It’s like no one understands Opsec anymore. “Here’s a detailed list of likely things this Special Operations Team will likely be expected to undertake in the event of armed conflict. And they’ve been training as such for over a year.”
Though a Cruise Missile at the 3GD as soon as hostilities begin would essentially neutralize a significant portion of Chinese Industry and the Economy. For months if not years. And trigger a humanitarian crisis that would make the clusterfuck that was Helene look minor. As there’s something like 400 Million people at a conservative estimate downstream from the Damn and a few Dozen major urban and industrial centers. Not to mention likely catch more than one Military Unit either in their barracks or on the Road as they’d be in the process of redeploying and shifting around.
It would most certainly be classified as a War Crime though by any but the most ardent of pragmatists and War Hawks though. As the death toll of non-combatants would almost certainly be staggering to put it mildly.
Alternatively. And likely at a far lesser cost to the Civilian Population. Dump a few pallets of Semiautomatic Rifles. Ammunition. Maybe a few RPGs for anti-tank duty. And maybe some Spec Ops instructors. And the CCP would likely be dealing with Rebels in short order. They’re already having issues with exercising control over some of the more rural Villages and Towns. Not to mention some cities. Give them weapons and the know how. They could cause all hell across the interior and redirect Chinese troops to internal police duty.
