Let's talk about the deployment of the "Typhon" intermediate-range missile by the United States in the Philippines, because this matter is too big to be numb any longer.
Two days ago, during the US-Philippine military exercise, the United States deployed the "Typhon" system to the Philippines and talked about how we should respond. But we found that the "Typhon" system was not as simple as we imagined, and the way we responded to it was by no means that simple.
Why should we pay attention to the "Typhon" system?
Regarding the "Typhon" system, this is an American medium-range missile system with a range of up to more than 1800 km, with Tomahawk cruise missiles. The "Typhon" delivered by the United States to the Philippines by transport planes is not excluded from being deployed in the Philippines. If it is deployed, it will be equivalent to the United States putting a gun under our necks.
If the "Typhon" system strikes at China, the developed areas along our southeast coast will be within its range coverage.
As we all know, the five southeastern provinces account for 40 percent of the country's total economic output and contribute more than 75 percent of the country's finances, which is our important economic region, equivalent to our "economic lifeline." The United States' deployment of the "Typhon" system is actually a prelude to a showdown with China, and to put it bluntly, it is aimed at your economically developed regions.

After analyzing the US "Typhon" system, when discussing with friends, some friends believed that we could strike at the US missiles deployed by the Philippines in advance.
Theory can be realized, but where to hit and how?
The Philippines belongs to the tropical jungle zone, will the location of US missile deployment be made public?
Unless we go to the Philippines to find out the precise location of the deployment of US missiles, there is a premise here, if the United States deploys a fixed missile system, it is equivalent to a silo device. However, the Typhon system is vehicle-mounted and can be moved to a more discreet firing position at any time. Judging from the photos released by foreign media, it is indeed a vehicle-mounted type.
If the Typhon launcher moves through the jungles of the Philippines, it is difficult for us to pinpoint the location of its deployment.
There are also friends who believe that Tomahawk missiles fly slowly, and we can intercept them completely. The same is also theoretical, but one missile can be intercepted, and if the United States launches several, how to intercept it?
When we see that the United States is weak, we must also see clearly that the current psychology of the Americans has turned to an all-out attack on China. When war breaks out, it will not be announced how many will be fired, whether nuclear bombs will be used or not.
In addition to the "Typhon" system deployed in the Philippines, there are also missiles deployed by Japan and South Korea, which will also launch strikes against China.
Although our strength is not bad, the occurrence of war and the discussion before the war are two different things, and no matter how perfect the analysis before the war is, everything must be based on the actual war.
If the United States dares to poison itself in a frenzied manner, will it not dare to use nuclear bombs?
Sometimes we really can't be too careless, if we think that we have a thousand ways to deal with it, including using aircraft carriers to directly attack the Philippines, and some people say that we can directly fill in the island Scarborough Shoal and become an unsinkable aircraft carrier, these are all theoretical discussions, but to return to reality, you have to find out the specific location of the US missile deployment, this mobile missile launch system, it is impossible for you to strike at will. Unless we send people to infiltrate the Philippines, there will still be a large number of our insiders in the Philippines, and this is again a theoretical discussion.

Of course, we cannot be intimidated by the deployment of the "Typhon" system by the United States in the Philippines, and the Chinese are not frightened, and the PLA has never been afraid of anything.
But after the outbreak of war, the warring parties did not use brute force, but a combination of strategy and strength. It is necessary not only to have tactics, but also to pay attention to how to strike accurately and ruthlessly, so that we can effectively deter the enemy.
If we simply deal with the "Typhon" system, this is a tactical problem, but if we think about it in the context of the great power game and the premise of grand strategy, there are actually many ways.
Don't care about the "Typhon" system, if the Philippines continues to provoke, we just need to hit the Philippines hard. While knocking on the Philippines, it is also necessary to warn some countries outside the region not to intervene. For example, when Iran retaliated against Israel, it warned the United States not to intervene, otherwise it would hit other American targets.
We would also like to warn the United States that if we use the Typhon system, we can strike the U.S. mainland and U.S. military bases in Guam. These bases have target geographical coordinates, and I believe that we can reach Dongfeng Express directly, and the mainland of the United States can also achieve it.
As long as the warning is issued, according to the calculations of the Americans, they will not dare to use it and will not intervene. As for forcing the United States to withdraw the "Typhon" system from the Philippines, this is another topic. Just as we cannot prevent the United States from deploying THAAD in South Korea, we do not have enough suppressive power to think that the United States will not withdraw its missile systems through verbal opposition.
We can also start a civil war in the Philippines by funding the Philippine independence forces, and then we can send peacekeeping troops to the Philippines under the pretext of protecting the Chinese, which is not only theoretical, but also operational.
Only in this way can we enter the Philippine mainland and force the United States to withdraw its intermediate-range missile system, otherwise it will be impossible to withdraw.

The response we discussed above is actually the "you hit yours, I hit mine" strategy that the instructors have repeatedly emphasized, and this strategy is still useful today.
The deployment of the "Typhon" system by the United States in the Philippines indicates that the United States wants a showdown with China, and as long as it is deployed, it can also be regarded as the beginning of a showdown.
Our public opinion machine wants to condemn it in all directions and without espionage, but now there is no large-scale public opinion counterattack, which is very strange.
Before the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the United States had not deployed missiles in Ukraine, and Da Mao made a decisive move. The Philippines can also be compared to Ukraine.
By deploying the "Typhon" system in the Philippines through the United States, we need to see where our main strategy is.
At present, our main strategy is to complete the reunification of the country, and without the completion of the great cause of reunification, we cannot talk about the grand strategy.
Regardless of how the United States deploys its intermediate-range missile system, we can put the great cause of reunification on the priority agenda, continue to press the island, and launch military reunification ahead of schedule to accomplish the great cause of reunification.
In the eyes of the United States, what the United States is most worried about is actually our military reunification. As long as we start military reunification, we must also warn the United States not to intervene in our family affairs, and if we do, it will be regarded as aggression, and we can have a formal showdown with the United States and strike at any American target.
If the United States wants to fight China to the death at all costs, then the initiative lies with us, and as long as the "Typhon" system launches missiles, then we can land on the island at all costs and take advantage of the situation to strike at US targets such as the US mainland, Hawaii, and Guam.
Only by using the strategy of "you fight yours, I fight mine" can the strategic role of the US "Typhon" system be counteracted. I believe that if a big war starts, how many chances will the United States have to send a large number of "Typhon" to the Philippines?
