At 11:20 a.m. capital time on the 22nd, the Ministry of Defense of the South Philippine State received information that the patrol ship Del Bilal had been sunk by many parties. South Philippine Defense Minister Gazmin immediately sent two old reconnaissance planes to the area to inspect the scene, and sent two additional patrol ships to investigate the incident and participate in rescue operations. At 3 p.m. capital time, Achino presided over an emergency meeting attended by Foreign Minister Del Rosario, Defense Minister Gasmin, Deputy Minister of Defense Escu Etafe, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, Lieutenant General Emmanuel Pautista, Commander of the South Philippine Navy, and Director of the National Bureau of Investigation, Rojas, to discuss countermeasures.
"Based on the feedback from the reconnaissance aircraft and the recording of the call of Captain Rosat on the official ship of the Coast Guard, and the analysis of all the information we have at our disposal, this is not a simple incident of armed conflict," said Gasmin, who first gave a brief briefing to the participants. It was supposed to be a premeditated armed attack on our country, and they took advantage of the fact that our side fired first and put us at a disadvantage. The Chinese government's stance on the islands and territorial waters has become more and more assertive in recent times, and friction between China and China will inevitably increase. What action the Chinese government will take next is the focus of our close attention. Our military strength cannot be compared with that of China, and how to deal with China's aggression has become our top priority. ”
Foreign Minister Del Rosario followed up on Gasmin's words: "I have instructed the ambassador to China to lodge a serious protest with China and to explain what happened today. As for what kind of diplomatic measures we will take next, we must have a general guideline and policy that will be followed by the foreign affairs departments. However, responding by military means is a step that we must take, and the Chinese Government's brazen use of missiles and torpedoes to launch a surprise attack on China's warships in defiance of the condemnation of the whole world is already an act of waging war. I believe that China should invite the government of the United States to send troops to assist in the defense of Scarborough Shoal under the framework of the "Miffy Security Treaty." Repatriate Chinese in the Philippines, leave the country within a time limit, freeze China's state-owned assets in the Philippines, and completely ban China's business activities in the Philippines. ”
Lieutenant General Emmanuel Bautista, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the South Philippines, continued: "The war has begun, and we are facing an opponent who is militarily powerful Chinese troops, and our naval and air forces are powerless to stop the attacks of the Chinese navy and air force. I very much agree with Foreign Minister Del Rosario inviting the US military to assist in the defense of the South Philippines, but whether to ban China's commercial activities in the Philippines, I am a layman in this regard, and let the economic department discuss it. "Pautista left economic issues out of the agenda of this discussion. His family had a lot of economic dealings with China, and he didn't want his family to suffer a major financial loss.
He continued: "At this stage, our army can only adopt a passive defensive strategy, and I propose to activate the Orange War Mobilization Plan and realize temporary military control throughout the country." and restart negotiations on Miffy's lease of a military base, and complete relevant steps as soon as possible to ensure the security of South Philippine territory. ”
Vice Admiral Parma, commander of the Navy, added: "From the performance of the weapons used by China in this attack, it can be seen that this is the latest generation of submarine-launched anti-ship torpedoes in China, and the power of this torpedo is amazing, and a ship with a displacement of 4,500 tons can blow it to pieces with a single torpedo, which shows that the warhead of the torpedo is not a conventional explosive, but a new type of ultra-high-power explosive." There are more than 140 conventional submarines of various types in China. If all of them are equipped with this new type of torpedo, there will be a great increase in combat effectiveness. I'll tell you the truth, without the help and support of the U.S. military, our navy wouldn't have lasted an hour. Don't be discouraged, it's a fact. Therefore, I believe that the Mimi side should be immediately informed of today's incident. I asked for public opinion and military support. ”
President Achino looked gloomy, this military conflict is the biggest test and danger he has encountered in his political career, a mishandling will cause him to lose the support of the people, how to deal with it is an important and urgent issue before him, whether the answer is qualified or not, whether the public will support him and the party he represents in the future elections.
He does not dare to take this matter lightly, and must deal with it with all his might, and cannot give the opposition party and other families a blow to him. The bigwigs of all parties attending the meeting were in favor of a hard-line policy toward China. Although he knew the dangers and risks, he had no choice.
At 11:30 a.m. capital time on the 22nd, and at 22:30 a.m. Washington time on the 21st. David Petraeus, director of the CIA of the United States, received classified information from the National Reconnaissance Bureau of the United States that at 21:07 Washington time on the 21st, a Z-9C helicopter of the Chinese military sank two South Philippine warships in the waters of Scarborough Shoal. Reus immediately reported to President O'Dark Horse. O'Dark Horse felt that the matter was important, and convened a consultation meeting attended by important military figures such as Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey. After the meeting, President O'Dark Horse ordered the Seventh Fleet to assemble in the direction of the South China Sea and wait for orders. At the same time, it will negotiate with the Philippine side on the issue of borrowing naval and air military bases. The Mimi side also held a press conference at 8 a.m. Washington time on the 22nd and 21 o'clock capital time on the 22nd, saying that the Mimi government will pay close attention to the development of the situation, and expressed concern about the exchange of fire in the South China Sea, hoping that the two sides will exercise restraint. At the same time, it clarifies the obligations of the Mi-Fi side in the Mmi-Fino Security Treaty. It was reported that the Seventh Fleet would go to the western Pacific to carry out temporary missions.
At 5 p.m. capital time, the Ministry of National Defense of the South Philippines held a press conference to inform reporters of the sinking of two Philippine warships and official ships by the Chinese military near Scarborough Shoal. He also lodged a strong protest with the Chinese side, demanding that the Chinese side severely punish the murderers and compensate the Philippine side for its losses.
At 18 o'clock on the 22nd, the Chinese embassy in the Philippines began to focus on the crowd of protesters. At 7 p.m., the crowd of protesters reached a peak, and the protesting Filipino youths were so angry that they began to burn the Chinese flag and throw stones and Molotov cocktails into the embassy. At the same time, a large number of young people braved the night to hold huge demonstrations in major cities in the Philippines, which lasted until late at night, and eventually turned into large-scale violent incidents, and there were incidents of smashing, looting, and raping of women in all parts of South Philippine Province, and more than 110 shops and houses were burned down after the fact, of which more than half were Chinese shops and residences. More than 900 people were injured, including more than 700 Chinese, and three Chinese women were killed, and 28 people were killed, including 15 Chinese.
At 8 a.m. on the 23rd, China held another press conference to lodge a strong protest against the Philippine attack on the Chinese embassy and smashing, robbing and raping Chinese nationals, demanding that the Philippine side fulfill international treaties, earnestly protect the security of the embassy, and compensate the embassy for its economic losses. He also said that the possibility of armed evacuation of overseas Chinese could not be ruled out.
South Philippine President Achino took the opportunity to declare a state of emergency and temporarily impose martial law control. The national armed Liliang has entered an orange state of alert. The situation in the South China Sea is tense, and neighboring countries have also declared a state of combat readiness.
On the 23rd, the "South Philippine Star" published a commentator's article "Where Does China Want to Take Southeast Asia?", in which he did his best to slander China, comparing China to a troublemaker in Asia, and an unstable factor in Southeast Asia, describing it as a rogue state that is reckless in military force and oppresses the weak. The "South Philippine Daily Inquirer" published an article entitled "China Fired the First Shot at China: The Outbreak of War" in black and white depicts Chinese fighters chasing Philippine warships and firing missiles at them, killing more than 200 officers and men of the ship. and dispatched submarines to launch torpedo attacks on unarmed official ships. He called on the people of the Philippines to unite to resist aggression from China. The official media such as the Nan Filipino Daily have also tried their best to incite national sentiment and become the vanguard of anti-China and anti-China eagerness. In the article, he pointed out that we need the United States and the protection of the "Miffy Security Treaty", and called on the people to support the leasing of the Subic naval and air military base to the United States.
The Washington Post pointed out that the Chinese government agencies seem to be functioning normally, but what is it doing? It seems to be a war machine. But the question is, who is running it, and what is the purpose of running it?
The "New Dan Times" even brazenly stated that China's ambition to dominate Asia is inflated, and that Asia is the Asia of Asians, which seriously threatens the interests of the United States in the Pacific. It is time for us to live up to our obligations under the Philippine Security Treaty.
The "DPRK News" published a headline entitled "The Lion of China Shows Its Sharp Claws," pointing out that China has taken advantage of the rapid development of the national economy to vigorously develop and equip high-tech weapons, posing a serious threat to Asian countries. The two new weapons used by the Chinese army in this incident have upset the balance of military power in Asia and even Shijie, which is a very dangerous signal.
In line with the ultra-rightist militarist thinking, the Japanese "Reading and Buying News" published "Where Is the Way Out for the Japanese People?" in which it strongly advocated the United States to resist China and called on the Japanese people to agree to amend the constitution and exercise the right of collective self-defense.
The "North Russian Pravda" made a pertinent comment on the incident, pointing out that the Philippine side first opened fire on a Chinese fishing boat, and that the Chinese military's action to protect its own people was a legitimate defense and was understandable.
The "Beichao Daily" commented that this was a righteous action against imperialism and rice and its lackeys, and that the proletariat of the whole Shijie should unite. Overthrow the imperialist rule of Shijie.
The situation in Shijie is turbulent, and Woo Star is filled with the first shot of rage and provokes the scenery to be infinite.
