The logic of "being behind will be beaten" seems to be "truth".
Dating back to 100 before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the humiliation suffered by the people of China has nothing to do with "backwardness"; During the Opium War, China's army was not as advanced as the "imperialist" powers, and "officials" lamented that "backwardness" was the source of China's shame; Therefore, the China government rearmed its troops and sent personnel for ocean training. In just a few decades, in addition to paying huge "war reparations", it also established a fleet known as "the first and most powerful navy in Asia"; In the "Sino-Japanese War" known in China's history, it was "wiped out" by the "tiny country" in just a few months; In just a few decades, China still "repaid" huge "war reparations", which made the Japanese army stronger; These "Japanese robbers" constantly used the plundered wealth to update their weapons and equipment, and constantly launched wars. Even their former "allies" were not spared, and successively plundered the interests of China being "divided" by Russia and Germany; From tens of thousands of troops in the Opium War to tens of thousands of troops in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, to the Russo-Japanese War and World War I, until the eve of World War II, Japan's troops in the northeast of China alone reached one million, and its modernization level was unmatched by the Japanese. Japan's "militarism" thought has gradually taken root in the "practice" of the Japanese victory, and the Japanese "Emperor" has no reason to doubt the ability to "conquer China"; So the war to "destroy China" began, so the Lugou Bridge on July 7th, 1937, followed by Shanghai and Nanjing. ...
The escape speed of most troops in China is not "behind" the Japanese army, and only a few hundred thousand Japanese "imperial troops" swept half of China; In the victory of the Japanese army, Japan strengthened its confidence in the destruction of China. The Japanese dare to distribute weapons to the army that just "conquered" China. They have great confidence in the military quality of China's army, which is an expert in civil war and a layman in foreign war. China's army belongs to the sheep, and everything will be fine as long as one sheep is picked out, so Wang Ching-wei was lucky enough to be the sheep, and Chiang Kai-shek, who was crowned as the leader of the national anti-Japanese war, lost this opportunity because of indecision and slow action, but the Japanese continued to be another sheep for Chiang Kai-shek.
