The Eastern Theater recently conducted another large-scale military exercise, this time called "Joint Sword-2024B". To be honest, I can't even count how many times this is the first time this year. Every time I see this kind of news, I always feel a little unsure. Although military exercises are normalized, I always feel that what if there is a real fight one day? But Wanwan doesn't seem to take it too seriously, are you really used to it?

The scale of the exercise was upgraded, and Wanwan Island was "dumplings"
Although the exercise lasted only 13 hours, the scope was not small. It starts at 5 a.m. and lasts until 6 p.m. The army, navy, and air force are all in battle, and it is quite lively. The best thing is that the coast guard unit also formed a formation and circled around Wanwan Island.
Compared with the previous exercises, the scope of this exercise has been significantly expanded. Not only the Wanwan Strait, but also the northern, southern, and eastern parts of Wanwan Island are included. Moreover, several new pieces have been added to the exercise area, which makes people smack their tongues.
Some military experts have analyzed that although the exercise is short, the intensity may be greater. In the past, the exercise lasted for two or three days at every turn, but this time it was only 13 hours, does it imply that the PLA feels that it will not take long to recover Wanwan?
The response from Wanwan has been muted, and the public seems to have become accustomed to it
Strange to say, the response to the exercise seems to have been tepid. I searched online for a long time, and I didn't see any heated remarks. Are you really used to it? Or do they think it's routine and not worth the fuss?
There is a message from a Wanwan netizen that impresses me deeply. He said: "Here it is again, every time the drill says that it is going to be hit, and the result? It's not that the thunder is loud and the rain is small. This sounds a bit underwhelming, but it also reflects the mentality of some Wanwan people. Perhaps in their opinion, such military exercises have become commonplace, and even a little numb.
But is this attitude playing into the hands of the mainland? After all, if the people of Wanwan are really indifferent to the military exercises, then won't the deterrent effect of the military exercises be greatly reduced? This thought makes me feel a little uneasy, but I can't say why.
The profound meaning behind the exercise has been interpreted differently by all parties
What exactly is this exercise for? There are many interpretations on all sides. Some say it's a warning to the Wanwan authorities, some think it's a show of strength to the international community, and some think it's just a routine exercise.
Personally, I think that this exercise must have a special purpose. Let's take the exercise time as an example, from the previous two or three days to 13 hours, isn't this just a hint that the PLA has the ability to complete the task in a short time? Besides, the scope of the exercise is surrounded by Wanwan Island, isn't this just saying that "we can cut off your contact at any time"?
However, there are also those who hold a different view. Some experts pointed out that the shortening of the exercise may only be to reduce the impact on international routes, and should not be over-interpreted.
The attitude of the Wanwan authorities is intriguing
When it comes to the reaction of the Wanwan authorities, it is interesting. On the surface, they don't seem to care much about the exercise. The official spokesman said "pay close attention" and then said nothing.
Some people say that the Wanwan authorities are sending a message to the people that "the world is peaceful" and do not want to make everyone too nervous. But is it really good to do that? Wouldn't it be even worse if something happened one day and the people weren't mentally prepared?
I wonder if it could be that the Wanwan authorities are also unsure of the mainland's intentions, so they adopt such an ambiguous attitude? After all, if there is a violent reaction, if the mainland comes up with a larger-scale exercise, wouldn't it be asking for trouble?
With frequent military exercises, where is peace?
To be honest, when I see this kind of news, I always feel a little uncomfortable. Although the military exercises are meant to maintain peace, won't frequent military activities make the situation more tense?
Is peace really that easy to maintain? Would peace be more fragile without a strong military backing it? I've been thinking about this question for a long time, but I still don't have an answer.
When will the two sides of the strait really put aside their prejudices and sit down to have a good talk? After all, we are all descendants of Yan and Huang, so why do we have to be brothers? I hope to see the day when the two sides of the strait are peacefully reunified. Alas, when I say this, how do I feel that I am suddenly ten years older?
