Chapter 605: Negotiation on
Sure enough, a few days after the delegation returned, Zou Qinan, chairman of the Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Strait (ARATS), made an appointment to meet with Lin Shenyu of the Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF), and the two sides talked for more than two hours.
Zou Qinan issued an almost ultimatum-like deadline to the Taiwan side, saying that within 10 days, if the Taiwan side does not have the sincerity to hold peace talks to resolve the return plan, then the mainland will unilaterally take all effective measures to realize the reunification of the motherland.
Although there was no written information for this private meeting, Lin Shenyu knew from Zou Qinan's extremely tough tone that the mainland side seemed to be determined to achieve reunification this time, and they did not even save any face for the Taiwan side at all, let alone time or excuse to delay.
After receiving such information, Zhu Dunru immediately put aside other matters and began to summon a think tank to go all out to deal with this sudden biggest crisis; the mainland side revealed that the family background was the first and the threat of force was the last; this very clear signal shows that this time the mainland is really determined to solve the Taiwan issue, and it is a consistent tradition of the Chinese to salute first and then soldier, and if such a clear signal is issued, the Taiwan side will no longer misjudge the situation.
Moreover, the extremely shocking news reported just after the military observation delegation returned, which proved that the mainland side really has the strength and ability to resolve the Taiwan issue through military means.
However, how big is the gap between the military strength of the two sides, and whether Taiwan really has no chance of holding out until the US military intervenes, although Zhu Dunru has read everyone's reports, he still has a faint hope and asks the military to redo a war game of cross-strait military strength.
In this war game, the military strength of the other side will be assumed based on the latest military information obtained by the members of the military observation group visiting the mainland, and what will happen to Taiwan in the face of an attack on the other side of the strait. How big is the gap between the two sides in terms of military affairs, and if they refuse reunification by force, can the military strength of Taiwan Island drag the war into a stalemate, and hold out for at least two weeks so that the US military can intervene and rescue.
Under the new assumptions, the Taiwan military has obtained new results that are quite different from the results of the war games not long ago, and the military, which had originally vowed to support the US military to rush to help, told Zhu Dunru in great frustration this time that according to the latest military intelligence information obtained by the delegation, the originally assumed mainland's main battle equipment was seriously underestimated, and after they readjusted the military strength estimate of the mainland's main battle equipment, there was a huge gap between the military strength of Taiwan Island and the other side.
From the perspective of the Air Force, the Taiwan military currently has 150 F-16A/B fighters, 60 F-16C/D fighters, 120 IDF self-developed fighters, and 60 Mirage 2000s, totaling nearly 400 main fighters.
What's more, now that the mainland military on the other side of the strait has been updated to more powerful J-10C and J-11C, at least more than 300 planes have been deployed in the airspace of Taiwan Island, plus no less than 50 Flying Leopard fighters and at least more than 400 destroyer drones, according to the results of the air battle between India and Pakistan, the best result of the Taiwan Air Force is to exchange the cost of total annihilation for about 100 fighters on the other side of the strait, or the Air Force will avoid a hundred battles and hide at the US military base in the Ryukyus.
Either way, the result is that the air supremacy on Taiwan Island will inevitably change hands within four hours. And this is without taking into account the large number of missile forces on the mainland.
After the mainland takes control of the air power, the overwhelming number of Destroyer drones and Flying Leopard fighters will destroy most of the heavy armor, preset heavy artillery positions, missiles, radars, and other important facilities exposed by the Taiwan military to the opponent in no more than 12 hours, while the armor and heavy artillery hidden in the bunkers will not have a chance to show their heads under the Destroyer drones that the opponent is eyeing at any time.
Don't forget that the mainland now has an extremely complete unmanned aerial vehicle system, from unmanned reconnaissance planes to attack planes, which are very powerful, and can completely monitor every move of the Taiwan island in a high-density manner, and without the support of air and heavy firepower, the entire Taiwan island's maritime defense line will be useless, and the mainland will be able to put at least 100,000 or more troops into Taiwan in 24 hours at most.
In this situation of complete loss of air and heavy firepower, the Taiwan Army is not at all the opponent of the elite armored forces of the mainland landing on the island, as long as there are two regiments of 99A3 tanks are enough to cross the island, therefore, the best outcome for the Taiwan side is to drag the mainland army into bloody urban street battles, and use its inconvenient use of heavy armored operations in the city to persist in street fighting.
However, this is obviously a kind of jade burning style, and I believe that no one side wants to see this tragedy happen.
What is even more desperate is that even if the defenders of Taiwan Island held back the pace of the mainland military with street fighting, the war games continued to make a follow-up exercise in which China and the United States competed around Taiwan in accordance with the strength of the US military stationed in Japan and Guam, and found that with the current strength of the US military, the Taiwan side did not need to count on the US military to rush to help.
When the mainland's navy and air force obtain supplementary bases on Taiwan Island, they only need 400 main fighters and one main fleet to be deployed near Taiwan Island, and cooperate with missile units and destroyer drones, which is enough to make the US air force and naval formations deployed in the western Pacific suffer a big loss.
The mainland's J-10C and J-11C, in conjunction with the J-20 and J-21, under the command of airborne early warning aircraft and land-based radars, will be no less impressive in the face of the US military's F-16C/D and F-22/F-35 combinations, and even more powerful under the theater joint combat tactical system.
Unless China and the United States launch a full-scale war, the US military is willing to risk the threat of losing its global hegemony and concentrate most of its main air force forces at bases in Japan to fight a decisive battle with the Chinese side, and there may be a chance of air victory, but this chance is also extremely slim, and the mainland's current military potential is unfathomable, and who knows whether there will be new weapons coming out after the outbreak of the war, after all, all the delegations see now are active equipment.
It would not be uncommon for the mainland military to once again have several new weapons; since everyone has nuclear weapons, the US military's war with the mainland is limited to conventional warfare, but Taiwan is too close to the mainland, which is equivalent to the mainland's home field, and although the US military has bases in Japan and Guam, once a war starts, the bases stationed in Japan will certainly become the first target of attack by the mainland's missiles, and the Ryukyu base close to Taiwan Island will hardly be spared.
In this way, the US military was equivalent to being cut off an arm in this great war. will be forced to attack from distant bases such as Guam, or with aircraft carrier formations.
However, it has really come to this point, and there is a big gap between the F-18 and A-18 carrier-based aircraft in the US aircraft carrier formation compared with the mainland's J-10C/J-11C, and it is basically impossible to defeat the J-10C/J-11C in air combat, even if they cooperate with the F-22 and F-35 fighters that came by air refueling, the two sides will at most have a draw, and with Guam's projectile land, compared with the mainland's home battle, the logistical problems alone will make the US military miserable.
In other words, even if the U.S. military comes in full force, this war may be a stalemate.
The mainland's superior army could have exhausted the trapped Taiwan Army in street fighting within this time.
In other words, no matter how the Taiwan side chooses to start a war now, it has no chance of winning, it is nothing more than an early death and a late death, in short, a dead end, the military summed up very succinctly. This is not a need for external propaganda, and the military does not dare to joke with the lives of hundreds of thousands of Taiwan soldiers.
Seeing this result, Zhu Dunru was completely dead, so let's talk about it.
