As PLA military aircraft continued to approach the airspace on the opposite shore, PLA ships took on an encirclement posture and carried out intensive military exercises around the periphery of the other side. Many people have begun to find that in the context of the continuous approach to the US military on the other side, the PLA has begun to stop having illusions and begin to make preparations for the settlement of the Taiwan Strait issue by force. Perhaps, the US military also saw this and will continue to use warships to cross the Taiwan Strait and military planes to land on the other side during this period to test China's attitude!
It is also this time and again that the US military has come to a very bad conclusion, maybe the PLA is really going to move! Because of every test by the U.S. military, the PLA responds with more actual actions than verbal warnings. Many US experts and media have begun to analyze what kind of situation the war will be carried out in the Taiwan Strait, and what kind of price does the PLA need to pay to win the other side? Recently, some American experts analyzed that if the People's Liberation Army wants to take the other side, it is bound to usher in a vicious war!

Us experts believe that if the People's Liberation Army wants to take the other side, it is bound to capture at least one port on the other side at the first time! There are only 14 beaches on the other side, which can meet the landing needs of amphibious forces. This also means that it is entirely possible for the other side to use these beaches to strike at the vanguard troops of the Platon Army landing. This also means that once the PLA attacks Taiwan, the first thing it needs to face is the strike of anti-ship missiles on the shore.
Second, although there are currently only 190,000 standing troops on the other side, the other side can still mobilize 260,000 reserve troops, which is still a conservative estimate. Therefore, even if the PLA breaks through the strike circle of anti-ship missiles, it will face an encounter with 500,000 troops on the other side. In this case, if the PLA wants to take the other side, American experts believe that the PLA needs to dispatch at least 200 troops!
Moreover, US experts further emphasized that this also excludes the possibility of the US military participating in the war! Even, in addition to the US military, Japan and Australia have also declared to the outside world that they will send troops to cooperate with the US military operations in the Taiwan Strait. This also means that if the US military really ends up, the conflict in the Taiwan Strait is bound to escalate further! At that time, the 2 million troops dispatched by the People's Liberation Army will inevitably pay a small price to take the other side in the face of the coalition forces led by the US military.
Of course, as far as China's current military strength is concerned, it is not impossible to dispatch 2 million troops, and it is not a big problem to carry hundreds of thousands of naval ships with thousands of warships. But is it true that as this American expert analyzed, the People's Liberation Army needs to dispatch troops of this size to attack Taiwan? The anti-ship missiles on the other side of the strait, the more advanced ones also spent a lot of money to buy "Harpoon" anti-ship missiles from the US military, as for the 500,000 troops, do anyone really think that the PLA needs to send 2 million troops to do it?
Previously, it was reported that the People's Liberation Army can easily destroy most of the airfields on the other side of the coast, and it still uses rockets. The other side may not really be so well treated. As for the so-called 500,000 troops on the other side, don't forget how the nickname "Strawberry Soldier" came from, which really requires the People's Liberation Army to dispatch 4 times the strength to deal with it? As for the US military going to war, I think that when this sentence is said, many people on the other side of the strait do not believe it themselves!
However, in the analysis of this American expert, one point is still worth affirming, at least he is still very clear that no matter what the cost, our country will complete reunification. Our country has the strength and determination to do this, even if the US military can't stop it! (Zhang You)
