as the largest agricultural exporter in europe
but everything they exported was a commodity
and not specialized crops
so no almonds and shit
or tomaotes. russia is a potato stan
china finally industrialized the right way in the deng xiaoping era
SLOWLY
yup
Deng really suffered all the evils of communism
china is fucked now as 1. it can't raise the standard of living much more
too much people
their labor already costs too much for totally mindless industries
and they have a rust belt
as it's easier to build a new steel plant than upgrade an old one
which is what happened in the USA and europe. USA rules for specialty steels
the japanese built new plants making better steel
chinese steel sucks
indian steel is minutely better
ussr made steel with 1930s tech
the usa had 40s-50s tech
ussr was not mechanized but could assemble the stuff the usa sent them
the german and japanese armies were not mechanized
the british were sligtly
tanks != mechanization
the germans pretty much walked to moscow
for hte most part
that involves trucks as well
alright spergs, have fun
yeah
no trucks
the germans basically had enough MATERIEL to get to the line from Leningrad to Moscow to the Caucauses where most of Russias stuff was
urss would not have reached berlin without the lend lease.
not nealy enough stuff to CONQUER it
actually they would've fucked them in the ass probably no matter what
stalin moved all hteir production eastward which basically won the war strategically for him
there is nothing hitler could do. hitler could even take the caucauses, sieze the oil fields. what the fuck is he going to do?
he doesn't have the tankers to ship it togermany
he can't build a pipeline
he could kill every single private in the red army in 1942-43. what does that do? nothing
they hvae more being conscripted and still outnumber the germans.
