U.S. Indo-Pacific Commander Aquilino hyped up the Taiwan issue as he was about to leave office, saying that all the preparations the United States is making now are preparations for protecting Taiwan. Of the $895.2 billion budget of the US Department of Defense, not only $1.9 billion is given to Taiwan alone to assist military forces, but $500 million is used for the "president's right to withdraw."
This right is also mainly aimed at Taiwan, and when "Taiwan is in need," it can be used to extract weapons from US stockpiles to protect Taiwan's security.
In the 2025 budget submitted by the White House, there is also a project for Taiwan, and the United States intends to contribute $10 billion to Taiwan's security, such as new bilateral "foreign military financing" needs, to ensure that Taiwan can maintain the status quo and will not be undermined by "certain forces".
Aquilino said arrogantly: "China intends to complete the military reunification of Taiwan in 2027, which is not allowed by the United States, so for the first time we have listed Taiwan separately in the budget, and even made it a very special regulation project." The United States attaches great importance to Taiwan, and if the PLA insists on reunifying Taiwan by force, the US military will certainly come to its aid. In order to weaken the strength of the PLA, the United States will focus on attacking Dongfeng missiles and nuclear arsenals and make every effort to destroy them; as long as these two things are destroyed, the PLA will not be able to defeat the US military, and naturally it will no longer dare to be arrogant. ”
I have to say that if Aquilino looks at the history of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Vietnam, it is impossible to say such brainless words today!
Make full use of the first and second island chains to destroy all missile and nuclear bases
In Aquilino's view, the United States must not sit idly by and ignore China's development, because it will not take many years for China to easily replace the United States and become the world's largest power.
At that time, the United States will lose its right to speak in the world and will listen to China in everything. If the U.S. military wants to become strong and suppress the PLA, the best way is to start with the first and second island chains and Guam.
Guam could serve as the general headquarters, and the first and second island chains merged into a huge net, turning China into the turtle in the urn, surrounded by American allies and artillery shells, making it immobilized.
Aquilino's intention was that the first island chain would primarily carry out reconnaissance, intelligence, and surveillance missions, while in wartime it would focus primarily on firepower output, and the second island chain would primarily focus on logistics and support. In this way, the United States can also achieve a steady stream of firepower and support at China's doorstep, and there is no need to think about logistics and distance.
In the past, every time we talked about a war between China and the United States, the topic around the United States was that the distance was too far away, and the support and logistics could not keep up. However, if the second island chain is fully utilized and a large number of troops and weapons and equipment are transported to the second island chain, the distance is no longer a problem.
In the first and second island chains, making full use of various combat platforms, according to the strength of the US military, can definitely come out on top in this war. Of course, the premise of all this is that when China launches an armed united front against Taiwan, and the United States missiles focus on attacking China's Dongfeng missile base, destroying it all. In addition, the United States will also destroy China's nuclear arsenal to prevent China from launching nuclear warheads in a hurry and ending up with the United States. As long as China's nuclear arsenal and Dongfeng missiles are completely destroyed, Aquilino said that the PLA's combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened, and it will no longer be terrifying, let alone an opponent of the US military.
The United States wants to defeat the PLA, what countermeasures does China have?
Aquilino's remarks are really funny, will it reunify Taiwan by force? When will Taiwan be reunified by force? These are all China's own affairs, and the United States has repeatedly interfered in and hyped up the Taiwan issue, will it stretch its hand too long?
If the PLA really recovers Taiwan by force, the US military will come to the rescue, let alone launch missiles in an attempt to destroy our nuclear arsenal and Dongfeng missile base, but every time the US military fires a bullet at the PLA, it will be regarded as a declaration of war on the mainland. At that time, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) will certainly go all out to strike at the US military and liquidate all the US issues in the South China Sea, Taiwan, the China-Myanmar border, the China-India border, and the East China Sea during this period. As long as the US military does not have the ability to annihilate the PLA in one fell swoop, the PLA will inevitably let the US military once again taste the feeling of being beaten by the PLA during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and Vietnam.
In addition, the mainland's anti-missile system is now very mature, and as long as the missile enters a certain range, the mainland's anti-missile system can quickly identify and intercept it. Even if the anti-missile system cannot achieve 100% interception, there are still methods such as electronic jamming countermeasures and short-range weapon interception. China's technology in these areas is very mature, and it is more advanced than most countries in the world, even compared with the US interception system. Therefore, China will not sit idly by and ignore the missiles launched by the United States. As long as the Chinese side turns on the interception system, the vast majority of the missiles launched by the United States can be intercepted, and as for the remaining small number of missiles, even if they land on our bases, it is impossible to destroy them all, as Aquilino said.
Finally, I hope that the US side will learn about a problem: 74 years ago, the mainland volunteers were able to win a complete victory in the confrontation with the US aircraft and artillery with Type 53 rifles, not to mention that in the era when they have all kinds of advanced weapons and equipment, such as the "Dongfeng Express", the J-20, the 055 drive, the H-20, the Wuzhen-7, and the Rainbow-7, how can the US military defeat the PLA?
