List of high-quality authors Friends who are familiar with World War II are deeply impressed by the strong military production capacity of the United States. For example, the Boeing Company, now everyone knows that it produces Boeing planes and sells them all over the world, and China also has a large number of Boeing passenger planes. However, it is a pure military-industrial enterprise. During World War II, Boeing's two most outstanding strategic bombers were the "Flying Fortress" B-17 and the "Super Flying Fortress" B-29. On the B-17 was armed with 13 127 mm machine gun with a maximum ammunition load of 7 in short range983 tons. During World War II, the B-17 bomber dropped 41% of the total number of bombs dropped by the U.S. military, as high as 640,000 tons. The B-29 is even better than the B17, because it is a high-end version of the B-17, equipped with cockpit pressurization, front three-point landing gear, remote-controlled gun turret, and its bomb load is also higher than that of the B-17, increased to 9 tons, with a range of 6,000 kilometers, and can even cruise at an altitude of 10,000 meters. 
It can be said that in the United States at that time, thousands of workers were trained to produce **. This is the ultimate code for the final victory of the United States over Nazi Germany and the Japanese army!Even after the end of World War II, the United States launched many wars one after another, such as the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, the Syrian War, and the Afghanistan War. These wars have created huge profits for the art complex, making their pockets more and more bulging!
The same has been true in the recent Russia-Ukraine conflict. Since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the stock prices of U.S. industrial companies have risen sharply. The share price of the "leader" Lockheed Martin has risen from $354 per share at the beginning of the year to $453 on March 25, an increase of 28%. In the same period, Raytheon Technologies also rose by nearly 20%. The market "chasing" these military giants has already shown that the Russia-Ukraine conflict has allowed these companies to once again capture additional "business opportunities". On the surface, the United States has increased its military aid to Ukraine, resulting in an increase in the US defense budget, and it seems that the Americans have suffered a loss. However, this has brought a large amount of "war money" to the American industrial enterprises. This would allow U.S. military companies to hire more U.S. workers and pay more taxes. Most importantly, major U.S. companies will use political donations to express their gratitude for Biden's policies. It can be seen that the United States has made a lot of money from the Russia-Ukraine conflict. However, this also exposes the biggest shortcomings of the United States and even shatters the myth of America's strong military-industrial production capacity!When the Americans are ready to assist Ukraine with a large number of Stinger missiles, it is necessary to restart the production line of Stinger anti-aircraft missiles. As a result, they were shocked that they could not find a sufficient number of skilled workers!
And no wonder, because the American Stinger missile has been out of production for more than 20 years. At present, Raytheon has long ceased production, and if the United States wants to increase purchases, it can only start by building factories. What's worse is that the electronic components inside the missile are also out of stock, and if they are to be produced, the circuit must be redesigned. To complete this whole process, the first missiles will not be delivered until at least 2026. In this regard, Wu is also quite helpless. Because, Ozawa doesn't know if he can hold on until 2026!Today, the United States does not even have the most common shells. Some time ago, the United States actually shipped a large number of artillery shells to Ukraine, and sent them to Israel. It can be seen from this that the United States is now in a state of disarray!The situation on the part of the Navy, and even worse. Now the biggest problem for the US Navy is that the old ships are not maintained, and new ships cannot be built. The main reason is that there is no way to quickly expand reproduction due to the lack of workers and dry docks.
According to a report by Huanqiu.com, the USS Connecticut, the US Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarine that crashed into the underwater mountains in the South China Sea in 2021, has been towed back to the United States. However, it has recently been reported that the submarine will not return to service until early 2026 at the earliest. One might think that the USS Connecticut was so badly injured that it would take up to five years to repair it, but the fact is that the U.S. shipbuilding industry has been seriously underbuilt for many years. 
According to Bloomberg, according to the US Navy's previous assessment, about $80 million is needed to repair the USS Connecticut, and congressional appropriations have been put in place. It stands to reason that it should be repaired as soon as possible, after all, the "Connecticut" also has a service period, and once it expires, it can only be scrapped. However, the US Navy shipyards have no choice, because there are already too many nuclear submarines that need to be repaired, and everyone is waiting in line for repairs. 
According to the statistics of the US Navy, the USS "Connecticut" turned out to be in 18th place. You must know that the US Navy has a total of 49 attack nuclear submarines, and now there are more than 1 3 waiting for repairThat is, these 1 3 attack nuclear submarines, just like that, in a senseless wait, wasted valuable service time!The worst is the Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine USS Boise, which has been waiting for maintenance at the shipyard since 2017. Today, the boat has been waiting for more than 5 years ......And the service life of modern attack nuclear submarines is generally about 30 years, and the "Boise" wasted one-sixth of its life in vain just this repair!If it is repaired a few more times, it will not need to enter the navy service, it will simply be scrapped directly, and it can also save a lot of maintenance costs!
Interestingly, a group of Jiangsu shipyards have recently become popular in the United States and Western countries, especially the United States. In this group, almost all of the entire picture are Chinese shipyard workers who are off duty. They were dressed in overalls and hard hats, talking to each other. Some are smiling, others are busy on their way. This is a fairly familiar picture for Chinese, but it fills the hearts of Americans with envy, jealousy and hatred. Because, the United States has rarely seen such a scene now. Don't look at the per capita GDP of the United States is several times higher than ours, but most of it is in the service sector, and the proportion of the manufacturing part is getting smaller and smaller every year. For young people in the United States, their dream is to work for a large financial company. Because, these companies have good office conditions and can earn more wages. In recent years, many large U.S. manufacturing companies have moved their factories out of the U.S. because it's hard to find enough skilled workers in the U.S. However, Biden wants to revitalize the U.S. manufacturing industry, which is nothing more than wishful thinking. Even if the United States has a huge accumulation of technology in semiconductor technology, it can only rely on South Korea's Samsung and Taiwan's TSMC to produce chips. Why does the U.S. produce chips in these two places?It's because American workers can't do the difficult job of making chips!
At present, TSMC, which moved to the United States, has begun to regret it. Not only is there a shortage of chip engineers and skilled workers in the United States, but their costs are also much higher than in other regions. In this way, even if TSMC in the United States can produce chips, it will be too high and there will be no sales!This can also be seen from the immigration policy of the United States. Why Biden will relax the immigration policy is not his conscience, but the extreme shortage of grassroots workers in the United States. However, for modern manufacturing, it requires a large number of engineers, as well as skilled workers who are well-educated and professionally trained. From this point of view, even if Americans cry with envy, they can't learn!
