The Philippines is not far from China in Southeast Asia, and in the past few years, it has been illegally emphasizing maritime issues, touting our inherent territory as its facilities, and even trying to build infrastructure on a large scale. In particular, the landing ship USS Sierra Madre, which has been damaged on Ren'ai Shoal for 24 years, has not given up and hopes to hype up the ship, further strengthen it, and start new construction.
According to CNN, the Philippines has passed a bill to invest 100 million pesos in 2024 to build a new fixed facility in the Ren'ai Jiao area, hoping to make the landing ship Sierra Madre, which has been docked for 24 years, more stable. This matter is being planned, and they even want to further expand their military presence on Ren'ai Jiao.
According to the current scheme, there are two kinds, the first is to reinforce directly on the landing ship Sierra Madre. The second is to build a small wharf on the reef to achieve the purpose of long-term existence on the reef, but this idea is no different from daydreaming, because we have already strengthened the regular patrol of the reef.
Now that China's coast guard has started the all-weather first warning, it is completely impossible to carry out infrastructure construction on Ren'ai Jiao Island in a big way, even if it is to send supplies to damaged ships docked on Ren'ai Jiao Island, it is also our humanitarian facilitation. However, they did not accept our kindness, and even wanted to further strengthen the warship by carrying private goods. Now that we have more stringent inspections in this area, it is almost impossible to dress up as fishermen and other special groups to deliver some reinforced facilities.
As the frequency of our patrols increased, the Philippines began to show anxiety, and they organized more and more frequent supply deliveries, once or twice a month. Although he would touch a nose every time, he still didn't want to stop, because the warships on Ren'ai Jiao Island had reached the point where they were about to disintegrate.
If the erosion of the wind and waves at sea continues, and there is no targeted reinforcement, it will completely disintegrate, which is why they are anxious and hope to be able to strengthen it as soon as possible. Therefore, there were measures to ram our interceptor ships, and there were also measures to penetrate through the defense with the cooperation of a large number of fishermen. We also volunteered to provide water cannons to stop it, but they were blistered and wanted to deliver supplies.
We have endured the convenience of passing them for more than 20 years, and they have not paid any attention to these kindnesses, so we really need some tough actions in the future to let them know what the real truth is. We have now 11 ships inside Second Thomas Shoal, a scene that has never been seen before. It is to tell the Philippines that it has lost hope in what they are doing, and will take coercive measures to come to the warship or get rid of this broken ship in the region.
Judging from our current interception efforts, water cannon jets and hull strikes may become the norm in the future. If we carry out such a bottomless provocation, I believe that the speed at which we tow away this broken ship or directly fill the island will be even faster, and it will be too late to deal with it at that time.
