Perhaps the original owner of this body had been born and raised as the emperor, the one and only powerful man, and naively believed that both the army and the people would swear unconditional loyalty to him. But in the end, he was betrayed by both, and paid the price with the lives of himself and his family.
(But I will not commit such a foolish act.)
The Soviet Union, which succeeded the Russian Empire, learned this lesson well.
The same was true in the Soviet Union: its most famous secret police chief, Beria, was Georgian, its founder, Dzerzhinsky, was Polish, and it was a corps of Central Asians that crushed the mutinous Russian sailors at the naval base of Kronstadt.
"As of today, the Cossacks serving in the military have been transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Empire.
Police Department Security Bureau" Okhrana", You will be the official unit of the Russian Internal Troops. As the nation's shield, you will be in charge of maintaining public order within the country and guarding major bases."
Cavalry is often thought to have become useless after World War I, but it was simply because they were not suited to attacking positions on the Western Front, which was characterized by trench warfare.However, they proved to be quite effective on the vast battlefields of the Eastern Front, as well as in the Russian Civil War and the Soviet-Polish War, making use of their high mobility.
(High-performance tanks capable of mobile warfare can be made later. First, it is necessary to establish the know-how to operate them and create an organization to carry them out...and cavalry is the best for that.)
As Stalin ordered Kornilov to stand down, he was running through several simulations of preparations for the coming war.
Fortunately, he had the overwhelming advantage of knowing the future. There was no reason not to use it. Stalin's ambition was to use information that his contemporaries could not know to make Russia the world's number one superpower.
Cossack soldiers are an essential part of Russian military history. Since it was impossible to create a large-scale mechanized unit all at once, the first step was to create a unit that was capable of mobile warfare, centered around Cossack cavalry.
