Recently, China and the Philippines in the Ren'ai Jiao tension operation, the Philippines suffered a series of setbacks and losses, its building materials transportation mission ended in complete failure, but also encountered the Chinese coast guard in the operation of the accidental revelation, according to reliable sources and the Chinese coast guard issued a notice, the Philippines tried to use a wooden yacht named Yunaza May 4, illegal transport of building materials prohibited by the Chinese government to its illegal occupation of Sierra Madre.
When the vessel tried to force a break through the cordon set up by the Chinese Coast Guard in the waters off Second Thomas Shoal, the China Coast Guard acted quickly and intercepted it with blisters. In the process, the ironic scene occurred when a high-pressure jet of water fired from a Chinese naval water cannon accidentally pierced the windshield of the cockpit of the ship, which was originally a civilian-standard ship, causing chaos inside the cabin, and the current swept almost the entire cabin. More dramatically, the operation also unexpectedly revealed a secret hidden by the Philippine ship - a large fish hidden in the transport hold, a series of events that not only showed the helplessness and failure of the Philippine side in the conflict, but also made it face an embarrassing and embarrassing situation in the international community.
A number of Philippine officials were injured in the recent intense operations at Second Thomas Shoal, most notably Lieutenant General Alberto Carlos, the supreme commander of the armed forces in the western part of the country. The battle-hardened general suffered a severe contusion on his right index finger during the conflict. According to eyewitness accounts, the blisters hit the glass of the cabin, which instantly shattered and splinters were scattered. Although Lieutenant General Carlos reacted quickly and tried to cover his face with his arm, unfortunately, his right index finger was cut by a sharp shard of glass, and blood gushed out instantly.
After receiving emergency medical attention, Lieutenant General Carlos' wounds were carefully cleaned and bandaged. Despite the unbearable pain, he chose to take the initiative to show his wounds to the media and recalled the situation in detail. He described that he could almost feel the sound of shards of glass flying through the air the moment the blisters shattered the glass. He quickly sought cover to protect himself, but due to the suddenness of the incident, he was unable to fully dodge in his hurry, resulting in this unfortunate injury.
In describing the injury, Lieutenant General Carlos's words reveal determination and bravery. He said that as a soldier, he is well aware of his duties and mission, and will not hesitate to stand up no matter how great the difficulties and dangers he faces. He also said that although this injury caused him some pain and inconvenience, he did not regret his choice, because he believed that only through continuous efforts and struggles can he win more benefits and dignity for the country and the people.
It is noteworthy that Lieutenant General Carlos personally participated in the operation and was wounded, which is not uncommon among the top echelons of the Philippine army. In fact, the top generals of the Philippine military often choose to board the Sierra Madre in the interior of Second Thomas Shoal as ordinary soldiers, in order to show their bravery and determination in front of the public, and to accumulate valuable experience and prestige for their career advancement. This practice not only improves their image in the public eye, but also accumulates valuable experience and prestige for their career advancement.
After digging deeper, we learned that Mr. Carlos had boarded the Sierra Madre twice in a special capacity last year. In particular, in December 2019, he accompanied the Supreme Commander of the Philippine Army, General Brauner, to visit Second Thomas Shoal, where he had a dinner with the Navy sailors aboard the Sierra Madre, and left an unforgettable group photo.
Rather than take one of the usual ships used to transport necessities such as food and drinking water, he decided to take a freighter loaded with construction materials. This is a surprising choice, given that the Chinese Maritime Police usually take strict measures against such ships carrying construction materials, and are customary to allow passage of ships carrying only household goods.
On this occasion, the Chinese Maritime Police approved the passage of another Yunaza boat carrying supplies on May 1. This means that if Mr. Carlos chooses to board this boat, there is a good chance that he will be able to climb aboard the Sierra Madre again without much difficulty. But as a senior Philippine military general with a deep understanding of the situation and policy changes in the South China Sea, Mr. Carlos made a different choice.
The fact that the Sierra Madre was in serious condition and that the Philippine military urgently needed to transport construction materials to the ship for repairs, Mr. Carlos probably thought that personally leading the team to break through the blockade of the Chinese Maritime Police and successfully deliver the construction materials would have a huge publicity effect, as a way to show his fearlessness in the face of the attack of the Chinese Maritime Police.
After in-depth observation, it is clear that the Philippine side's actions at Second Thomas Jiao have strong political propaganda overtones. Carlos said that despite the setbacks, the Philippine civilian and police departments would not give up and would continue to plan and carry out similar operations in the future, and he also confronted the serious challenges facing the Philippines today, which is a serious shortage of transport vessel resources.
Due to the limited number of Philippine Coast Guard patrol vessels, the supply mission at Second Thomas Shoal had to rely on civilian wooden yachts as the main means of transport, and patrol vessels to provide escorts, and the Philippines originally had Yunaza May 1 and 2 boats as the main material delivery force, and in an operation last October, Boat 2 collided with Chinese Coast Guard vessels, resulting in serious damage, and is still being repaired in the dockyard.
In another clash last December, the Kalayaan was hit by heavy fire from Chinese coast guard water cannons, flooding its chimney and damaging its engines, paralyzing the ship on the spot and having to be towed back to its home port by other ships, which has not yet been repaired.
More worryingly, earlier this year, the Philippine Navy's last usable No. 1 boat also malfunctioned as it left port, almost causing the Filipino soldiers on the Sierra Madre to run out of food. In response to this crisis, the Philippine military had to take temporary measures to resupply by air, a series of events that highlighted the enormous difficulties and challenges faced by the Philippines in the resupply mission at Second Thomas Shoal.
