Chapter 982 Night training and the small boat makes it easier to turn around
The joining of Laotian and Cambodian volunteers has brought about great changes in the situation in Thailand.
The dawn of quelling the mob riots has appeared. It is estimated that it will not take long for the nationwide mob riots in Thailand to be quelled.
In addition, 200,000 volunteers have joined Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines.
More volunteers are setting off.
A total of 600,000 volunteers will be dispatched to protect compatriots and quell the mob riots.
Among them, there are naturally mercenaries, guards, and volunteers who are injured or even sacrificed. After all, the medical conditions are not up to par, so some of the injured who can be rescued eventually sacrificed.
It is cruel, but it cannot shake Liu Tao's tenacious heart.
It can be said that Liu Tao has a heart of stone, but this is to open up a living space.
In the Age of Discovery, if you miss it, now is the only opportunity.
If you miss this opportunity, there will never be another one in the future.
Ships carrying supplies are sailing on the sea. Because the financial crisis has led to a trade depression, all the spare capacity has been invested in it.
So far, tens of billions of bullets of various types, millions of shells of various calibers, and thousands of tanks and armored vehicles have been transported.
More weapons, equipment and ammunition are still being transported.
In fact, modern wars are fought with logistics.
The country with the most powerful industrial productivity in the world is least afraid of war, and its industrial capacity is enough to crush most countries.
Up to now, the riots have caused millions of deaths and tens of millions of refugees, but no one has paid attention to the refugees buried in the ocean, and they have become food for fish and shrimp.
Only one in ten can escape successfully.
It’s not that journalists from European and American countries have not thought about going to Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines, but it’s too dangerous there. Often they either die or flee quickly on the same day.
Now, even if journalists from European and American countries are beaten to death, these journalists don’t want to go.
Because there is really no personal safety guarantee.
Gulf of Thailand.
The Type 001 light aircraft carrier formation is here, conducting night take-off and landing training.
I saw 15 "Sea Eagle" carrier-based aircraft taking off with weapons hanging, and 9 "Ray Sculpture" helicopters taking off.
On land, some troops are still resisting and colluding with the mob.
Even at night, they are still fighting.
The area controlled by the mob is very small now.
The military headquarters is set up in a relatively secret place.
At this time, several missiles streaked across the night sky and accurately hit the headquarters.
Precision-guided missiles, even at night, have very small errors.
This is also the reason why precision-guided missiles are increasingly attracting the attention of major military powers, which can greatly improve the accuracy of hits.
Hundreds of air-to-ground missiles have dealt a huge blow to the army here. This is not used to bomb ordinary soldiers or mobs, but is targeted.
The combat radius of the "Sea Eagle" carrier-based aircraft is limited. As a short-range/vertical take-off and landing carrier-based aircraft, the "Sea Eagle" carrier-based aircraft has obvious shortcomings, limited payload and small combat radius.
At this time, the "Sea Eagle" carrier-based aircraft is practicing landing training subjects.
At the same time, two Type 052 destroyers are launching cruise missiles, which is a night combat capability exercise.
In peacetime, lacking war experience, the only way to improve and maintain combat effectiveness is to conduct more training.
After completing a series of planned training subjects, the aircraft carrier formation returned and disappeared into the night.
Singapore is holding a meeting.
Hit hard by the financial crisis, Singapore was very nervous about the chaos in Malaysia.
Singapore has a land area of only 712.4 square kilometers, much smaller than Hong Kong, and a population of more than three million. The total strength of Singapore's active forces is 72,500, and the reserve force is 350,000, with relatively good weapons and equipment.
At the first time, Singapore called up the reserve force, strengthened vigilance, dispatched naval warships, and did not allow mobs or refugees to enter Singapore.
Singapore is a small country with a large population. If mobs or refugees pour in, it will put a lot of pressure on Singapore.
After not renewing the contract with the United States and the withdrawal of the US military base in Singapore, Singapore did not relax.
Everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, so there is no need to talk about Liao Zhai.
"I suggest that we send volunteers to Malaysia and Indonesia to help our compatriots!" Singapore's Defense Minister made a bold suggestion.
Singapore is a small country, but there is one advantage to being small, that is, it is easy to turn around.
Just like now, it turns around without any drag.
In the past, Singapore had a small land area and no strategic depth, so it had to be able to "keep the enemy out of the country." For this reason, Li Kuangyao proposed the famous "poisonous shrimp" theory, that is, Singapore should become a "small shrimp that can produce highly toxic substances", which can coexist with "fish schools" and will not be swallowed by "big fish".
This actually emphasizes that Singapore's armed forces must maintain effective deterrence capabilities so that major powers dare not act rashly against Singapore.
This is an important pillar of Singapore's "total defense" national defense policy.
Specifically, Singapore's military security strategy has three principles:
The first is the "poison shrimp" principle. Singapore's military security strategy emphasizes deterrence. First, it makes the opponent intimidated by the combat effectiveness of its army, and second, it makes the opponent intimidated by the resistance of its entire people. In addition to the regular army, Singapore also has 250,000 reserve troops, which can be basically mobilized in just 6 hours. At the same time, Singapore's economic, social, civil, psychological and other aspects of resilience are also very strong.
The second is the "fish school" principle. Singapore is a small country with a small population, and the army has no actual combat experience. It is difficult to ensure national security by its own strength. Therefore, Singapore attaches great importance to joint defense and self-protection, seeks collective security, and relies on collective strength to contain potential enemies. Comparing Singapore to a small fish, a small fish must be with other fish to survive, be in a school of fish, and rely on grouping to protect itself.
The third is the "big fish" principle. Singapore talks about containment, relying on a two-pronged approach, both to join the "fish school" and to hold the big fish. This big fish is the United States.
Singapore believes that "the United States is a friendly big fish that can prevent other big fish from causing trouble in the region." Therefore, Singapore has always supported the United States to maintain a military presence in the region and introduce the US military power into Singapore. If someone wants to eat Singapore, the small fish, in addition to considering the five-nation defense and ASEAN, they must also consider whether the big fish, the United States, agrees. In this way, Singapore can use the power of other countries to achieve the purpose of protecting its own security.
However, as a model of small country survival, Singapore has a very keen sense of smell and ability to judge the situation. When it is dangerous, it will let the big fish, the United States, leave at the first time, and then turn around as a whole.
Now it is better, and it is even more necessary to express its attitude, form a volunteer army, and send a volunteer army.
Recently, Singapore has often said that the descendants of Yan and Huang, the Chinese Yan and Huang, the descendants of Yan and Huang in the world are one family, and everyone should unite as one to overcome difficulties together.
