(Reporters Wang Jionghua and Su Shengyi/Taipei Report) “This week has been the most turbulent time for the situation in the Taiwan Strait!” A senior government aide who had experienced the storm of the Taiwan Strait missile crisis in 1996 described it this way.
From the beginning of the 20-hour whirlwind visit to Taiwan by U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi at 10:43 p.m. on the 2nd, the CCP announced that from the 4th to 10:00 a.m. on the 8th, as a countermeasure, the cross-strait relations were tense. The tight rubber band can be broken at any time. Taiwan is facing the threat of war. Not only is the international community highly concerned, and they are worried that Taiwan will become the second largest in Ukraine, the senior management of our government is always tense and guarding once morest misfires.
A government source revealed that following Pelosi confirmed her visit to Taiwan, President Tsai Ing-wen convened the government and national security teams to conduct sand table deductions for possible situations, and pre-planned possible retaliatory actions by China to take contingency measures. The military also dispatched troops to complete the deployment plan.
On the 3rd, while the Pelosi people were still in Taiwan, China began to act frequently, banning agricultural products, engaging in information security intimidation, and forewarning military exercises. Five major directives, including public and private sector information security protection and stabilization of financial stocks and foreign exchange markets, are committed to maintaining Taiwan’s normal operations. People in the government said that the purpose of these actions is only one, to stabilize the hearts of the people.
Following Pelosi’s transfer to South Korea, the National Army issued an order at 8:00 a.m. on the 4th, and the Army’s combat readiness force was upgraded to a task force. The Navy and Air Force added mobile standby ships and ground warning aircraft. exercise.
According to a national security source, the government’s internal research and judgment shows that the biggest difference between this crisis and the Taiwan Strait crisis in 1996 is that the ground forces of the Communist Army did not change significantly this time. Therefore, it is judged that there is no immediate threat to Taiwan’s security.
This person said, “After the CCP announced the military exercise to encircle Taiwan, considering that Pelosi was visiting Taiwan, President Tsai Ing-wen did not immediately convene a national security meeting or a high-level national security meeting. Adjust the contingency according to the changing situation.”
Although the high-level national security officials suggested that government departments operate as usual, starting from 12:00 on the 4th, on the day when the CCP conducted live-fire military exercises in the 6 districts around the Taiwan Strait, Tsai Ing-wen still sat in the presidential palace all day, so as to keep abreast of the national security units, the Ministry of National Defense and the government. The relevant information from the hospital will be responded immediately; the national security unit has also exchanged information with international allies such as the United States and Japan through video and phone calls to grasp the situation in the Taiwan Strait.
A senior general revealed that the CCP’s military exercises in these six regions have been properly handled by the Chinese military. Although the missiles passed through the sky over Taiwan, the situation was under control. 7 practice areas”.
The general said that during the five hours from the early morning of the 8th to 10:00 when the control was lifted, all units of the National Army were closely watching the radar and reconnaissance information, because they were afraid that the Communist Army would directly launch air or ship fire from the eastern sea. Launch missiles to attack the 7th exercise area.
Why is the 7th exercise area of the Communist Army the most feared situation for the National Army?
It is understood that according to the internal deduction of the national army, even if the CCP launches missiles from the mainland to the 7th exercise area, the long-range early warning radar of the Chinese army in Leshan, Hsinchu, can be grasped at any time. However, if the missile is sent from eastern Taiwan, the Chinese military’s long-range early warning radar system has only the ability to detect and search regarding 210 degrees from North Korea to the South China Sea. If the CCP sends H-6K long-range bombers from the 7th area of the exercise area to launch air-to-ground The Changjian 20 missile, or the missile launched by the Chinese warship from the sea to the land, may be completely beyond the grasp of the Chinese military.
In response to the “dead end of national defense” being broken, a senior general revealed that the National Army deployed the Gide-class warships with the strongest air defense capability in the maritime area in the eastern sea, and the Changbai phase radar that tracked the air also monitored the air conditions in the east throughout the process. In addition, From the followingnoon of the 7th, the long-range early warning radar has also been used to track the CCP’s H-6 and H-6K long-range bombers, which can carry Changjian 20 cruise missiles, as well as the location of air tankers. Extend the endurance of the H-6 aircraft, and launch the Changjian 20 missile at the seventh target area before 10 am on the 8th.
The general further analyzed that the National Army was not afraid that the Communist Army would launch missiles from the mainland to attack my Hualien Jiashan and Taitung Monkey Mountain caves, because the missiles might not accurately blow up my two underground caves following passing through the central mountain range; but On the contrary, if the attack on these two caves is carried out in the eastern sea and airspace, it can be accurately hit, and the final combat command and backup combat power of the national army will be bombed to zero. “Fortunately, in the last five hours, Inside, nothing that the National Army was most worried regarding happened.”
After the live-fire drills of the communist army came to an end, the Ministry of National Defense held a press conference on the followingnoon of the 8th before explaining the situation of the national army in response to the exercises of the communist army. There are even common ships operating off the coast of China’s eastern seas, so the Ministry of National Defense has not lowered our combat readiness level yet, and a senior national security officer said, “The crisis has not yet been resolved.”
