Is winter in Russia a bug in the history of war?

That's it. If you want to conquer Russia, you must conquer the weather in Russia. Russia is the coldest place in the world in winter. Except those who have lived here for generations, others are generally uninhabitable. For example, under normal circumstances, the average temperature in Moscow, the capital of Russia, in January is around MINUS 20℃, which is still the capital area, and the temperature in other areas is even more unacceptable.

Why do you say "Russian winter is a bug in the history of war?" There are two main reasons:

First, Russia has a vast territory and a deep strategy, and the temperature in winter is too low.

If you want to occupy Russia, it's only daydreaming. Because Russia has a territory of 6.5438+0.7 million square kilometers, this is almost unimaginable. It takes a week at the earliest to travel from the easternmost part of Russia to the westernmost part by train. If you send troops to occupy Russia, how many troops will be enough! It is precisely because of this strategic depth that whoever conquers Russia should clap his head and think about it. Napoleon of France, a famous figure in the history of war, once conquered a large continent in Europe.

Finally, he led 600,000 troops to conquer Russia ambitiously, and the Russians gradually dragged them into the winter and burned them directly in Moscow. In this way, at the same time, 600,000 troops broke into the vast world of ice and snow like headless flies. There is no food anywhere, and there is no clean water. Faced with the cold of tens of degrees below zero, the soldiers fell down every day. There are harassment and slashing in the dream, like the rising wind of the Russian Cossack. When he withdrew from Russia and returned to France, there were less than 20,000 people left in the 600,000 army. What a terrible war experience!

Second, the Russians do not admit defeat and are the representatives of tough guys.

During World War II, Germany launched a war against the Soviet Union. When they occupied a large area of Soviet territory, they could not fight in Stalingrad. The reason is still strange weather. Although there are modern weapons such as cars, cannons and submachine guns, they are in the cold of tens of degrees below zero. These weapons are basically slag, so the bolt can't be pulled open and the car can't be driven. In the cold weather, many people who are incontinent because of the soldiers' cold, but once they pee their pants, they will freeze instantly, and soon someone will ask for their names.

For the Russian people who have adapted to the cold, they pull sledges and coats, come and go like flies, surround the invaders and turn them into rabbits. In the absence of strategic materials, Germany is useless despite the first-class quality of its soldiers. Soon fell into strategic stalemate and failure, and was finally run over by the heroic Soviet Red Army.
