First of all, at the end of World War II, it can be said that with Europe as the battlefield, the United States and Britain, even if they made peace with Germany, provoked a war, and dealt with the Soviet Union together, were not opponents of the Soviet Union, and would only be driven out of the European continent and flee to the British Isles.
The Soviet Union carried the aftermath of a hundred battles, and all the people were soldiers, and the overall quality was no longer comparable to that of the war. The biggest difference between the two sides is that the Soviet Union can use all the soldiers, while the West does not, and this advantage is that it can exponentially increase the combat power of one side.
When the French campaign began, the French Communist Party suggested that all the people should be soldiers, send ** to the workers and peasants, and increase the number of armed men by millions in the short term to fight the war of the whole people. The result was vetoed, and the French authorities felt that the workers and peasants were much more terrible than those in Germany.
Therefore, the West cannot open this skill, the military advantage is on the side of the Soviet Union, and the Soviet military industry is at full capacity, there is oil, steel and coal, there is no generation difference, in the vast battlefield of Europe, the US army will only be divided and surrounded, completely annihilated, and the rest will be withdrawn to the British Isles.
The United States has a large winning rate, the Soviet Union is strong in the torrent of steel, the United States and the Soviet Union are too far away, the Soviet tanks do not play a big role, the Soviet economy is also very different from the United States, not a star and a half difference, and there is a Soviet Union is a bit of a shadow of India today, like to slap a swollen face and become fat, now there are decryptions in many materials, the United States has developed something high-end out of the Soviet Union will immediately go to it, if you can't get it, you will pretend, as long as it looks more atmospheric than the high-end atmosphere of the United States, regardless of practical value, this situation is very common, you can see a lot of this kind of thing when you search on the Internet。
There is no comparison at all, and if so, did the Korean War prove that we were stronger than the United States, or at least about the same, then we were much stronger than the Soviet Union. To make a global inference based on the data of a certain division on a certain day, to assert that the data of the Soviet Union is watery, but to think that the more exaggerated data of Germany is fine.
If the battlefield had been placed at sea, the USSR would have lost. Because the Soviet Navy was very bad in World War II, it couldn't even defend its own territorial waters, so let him fight the U.S. Navy, and he didn't even have the qualifications to stuff people's teeth. What if the battlefield was placed on land?
Of course, the Soviet Union's long-range delivery capability was too poor to send its troops across the ocean to the United States to fight.
The United States after the riot was capable of sending troops across the ocean to land in the Soviet Union, but in the face of the Soviet Union after the riot, the United States could not win. You know, the Soviet Union had 10 million troops after the riots!
And the USSR also had home advantage. Don't tell me the U.S. has an atomic bomb. If the atomic bomb is truly invincible, then why didn't the United States and its allies take the opportunity to attack the Soviet Union after World War II and get rid of the Soviet Union as an adversary in one fell swoop?
Many people compare the Soviet Union with Germany, saying that the Soviet Union was no match for the United States. That's not telling the truth. In the early stage of World War II, the Americans had a lot of crotch, just look at Pearl Harbor, it was 41 years ago, and after the Japanese sneak attack, the United States and Japan had been tug-of-war in the Pacific for so long. The Americans relied on the depth of the rear and the explosive power of productivity to explode the army to Japan. What if Germany blitzed the United States instead? What if there is no Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean.
Blitzkrieg on the Soviet Union, which had just undergone a purge and a half-collapsed chain of command. ** There is no advantage in equipment compared to Germany. Large-scale tank clusters were available only in Germany at that time!The Sherman, supported by the Americans, was crispy chicken on the Soviet-German battlefield. The Soviets can't help it, no matter how bad a tank is, it can carry it better than a physical body.
The Americans, relying on their geographical superiority, developed indecently, and had a hard time fighting the Japanese in the early days, and later relied on their superiority in equipment to bomb indiscriminately
On the other hand, looking at the Soviet Union at the end of World War II, all kinds of tanks were dumpling, and large-scale heavy equipment corps completely overtook Germany. What can push Germany back in the later stage is the superiority of equipment.
The Soviet Union also began to use equipment for a war of great penetration and annihilation. And the results of the battle are getting better and better. Looking at the quality of the soldiers, the Soviet Union was blitzkrieg in the early stage, the equipment was inferior, the command system was also pitted, and the large army was used to delay time. The veterans suffered heavy losses, and a large number of recruits recruited in the later period grew up in battle. Naturally, there are big losses.
The United States is different, geographical factors, Americans can slowly train at home, the Navy and Air Force in the early stage of the effort, after the Army completes the training, there is a wave. What they all have in common is that both the Soviet Union and the United States had huge military forces and equipment in the latter stages of World War II. Each has more than 20 million armed forces!
The Soviet Union was strong in the army, and the United States was strong in the sea and air. If it really runs head-on, the United States will not be able to see the army at all, and it will be very difficult for the US Air Force to seize the Soviet Union's air supremacy, so it can only be suppressed. Without the Pacific, the United States would be doomed.
What was the greatest advantage of the USSR?The depth of the country. What is the war fought?A contest of national strength. If the United States attacks the Soviet Union by virtue of its superiority in national strength, and the Soviet Union can make great strides to the rear after a little contact in the initial stage, and clear the wilderness, even if the United States has strong national strength, its military station capability still cannot cover the entire Soviet Union, and at the limit of the supply of the United States, the Soviet Union can turn to resistance, and the industrial capacity of the United States cannot meet the military needs, then it will be victorious.
Before World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union were the first and second countries in the world, but the shortcomings of the Soviet Union were too obvious: heavy industries related to military affairs were developed, while other industries were too average. And the level of the air force in the military industry should be behind Japan, Germany, Britain and the United States, as for the navy, it is even worse, after the Russo-Japanese War was destroyed by the two ocean-going fleets, there is no one who can fight, the only thing worth mentioning is that the Soviet Army, tanks, artillery and land forces are far more than the rest of the world!
The light and heavy industries of the United States are very developed, and the navy and air force are all first-class existences, but the army is so-so, after all, the geographical location is special. But the United States is a country that does not ban guns, almost every ** can drive, and there are millions of pilots, so it can be said that the training and growth of the army is not a problem at all.
Open the map, the border between the two countries is only separated by a Bering Strait, with an interval of 35-80 kilometers, basically the coastal defense artillery is swinging, and no one can cross the strait. Don't think about the torrent of ironclad in winter, the artillery fire is all pits....Therefore, the initial stage of the war was a stalemate stage, and the air forces and artillery of the two sides of the Bering Strait competed.
In the European direction, the United States would use ** to block all sea routes of the USSR and harass coastal cities ....With the mobilization of the American war machine, the rapid replenishment of aircraft and pilots grew, and the dumplings of aircraft carriers and battleships. The Soviet Union will gradually lose air supremacy, and then factories and oil fields will become a sea of fireBritain and the United States relied on non-stop bombing to turn Germany's industrial areas into ruins and directly broke Germany's legsThe Soviet Union will have only a torrent of ironclad and fall into the clutches of the United States....
In fact, Tsarist Russia's dream during the Soviet Union was to build an ice-free port in the East, and if Germany did not attack the Soviet Union, then it is conceivable that the Soviet Union would definitely wave its troops to the Northeast, drive Japan back to the Japanese island, and turn the Northeast (then Manchukuo) and the Korean Peninsula into a union republic. I don't know who will win the head-to-head between the United States and the Soviet Union. But I know that the Chinese People's Volunteers took the light **** and pushed the United States and its servant troops from the Yalu River across the 38th parallel without air and sea supremacy. It was only after crossing the 37th parallel that Stalin made up his mind to fully support China.
Although the war is a strong economic and military side with a high probability of victory, the Chinese people have also told the United States that it is not necessarily. The USSR had its own army in ruins, the economy was not good, industry was at a complete disadvantage, and science and technology were backward. All the family resources are concentrated in that place, and if they are occupied, they will stop cooking. But if the United States wants to occupy the whole Soviet Union, the price may be that in the end, the United States will also be finished, either itself will be dragged down, or Japan or Germany will steal its hometown, and the mass base of the CPSU is still very good at that time.
At that time, the industrial capacity of the United States was basically greater than that of the world, and it was not so much that Germany lost to the war as Germany lost to industry and population, and the United States was enough for both of them, but the United States would not say those cruel words at all costs, which made people feel that it was not so **, and the Soviet Union alone could not get the United States.
What about Afghanistan, what about Iraq, the conquest of a nation is not the end of killing everything. The United States is so awesome, why did the Korean campaign and the Vietnam campaign go back in disgrace. The national spirit of the Soviet Union is not comparable to that of the United States, and it may not be able to win completely against the United States alone.
The United States has little history. There is no national cohesion. The question of how many troops there was at the time of Germany's defeat was, in any respect, a confused account. If the standard is to be armed, then many active soldiers are not allocated ** (or only issued for self-defense**), and I am afraid that the number of troops at the time of war is not so much.
If you calculate it by the compilation table, it is a little more reliable, but in the later stage of the war, there was a lack of human resources, and the young and old people were all taken off, and it is difficult for these people to be counted as soldiers. Under the national mobilization system, troops of various names have emerged, not to mention **, I'm afraid there are no military uniforms, which can also be regarded as an army?When Germany was defeated, the national operating system had collapsed, and the supply system could not feed the German people at all, so it was absolutely possible for many people to pretend to be prisoners of war and go into prisoner of war camps to eat.
It can be seen that in terms of the number of prisoners of war, I am afraid there are also problems, not to mention those real soldiers who throw away their ** and take off their military uniforms and blend into the common people.
The year 1945 was a pivotal moment at the end of World War II. In May of that year, Nazi Germany announced its unconditional surrender, marking the end of World War II. Prior to this, the German army was one of the most powerful military forces in Europe, but as the war dragged on, the German army gradually weakened. When Nazi Germany announced its unconditional surrender in May 1945, the total strength of the German army was estimated to be in the millions.
While the exact number may vary from one size to another, the approximate number is within this range. Throughout the war, the German ** team had suffered huge losses, and as the war progressed, their equipment and supplies were also seriously affected. Despite this, the German ** team still maintained considerable combat effectiveness at the end of the war.
Before the unconditional surrender was announced, the German troops fought fiercely in many places and in some cases achieved favorable results. However, as the war progressed, the German ** team's combat effectiveness gradually weakened, which eventually led to their unconditional surrender.
The mobilization capacity of the agrarian and industrial countries is simply not in the same dimension. In the past, when the Qing Dynasty fought foreign devils, there were always people who thought that the Chinese relied on many people, and one person could drown foreigners with a mouthful of spit. In fact, the army of the Qing Dynasty has no advantage in terms of numbers compared with the great powers, and the Qing Dynasty even has about 800,000 people with the eight banners and green battalions, which are distributed over a vast territory of tens of millions of square kilometers, and those who can be concentrated are tens of thousands of people, so when the British and French forces attacked Beijing, tens of thousands of Seng Lingqin's tens of thousands of people were defeated, and Beijing was finished. Compared with the Qing Dynasty, there has been no progress in national strength, and it can even be said to be a regression.
* The steel output is not as good as that of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty relied on the Westernization Movement, and there was still a bit of a family background, the whole country was unified, and the financial resources could also be maintained. And the country is torn apart, and the only remaining bit of family wealth has also been destroyed, and it is an agricultural country within an agricultural country.
From ancient times to the present, the army has fought wars, and what they fought was logistics. An ancient soldier fought long distances, and even asked five people to transport food to him, and the materials consumed in modern warfare are even more astronomical, and logistics transportation must rely on trains and trucks, and most of the logistics rely on people to pull shoulders, and it is very good to have a carriage. Therefore, during the Anti-Japanese War, there were a large number of strong men, one for replenishing soldiers, and the other for logistical supply.
Therefore, with the best logistics support capability, let alone let him supply tens of millions of troops, even tens of millions of people, it will not be able to supply. Even if the transportation capacity keeps up, the industrial production capacity of ** is almost zero and can be ignored. The war materiel was aided mainly by the United States. Industrial countries like the Soviet Union, the United States, and Germany produced tanks in tens of thousands during World War II, and ** can't even produce machine guns, so soldiers can't be allowed to fight with wooden sticks, right?
There is also the question of the quality of the soldiers, the quality of the population in industrialized countries is very high, for example, farmers in the United States can drive tractors, and they can drive cars in a few days of training, and they can drive tanks in a few days of training.
And the illiteracy rate of ** is more than 95%, and ordinary soldiers can't even tell the difference between left and right. In the past, the warlords in Sichuan wanted to shout slogans and lined up but found that the soldiers couldn't distinguish between left and right, and finally had no choice, so they put on straw shoes on each soldier's left foot and cloth shoes on their right foot.
