Recently, researchers at the RAND think tank in the United States published an extremely explosive opinion.
US think tank personnel believe that once China and the United States go to war, the battlefield will not be the South China Sea, which is currently a hot spot in the Sino-Philippine dispute, nor will it be the Taiwan Strait region.
But a place that many people don't think about, and that is the Indian Ocean.
Why did the US put forward such a viewpoint?
What is the basis for his views? Please listen to me slowly!
Because in the opinion of the US side, judging by the current military strength of the Chinese side.
The United States wants to blockade China within the first island chain and to start a decisive battle with China in the coastal waters, but the United States has no chance of winning.
In particular, with the announcement of the sea trials of China's Fujian warship, it shows that the United States cannot lock China in the western Pacific.
China's three aircraft carriers, coupled with China's powerful rocket forces.
At that time, the military bases deployed by the United States in the first island chain will have no way to compete with China.
And the United States wants to start a decisive battle with China and wants to wrestle with China.
The best option is to stretch the battle line a little longer, on the one hand, to get rid of the lock of China's coastal artillery, and on the other hand, to allow the US military to strike into China's coastal waters.
The RAND think tank in the United States believes that the best choice for the United States is to choose the battlefield in the Indian Ocean.
Because this place is not far away, not close, just right.
Moreover, the Indian Ocean has another advantage, that is, the United States can attack western China from the direction of the Indian Ocean.
After all, many of China's important military bases are also deployed in western China, and once the United States makes a move, it will not only attack China's southeast coast, but also attack western China from the Indian Ocean at the same time.
Although the remarks of the American think tank seem to make some sense.
But if you look closely, you will find that there is no truth as a basis, and there is no logic.
After all, China's Dongfeng missiles can not only lock on to the so-called first island chain of the US military, but also hit the Indian Ocean.
The most important thing is that the United States, as an extraterritorial country thousands of miles away, now has military bases deployed by the United States in the Asia-Pacific region, mainly in Japan, the Philippines and other countries.
Once China and the United States decide to go to war, China will definitely completely annihilate the main US military force in the Asia-Pacific region at the first opportunity.
Therefore, the United States wants to stretch the battle line and rely on the military forces deployed in the Indian Ocean to start a war with China.
This is complete nonsense.
Generally speaking, the remarks of US think tanks are still hyping up the "China threat theory" and spreading rumors.
China is a peace-loving country, and China's rise path is completely different from that of Western countries led by the United States.
The United States and other Western countries rose by colonization and war alone.
China has risen by reform and opening up and by hard work.
China loves peace and does not want to see war, but the United States has been fanning the flames all over the world, fearing that there will be no chaos in the world.
