According to recent news from Taiwan's United News Network, in the face of the People's Liberation Army's continued military pressure on the Taiwan Strait, Taiwan's main battle units have conducted frequent combat training. The report quoted an informed "legislator" as saying that Taiwan's main battle force continues to lose personnel, with a total shortage of more than 25,000 junior non-commissioned officers and second lieutenants, lieutenants and captains. United News Network quoted informed "legislators" as saying that although Taiwan's defense department claimed that at the end of 2020, the Taiwan military volunteer manpower ratio (that is, the ratio of actual staff to the total estimated number of staff) had reached 90%, but If calculated based on the main battle force, it is not so optimistic. For example, the Taiwan Army, Marine Corps, , and Air Defense and Missile Command currently still have more than 70% of their main battle units failing to meet this standard, and more than 90% of the Taiwan Navy's main battleships have not reached the 90% deployment ratio standard. , and many of the main battle force ratios are less than 70%. Due to frequent battle training and difficulty in recruiting troops, Taiwan's main battle force has never been able to reach the required number of troops.

Since Pelosi visited Taiwan, mainland China has taken tough measures against Taiwan, and the large-scale "island locking" military exercise has achieved many breakthroughs. Now, normalized combat readiness police patrols against Taiwan have been implemented. Under such military pressure, the Taiwan authorities did not want to repent and even attempted to "seek independence by force" after the mainland's large-scale military exercises ended. Not only did the Taiwan authorities once again sign an arms purchase agreement with the United States, they also conducted a number of military exercises targeting the People's Liberation Army's landing, coastal artillery training, missile test launches, etc. Obviously, this is making military preparations for the future liberation war that the mainland may launch against Taiwan. The Taiwan authorities are determined to resist to the end. But it is a pity that the strength it displayed did not scare mainland China, but instead exposed its own reality.

The report mentioned that there is currently a large shortage of more than 25,000 second lieutenants, lieutenants, captain officers and non-commissioned officers in the Taiwan military’s grassroots units. As everyone knows, the "total strength" of the Taiwan military is only 215,000. With an army of more than 200,000, the shortage of grassroots officers has reached 25,000. What kind of organizational and combat effectiveness would such an army have? Moreover, it has not been effectively supplemented. After all, Taiwan has difficulty recruiting troops and it is difficult for the army to have fresh blood to join. This is the kind of Taiwan military that uses force to fight against the mainland and "use force to seek independence." No wonder netizens joked that as soon as the People's Liberation Army lands in Taiwan, the Taiwan military will probably have already practiced the "surrender slogan."

This once again proves that the so-called "use of force to seek independence" by the Democratic Progressive Party authorities is mainly a political slogan, and it does not have this strength militarily. Even if Taiwan can continuously import weapons and equipment from the United States, it will not help. There is no replacement of middle and lower-level officers, it is difficult to recruit soldiers, and no matter how powerful the weapons are, they will not be effective. After all, the weapons must be controlled by someone. No wonder the DPP authorities continue to pay "protection fees" to the United States through arms trade, because their biggest trump card is U.S. interference. It is estimated that Taiwan has never thought of relying on its own strength to resist the mainland. However, whether it is "seeking independence through force" or "seeking independence based on the United States", it is destined to be a dead end. The mainland will never let Taiwan move towards "independence". We will not hesitate to pay any price for this, even if we are fighting against the US and , we will not hesitate.

Judging from the current performance of the United States, it is highly likely that it will not intervene militarily in the Taiwan issue. This can be seen from the fact that the US aircraft carrier stayed away when the mainland was conducting large-scale "island locking" drills. Also, even if the United States wants to intervene, it still has to see whether the People's Liberation Army agrees. In this exercise, mainland China demonstrated its missile precision strike and area denial capabilities. What we are prepared for is interference from countries outside the region, especially the United States. In other words, even if the United States really wants to intervene militarily in the Taiwan issue, China has the ability to block it from the battlefield. What's more, through this exercise, mainland China has broken through Taiwan's so-called "territorial waters and airspace." When it comes to launching a liberation attack on Taiwan, countries outside the region will have no time to respond.

It can be seen that individual individuals on the island and the Democratic Progressive Party authorities frequently exaggerate the so-called "military threat" from the mainland and advocate "strengthening self-defense forces." This is nothing more than a political trick for their own entertainment, in order to fool the Taiwanese people. Provoke cross-strait conflicts. In this regard, we must have sufficient strategic focus, grasp the general trend of the Taiwan issue, and be prepared to deal with all problems as they come. As long as we have the ability to flip the table and reshuffle the cards, Taiwan will not be able to make any waves, and it is destined to return to the embrace of the motherland.
