Recently, the guy named Ke Wenzhe on the other side of the strait started a new round of shouting, "If the two sides of the strait go to war, as long as it lasts for four days, the mainland will be miserable!"”
Seriously, I've come to believe that this guy's head has either been kicked by a donkey or the door has been clipped, otherwise how could there be such a "show off" idea?
I seemed to see the praying mantis waving its arms trying to block the huge wheels.
Courage is commendable!But then, I began to wonder again, what kind of power makes that praying mantis have such "courage", I guess you also want to ** after all.
Today, we will talk about the military power of Taiwan Island.
One. Regarding the combat effectiveness of the Taiwan army, military experts are controversial.
To be more conservative, if the fight starts, it will take three days at most to end the fightingThe more radical ones believe that if the war starts in the morning, the second-generation ID card can be issued on the whole island in the afternoon.
That's all. In fact, Taiwan's military service system, which has been repeatedly revised, also makes people lose confidence.
In 1949, after the Kuomintang authorities moved to Taiwan, a conscription system was implemented, with the Taiwan Army serving for two years except for special forces, and the Taiwan Navy and Air Force serving for three years.
In 1977, the three branches of the armed forces were unified into three years.
In 1999, the "compulsory service" of all branches of the Taiwan military was changed to two years.
In 2000, the "alternative service" system was introduced.
Since 2018, the Taiwan military has consisted of three parts: "volunteer service", "alternative service" and "compulsory service", of which the "compulsory service" service time is 4 months.
You read that right, it's 4 months!
It is estimated that if you are smarter, you can just get familiar with the password, and you can "disarm and return to the field"!
And that's not counting the three disarmaments of the late 90s.
Seeing this, I guess you must have remembered two words:
Toss!Therefore, even Chiu Kuo-cheng, head of Taiwan's defense department, admitted that "alternative service" is not helpful in combat, and that "compulsory service" of only four months is not enough.
What can you expect from the combat effectiveness of such an army?
Two. What I said above is the "software" of the Taiwan military, so let's take a look at its "hardware" next.
As a matter of fact, from a worldwide perspective, Taiwan's military strength is still very strong.
Of the world's 233 countries and regions, Taiwan ranks 26th in military power, which means that it is strong enough to beat any of the remaining more than 200 countries.
Its armament data are as follows:
Standing Army 1650,000, 289 fighter jets, 115 rocket artillery, 4 destroyers, 4 submarines, and annual military spending of $10.7 billion.
I'll it!In this way, the military power still ranks 26th in the worldIsn't that!
You'd say that!
To tell you the truth, when I first saw this set of data, my eyes also fell to the ground.
The reason why it feels incredible is because we are Chinese, our imaginary enemy is the United States, and we also use the US ** power data as a reference on weekdays.
But you must know that there are still many countries in the world whose military strength is so weak that it makes you staggering, and you can look at the current Russia-Ukraine conflict.
If Taiwan's military ranking surprises you, then look down and you have to cover your chin!
Let's start with one thing, tanks.
Don't you think this thing is commonplace, I'm afraid that even those tribes in Africa can find three or five cars.
But in reality, only 114 countries and regions in the world have tanks!
Let's talk about some of the rarer things:
fighter jets, owned by 92 countries and regions;
Armed *** 75 countries and regions have;
submarines, owned by 41 countries and regions;
Destroyers, owned by 12 countries and regions.
This time, you understand the military strength ranking of Taiwan Island, why it can be among the top.
It is not so much that Taiwan's military strength is strong, but that the military strength of many countries is too weak.
Let's put it this way, those countries that do not have fighter planes will be cautious in front of Taiwan, and Taiwan will tremble in front of the mainland.
What is the situation of the mainland's military strength, on the data:
Standing Army 21830,000 (excluding reserves), 1,232 fighter aircraft, 2,650 rocket artillery, 74 submarines, 36 destroyers, and 3 aircraft carriers, the Navy ranks second in the world, with an annual military expenditure of 238 billion US dollars, second only to the United States.
With such a force value, it would ...... if the two sides of the strait really went to war
Why is there a kind of "cannon to fight mosquitoes"?
Three. Today's Ukraine is still rumbling with artillery, and seeing that the United States has no intention of sending troops, the "clowns who jump off the beam" on the island panicked.
They seemed to see their own miserable future, so they began to shout "Baotai!".We're on our own!”。
On your own?Don't be funny, there is not even a local military industry, what do you take to "protect Taiwan".
Buy, buy, buy!It is Taiwan's armament policy, and it is especially keen to buy the United States.
Because this can not only strengthen national defense, but also please the Americans, no matter how you look at it, it is more cost-effective than developing the local military industry.
But then again, what if the military industry is developed?It's just a matter of fighting for a few more hours.
What are you doing with Fenarausch!
How good it is to buy American goods directly, kill two birds with one stone, why not?
But this has led to a problem, ** one-time, one less one, and no timely replenishment.
However, Chinese mainland is different, and in the face of various technological limitations, it has developed a complete military industry in the spirit of self-reliance.
At the same time, it has greatly accelerated the industrialization process, making "Made in China" famous all over the world and known as the world's factory.
The last country to be known as the world's factory was the United States.
Four. If you don't have any idea about the world's factory, then after reading this past, you will understand.
On December 7, 1941, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, and one of its strategic goals was to destroy two aircraft carriers in the harbor.
At this time, the United States had only 7 aircraft carriers, while Japan dispatched 6 aircraft carriers in order to succeed in the operation.
Fortunately, the two US aircraft carriers happened to be in the harbor and thus escaped.
Japan missed.
Next, not to mention that you also know, World War II ended after the United States declared war on Japan and a huge mushroom cloud rose from Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Of course, this is not the point, I will say that by 1945, in just four years, the United States had built 155 aircraft carriers!
Among them, there are 27 heavy aircraft carriers, 11 light aircraft carriers, and 117 escort aircraft carriers.
This is just an aircraft carrier, as for planes, artillery, tanks and so on, let's not mention it.
This is the terrifying war potential of the "factory of the world"!
So, do you think the United States in 1945 or China in 2023 will be stronger or weaker?
Five. From the very beginning, we had the feeling that the United States was the only one in the world who was worthy of being our opponent.
The GDP of the United States, 130 years ago, was already the largest in the world, and by 1945, the Stars and Stripes were planted halfway around the world.
If you think about China's strength 130 years ago, think about China's position in 1945, and then look at it now, you will definitely shout "Ula!" from the bottom of your heart”
In today's China, except for the launch of aircraft carriers and the change of shifts of space stations, which can attract people's attention, everything else is ignored!
The huge gap in strength makes the war in the Taiwan Strait no suspense at all, and it is destined to be a crushing battle.
Therefore, those Ke Wenzhe's people don't have to worry about whether they can resist for four days at all.
Because once the fight begins, the decapitation operation will begin, and there is only one result waiting for them, and that is to be -
