"Rejecting reunification by force" is a dream that "Taiwan independence" elements have always had. Driven by this sinful "dream", the Taiwan military has developed many so-called advanced weapons, such as the Thunder 2000 rocket launcher.
According to Taiwanese media reports, at noon on June 20, a Thunder 2000 rocket launcher vehicle of the Taiwan military suddenly exploded during a drill, causing a fire and the launch vehicle was instantly destroyed.
In the propaganda caliber of the Taiwan authorities, the Thunder 2000 is a multiple rocket launcher independently developed by the Taiwan military. It can be equipped with a multi-purpose launcher and has powerful ground attack capabilities.
But in fact, this rocket launcher was developed in 1997 and was only officially delivered in 2012. It uses German trucks and American generators. The core components of are basically purchased from outsourcing.
More importantly, the improved range of the rocket launcher is only about 100 kilometers, and the maximum range of the ordinary version is only about 45 kilometers. If there is a war between the two sides in the future, weapons of this level are unlikely to cause any substantial harm to the People's Liberation Army.
And as far as the Taiwan military's air defense capabilities are concerned, these rocket launchers are very likely to be destroyed in the first wave of attacks and turned into a pile of scrap metal. There is no doubt that using weapons of this level to resist the reunification of the motherland is completely childish.
However, such weapons are already relatively advanced weapons that the Taiwan authorities can obtain now. In fact, most of the weapons sold to Taiwan by the United States, France and other Western countries are of this level.
However, once people enter a certain kind of dream, it is difficult to wake up. "Rejecting reunification with force" is an anesthetic for the "Taiwan independence" elements. They do not want to and cannot wake up from this state.
Not only that, they also imagine that they can have higher-level weapons, such as nuclear weapons .
As early as April this year, some scholars on the island gave advice to the Taiwan military, claiming that Taiwan should develop nuclear weapons to fight the People's Liberation Army, and even boldly stated that they could achieve the goal of "nuclear possession" within 3-4 months.
If it is common sense to use rocket launchers against the People's Liberation Army, then asking the Taiwan military to develop nuclear weapons is a complete fantasy.
Strategic weapons such as nuclear weapons are definitely not something that the Taiwan military can touch. Not to mention whether they have such capabilities, even if they do develop less powerful nuclear weapons, it will directly touch the bottom line of mainland China and the international community. This is the highest level of death-seeking behavior by "Taiwan independence" elements.
At that time, the People's Liberation Army will take decisive action to eliminate these "bad apples." Of course, possessing nuclear weapons is only the wishful thinking of a very small number of "separatists".
It can be clearly seen from the rocket explosion accident in this exercise that the current Taiwan military cannot even skillfully use such low-level weapons and equipment, let alone nuclear weapons.
However, the "Taiwan independence" people on the island still have two major illusions, or two self-comforts.
First of all, they imagine that if the mainland uses force, the Taiwan military will be able to delay the People's Liberation Army from landing on the island. They even imagine that the Taiwan military will cause heavy casualties to the People's Liberation Army and force the People's Liberation Army to abandon its combat objectives, which is what they often say "rejecting reunification with force." ".
Secondly, they imagine that after the People's Liberation Army uses force, the Taiwan military can hold on for a few more days and wait for the arrival of the U.S. aircraft carrier , which is the so-called "standby for assistance."
But both of these ideas are typical of a lack of IQ. That the Taiwan military can hold back the People's Liberation Army is an illusion made by "Taiwan independence" elements based on the comparison of cross-strait military power 20 years ago.
But now the cross-strait military power has long been out of balance. At that time, the core equipment of the mainland navy was four "modern-class" destroyers imported from Russia, but now they have become yesterday's news.
The People's Liberation Army now has three aircraft carriers, the "dumpling-like" 075 amphibious assault ship and 055 large destroyer, as well as an insanely growing number of J-20, J-16 and underwater submarines. If really wants to take action, Taiwan will The time the military can "hold on" will probably be measured in hours.
In addition, the idea of "sticking and waiting for help" is also stupid. It is clear to the outside world what the U.S. government is planning. They keep clamoring to "support Taiwan," but in fact they only use the Taiwan authorities as pawns to cause trouble for mainland China.
At present, the strength of the People's Liberation Army is increasing rapidly every day, and the United States has been evaluating the pros and cons of interfering in the situation in the Taiwan Strait. Once they find that the gains outweigh the losses, they will inevitably speed up their escape from this place of right and wrong.
How can they be sincere about "Taiwan independence" when they even betray Britain, which they share the same culture and ethnicity?
To put it bluntly, the forces on both sides of the Taiwan Strait have actually been engaged in a long-term game. As the mainland's determination to "take Taiwan" remains unchanged, "Taiwan independence" must figure out its own way out.
But it is obvious that the methods they think of are unreliable. For them, there is only one real way out, and that is to stop confrontation with the mainland, give up their criminal proposition of "Taiwan independence," and promote peaceful reunification across the Taiwan Strait.
Any other path will become their dead end. In Chinese history, those who collude with foreign forces and betray the interests of the nation have never had a good end, and "Taiwan independence" elements will not be an exception.
