American Barracks

[Former US Barracks] In the Tianjin Concession period after 1900, there were many foreign barracks, and now the Italian barracks with intentional concessions are completely preserved, the French barracks on Chifeng Road, the old American barracks on Daqi North Road, and the new American barracks on Guangdong Road. All are very well preserved. Other Haiguang Temple Japanese barracks have only two dormitory buildings, and the German barracks near Haihe Middle School on Jiefang South Road and the British barracks at Guizhou Road No. 1 have long been gone. In 1917, the end of the First World War, the United States and China, after weighing repeatedly, finally joined the war team, chose the Anglo-French side, declared war on Germany. After China declared war on Germany, the Germans in Tianjin returned home, and the German Concession was also taken back. The German Concession that was built with wind and water became the Chinese border. The area of the small white building they had seen for a long time was really back in the hands of the British. Americans are not a people who are good at running colonies. They will not spend a penny more to invest in countries that do not belong to themselves. The American barracks near the Xiaobai Building took advantage of the German concessions and left the British concessions. Moved to a larger area across the racecourse. Although the Americans did not develop and build in Tianjin, but the stationing is a lot, after the poor soldiers and the French, after the Pacific War, Japan took over all foreign barracks in Tianjin, including this American barracks. After the Pacific War, American barracks were taken over again, with American jeeps and trucks full of streets, drunken American soldiers, American officers with cigars in their mouths, and soldiers with David and the troops in white hats everywhere. If it weren't for the establishment of New China, it is estimated that the US military bases in Japan, South Korea and the Philippines will still appear before our eyes. In the United States barracks in Tianjin, many names we are familiar with have appeared: Army five-star general George Katrik Marshall, commander of the United States military in China, chief of staff of the Chinese theater, Joseph Stilwell, chief of staff of the Allied military, and Albert Weidmai, chief of staff of the Chinese theater. Bao Rhide, leader of the US military observation team in Yan'an, etc. ......

The past that cannot be forgotten, the country is weak, and people are bullied.
