The Philippine military's recent behavior has been shocking: their commander-in-chief managed to board an abandoned ship at Second Thomas Shoal and held a dinner party on board. At the same time, the Philippines has also demanded that the Chinese ambassador to the Philippines be "summoned", and the arrogance of the attitude is incredible. Faced with this situation, one wonders why the Philippine Commander-in-Chief could not have been taken to capture and detain aliveAccording to the famous Philippine news ** "Laple" network on December 11**, the Philippine military forced to break into Ren'ai Jiao the day before, although the Philippine military commander-in-chief Brauner was hit by the water cannon of the Chinese coast guard ship, but still successfully boarded the Hulk Madre on Ren'ai Jiao. According to the scene** released by the Philippine military, Braunardon Island first held talks with the leaders of the island's defenders, held a dinner on the deck, and even raised the national flag.
It is worth noting that the deck of the wrecked ship was covered with a layer of steel plates, which indicates that the deck was significantly reinforced. This may have been done in early June by the Philippine military with the assistance of the US Air Force. It was precisely because the Philippine military forcibly entered Second Thomas Shoal in early June that we tightened our control of Second Thomas Shoal for the next six months. One may be concerned about whether the internal structure of the hull has been reinforced, because if it is not, the hull ship may be sinking for a long time. However, there is no need to worry, as the sinking of the hull depends on the part of the bottom waterline and the part that comes into contact with the seawater. If this part is not reinforced with cement concrete, the foundation of the ship will be unstable, and the entire ship may collapse. However, over the past half year or so, despite several attempts by the Philippines to deliver cement to the island, they have not succeeded due to our blocking. So you don't have to worry about that.
Many people may wonder how the commander-in-chief of the Philippine Army got on board this abandoned shipOn 10 December, it was reported that Philippine forces attempted to force their way into Second Thomas Shoal, but all but one of the ships was able to pass through. Even more than 40 civilian ships and coast guard ships from the Philippines had to return to Palawan due to the arrival of our 052D fleet. Still, some viewers may wonder if my previous report is true. I would like to clarify that what I said is purely based on the official information released by the Philippines and is in no way false. However, the crux of the matter lies in the ship. According to the Manila Times, Philippine Commander-in-Chief Brauner later admitted that we did not know he was hiding on the ship. This act is deeply regrettable and shows the misconduct of the Philippines and the military. Despite this, they claimed that our reports were untrue and even accused us of aggression.
The Philippines even announced that it would "subpoena" our ambassador for our "false remarks". Considering the attitude of the Philippine side, some netizens questioned why we actually controlled the area but did not capture and detain the Philippine army commander aliveIn fact, the lessons of our history tell us that the experience of the Qin state during the Warring States period is deeply enlightening. In the case of the great increase in national strength after the Shang Dynasty's reform, Qin's strategy of long-distance friendship and close attack aroused the jealousy of the other six countries, and this historical story may be able to answer this question. In ancient Chinese history, the Battle of Hangu Pass was a battle of great significance. Other countries united and forcibly broke into Qin's Tianwei Hangu Pass, and launched a stubborn attack on Qin. The war made the Qin aware of the seriousness of the external threat, prompting them to close their borders and concentrate on developing their own strength. However, the appearance of a general named Bai Qi changed the tide of the war.
He successfully defeated the Chu ** team, and even captured Yingdu, the capital of Chu, and burned the ancestral tomb of Chu, forcing Qu Yuan, a writer of Chu, to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river. Despite this, the Qin State did not directly eliminate the Chu State, but chose to restrain its own actions. As time passed, Qin's national power gradually increased and began to expand and expand, covering the other five states, including the old power Qi and the new power Qin. This behavior caused unease in other countries, which led to more countries uniting and jointly crusading against Qin, with Su Qin as prime minister. In the process, King Zhaoxiang of Qin took the initiative to give up his title of Western Emperor to show restraint. Subsequently, the state of Qi also began to swell, and even annexed the state of Song, which made other countries feel great pressure. In that era, the states of Qin and Qi were seen as the most powerful states, while the others were on the back burner.
Against this backdrop, Qin became an object of help and support from other nations, and eventually, along with the other allied forces of the Four Kingdoms, led by Yan general Le Yi, successfully defeated Qi. Le Yi led the army to conquer 72 cities, putting the Qi country in a desperate situation. However, due to Tian Dan's wise decisions and Qin's considerations, Qi was ultimately avoided. In this chaotic period, the contrast of power between Qi and Qin became the focus of attention of other countries, and once one of them expanded, it could trigger threats and crusades from other countries. The wisdom story of the Qin State teaches us that avoiding excessive strife and conflict is a wise choice. Can this story be applied to the current world situation, especially the relations between China and the Philippines, the United States and Israel, and Palestine?If either China and the United States act first and shake the Philippines or Palestine, what will be the consequences?History has given the answer.
Therefore, if we understand the history of the Warring States, we can understand why we should not act rashly, such as arresting the Philippine military leaders. The same applies to international relations in today's world. Note: This article has been very complete and in-depth, so it retains most of the content and ideas of the original text.
