The country is in trouble to think of good generals, and the times are difficult to think of loyal ministers. War is a competition of comprehensive national strength and a competition of strategic and combat command capabilities. The Russian-Ukraine war has been fighting for eight or nine months, and what we see is Russia Putin frequently changing players. Although doing this shows that Putin has a strong control over Russia, it is also necessary to see that changing generals at the last stage is a taboo in military strategists and a helpless move that lacks good generals of the country. From this we think of historical generals like Su Yu and Zhukov . They dare to "defend and show their courage", dare to wear strong and hold on to the sharp edge, and dare to kill all directions. At present, does Putin have such a famous general?
(I)
Let’s first look at Su Yu’s example.
After the full start of the Liberation War in June 1946, Su Yu "darely stated" that he would fight in the inside first in response to the external combat policy formulated by the Central Military Commission. Finally, the Central Military Commission agreed with Su Yu's strategic proposal. Through the practice of winning seven battles and seven victory, Su Yu proved that in the early stage of the war, the fact that the enemy is strong and we are weak, the inside battle is more in line with the characteristics and laws of the war. This also played a huge practical role in promoting the Central Military Commission's final adjustment of the external combat policy in the early stages of the war to the internal combat policy.
In April 1948, when the war entered a critical stage of strategic offensive, in response to the Central Military Commission's request that Su Yu lead three columns across the river and perform large mobile combat missions in Jiangnan, Su Yu "dare to speak out" and suggested that the three columns ended in the river for the time being and fought a big battle in Jiangbei . The Central Military Commission agreed with Su Yu's strategic proposal. Through the victory practice of in the Eastern Henan Battle, Su Yu proved that there is indeed a big battle to fight in Jiangbei. This also conceived the initial blueprint for the later Jinan Battle and Huaihai Battle.
Let’s take a look at Zhukov’s example again.
Soviet Patriotic War In the early days, facing the powerful offensive of the German army, facing the issue of war or retreating against Ukraine, Zhukov, as the chief of staff of the Soviet army, fought very hard with Stalin . Stalin did not listen to Zhukov's "daring statement", and as a result, the battle of Kiev led to the miserable defeat of 600,000 Soviet troops being captured. Finally, when Stalin found out that Zhukov was right, he was able to admit his mistakes, recall Zhukov, who had been dismissed, and reuse it. Later we saw that whether it was the Battle of Moscow or the Battle of Stalingrad , no matter which strategic direction it was, Zhukov was treated as the "fire brigade leader" of the Soviet Union and sent to the most critical and most needed places, making great contributions to the great victory of the entire Soviet Patriotic War.
It seems that a war always requires people like Su Yu and Zhukov. The war forged these famous generals and commanders, and in turn, these famous generals and commanders added rich colors and infinite charm to the art of war command.

Putin has been the president of Russia for twenty years, and his political and strategic capabilities and ability to control the situation are beyond doubt. Although he is a politician and a strategist, he is at least not a professional soldier. Therefore, in commanding the Russian-Ukrainian war, in addition to the strategic guidance level of the commander-in-chief, it is crucial to take charge of the generals who will take charge of the front-line war. This is just like when Russia faced the French Napoleon army in history, Alexander I needed Kutuzov , Stalin needed Zhukov during the Soviet Patriotic War, and the great men of our army needed Lin Biao and Su Yu during the War of Liberation. No matter how powerful the commander is, he needs a great future who can conquer and fight to support and implement the strategic decisions and intentions of the commander through a series of battle victory.
However, what we see is that the war in Russia and Ukraine has been dragging on and on, and there is no end yet. Putin's frequent changes of generals at least shows that the few senior generals he has activated have not withstand the long-term practical test of war and have not won quickly and the whole process. Of course, we have never heard of any senior front-line general who made a statement to Putin like Su Yu and Zhukov to "boldly make a fuss" to influence Putin's strategic decisions and deployments and to correct the possible blind spots or shortcomings of Putin's strategic command.
The Russian-Ukraine war lasted for so long. Obviously, Russia urgently called on generals like Su Yu and Zhukov to "defend directly" and come and offer wonderful strategies to launch surprise troops. However, is Russia nowadays so handsome?
(III)
Everyone knows that Russia is a fighting nation, and there have always been many famous generals in the fighting nation. Not to mention the Soviet Union's world-class famous generals like Zhukov, Huasilevsky , Sokolovsky , and Sokolovsky in the last century. Not to mention the achievements of the invasion of Czech and Slovak , and Afghan in the last century, not to mention the fact that it was able to sweep the winds when attacking the Syrian anti-government forces in the past few years. Has Russia really reached the point where the country was in trouble? Has it really reached the point where the tactics and fighting a high-tech war were a bit difficult and difficult?
Maybe our worries are redundant. After all, from history to reality, from military theory to military practice, Russia is among the few nations in the world. You should know that its nuclear arsenal that is enough to destroy the entire world is placed there, its military force is still among the top in the world, and its successful practices of many local wars are placed there. When it comes to Russia's war heritage and thickness, there is never a lack of this point.
I don’t know what would happen to him in the previous stage, General Su Luoweijin, the commander-in-chief of the Aerospace Army, the newly appointed commander-in-chief of Putin. As soon as this general came into battle, through his words and actions, we can at least see that he has made some new improvements, new changes and new formations in his playing style and behavior. As for what will develop in the later stage, as for whether it will truly win in his hands, and whether the war will end in his hands, it is still unknown at the moment. We will wait and see.
