Yang Wenbin, who has experienced the tense life at the grassroots level, cherishes the days and nights of studying at the military academy.

Every day, I have a full schedule, after all, it is a rare opportunity to have a large chunk of time to study, recharge, and study.

Every year, the Military History major of the Academy of Military Science recruits only two people, and it can be said that they can have the opportunity to be admitted, which can be described as one in a thousand.

However, since last week, in accordance with the summer of the Unification Department of the Military Commission, the academy has carried out "warning" education, from generals to soldiers, from professors to cadets, everyone must participate, and no one is missed.

Through holding a "work conference on covert struggle" and watching a "propaganda film on the special topic of covert struggle," we have urged organs at all levels of the army to adopt strict measures to do the work of "countering infiltration, countermeasures, and theft of secrets" in a deep, meticulous, down-to-earth, and effective manner, so as to ensure the security of the organs of the leadership, key parts, and core secrets.

The reason, it is said, is that spies appeared in the top echelons of the army, which caused huge losses to the party and the state, and even affected the process of national reunification.

The origin of the matter has to start from four years ago.

In the mid-90s, the then president of country M, under pressure from pro-Taiwan forces in Congress, allowed Li Deshu, the leader of the Taiwan authorities, to visit country M, and Lee took the opportunity to openly advocate "Taiwan independence" in country M. In order to warn Li Deshu not to insist on going his own way, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) immediately conducted military exercises in the Taiwan Strait.

In the early fifties, after the defeat in the Kinmen operation, the People's Liberation Army regrouped and made careful preparations for the liberation of Taiwan.

However, due to the outbreak of the Korean War and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, China had to shift its attention from the southeast coast to the northeast frontier.

After the end of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the central authorities further put forward the slogan of striving for the peaceful liberation of Taiwan.

In March 1955, after the US-Taiwan Mutual Defense Treaty came into effect, the government of country M stepped up military assistance to Taiwan while stepping up efforts to create two Chinas.

Beginning in 1957, a series of events led to renewed tensions in the Taiwan Strait and Sino-US relations.

First, the United States sent Matador missile units to Taiwan Island. Second, the Taiwan authorities convened the Eighth National Congress to continue to emphasize the counteroffensive and stationed one-third of their total troops on Kinmen, Matsu, and other coastal islands, thus intensifying their harassment of the mainland.

In particular, in 1958, the authorities on the island of Taiwan ordered all troops to be put on special alert and held military exercises for several days, citing the explosive situation in the Middle East, and country M also ordered the Seventh Fleet stationed in the Pacific region to enter a state of combat readiness. In this way, the situation in the Taiwan Strait has also become tense.

Against this background, the CPC Central Committee has decided to once again raise the Taiwan issue by bombarding Kinmen.

Beginning on August 23, 1958, the Fujian front-line units of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) were ordered to carry out a large-scale artillery bombardment of Kinmen, with ground artillery as the mainstay, and the air force and navy conducting joint combat operations.

The shelling of Kinmen went through two phases: a total blockade and a stop-and-stop operation.

After the large-scale shelling stopped, the party Central Committee asked someone to send a message to the leaders of Taiwan Island saying that as long as Chiang's father and son could resist country M, we could cooperate with him, and that Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu would come back in their entirety, that they could live in their original ways, and that the army could be preserved.

As long as Taiwan is returned to the motherland, all other issues will be handled in a respectful manner with respect for the views of the Taiwan leader. After Taiwan's return to the motherland, except for foreign affairs, which must be unified with the central authorities, all military and political personnel arrangements will be handled by the leaders of Taiwan Island. All military and political powers, and the insufficient amount of military and administrative and construction expenses shall be allocated by the central government; Taiwan's social reform can be carried out slowly, when conditions are ripe, and the opinions of Taiwan's leaders should be respected and decided through consultation. The two sides agreed not to send people to undermine each other's unity.

After some contests, the party Central Committee held that the Taiwan issue was still to be observed and tested, and that it was still far from the time for a settlement, and that since then, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait have basically been in a state of confrontation without war or peace.

In the 70s, as Sino-Soviet relations deteriorated to hostility, and country M began to demand the restoration of Sino-US relations due to the need for hegemony between M and S.

With the secret visit to China by Kissinger, the special envoy of the president of country M, country M recognizes that Taiwan belongs to China and does not support Taiwan independence or two Chinas, but hopes that the Taiwan issue will be resolved peacefully.

In the Sino-US communique, the US side said that the United States recognizes that all Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Strait believe that there is only one China and that Taiwan Island is a part of China, and the government of country M does not object to this position.

After reform and opening up, Deng Xiaoping, the party's third-generation leader, put forward the great idea of "one country, two systems" on the Taiwan issue.

At the same time, the leaders of Taiwan Island held secret talks with the mainland and peace talks in Singapore, and reached the consensus of '92, which is one China, each with its own expression.

At the same time, Taiwan has opened up some restrictions on separating family members from both sides of the strait and visiting relatives on the mainland, and a good situation of easing cross-strait relations has emerged.

In particular, with the Sino-British negotiations, the smooth settlement of the Hong Kong issue, the Sino-Portuguese negotiations, and the Macao issue, the urgent settlement of the Taiwan issue has been put on the agenda.

However, after the death of Chiang Ching-kuo, after Li Deshu, as vice president, consolidated his power, he began to betray the 92 consensus.

In particular, during this visit to M, he put forward the idea of "Taiwan independence" and challenged the bottom line of Chinese mainland.

The missile launch and military exercise were held from July to November 23 of that year to protest Li Dehua's speech at Cornell University in the country of M, "What the people want, grow in my heart," and to warn the Taiwan authorities.

On 18 July of that year, Xinhua News Agency published a news release announcing that the Chinese People's Liberation Army would hold a missile test-firing exercise of the Second Artillery Corps from 21 to 28 July, heading for a missile test near the waters off Pengjiayu Island, about 56 kilometers from the port of Jilong on Taiwan Island.

This move has brought about changes in cross-strait relations and tensions.

On December 19, country M assigned the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier battle group to pass through Taiwan waters.

The specific course of this military exercise is as follows:

In the first stage, from July 21 to July 28, the Chinese People's Liberation Army test-fired six Dongfeng-15 missiles from the Qianshan missile base in Jiangxi Province to attack the intended target, about 70 nautical miles north of Cape Fugui. At 1 o'clock on July 21, two Dongfeng-15 missiles were launched at a location east of the Qianshan base, 481 kilometers away from the northern hit area of Fuguijiao; From 0:00 to 2:00 on July 22, two Dongfeng-15 missiles were test-fired; From 2 a.m. to 4 a.m. on July 24, two Dongfeng-15 missiles were launched, and all six of them hit the target area.

In the second stage, from 15 August to 25 August, the Nanjing Military Region of the People's Liberation Army dispatched 59 warships and 192 aircraft to conduct a maritime offensive and defensive drill about 28 nautical miles to the north.

In the third stage, from September 15 to October 20, the PLA army, navy, and air force displayed 81 ships and 610 aircraft sorties in the coastal areas of southern Fujian.

In the fourth stage, from October 31 to November 23, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) held an amphibious landing exercise on Dongshan Island, with troops including the 121st Infantry Division, 63 ships and 50 aircraft.

The following year, from March 8 to March 25, a second missile launch and military exercises were held.

The details of the military exercise are as follows:

In the first stage, from March 8 to March 15, the Chinese People's Liberation Army conducted missile firing exercises at the Yongan and Nanping missile bases in Fujian. Four Dongfeng-15 missiles were launched into the air, and quickly crossed the Taiwan Strait and flew towards the locked target. At 0:00 and 1:00 on March 8, two Dongfeng-15 missiles were test-fired from Yong'an, landing in the target area 30 to 150 nautical miles southwest of the sea off the coast of Kaohsiung; Less than 10 minutes before and after the synchronization time, at 1 o'clock on March 8, a Dongfeng-15 missile was launched from Nanping and landed in the target area 29 nautical miles off the coast of Keelung.

In the second phase, from March 12 to March 20, the PLA Navy and Air Force conducted the second live-fire military exercise in the East China Sea and the South China Sea. The island is less than 10 nautical miles from the island actually controlled by the Taiwan authorities.

In the third stage, from 18 March to 25 March, the PLA navy, army, and air force units carried out the third military exercise of joint operations. The exercise included amphibious landing, airborne and mountain combat drills.

In the first phase, which lasted about 2 weeks, the Continental Army's live-fire exercises, which actually cut off Taiwan's sea and air routes. Freedom of navigation in the Taiwan Strait has been interrupted, and the foundations of Taiwan's economy, which is entirely dependent on international trade, have been shaken.

The situation is tense. The air force and missile units of the island of Taiwan went on maximum alert.

Fearing that the situation would get out of control, Country M hurriedly dispatched two aircraft carrier battle groups to cruise east of Taiwan Island. This is the famous "Taiwan Strait Crisis in XXXX".

On the other hand, the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy submarines also urgently went to sea to be on alert, and the two sides waited and saw what happened.
