The Russian-Ukrainian war has reached its third year, from the beginning when Putin vowed to fight a "blitzkrieg", until now everyone has become accustomed to it, and it is generally believed that this war will continue like this.
Obviously, Ukraine's military strength is far inferior to Russia's, just like the strength gap between Taiwan and the mainland, but Russia has made a big mistake, not only did not achieve the "blitzkrieg", but also made itself a "slave of war" and was dragged down step by step by the war.
In the recent military parade on Red Square in Moscow, the spectacular scene of the golden iron horse and a million soldiers in the past is now exhausted and desolate.
If the PLA wants to recover Taiwan, it will have a very big resemblance to the Russian-Ukrainian war. If we don't want to end up in the same fate as Russia, there are two things that we must bite to death and never let go, otherwise we will also fall into the quagmire of war.
The Russian-Ukrainian war has been fought to this day only because Russia has made two major mistakes
At the beginning, Putin vowed that he would fight a "blitzkrieg", largely because of the light enemy against Ukraine. He naively thinks that Western countries will not pay much for the small country of Ukraine, and if it is only small support, it will not hurt Russia at all.
Moreover, in terms of energy cooperation, Western countries are very dependent on Russia. At the beginning, Putin estimated that he started a war with Ukraine with the idea that "even if energy cooperation is considered, Western countries will not go too far". But what Putin didn't expect was that Western countries would rather abandon Russia, a big seller of good quality and low price, and spare no effort to support Ukraine.
And when the war with Ukraine first started, the Russian army was still fighting on the front line "slowly and leisurely", looking very disapproving.
It is precisely because of the full support of Western countries and Russia's underestimation of the enemy at the beginning that the Russian-Ukrainian war has become what it is today.
If Russia had been able to prepare sufficient weapons and equipment, and be serious and go all out to fight Ukraine, even if it had the support of weapons from Western countries, Russia would not have been defeated repeatedly, after all, the overall combat effectiveness of the Russian army is incomparable to that of the Ukrainian army.
In addition, Russia does not have a legitimate name for fighting Ukraine, which makes Western countries find an excuse to carry out large-scale support. Or rather, Putin doesn't really care about public opinion at all.
But the fact that the division is unknown means that this war, which is spearheaded by Russia, is an invasion, and it cannot be aided by other countries, otherwise it is "aiding and abetting". However, the assistance of Western countries to Ukraine is different, and Western countries provide support in the name of supporting "supporting the maintenance of sovereignty", which is somewhat justified.
So far, the United States should have supported Ukraine with at least $110 billion, more than 1,000 Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, 20 sets of army tactical missile systems and other advanced weapons, not counting the support of other Western countries.
With the help of these countries, the Russian army has sacrificed at least 111,000 people on the battlefield and lost a large number of advanced weapons and equipment, including Su-35S fighters, T-90M main battle tanks, and S-400 air defense missile systems. Although it has inherited a lot of things from the former Soviet Union, Russia is still a little dragged to the point that it cannot hold on.
To put it simply, Russia was unable to quickly win the war because of "the division is unknown" and "underestimated the enemy". If the mainland wants to launch an armed united front, it must bite to death the two points of "the division is famous" and "a quick victory."
China wants to learn from Russia's war and bite two points
First of all, China's position on the Taiwan issue is undoubtedly beyond doubt, and Taiwan is a part of China, which is justified and in accordance with international law.
However, despite this, under the collective hype of the "Taiwan independence" elements and Western countries in recent years, the wind of public opinion seems to have changed somewhat. Therefore, China must resolutely deal with the oath of sovereignty and must not slacken its efforts, otherwise it is very likely that Western countries will seize the loopholes in the future and thus provide "justifiable" support to Taiwan. At that time, China will be in the same situation as Russia.
Of course, we should not underestimate the cheekiness of Western countries. Even if they can't justifiably support it, they will support it "quietly".
Since the US military has been deploying control and increasing the deployment of military forces in the Asia-Pacific region for several years in a row, the US military strength in the Asia-Pacific region should not be underestimated, such as the Seventh Fleet.
The Seventh Fleet's overall combat strength is extraordinary, and it also has two carrier battle groups, both of which are equipped with state-of-the-art carrier-based aircraft groups and missile systems, as well as air defense capabilities. Once it participates in a war between the two sides of the strait, it is very likely that it will deal a very powerful firepower blow to our army.
Second, in the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean and other oceans, the US military is very likely to have deployed a large number of nuclear submarines. At peace, these nuclear submarines are "safe and harmless," but once they receive the order to go to war, they will pose a great threat to our military.
The most important thing is that the US military has more than one force deployed in the Asia-Pacific region, and no matter which force it is, its overall combat strength is not bad, otherwise it will not be able to satisfy the sinister thinking of the United States in trying to drag China down with war.
And when the time comes, U.S. allies in the Indo-Pacific region, such as India, Japan, South Korea, and Australia, will inevitably contribute to this war. Generally speaking, if a war does break out, China will face no less difficult situation than Russia. If we do not want to become a second Russia, we must not only ensure that "the division is famous", but also quickly establish an encirclement on the periphery of Taiwan and block all support forces from the outside. As for the remaining PLA, it needs to fight a quick battle, and it must not underestimate the enemy, and must go all out to occupy Taiwan in the shortest possible time.
