It would be great if Guo Zhuocheng could also provide a lot of money now. Now, as long as there is money, there will be no difficulties in China's affairs.

Now everyone knows that China has entered the heyday of history, and China has been the most powerful since thousands of years in recorded history.

All people can predict that as long as China digests all the returned territory, as long as the country is stabilized, as long as the country's work is back on the right track, and as long as China's development process is not interrupted by foreign hostile invasion, China will soon become a world-class power.

It can be said that the current China can only succeed and not fail, and must not be supported to death by these recycled land, and must do its best to turn these lands into a boost that can enhance China's comprehensive national strength, not the other way around.

It is not a simple matter to achieve the above-mentioned "only" to realize the dream of a strong country; not only do the Chinese have to immerse themselves in hard work, but also require leaders to be left and right in the international community, make friends and reduce enemies, acquire new technologies, open up markets in various countries, and especially avoid war.

On the contrary, these additional territories are now a temporary obstacle to China's enhancement of its comprehensive national strength, or that their accession has not only not increased China's comprehensive national strength, but has weakened China's comprehensive national strength to a certain extent.

Taking advantage of his illness to kill him is not a truth that only Chinese understand, and it is not only Chinese leaders who know that China is currently the most critical period, but also foreign politicians know that they know if they miss this period. If China is allowed to make a smooth transition, if China is allowed to breathe a sigh of relief, then China will not only rise to the occasion, but will definitely override other countries, and other countries can only look up to China.

China is not afraid of domestic troubles, nor is it afraid of resistance on the way forward, and what it fears most is foreign invasion.

In the long history of China, there have been several opportunities for development and rise, but they have been interrupted by foreign invasions. The most obvious one was the Westernization Movement that took place during the Qing Dynasty in China. Then. At the same time, both China and Japan felt that their countries were lagging behind the West, and they both began to change, with the Westernization Movement in China and the Meiji Restoration in Japan. If heroes are judged by their successes or failures, of course, Japan is a success. China, on the other hand, was a failure, but this was because people were looking at the First Sino-Japanese War, and the success or failure of the First Sino-Japanese War was used to test the success or failure of Sino-Japanese reform.

If we put aside Chinese this painful fact, as far as industrial development and scientific and technological progress are concerned, the reforms of China and Japan are actually half-hearted, and both Japan and China are elementary school students in Western countries. They are all studying hard, at most their grades are a little better, and some are just a little worse, but the level is about the same. There is absolutely no grade difference, let alone a qualitative difference.

Moreover, even if the Qing Dynasty at that time was tossed to the death of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, the Qing Dynasty was still much richer than Japan, and was more qualified and had the opportunity to surpass Japan than Japan. In more areas to catch up with the West, and of course the level of economic development of several large cities in China. The level of attention paid by Western countries far exceeds that of Japan, and the Chinese are rich and rich, and with huge funds and boundless markets, they are fully qualified to negotiate with the West on an equal footing; at that time, the West did not understand China and did not have the courage and ambition to annex China.

However, Japan not only saw the crisis, but also saw the opportunity, they saw that although China was rich, but could not concentrate, although China had a large army, but did not follow the progress of the times, let alone a prestige leadership core, especially after the blow of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Manchus in the Qing Dynasty wanted to seize military power but could not catch good soldiers, so they had to make a stumbling block for the Han people, and the Han people had good soldiers but were restricted and guarded by the Manchus, and did not dare to increase their strength according to their own wishes and the needs of the country......

As a result, they concentrated the power of the whole country and brazenly invaded the huge Qing Dynasty.

Except for the Japanese, who launched the war of aggression, many others were not optimistic that they would win. At that time, not only did China's rulers think that Japan was not capable of doing enough and foolishly imitated the West to invade China, but even Western countries were not optimistic that Japan would win. In the eyes of Western countries, although the strength of the Chinese navy is not among the top in Europe, it is the first in Asia, and the Japanese navy can only be China's little brother. The Chinese army is huge, the army can be replenished endlessly, and the logistics are convenient and the materials are sufficient.

The reason why Western countries, especially Britain, supported Japan's attack on China was only because the British wanted Japan to be cannon fodder, hoped that Japan would beat China to the ground, and they also bargained with China to extract more benefits from China. This is the case in the United Kingdom, France, the United States, and Russia, all of whom are people who hold a small bench and knock melon seeds to watch the play.

What surprised them was that the tiny Japan really knocked down the huge China, made the Qing Dynasty surrender, and extorted hundreds of millions of taels of silver.

The defeat of the Sino-Japanese War not only disgraced the Chinese and made the Japanese take hundreds of millions of taels of precious silver, but more importantly, it made Western countries discover that China was really a fat pig without lethality, a rich man who could be bullied by everyone, so that they wanted to make more money from the Chinese. More importantly, the Japanese interrupted the short-term course of China's development, directly led the foreign affairs movement to stop, caused China to slide into the abyss of impossible development, and made the Chinese lose their self-confidence and motivation for development.

The Japanese have not only gained strong self-confidence, but also gained the attention of the Western countries because of their strong national unity, and the arrival of those huge sums of money has given them the impetus to move forward, allowing them to follow in the footsteps of the West faster and more steadily.

It can be said that the Japanese invasion deprived China of a good opportunity for development.

In the thirties of the twentieth century, China's economy began to stabilize, especially in the northeast controlled by Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Xueliang's father, whose development had surpassed that of Japan. The new policy of the Zhang family made the national industry and commerce in Tohoku a threat to the economy of Japan's Manchurian Railway, and at that time, Tohoku formed a heavy industry system centered on steel and coal, and a light industry system centered on grain processing, textiles, and food industries.

Future generations often only remember the prosperity of Shangtang and the ten-mile ocean, but what they don't know is that in Asia's second international metropolis, Harbin, 34 foreign-funded banks have opened branches in Harbin and have direct business contacts with international financial centers such as Paris and New York.

There are more than 1,800 foreign commercial establishments in Kazakhstan. In 1926, China's first radio station, Harbin Radio Station, was established and launched, and in May 1928, Harbin Station was able to sell direct tickets to European cities.

Corresponding to the northeast, the economy of Guannai also began to recover, although some people put gold on Jiang's face, saying that there was a golden decade of economic development at that time, but it cannot be denied that the period from 1927 to 1937 was indeed a period when Jiang was in power on the mainland was relatively stable, and the national economy did get a certain degree of development.

However, China's development was once again interrupted by Japan, which invaded China in a full-scale way, and once again stifled China's hopes of rising.

It can be said that Japan is very vicious, and they have dealt the heaviest blow to China at two of China's most critical moments. In particular, in the all-out war of aggression against China that began in 1931, they raised the whole country to attack China and almost killed China. Even if China is not killed in the end, it will deprive China of the opportunity to rise again.

Now China can be said to be the time for the third rise, and its appearance is much better than the previous two, and the hope is greater. Even if the Japanese saw it this time, they didn't have the ability to strangle and block it because they didn't have enough ability.

It is true that the Japanese do not have this ability and qualification, but Western countries such as Europe and the United States do. Japan, a small island nation that once dared and was able to dispel hopes for China's rise, would be more confident that China's hopes would be dashed if they were united.

If foreigners can think like this, how can people inside China not see it?

The supreme chief and others saw it, thought of it, and were still worried, and Guo Zhuocheng also saw it, thought of it, and was worried. Because they all know that now is the most promising time for China's rise, but also the most weak time, we must be careful and careful to care for this seedling, and we must not let it die.

To take care of this seedling, it is definitely not a simple matter, it is not okay to be too low-key, and it is not okay to be too high-profile. When Japan invaded Northeast China, Jiang made a compromise with Japan, and Zhang Xueliang shamelessly declared that he would not resist, ordering the Northeast Army, China's most elite and best-equipped unit at that time, to retreat into the Guannei, and handed over to Japan the Northeast region, which was the most economically developed and wealthiest in China, and hoped that the League of Nations would sanction Japan and force Japan to retreat.

However, the actions of Jiang and Zhang Xueliang did not bring the desired effect, but instead fueled the arrogance of the Japanese, who led them to become more and more appetizing, and began to invade China in an all-out way, and began to want to bring the whole of China under their rule.
