After the US Secretary of Defense Esper's desire to deploy a medium -range mission in the Asia -Pacific countries, it caused a strong response from the eagle people in Mainland China. The PLA retired general Wang Hongguang also wrote in the party media and proposed four stances of hard countermeasures.However, the United States only intends to deploy a conventional warhead medium -range missile, and this weapon has not performed well in the history of war. It has never become a key combat gear to reverse the war situation. For such a response for single weapons, the countermeasures are quite accurate.
If you want to judge the strategic value of the medium -range ballistic missile, it is actually closely related to the reward it can be equipped with a warhead. The reason why the backbone can reach an agreement and the reduction of these weapons is actually because it is carried as a nuclear warhead.At the beginning and end of it, the essence of the problem is to grasp the essence of the problem from the entire US -Soviet lattimer's disappearance.
And this time the United States hopes that the deployment of medium -range missiles is a conventional warhead, not a nuclear weapon equipment.Its specifications and capabilities are actually very different from the missile capabilities when signing the medium -range missile reduction agreement of the year. The entire troops use the concepts. ThereforeFull picture.
It is true that the U.S. military medium -range missile can be changed from a conventional warhead at any time to replace it as a nuclear warhead.State permits, I am afraid that the probability is extremely limited.
As far as the position of the landlord country is concerned, if the U.S. military deployment of medium -range missiles, considering the strategic obstacles that can be obtained, comparison may suffer a negative political effect, and the possibility of armed conflicts;The cost of harm, the plot cannot be confirmed.For the Asia -Pacific countries, through the simplest weighing interests, it is naturally difficult for the United States to deploy related troops as expected.
As for the four confrontation strategies proposed by Wang Hongguang, the conditions set and the concept of response are quite accurate, and it is more contradictory with the traditional military thought of mainland China.Especially when deployed in the surrounding countries, but when the country did not launch an attack on the mainland, it was necessary to take the lead in implementing a crackdown concept. I am afraid that it did not match the guidance of military soldiers at the political level.
The deployment of military force is not the same as actual use of soldiers, and conventional warhead missiles are also different from nuclear missiles.If you do not distinguish the blue and red soap, you will be scared to the surrounding countries and threaten it.Chinese warfare pays attention to the strategic layout of the creation of the machine to make the opponent who knows the difficulty and retreat, instead of letting the opponent take a crackdown and the conventional missile weapon system.Living is actually manipulating in the hands.
The strategic layout and the battlefield use troops to conduct and retreat in order. In the history of the war history, there is no such thing as a war guidance with the war of the war.EssenceIn the face of US military force deployment, it is difficult to deploy, watch the changes, master the true essence, and avoid disappointment.
