The emperor guards the country, and the king dies the country

As we all know, after decades of accumulation and unremitting efforts in reform and opening up, our country has finally become the world's second largest economic power and military power after the United States, and its international status and influence are becoming stronger and stronger!

But you must know that in the last century, our country's comprehensive national strength has not yet reached its current level, so other countries do not attach as much importance to China as they do now, so many bad things have happened, such as the purchase of the "Varyag" aircraft carrier back then!

The abandoned USS Varyag aircraft carrier in Ukraine

In 1997, our former People's Liberation Army soldier and businessman, Mr. Xu Zengping, spent a lot of money to purchase the USS Varyag aircraft carrier in Ukraine. However, on the sea route being towed back home, Turkey actually extorted us a toll of US$1 billion, which was 30 times the cost of purchasing Varyag!

What should I do?

Negotiate! But this negotiation is not that simple. We were still led by the nose by Turkey. Varyag was in Turkey, but it took a long time to return to our land.

After we had completed all the procedures, Turkey still refused to let go and asked us to find a Western country as a guarantee. Isn't this an obvious difficulty?

But we were also lucky. Fortunately, our Greek brothers stood up and guaranteed it very righteously, because even the Greek brothers couldn't stand it anymore. 终于，瓦良格号才回到了咱们祖国，但可惜的是，耽搁了这么长时间，不免有些浪费啊。

However, Turkey's good times did not last long, and the fortunes were turning. The "Varyag", which was made difficult by Turkey in the past, has now become our new aircraft carrier with combat capabilities, and our country has become the world's second largest military and economic power.

Now, Turkey has suddenly reneged on its word, offered to repay the US$1 billion in tolls that year, and also asked us to increase investment in Turkey. This shows that the vision of a small country is always short-sighted because its vision and pattern are very limited.

In contrast, our Greek brothers stood on the right side and helped us, and we must repay them well!

China strives to help Greece emerge from economic crisis

Looking back on the past, we have experienced countless difficulties and challenges, but with our firm belief and spirit of never giving up, we saved the day and won everything we have today.

During the 2008 financial crisis, Greece, a small country, suffered an economic crisis, and its situation was difficult. However, China's Lao Tie stepped forward and provided support from all aspects to help it overcome difficulties.

For China, we will always remember every friend who helped us, and we will also remember those countries that made things difficult for us!

Patriotic, let's be together!
