Don't dare to act rashly. On the second day of the PLA's enclosure, the US military received the order to adjust the deployment of the aircraft carrier Reagan

Recently, a disciplinary action against Taiwan independence elements was launched suddenly. The eastern theater of the People's Liberation Army issued a notice that it was necessary to launch the 2024A joint sword military exercise around Taiwan, and the exercise subjects were also very targeted. Not only that, but also deployed the J-20, J-16, 071 amphibious ship and Dongfeng series ballistic missiles and other weapons. It can be said that the signal released by this exercise is very strong. That is, to issue a strong warning to Taiwan independence forces and external interference forces on the island.

At the same time, the United States also responded that the aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan had to give way urgently and no longer set foot in the Taiwan Sea area. According to the officials of the Seventh Fleet of the United States Navy, they really paid attention to the PLA exercise, but they would go to the South China Sea to carry out operations, that is, to avoid the PLA exercise area.

The outside world may be surprised by the PLA's military exercises, but real experts, such as experts from the Pentagon of the United States, will deeply understand the PLA's military preparedness level on the Taiwan issue by observing such unexpected exercises.

You know, the United States has always been very dishonest about PLA exercises. It has even sent P-8A patrol planes and even destroyers to close in and observe for many times, and even conducted joint patrols with Japan and other allies. But this time, the United States seems to be unusually quiet, and has not made too many extraordinary moves, which means to avoid its edge. It is reported that the eastern theater of the Chinese People's Liberation Army is holding a two-day military exercise around Taiwan, called "United Sword - 2024A", which has entered its second day. Meanwhile, the US Navy's aircraft carrier "Reagan" is heading for the South China Sea.

According to the latest foreign reports, the spokesman of the 7th Fleet of the US Navy said that they were closely monitoring all developments in the Asia Pacific region.

That is to say, they pay close attention to the PLA's exercises. It is important to know that for the US military, being able to get close to the PLA's military exercises can not only familiarize itself with the PLA's configuration, but also spy on our military strength. This is also what the US is looking forward to obtaining first-hand intelligence information, especially with the most advanced aircraft carrier battle group of the US, the Reagan as a nuclear powered aircraft carrier, The number of carrier aircraft carried has also reached 40 to 50, and can carry early-warning aircraft, as well as the F35 that can be invisible. It is capable of approaching reconnaissance, but this time it took the initiative to make emergency concessions. So why did the United States dare not act rashly?

At present, according to the US military, their mission is to conduct a bilateral military operation with the Dutch navy in the South China Sea. The 7th Fleet of the United States issued a statement saying that this operation provided a good opportunity, not only to strengthen the communication ability between allies, but also to improve their joint combat readiness in complex situations. The United States also plans to hold military exercises around the Pacific Ocean from June 26 to August 2.

In other words, the mainland has conducted military exercises in the Taiwan Sea, while the United States has gone to the other side. The aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan is on missions elsewhere. The United States and the Netherlands have strengthened cooperation through joint military operations in the South China Sea, and the United States also intends to conduct a large-scale maritime exercise,

In other words, the United States is not limited to the Taiwan Strait, or even the South China Sea issue, but focuses its strategic vision on the world. Through this way, the United States wants to strengthen the cohesion between its allies, so that navies from different countries can closely cooperate.

Of course, this also reveals a fact, because according to the deployment of the PLA this time, it is really luxurious,

Six major weapon systems were disclosed to participate in the "United Sword 2024A" military exercise held in the eastern theater. These weapons include the latest J-20 stealth fighter, J-16 multi-purpose fighter, 052D destroyer (advanced missile destroyer), 071 amphibious dock transport ship (capable of transporting soldiers and large ships equipped for landing operations), Dongfeng series ballistic missiles (long-range missiles, capable of carrying nuclear warheads) and PHL-16 long-range multi barrel rockets (a weapon capable of launching a large number of rockets) 。 In addition, in the public video, we also saw that the frigate "Nantong" numbered 533 participated in the exercise.

In the face of such luxurious configuration of the PLA, this also exposes a major weakness of the United States. If we rely on our own strength in this area, it may not be enough to make up for the gap with the PLA. We should know that, especially in the coastal areas, we have absolute advantages over the US military. The advantage of the United States lies in its ability to sail freely around the world and rely on numerous allies to provide various resources and support, To lay the foundation of its own strength, that is to say, the United States depends on these allies and the role of more than 200 military bases in the world.

At present, according to the latest news, the mainland has sent 49 military aircraft and 26 ships, which is also very rare. The United States naturally did not want the PLA to take the lead, and the United States itself began to take action. Recently, the Pentagon released some photos, on which we can see that the American aircraft carrier "Reagan" is in the same frame with two supply ships, one is the "Eriksson", which provides fuel, and the other is the "Drew", which provides dry goods and ammunition for ships. That is to say, on the same day that the PLA started the exercise, the three ships were also busy supplying.

The Reagan was followed not only by two supply ships, but also by the cruiser "Smalls" and the destroyer "Howard" Aliburke class. These warships set out from Yokosuka, Japan, on May 16. Before returning to the United States later this year, they were conducting their last patrol mission in the Indo Pacific region this year.

In addition, in the announcement of the Eastern Theater of Operations, we can see that the phrase "integrated linkage inside and outside the island chain" is also mentioned, which may mean that the PLA's action is not only limited to the surrounding Taiwan Island, but also will carry out targeted drills for the US troops in the island chain. The purpose is to curb the military adventure attempts of the US military leaders. Recently, Wu Qian, spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense, stressed when answering questions from reporters, that the PLA organized joint exercises of land, sea, air and rocket forces in order to test the joint combat capability of the troops, attack the arrogance of Taiwan independence, and deter the involvement of external forces. It can be seen that the PLA has the determination and confidence to safeguard national sovereignty. At this moment, the United States is also very self-conscious.
