Where my arm chair generals at? What the actual best way to pull this off? Apparently only springtime is possible because other than that the strait is too choppy. Eastern shore is all rocks so you can’t even do a landing over there.Also can’t do any of the tactics from ukraine since basements aren’t a thing due to the water table, there a ton of parking garages and subway stations though.
Just do a blocked and starve them until they surrender. It's not like any other state would intervene and Taiwanese can't breach the blockade themselves.
>>64749892Doesn’t that just give the US time to prep and counter?
Do we really need another china/usa shit flinging thread?
>>64749896Perphaps. But US wouldn't do anything (at least up until 2028).
>>64749898no, but chink shills insist on making them. I think they get off on the abuse
>>64749902Yea but you forget the strait is too choppy, can only do this in springtime.
>>64749906You don't really need to have ships stationed in the strait itself to block Taiwan from international supply.
>>64749877China has been demoralized. They saw what happened to their ally Maduro, and are now rethinking their plans. They're utterly shook, it's amazing.Doubt they'll try anything for Taiwan for another 10 years or more.
>>64749892That's an act of war. You now have a coalition of nations challenge you and try to break it. If you open fire on them, you better be prepared for the consequences.
>>64749896Taiwan is totally reliant on daily shipping. The idea is that Taiwan would fold before the US concentrates enough power to break through while the PRC is able to withstand their own shipping being disrupted. The PRC wouldn't need a full capitulation, just Taiwan surrendering all foreign affairs to Beijing and maybe a token police presence on the island.Whether or not that's viable, I'm not going to address. But it's the logic behind China's PLA reforms and "string of pearls" strategy.
>>64749877>What the actual best way to pull this off?Don't.
Good luck.
>>64749877>>64749892Another chinkshill thread, great. Please refer to >>64702811The exercise was a total flop.
What would military operations in a modern east-asian megacity other than an absolute bloodbath for the attackers?
>>64750124How do you make meaningful progress capturing hundreds of square miles of streets like this without fighting block by block for years?
>>64750134How would you even begin to go about securing a place this? It just seems like such an obvious fools errand. Even worse than Ukraine.
>>64749877The HF series of anti-ship missiles have ranges that would put almost every ship in the Taiwanese straights within range. So it'd be a shooting gallery. Cruise missiles would be hitting mainland staging grounds and ports. Good luck getting any landing ship near them.
>>64750160HF-3 has shorter range, but larger payload.
>>64749877Repeated nuclear strikek on Taipei
>>64749877I'm no expert, but to me it seems more worthwhile to focus on expanding into Russia instead
>>64750160>>64750166Don't forget the Type 12 littered across the Senkaku islands. 600+ launch tubes across 7 regiments.
>>64749892What's your plan for the naval drones?
Don't bother with a D-day style plan, use multiple airdrop operation (not helicopter operations, actual paradrops) to secure position from which to assault and secure ports (or at least severely weaken local anti-ship capacities), after which the ships start landing troops for pushing to taipeiThe key point is in not using predictable landing spots to secure the foothold - instead, use unpredictable air drop patterns. As long as you can prevent funneling at the ports, strategy wise the taiwanese have very little resource in not being overran.If running a paradrop operation in the 21st century sounds horrendous against any competent defense, just send in sleeper cells by the hundreds/thousands. Frogmen, dedicated vehicles, whatever it takes to secure that foothold - everything after will practically play itself out.
>>64750256Indeed. The hellscape has materialized far faster than china ever could've predicted.
>Attack midway through the America 2028 election cycle>Have your social media bots constantly post propaganda and inflame tensions between Americans>If a democrat gets in, claim the election was stolen and rile up the far right to incite a civil war>if that fails, constantly boost right-wing viewpoints which will advocate for appeasement and an end to war >There will be no unity between the political parties so one will betray America's interest if they can secure the 2032 election>Throw bodies at Taiwan on Russia's level, you can silence all dissent in China for however long>Constantly drive home just how many Americans are dying, if its anywhere near 200 a week, the American public will revolt against the war>Right-wing media personalities will shill against the war, boost their messages etc etcChina will win Taiwan because America will let them.
Does xinnie da pooh have a son he can sacrifice to try and take taiwan?
>>64750266>use multiple airdrop operation (not helicopter operations, actual paradrops) to secure position from which to assault and secure ports>use unpredictable air drop patterns>just send in sleeper cells by the hundreds/thousandsyeah bro, just fly your unpredictable airdrops in over 100+ miles of open waterjust secure a foothold in a hyper-urban concrete hellscapejust smuggle in hundreds of thousands of sleeper agentsjust win bro, it's so easy, just do it
>>64750294I've seen this picture posted numerous times and I still don't get the joke/message in it. Either way, I remember eating this stuff and it's good.
>>64750102>the chinkshill melting down because the Maduro Maneuver happened right in the middle of the threadgeg
>>64750568 It refers to Mao Anying Mao Zedong's son. that died in the Korean war.
>>64750576Ah. The successor that got BBQ'd from what I've read.
>>64749877First things first: nothing is going to happen. Xi Ping Pong will die before he can launch his One China reunification campaign. His successor will abdicate the Chinese claim to the island of Taiwan. Nothing will change except for the rhetoric about retaking Taiwan, that will simply disappear as if it never happened.>how would I invade a large and well-defended island as the superior forceCut power and internet access for the island. Blockade all maritime air travel. Set up an aid corridor so that Taiwan doesn't starve to death. Continue this until Taiwan gives into Chinese demands. Threaten against international intervention, call intervention "acts of war" to be responded to accordingly.>the world will condemn ChinaYes they will, China won't care. They are the world's manufacturing hub and are rapidly advancing their tech sector to match the US. China could shut down all exports and cripple the global economy (theirs as well but they care less about that).
>>64750592 If west taiwan shuts down it manufacturing it will die. I would love to see that happen.
>>64749877I wonder what the magazine depth is for Chinese missiles.Iran spent decades building off their arsenal and some say they blew a significant portion of it in little more than a week last year.The chinks would have to spend huge amounts of them to suppress Taiwan, and then keep at it for at least a week, but would also certainly need huge amounts of them to hit American facilities in the Pacific.This is not even counting if the SEAmonkeys Japs get involved.
>>64750592>USN simply parks their ships outside missile range and blockades youWhat now?
>>64750613Southeast Asia doesn't care about Taiwan, to them the Taiwanese are no less evil than their mainlander cousinsIts just Japan and the USAKorea doesn't give two shits about Taiwan either, they'd be glad for TSMC to get bombed and Samsung/SK Hynix takes over the global semiconductor industry
>>64750617They waste time and resources, what did you expect?>>64750601Mainland China would have the capacity to cover the gap between blockade and exfiltration of Taiwans capabilities.
>>64750626They don't care about Taiwan but you can be damn sure they would like to stick it to china
>>64750673>time and resources You mean the time and resources that China needs to operate it's economy and feed it's people?
Use the now established precedent to have the PLA fly into Taipei, apprehend the rebel leaders, and bring them back to the mainland to stand trial for the crimes they have committed. Nobody would create military action over a policing matter.
>>64750694>PLA fly into taipeiI presume they are going to do this while riding on magical unicorns?
>>64749877>What the actual best way to pull this off?Going north into russia instead
>>64749892What do you do when the USN begins escorting convoys in and out? Note: the convoys pass directly between China and Taiwan and go back and forth several times in order to dunk on you in an FON exercise.Your response?
>>64750698no, they will print out the precedents and use them as magic carpets to fly to Taipei
>>64749896US can't even sanction russia or provide ukies weapons, good luck expecting them to fight chinks on behalf of someone else
>>64750708>precedent A precedent gives you the right, not the capability to do something
>>64750576And why fried rice? Mao's son got fried?
>>64750726He was apparently frying rice when he got fried
>>64750592>They are the world's manufacturing hubThis cuts them more than their clients unironically
>>64750731Nice, fried squared
>>64750737That guy is hilarious >uhh yeah the chinks totally wouldn't care about ruining the industrial base they've been building up for 40 yeast because uhhhhhhhh
