国防部：“台独”武装挑衅引战 终将自取灭亡

MND: War Provocations by the “Taiwan Independence” Armed Forces Will Only Lead to Self-Destruction

7月14日下午，国防部新闻局副局长、国防部新闻发言人蒋斌大校就近期涉军问题发布消息。

记者：据报道，台防务部门负责人近日称首支“海马斯”多管火箭导弹连成军，有效提升台军精准打击能力和整体防卫效能。此外，台防务部门批准从美国采购168辆M109A7自行榴弹炮。请问发言人有何评论？

Question: The head of Taiwan’s military agency has reportedly announced the establishment of Taiwan’s first HIMARS company, and that it will greatly improve the Taiwan military’s precision strike and overall defense capabilities. In addition, Taiwan’s military agency has approved the acquisition of 168 units of US M109A7 self-propelled howitzers. Do you have any comment?

蒋斌：民进党当局企图“倚美谋独”，不惜“媚美卖台”，用台湾民众的血汗钱向美国缴保护费，拿美制武器给自己壮胆打气，完全是打错了算盘、自欺欺人。“以武拒统”是绝路，“台独”武装妄图以卵击石、挑衅引战，最终只能是粉身碎骨、自取灭亡。

Jiang Bin: In order to solicit US support for “Taiwan independence”, the DPP authorities are selling Taiwan’s interests to flatter the US and squandering the hard-earned money of the Taiwan people to pay protection fees. Buying US weapons to embolden themselves is useless and self-deceiving. Resisting reunification by force is a dead end. War provocations made by the “Taiwan independence” armed forces are futile, and will only lead to self-destruction.
