When you hear the word "strong country", do many people have the names of many countries in their minds? Did you think of the Soviet Union? In World War II, the Soviet Union and the United States were the two most important countries, and after the war, these two countries became superpowers. So the Soviet Union is actually a great power, but for this title, the Soviet Union is saddled with a lot of controversy. What is the reason why the Soviet Union is on the cusp of the storm and has been receiving too much attention from everyone?
There are two main aspects. The first aspect is that the establishment of the Soviet Union means the birth of the world's first socialist state, and everyone knows that the Western countries have established a capitalist society, which means that they will become the opposite of the Western powers, which will also bring the historical process into a new situation, which is an affirmation of the Soviet Union. But the second aspect would have put pressure on a small number of countries, which was why the Soviet Union was criticized. The Soviet Union once implemented a strategy, that is, a "global strategy", not only that, but also advocated power politics and hegemonism, which was very unfair to the weaker countries at that time, but they had no way to resist. Therefore, the Soviet Union at that time was always on the cusp of the storm, and the Soviet Union did not have a direct conflict with the United States during the Cold War. So how powerful was the Soviet Union at its peak? I believe everyone is curious.
In fact, during the Cold War, the Soviet Union and the United States were very powerful and had their own advantages, so in the long-term confrontation, sometimes the United States won, and sometimes the Soviet Union won. Although the economy and industry of the Soviet Union were inferior to those of the United States, the Soviet Union had a very strong military force, which was also the most confident side of the Soviet Union in the struggle for hegemony. The Soviet Union's nuclear and conventional weapons were much larger than those of the United States, and their military strength was very sufficient. Taking 1988 as an example, the Army of 1.99 million, divided into 16 military regions; the Navy of 415,000, divided into 4 fleets and a regional fleet; the Air Force of about 450,000, of which the MiG was more advanced at 29 hours; the Air Defense Force, with a number of 635,000; the Strategic Rocket Force, which was in charge of the Soviet nuclear arsenal, was a strategic unit of the Soviet Union; at that time, the Soviet Union had 55,200 main battle tanks, while the United States only had 11,920. These figures are enough to frighten NATO countries, because NATO countries rarely have equally powerful weapons to compete with the Soviet Union. Moreover, the Soviet Union's overall nuclear weapons capabilities have been able to compete with the United States, and even surpass the United States, which has dealt the United States a heavy blow.
The United States also began to worry, fearing that the Soviet Union would one day become the world's number one. More learned people in Western countries are still speculating: "If the Soviet Army is further improved and the system is more complete, after the outbreak of war, the Soviet Union uses nuclear weapons, and a little power can turn the human world into a hell on earth." "Therefore, the severity of the Soviet Union at that time, in addition to making NATO countries frightened, also put Western countries in a state of worry."
Therefore, the Western countries will come up with various methods to defeat the Soviet Union, so they will take advantage of the relatively developed economy to defeat the Soviet Union. In the period of the Third Industrial Revolution, Japan developed a new game - "Green Corps", many people may know how to play this game, this game is based on the United States as the protagonist, the enemy is the Soviet Union, this is the process of constantly attacking the Soviet army, until sneaking into the enemy's military base, destroying the nuclear weapons, and finally winning. So when this game was released in the United States, the Americans directly renamed the game "Quick Attack and Assassination", in American English, "Fast Attack" and "Russian" are harmonic, so this game can also be called "Kill Russians", then when the Americans play this game, that is a big pleasure, every time you play a game, your heart will be much more comfortable, because you will feel that you have "defeated" the Soviet Union.
During the Cold War, the United States racked its brains to defeat the Soviet Union and came up with ways to make itself more comfortable. If it were you, would you release yourself from your hatred in this way?
