Two years ago, after the appearance of the Dangning element, it caused an uproar around the world, especially in the world scientific research community. This shock is not due to the fact that human beings have mastered a completely new element, but more importantly, a series of changes after the appearance of the Ning element.
After the emergence of the Ning element, it immediately set off a revolution in the metal industry, and the traditional metallurgical process was completely replaced by a new type of metallurgical technology. The new special steel metal has replaced the original steel market and has become the mainstream of the world.
The sub-alloy with the logo of the special steel group has entered thousands of households, and in the army, the sub-alloy equipment has replaced the original old-fashioned equipment. Even in terms of construction, many real estate chambers of commerce specifically emphasize that they use sub-alloy buildings, and regard sub-alloy buildings as a selling point.
From China to the world, the transformation of the metal industry is ongoing, and there is no end in sight. Unless one day, the world is renewed, and the whole world becomes a suballoy, or the suballoy is replaced by a new metal. Otherwise, a new era of suballoys is about to begin, and there will be no results in a short period of time.
If the era of suballoys only had an impact on the market, then the emergence of the reverse nuclear device directly changed the global landscape. The emergence of the anti-nuclear device announced the emergence of a new hegemon in the world, Huaguo.
Although the power of Huaguo is still strong enough, although the heritage of Huaguo is not enough, it has not been accepted by the whole world. And China, which has an anti-nuclear device, has undoubtedly become the new hegemon of the world. With the old overlord Mi Guo, compete with each other for the authority of the world.
And as a veteran overlord and the current world boss, is Mi willing to share his authority with Huaguo?
There is an affirmative answer to this question, no.
There is only one throne, and everyone wants to sit on it themselves, enjoy the supreme right, act recklessly in the name of the king, and enjoy the whole world. What if another person suddenly appears on the throne?
Doesn't you have a constraint? Mi Guo is naturally unwilling, he wants to regain his glory. And if he wants to regain his own glory, Ning Element is a hurdle that he has never been able to cross.
Without Ning Element, the United States would not be able to meddle in the metal industry. As one of the world's pillar industries, the metal industry makes profits every year and creates wealth that is exciting. More importantly, metal is the foundation of weapons, metal cannot be compared with other countries, and the military strength of the United States can only weaken day by day and be overtaken by other countries.
There is no Ning element, let alone an anti-nuclear device. And without an anti-nuclear device, it is impossible for the United States to turn the tables, and he will have to face the threat of an anti-nuclear device at any time.
Even so, the United States is still repairing with its own efforts and increasing its strength.

Such a behemoth, such a supergiant, it has countless world firsts, and occupies a dominant and controlling position in many fields.
Looking at the development of human history, there are countless people who are weak in force, lose their power and humiliate the country, and those who use military force to bring about their own destruction, and it can be seen that the military issue is by no means just a question of strengthening the army, and the first thing that should be how to build an army that is absolutely under control.
In the more than 200-year history of the United States, the army was only more than 10,000 when it was weak, and it reached its peak of 12 million in World War II. When the army was weakest, it did not fall into danger for the country, and when the army was strong, there was never a situation in which the generals were tyrannical and domineering, confronting the government and the people. It can be said that the US military is an army that can come when called, can fight when it comes, can win in battle, and can withdraw when it wins.
Strengthened with the needs of the country, and dismantled at the request of the national policy, the army can always be under the control of the national policy, rather than hijacking the national policy. The United States has achieved this by relying on the absolute leadership of the civilian system over the military and the control of the military by Congress.
Civilian rule refers to the leadership, control and command of the military by the president and the defense minister and the supreme command authority under the legal framework; Congress can control and influence the military by enacting laws, seizing the right to declare war, controlling appropriations, reviewing personnel appointments, and consulting with Congress.
Although the president's executive system has never stopped squabbling with Congress, and many people even see it as inefficient and useless (except for the function of separation of powers and checks and balances), it is this arrangement that guarantees the complete subordination of the military to the state and the system.
Under the separation of powers between Congress and the president, it is very convenient for the president to deal with disobedient generals, and congressional consultation and appointment approval make it extremely difficult for misbehaving generals to be promoted. In the face of both executive and legislative control, if the military loses the support of the civilian government, it will be unable to sustain itself, let alone confront.
Imagine if the president was solely responsible for making military laws, and Congress had no power to intervene, the cost of bargaining between the military and the president would be much lower, so that laws that constrain the power of the military would be resisted, and Congress would lack an effective way to support the president if the military is disloyal. The loyalty of the military will depend entirely on the strength of the president himself, and there is no guarantee that every president will be a political strongman.
In addition to the separation of powers between Congress and the President, the leadership of the civilian Department of Defense is also an important part of ensuring loyalty. Because of the professionalism of the military and the close relationship between the generals and the military, it is very dangerous for the president to lead the military directly or through the military.
The United States military has continuously strengthened the leadership of civilian officials in successive reforms, and the law also stipulates that officers cannot serve as defense ministers within seven years of retirement.
In a word, in order to create a reliable, controllable, and absolutely loyal army, the president, as the commander-in-chief of the army, must find another overseer of the army, the most suitable one is Congress, and the power is decentralized. There is also a need for a civilian defence component to control the military, rather than military leadership. This is the foundation of the national defense system of the United States, and it is rooted in the concept of the founding of the United States. Only then can a reliable and controllable army adapt to the situation, constantly reform, and develop into a flexible and usable army. (To be continued.) )
