Earth 75 is an ocean. It can be seen that any place in the world can be reached through the ocean, so Mahan's "On Sea Power" came into being.

Human beings can reach space and even land on the moon, but the deepest part of the ocean is currently inaccessible to humans.

The development of the world's economic powers is indeed closely linked to the ocean. The Dutch are a natural maritime business people. They have a famous saying: "Navigation is necessary, life is secondary."

Relying on a huge ocean-going transport fleet and a well-trained and powerful navy, the Netherlands gloriously ascended to the throne of maritime dominance in the 17th century.

The two Opium Wars of the Qing Dynasty also started at sea. Unfortunately, the Qing Dynasty navy at that time still belonged to the inland river guard force, which was different from the old maritime empire. This led to the loss of the country and the signing of unequal treaties one after another.

The Japanese navy in World War II was powerful. It played an important role in several famous wars, such as Pearl Harbor, the Battle of Leyte Gulf, and so on.

The defeat also came at the hands of the navy. Without the Pearl Harbor incident, the U.S. military would not have participated in the war, and World War II might not have ended until several years later.

Today's United States has powerful maritime power, but in the early days of its founding, the United States was troubled by some "pirates", so it launched the first war against terrorism - the Barbary War. One shot was fired by the Navy.

After this war, the U.S. Navy finally joined the ranks of naval powers.

The 1990 Gulf War also started with Tomahawk missiles launched by naval ships.

Every war has brought huge economic benefits to the United States.

It can be seen that no matter in history or now, the importance of the ocean is indescribable. In today's world, land resources are becoming increasingly depleted, and only the ocean still contains rich resources.

Whoever owns the ocean will play a dominant role in the future world.

As an armed force that protects the ocean, the navy has been a priority development service for various countries in recent times.

China is a big land country, but it is also a big maritime country.

After 60 years of development, the Chinese Navy has become the fourth largest maritime armed force in the world.

However, China's peripheral situation is not optimistic. The South China Sea issue and the *** issue are bottlenecks restricting China's economic development. There is Japan in the east and ASEAN in the south.

We also have to face the world's number one U.S. Navy. 60 of the U.S. Navy's 14 strategic nuclear submarines (except for the two regularly maintained) are deployed in the Western Pacific. If something happens, they can immediately launch 48 submarine missiles. Strategic missiles, and each missile carries 28 nuclear warheads. Which country can afford it? The most economically developed places in China are all within 200 kilometers of the coast (Beijing, Tianjin, Tang Dynasty, Yangtze River Delta, and Pearl River Delta). Once they are destroyed, China's economy will go back for at least 10 years.

Thirty years of reform and opening up will be destroyed in one day! What is sad is that the Chinese navy is still restricted to the so-called first island chain.

It is also an offshore defensive yellow water navy.

It can be seen that the Chinese Navy has a long way to go, and the navy, a technical branch, should become the top priority in the development of the Chinese military!

I believe that the Chinese Navy will be able to better shoulder the important task of protecting the motherland's thousands of miles of maritime territory in the near future! Let China's rise begin by controlling the ocean!
