Why do you assume that the war will conclude in a month.properly harbor
I am talking about War that will conclude in one month. Any thing longer than that will involve a lot more entities and sabotage which will criple both. Ask China if they are ready for it.
Also read my post which I wrote months ago on Pearl harbour attack response or lack of response of USA against Japan before detailing history and the evolution that expands into many years.
The context and variables which helped USA will not help or repeat for economies like China when it will start a war against opponent India.
It is good to have a generic grasp of History to fill the space but imposing it's conclusions on present day scenarios is far from plausible IMOH.
If anything looking at the Russian Ukrainian conflict or the Vietnam Fiasco it becomes apparent that the global powers tend to Duke things out to the bitter end no matter how bas the situation is.
Looking at Russia and how the long the war has continued and the resilience of their economy i very much doubt the Chinese would face anything worse when their economy is much more industrialized and import export oriented. Europe and US have pretty much failed at crippling Russia which is more of a renfri state so i absolutely don't see why they would fare any better against a proper manufacturing powerhouse.
I don't expect the Chinese to just grab a win against us if we ever clash far from it infact but in general terms i do expect them to better respond to attrition and machinary losses. On the other hand India too has a lot of advantages in the form of infrastructure natural borders and the general Terrain of NE.
From all the battles we have seen though out history quantity manufacturing supremacy and logistics are the key features in any sort of prolonged war. One of the prime reasons why Germany lost both the world wars was because of its over reliance on the doctrine of fast based attacks or what we call today as blitzkrieg. Once dragged into an attrition based conflict they eventually ended up on the losing side.
I would request you to tag your post on pearl harbor as i was unable to find it.
