Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

Of course, this support is not given in vain.

It should be said that since World War II, the strength of the United Kingdom has gradually declined, retreating from the hegemony level to a first-class developed country, and as time goes by, the United Kingdom has become weaker and weaker, it seems that it really can't do it.

However, in terms of manufacturing, especially high-end technology manufacturing, the UK is still very strong.

As we all know, with the reform and opening up, it took three to forty years for the inland of later generations to become the world's factory, and Chinese manufacturing spread all over the world.

But in fact, our manufacturing industry is still at the low-end level, and there is still a certain gap between high-end manufacturing in Europe and the United States.

From this point, it is not difficult to see that the manufacturing level of a country has nothing to do with its production capacity.

Take the automobile field, which can best reflect a country's manufacturing level, as an example. When people mention cars in later generations, they blindly think that the quality of cars in Germany, island countries, and the United States is the best.

Because the three countries have their world-famous cars, such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Ford, Toyota and the like.

But in fact, the background of the British in the automobile industry is far from that of the Germans and the islanders. When Mercedes-Benz and Toyota are still working hard to make good cars, the British have already built the best cars in the world .

Compared with ordinary cars, racing cars have higher requirements for manufacturing. The British auto industry's continuous innovation and ultimate pursuit of car performance have attracted a large number of Formula One racing teams.

Of the eleven Formula One racing teams in the later generations, eight teams have their headquarters in the UK. The UK has the world's largest racing industry cluster, which undoubtedly illustrates the level of British manufacturing.

The level of automobile manufacturing in the UK has allowed the world's top auto parts manufacturers to set up production bases in the UK.

The failure of British cars was not because of insufficient quality and innovation, let alone the level of manufacturing, but because they lost to mass-produced civilian cars such as Ford, Mercedes-Benz, and Toyota.

Chapter 937 British Industrial Level

Seeing that Yang Chen didn't speak, Youde was not in a hurry, because he knew that the person in front of him would definitely agree. Although Britain fell, it was limited to the economic aspect. Without the cheap raw materials and huge sales market in the colonies, the British economy was weakened. Also within reason.

However, the economy belongs to the economy, and the industry belongs to the industry.

If the economy is not good, it does not mean that industrial technology is also not good.

Later Russia is a good example. Although Russia's domestic economy is not good, it still maintains its status as the world's second military power relying on the huge legacy left over from the former Soviet Union.

Until the 21st century, Russia was regarded by European countries as the greatest enemy and threat. In the future, Russia will be the only country that dares to challenge the superpower of the United States face to face, except for the inland land after its rise.

The confrontation between Russia and the United States is mostly in the military field.

The confrontation between the mainland and the United States is mostly in the economic field.

Later generations, China and Russia are consistent on the issue of confronting the United States. The two countries rely on each other, and China and Russia add up, then it is a strengthened version of the former Soviet Union, which is completely capable of full-scale confrontation with the United States.

People often say, 'a skinny camel is bigger than a horse'.

Russia has inherited the huge industrial system of the Soviet Union, and has always been in a leading position in the field of military manufacturing, and very few are even more advanced than the United States.

Relying on the legacy left by the former Soviet Union, Russia is not much inferior to the United States except that its economy is not as good as that of the United States.

However, how long did the United States and the Soviet Union dominate the world?

Ten years, or 20 years?

It has only been 40 years since the end of World War II, and Britain started the industrial revolution as early as the middle of the eighteenth century, and after completing industrialization in the nineteenth century, it has already dominated the world.

From the end of the eighteenth century, to the nineteenth century, and then to the beginning of the 21st century, it all belonged to the era of British domination of the world.

We must know that before World War II, the United Kingdom was still the world's most powerful country. Even if the United States, Germany and France are unwilling, they can only come second.

The United States, which achieved great development in World War I and World War II, did not jump out to pick the fruit with the Soviet Union until after the end of World War II. After that, it took decades to gradually increase the influence of the United Kingdom in the world. eliminate.

Britain has risen rapidly since the Industrial Revolution. Its early period spanned three centuries, and its dominance lasted for more than a century. Without the support of advanced industrial technology, how could it maintain its huge navy?

Moreover, the United Kingdom is the third country to develop a "combined" weapon after the United States and the Soviet Union after World War II.

As the first developed country to achieve industrialization, the UK has been a world-class power, if not the most powerful, since it entered the era of industrialization.

Its decline is not due to its own weak industrial strength. The UK has the most complete education system in the world today, and its industrial technology accumulation is unmatched by many countries.

The decline of the United Kingdom was mainly due to the fact that I encountered a stunned young Germany. During the two world wars, Germany seemed to have been cursed, and it had been fighting against Britain and France regardless of the cost. Don't think about it.

He was willing to cut himself to pieces, and dared to pull the emperor off his horse.

The two world wars lasted for several years each time. In addition to Germany's early advantage, it was basically at a loss with Britain and France in the later stage.

Why did Britain, France and other countries force Germany to bear a large amount of debt after the two world wars?

In addition to the heavy losses, the other one is that Germany is too angry. Knowing that the result is a loss, it still refuses to surrender. It did not raise the white flag to surrender until the last breath of the big guys was exhausted.

The status of the United States and the Soviet Union today was not achieved by fighting European countries with fists. The two countries jumped out to pick peaches purely after the others were exhausted and exhausted, and they all left the field.

The two world wars exhausted Britain's previous hundreds of years of accumulation, and the rise of national independence made it impossible to maintain the British colonial system, which led to Britain's fall from its hegemony.

Although the national strength of the United Kingdom has been weakening since World War II, the industrial technology accumulated in the early stage has not been lost.

We must know that during World War I and World War II, Britain was only bombed by German planes, and the mainland was not occupied. All scientific research and technical talents in the country were completely preserved.

Most of today's technologies are products developed during World War II. The UK has sufficient accumulation in the field of high-end technology. The only thing that is lacking is the transformation of technology into practical products and applying it to markets that need it.

Sometimes, to measure the industrial level of a country, we should not only look at its economic strength, but also look at its level of scientific research and education.

As we all know, the reason why the United States is so advanced in science and technology is mainly due to the fact that there are many high-quality universities in the United States, whether public or private, many of the world's famous universities come from the United States.

The level of scientific research and education in the UK is now the only country comparable to that of the US. The US has Harvard and Yale, and the UK has Oxford and Cambridge. In terms of talents, British universities attract international students from all over the world every year.

Especially in the member countries of the Commonwealth of Nations, students from these countries are influenced by their parents, and most of them choose the UK as their first choice for studying abroad.

Britain was able to maintain a quarter of the world's colonies, and British education played a role that cannot be ignored.

A hundred-footed worm, dead but not stiff.

After the United Kingdom was able to come down from its hegemony, it did not quickly become A, B, C, D. In the next 21st century, it will still have the confidence to withdraw from the European Union. It is not difficult to see that the strength of the United Kingdom is not as weak as everyone sees.

The British system, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, has been continuously improved in the middle, and the elite class leading it is definitely not a dead man.

The pros and cons of withdrawing from the EU are absolutely clear. Since it has been done, no matter what the reason is, it shows that the UK will still have confidence in the next few decades.

The United Kingdom has always been independent from the European continent in the early days, and has always been a bystander and the instigator, staring at and interfering in the development of European countries.

The United Kingdom has been able to maintain its independence for hundreds of years and stand out from other European countries. In addition to its superior geographical environment, another reason is its own strength.

In modern times, the strength of a country is measured mainly from two aspects of economy and industry.

Needless to say the economy, although the UK has declined, its economy is still among the top ten in the world, and its industrial technology is also the world's leading.

Since he took the initiative to deliver it to his door, how could Yang Chen refuse.

However, the necessary reserve is still required.
