France suddenly slammed China We lack shells, and it s all to blame for not exporting cotton

Mondo Military Updated on 2024-03-07

Tierry Breton, a member of the European Commission Commission, recently said that due to a lack of a particular material, the French team is now unable to provide its army with sufficient ammunition and missiles because most of the materials it uses are imported from China. China stopped importing nitrocellulose to the United States a few months ago. Ordinary people may think that explosives have nothing to do with cotton, but in fact, nitrocotton is probably what he calls "cotton". Nitrocotton is made by combining cotton fibers and nitrate, which has high flammability. Data show that in 2022, China's exports to nitrocellulose will be 2900 tons, 25 from the United States5%, 24 in Vietnam8% and 8 in France3%。

The shortage of nitrocellulose in France does have something to do with China.

China is a peace-loving power, and it is clear that it is somewhat out of place for China to sell Ukraine when European countries want to help it. In terms of development history, the production of ** items has a long development process. Although black powder was first discovered in China, the current black powder has nothing to do with black powder. The first gunpowder in modern times was called bitter acid, which was made by the British in 1771 and was initially used as a pigment, but when it proved to be very explosive, it began to be used in large quantities as ammunition in the 19th century.

In 1779, the British developed a detonator - "mercury", which can be used to make gunpowder, as well as "gunpowder" and "needle". In 1807, the Scots made the first ignition explosives from potassium chlorate, sulphur and carbon.

The French first noticed in 1838 that cotton fabrics could be soaked in nitric acid**. The Germans developed nitrocellulose in 1845, and since then, nitrocellulose has been used as an explosive instead of black powder. In 1846, the Italians developed a liquid substance, namely: oil. The Germans developed TNT, also known as trinitrotoluene, in 1863.

Later, the Germans developed a smokeless explosive that allowed machine guns to be introduced. In 1844, the French developed a smokeless powder that did not contain any substance, which created a favorable environment for the development of machine guns.

The production process of nitrocellulose is not difficult, but Europe has long lacked military production capacity, so it can only rely on Chinese nitrocellulose. It's ridiculous that Europe is arrogant about China, but when they want to go to war, they are controlled by China.
