Chapter 829: National Liberation Movement

PS: Thanks to the book friends "Wangyun Mountain People" and "jerryw1975" for their tips ^_^

However, what makes the countries of the world quite speechless is that such a country, which is still very poor on the whole, is not lagging behind, and at least the cutting-edge science and technology, especially the cutting-edge weapons technology, has reached the world-class level. Although China is not the first to successfully launch an artificial satellite into space due to its development strategy, the well-prepared Chinese astronauts are the first in the world to successfully launch an artificial satellite of practical significance, and the performance of Chinese rockets is also better than that of the United States, and the Soviet Union is even less comparable, and this is also reflected in the 8,000-kilometer range intercontinental missile that China recently test-launched.

The successful completion of the world's first 100,000-kilowatt nuclear power plant shows that China's nuclear science and technology continues to maintain a leading position in the world, and the successful development of ballistic missile nuclear submarines and solid ballistic missiles with a range of 3,000 kilometers shows that China already has a sea-based strategic nuclear deterrent force with actual combat significance, which is also ahead of the United States and the Soviet Union in this regard. And it is worth mentioning that China's nuclear industry has also developed rapidly in recent years, in 1956 China's total output of weapons-grade nuclear materials was enough to make 8 atomic bombs or hydrogen bombs, if urgently mobilized, the production capacity can be doubled in half a year, although it still cannot be compared with the United States, which has deep pockets, but compared with the Soviet Union, which just exploded the atomic bomb three years ago, it is still significantly stronger

However, the biggest advantage is in the field of microelectronics, after the successful development of the earliest integrated circuit in time and space in the late World War II. Chinese scientists and engineers developed a much more powerful large-scale integrated circuit in just five years, and developed the world's first large-scale integrated circuit computer one year and seven months later, and it took 13 years to develop from integrated circuits to large-scale integrated circuits in history

Because the Chinese government has always kept this kind of research strictly secret, and even appointed the feared Minister Kang to be in charge of the secrecy work, and after the relevant products were successfully developed, they were temporarily only used in national defense and other secret departments with a high level of secrecy, so both the West and the Soviet Union could only conduct their own research step by step, and as a result, the gap was not narrowed, but was widened and widened

However, for the Chinese people. The greater impact is the emergence and promotion of improved varieties such as hybrid rice. Coupled with the continuous development of water conservancy construction, chemical fertilizers and pesticides, China's agriculture has maintained the world's highest development rate since the end of the war. At the same time, the vigorous development of artificial breeding and the expansion of the scale of deep-sea fishing have made the Chinese people's dining table more oily and water. And for the northern residents, who have few vegetables to choose from in winter. The advent of greenhouse vegetables has also greatly improved their quality of life. It is because of these factors. Although China's population has continued to grow at a high rate in recent years, the people can still feel that the food is more abundant and the food is more abundant.

As for dressing and traveling, due to the continuous growth of the chemical fiber industry at an ultra-high rate of nearly 30% in recent years and the wider popularity of bicycles. The magnitude of progress is much greater than the aspect of eating. Although the country's investment in construction has been very huge, but because China's infrastructure is too weak, the annual expenditure on building bridges, roads and water conservancy is already very amazing, and the natural amount that can be used for municipal construction is relatively limited, and China's urban population has grown too fast in recent years, almost doubling every three or five years, so the problem of housing congestion cannot be solved for the time being. It is thanks to the great man's correct idea of "focusing on the development of small towns", otherwise the traffic problem would have become equally serious

In the past five years, the Chinese government has not only worked hard to develop its economy, but also actively expanded its diplomacy and even exported revolution in order to break the blockade imposed by the Western camp on China and the entire "East Cooperation Organization", and the most important of this is to continue to consolidate the already friendly relations with the Arab Federation, so as to obtain a stable supply of cheap and high-quality crude oil. The most depressed of these is the US imperialism, which originally hoped to take over some of the territories of the old colonial countries such as Britain and France after the establishment of its hegemonic status, but as a result, after the national liberation movement was launched, not only did it become much more difficult to get started with new territories, but even the United States' own semi-colony in the Philippines also set off an anti-American trend, and with the covert support of the Chinese Government, there were more and more guerrillas in the Philippines. It caused great distress and considerable losses to the US garrison

The Philippine War of Independence was one of the three major local wars in the first five years after the war, and in the end, the U.S. government was forced to relinquish military control of the Philippines because of the endless casualties and attrition. Mindanao in the southern Philippines achieved independence earlier, and because the inhabitants of Mindanao had a long-standing feud with Luzon, and were not accustomed to their disgusting attitude of being at both ends of the war of independence and still severing ties with the United States after independence, the Philippines eventually split into the Republic of the Philippines (Luzon) and the Republic of Mindanao.

Inspired by the Philippine War of Independence and the covert support of the Chinese government, uprisings and riots against the colonizers soon broke out in Java and several islands to the east, giving birth to two new nations, the Republic of Java and the Republic of East Timor. However, because the strength of the Netherlands was far inferior to that of the United States, they were instigated when the uprising began, so the intensity of the war of independence of these two countries was far less than that of the Philippine War of Independence, so they were not among the "three".

Compared with the Americans and the Dutch, who did not shed tears without seeing the coffin, the British were undoubtedly wiser and took the initiative to let the independence movement of British India become independent without waiting for it to become a prairie fire. In this way, although Britain will lose its largest colony, the new independent government can guarantee control by pro-British people, and can still indirectly transfer benefits to Britain in the future, and it can also keep it in the Commonwealth, ensuring that Britain's influence in the world does not decline too much.

Of course, there is another important reason, that is, after the war, British India was already poor, and it was really difficult to squeeze out much more oil and water. It must be noted that although it basically did not participate in World War II, due to the continuous internal war, the number of unnatural deaths in British India during World War II exceeded 30 million, of which more than one-third died in the brutal suppression of the Red Armed Forces by the British and Indian governments (during which there were numerous massacres of Red civilians), and many more died in the oppression and plunder of the British and Indian governments. In addition to the support of the Chinese Red Party, the key is the old saying, "Where there is oppression, there is resistance." (To be continued......)
