To tell the truth, what strength does French navy use to threaten China? The
signal has been issued, heading straight to China
According to a previous Global Times report, France will launch a joint naval and land military exercise with the United States and Japan on an uninhabited island in Japan in May 2021.
France's participation in this exercise sent an important signal.
That means that the French army wants to show the world free navigation and enhance its influence in the Asia-Pacific region. It also means that France and Japan have reached military cooperation.
For this reason, the Chief of Staff of the French Navy said, "This (military exercise) information is sent to China."
is for China.
Japanese media said that the focus of this exercise is "how to carry out rescue work under natural disasters," but it is clear that this is just an excuse. Z1z
, whether it is a gunboat or a missile, said that this is not a "humanitarian rescue", but a real military exercise.
But does the French Navy really have the power to threaten China?
This is what we need to care about.
The strength of France
For this reason, China's attitude is obviously-"I can't read it back", and it can even be said that this small role is not considered at all.
Let's see how strong France is?
It is undeniable that France has certain advantages in aviation fighters. For example, aero engines, fighter ejection seats, and shipboard command systems are very powerful. China’s current weapons also retain more or less the French industrial technology. shadow.
In recent years, France has also exported advanced technology to China. For example, the turboshaft-16 engine jointly developed by China and France Turbomeca has a power of 1200-1500kw, which is very suitable for Wuzhi-19 and Zhizhi. -20 helicopters of this type.
Let’s talk about the fact that France’s aviation technology is indeed very advanced, and China’s "Taihang" engine was also developed with reference to the French CFM-56 civilian engine technology.
However, with the advancement of Chinese technology, even if the J-20 uses the domestic "Taihang" engine, it can compete with the "Rafale" fighter, and the gap is reflected.
It is obvious that France's overall military industry has begun to lag far behind China.
Due to the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the easing of its own military demand, the advanced technology accumulated by France from the last century began to be abandoned after the Cold War. In order to survive, related military enterprises have also begun to switch careers.
It can be said that today's French industry has been "grabbing the old".
As for other aspects, such as the Navy, it has completely lost its development momentum. Due to inadequate technology, although the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier is called a "nuclear powered" aircraft carrier, its " nuclear powered " is developed from nuclear submarine technology and is completely a small horse-drawn cart-it can't run.
In view of the Chinese Navy’s continuous "dumpling" in recent years, the tonnage of the newly launched warship even exceeds the total tonnage of the French Navy. Such a wide development gap makes France simply not have the qualifications and strengths comparable to China.
be wary of enemies who have crossed the "red line"
Why does France participate in this US-Japan joint military exercise?
Some people speculate that this is mostly related to the US Asia-Pacific policy.
Earlier, Britain has stated that it will send the "Queen Elizabeth" to the Asia-Pacific for cruise.
Not only that, the United States is inviting more "allies" to participate in the "blockade" of China.
At the call of the United States, another country has joined the cruise.
Japanese media previously announced that German Defense Minister Karen Bauer publicly stated in an interview that in order to strengthen cooperation between the United States, Japan, Australia and other countries, Germany plans to dispatch a frigate to the Asia-Pacific region for patrol missions in the near future.
Although the Minister of Defense did not make any more comments on this, the Japanese mediaIt is generally believed that Germany has begun to stand in line, and this is regarded as an important signal for Germany to join the "Containment Alliance".
Britain and France have already wandered through the muddy water, and now there is another Germany.
The attitude of Germany, especially the German media, is well-known in the industry as "anti-China" sentiment is high.
Therefore, relevant military experts believe that this is a clear statement that Germany wants to join the "blockade against China".
In September, the German government announced a new Asia-Pacific foreign policy, the "Indo-Pacific-Guidelines". It can be seen that in the future, Germany hopes to develop in-depth cooperation with certain countries in the region, such as ASEAN , Japan, Australia, India and other countries.
Germany has always been cautious about military operations outside Europe. This is the first time it has intervened in China's sensitive waters. It is really rare.
Germany is far from the Indo-Pacific region. It is logical to say that sending warships here is a waste of time and money. I am afraid that Germany has other plans, such as to please the United States and win the favor of the next government.
So, in fact, it can be seen that Germany is actually uncertain about the external situation and feels uneasy about it, so it wants to "show off its muscles" and highlight its own military presence.
But to be honest, Germany's military strength may not be as good as France. Anyhow, France can still "gnaw a bit".
However, as a veteran power country and a European giant, Germany's team can be regarded as showing its official attitude.
In addition, Karen Bauer also stated that the NATO organization also needs to play an "active role" in the Indo-Pacific region, and after the reorganization of the US government in January next year, Germany also needs to strengthen cooperation with the Biden administration. .
Germany's threat to China, I believe China is still not worthy of attention.
However, it is not a good thing for European and American countries to gather in the Asia-Pacific region, and special attention is needed.
In short, prepare for the worst, be alert to these enemies who are trying to "cross the red line", and give them a fatal blow!
