Recently, United States Chief of Naval Operations Franchetti came up with a plan that is aimed directly at China, United States seems intent on confronting the mainland in 2027.
In the document, United States also claimed that this was to prepare for the mainland's possible "Taiwan takeover" plan, with the aim of obstructing the mainland's process of recovering Taiwan.
Of course, this is not the first time that United States has put the "war against China" on the table, and the United States military basically has only one purpose in raising the "China threat theory," that is, to continue to "ask for money" from the United States government, and the so-called arguments only explain the necessity of "asking for money," and China is the best reason.
As for the timetable, it is just a means for the United States military to exaggerate the tense atmosphere, just to make the government feel 100,000 urgent, so allocate funds as soon as possible.
However, there must be a cause and an effect, after all, it is what the United States military said, and it still has a certain reference value United States the direction of future military development. Judging from the specific documents given by the military this time, there are some situations that are still worth pondering.
First of all, United States is now very anxious to strengthen the power of the navy, we all know that United States is the most powerful country in the world, but now it is always worried about its own position, which shows that the strong rise of the mainland has brought a great threat to United States.
In order to maintain its hegemonic position, United States hopes to start with other strategic concepts. For example, the shipbuilding capacity and maintenance capacity of the United States, the former United States was a well-deserved leader in the shipbuilding industry.
However, the shipbuilding capacity of the United States has declined somewhat, mainly because the focus of the United States industry has shifted after the adjustment of the layout, so there is a lack of attention to this, and for a long time, the shipbuilding capacity of the United States has naturally declined.
On the other hand, the mainland has grown by leaps and bounds in just a few decades, becoming a shipbuilding power, and has developed many new types of ships, which United States understandably feels threatened.
Due to United States' own industrial constraints, United States' current ship repair capacity has also been affected by production capacity, so the supply of ships may be limited.
In the event of a major war, it is very likely that the United States ships will take a long time to return to the battlefield after being damaged, which is undoubtedly very fatal for a war where every second counts. In the future, the United States will continue to strengthen in these two areas to fill the gap.
There is also artificial intelligence and unmanned weapons, judging from the situation of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the use of artificial intelligence and unmanned weapons is quite extensive, and it will only play a greater role in modern warfare in the future, which is also the direction of future warfare.
Therefore, if United States wants to win, it will certainly not be able to lose to us in this regard.
In addition, the United States hopes to continue to expand its military strength.
United States now has a total strength of 1.4 million troops, in addition to some reservists, even with the addition of reserves, the total mobilization rate in terms of the total population of the United States is still less than 0.8%, which is even less than Russia.
In contrast, the mainland's total military strength is now about 3.25 million, which is a rather large number, equivalent to the combined strength of the United States and Russia.
Therefore, United States always believes that maintaining such a large number of troops will pose a potential threat to itself.
It's just that United States selectively ignores the mainland's population base, in fact, if we consider our total population, the mobilization rate is much lower than that of United States, and we are not as aggressive as United States says.
Naturally United States military will not believe this reason, and in order to be able to gain an advantage in future battles, United States is also preparing for a large-scale military expansion, but now there are two problems in front of United States, one is people, and the other is money.
In order to alleviate their own economic pressure, the current United States has allowed drugs to run rampant in the country, United States the drug epidemic in the country has had a great impact on the younger generation, so United States want to recruit on a large scale is not destined to be so smooth.
Even if we can find enough manpower, we have every reason to wonder if these young people who have been mutilated by drugs really have much fighting power.
The second point is that United States current military spending has far exceeded the scope of what the United States government can afford, and if it continues to expand the army now, it will be a considerable expense.
United States current economic situation is not optimistic, the unemployment rate has increased significantly, and if we continue to increase military investment, United States people will only complain more about this.
In general, the policies proposed by the United States military certainly have some truth, but it is still difficult to predict what will be the situation when implemented.
Because the United States now has too many problems, it has long reached the point where it is difficult to return, and it may not be realistic to achieve the goal of defeating the PLA in 2027.
Of course, although this plan ends in 2027, it is still difficult to judge whether United States will really personally use military force to interfere in the Taiwan Strait issue, after all, United States is now very jealous of our military strength.
United States' posture of not hesitating to clash head-on with us in order to intervene in the Taiwan Strait is only to deter us or intimidate the Taiwan authorities; in the short term, the probability of a large-scale frontal conflict between China and the United States is still very low.
