We all know that the United States is the world's superpower, and at the same time the economy is also the first, and has its own military bases in many places, but one thing is confusing, that is, the United States can build military bases in other countries, but it does not have the ability to build high-speed rail in its own country. You must know that high-speed rail is closely related to people's livelihood, why can't the United States build it?Carter gave the reason for this phenomenon, he felt that the United States has been at war, while China is busy building high-speed rail, and it is not easy for the former ** to have such an understanding.
If you want to say which country benefited the most in the two world wars, it must be the United States, because the homeland of the United States was not affected by the war, even if Japan attacked Pearl Harbor later, the battlefield was not in the United States, so the United States does not need to come up with a lot of money to rebuild the country.
In addition, although the United States was the victorious side in this war, they have been selling first-class equipment and making a lot of money from it, which also makes the United States see an opportunity and feel that the development of military industry can bring huge wealth to the United States. However, with the end of the war, such benefits will be gone.
The United States was originally a British colony, and at the time of the Revolutionary War, there was no mature system in the American army, so it was very chaotic. After two wars, the United States was not threatened, so the United States felt that the national defense problem had been solved and did not need to be strengthened again, so those standing armies became the main body of defense.
When the U.S. made the law, the military was also complicated, that everything about the military would be controlled by the state, whether it was recruiting soldiers, disbursing money, or declaring war on other countries. And even if it is allocated by the state, the time will be very short, usually within two years, and the purpose of this is to make the army unable to become stronger.
Not only that, but in their constitution, it is also stipulated that ** only has the right to command the army, whether it is the militia or the standing army, and it has to be said that only the United States will have such an army system. If we consider it from the perspective of our country, the imperial power and the military power absolutely need to be unified, otherwise it will cause serious consequences, but for the United States at that time, the development environment was so good, it was reasonable to formulate such regulations.
On the surface, it feels like this system is to balance the power of the army and the first, but if there is a real war, the troops managed by this system will have a very serious deviation in implementation, and the combat efficiency is not high. The United States faced such a problem during World War II.
Then in 1947, the United States re-enacted the law, and this system is still used in the United States troops, the main content of the law is that the United States ** wants to command the whole army, must be through the Department of Defense, that is, the chief of staff to convene a meeting, and then let the Security Council decide the direction of the war. Although this system allowed the military to concentrate power, another problem arose was the political intervention of the troops, which was reflected in MacArthur.
Then the United States was controlled by the military-industrial complex and the army, and then the military-industrial complex appeared in the United States, and it began to fall into the quagmire of war and could not extricate itself. The United States made a fortune in World War II, and at that time, the United States' scientific and technological development was the top in the world, and their military industry also developed rapidly, but if there was no war, then there would be no market for the ** they produced, and then the United States began to induce wars around the world, so Carter said that the United States has been busy fighting for so many years, and China has been busy building high-speed rail during this period.
After the end of many years of war, China has been thinking about how to make its country stronger, and through the thinking of several generations of leaders, they feel that the development of the military industry can not make the country strong, only by making the people rich and economic development, will there be more resources to invest in the development and construction of various fields, so China clearly knows this, will quietly engage in development, and has never wanted to cause trouble, but the United States is the opposite.
