The strategic legacy left by the great man is still in effect in curbing the provocation of the United States
Chairman Mao's strategic legacy is the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea 71 years ago. This war is not far away, and older readers, even fathers, have participated in it. In fact, this war was originally a flashpoint for hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union, but when the war burned to the border of the Yalu River, the mainland could not sit idly by, especially when the United States landed artillery fire in our Dandong area and hurt innocent people, China was even more unable to stay out of the matter.
People who know a little about history know that China's social environment at that time was actually very unfavorable to participating in the war again, after all, it was only a year after the founding of the country, the country needed to recuperate, and the requirement was to develop the social environment steadily, rather than rushing to the war.
Secondly, the war over the years has also made us have a little cowardice towards the capitalist countries, and we dare not easily confront them, so there were still many voices opposing war in China at that time. But at this time, there was a person who stood up, and he was Chairman Mao, and it was obvious that he saw more profoundly.
First of all, in terms of national defense, the Yalu River is an endless grassland, and if the UN forces really cross the Yalu River and cross the Korean Peninsula, China will once again be unreservedly exposed to malicious people. In this way, China will once again fall into a situation of arbitrary slaughter, because North Korea can invade, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will not also attack China.
Secondly, in terms of international relations, the attitude of the United States in the current civil strife in North Korea is already very arrogant, and if it does not take advantage of this to extinguish his arrogance, it will obviously bury a very big hidden danger to the mainland. Based on these two reasons, Chairman Mao finally decided to resist the United States and aid Korea and defend the country! In 1950, a million volunteers crossed the Yalu River with great vigor and vigor and officially began the journey of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea.
How "despised" were we in this war? The first to bear the brunt was the United States, in their eyes at that time the Chinese volunteer army was just a group of semi-automated "ancient troops", that is, there was no air supremacy to ensure logistical supplies, nor high-tech fully mechanized weapons to ensure firepower output, how can they defeat their all-American mechanical weapons?
In fact, they were finally beaten in the face by us, in the first battle, under extremely bad weather conditions, the volunteer army that could not guarantee cotton clothes defeated their weapons, the U.S. army was very well supplied, and even the ace army became history in this battle, and under the attention of the people of the world, the world's first superpower finally lost to the "developing country" in Asia.
In this war, the Americans recognized the iron-blooded strength of the Chinese soldiers and the decision of the Chinese people to unite as one, so even now, they still have a shadow and will not easily launch a combat attack on us. After all, the mainland's national strength was so weak that it could defeat them, not to mention that after decades of rapid economic take-off, the possibility of another war was closer to zero.
It can be seen that this decision made by Chairman Mao 71 years ago has now become a strategic legacy left to us by him, and it is precisely because of his foresight that the United States is still jealous of us today, and no matter how they provoke and sanction us now, they will always think of the price they paid on the Korean battlefield. This big tree named "Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea" planted by Chairman Mao perfectly gives us, the younger generations, sufficient confidence in handling Sino-US relations.
