The DPP authorities are doing their best to promote the deployment of missiles, is this a showdown with the mainland? At the critical moment, PLA helicopter gunships appeared in the Taiwan Strait. In response to this situation, the retired general of the Taiwan military told the truth, what is the specific content?
According to a report by Taiwan's media "China Times News Network," Lai Qingde was ready to have a showdown with the mainland before he took office, not only appointing Gu Lixiong, a diehard "Taiwan independence" element, as the person in charge of Taiwan's "defense department," stepping up efforts to promote the Taiwan military as a tool for "Taiwan independence," but also expanding the deployment of shore-based missiles. According to the plan of the DPP authorities, they will expand the Taiwan military's "Haifeng Missile Brigade" into four strike groups and deploy more than 1,000 anti-ship missiles in the coastal areas of Taiwan Island in four years. Lai Ching-te is also preparing to set up a "coastal operations command" to expand the "coastal defense scope" of the Taiwan military.
Lai Qingde's move has puzzled people on the island, including high-ranking members of the Taiwan military. Huang Shuguang, the convener of the "submarine Taiwan-building" project, resigned from the DPP authorities on the grounds of "lawsuits." However, Huang Yangming, a media person on the island, revealed that Huang Shuguang could not do it anymore because Lai Qingde asked him to build seven submarines in one go to promote the development of the Taiwan military's "offensive strategy." Huang Shuguang said that the strength of the Taiwan military is not strong, and there is only one way to "defend strategy." However, Lai Qingde does not seem to care about this situation at all, and has gone all out to promote the development of shore-based missiles, submarines, and other offensive weapons by the Taiwan military, and has also spent a lot of money to build a large amphibious landing ship "Yushan." Therefore, Huang Shuguang had a serious disagreement with Taiwan's "naval commander" Tang Hua, who was trusted by Lai Qingde, and decided to resign and leave.
Some analysts believe that it is obvious that Lai Qingde is determined to "seek independence by force," and there are two main reasons why he has done so: First, Lai Qingde wants to increase the cost of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) to acquire Taiwan by enhancing "Taiwan's defense capability"; second, Zhang Yuxuan, a media person on the island, revealed that the United States will take the lead in Taiwan's "submarine manufacturing project." At the same time, Tang Hua has already set off for the United States to attend a US military conference on the "first island chain" strategy. Judging from these circumstances, it is very likely that the DPP authorities are pushing the Taiwan military to develop an "offensive strategy" and that it is the intention of the United States.
However, after Taiwan media revealed that Lai Qingde promoted the "offensive strategy" of the Taiwan army, less than 24 hours later, the People's Liberation Army Wuzhi appeared in the Taiwan Strait. According to a report by Taiwan's "defense department," the area where the PLA helicopter gunships arrived this time was only 27 nautical miles away from Taitung. However, Zhang Yanting, former "deputy commander of the Air Force" and "retired lieutenant general" of the Taiwan military, pointed out that the People's Liberation Army (PLA) is 27 nautical miles away from Taitung, which means that it is only 13 nautical miles away from Taitung's Green Island, which is very close to the so-called "12 nautical mile line." Zhang Yanting also told the truth, saying that Taiwan Island is now "a frog boiled in warm water, and now the water temperature has reached 70 to 80 degrees", so the DPP authorities have become accustomed to it. When the mainland does take action, the Taiwan military is completely defenseless.
Of course, the real target of the mainland is not Taiwan, but the US military in the Asia-Pacific region. Earlier, the PLA Shandong aircraft carrier quietly left its home port. Li Zhengjie, a retired general of the Taiwan military, said in an analysis that the mainland's aircraft carrier is likely to be on the east side of Taiwan Island to deal with joint military exercises by the United States, Japan, and South Korea in the East China Sea. The helicopter gunships that appeared in the waters on the east side of Taiwan Island should be subordinate to the Shandong aircraft carrier battle group. At the same time, according to a report by the US "Navy Times" website, satellite photos show that the Fujian, another aircraft carrier on the mainland, has basically completed deck work, and a number of carrier-based aircraft have already been put on board, and it is very likely that the first sea trial will be conducted. It can be seen that the People's Liberation Army (PLA) is very close to entering the "three-aircraft carrier era," and it is even more difficult for foreign forces to intervene in the situation in the Taiwan Strait by military means.
