the world is at stake

Bush Jr. looked at the Secretary of Defense again.

'La Shi' also shrugged, "The Seventh Fleet is in a state of war, and the US military in the entire Western Pacific can launch an attack on China at any time. But now we can only say that we love peace."

Chapter 66 All Quiet in Taipei

Twelve hours passed, and the whole of Taipei was plunged into darkness.

Ma Ying-jeou stood at the window of the Taipei City Government building, looking at the empty squares and streets, feeling very lost.

The war continued, but the Americans did not come, let alone the Japanese.The island's external communication resumed after six hours of interruption, and people inside and outside the island are exchanging information frequently to report that they are safe.

The People's Liberation Army has not yet controlled the entire island, and Taiwan troops in some areas are still resisting or even counterattacking.The Taiwanese media took this opportunity to go to the streets to interview and resume broadcasting news to the whole station.

The background of the host and the studio has not changed, but the audience will obviously feel that these guys who usually engage in "ancient and modern off-stage" have started to correct their accents and try to show their substandard Mandarin.

For ordinary people, life has not changed much. At most, they are watching world news on weekdays and discovering that war is happening around them for the first time.

After the initial panic, people are still a little fresh and curious.

But for a professional politician like Ma Ying-jeou, there is only sadness in his heart, extremely sad.

The Taipei City Government is located in the Xinyi Special Economic Zone. Walking west along Ren'ai Road is the bombed-out Presidential Palace.

How much Ma Ying-jeou wants to enter the presidential palace from the city government in the next few years. Even if he can't complete this step in the Republic of China, he can change his regime and become the governor of Taiwan Province.

But now... the mainland has no kindness at all, and no face at all.Although its official media has propagated on the island, allowing civil affairs and police affairs to continue to operate, it has no intention of retaining Taiwan's original ruling system.

Such an obvious signal is to completely clean up Taiwan's political circles.

To the west of the Taipei City Government is the Taipei City Council, also full of frustrated politicians.They jumped up and down, asking for help from the international community at one time, and courting the mainland at the other.

Someone has already put up a big red flag, drove around the city in a campaign stance, and then went to the captured Songshan Airport to appeal.

The People's Liberation Army paratroopers who controlled the airport detained the car on the spot, confiscated the red flag, and threw the person into a small black room for confinement.Any attempt to grandstand and gain attention will be punished.

The mainland naturally has the idea of ​​the mainland, and there is no need for speculators on the island to express it.

This point has been publicized through the Taiwan media that has resumed normal broadcasting - stability, don't make trouble, and when the PLA controls the situation well, it will naturally come to listen to public opinion.

Any attempt to manipulate public opinion to confuse the public, or even fight against the central government, is the enemy of the People's Liberation Army.

Ma Ying-jeou knew that he was speaking to people like himself.Now it's war, piss off the big guns, they'll literally kill.

No matter how much authority you have in Taiwan before, one bullet will be reimbursed.

People will forget about you very quickly and take it as a joke - just like the few 'Tiger' tanks in the city hall square that tried to be a car, and ended up in ruins.

After the People's Liberation Army suppressed the ground's anti-aircraft firepower, it quickly used air assault troops to rob the airport, and when it robbed the airport, it used large transport planes to transport heavy equipment.

Seeing that the general situation was over, the 269th Motorized Infantry Brigade stationed in Taipei neither surrendered nor evacuated. They could only withdraw into the urban area, trying to delay the time of defeat by ordinary people.

This force belongs to a stubborn faction in the Taiwan military. It has united with the puppet military police 202 Command, which is responsible for guarding the center, in an attempt to build a solid position around the city government to wait for changes.

After occupying Songshan Airport with enough troops, the People's Liberation Army immediately dispatched an armored company that was not full of size, and cooperated with a battalion of airborne troops and two "Wuzhi [-]" to attack the stubborn enemy, and did not give the opponent a chance to build a stable position in the urban area.

The 269th brigade has a tank company arranged near the city government building, and more than a dozen "Yonghu" rely on tall buildings as concealment, trying to ambush the attacking PLA.

From the perspective of the backbone of the Taiwan army, they have a geographical advantage, and the use of crossfire and infantry in street battles is enough to deal with three or four times the Communist army.

In urban areas, the communist army should not dare to use powerful bombs, and the threat of its air force is relatively small.At most, it is to worry about armed helicopters, so the 202nd Gendarmerie Command has deployed individual air defense teams in multiple high-rise buildings.

Condescending, as long as the building is not demolished, it must be able to stick to it.

From the perspective of this brigade, at least I can last for 48 hours.Even if it fails in the end, it can be regarded as a brilliant record, enough to be recorded in the annals of history, leaving an image of perseverance and unyielding to the people of Taiwan.

Mayor Ma Ying-jeou witnessed the battle from the city hall building.He wholeheartedly cheered for the brave 269th Brigade of the Taiwan Army, hoping to see a miracle, and maybe he could get in touch and get some capital.

Who knew that the deaf and blind communist tanks, which were considered sluggish and clumsy in street battles, were like mobile fortresses. With the cooperation of infantry combat vehicles of the airborne troops, they quickly pierced into the urban defense circle.

The infantry of the 269th Brigade occupying a high-rise building fired anti-tank missiles at the '99A' tank from top to bottom, thinking that at such a close range, the weak armor on the top of the tank would be pierced by one blow.

An eye-popping thing happened.

The slow "drag" anti-tank missile was intercepted by the tank's own active defense system.

At first glance, the tank was shrouded in flames and smoke from the explosion and was already damaged.But in the next second, the ZBD airborne combat vehicle of the People's Liberation Army was accompanied by machine guns, blowing up the Taiwan army's anti-tank vehicle team that was still in the guided state.

Together with the battle, the sound of guns and guns is the signal.A few 'Brave Tigers' thought they could take advantage of it, rushed out of the hidden place in the street, trying to attack the paratroopers behind the communist tanks.

But before the smoke and dust from the "drag" missiles dispersed, the heavy armored '76A' transported by the Il-99 rushed out, its tracks ran over the road, and the front of the 'Yonghu' was hard.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of Ma Ying-jeou's building, he witnessed three 'Yonghu' beating up a '99A'.One of the 'Brave Tigers' took advantage of the cover of its companions and opened fire on '99A' first.

The moment the cannon fired, the glass windows of many buildings near the city hall were shattered.Including Mayor Ma, at least hundreds of civil servants and city councilors in Taipei hid behind the windows to cheer and cheer.

However, after the shelling, the 105mm tank gun of 'Yonghu' failed to penetrate the '99A' on the opposite side. It only exploded a piece of heavy explosive reactive armor and left a stain.

The '99A' on the opposite side fired back a shot, and the 'Yonghu', which was attracting fire from the other direction, lifted the cover of the sky - a tungsten alloy long rod armor-piercing core was ejected from the 125mm muzzle, blowing up the opponent's turret at close range .

The sound of the shells exploding was more intense and deafening than the shelling just now.

Hundreds of glass windows were instantly shattered on the buildings of the city government and the city council, and the sound waves of the explosion could be heard within a kilometer of the surrounding area.The ground even trembled, causing the buildings to tremble.

Many people heard and witnessed it, and were frightened by the explosion, trembling and paralyzed in shock.

The autoloader quickly sends an armor-piercing round to the '99A's barrel, and the turret swings.The commander with better viewing and aiming conditions surpassed the gunner, and aimed the muzzle at the opponent who came out from another direction to take advantage.

The second shot happened at the same time.

The 'Draft Tiger' on the opposite side tried to flank the '99A' but waited for its tracks to roll out, the turret to poke around the street corner, and its gunner and commander found themselves facing the enemy's heavily armored front.

After the cannon fired, another piece of the 'explosive anti' on the '99A' turret disappeared, and the composite armor was also damaged, and an obvious bullet mark appeared on the right side of the gun barrel.

The bullet core fired by the opponent is also hard armor, but it breaks during the strength confrontation, and then shatters and flies.

The firepower of the 125mm tank gun is significantly stronger, not only piercing through the opponent's turret that is also covered with "explosive anti", but also easily shooting through its base armor.

This time, the 'Yonghu' didn't fly the turret, but the nearly [-]-ton hull collapsed on the spot.

The 'Yonghu' who fired first was only now loading its second shell.

However, when the crew members found that they could not penetrate the opponent's frontal armor, they became timid and hesitated. Instead of forming a crossfire with their companions, they wanted to retreat to the hidden corner of the street.

But there is no chance to withdraw.

The People's Liberation Army paratroopers who made a detour appeared behind the enemy tanks, carrying a lightweight DZJ individual bazooka and firing it behind the opponent.

The [-]mm multi-purpose rocket penetrated the back of the 'Yonghu' turret's head, and the armor-piercing jet shot out of the turret, killing the commander, gunner and loader on the spot.

The surviving pilot was frightened out of his wits by the explosion and the shock. Fearing that the ammunition would explode, he hurriedly opened the hatch and climbed out.

But when he came out, he found that the front was the thick muzzle of a '99A', and the rear was the muzzle of a group of airborne troops.

He could only lie on the ground and raise his hands in surrender.

Three against one, can you lose? !

Ma Ying-jeou stood in front of the broken glass windows of the city government building, beating his chest and feet.

There are also many officials and civil servants who are upset together. Everyone is used to the mainland side always being "kind", "friendly" and "giving benefits", so it is very uncomfortable to be beaten suddenly.

The '99A' tank company that was dissatisfied with the formation, plus the cooperating airborne troops and Wuzhi, stunned a hole in the defense of the 269th brigade that the Taiwan army was holding on to.

As time went on, the defensive line was torn even wider.

The mainland has leased nearly two hundred Il-76s from Russia.The strength of the People's Liberation Army troops transported by air is rapidly rising, and there are also marine brigades conducting amphibious landings from the beach, and they are also seizing ports and traffic arteries.

As the sky gradually turned dark, the Taiwanese army in downtown Taipei was retreating steadily.It was expected to resist for 48 hours, but the result was that they failed to resist for [-] hours and had to be defeated and fled.

This is already the highlight moment of the Taiwan military. No matter how many ideas the command has, it is useless for the poor grassroots to realize it.

Ma Ying-jeou sat in the city government building.

Some staff advised him to flee in order to make a comeback.But he shook his head and asked with a wry smile: "Where can he go? A-Bian is dead, and the whole of Taiwan is under blockade. Foreign aid can't come in. We can only wait for the People's Liberation Army to arrest him."

Seeing that the mayor of Taipei was so depressed, the staff left one after another.

In the early hours of the morning, several [-]-ton ro-ro ships berthed at the wharves in Taipei, Keelung, Taichung, and Kaohsiung.After the Marines took control of the beachheads and ports, the first Army units landed on Taiwan.

The strength of the People's Liberation Army on the island doubled instantly, freeing up hands to do many non-military tasks.

A group of army troops marched into Taipei to take charge of public security, and were guided by local latent personnel to occupy key places such as water supply, power supply and communication.

At three o'clock in the morning, an infantry company ran to the Taipei City Government Building, with the purpose of controlling the administrative agency, and accidentally discovered that Mayor Ma was actually in the messy building.

Before the battle, the troops issued a list of Taiwan's war criminals and key personnel.Ma Ying-jeou is in the top ten of the second list.

It would be polite to come to take over the PLA company commander, but he could not refuse Ma Ying-jeou's immediate supervision and be taken to the mainland for investigation.

Ma Ying-jeou also wanted to argue that since he was not a war criminal, he had no reason to accept deportation.But the soldier didn't talk nonsense, and allowed him to call his family to tell his whereabouts, and then escorted him to Songshan Airport.

The runway destroyed by ballistic missiles during the day has been repaired, and several passenger planes are waiting to take off.The terminal building was under military control, and the terminal hall was crowded with war criminals and important officials on the island escorted from all over Taipei.

According to the mainland's thinking, all the chief officials at the county and city levels in Taiwan must be replaced.All the families of politicians entrenched here will be liquidated, and the entire island will undergo socialist transformation.

Ma Ying-jeou was also given preferential treatment, and the People's Liberation Army allowed his family to come and take care of him.But in the VIP room of the terminal, he saw several people on the list of war criminals.

For example, Masao Iwasato, who lives in Shilin Cui Shanzhuang in Taipei.Most of his family fled, but he himself was still living in the villa and was arrested.

Although Ah Bian died, his wife was also arrested as a family member of a war criminal.Lu Xiulian, whose face was covered with blood, was also handcuffed and escorted by two PLA soldiers.

There are also many war criminals who fled to Japan and the United States, and the mainland demanded their repatriation one by one.Although it is difficult to get it back, the attitude is still necessary.

The group of people who can meet in the VIP room of the terminal are all brothers and sisters, and they don't say anything about each other.Each chose a seat and sat down, waiting to be sent to the mainland.

But for a moment, someone walked in briskly.Ma Ying-jeou raised his head and glanced, surprised that the person in front of him looked familiar, but couldn't remember the name.

The visitor also glanced at the VIP room, and shouted happily in an extremely serious atmosphere: "It's a pleasure to meet you, everyone. Today is really a historic moment. It's so rare to see you scumbags in the current environment."

Hearing the other party speak, Ma Ying-jeou suddenly remembered who this person was.He raised his hand and exclaimed, "You are... Zhou Qingfeng, the president of Shengguang."

The visitor continued to laugh, and turned his head to look over, "That's right, I am the richest man in the world who looks like a fool."

No... Ma Ying-jeou was not surprised by Zhou Qingfeng's identity, he was surprised, "Why are you in Taipei?"

Zhou Qingfeng raised his eyebrows, "I have been in Taiwan for several months. Your police and internal security departments have been arresting me. I have been cleaning up garbage on the island that is not conducive to national unity.

I've even been on your TV show, what's the deal? "

"You...you...you..." Ma Ying-jeou couldn't speak, his fingers trembling: "Could it be true that you are a mainland spy?"

Zhou Qingfeng still nodded and said with a smile: "I have always admitted it, and I have never denied it since I started making troubles in Hong Kong. Besides, I don't bother to lie and never pretend to be myself.

Unlike you despicable politicians who always say what you mean.It's extremely hypocritical to pretend to be cooperation when you obviously want to fight, and turn your face when you take advantage of it.But all this is coming to an end, and a new era is coming.

By the way, let me tell you that Taiwan will enter military control for a period of five years.I myself will be the chief executive during the military control period, responsible for connecting this messy place with the mainland. "

Speaking of this, Zhou Qingfeng added something in his mind - but this world may not last for five years, even one year.But it still feels great to be the first chief executive of the Taiwan Special Administrative Region!

Chapter 67 Military Management Committee

In the 24 hours since the start of the war, the People's Liberation Army has already squeezed the space for the Taiwan military's activities into the mountainous area.

According to the plan of the Democratic Progressive Party, there should be an American father's thigh to hug at this moment. The international community is speaking out for justice and exerting diplomatic pressure on the dictatorial and bullying mainland government.

Indeed, the Bush administration did not assume that the Taiwan Strait war did not exist.The White House announced the recall of the ambassador to China and asked the Chinese ambassador to the United States to leave.

Immediately, the two sides began to expel each other's diplomats in large numbers, closed consulates, and imposed sanctions on each other's officials and companies, including prohibiting cooperation and freezing assets.

The two American aircraft carriers that were originally transferred to the Middle East had to turn around again and return to the Western Pacific.The Pentagon is continuing to increase troops to various military bases in East Asia in response to the so-called 'Chinese expansion'.

This is what the United States did when Xinjiang attacked the "three forces"; this is what the United States did during Trump's trade war; this is what the United States did when Hong Kong's "National Security Law" was introduced;

The sanctions are really not strong enough, and the two sides are only harmed equally.Far less vicious than when the US sanctioned Russia's 'occupation' of Crimea.

The only thing that the Taiwan army who hid in the mountainous area can do is to use the preset positions in the mountainous area to carry out shelling, and the target is the troops of the People's Liberation Army at the beach port airport.

It depends on how quickly the PLA's anti-artillery radars, long-endurance drones, and air assault troops respond.As long as the Taiwan army's sporadic shelling is suppressed, the strawberry soldiers will have to complain in the mountains in a few days.

After 72 hours of fighting, the People's Liberation Army announced that the main battle on the island had ended, and the rest was finishing work.Taiwan's "Military Management Committee" began to be formed, with Xiao Jinlang as the chairman of the committee.

Uncle Zhou's "Chief Executive" dream came to nothing.

Also lost are members of Taiwan's parliament at all levels, as well as the 'legislators' who fight in the Legislative Yuan from time to time.For example, Qiu Liwei, who has always been known as "outspoken", was called to register with the "Military Management Committee", and then he was sent home as a civilian.

On the way home, Qiu Liwei passed several streets where PLA armored vehicles and soldiers were stationed.

Usually about half a squad of soldiers, led by the squad leader and squad deputy, are fully armed, standing upright, scanning the street with serious eyes, maintaining discipline, and displaying military might.

From time to time, armed helicopters fly over the sky, or surveillance drones are patrolling.

The streets have returned to normal, and there has been no change in the market.The work that should go to work, the life that should be lived.The sound of cars, people, and horns, Wanmin found himself accepting a world-shattering change naturally.

This is obviously a war that will affect the geopolitical structure of East Asia and the world, and a battle that will change the future and future of the Chinese nation.But what happened was flat, not as vigorous or exciting as people imagined.

The bustling city was still the same as before. Qiu Liwei walked across the street and glanced at the People's Liberation Army standing guard like passers-by. He felt that the temperament of the soldiers in the mainland was different from that on the island.

The former is more resolute and strong, with iron bones; the latter is like a sissy, with no momentum at all-practicing in summer and winter in winter, which does not exist in Taiwan.People do not train when the temperature exceeds 32 degrees.
