Chapter 131: Resisting U.S. Aggression and Aiding Korea! The Hardest Battle!
The South-to-North Water Diversion Project, the West-to-East Gas Transmission Project, the West-to-East Power Transmission Project, and the Qinghai-Tibet Railway are all cross-century infrastructure projects.
In other countries, it might take decades to build.
However, China completed the construction of the four major projects in a very short period of time, and each one of them is exceptionally good.
Any one of them is something that the world's infrastructure looks up to.
"Don't move! Put your hands up, or I'll shoot!"
A voice beside him brought Chen Lu back to his senses.
Turning around, I saw an old man making a pistol shape with his hands and shouting at a foreigner.
The man was startled and quickly raised his hands.
He even held it behind his head consciously, and it was obvious that he was very experienced.
How could he have imagined that the gun pointed at him was not a real one, but a fake one.
Chen Lu was a little curious, so he walked up and asked, "Old man, what happened?"
The old man looked back at Chen Lu and said, "This guy is a spy. I caught him!"
"spy?"
"Look at what he's holding. I recognize it. It's called a drone! The Three Gorges Dam is a no-fly zone. He must have no good intentions in bringing a drone here! If I scare him a little, he'll confess!"
There really was a drone in front of that foreigner.
"You misunderstood, I'm just here for tourism!"
The foreigner spoke Chinese in a non-standard accent.
Would a normal tourist carry a drone with them?
There's a no-fly zone within a hundred miles, and it's clearly stated at the entrance. This guy is knowingly breaking the rules.
Plus, he looked sneaky, so he probably didn't run away.
Soon, the scenic area management staff arrived.
"Shit! Let me go now, I'm a foreigner!"
"What foreigners? When you are on Chinese soil, you must abide by Chinese laws! We have called the police, you go and explain to them!"
"Grandpa, let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend Anna."
The old man looked at Anna warily and said, "Where is your girlfriend from?"
"Hello Grandpa, I'm the Hairy Bear Man!"
Anna greeted.
The old man's eyes softened then. If it was Sakura or Eagle Sauce, he would have turned around and left!
Although China and Russia have had many conflicts, overall we are good friends.
Especially the older generation, they still have deep feelings for the Russian bear.
Chen Lu asked with a smile: "Old man, you are very vigilant, right? Are you a soldier?"
Because there is a veteran of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in his family, Chen Lu can tell at a glance that he is from a military family and has a kind of energy that cannot be concealed.
"Hahaha, young man, you have a good eye. I participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea!"
Speaking of this, the old man looked very proud.
"Back then, I captured quite a few soldiers with my own hands!"
"He said hello hello, and I said f**k me! Do you think I'm easy to mess with?"
"I slapped him twice and he immediately became obedient!"
As the old man spoke, he made a slapping gesture.
【Hahaha, what beautiful Mandarin! 】
[They surrendered, but you still slapped them? This is torture of prisoners! ]
[The Chinese are really too barbaric, they don't abide by the Geneva Convention! ]
[Why didn't you comply? If you didn't comply, thousands more of you Eagle Sauces would have died! ]
Upon hearing his identity, Chen Lu was in awe.
Unexpectedly, I met a veteran who participated in the Korean War! If we were to select the most difficult battles in the history of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Korean War would definitely be one of them!
In 1950, China's steel production was 60 tons, while Taiwan's steel production was 8772 million tons.
China's electricity generation is 46 billion kWh, while that of the United States is 3340 billion kWh.
China's crude oil production is 20 tons, while that of the United States is 2 million tons.
All the data are dozens of times different from theirs, and some data are even hundreds of times different.
Not to mention that Eagle Sauce also has the atomic bomb.
All kinds of weapons and equipment are the most advanced, coupled with modern logistical support, we are armed to the teeth.
We were still using outdated weapons, which were like fire sticks compared to theirs.
When the gap is so huge, the normal choice is not to fight.
Just a little thought will tell you there is no chance of winning!
What's more, the Eagle Sauce did not attack us.
Logically speaking, there is no need to send troops.
The vast majority of voices in the country are that we should not fight. Our country has just been founded and there is a lot of work to be done. Can't we develop our economy while they are fighting?
Why wade into this muddy water?
However, the Chairman had a far-sighted vision and put forward a historic insight: one punch is better than a hundred!
To resist the U.S. and aid Korea is to defend our country!
We want to let the rest of the world see that we Chinese are not to be trifled with!
The Chinese people are accustomed to fighting wars, and our wish is not to fight.
But if you must fight, we will fight with you!
You hit yours, I'll hit mine.
You use atomic bombs, and I use grenades.
Seize your weakness, follow you and beat you in the end!
At that time, there were only two people who agreed to fight this war, one was the chairman and the other was the prime minister.
It was under such conditions that the Chairman, despite all objections, insisted on fighting this battle.
In the end, it turned out that he was right.
"Grandpa, it must have been very hard back then, right?"
Anna asked softly, she knew something about this history.
We know that China won this battle with great difficulty under absolute disadvantage.
The old man revealed a look of reminiscence: "The War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea was the most difficult battle I ever fought. So many comrades sacrificed their lives to drive back the ambitious wolf..."
[Watt? Didn't we win the Korean War? ]
[Your history was taught by a physical education teacher? Of course China won! ]
[I remember that the Eagle Sauce had overwhelming numbers of troops and weapons and equipment. How could they still lose? That's too stupid! ]
[It's not that you are stupid, it's that the Chinese army's fighting will is too strong! ]
In this battle, all factors are unfavorable to China.
From the perspective of topography, the peninsula is surrounded by the sea on three sides and connected to the mainland on one side.
The impact of this terrain is that the Eagle Sauce has absolute control over the air and sea.
The fighter jets taking off from the Sakura Base can provide full coverage of the entire territory with firepower strikes.
The volunteers had to be vigilant of their aerial firepower at all times.
Aircraft carriers can sail to near-shore waters and use carrier-based aviation to attack defense lines, transportation lines and important strategic targets.
Battleships and cruisers can also use their heavy artillery to bombard targets at close range.
The Eagle Sauce's subsequent troops can also use the Sakura Base as a transit station to quickly supply the battlefield.
This means that the volunteer army has to face attacks from sea, land and air at the same time.
MacArthur once said that the Eagle Sauce's best combat method is amphibious landing, and the peninsula is the perfect terrain for amphibious landing.
The Volunteer Army excels in large-scale, deep ground combat.
