Taiwan authority leader Tsai Ing-wen held a high-level security meeting in Taiwan on the 27th, and decided that starting from January 1, 2024, draftees born after January 1, 2005, The period of compulsory service was changed from 4 months to 1 year, and the wages were increased accordingly. Jiang Qichen, a KMT public opinion representative who served in the 101st Amphibious Reconnaissance Battalion of the Taiwan Army (commonly known as " Sea Dragon Frog Soldiers "), pointed out that he asked Qiu Guozheng, director of the defense department of the Taiwan authorities, how the military service was extended to one year. How is this date calculated? of? Qiu bluntly said that because this way, he would not be stuck in the legislature of the Taiwan region, and it would be the fastest without amending the "law". On the 29th, Jiang Qichen said on the island's political commentary program "The Big Head of the Common People" that the most important key behind the extension of military service is what is the overall defense strategic goal of the DPP authorities? Is it time to switch from "deterrence" to "street fighting"? During Ma Ying-jeou’s period, it was called “the strategy of effective deterrence”, while Tsai Ing-wen called it “the strategy of multiple layers of deterrence” when he first took office. Fang scrupled the cost and did not dare to attack rashly.

Jiang Qichen bluntly said that the strategic goal of the DPP authorities is obviously that now everyone can only prepare for "street fighting", which is the so-called "hand-to-hand combat". Go directly to sacrifice, which is contrary to our past ideas. It should be calculated, how much do we need as a whole, and how much of it can be done by recruiting? How bad is not enough, should it be dealt with by conscription or otherwise? Rather than simply changing the service period from 4 months to 1 year.

Not only that, Jiang Qichen even broke the news. He asked Qiu Guozheng on the 28th why the service period changed from 4 months to 1 year? How is the date of 1 year calculated? Qiu directly said a word to the Kuomintang party group: "Because there is no need to amend the law for one year, and there is no need to waste time, because there are two in the ' military service law ', one is 4 months of training, and the other is 1 year of compulsory service. , so the recovery of compulsory service is the fastest, and you don’t need to be stuck in your Taiwan legislature!” Jiang criticized bitterly, which shows how sloppy the DPP authorities are. Hurry up", just thinking about how to avoid going through the legislature of the Taiwan region. It doesn't need 2 years of preparation at all, 2 days is enough.
