The situation in the Soviet Union and Japan is completely different, and to say that the Navy is to compare the weakest shortcomings of the Soviet Union with the strongest points of Japan. The Territory of the Soviet Union was unusually large, and it was located in the northernmost part of Eurasia, and the long coastal line in the air broke the heart for having an immovable port. Look at the Map of the Soviet Union, his longest coastline is against the Arctic Ocean, every year is mostly frozen state, the extreme area has been deep in the permafrost zone, and then look at the Soviet Union's territory is mostly Asia, the core area is Europe, so the Soviet Union is a traditional European country, facing Europe, the Soviet Union's complex coastline is restricted by terrain outside the real ocean, which is the second pain of the Soviet Navy: the sea!
From the beginning of the Tsarist era, the Baltic Sea, which is closest to its own industrial center, has been the place where the world's strongest naval storms have been in ancient times, from the Vikings who ravaged Europe in ancient times, to the Netherlands and Britain, the naval powers of the classical sailing era, and then to Germany of the modern navy, including the regional naval powers Finland and Sweden from beginning to end, and as a result, until the most powerful era of the Soviet Union, they all did not hope that they could emerge here, and turned the main battlefield to the Black Sea, in fact, the Black Sea in addition to having a non-freezing port, the state is more serious than the Baltic Sea, Whether it was Tsarist Russia or the Soviet Union.
Then to today's Russia, in this direction even the first blockade of The British-backed Turkey has never been broken, and after the breakthrough in this direction, there is a second blockade in the Greek Aegean Sea, the third blockade in the Great Mediterranean, all broken through to really enter the sea, the most tragic thing is that in this direction, even if the fleet protrudes, there is also the risk of being sealed and unable to return home, that is, it cannot break through the Mediterranean Sea and cannot go back to the Black Sea, can you imagine what a scene it will be?
Then there is the Far East Vladivostok, that is, Vladivostok, the navy to develop the first to develop the large industry behind, but the Soviet Union to the Far East Vladivostok to build a large industry, first over the Eurasian boundary of the Ural Mountains, then the ancient Russians in the eyes of the remote old Far East, then across the remote to Stalin period and exiled prisoners in Siberia, and finally across the entire New Far East, Tsarist Russia has done the most correct thing, It was probably then that a railway linking Vladivostok was built.
In "How Steel is Made", Paul is described as the most arduous and almost fatal, that is, rushing to collect winter fuel for the city, organizing a large-scale logging team, where is such a difficult area? Well, in fact, it is not far away, the westernmost part of the old Far East close to the city, has not yet officially entered the old Far East. Later, when the Soviet Union was strong, it finally reluctantly built a city such as Komsomolsk in the Far East, but there was still a long way to go before building a Ukrainian shipyard in Vladivostok.
So in the 1980s, the Soviets were brainwashed and ran to fight Afghanistan, in order to play the next big game of chess to open the sea to the south to the Indian Ocean! In this way, not to mention World War II, the soviet union's strongest period, failed to solve the problem it faced: the long coastline but could not be permanently protected by the troop ships, there was no decent sea exit in several directions, and no port could concentrate on developing a large navy covering the whole country!
So just a dozen years before World War II, the Soviet Union established a heavy industry system and a continental army that shocked the world, which has made people jaw-dropping, and if they want to build a big navy, it will not be a god-like country? What else was World War II fought? Isn't it fragrant for everyone to honestly plant the red flag themselves?
As for Japan, the territory is small, the strength is concentrated, since the Meiji Restoration, it has concentrated on building a navy, almost all of them have taken detours, and by World War II, the Soviet Union's navy, which was cut to pieces by the terrain, was only 100,000 tons, and Japan's Yamato was 70,000 or 80,000 tons, how to fight?
