    Chapter 295 Taiping Island - The Unsinkable Aircraft Carrier Taiping Island is really a good place. Because Taiping Island is close to the equator and is in the equatorial windless zone, there are almost no typhoons. It is one of the few places in the Nansha Islands that has fresh water resources.  The island has good soil quality and fertile soil, and is covered with a variety of tall and dense tropical vegetation. Coconut groves, papaya trees, and banana trees are distributed throughout the island.  Zhu.COm has an absolute survival advantage that no other South China Sea island can match.  The largest island in the entire South China Sea Islands, Yongxing Island in the Paracel Islands, cannot be compared with it because there is no fresh water resources on the island.  ¡¾¡¿ Constructing Woody Island in the Paracel Islands and Taiping Island in the Nansha Islands into comprehensive military bases has become a strategic location for China to control the entire South China Sea. It is of great strategic significance to protect the rich oil resources under the South China Sea.  It is also the focus of China's national defense engineering construction.  The central government required that a solid defense system be established in the South China Sea Islands, with no upper limit, and the construction of national defense projects in the South China Sea Islands began accordingly.  Taiping Island is long and narrow from east to west, with a low and flat terrain. It is entirely composed of coral reefs and is almost the same size as two large comprehensive sports stadiums.  Although Taiping Island has fresh water resources and a high groundwater level, the water quality contains a high proportion of chlorine and salt. Except for a few wells in the east of Taiping Island, which are of drinkable water quality, the rest are not suitable for drinking.  "" In order to meet the needs of the construction of Taiping Island, the lives of officers and soldiers stationed on the island, and the supply of Chinese navy ships passing by, China drilled a 630-meter-deep water well in the west of the island.  Many water collection flats, reservoirs and other facilities were built on the island.  At the same time, a seawater desalination machine capable of producing 4 cubic meters of fresh water per hour was installed. With the development and construction of Taiping Island, a seawater purification system was later built.  In order to meet the island¡¯s power supply, the island is equipped with four 1,200-horsepower diesel generators and a set of 40-kilowatt solar energy devices as backup power sources.  While fulfilling their national defense obligations in the South China Sea, the troops stationed on the island, together with the infrastructure engineering corps, built island-wide defense fortifications, air defense positions that span the entire Taiping Island, and well-equipped military barracks buildings on Taiping Island.  China pays great attention to the protection of the ocean and the island's terrestrial ecology in its construction on Taiping Island. The entire Taiping Island is covered with green trees, birds singing and flowers are fragrant, and the greening rate reaches more than 90%. Most of the houses and buildings are hidden deep in the woods. From a distance, it is difficult to see  , only a few towers, weather stations and radar stations stand out slightly.  However, in this beautiful scenery that resembles a fairyland, the Chinese Navy has deployed Seahawk shore-based anti-ship missiles, surface-to-air missiles, self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, and phased array radar positions on Taiping Island to conduct air, sea, and missile defenses.  , artillery firepower integrated and complete defense system.  In terms of air defense, the air defense network in the Taiping Island airspace is composed of 35mm double-barreled self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and Pili 9 surface-to-air island bombs.  On Taiping Island, it is equipped with 12 Pili 9 missile launchers and 24 35mm double-barreled self-propelled anti-aircraft guns with high muzzle velocity, high firing rate, high firing accuracy and fast reaction speed. This system can deal with more than 30 aerial targets at the same time.  .  The search radar matched with the 35mm double-barreled self-propelled anti-aircraft gun has a range of 40 kilometers, 24 frequency points, automatic frequency conversion, and can capture and track multiple batches of low and medium-altitude targets of more than 10. It also has 24 photoelectric sensors and  This integration.  Including thermal imaging, TV cameras and laser range finders, it can automatically track and range enemy targets around the clock.  Coastal defense is equipped with Seahawk shore-to-ship-island missiles and 122mm "Tempest" 40-barreled self-propelled rocket launchers in the Ring Islands.  Covering sea areas within 120 kilometers.  At the same time, a large number of various small-caliber guns were deployed, making Taiping Island a military fortress, making its defense underground and modernizing its life.  In order to build Taiping Island into an unsinkable aircraft carrier, a modern airport with a 1,200-meter-long runway and complete facilities for the takeoff and landing of large military transport aircraft, heavy fighter jets and various military aircraft was built on one side of Taiping Island.  Since the soil of Taiping Island is mainly coral sand and phosphorus lime soil, and the surface hardness is insufficient, the construction team poured cement on the coral reefs and transported concrete containing metal materials from China for the construction of airport runways, underground oil depots and renewable energy.  Large underground warehouses for storing heavy weapons and fighter jets, etc.  In order to allow Taiping Island Airport to accommodate more combat aircraft, the island-based fighter jets and "Falcon" fighters owned by the South China Sea Fleet's naval aviation base at Taiping Island have all been modified into foldable wing types, and the landing gear has been strengthened.  Counting the reserve fighters in the underground hangar, Taiping Island Airport can accommodate 105 military aircraft.  The infrastructure engineering team of the South China Sea Fleet, based on the submarine base built by the Japanese on Taiping Island during World War II, used steel plates to fill the pier on Taiping Island where large warships and "dolphin" diesel-powered submarines can dock.  At the same time as the construction of military projects on the island, a cable TV station, the Voice of the South China Sea radio station and a "commercial street" were also built on the island. Supermarkets, banks, post offices, telecommunications, guest houses, karaoke rooms, etc. were gathered on both sides of Zhonghua Road.  Hotels, hospitals, library reading rooms, gyms, etc. serve the soldiers.The advanced facilities have greatly enriched the material and cultural life of the officers and soldiers guarding the island.  Of course, there are more female soldiers in these service industries, which is also in line with the natural law of "matching men and women, so work is not tiring".  ¡°Building Taiping Island into the largest military center in the Nansha Islands will certainly greatly improve China¡¯s offensive and defensive capabilities in the South China Sea.  With the irreversible and strong rise of China's economy and military and China's construction of Woody Island and Taiping Island in the South China Sea, this cannot help but cause panic in some countries around the South China Sea. For a time, this group of monkeys around the South China Sea  , like eating hot pepper, scratching my head and head, not knowing how to face China's increasingly powerful "Eastern Dragon".  The neighboring countries believe that a catastrophe is coming, and they feel increasingly restless, restless, and panicked all day long. They begin to constantly test China's bottom line and the extent of its patience.  Relying on its special relationship with the United States, the Philippines clung to the "life-saving straw" of the United States. With "American interests" in mind, it was the first to make exploratory moves to intervene in the South China Sea.  Nansha waters are rich in fishery resources and are the largest tropical fishery in China¡¯s marine fisheries.  Because of this, in addition to Chinese fishermen, many fishermen from the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and other countries also come here to fish.  In order to seize fishery resources, the Philippines began to explore. In 1956, Thomas Croman, the principal of the Manila Navigation School, went on an expedition to the Nansha Islands. He claimed to have "discovered" 9 major islands including Thitu Island and named them the Kalayaan Islands. The Philippine Navy explored  to prevent Chinese fishermen from fishing in this area.  Zhongye Island, one of the islands and reefs of the Nansha Islands, is 800 meters long and 500 meters wide, making it the second largest island in area.  "Zhongye" Island was named in commemoration of the warship "Zhongye" used by the Kuomintang government's navy to take over the sovereignty of the Nansha Islands in 1946.  In later generations, Thitu Island has been occupied by the Philippines since 1971. There are garrisons, airports, shops, power plants, etc. on the island. It is the command center for the Philippines to rule the Spratly Islands.  There is a large well on the west coast of the island, with good water quality and drinkable water. There is a coconut forest in the northwest, 18 meters high, and a small Qing Dynasty temple in the middle.  On February 18, 1960, a Chinese fishing boat was unreasonably obstructed and expelled by the Philippine Navy while fishing near Thitu Island, China¡¯s traditional waters. When the Chinese fishermen refused to leave, the Philippine Navy tried to detain the Chinese fishermen.  "Detain? Bragging! This is China's territorial waters. You have invaded China's territorial waters. If I don't detain the warships of you Filipino servants, it will be easier for you. If you don't, get out of here." Xie, the captain of the Qiongyu 301 fishing boat  The sea faced this behemoth, the Philippine Navy No. 532 American World War II-era LST large tank landing ship with a dark gray hull. It showed no fear, raised its neck, and roared loudly through the loudspeaker on the ship.  The landing ship No. 532 of the Philippine Navy is 99.97 meters long, 15.24 meters wide, with an empty displacement of 1,625 tons and a full load displacement of 4,080 tons.  It is powered by 2 diesel engines with a power of 18,000 horsepower, a speed of 12 knots, and a crew of 120 people.  It is equipped with two 40mm double-barreled cannons, six 40mm single-barreled cannons, and eight 30mm single-barreled cannons. A 76mm cannon is installed on the bow.  "These Chinese fishermen are too fierce." What the officers and soldiers of the Philippine Navy's landing ship No. 532 did not expect was that the Chinese fishing boat, which was about 40 meters long, less than 200 tons, and with a power of more than 300 horsepower at most, dared to lay the ship sideways.  My own warship would rather die than retreat.  Moreover, more than 30 crew members also took out American M1 carbines, Japanese Type 38 rifles, and a rocket launcher to risk their lives.  Chinese fishermen in this era are very powerful. Chinese fishermen in this era are not like the fishermen in the 21st century. The fishermen at this time were organized and supported by the country and their own soldiers. They were not afraid of those similar to "Filipino servants" around the South China Sea.  What kind of country's navy.  Moreover, the fishermen themselves are militiamen, and they all carry guns when they go to sea. Large fishing boats are also equipped with machine guns and rocket launchers. This is the power of all citizens as soldiers.  Faced with this situation, Captain Palayo of the Philippine Navy¡¯s landing ship No. 532 was really a little overwhelmed. He didn¡¯t expect it to be like this. He couldn¡¯t let a small fishing boat scare him back with a big warship like his.  So he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet and ordered: The whole ship entered combat mode. All the guns on the landing ship No. 532 were aimed at the Chinese fishing boat. It looked like they were going to sink the Qiongyu 301 fishing boat. This was a vain attempt.  Scare off the Chinese fishing boat.  "I'll hang you to death. If you dare to take one step forward, I'll hang you. Do you know?" Xie Dahai, the captain of the Qiongyu 301, cursed and sent a signal to the Chinese Navy for help.  After the South China Sea Garrison Area of ??the Chinese People's Liberation Army on Taiping Island received a signal for help from the captain of the fishing boat, it immediately dispatched two "Falcon" fighter jets and a "Hunter" armed helicopter on the deck and two 122mm "Tempest" missiles.  Rocket Launcher's LST1 tank landing ship quickly rushed to the scene of the accident.  At this time, China was not as good-tempered as China in later generations. There was no such thing as "hide one's strength and bide one's time", "put aside disputes and develop together",There are so many "strategies" for "a harmonious world".  It complicates what was originally a very simple problem and turns it into a very difficult problem to deal with.  Turn an easily solvable problem into an unsolvable problem.  The current policy is that if you infringe on my core interests, everyone above and below will fight you, and in the worst case, they will "go back to Jinggangshan".  It¡¯s okay to keep a low profile or keep a low profile, but there must be a bottom line when doing things, and the bottom line of territorial sovereignty cannot be ambiguous.  Whose is his, Oneisone, twoistwo.  Why should we "jointly develop" our own private land?  If you can't defeat others and let them take over your possessions, that's because you don't have the ability.  When you are strong enough, take it back.  But if you take the initiative to invite others to "jointly develop" your private land, you are legalizing their entry into your home.  In fact, this is exactly the case: since the chaos in the South China Sea broke out, they have put aside disputes and jointly developed and responded to it, and since then, Vietnam and the Philippines have.  Countries such as Ma and others came to "jointly develop".  Occupy an island today and a reef tomorrow.  All that is left for China to do is to take the trouble to express "anger", "unacceptability", "this is illegal", "we will not recognize" and other "protests" and "statements".  Another thing is to "play a big knife twice" on your own.  Self-deceptive deterrence actions such as ship drills, missile test launches, and fighter jets flying thousands of miles away.  Just mess around with yourself.  The result was counterproductive - it made people see the essence of weakness, which is the little ability of the donkey of Guizhou.  Those small Southeast Asian countries became emboldened by forming alliances with each other, and after successive provocations and tests without any damage, they became emboldened to the point where they ignored the "anger" and "feelings" of the Chinese people and completely overturned the basic principle of "shelving disputes and jointly developing".  framework, one after another declared ¡°sovereignty¡± over the islands they occupy in the South China Sea.  That "forced deterrence" with frivolous tricks has caused huge waste. If we fight a real war, even if it causes a little tension in the region, it can also show our determination and will to defend our sovereignty.  Perhaps it can arouse the blood of the nation and make the world somewhat wary and not ignore the existence of this "big country".  It is better than facing the chaos in the South China Sea and resigning ourselves to fate, fooling around for a while, and letting the countries that occupy our territorial waters and reefs unscrupulously encroach.  ¡°Now those countries surrounding the South China Sea, not to mention oil extraction in the South China Sea, even fishing in the South China Sea must be permitted by China¡¯s fishery administration, within the prescribed scope and within the prescribed time, otherwise the consequences will be serious.  Not to mention that warships come here to play tricks.
