Trump said that nuclear submarine technology is 25 years ahead of China. Is this true? What stimulated the US military general to take off his uniform and leave?
The military advantage that the United States has long been proud of over other countries is gradually being equalled or even surpassed by China, which makes the White House and the Pentagon uneasy. How to avoid maintaining an advantage over China in terms of military power is an important issue that they need to face directly. In the absence of the ability to change this trend, the exasperated US President Trump can only rely on "bragging" to protect the face of the US military's number one in the world.Trump said that the United States 'nuclear submarine technology is "25 years ahead of China." Is this really the case?
Trump said that the U.S. nuclear submarine technology is far ahead, at least 25 years ahead of China, so he also boasted that “the U.S. Navy’s nuclear submarines are often covertly approaching coastal activities of rival countries such as China and Russia, and have never been discovered.” Objectively speaking, the U.S. Navy currently has 71 nuclear submarines, leading China at least in number, and, of course, has a certain technological advantage over Chinese similar equipment, but there is not a 25-year gap, as Trump boasts.
This is not the Chinese saying, but the objective fact that the U.S. Wall Street Journal acknowledged in the report.The report says that China's 093B nuclear submarine has made the U.S. Navy feel a great deterrent pressure with the build speed and comprehensive performance of three to four a year. At present, the United States is falling into a period of technological stagnation, but China is making double breakthroughs in production capacity and technological iteration. This underwater power competition between China and the United States is just like the "three catapults" of China's Fujian ship and aircraft carrier. It will eventually reshape the strategic landscape of the Western Pacific region.
In fact, when Trump thought that the strength of Russian nuclear submarines was the second largest in the world, the comprehensive performance of the 093B nuclear submarine currently disclosed by the Chinese Navy had surpassed that of the Russian Navy's latest Yasen M-class attack nuclear submarine. Although China's most advanced Type 095 attack nuclear submarine has not been officially disclosed, according to outside speculation, the comprehensive performance of this nuclear submarine has reached the technical level of the improved "Virginia" class of the US Navy. So, for Trump's speech, everyone should listen to it, don't be serious. After all, in his mouth sprang out the "six-generation test flight", and high-speed supersonic missiles up to 20 Mach, has now been confirmed to be a political propaganda.However, Trump boasted that the U.S. nuclear submarine was “far ahead” and the U.S. army colonel disguised himself as a man!
What's going on, deliberately tearing down Trump's platform? On the second day after U.S. Defense Secretary Hegseth convened a meeting of U.S. military generals around the world to give a lecture, U.S. Air Force General Bissier, who has been the supreme commander of the U.S. Air Force Global Strike Command for many years and commanded all U.S. strategic nuclear strike forces, applied for retirement. The reason why he made public his application for retirement on social media is for "personal and family reasons". It would be normal for Bisil to apply for retirement, but the problem is that since he was summoned by Hagesese to "lecture" hundreds of US military generals, many senior US military generals have announced their resignations.
It is not surprising that Hergezes, although expensive as the US defense secretary, he is actually a "big head soldier" in the US military for a few years. and he had previously given an "ultimate communiqué" to more than 800 U.S. generals: either obey or disguise! In response, some American media pointed out that Hegseth recently convened a very unusual meeting with top military officials, exposing the differences between the Pentagon's political and military leadership.
Of course, these differences require the acceptance of U.S. generals, as their president has said before: whoever disobeyed can go, but the premise is “self-destructive advance”. so to say, Beatrice and some other U.S. generals at this time decided to leave the military, so-called “personal and family reasons” may be an excuse, their departure is an expression of disobedience to the Trump administration. The reason is obvious. Trump is trying to transform the army raised by American taxpayers into a "special army" that is absolutely loyal to him by eliminating dissidents and firing those who oppose him.
The Trump administration’s new Defense Strategy appears to be “defining how to allocate resources and deploy troops around the world,” but is more like an attempt to “forcibly transform” the military, which soon raises concerns among senior U.S. military officials. Several current and former officials say U.S. military leaders have expressed “serious concerns” about the Trump administration’s upcoming defense strategy. In this regard, senior U.S. military officials warned that China is currently rapidly advancing its military strength, and Trump's practice "is weakening the military superiority of the United States in the Pacific region".
Now, however, Trump seems less interested in competing with China in the Western Pacific, but is more keen to deploy troops and weapons to the southern U.S. border, and to send National Guard and Naval Corps to a number of Democrats-controlled cities to assist federal law enforcers in deportation operations, according to Trump himself, is to curb “uncontrolled” urban crime. In other words, Trump’s attempt to use the U.S. military as a “private tool” for suppressing the Democratic Party at home is inevitable, causing intense discontent within the U.S. military.
As a result, as the US media said, the reason why the "National Defense Strategy" issued by the Trump administration has sparked controversy is his unconventional approach to the military and the latest challenges faced by senior military officials, including choosing between being loyal to Trump or taking off his uniform and leaving. As a result, people familiar with the National Defense Strategy editorial process say the military is increasingly disappointed that the strategy is Trump's highly personalized approach to foreign policy. As a result, the increasing number of U.S. generals choosing to resign may be a protest against Trump’s new military strategy.
In this context, Trump advocated that the U.S. nuclear submarines were "far ahead" of China and Russia, in fact, it is more like a colourful insidious embodiment, for the simple reason that when he uses the U.S. military to suppress political opponents at home, the outside will inevitably leave security gaps. Therefore, Trump at this time boasted to the outside how powerful the U.S. nuclear submarines are, it should be in the heart of the little man, fearing that China and Russia and other opponents will launch a military offensive on the opportunity of U.S. civil unrest.
