There are many right-hand men around Putin, Medvedev is one of them, and some people have compared Medvedev to Putin's "left arm", which shows its importance to Putin.
However, in addition to Medvedev, Putin also has an indispensable "heavy minister" around him, this man can be called Putin's "right fist", he is the longest-serving iron defense minister in Russian history, but he has never been a soldier, his style is even harder than Putin, and Yeltsin and Putin trust him very much.
After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict some time ago, it was under his leadership that the Russian army took only 1 hour and 22 minutes to break into Kiev, the capital of Ukraine.
When the German defense minister said that he would use nuclear deterrence against Russia if necessary, the man directly rebuked the German defense minister on the spot: "Go back and ask your ancestors what will happen if we provoke us." ”
When Japan took military action against Russia, the man once again responded domineeringly: "If you dare, erase you from the map." ”
So who is this Russian defense minister who is so hard-line? How did he command Russia's million-strong army?
Shoigu
The man we are talking about above is the current Russian defense minister, Shoigu, who is different from traditional Russians, he was born in the Tuva Autonomous Oblast during the Soviet period, which originally belonged to the territory of the Qing Dynasty on the mainland, so judging from this aspect, Shoigu's ancestral home is likely to be in China.
He has the yellow skin and black hair of the Orientals, which is very different from the native Russians, although Shoigu is now the Minister of Defense of Russia, but it is surprising that Shoigu has never systematically learned military knowledge.
In 1977, at the age of 22, Shoigu graduated from the Faculty of Architecture of the Faculty of Engineering "Krasnoyarsk". However, although Shoigu's work at that time was not linked to politics at all, but at that time the Soviet Union was in the wave of Brezhnev reform, coupled with the delicate relations between the United States and the Soviet Union at that time, most of the adult men in the Soviet Union could be recruited at any time, it is in this special historical background, in the construction industry has made great achievements in Shao Yigu unexpectedly entered the government work, and has been the secretary of a city of the CPSU for a year.
Then, in 1991, Shao Yigu ushered in the first great turning point in his life. At that time, the Soviet Union set up a rescue team, and Shoigu was successfully elected as the leader of the rescue team. In the same year, the famous 8.19 incident occurred in the Soviet Union, and Yeltsin was in a rather critical situation at that time, which can be said to be difficult.
In December, the Soviet Union collapsed on the verge of disintegration, and Shoigu's department happened to be an institution serving the president. In this way, the chaotic Russia made Yeltsin physically and mentally exhausted, but Shoigu stood firmly by Yeltsin's side, and many people believed that Shoigu was able to gain a firm foothold in the chaotic Russian political arena at that time because he followed the right people. But in fact, following the right person is the first step, and more importantly, Shoigu's diligent and down-to-earth work attitude has attracted Yeltsin's attention.
Shoigu has always worked hard in his position, which makes it hard for him not to notice. More importantly, Shoigu has been well received in the industry, which is enough to prove that he is capable and morally good.
It was he who stood firmly by Yeltsin's side, which created the basis for his future entry into the Russian hierarchy.
After the events of August 19, Shoigu's political stature soared.
By 1993, Shoigu, who had never been a soldier, had been awarded the rank of major general by Russia. Prior to his promotion, Shoigu was a reservist captain, and his promotion did not follow the normal promotion procedure in Russia at the time, which was unique in the Russian military.
Then in 1994, Shoigu became Minister of Emergency in Russia. This department is quite important in Russia, and Shoigu has been in charge for eight years.
During this time, Shoigu helped Yeltsin run for president and was subsequently awarded the rank of general. The promotion was not unexpected, as Yeltsin wanted Shoigu to solve the problem of the Chechen unrest for him.
In 1999, Yeltsin ceded power in Russia to Putin and launched the Second Chechen War to purge the local evil forces.
At this time, Shoigu fully supported Putin's attack on Chechnya, and while Shoigu supported Putin, he also formed a campaign called the "Unification Movement Campaign Alliance." ”
The second Chechen war can be said to be quite important to Putin, when the Western countries were extremely opposed, and there were many forces within Russia to obstruct it. If Putin wins the war, he will be the next leader, and if he loses, Putin runs the risk of being replaced.
However, the reality proved that Shoigu once again chose the right person, and Putin successfully won the second Chechen war. After Yeltsin resigned, Putin became interim president.
In 2000, when Putin ran for office, Shoigu firmly carried out Yeltsin's orders and single-mindedly assisted Putin. The "Unification Movement Alliance" formed by Shoigu at that time was very powerful, with 25% support in the "Russian Duma", which contributed greatly to Putin's campaign.
In the end, Putin was successfully elected as russia's third president.
Later, in recognition of Shoigu's help to himself, Putin promoted Shoigu to the rank of great general in the second year of his presidency. In the third year, he was appointed governor of the Moscow region.
In 2012, Former Russian Defense Minister Serdyukov was removed from his post for investigation over corruption. At that time, Russia's reform was in a transitional period, and Russian politics urgently needed a capable person to take power. After much deliberation, Putin finally decided to make Shoigu defense minister.
At this point, this former architect has become a prominent figure in Russian politics. Since he came to power, he has begun to vigorously reorganize the Russian army.
In 2013, corruption within the Russian military was so serious that failure to rectify it would jeopardize national security.
At this time, however, Shoigu believed that the root cause of the army's corruption was too commercial. Because at that time, the production of Russian military equipment was based on competitive bidding, which made those who tried to misbehave profitable, and the army was full of kickbacks.
Therefore, in view of such a serious problem, Shoigu directly changed the bidding system to a full-responsibility system, and the military industry and commerce were responsible for the whole process from weapons research and development to weapon scrap disposal, which greatly reduced the situation of government officials eating kickbacks.
Since then, the atmosphere of the Russian army has been renewed. Since then, in order to consolidate the morale of the army, Shoigu has ordered the treatment of soldiers to be improved, and has conducted many military exercises. This reform completely aroused the bloodiness of the Russian officer, and because of the effectiveness of Shoigu's various reforms, his prestige in the army was getting higher and higher.
Since then, Shoigu has been like Russia's "needle of the sea god".
In addition to having a hand in internal reform, Shoigu's political diplomacy has also caused headaches for Western countries.
In 2018, Germany's foreign minister suffered at the hands of Shoigu. At that time, Shoigu was wholeheartedly reforming the Russian army, and the German foreign minister noticed and provoked: "If you continue to expand the army, NATO will take the necessary military measures to restrain it, and Then Germany will definitely charge for this." ”
In addition, the German minister also mentioned nuclear deterrence to some extent, which can be said to be quite radical. But if the German minister knew Shoigu's style of doing things, I believe he would not have said such a thing.
Later, when these words reached Shoigu's ears, he did not show much irritation, but instead said domineeringly in the subsequent press conference: "Go back and ask your grandfather what happened to anger Russia." ”
Such a strong response made the German minister never dare to speak again.
Also in October 2021, NATO launched a military program to deter Russia. Supporters of the plan include The German Defense Minister, Kram.
The person is very radical, she said publicly: "If Russia and NATO clash in the Baltic and Black Sea regions, NATO does not rule out the use of any unconventional means of warfare." ”
In fact, the West has been provoking Russia for many years, and Shoigu has long been accustomed to this, but the German defense minister actually used nuclear weapons to deter Russia.
Since then, Shoigu has commented on Kramp: "She is like a rebellious adolescent girl, pretending to be the daughter of the principal to do whatever she wants, but she does not seem to understand now that Russia and Germany are two "schools", and your father who is the headmaster is not qualified to run Russia." ”
Kramp
From this passage, we can hear that Shoigu's words are full of mockery and disdain.
As soon as these words came out, the German high-level was once again dumbfounded, which showed The Iron Blood and Toughness of Shoigu. In addition to angering NATO countries, Shoigu also angered Japan.
At that time, Japan, a small country with a small projectile, repeatedly provoked Russia militarily over territorial issues. In this regard, Shoigu could not look into the eyes at all, and he replied domineeringly: "If Japan dares to be tough, Russia will erase Japan from the map." ”
In addition to Germany and Japan, Shoigu has also angered many Western countries such as the United States.
Throughout Shoigu's life, his toughness and domineering are what Russia needs, and he deserves to be Russia's "needle in the sea." "He has devoted his life to building the country as his highest faith, and such a person will feel strange if he is not loved by the people of his country."
