At the beginning of World War II, the Danish theory was that Japan launched a large-scale killing in China, and the German Bosch ignited the war, but it did not immediately cause direct intervention from the United States. Due to the barriers between the Atlantic and the Pacific, the United States was far away from the smoke of war, so it watched the fire from the other side of the river and waited for changes. The so-called "isolationism" was rampant, which was naturally reasonable. Because this was in line with the national interests of the United States at this time.

Not only that, the United States also announced that the warring countries would transport all goods.

This is not the case. The United States implemented weapons, ammunition and war materials; but it still lost to Japan by various means.

According to statistics: Among the military raw materials and materials imported by Japan in the past year, the United States' steel was inferior, automobiles and parts accounted for Sichuan, oil and crude oil products accounted for, scrap steel accounted for the mountains, and pig iron accounted for the mountains. In the past year, Japan's military materials consumed by the war of aggression against China were imported from the United States.

The United States has been selling strategic supplies to Japan until the eve of the outbreak of the Pacific War, while Japan has continuously applied these strategic supplies to the Chinese battlefield. In a sense, in order to make a fortune from the war, the United States actually acted as accomplice of Japan's invasion of China.

However, what the United States did not expect was that Japan took advantage of the favorable opportunity of the Third Reich of Germany sweeping Europe and began to advance southward, directly threatening the United States' strategic interests in Southeast Asia.

As the war in Ou Yuan gradually subsided, the United States understood in a true sense that "isolationism" had made them lose too much time. The United States did nothing and did not know whether it was smart or stupid. At least the United States really gained a lot of benefits. The problem is that after the war in Ou Bai ended, the Axial Group either targeted the Soviet republic or the United States, and the United States was already in a state of war with Japan.

It was under this situation that the United States gradually emerged from the vicious circle of "isolationism" and began to pay special attention to the situation on the Eurasian battlefield. Before directly intervening in the war, the United States' strategy was: to aid allies in Europe against the Axis powers; because at this time the main interests of the United States overseas were in Europe, while the Third Reich of Germany was the main threat. France had surrendered and Britain was in danger. At this time, it was also in line with the interests of the United States.

Originally, the United States had formulated a strategy of "Europe first and then Asia" to determine the strategic pointer of the Atlantic Ocean first and the European group first. In the Far East, it assisted China against Japan. Its purpose was not to hope that China could defeat Japan, but to prevent Chiang Kai-shek from surrendering to Japan and allow the War of Resistance Against Japan to continue, and to make the invaders pay an increasing price.

As Roosevelt said to his citizens, aiding the invaders was to prevent the United States from being involved in the war. "If we do our best to support those countries that defend ourselves and resist the attacks of the Axis powers, then the possibility of the United States being involved in the war will be much smaller." In this way, substantive aid to China became the key to the adjustment of the US policy toward China. On the day when Japan recognized the Wang Jingwei regime, the United States gave Chiang Kai-shek government a loan of $100 million. It also admitted in a tit-for-tat way that "the Chongqing government legally generated in accordance with the constitutional procedures."

In March 2019, the US Congress passed the Lease Act. Roosevelt announced that the bill would apply to China. The United States announced that it would give up its privileges in China after the war. Roosevelt sent Tielmore to China and served as political adviser of the Chinese government. The US official group arrived in Chongqing. Sino-US military cooperation officially began.

The Axis powers dared to take huge risks to land in Britain, which was an unexpected result that the United States had to adjust its strategy. At this time, the United States could no longer see the value of reinforcement of Britain, so it could only change its strategy and no longer implement the strategic core of "the European battlefield is first and the Asian battlefield is second". In other words, China's battlefield was in a subordinate position in the past, but now it has to change its mind and seriously consider supporting China.

At present, China has no meaning to humming friends in the world. They have fought alone for so many years. If it weren't for a resolute will, they would have been unable to hold on. China needs friends, but the weak are destined to have friends. Because the United States needs China to restrain Japan, the United States has begun to provide assistance to China. This assistance is not without cost, the premise is that it is based on the Chinese people's lives to exchange for it, so that Americans can bleed less. Similarly, the decision to support China is also for strategic needs. There is no so-called kind-hearted help in the world. All assistance needs to be rewarded.

After the outbreak of the Pacific War, the role of China's battlefield in the United States' global strategy was highlighted. For this reason, the United States had to speed up its cooperation with China. However, at this time, the United States encountered a big problem. Supporting China was favorable. However, the United States came back to its senses and suppressed it and found that China was completely "encircled" and it was difficult to find a favorable transportation line to export aid to China!

At this time, Asia was no longer a simple battle between China and Japan. The Axis powers had already extended their tentacles into Asia. After the US Pacific Fleet was paralyzed, the Pacific Ocean almost became the "inland sea" of the Japanese fleet. Faced with such a situation, the United States became a little helpless. Some people even proposed the idea of ​​"abandoning aid to China" for a while. Fortunately, Roosevelt was not a fool without vision. Although the policy of aiding China had twists and turns, it was implemented.

China is an ancient country with a very historical heritage. During the Tang Dynasty, Chinese civilization developed to the highest peak of Chinese history. After a brief period of chaos (Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms), China entered another glorious period. However, the glory of the Song Dynasty was flawed, that is, "structural imbalance". Compared with the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was prosperous in literature and martial arts, and the yin and yang were uneven. This structural imbalance was not obvious at that time. The Song Dynasty was so prosperous in economy, culture, education, and science and technology. Who would have thought that under the appearance of prosperity and development, the Song Dynasty's territory was reduced day by day, and it paid tribute, and finally perished. A dynasty that could not protect itself, no matter how brilliant it looked, was just a wedding dress for others.

By the Yuan Dynasty, China's structural imbalance was temporarily alleviated, but it fell into the abyss of slowing down development. The Yuan Dynasty was a dynasty with great force. The situation of the prosperity of literature and martial arts in the Song Dynasty had a certain change, but there was no situation of both civil and military prosperity. When the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty in the year of the year, its martial arts reached its peak, and then it fell into constant internal disputes. What about the civil governance of the Yuan Dynasty? The political situation in the Yuan Dynasty was relatively chaotic, economic development was not satisfactory, and culturally it was not

For example, the Tang and Song dynasties flourished. The Yuan Dynasty maintained its absolute leading position in the world at that time with its vast territory and deep civilization foundation in various regions, but was helpless to find that China's development speed had slowed down. In the distant Europe, Western countries struggling in the darkness re-entered the fast lane of historical development after the end of the Crusade War. As a result, the rise and fall of one another, and the prospect of civilization development became unfavorable to China. Although it was far from the time when China was lagging behind, this possibility undoubtedly increased.

China in the Ming Dynasty seemed to have gained a new life, but unfortunately the good times did not last long. Old problems in history broke out again, and new problems appeared again. The structural imbalance that was alleviated in the Yuan Dynasty once again occurred (the Ming Dynasty was also prosperous and the martial arts declined), and the Ming Dynasty was not as strong as the Song Dynasty and the Wu Dynasty. As a result, the Ming Dynasty fell into a long-term stagnation. In the mid-Ming Dynasty, China lost its long-term technological leadership (this leading position was established in the Han Dynasty and maintained for more than a thousand years). Westerners say that "the Chinese New Year is a turning point in the development of the East and the West, and this view

The point was widely agreed. In the late Ming Dynasty, what China could lead Western countries was its huge scale and its dazzling appearance, which made Westerners who came to China admire it in the early days. Once they realized the essence of the erosion under the appearance of the Ming Dynasty's gold and jade, Westerners couldn't help but feel contempt and surprise. For this reason, they first gradually eroded China's neighbors such as Ceylon, Java, and Luzon, and then extended their claws to China's close neighbors Taiwan and China's local Macao. China's local colonization appeared, and China was infected with cancer.

In the Qing Dynasty, China temporarily suppressed the further expansion of colonies in China with powerful measures, preventing the spread of tuberculosis cells, and at the same time paid the price of a large number of normal cells. However, the Qing Dynasty did not completely kill cancer cells. As the Qing Dynasty passed its heyday, cancer cells expanded and China fell into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. The specific manifestation was that after the Ming Dynasty lost its leading position in science and technology, the Qing Dynasty lost its overall advantage. Due to the progress of the Western Industrial Revolution, the economic output of tens of millions of British people exceeded the labor results of hundreds of millions of Chinese people, and agricultural civilization was significantly lagging behind industrial civilization.

There is a saying in China that "a hero does not mention his courage" can also be used on the country. No matter when and where people will only see the performance in front of them, but will not remember the past. Japan, which once surrendered to China's feet, is now rampant on China's territory. Even if it has a glorious history, China is basically despised. This is the unchangeable status quo.

As a weak country, China cannot take the initiative to find friends, and no one can take it seriously without strength.

In the past, countries underestimated China. They only saw that most of China was defeated by Japan. Until Japan began to attack countries other than China, these countries seemed to realize that "it turned out that it was not that the Chinese were too useless, but that the Japanese were too powerful!" At least China had been fighting for more than nine years, but the Allies in South Asia were about to collapse and fled.
