The most discussed person on the island recently is the former Lianhua Electronics Dong Zuo Cao Xingcheng.
On August 5, during the People's Liberation Army's training in Taiwan, he threatened to donate 100 million US dollars (about 3 billion New Taiwan dollars) to the "Taiwan Army" to assist in strengthening the education of the "Taiwan Army".
Since Cao Xingcheng only mentioned the amount at the moment, but did not explain the usage, and according to Taiwan's laws, private funds cannot be directly transferred to the "Taiwan Army", so Cao Xingcheng added the purpose of his funds at a press conference on September 1.
He said at a press conference that NT$600 million is used for civilian defense training, and 3 million civilian warriors who actively assist in regional defense will be trained within three years (called Black Bear Warriors).
NT$400 million is trained to train more than 300,000 folk sharpshooters (called Baoxiang sharpshooters). The two plans of
are to make the island "all people are soldiers" and become the basis for "anti-China and Taiwan".
at first glance is quite passionate and very serious. Especially for some "Taiwan independence" elements, this is the first time someone has truly proposed a specific "plan". After all, whether politicians shouted "Taiwan independence" or "anti-China and Taiwan", they were just a slogan after all, and no one has ever specifically said what to use to "anti-China and Taiwan".
The most planned statement that politicians once said was probably Su Zhenchang's "one soldier, one soldier" and "with a broom to fight against it", such a slang-free statement.
According to the Taiwan Popular Foundation in May, the Tsai administration has made a poll on whether there is a conflict between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. More than 50% of the Taiwanese people believe that the Tsai administration is not prepared.
So this "anti-China" pie depicted by Director Cao is still very attractive to "Taiwan independence". At least this gives them a "direction".
Especially this plan, named after the animal "black bear" unique to Taiwan, is a special emotion for the people on the island, and also makes many "Taiwan independence" want to take advantage of the popularity of Director Cao and regard themselves as "black bear warriors" in various political commentary programs.
But although the big cake is fragrant, it must be in line with reality before it can be implemented. The first thing that Director Cao’s plan is: there is not enough money.
.6 billion NTD raised 3 million militias, which means that the training cost for each person is NTD 200 (about 45 yuan). In Taipei, at most, you will lose two box lunches. How to implement it specifically? Gather people together, gather in the morning, train until after dinner, and then become a "Black Bear Warrior"? I’m afraid that most people won’t participate in this training for two lunch boxes.
and 400,000 magic shooters are even more ridiculous. The average price of each person is NT$1,333 (about 296 RMB). Not to mention the price of the gun itself, the price of T91 combat rifle bullets used by the mainstream "Taiwan Army" is about NT$6.1 per round. No matter how much you make a full calculation, it will probably be overspent for each person. After , you want to become a sharpshooter after 300 rifle bullets are fired. I am afraid it is a bit of a loss.
What's more, the price, maintenance, and consumption of the gun itself have not been calculated yet. In this way, how to raise 300,000 magic shooters?
The second problem that Director Cao has to face is the issue of military source.
Considering that militias are soldiers, they should not be too old. According to civil affairs units, the population of 20 to 40 in Taiwan is about 6.4 million, which is the total number of men and women. If only males are counted, The 3 million militias are almost 90% of men aged 20 to 40 must participate in this militia plan. Even if men and women are all collected, it is still half of the young and middle-aged people in the entire Taiwan region.
Let half of the young and middle-aged people on the island conduct military training. How could the industries on the island be suspended?
The third problem is the effectiveness of training.
How to concentrate personnel, train effectively, and stimulate morale, Director Cao probably won’t consider it, right?
Not to mention anything else, the current basic training of the "Taiwan Army" and the regular "teaching and calling" system (the retired veterans draw lots back to the battalion to conduct military training) have been often criticized by the people as wasting everyone's lives. So who should train this militia? If the "Taiwan Army" is still responsible for training, wouldn't it just for more people to waste time together?
If Americans provide training, it may be useful, but this returns to the first question: there is not enough money!
Although Cao Xingcheng's plan is unrealistic, it is still strategically referenced and is in line with the interests of the United States.
Assuming that there is a conflict between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and the 3 million Black Bear Warriors and 300,000 Baoxiang Shooters can indeed delay the progress of the People's Liberation Army to the greatest extent after entering the street fighting. The United States condemns China on the basis of public opinion war, confiscates Chinese foreign exchange reserves, and then freezes Taiwan's foreign exchange reserves on the grounds of protecting Taiwan. In this way, the United States has consumed its strength without any effort and "legitimately" obtains hundreds of millions of dollars.
Of course, at this stage, Cao Xingcheng's big cake cannot be realized by the population and funds on the island. Cao Xingcheng's two sons are also in the United States. If the two sides of the Taiwan Strait really start fighting, Cao Xingcheng is probably one of the first important people to flee to the United States.
