Heroes have emerged in troubled times. Many heroic generals and heroes have emerged from ancient times, both at home and abroad. With their own abilities, they have made a fortune.
and there are three people in and . Ambition and strength coexist, and they are even expected to be able to travel all over the world and become legendary heroes who unified the world. Who are they?
First place Genghis Khan
"Deep and rough, use troops like a god"
A generation of geniuses Genghis Khan, to this day, is still in the topic. Whenever we mention Genghis Khan , we can't help but admire and admire for the vast territory he has traveled to the Eurasian continent. is even called "the world's number one conqueror" by the world.
Genghis Khan ( Borjijin Temujin ) , Great Mongolian Khan , fight for life and hangs across the battlefield.
unify Mongolia, attack Jin, conquer Western Liao, expeditions to East Asia, and western Eastern Europe until they lead Mongolian cavalry across the Eurasian continent.
In this process, more than 40 countries were eliminated and more than 720 ethnic groups were defeated. During its heyday, the territory of Mongolian Empire was once expanded to 33 million square kilometers (some say it exceeds 45 million square kilometers) .
45 million square kilometers What is the concept? It is as much as four times the territory of China today, leading the Mongol Empire to become the most vast country in the world at that time, with unlimited glory.
reaches the Pacific Ocean in the east, to the west, to the Poland , Hungary, to the north, to the Siberian region, and to the Indochina Peninsula in Java in the south.
During the process of Genghis Khan's Mongolian cavalry, they continued to absorb surrendered troops, which continuously expanded the number of Mongolian troops.
It is reported that Genghis Khan initially launched hundreds of thousands of troops, but after the battle, the number of Genghis Khan's Western Expedition Army had expanded to .6 million . Even if some people are skeptical about the data of "600,000 people", it is certain that the Mongolian troops led by Genghis Khan have indeed increased significantly.
Even after 7 expedition to the west , he was already 64 years old and still insisted on going south personally to destroy Xixia . In the end, he was still unable to resist the illness and died at Liupanshan .
Genghis Khan's death also makes us sigh. If God borrowed him for another ten or twenty years, would he really be expected to unify the world?
second Napoleon
"If I weren't Napoleon today, I would like to be Alexander".
This sentence alone is enough to express Napoleon's ideals and ambitions. Napoleon Bonaparte , is the founder of The First Empire of France , a legendary hero who once dominated Europe by .
Napoleon has been on the battlefield for 12 years and has commanded more than 60 large-scale battles with , and won more than 50 . During this period, he participated in countless small battles.
Since 1796, Napoleon, who was only 26 years old, showed his strength, and later around 1810, he developed the First French Empire to a peak period.
During this period, Napoleon almost swept across Europe , from Italian Battle , the naval battle between Britain and France, to the seven wars with the anti-French alliance .
Therefore, Napoleon was also known as Europe's "king of war" , and the territory he conquered reached about .72 million square miles , including Netherlands , Switzerland , Belgium , Spain and other countries.
In addition to European countries, Napoleon also extended his hand to Africa and expeditioned to Egypt , so he also had his classic saying:
"Soldiers! Watching you on the pyramids for forty centuries!"
After winning the pyramid battle, Napoleon went straight to Cairo , and made Mamluk and the Ottomans frightened him. However, Napoleon failed to conquer Aker Castle (located in Syria ), which became a great regret for in his life.
After winning sequential victories in Europe, Napoleon seemed to be blinded by victory. Although his early wars were all just wars, his later wars almost all belonged to unjust wars of aggression .
And his continuous invasion and expansion finally aroused the resistance of the local people.
The conflict between France and Russia has been around for a long time. For Napoleon at that time, if he could defeat Russia's strong rival, then his grand goal of dominating the entire Europe would be just around the corner.
So, in 1812, Napoleon decided to dispatch .6 million troops to , and launched a war of aggression against Russia. And his blind arrogance also doomed his failure. The time was not right, and the French army, which was not prepared, was greatly damaged in the battle with Russia's .
But this French pride failed to write his brilliant legend in the end, and after the defeat of Waterloo, he was in a slump.
But if Napoleon could take Russia, history might have been completely rewritten, but history has no if, and history will never come back.
third place Hitler
Adolf Hitler , The head of the German Third Reich , and is also the initiator of World War II . For this reason, Hitler himself has also been controversial.
Speaking of which, Hitler actually had some similarities with Napoleon in politics and military terms, or Hitler's goal was Napoleon-like.
Under the rule of Germanic , a third empire was established in Europe, and Hitler almost spent his life "struggle" for his fanatical goal.
If you are just an ordinary person, Hitler was a talented person who did not touch the body of tobacco and alcohol, loved art (especially loved painting), and loved reading.
However, out of a so-called "patriotic" heart, he became a head of state. After becoming the head of state of the Third Reich, he became out of control and was about to shape himself into a generation of "The West is Unbeaten" .
From 1933 to 1942, under his leadership, the Third Reich conquered the largest territory, reached 91.37 million square miles, and almost covered the entire European continent.
east to the Soviet Union, west to France, north to Norway, south to north Africa .
Who would have thought that the arrogant France under Napoleon was only beaten in front of Hitler.
But injustice will eventually attract people from all over the world to resist and hate them. No matter how elite or powerful the German army is, it will still be hard to defeat four hands with two fists.
finally lost to the hands of the Soviets after sweeping across Western Europe. Hitler and his Third German Empire were destroyed.
