Do you remember? In the modern history of China. There are too many humiliating histories of "having a country without defense". From the Opium War in 1840 to the victory of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in 1945, imperialist countries all over the world once extended their claws to China, and Russia divided a large area of our country. Eight-Nation Alliance hit Beijing, leaving the ruins of Yuanmingyuan; After the Japanese militarists set foot in Nanjing, more than 300,000 China compatriots were killed in the streets ... These scenes confirmed the backwardness and cowardice of China at that time. "If you fall behind, you will be beaten". After the territory was repeatedly trampled by foreign invaders, China began to stretch its muscles and take off like a dragon that had been sleeping for a hundred years. It was not until 1949 that the new China was founded that the people of China stood up. 1960165438+1October 5, China's first missile took off; 1964 65438+1October 16, a spectacular mushroom cloud rose over lop Nur, and China has its own atomic bomb since then; In the 50 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the anniversary has shown the world the modern weapons and equipment of our army, which proves that China's national defense science and technology and weapons and equipment have made great progress. The strength of China and the rise of China have repeatedly proved to the world that China's national defense is progressing, and also announced to the world that China's national defense has occupied a place in the world: China's comprehensive war strength is the third in the world (the United States, Russia and China), the fourth in the world (the United States, Russia, France and China) and the seventh in the world (the United States, Russia, France, Britain and China). The army ranks second in the world (Russia, China and the United States), the air force ranks sixth in the world (the United States, Russia, France, Germany, Britain and China) and the navy ranks sixth in the world (the United States, Russia, Britain, Japan, France and China). From these simple data, we can know that China has an important position in the world. All this, all the changes, are due to our constant attention to national defense, and our national defense is constantly strengthening.
As a new generation of successors of the motherland, we sometimes want to say what we can do for national defense. In fact, we saved electricity, a grain of rice, a drop of water and a piece of paper ... these are all contributions to national defense. We should learn a good lesson and take a setback seriously, and we are also laying a foundation for national defense, laying a good foundation for becoming a rising star of the motherland and working hard to become the party's reserve army. Let's put national defense security in mind.
