**: Super Dad.
In the past two days, the South China Sea has suddenly become lively. Judging from China's official news, it was the Philippines that provoked for two consecutive days, and China's second navy, the China Coast Guard, could not bear it anymore and was forced to take control measures. But Dan always thinks that things are not that simple.
Let's start by looking at what happened. On December 9, three Philippine Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Bureau official vessels sailed into the waters near China's Scarborough Shoal. Not to mention, China's Second Navy is still quite hospitable, giving the highest courtesy in international civil aviation - the water arch (water gate).
In addition to the ritual of receiving the wind and washing the dust, the Watergate ceremony can also play a role in maintaining the aircraft, such as cooling the engine, washing away the dust and corrosion on the surface of the aircraft, and then prolonging the life of the aircraft.
It's just that China's Second Navy is too hospitable, and the water is too abundant, and the caliber of the water cannon is too large, almost filling the Philippine ship. Not only Philippine fishing boats but also Philippine official vessels were treated with courtesy.
I don't know what's going on, why the usually well-trained Second Navy has such a poor accuracy this time, and it just happened to hit the radar and cockpit of the most waterproof Philippine ships, causing their navigation and communication equipment to malfunction.
It should be noted that we are still very particular about protocol, fishermen to fishermen, coast guard to coast guard (the other party's official boat). It's hard to go to sea, so our fishermen are all young men in their twenties.
Due to the hot weather in the South China Sea, short hair is cooler, and our fishermen like to keep their hair short and flat. They were young after all, and although they were well-disciplined and well-groomed, they were obviously inexperienced in fishing, as they were rarely seen with fish on board.
The young men are not good at fishing, but they have a strong sense of the legal system, and they carry a video camera with them to collect evidence at any time. Moreover, this fishing boat is also very professional, well maintained, it seems to be an ironclad fishing boat, and it is afraid of traffic accidents at sea.
The soldiers of the Second Navy are still too lonely in normal times, and they are so enthusiastic when they see monkeys at sea. In addition to the Watergate salute, the welcome slogan was also shouted. I was afraid that the other party would not be able to hear clearly, so I used the special loudspeaker of the lion's roar.
This special loudspeaker can be directed to produce a sound that is higher than that of a jet engine, at a volume of more than 150 decibels. The effect is similar to ten piledrivers shouting on the eardrums: Welcome, welcome, warmly welcome!
What is the saying?To the extreme is to be nothing. The Filipinos initially found it too noisy due to the loud cheers and quickly enteredSilent world。They knew they couldn't afford such a courtesy, so they went home, wondering if they were back in the sound world.
At 6 a.m. on December 10, another wave of Philippine ships tried to sneak into our Second Thomas Shoal. Everyone knows that there is a broken Philippine ship that has been lying there for 24 years, and they are trying to send supplies there.
When another wave of our coast guard soldiers found out, they also gave them a very high courtesy, not only giving them a watergate salute, giving them a bath in the engine and cockpit, and even giving them a hug (collision).
What do you think of these things?There is no doubt that the Philippines is to blame for everything (the Philippines has unprovoked provocations, refuses to listen to dissuasion, flagrantly violates the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, violates China's sovereignty in the South China Sea, and undermines regional peace).
But it doesn't seem that simple. On the surface, it seems that the Philippines is not a good person, but in fact, we are the ones who come. Why do you say that?If you look at the map, Scarborough Shoal is actually quite far from our nearest base.
Scarborough Shoal belongs to the Spratly Islands, but for a long time, China did not have a military presence in the Spratly Islands. Among the Zhongsha Islands, the only outcropping is Scarborough Shoal, which is 610 kilometers away from Woody Island, 615 kilometers away from Dongsha Island in the north, and 630 kilometers away from Mischief Island in the south.
However, Scarborough Shoal is only 230 kilometers from the Philippines and 345 kilometers from their capital, Manila. So since 2012 we've nominally regained control of Scarborough Shoal, but most of it is just a game of cat and mouse.
We went on a cruise, and they flashed. We left, and they sneaked back. Looking at the above picture is the patrol track of our coast guard in recent years, Scarborough Shoal is nothing more than a transit station, not suitable for long-term stationing.
If you want to completely get rid of this passive situation, you must either beat them up, or rely on the magic of nature to let Scarborough Shoal grow and develop, and finally reach the conditions for long-term garrison (in fact, Scarborough Shoal is the most growing island at present).
This can be referred to the struggle at Second Thomas Shoal. The reason why the broken Philippine ship could always rely on our Ren'ai Jiao was because this place was too close to the Philippines (200 kilometers) and 1,000 kilometers away from our Hainan Island.
But in recent years, the Philippines has been a lot more passive because our Mischief Reef has developed into Mischief Island, which is only 35 kilometers away from Second Thomas Reef. What is the action in the Philippines, we will squint after drinking coffee, and we will have to wait for them for a while.
Moreover, Mischief Island is three times the size of the Maldives and one-fifth of Macau. The scenery on it is beautiful, the facilities are complete, and there is a natural man-made harbor, which is very suitable for the growth and reproduction of ** and even aircraft carriers.
On December 8, at Mischief Reef, about 35 kilometers from Second Thomas Reef, three coast guard ships and a number of destroyers and landing ships, including 052D, were playing here, according to satellites**.
How much of a deterrent does this have for the Philippines?Just today, a group of Filipinos took a maritime training ship to go to the beached and broken ship near Ren'ai Jiao in the South China Sea to offer Christmas condolences.
That's the magic of island reclamation. Therefore, Mr. Egg has always believed that since the successful development of the seven islands in the South China Sea, there has been no war in the South China Sea. Not to mention the Philippine ships, even if the 10,000 Carl Vinson aircraft carrier comes, it will not be a problem.
The best opportunity for Scarborough Shoal to fill in the island is to fill in the seven islands of Nansha, and the Sky Whale will immediately switch to the operation of Scarborough Shoal. However, since Duterte came to power, China-Philippines relations have improved, and it is difficult for us to take action on the Scarborough Shoal issue.
Not only is it difficult to reclaim the island, but fishermen from both countries can fish here, and the law enforcement boats of the two countries are also safe. With the coming to power of Marcos Jr., China-Philippines relations have taken a sharp turn for the worse, and the opportunity to completely solve Scarborough Shoal has come.
This time the Sino-Philippine maritime conflict is more like what the rabbit is looking forward to. Because just before the incident, we made preparations in advance and sent a small boat to install a floating barrier nearby, in order to wait for the arrival of the Philippine boats.
I think the timing is also very good. Because on December 8, the United States voted only against it in the Security Council, which means that there is no hope for a ceasefire in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and it must continue.
At this time, the United States, on the one hand, has to face the moral condemnation of the international community, on the other hand, the United States itself is also firmly established, on the one hand, it has to serve Daddy, on the other hand, it has to serve Daddy, it is estimated that it is difficult to free up his hands to serve another Daddy.
So on the surface, it seems that the Philippines is provoking, but in fact, the initiative is in our hands, and we can play monkeys whenever we want, focusing on a timing and proportionality of closing the net.
In fact, the same is true of Ren'ai Jiao, we seem to have made arrangements a long time ago, waiting for the water gate to play monkeys. The good news is that the engine of one of the other ships has been scrapped, and the bad news is that concentrated sulfuric acid has not been used.
In the end, the Philippine side had no choice but to take the ship away, which had lost power. The Christmas condolences were unsuccessful, and the supplies failed again, but the cattle were blown out, and the gifts of Lao Li Tou next door were received
Unexpectedly, the Philippine side is really full of talents, and they turned out the previous ** and fooled the people of their country through the release (the picture below is released today by GMA7, the second largest TV station in the Philippines** (actually filmed in June this year).
It can be seen that Marcos Jr. can now be said to be riding a tiger, inciting nationalist sentiment in the country to gain support at the same time, but it has been counterattacked. Because trying to encroach on Chinese territory is something that cannot be done at all, so you can only choose to fool around.
What about Marcos Jr., if he is not a Zhengguo-level underground party member, he is a real fool who dares to hit the muzzle of the gun when his father in the United States is busy.
Although China only uses water cannons, it is better than the mouth cannon of the United States. Since the United States is busy dealing with the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the Russian-Ukrainian war, I am afraid that it will not even have a mouthpiece. And when China was trying to kill chickens and monkeys, it came directly from the monkeys lying on the chopping board.
I hope that Marcos Jr. will be braver and create conditions for the growth and development of Scarborough Shoal, and also demonstrate to the world the serious consequences of provoking the mysterious power in the East.
