Yesterday's words said half of "Biden sent a message to expand the army by 5 brigades, turning back to reveal that "the US military helps tame" This is a rough bottom? 》
War is an organized act of human violence and a means of bloodshed to achieve political ends. If you lose politically, whether the war can be won is the question, and even if you win on the battlefield, you may push yourself into an abyss. This is a discourse recognized by both ancient and modern Chinese and foreign countries, from "Sun Tzu's Art of War" to "TheOry of War", and has also been proved by countless facts.
The United States just showed us the other day...
Thinking that the "national army" fought countless funny battles on the mainland was something that most people could not have imagined, not only mr. Jiang himself could not have imagined it, but even the old people admitted that they had begun to be conservative on this issue, and he did not expect to win in three years. The reason is that Mr. Jiang did not fail politically, but completely bankrupt! There is no end to the eggs under the nest, and there must be obvious effects in the military.
600,000 vs. 800,000, the advantage is in me...
However, the United States, as an "outsider", sees it very clearly.
A document now declassified by the United States, called the State Department's Report on the Main Factors Governing the Size of the Chinese Army (June 25, 1947), unapologetically states that "the Grand Strategy of the Kuomintang Army (which currently uses first-class troops to defend semi-isolated outpost cities), the selection of battlefield commanders (some commanders are clumsy in military leadership), and the increase in the supply of people and goods (accompanied by serious corruption in the process) represent the determination and action of the Nanjing government to ultimately be held accountable." ”
What is your responsibility?
Alas, go to Taiwan...
That is, he ran to Taiwan with the remnants of the 1.8 million "Nationalist Army" and the defeated generals. Although in Taiwan he vigorously tossed around all kinds of preparations for "counter-attacking the mainland" and reorganized all kinds of "national troops" that had suffered enough on the mainland, in the end they were all poor tosses...
Mainland, just look at it...
Today's Taiwan army can be said to be fundamentally wrong...
Is Taiwan's politics better today than it was in the days of Chiang Kai-shek's father and son? They were politically bankrupt on the mainland, but if they had a good time of introspection, even the fools would have gained something from their worries.
Mr. Jiang reflected more deeply.
It's just a pity that the roots will be difficult to achieve without getting rid of things. After Mr. Chiang's death, not only did he choose the wrong successor, but more importantly, Taiwan's political character quickly slid into the nonsense-filled pattern of the past...
The morality of politics is different from the morality of ordinary people, but in the end it is necessary to talk about morality, this level of morality...
As mentioned earlier, lee teng-hui sat firmly on the stage and immediately began to engage in the "fine case" and carried out a major reorganization of the Taiwan military. On the surface, it is because there is no intention of "counterattacking the mainland," but in fact, in his bones, he wants to carry out a purge to completely eliminate the Kuomintang's influence on the Taiwan army, so as to facilitate his own pursuit of Taiwan independence.
At least they are not stupid enough to get home...
Lee Teng-hui and his "chosen" successor, Chen Shui-bian, are both filled with the flavor of Taiwan independence in their bones, and there is no political morality to speak of. But their most basic political wisdom is still there. Although the People's Liberation Army did not have the strength it has today, it would not be as easy as it is today.
However, if the two of them really tossed and turned around and completely cut off the economic exchanges between the mainland and Taiwan, Taiwan would not have developed, and the influence of the Kuomintang within the Taiwan military at that time was still very large. Once the practice of Taiwan independence has created a phenomenon of internal and external difficulties, it will be a matter of minutes for them to be finished.
Therefore, they basically stopped at all kinds of active advocacy, but when it came to moving a little bit of truth, they were careful of abnormalities. When Chen Shui-bian was forced to be anxious, he also told the truth: "We want Taiwan independence now, and if we can't do it, we can't do it!" ”
They know that what they can't do immediately may not be impossible forever, so they can't complete what they think of as a "historical mission" and can still be handed over to future generations, as long as they continue to clear the historical obstacles for future generations to do this, then when there is a real day, they will definitely be written into history as "godfathers".
However, the "refined" (purge) of the Taiwan military must continue
Therefore, the "refined" case of the Taiwan military is essentially busy replacing a large number of "provincial" and "Kuomintang" generals with "provincial nationality" generals, and as for the issue of ability, it is not important...
Or is it the phrase "there is no end to the eggs under the nest", how good will such a poor and tossed Taiwan army be?
The role of the most basic level is like this...
But once you want Taiwan independence, you will definitely be beaten, and everyone knows this. How can you withstand this beating? It is impossible for the Taiwan military not to start preparing for this, and the trouble is that there is a little bit of successful experience in this regard that can be learned from...
The outcome of the Battle of the Golden Gate was actually particularly complex.
In the Battle of Kinmen, the most intuitive observation result was that the PLA's navy and air force were almost non-existent, and it was difficult to hope for victory if it wanted to fight the island landing war. In fact, this is wrong in itself!
In all aspects of the PLA's defeat in this battle, the most important factor is not the navy and air force, but the problem of its own organization and understanding of the island landing war. That's not much to say. Of course, the issue of the Navy and Air Force is undoubtedly the most immediate.
Taiwan is reluctant to mention this battle...
One of the obvious differences between the People's Liberation Army and the Nationalist Army is to seek truth from facts, and if it loses, then reflect and sum up. What are the problems with the organization and tactics of the landing forces in the Battle of the Golden Gate, change! If there is any problem with the support aspect of the Battle of the Golden Gate, change! Navy and air force no, made! So, 5 years later, on Yijiangshan Island, the situation is completely different...
What about the Nationalist side?
Nor can you say that he does not summarize at all. But if the national army was good at summing up, the war of that year would not have been fought like that... In particular, Kinmen is a crucial victory for them, which is probably even more unreliable to sum up.
Bear of the Golden Gate, the guarantee of victory?!
In their view, it is crucial to ensure air and sea superiority first, which can first reduce the opponent's first wave of landing strike capabilities, and then cut off the backup and retreat. Theoretically, it is indeed true that because of the poor organization of the Battle of Kinmen, the landing ships that were not enough ran aground and then were blown up by the Kuomintang Air Force, causing the LANDING troops of the People's Liberation Army to become alone, which was the root of the defeat.
Secondly, the "Bear of the Golden Gate" above is very important, this thing can make the PLA landing troops gnaw on it, and if this thing is then used to launch a counter-attack on the beachhead positions held by the PLA, victory will be in hand.
Therefore, the Taiwan military is now a compulsory course in exercises, and tanks are fired on the beachhead to release artillery...
But things always change, right?
The pain of the Battle of Kinmen, as well as the pain tasted by the volunteers in the Korean War, will make our army reflect on what problems we have - the phobia of insufficient firepower!
Now that you know what the problem is, let's prescribe the right medicine...
This dose looks quite fierce...
What about the Taiwan military? Until now, I still cling to those two experiences. The "fine case" was disarmed, and no matter what the purpose, it did save some military expenses, and although the above-mentioned "Lafait" ship procurement time all kinds of corruption caused the colonel to die, but it was a good way to put together some advanced goods.
But in fact, there are still many troubles. First of all, the Mirage 2000 sold by the French is a good thing, the Lafait stealth missile frigate is also a good thing, and the Dutch Dolphin-class submarine can be used although it is old, but it is difficult to buy it again.
This thing is quite broken...
After a turn, the United States on this earth is still willing to sell something, but the American style is known to everyone. Air Force stuff can sell some good things F16, E2 early warning aircraft, paving claw radar or something, Navy stuff to sell on the Kidd-class destroyer this kind of semi-new and not old stuff, Army stuff fooling and selling (and the recent Haimas rocket artillery is still like a point)...
How can you make money without this? Besides, who has a better strategy to make a lot of money and effectively manipulate the Taiwan issue?
What's more, in the U.S. Army itself is a third-class class, and all kinds of funds are always cut. The Navy and Air Force's weapons development budget has always been sufficient, how many years has the Army not developed a few visible main battle weapons?
This thing is really good, but unfortunately let Rumsfeld's old thing cut ———— the U.S. Army
Taiwan, then only endure...
But how long can Taiwan hold back? This matter is not easy to say...
Is it racing at this pace? I didn't find the updated numbers
After all, Taiwan can now collect more than 400 billion yuan in taxes a year, and military expenditure is now going to spend nearly 90 billion yuan, don't forget that this is still the mainland has not worked hard with Taiwan, so that they have a deficit of 700 billion yuan every year to earn! If the game continues, what will Taiwan do?
Overcharged? That Taiwan's economy is estimated to be really doomed, not chicken flying dog jump is strange ...
Or should we simply change the "conscription system" back to the "conscription system", so as to save a lot of money? But the problem is what causes and what results are sown, and one of the ways the DPP fooled the Taiwanese in those years was to oppose the Kuomintang regime's conscription system.
In fact, this thing is still a bit present...
In this context, is it not a bit funny that the Taiwan military has expanded five brigades? With this little money, it is actually more reliable to hurry up and engage in other weapons.
Taiwan's helplessness lies here
But why did Taiwan have to come and expand five army brigades?
Look at the map of Taiwan to know that there are three main highways on the island of Taiwan, two of which are of higher rank in the west, and the one in the east is too fragile...
Taitung Highway is so close to the sea, it is not very difficult to cut it off...
Then the key to a fight is here. If the Taiwan military cannot ensure that the PLA is stopped from these two roads at the first time, the war will basically end...
This is not easy, the two 400-kilometer highways in the east cannot be broken. Can't be blown up, can't be occupied! There are too many places on the west coast of Taiwan that are suitable for landing, and with the strength of the People's Liberation Army, in addition to ensuring the common "one point and two sides" main attack and assist direction, it is not a problem to send some small troops to cut off the road and fight a blockade war.
This is no longer the era of the "Bear of the Golden Gate", and the difficulty of the Taiwan army's armored and mechanized troops to counterattack has not been increased a little. Once the fight starts, it is a matter of minutes before the north and south are cut off.
The PLA amphibious forces have been fully armored...
The beginning and the end cannot be taken into account, which is a big taboo for soldiers. Because it is impossible to distribute the troops evenly to the front line at once, what if it is broken through at one point? There must be a reserve team ready to counter-impact and close the breakthrough, otherwise it can only be passively beaten, and the end is a matter of minutes.
Now it seems that Taiwan also knows that this point cannot find any good way, and can only play the score and fight for itself when the time comes. So what else is tossing?
In their view, there is still a glimmer of life...
Don't you say you want to defend Taiwan? Waiting for you...
What if we could pile up more "meat sandbags" between the coast and the road? Let the People's Liberation Army not rush to the foot of Alishan so quickly to cut off these two highways, then it can be up topped for a few more than a dozen hours? Leave the United States with the time to make decisions quickly and then send troops to save their lives...
I packed up...
The worst thing is to leave Governor Cai with a little time to get on the helicopter!
This is the greatest significance of a military preparation that stands up to be beaten...
