The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

The world situation triggered a chain reaction because of the chaos in Japan.

This includes the Ryukyu Restoration Organization's demand to restore the Ryukyu Kingdom, as well as major changes in the battlefields in Afghanistan and Iraq, and Germany's choice.

The German army surrounded 293 US military bases in the country, cut off water, electricity and communications, and the German government took a very tough attitude.

France and other European countries have expressed their support for Germany, which they believe is a normal country, and then accused the United States of misbehaving by stationing troops in Europe.

Today's Europe is no longer the Europe that was reduced to ruins during World War II. Today's Europe has long completed post-war reconstruction.

Moreover, because of the Iraq War, the Franco-German alliance was established, and the Franco-German alliance broke off relations with the United States. The two sides are no longer the seemingly close allies they used to be, but opponents!

The Franco-German alliance wants to revitalize Europe and restore its glory. Its biggest enemy is not Russia, but the United States. The United States is the biggest opponent and stumbling block to European integration!
Moreover, the United States is no longer the world's largest and most powerful industrial country. The U.S. military is very powerful and has deployed its forces around the world. It launched the Afghanistan War in October 2001 and the Iraq War on March 10, 2003. However, the United States did not show its overwhelming momentum to win the two wars.

In addition, the Franco-German alliance is moving closer to Russia at this time, and is not afraid of the United States militarily.

Faced with the changes, the United States suddenly realized that Europe was no longer the ruined Europe during World War II, and the world was no longer the same world as before.

This world is not a bipolar world, but is moving towards a multipolar world!

Countless Americans can't help but miss the Europe, Germany, and Japan of the past.

As the defeated countries in World War II, Germany and Japan paid a heavy price while launching the war. The entire country was devastated by the war, the people were displaced, the cities were in ruins, a large number of companies went bankrupt, the national economy was on the verge of collapse, and even food and clothing became a problem.

At that time, the German capital of Polin was destroyed and riddled with holes after the final decisive battle.

An American journalist once described Berlin at that time like this: In fact, Berlin was just a microcosm of Germany at that time. The war exhausted Germany's national strength, causing the country's people's livelihood to be impoverished and production to stagnate. Especially after the partition and occupation, Germany was divided into two, which led to the rupture of Germany's economic industry and regional structure. The country could not function normally at all, and even eating became a problem. As a result, the local government had to implement economic control and implement a rationing system for food supplies.

In addition, important industrial areas and resource areas in Germany, such as the industrial center of Ruhr, were controlled by the occupying countries. As a punishment for the defeated country, they tried their best to restrict Germany from resuming industrialization, which made Germany's situation after the war extremely difficult.

Japan was also in a miserable situation. Although it was not divided and occupied, it was bombed by the US military for several months, including two atomic bombs. Basically, all cities with a little industrial foundation were reduced to ruins. In addition, Japan itself was a country with scarce resources, and under the war of aggression, supplies were even more scarce. As a result, there were starving people everywhere and the land was devastated.

In order to eat, the once well-dressed white-collar workers had to look for bread thrown away by American soldiers in the trash can. And those Japanese women, for a piece of bread, took the initiative to throw themselves into the arms of the American soldiers.

At that time, American soldiers were saviors. Countless European and Japanese women wanted to be their lovers. American soldiers left behind countless mixed-race children in Europe and Japan.

American soldiers at that time also played like this, but when people were killed, the countries where they were located had to try their best to cover it up and clean up the mess for the American soldiers.

The United States has a psychological advantage over Europe and Japan. The success of European countries in post-war reconstruction can be attributed to the American "Marshall Plan". As for Japan, it was the United States that pulled it up from the ruins. The large number of orders from the Korean War brought Japan its first pot of gold after the war, and its industry was thus restored and developed rapidly.

It can be said that in the eyes of Americans, they are the saviors of Europe and Japan. They saved Europe and Japan. Isn't it normal for a savior to be a little carefree?
In the past few decades, American soldiers have been doing this, and there have been no major problems. Why did it cause such a big incident this time? The US government, which originally had an extremely tough attitude, has to soften its attitude in the face of the current dilemma.

It’s impossible to fight!

If the US and German armies start fighting, perhaps the S3 season will officially begin!

America’s focus now is on Afghanistan and Iraq!

As long as the United States takes over Afghanistan, it will have a geostrategic advantage, and neighboring countries will have to consider the weight of the United States' words.

As long as Iraq is taken, the United States' voice in the international energy market will increase significantly. At that time, the United States can even use Afghanistan and Iraq as a springboard to launch the Persian War. As long as Persia is taken, the world's energy centers will have to listen to the United States, and the petrodollar system will be extremely stable.

As long as the United States takes over Libya, it will be able to control most of Africa!
This is where America’s focus lies!
Europe is where America’s most important overseas interests lie, and there are huge political and economic interests involved!
If a war breaks out, these interests will be completely wiped out.

As long as they don't fight, it's nothing more than a war of words. They may be at loggerheads now, but maybe in two or three years they will be good brothers and allies again!

However, it is not so easy to get the US military to leave Germany.

It’s easy to ask God but hard to send Him away!
Since ancient times, this principle has been the same both at home and abroad.

How could the Americans let it go unless Germany paid the price?

These events forced the United States to give up a large amount of territory in Afghanistan, and strategically shifted from an offensive to a defensive position, with heavy losses.

The Iraq War, a planned military operation involving ground troops, was canceled.

It's just that now, people all over the world are just watching the fun and making a fuss, as if everyone is looking forward to the start of the S3 season.

The Afghan guerrillas cursed the Americans harshly and announced that as long as they withdrew from Afghanistan, the Afghan guerrillas would not retaliate against their country.

Bin Laden also released a video that went viral on the Internet around the world.

As for the Iraqi side, Saddam was so happy that he scolded the Americans harshly, and then expressed Iraq's determination again, which was to live and die with Iraq and never surrender.

In Libya, Gaddafi has been celebrating every day recently and is in an extremely good mood. He would feel uncomfortable if he didn't curse the United States for a day.

Now that the United States is in such a big trouble, Gaddafi feels so happy, and it feels even better to curse. (End of this chapter)
