Switzerland is surrounded by powerful countries. Why can Switzerland become a permanent neutral country?

The Alps in Switzerland are very famous. This country is relatively young, but the Swiss people are very smart. The Swiss have formulated a prudent policy in their long-term diplomacy, and decided the country's foreign affairs through a referendum. It can be called the country that likes referendum the most in the world. People are worried that European integration will encourage countries to accept immigrants and drag down domestic order, so they rejected the decision to join the EU twice. With a good financial foundation, long-term national stability, and the secrecy policy implemented because of not joining the European Union, Swiss banks have become safe havens for the rich in the world.

Swiss banks have a history of 753 years, which is longer than this country. Switzerland has a history of only 725 years. Similarly, Switzerland, which has always been cautious in diplomacy, decided to join the United Nations by referendum in 2002. The United Nations was born in 1945. Due to the basic national policy of permanent neutrality, Switzerland has long played the role of mediator in the world, attracting a large number of international organizations to set their headquarters in Switzerland, including the International Red Cross, the World Health Organization and the World Trade Organization. It can be said that the unique Switzerland can remain neutral for many years, and only after years of neutrality can it achieve today's Switzerland.

The land area of Switzerland is 4 1.284 square kilometers, and the area of Changchun is 20604 square kilometers. In other words, Switzerland is as big as Changchun. Throughout the countries around Switzerland, Germany is in the north, France in the west, Italy in the south and Austria in the east, almost all of which are powerful countries.

Switzerland has always maintained a militia-style army in which all the people are soldiers and mobilized by the whole people. The number of its troops is still as high as 360,000, the highest per capita level in the world. According to the Swiss Constitution, male citizens between the ages of 20 and 42 must perform military service according to law as long as they are in good health. Recruits were formally incorporated into the company after receiving 15 weeks of basic training, and continued to return to the army for retraining and service between the ages of 20 and 42.
