There is one thing, although more than 10 days have passed, there are still many unsolved truths.
On January 25, at the regular press conference of the Ministry of National Defense, the spokesman suddenly mentioned one thing.
Recently, the Eastern Theater of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) has organized routine joint combat readiness patrols of naval and air forces in the sea and air space around Taiwan Island to further enhance the level of actual combat training of the troops.
The People's Liberation Army's combat readiness patrols on Taiwan Island are carried out almost every day, and there are more and fewer fighters participating in the operation, but there are not many cases when they are taken out alone.
Taiwan's defense department, which has always reacted "quickly," has been silent on this matter, but we have spoken out first. Why did they hide this matter, and what happened in the Taiwan Strait that day?
After Lai Qingde "won" the election on January 13 and became Tsai Ing-wen's successor, both in some speeches and actions were extremely arrogant and high-profile.
He has met with three U.S. delegations, including the former U.S. delegation, the U.S. Congressman delegation, and the U.S. business delegation.
I also met with a delegation from Japan and a delegation from Lithuania.
Before Lai Qingde officially took office, he began to "plan the route, which is an extremely dangerous direction of development."
Therefore, Taiwan's defense department has indeed predicted that Lai Ching-te's provocation may trigger the PLA to make big moves in the Taiwan Strait in the future.
As the PLA fighters get closer and closer to the island, if the location of the fighters is truthfully marked, it may cause panic on the island, and the use of "covering" to cover up the truth seems to reduce the impact on the atmosphere on the island.
As a result, on 16 July, Taiwan's defense department went so far as to overhaul the annotation method of the "dynamic schematic map of the airspace in the Taiwan Strait," which had been used for several years.
The new version of the legend removes the detailed description of the PLA's actions in the Taiwan Strait, including the types of aircraft involved and the specific track locations.
You don't know what kind of planes the PLA is coming?How far did you fly from Taiwan Island again?
Coincidentally, this "folding" method will cover up the specific details of the PLA's real "naval and air joint combat exercise" in the Taiwan Strait the next day (January 17).
So what exactly was the main action of the People's Liberation Army in the Taiwan Strait on the 17th, which was covered up by Taiwan's defense department?And what are the actual details?
It is no longer possible to grasp more detailed and accurate information from the above dynamic diagram alone.
This schedule has collected relevant information again, and the conclusion is that the PLA's operation on Taiwan Island on 17 July was an extremely unusual exercise of "switching from training to combat" and was an actual combat test of the military system on the island.
First of all, let's look at the dynamic diagram provided by the first defense department.
Judging from the picture released by Taiwan's defense department, it is obvious that 19 fighters have entered the Taiwan Strait, 10 of which have entered the so-called "center line."
In other words, 10 fighters participated in the core of this actual combat exercise.
However, according to the map provided by Taiwan's defense department, the fact is that the specific actions of the PLA aircraft and ships on that day were not presented according to the actual situation.
If our spokesman had not mentioned the "joint combat readiness patrol of naval and air forces around Taiwan Island," then this targeted joint action would have been deliberately filtered out by the Taiwan authorities.
The fact is that, according to the reports of some Taiwan media, a considerable number of fighters and ** concentrated on "raiding" Taiwan Island in a short period of time that day, and almost all the radars on the island were activated, and the high-level command personnel of the Taiwan military had already entered the Hengshan command post.
According to the statement of the officers and soldiers on the front line of Taiwan, they are "crazy".
Facts**
The specific process is that on the afternoon of the 17th, the PLA large aircraft group attacked the Taiwan Strait again.
Taiwan's defense department thought that this was still a normal operation of the PLA, but the 10 fighters that passed through the "center line" did not move sideways or turn back.
Instead, it suddenly began to rapidly assault Taiwan from the central and northern parts of the island.
According to the indication of Taiwan's defense department, the fighter plane was 42 nautical miles away from Keelung in the northern part of Taiwan Island when it was closest, but this sign must have been faked.
You must know that if the fighter plane had crossed the center line of the strait at that time, it would have been only more than 100 kilometers away from Taiwan Island, and with an accelerated assault, it would have been possible to reach Taiwan Island in just a few minutes, so there was a high probability that the fighter plane had "broken through" 24 nautical miles or even 12 nautical miles in the northern part of Taiwan Island at that time.
And since this is a joint combat assault exercise of the sea and air, PLA warships are also cooperating with each other on the surface part.
At that time, the PLA warship entered the eastern part of Taiwan Island, and some Taiwan media said in vague terms that it had entered 24 nautical miles at that time.
Therefore, the fact is that the fighter and the ** have already broken through into the so-called 24 nautical miles that day.
It is precisely this situation that makes it possible for the Taiwan military to form a comprehensive early warning mode, and the command personnel are so nervous that they enter the Hengshan command post.
Therefore, 17 January is tantamount to a military test of actual combat on the island.
Now the facts of the hole cards of the entire Taiwan military have been clearly presented.
The results proved that whether it was 24 nautical miles or 12 nautical miles, the Taiwan military did not dare to "shoot the first shot" at all.
Its practical significance is that assuming that military action is taken against Taiwan at present, neither the Taiwan military's combat strength nor will will support a frontal confrontation with the PLA at the first opportunity.
Regardless of military strength, even in terms of will, it was fundamentally affected by the coming to power of the "independent poison" combination composed of Lai Qingde and Xiao Meiqin, the puppets of the United States.
Feng Shikuan, head of Taiwan's defense department, once shouted that he would not fight for "**", but now it seems that this will become a basic understanding of the Taiwan military at present.
So, simply from a military point of view, will we wait until Lai Ching-te comes to power and cultivate a bunch of non-commissioned officers in the Taiwan military who are willing to fight for the "**" before taking military action?
Therefore, Lai Qingde will not be given this opportunity.
