We have air dropped a regiment of the 2nd Airborne Division on Shalu to help secure Taichung’s harbor for follow-on forces. We have also air dropped the remainder of the 2nd Airborne Division on Highway 1, nine kilometer southeast of CKS Airport. Lastly, we have airlanded a battalion of commandos at CKS and secured the airport. Other airborne and airlanding operations are in progress.

“Beginning one hour after we captured the airport we have been landing aircraft every five minutes at CKS. By now we ought to have an entire regiment of the 87th Infantry Division in place with one regiment arriving every hour. Using commercial shipping and civilian ferries, reinforcements will arrive by sea in less than eight hours at every port facility we have seized. We have pressed into service every ocean-capable ferry in China from Guangzhou to Shanghai as well as most of our nearby merchant fleet. Our conventional amphibious forces will concentrate on landing troops and armor at Keelung and on the beaches near CKS.

“At the moment, the ROC forces in the field in Taiwan equal the equivalent of nine infantry divisions and two tank divisions with two-thirds of an artillery division. Our forces on the ground equal approximately three infantry divisions without heavy equipment.” General Wei looked satisfied at his briefing.

Fu Zemin had a drawn look on his face, “You mean we are outnumbered by almost three to one?”

The general smiled reassuringly, “Comrade Fu, remember the damage we inflicted on the renegade province before our attack. Their military has been hard hit by our virus. They can only fight at about 50 percent manning—about six divisions. You see, they only outnumber us two to one.” The general smiled thinly.

“Oh, I feel better already,” Fu let his sarcasm get the best of him. The general’s eyebrows arched.

“Sir, I don’t want to sound overconfident, but the enemy divisions are without communications. Without the ability to communicate, they cannot react to our moves. Further, when a military unit has half of its people sick in bed it is at less than half effectiveness. In fact most major militaries of the world consider a unit with only 50 percent of its personnel to be completely combat ineffective.”

Still looking worried, Fu changed the subject, “General Wei, you said we destroyed 40-60% of the ROC Air Force. I expected a better result. Why did we not destroy more?”

“Sir, since our airborne surveillance aircraft and reconnaissance ships would impacted by the E-bomb we did not have them out collecting at the moment of detonation. As best as we could determine prior to the electronic attack, the ROCAF had only sortied about half of its fighters in response to our attack. This was a smaller response than we anticipated.” The general showed an air of resignation.

Fu became angry. He wanted to rule Asia someday, but he didn’t want to get shot out of the sky in the process of doing so, “Did you military geniuses ever stop to think that a few pilots might
