[Why does China activate the second-level combat readiness every Spring Festival? 】

[This is a question raised by a foreign netizen on the Internet]

[The Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival of the year for China. However, amidst this festive atmosphere, the military is filled with a tense and serious atmosphere]

[There is a widely circulated saying in the military: "When the common people are celebrating a festival, the troops are going through a disaster."]

[This sentence reveals the soldiers’ sense of responsibility and mission]

[They clearly realize that the country's security has no division of responsibilities and no distinction between day and night]

[We must always remain vigilant to prevent countries with ulterior motives from taking advantage of the situation]

[A netizen from Xiaorizi retorted: The Chinese people's worries are unnecessary. Who would do such a shameless thing? ]

[A foreign netizen below retorted: It is unbelievable that this sentence would come from the mouth of a person from a small country. After an earthquake, everyone in China was busy with disaster relief, but a foreign rescue team happened to get lost. What was even more surprising was that they unexpectedly ran to the vicinity of a Chinese military base. If I remember correctly, that rescue team was from a small country.]

"The enemy will not think our festival is worth waiting for, they will only think it is an opportunity to take advantage of. Don't worry, we not only have festival firecrackers and fireworks, we also have big fireworks and the mission-delivering Dongfeng Express!"

"Huaxia: During these happy days, I hope you won't do anything unhappy [sinister]"

"We have done this before. During the Korean War, we launched an attack on Christmas Day. You can watch the interview video to see what the veterans said. So if our enemies really want to attack you, they won't care whether you celebrate the holiday or not."

"I think this is because of the end-of-year military budget assessment. The navy next door brought an old Qing Dynasty ship to pay New Year's greetings."

"Because you can't guarantee that some people won't attack you during festivals. There have been cases in history where people were attacked during festivals in some military campaigns around the world. In ancient times, during the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates would take advantage of festivals along the coast to come ashore and rob.

So, we must be on guard against others, especially since there are a lot of people around us who are eyeing us, although they are all relatively inexperienced and the powerful ones are all on the other side of the ocean. But, it is like a bunch of flies and mosquitoes buzzing around us, and we are sure to get bitten."

"During the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates invaded us during the Chinese New Year, which led to the custom in Guangdong that the Chinese New Year should be celebrated on the third day of the first lunar month. I'm not sure, but it is true."

"I only now understand that there is a deeper meaning behind the border guards' New Year greetings to the common people. Salute to the soldiers! It is because of you that we can have a happy and peaceful life [support][support]"

"Because there are people guarding in the darkness, more people can live in the sunshine."

Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty only needed to raise his eyes slightly to see the evil ambitions of the Japanese pirates.

Humph! How dare a mere Japanese pirate come to our Ming Dynasty to cause trouble? We don't have any food or rice, but we do have plenty of guns. I see that Lan Yu has been quite idle recently, so it's time to find him something to do!

Generals who led wars in ancient times: For soldiers, it is almost impossible to celebrate the holidays happily!

As the saying goes, all is fair in war. If you say to others on the battlefield, "Can we not fight on holidays?", then you are definitely finished.

Sometimes, festivals that require people to celebrate happily hide the risk of foreign enemies taking advantage of our country's weakness. This is a bloody lesson that history has taught us, and we dare not forget it.
