Zhang Yanting: The main battlefield was wrongly chosen, and I don't know the general trend of history
In Taiwan, the dynamics of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) have attracted the attention of all parties, and many people are actively looking for ways to learn the latest information. In some popular channels, the host and guests enthusiastically discussed the topic of the People's Liberation Army, which shows that the Taiwanese people are concerned about the current situation.
In 2021, Chinese mainland military aircraft frequently crossed the "middle line of the strait", and this historical trend cannot be stopped. And patrolling in their own airspace, as a matter of course. But this has touched the sensitive nerves of some people, including Zhang Yanting, former deputy commander of the Taiwan military.
He expressed his opinion on a certain program, which caused heated discussions. In some political programs in Taiwan, the topic of the Continental Army planes cruising in the Taiwan Strait is also often discussed. Zhang Yanting once said that if the mainland drone crossed the "middle line", then it would be shot down.
The host Zhao Shaokang was surprised when he heard it, so he continued to ask: "So what if a manned plane flies over?"”
Zhang Yanting's serious explanation made people laugh, and he joked: "If the military plane releases wheels, it will be a different matter." "If it's not on a political show, many people might mistakenly think they're watching a comedy.
The white-haired guest next to him looked at Zhang Yanting with a confused expression, not knowing where his confidence came from. Zhang Yanting himself was also embarrassed, as a "famous mouth", his ability to cool off the field was amazing.
The fact that he was ignored made him start asking himself questions and continued, "Is this possible?"Of course it's possible!”
Zhang Yanting, a typical "king with a strong mouth", always says hilarious words. Despite his verbal and verbal rhetoric, his experience revealed the fact that he had been a soldier, and even recalled the details of joining the army on a television show.
These interesting stories also made netizens on both sides of the strait laugh. Among them, a Taiwanese netizen ridiculed his words, is it because he ate too many black-hearted pineapples and vegetable pigs, or because he has taken expired vaccines?
In fact, this is not the only time he has a bad mind, perhaps he found that he has become a "** darling", so he began to make more thunderous remarks and try to become an "alternative traffic Internet celebrity".
In another program, he expressed strong support for Chinese mainland: "Future wars will take Chinese mainland as the main battlefield and the Taiwan Strait as the secondary battlefield, and the PLA cannot be allowed to land."
In the event of a conflict, even if victory is achieved, only ruins remain. "Zhang Yanting's thinking is consistent with the thinking of a small group of people, who still adhere to the war thinking of 50 years ago, rather than the thinking of modern war.
In fact, some ordinary people in Taiwan Province have a certain estimate of the situation when interviewed on the streets, and they believe that "the PLA cannot be defeated," "why the PLA did not attack," and "if the PLA uses force, whether the United States will intervene" are the two major questions in their minds.
The concerns of the Taiwanese population are more representative, and those who are impassioned online may know that they will not be personally involved in the fighting, and the concerns of the people are relevant to everyone.
Expectations for the future have been formed unconsciously. In the 21st century, exercises and training are constant, and this powerful psychological cue will always accompany them. Of course, the PLA does not want to cause accidental injury, and the Taiwan issue is an internal issue of China, and naturally there is no need for other countries to interfere.
For those who have a sense of identity, they are also looking forward to that day and ending the uncertainty as soon as possible. If that day does come, most people in Taiwan Province will probably accept reality calmly.
However, a small number of people like Zhang Yanting obviously did not see the general trend of history clearly. Anyone who has studied the history of the Liberation War will understand that the initiative lies in the **.
The tide of history is unstoppable. At the end of 1948, the People's Liberation Army won decisive victories in the three major battles of Liaoshen, Huaihai and Pingjin, and ** and *** keenly foresaw the future direction of the Kuomintang army, that is, to retreat to Taiwan.
The comprehensive victory of the Liberation War is inseparable from the liberation of Taiwan, which is a matter of deep consideration by the great leader, and the Military Commission has also made relevant preparations for the liberation of Taiwan.
As early as February 1949, ** in a meeting with Soviet envoy Mikoyan in Xibaipo, he emphasized: "Taiwan is China's inherent territory, and the remnants of the Kuomintang will withdraw to Taiwan and face us across the sea."
In addition, the Taiwan issue also involves the United States, so it needs to be resolved with more in-depth consideration and time. "The high-ranking generals who rose to prominence in the war also thought strategically about the Taiwan issue.
** In a telegram to Su Yu and Zhang Zhen, he made it clear that he was keenly aware of the importance of "internal and external integration", and that if Shanghai and other places could not be captured for a long time, then these areas would face serious threats.
On October 31, ** emphasized in the deployment of Sanye that the main forces should be placed in the Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Ningbo areas, and that there should be enough troops to prepare to seize Taiwan.
At the Third Plenary Session of the Seventh CPC Central Committee, ** once again reiterated the need to ensure that sufficient forces are used to liberate Taiwan and other places in order to consolidate national defense. At this time, the international situation was full of challenges, and after studying the situation, the Central Military Commission decided to make good preparations for the "Taiwan Campaign" in the shortest possible time, so as to realize the task of liberating the whole of China and complete the reunification of the motherland at an early date.
Since its establishment, China has encountered various difficulties, and the issue of liberating Taiwan has been postponed again and again. ** During his visit to the Soviet Union, he wrote a report on the plan to liberate Hainan in 1950, accumulate experience in sea-crossing operations, and then resolve the Taiwan issue in the second half of the year.
I also support this viewpoint, believing that in the process of liberating Taiwan, we must be liberated except for Taiwan. By April 1950, however, the situation had taken some new turns.
At the time of the purchase of equipment and equipment for the Air Force, he proposed to Stalin that the operational preparations for the seizure of Taiwan would be carried out in 1951.
The original "planned time" disappeared after the outbreak of the Korean War, because there were more urgent tasks at that time. During the Korean War, it was mentioned in the work instructions of the East China Military Region drafted that Taiwan would decide not to attack in 1951, but that it would make a decision in 1952 according to the situation.
Subsequently, ** wrote a letter to Hu Qiaomu, director of the General Information Administration, stressing: After that, we will only talk about attacking Taiwan, and will not mention the specific time. During that period, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) regarded the operations against Kinmen and Zhoushan as actual combat exercises for attacking Taiwan, with the aim of accumulating actual combat experience.
After the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement, ** realized that now was an excellent time to resolve the Taiwan issue. During this time, it was the ** period of Chiang Kai-shek's "dream", and they constantly harassed the coast of the mainland.
In order to resolutely announce to the world the determination to "liberate Taiwan", on September 2, 1954, ** and other important leaders made it clear in a telegram to the leaders of the Soviet Union that China would resolutely liberate Taiwan and safeguard the territorial integrity of the country.
In the new historical stage, the mainland still firmly holds the initiative. Taiwan was Chiang Kai-shek's last refuge, but liberating Taiwan was an inevitable choice of history. With the passage of time, the Taiwan authorities represented by Chiang Kai-shek have become more and more weak and have lost their so-called "initiative."
From the moment they retreated to become "island owners," they had completely lost the opportunity and indulged in American fantasies. As a matter of fact, the victory in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea has fully proved the mainland's initiative.
Although the CMC has been looking for the right moment, for various reasons, the plan has been somewhat affected. The mainland side has been actively promoting relevant preparations and is ready to do so at any time.
After the armistice of the Korean War, Eisenhower** signed the so-called "Mutual Defense Treaty" with the Chiang Kai-shek clique in 1954 in order to continue to contain China. In this regard, ** immediately pointed out that this is a war provocation against the Chinese people.
It turned out that the People's Liberation Army liberated Jiangshan Island and Dachen Island in order to break the shackles of this treaty. In the mid-50s, the United States frequently intervened in Taiwan's affairs, making the Taiwan issue increasingly complex and international.
In order to adapt to this change, the Chinese communists promptly adjusted their Taiwan policy and put forward the idea of peaceful liberation of Taiwan. In the late 70s, the two sides of the strait announced a policy toward peaceful reunification, but they were mainly exchanged in the air and there was no substantive dialogue.
It was not until the Wang-Koo meeting that the two sides of the strait began to have a genuine dialogue, and the idea of peaceful reunification reached a new peak.
At this particular moment,"Ninety-two consensus"Recognized as the most iconic symbol of this stage, it brings a bright prospect of peaceful reunification to all. Later, however, some factors within Taiwan made the situation tense and full of provocations.
Fortunately, Beijing has always maintained a firm strategic stance and looks forward to returning to the track of peaceful reunification after a period of adjustment.
In the past few decades, the Taiwanese people have also witnessed the rapid development of the mainland, and some people feel uncomfortable. The mainland has always maintained the momentum of rapid rise and worked hard to improve itself.
Peaceful reunification and reunification by force are two choices, but reunification is inevitable.
At a time when the situation in the Taiwan Strait is becoming increasingly tense, certain forces in the outside world are trying to incite the mainland to take military action and provoke a war in order to strike at the mainland. In this regard, many experts have pointed out in their analysis that the mainland has always exercised restraint, which fully reflects the mainland's determination to resolve the issue through peaceful means.
Achieving the goal of reunification and peaceful reunification is undoubtedly the most beneficial to the livelihood of the people on both sides of the strait. If "armed reunification" is directly adopted, it will not only be detrimental to China's progress, but will also bring indelible estrangement to the people on both sides of the strait.
Some of the actions taken by the mainland are precisely aimed at achieving reunification by peaceful means at an early date. The mainland resolutely resists and will never compromise on external challenges.
In the face of the complication of the Taiwan Strait issue and the collapse of the situation in the Taiwan Strait, it is doubtful whether external forces really have the courage to start a war. As for the future of Taiwan Province, no one can give a definite answer.
Even if Zhang Yanting and other "celebrities" can't see the situation clearly, not everyone is blind. The Taiwanese people became nervous in one crisis after another, and began to think that once the war broke out, they should flee to **.
Some ** in Taiwan have also announced the location of some evacuation facilities for the public to inquire, but it should be noted that some evacuation facilities are personal property and cannot be entered without permission.
The people have their own scales in their hearts, and the remarks of Zhang Yanting and others can only become a laughing stock. The "China Times" once published an article pointing out that the public military assessment shows that if a war breaks out in the Taiwan Strait, 240,000 military and civilians in Taiwan Province will be killed within a week, which is a shocking figure.
The consequences of war are known to all, and those who play with fire will eventually reap the consequences.
The support rate of the people in Taiwan Province for resisting the war in the Taiwan Strait is only about 20 percent. No matter how external forces try, Taiwan Province will always be part of China and its ties with the mainland are inseparable.
The rhetoric of some people on the island cannot change this fact. Any attempt to separate the two sides and collude with the United States will only bring disaster and calamity to the people of Taiwan Province, and the broad masses of Taiwan compatriots must be vigilant.
Taiwan could have 240,000 deaths in a week, this is the Taiwanese military's assessment of a war in the Taiwan Strait. What is surprising is that the former deputy commander of the Taiwan Air Force said that the Continental Army planes flying over the "center line" may have come to "surrender to sincerity."
These remarks have raised concerns about the situation in the Taiwan Strait.
