A year after the Russian-Ukrainian war, the Russian army has stagnated in Ukraine, neither advancing nor retreating.
Everyone thought that Putin had run out of bullets, but they didn't know that he still had one last "trump card": the Cossack Legion.
The Cossacks are Putin's "trump card", stronger than Chechnya and have grace for Ukraine. Their participation may change the course of the war.
In the 13th century, a group of Eastern Europeans were oppressed by Tsarist Russia and migrated to the steppe to live a difficult life.
They were nimble-minded and strong-willed, surviving on the steppe. Because of their vast living environment, they are called "Cossacks", which means "freedom" in Russian.
The word "freedom" is a good expression of the unfettered and bold nature of the Cossacks.
In the 17th century, the Cossacks went to war with Tsarist Russia three times, maintaining their yearning for freedom with their blood and lives.
In the 20th century, the Cossacks fought against Stalin, but were soon conquered. After the surrender, Stalin tried to defend the Cossacks.
The Cossacks were so strong that if they could be used for their own purposes, they would be strengthened. Don't stay in the hatred of the past, if you want to achieve great things, you must look forward! ”
Subsequently, the Cossacks were taken under Stalin's command and became famous for defeating the Japanese and German armies in World War II.
After the collapse of the USSR, the Cossacks became Putin's trump card troops.
In 1999, when the Chechen War began, Putin uttered the famous phrase:
Forgiving the enemy is God's job, and our task is to ask God to come! ”
In the Chechen War, the Cossack regiment made great contributions to Putin's siege of the city, and while gaining Putin's trust, he also subdued Chechnya.
There are four main reasons why the Cossack regiment became Putin's "trump card".
First: military heritage.
Cossack ancestors lived in the steppes and battle-hardened.
The war gene helped the Cossacks to have good physical fitness and military literacy, they were born to fight, they were a real "fighting people".
During the Chechen war, 100 Cossack soldiers, surrounded by 2,500 Chechen fighters.
At the critical juncture, the Cossack soldiers not only did not beg for mercy, but on the contrary, they were high-spirited and launched a fierce attack on Chechnya.
The Cossacks swore to the death! ”
In this way, the Cossack "100 warriors", armed with submachine guns and rocket launchers on their shoulders, went to war with the Chechen army.
Da-da-da-da! Da-da-da-da! ”
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! ”
Bullets were fired in unison, and Chechen soldiers fell in rows. After the shells, the rubble fell on the Chechen soldiers, smashed so that they didn't know their own mothers.
A few hours later, the Cossack "100 warriors" repelled the Chechen regiment with great sacrifices, and the name of Russia was shocked.
When the news reached Putin's office, the most masculine ** of the 21st century, laughed heartily.
Cossacks are well done! It is worthy of being an example of a fighting nation. ”
This war, in which fewer won more, completely demoralized Chechnya. Everyone knows that Chechnya will fail only a matter of time.
In 2007, Kadyrov Jr. came to power, and Chechnya officially entered the pro-Russian era.
It has to be said that Russia was able to win the war in Chechnya, and the Cossacks were the first to do so.
Second: Excellent.
There were more than 20 kinds of Cossack regiments alone ** :
AK-74M "assault rifle, which can not only penetrate the Yang in 100 steps, but also fight at close range.
V-94 "Anti-materiel sniper rifle, after one shot, the armored vehicle was almost scrapped."
In addition to the excellent individual soldiers**, the Cossack regiment also had an armored lion:
T-90 "main battle tank, "Tornado" rocket launcher....
With such great firepower, the enemy's ground armament can be reduced to ashes in an instant. Cossack regiment, a veritable "Legion of the Reaper".
Third: the spirit of victory.
In the Russian-Ukrainian war, Chechnya actually has a bit of a lively feeling. Especially the Internet celebrity ** - little Kadyrov, gives people a feeling that it doesn't matter if they win or not by hyping up the war.
After all, Chechnya is a vassal state of Russia, and twenty years ago there were contradictions. Maybe the common people of Chechnya will be unhappy one day, kick little Kadyrov **, and change it to *** to become the second Ukraine.
Compared to Chechnya, the Cossacks worked much harder. They are a Russian nation, the masters of Russia, not a vassal country.
Cossacks grew up in war and had a natural desire for victory. When Ukrainian soldiers encounter Chechnya, they can still hope to survive, but when they encounter Cossack regiments, they can only ask for more blessings.
Fourth: get acquainted with Ukraine.
Historically, the Cossacks have been kind to Ukraine, fought in Ukraine many times, and are extremely familiar with the environment here.
As the saying goes, "only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated in a hundred battles".
Chechnya has been unable to attack Ukraine for a long time, partly because of its unfamiliarity with Ukraine.
Although Chechnya has participated in many wars, it has never been outside of Russia, and will only "go to the nest". This trip to Ukraine, Chechnya not only gained knowledge, but also learned a lesson.
Compared with Chechnya, the Cossacks are quite familiar with Ukraine, and they know all about the geography and customs.
Ukraine is not afraid of Chechnya, but must be afraid of the Cossacks.
Historically, the Cossacks have helped Ukraine fight invaders many times.
First Poland, then Turkey. The Cossacks used their lives and dignity to help Ukraine fight for living space.
In the 17th century, the Poles brutally oppressed Ukraine, and the common people of Ukraine were cattle and horses, without any human dignity.
Survivalally, the Ukrainians responded to the call and launched an uprising to overthrow the Poles.
For the sake of freedom, rush! ”
Drive out the Poles and retake our Ukraine! ”
At that time, Poland was powerful, and it was considered a big country in the world, and Ukraine was not taken seriously at all. After the start of the war, the Poles crushed Ukraine with devastating and decaying. At the critical moment, the Cossacks stepped forward.
Don't be afraid, dear Ukrainian friends, you still have Cossacks! ”
Down with the Poles and give Ukraine freedom! ”
The Cossacks did their best to help Ukraine, and although they did not defeat the Poles in the end, they greatly encouraged the confidence of the Ukrainians.
The Cossacks are kind to us, and without the Cossacks, there would be no Ukraine. ”
On the streets of Ukraine, when ordinary people talk about Cossacks, they will have tears in their eyes and be grateful.
Today, it is really embarrassing that a former friend has become an enemy, and I feel that war is ruthless.
The Cossack regiment is brave and good at fighting, and its courage is commendable, and it is worthy of Putin's last "trump card".
There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. "Historically, the Cossacks and Ukraine were like brothers, but today they meet each other because of their different positions, which is really amazing.
Finally, may the Russia-Ukraine war end as soon as possible and the world will be peaceful forever.
