Whales fight with shrimps. This is an ancient Korean proverb, which means "when big whales fight, small shrimps suffer", but it has become a true portrayal of the post-war fate of the Korean Peninsula. The division of the Korean Peninsula began when the United States and the Soviet Union implemented a partition and occupation policy on North Korea under the name of trusteeship, using the 38th Parallel as the boundary. The competition between the United States and the Soviet Union for the "power vacuum zone" became increasingly fierce on a global scale, which eventually led to the outbreak of the Cold War. The United States and the Soviet Union turned from cooperation to confrontation on the Korean Peninsula. The confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union on the Korean issue was actually a confrontation between two ideologies and political systems. The Korean Peninsula thus became a "battlefield" for direct ideological confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union. The United States and the Soviet Union adopted different occupation policies, which had a profound impact on the political, economic, and social development of the northern and southern parts of the Korean Peninsula. After more than three years of occupation by the United States and the Soviet Union, two political and economic entities with completely different development directions emerged in the northern and southern parts of the Korean Peninsula. The division of the Korean Peninsula is no longer a geographical division, but a more profound political system division. The fate of the Korean Peninsula's division was doomed from the day the United States and the Soviet Union occupied North Korea, and the emergence of two different political and economic entities paved the way for the outbreak of the Korean War in the future.

From 1904 to 1905, in order to compete for the control of Northeast China and even the dominance of the entire East Asia region, a series of fierce land and sea wars took place between the decadent old imperialist country Russia and the newly rising imperialist country Japan. This fierce war had a profound impact on the military thought and political situation of later generations: through the Japanese army's attack on the Lushun Fortress, later generations of military strategists summarized effective fortress offensive and defensive tactics. The victory of the Japanese naval combined fleet in the Battle of Tsushima also marked that Japan would go further and further down the path of militarism. In terms of the political situation, Russia, which failed militarily, fell into a series of chain reactions. Domestic dissatisfaction began to rise in 2016, and the communist revolution began to brew. The resulting changes in the European pattern were about to begin.

From May 1944 to May 1945, the desperate Luftwaffe struggled hard. Facing an enemy with an absolute strength advantage, the German Air Force tried to regain its advantage by reorganizing its troops, developing new aircraft, and developing missiles. To this end, in the last year of the war, the Luftwaffe almost eliminated its bomber force, relying on fighter jets for most combat missions, including ground attack, while investing huge resources in science and technology. This book will present to readers the history of the German Air Force, which is mixed with hope and leads to destruction, in the form of pictures and texts. Readers can not only feel the power of strategic bombing from the book, but also have deeper feelings and thoughts about that magnificent history.

This book uses detailed information to describe the birth, growth and glorious history of the Soviet Union's unique military force, the Homeland Defense Air Force. It has detailed historical materials on the organization, equipment, commanders, and honorary titles of the Soviet Home Defense Air Force. It is a reference book that military enthusiasts and war history enthusiasts should not miss. During the Cold War, the Soviet armed forces consisted of five major services, the least known of which was the Homeland Defense Force. The Homeland Defense Force has a long and unusual history. During World War II, it completed a series of important strategic and operational tasks, including the Siege of Leningrad, the Battle of Moscow, the Battle of Kursk, the Ten Strikes, the Battle of Berlin and other famous battles, and protected many political and industrial central cities, hundreds of industrial enterprises and military groups. During the Cold War, the Homeland Defense Air Force effectively ensured the security of the skies of the Red Empire. After the end of the Cold War, Russia carried out a large-scale transformation of its armed forces. In July 1997, the Homeland Defense Air Force was abolished and the original air defense force was transferred to the Air Force. From 2010 to 2011, the organizational structure of the Russian air defense forces underwent major changes again. Over the past century, the Homeland Defense Force has gone through a glorious but difficult road. This book is arranged in chronological order, detailing the nearly century-long history of the Soviet Union's homeland defense air force.

In 1975, it was the 15th anniversary of the outbreak of the Vietnam War and the second anniversary of the signing of the Paris Peace Accord. Just when everyone thought that North and South Vietnam had transitioned from years of armed struggle to a peaceful economic construction track, the Vietnamese People's Army unexpectedly launched a spring offensive. From the fall of Phuoc Long to the fall of Buon Ma Thuot, the situation in South Vietnam reversed. North Vietnam seized the opportunity to send troops southward and finally captured Saigon. In just 55 days of decisive battle, the 700,000-strong army of the Republic of Vietnam, once a powerful army in Southeast Asia, was wiped out. This victory has triggered many speculations in the world, whether it is a miracle or a myth. The answer can be found in the book "Myth and Reality: The Great Victory of Saigon in 1975".

As a once glorious empire on which the sun never sets, Britain relies on its powerful Royal Navy to control the entire ocean. After entering the ironclad steam era, battleships with large-caliber main guns, thick armor and high-power engines became the symbol of British maritime power. In the field of battleship construction, the UK has continuously launched works of epochal significance, including the "Sovereign" class, the "Dreadnought", the "Queen Elizabeth" class, etc. These powerful battleships have become the vane leading the development of the world's navy. Although famous, there is no systematic and complete introduction to British battleships in China, and this book makes an attempt in this regard. From HMS Warrior to HMS Vanguard, this book includes and details every battleship that has served in the Royal Navy, and even includes the failed N3 battleship plan. I hope this book will become a first-hand source for domestic readers to systematically understand British battleships and British modern sea power.
