On 21 March, the DPP authorities and the "Taiwan independence" elements on the island trembled again. According to the dynamic map of the sea and airspace around the Taiwan Strait released by Taiwan's defense department in the morning, from 6 a.m. on 20 March to 6 a.m. on 21 March, 32 PLA military aircraft and 5 warships continued to operate around the Taiwan Strait. Among them, 20 PLA military planes crossed the "center line of the strait," and a large armed drone sailed through the Bass Strait on a long voyage and circled to the east of Hualien, only 44 nautical miles away, which aroused great concern from the Taiwan military.
On the 19th, the Eastern Theater Joint Air Force and the Coast Guard conducted an all-weather combat training in the Taiwan Strait to support the normalization of law enforcement by the China Coast Guard. The simulated scenario is: a mainland coast guard ship is enforcing the law in the Taiwan Strait, and encounters an armed confrontation with the Taiwan Strait Patrol or the Taiwan military, which then causes a large-scale conflict. Previously, the Chinese Navy rarely dispatched a luxury lineup of 052D destroyers, 2 054A frigates, and 2 056 frigates to cooperate with a mainland coast guard ship for law enforcement.
The pertinence of this exercise is very obvious, and now the mainland coast guard is promoting the entire sea area of the Taiwan Strait, patrolling and protecting fisheries in all aspects, without forbidden areas or blind spots. At present, not only the 24 nautical miles of Taiwai Island and the main island, but even if it is 12 nautical miles and 3 nautical miles, the mainland's fishing boats and official ships are all in the same way. Do the ships of the Taiwan Strait Patrol dare to come out to stop it?
On the afternoon of the 19th, the maritime patrol ship "0807" of the Xiamen Maritime Safety Bureau passed through the northeast of Kinmen Island, and was only 0.2 nautical miles away from the northeast corner of Kinmen. The so-called 0.2 nautical miles is actually about 370 meters. If you are not afraid of running aground, you can go directly to the shore. And didn't the Taiwan Strait Patrol know about it? Didn't you see it? It's just that they admit that they don't dare to come out to intercept and drive them away.
If they dare, the large mainland coast guard ship that had been waiting for a long time would have rushed directly to enforce the law, and it was just right to detain the Taiwan Strait Patrol Company, which everyone was shouting about. If the Taiwan troops stationed in Kinmen are not convinced, they can also come out and start fighting, and everyone will fight against each other to see who is more powerful. There are more than 150 coast guard ships of more than 1,000 tons on the mainland, while there are only more than 10 coast guard ships on the Taiwan Strait. As for the comparison of naval strength between the two sides of the strait, it is even more needless to say. Our army's 2 052Ds can destroy them at any time.
Perhaps knowing that this time the mainland was going to move in earnest, the US and DPP authorities have relented and admitted to it. On March 20, Indo-Pacific Command Commander Aquilino and Assistant Secretary of Defense for Indo-Pacific Affairs Ratner jointly clarified at a congressional hearing: "The relevant reports about the 'U.S. military presence in Kinmen' are untrue, and the U.S. special forces are not stationed in Kinmen now." ”
On 21 March, Taiwan's "Ministry of National Defense" once again publicly confessed its instigation and urgently issued a statement to the outside world in the form of a press release, stressing that any "permanent presence of foreign troops on Taiwan or Taiwan Waidao is wrong information, and calls on all parties not to falsely do so." On 20 July, Li Dawei, chairman of the Taiwan Strait Exchange Foundation, openly referred to the two sides of the strait as "Taiwan Island" and "mainland China."
Previously, this statement had already been abandoned by Tsai Ing-wen and Lai Qingde, and it had become "not subordinate to each other" between the two sides of the strait. Li Dawei's previous remarks, if he had not been authorized by Cai Lai and the others, he would not have had the courage to say so. Although the DPP authorities have confessed their instigation, they still want to pursue "Taiwan independence" in their hearts, so they are frantically speeding up all kinds of war preparations on the island.
On 20 March, according to Zhuang Cuiyun, "finance minister" of the Taiwan authorities, the "central bank," the "Financial Supervisory Commission," and the "Ministry of Finance" all made "financial military pushes" last year. If a war breaks out between the two sides of the strait, the "Ministry of Finance" will increase the relevant taxes and fees in order to raise funds for war preparedness. Zhuang Cuiyun's statement was interpreted by the outside world to collect a "war tax". In this regard, Kuomintang "legislator" Wang Hongwei said: "Lai Qingde is about to take office, is the first thing Lai Qingde thinks of when he takes office is to collect war taxes from the people on the island?"
However, it is estimated that the DPP authorities will not have the opportunity to collect the "war tax." Therefore, as long as a war breaks out in the Taiwan Strait, it will be over in three days at the earliest, and seven days at the latest. Under the blows of the mainland's absolute superior firepower and the absolute suppression of electronic warfare and electromagnetic suppression, Taiwan's armed forces and weapons and equipment have basically been completely lost. The island's economy collapsed, and communications, electricity, transportation, Internet, water supply, and gas were all disrupted. Diehard "Taiwan independence" activists such as Tsai Ing-wen and Lai Qingde will basically be "eliminated" within 10 minutes of the start of the war.
