How strong was the former Soviet Union?
I don't look through the specific information and don't cite the so-called data, all kinds of information and data, if you are interested, check it yourself.
Two points to make: one is the concept of the world police. After World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union were very powerful, and the United States is now the world's police, of course, the world's police are a little overwhelmed, and the Soviet Union at that time, but the European police, that is also in a state of everything.
Many people may not have an impression of the concept of world police or the concept of European police, so I will say a dynasty familiar to Chinese - the Tang Dynasty.
Tang Taizong Li Shimin is called the Heavenly Khan, the Heavenly Khan is the honorary leader of all countries and tribes, and the Tang Dynasty was also the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty at that time.
The second is to assist New China. It is said that after the founding of New China, on the one hand, it will engage in economic construction, and on the other hand, it will be the national defense industry.
So with the help of the Soviet Union, the first five-year plan, from 1953 to 1957, a total of 156 projects, including the national defense industry, after the implementation of the project, directly laid the foundation of China's iron and steel industry, non-ferrous metal industry, machinery industry, chemical industry, energy industry, pharmaceutical industry and other basic industrial systems.
At that time, the Soviet Union contributed money and technical personnel, and it was almost taught by hand. Why is it the Soviet Union, first, the Soviet Union is the big brother of socialism, and second, other countries do not agree with New China, and even have a so-called technological blockade.
At this time, the Soviet Union came forward, and the Soviet Union assisted in the construction of important transportation facilities such as the Chengdu-Kunming Railway, the Guangzhou-Kunming Railway, the Chengdu-Nanning Railway, the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, and the Wuchang Yangtze River Bridge, and provided China with a large number of railways and tunnels and other equipment.
In the whole process, more than 5,000 technical personnel from various industries have been dispatched to China, and Chinese technicians have also been trained.
Now many people say that China's national defense capability is very strong, especially all kinds of high-tech **, but to be honest, without the help and unconditional giving of the Soviet Union at that time, it would be too difficult for the defense industry to go to heaven and earth.
Therefore, whether the Soviet Union is strong or not, we can see from ourselves that many of the Soviet Union's strengths are strong, so in the construction of new China, we cannot erase and ignore the assistance of the Soviet Union!
