palestinian area was not large, but it was very critical. It was located on the east coast of the Mediterranean.
To the south is the vital Suez Canal, to the north is not far from Turkey, and to the east is the Middle East, the world's emerging oil producing area.
The U.S.'s approach is undoubtedly to drive a nail here. Compared with China and the Soviet Union, the U.S. started its move to the Middle East a little late, so the Americans must catch up from behind. Zionism became the best excuse.
"President, this is a good move by the Americans. They used the brutal massacre of the Jews to win the sympathy of the world. Then they established a Jewish state. From then on, the US military can influence the Middle East arbitrarily!"
"Brother Baili, do you think we should interfere?"
Jiang Baili said with a smile: "The President is profound and far-sighted. Can't you see that? The United States today is like a child with excess energy. There must be a space to vent. The United States raises the issue of Zionism, but
It's just asking for directions. The Americans want to see the reactions of China and the Soviet Union to determine the next strategy. Our main task now is to practice hard at internal strength and hide our capabilities and bide our time. Besides, China already has nuclear weapons, and the United States does not dare to "force" it.
Too much, we might as well just let the Jews establish a country. They are surrounded by Arabs, and they can do whatever they want to do with this country in the future!"
Qiao Yu actually had the same intention. He did not want to blindly confront the Americans, so Qiao Yu was not too opposed to the issue of Zion. At the same time, China also withdrew some of its troops from the Middle East and only retained a small number in Kuwait.
troops and large navy ships withdrew from the Persian Gulf in an orderly manner. At the same time, Qiao Yu announced a disarmament plan and mothballed eight more aircraft carriers, reducing China's number of large aircraft carriers to six.
The most important thing is that China agreed to the partition plan of India. The South Asian subcontinent was divided into two parts, India and Pakistan. In addition, Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim and other countries were also separated from India. These countries
The country has been properly chilled and acts as a buffer zone between China and India.
China has taken these steps, and its attitude of moderation has been very clear, sending a signal of goodwill to the United States. At the same time, China's domestic investment in large-scale infrastructure construction has also begun, and American capital has also gained a larger share. China is trying to keep a low profile and bide its time.
, and the Soviet Union couldn't stand it anymore.
Since acquiring Turkey, Stalin's main thought day and night was to turn the Mediterranean Sea into a footbath for the Soviet Union. Now that the United States suddenly struck a wedge, how could the Soviet Union not be angry? The Soviet Union strongly opposed Zionism at the United Nations, but
At this time, the Soviet Union's nuclear weapons had not yet exploded, and they lacked confidence. Moreover, the United States controlled the United Nations General Assembly and put pressure on the Soviet Union in a unanimous manner with the majority of countries.
At this time, the Soviet Union did not dare to easily use its veto power, and the Soviet Union also knew that even if it vetoed, the United States would not care. The veto power must be based on sufficient strength. Therefore, the Soviet Union did not fight to the end.
, but the Soviet Union immediately launched assistance operations to other Arab countries, and also accelerated the atomic development process.
Soon two years later, the Soviets exploded the first atom, and all three major countries possessed nuclear weapons. Then the three countries successively developed hydrogen. A balance of terror was formed between the three major countries in the world.
However, due to the competition in the Middle East, the conflicts between the United States and the Soviet Union became increasingly intensified, and leftist forces in Latin America and other places expanded rapidly, and independence movements in Africa also emerged. Most of these emerging countries turned to the Soviet Union. For a time, the Soviet Union
The global influence has increased significantly, and the United States and the Soviet Union have gradually embarked on the path of complete confrontation, and there is no turning back.
Qiao Yu is most satisfied with this result. What China needs most is time to make internal and external adjustments. This period is a good time for China to work hard on its internal strength and improve its national strength rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, fifteen years after the end of World War II, China has also experienced fifteen years of steady and rapid development. During this period, the original high-level figures, Jiang Baili, Yan Xishan, Liu Xiang, Yang Sen, etc., passed away one after another. The changes in China’s leadership
The transition between the old and the new is also proceeding rapidly. Qiao Yu is also nearly seventy years old. He has handed over all the main powers, and the new Prime Minister Shen Hongmin's administration has been very smooth. The political arena has remained stable, and the entire society has continued to develop.[
First of all, China's population has experienced a boom after the war, especially in the Nanyang region. After a large number of immigrants, the population has experienced explosive growth, making China's total population exceed 800 million. Following this trend, China's total population has exceeded 800 million.
One billion is not a difficult thing.
The increase in population has not brought any burden to Chinese society as it did in previous dynasties. The main reason is the successful development of Nanyang. China has a large and reliable granary. In addition, the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and the wide spread of improved varieties have made China a world leader.
The largest agricultural country in the world.

Food can not only satisfy the country's huge population, but can also be exported to the world in large quantities. China's agricultural exports have surpassed the United States, becoming the world's largest agricultural country. There is food in hand. I don't panic. At this point, China's
The foundation is completely solid.
To make the huge population realize its due value, education is also indispensable. After the war, China invested a large amount of Japanese reparations in education, and at the same time, no less than 10% of the annual fiscal budget was allocated as special funds.
, used to support the development of education.
Adequate investment has enabled basic education to be spread smoothly. The completion rate of compulsory education in China has exceeded 90%. The university enrollment rate has also increased rapidly, providing hundreds of undergraduate graduates every year. The national illiteracy rate has dropped.
When it reaches less than 5%, the quality of the population is rapidly improving, and China's labor resource advantages are constantly being magnified.
The world's major multinational companies have settled in China one after another, and Chinese local companies are also actively going global. China's manufacturing share continues to expand. Of course, if we want to develop industry, infrastructure construction is also inevitable.
The southeastern coastal areas, the Central Plains, Nanyang and other places are undergoing rapid development and improvement. A large number of industrial enterprises have settled there, and urbanization has exceeded 50%.
As China's industry develops, its products have also had a huge impact on the world. There are actually two types of so-called developed countries. One is those with a complete industrial system, their own unique skills, and strong competitiveness in the world. The other is those that rely on
With the facilities of big countries and undertaking some industries transferred by big countries, they have lived a comfortable life. Currently, the representatives of such countries are some small countries in Europe.
As a late-developing country, China's overall level is slightly worse, but China has adopted a follow-up strategy. In addition, China also has an astonishing number of small and medium-sized enterprises. The biggest magic weapon of these enterprises is copycats. With these enterprises, China has the ability to integrate all
Products are all priced at bargain prices, and China itself has strong scientific research capabilities. The quality of its products has quickly surpassed that of some small countries, and the prices are also extremely cheap.
These small countries lost their advantages first, and the small countries in Western Europe and Latin America were the first to bear the brunt. They either struggled to hold on and stubbornly protected themselves with tariffs; or they gradually became China's source of raw materials and gave up their own industries.
Not only these countries, but also traditional industrial powers such as Britain, France, Germany, and Italy have also felt tremendous pressure. They have also had to abandon most low-end industries with low profits. However, China's catch-up momentum has not stopped. Technology
The level of military technology has improved rapidly, and a large number of military technologies have been transferred to civilian use. And the most important thing is that China took the lead in developing its own electronic computers at the end of World War II. With the development of electronic computers, China has become more and more advantageous in heavy industry and manufacturing. And
Advantageous industries in other countries are also constantly facing challenges.
Only at this time did Western countries feel the real pressure. China's huge human resource advantages came into play, and the entire country became a crusher for developed countries, constantly snatching various industries. More and more small countries were "forced" by China.
