Two mainstream F-11 fighters passed the mid-line on the southwest of Taiwan on March 31 to cross the mid-line for 10 minutes, causing a fierce response from the government.Perhaps the election is approaching. It is the highly sensitive period of politics. The government's response to the entire incident has far exceeded the actual military significance.EssenceTaiwan Beach is at the end of the midline. It is the waters of the border. Individuals have been ordered to check the unknown targets in the waters during the long time of the missile destroyer. They found that the two continental navy measured ships were working on the spot.
Because there has not been a long -term military aircraft crossing the border, the presidential palace has spoke to condemn, such as the lack of international responsibilities, deliberate provocation of regional security and stability, and blatant destruction of the status quo on both sides of the strait. This is a provocative incident.Go on.The most important thing is that this is the common responsibility of regional security, so the government has reported through channels to report relevant countries, saying that we still have regional and allies.
However, in fact, the Ministry of National Defense announced the normal announcement of the outside world. For example, the military really comes out as a newspaper called me F-16, Phantom, Economic Guo Guo and other elite fighters.It also entered 5 minutes emergency reserve, and the Island Patriot missiles even increased their combat reserve.It is probably not enough to disclose it, but this kind of big publicity is not to see how far, far away, and identified monitoring and reconnaissance capabilities and discrimination.Not only that, we also use the entire air defense operation process and troops to disclose one by one.
On the outside world, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately condemned the mainland on Twitter and informed regional partners.This told the whole people that at least we have already regained the number in the Indo -Pacific Union at least, and it seems that there is an informal security regional alliance.Taiwan has the responsibility to inform the partners' threats in the Indo -Pacific area.Is this really the case?Looking at Japan, which really has an alliance relationship with the United States, just the day before, after two 054A patrol ships traveled through the Great Strait, the Mandarin Military was out of the Pacific Ocean.Crossing the Gonggu Strait will follow the Pacific Exercise.The Japanese Defense Agency sent machines, ship surveillance, accompanying, and taking pictures, and released the news and navigation maps to the media's release of main allies.
In January of this year, cross -strait relations have deteriorated. Under the encouragement of the United States, Taiwan not only follows the voices, but also creates an atmosphere through the think tanks and scholars' manufacturing issues in Washington, trying to influence the policy of Taiwan.The government's attitude towards the mainland has changed completely, and gradually increases to the dry posture, and it may be amazing before the election.This mentality is impossible to say that the mainland is completely negligible and unknown without preparation. It will inevitably respond at a timely manner of our attitude. Among them, it is most likely that the military aircraft to soar me.It is because of many politics and forces who never think of it, saying that if you say it, you have to do so well. If you think about the consequences.
