China Warlords Study Nazis’ Blitzkrieg
by
Chinese ships are being strategically placed in the Western Hemisphere, potentially setting up a blitzkrieg.
Frank Capra’s WWII war documentary shows us how Nazi Germany sent inconspicuous peaceful-looking cargo ships to all principal ports along the coast of Norway. While the cargo ships looked normal, they were actually Trojan horses, filled with troops, armaments, and tanks to attack Norway and capture the ports. Having just overrun Denmark in a mere six hours, the Nazis began their invasion of Norway from both the land and the sea. Nazi “blitzkrieg,” or “lightning war,” emphasizing rapid surprise attacks to overwhelm the enemy, causing the enemy to be confused and disorganized, gave the Nazis numerous swift victories. Nazis were highly successful in World War II, rapidly conquering 11 nations.
China’s military leaders have studied these techniques.
Just like the Nazis sent covert cargo ships that were actually military vessels to the main coastal ports of Norway, China on January 19, 2026, launched its first known refitted cargo ship, the Zhongda 79, that has been converted to a weapons system, according to Taiwan’s Taipei Times. Having advanced radar, missile launchers, and numerous combat drones, the Taipei Times says, “the ‘military-civilian fusion’ strategy of disguising weapons systems within standard shipping containers is a ‘gray zone’ warfare tactic to complicate targeting decisions for Beijing’s opponents.” The only reason for such a ship being designed and deployed is that this is a covert, offensive, first strike, surprise attack vessel, like the Trojan horse.
China’s People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLA) also has a “hospital ship,” the Silk Road Ark, currently touring Latin America. The China Daily says that the ship is a “Peace Ark” giving “medical check-up[s] free of charge,” but that is not the view of many Latin Americans. During its January 2026 visit to Montevideo, Uruguay, a high-level delegation welcomed the PLA Navy ship, including Minister of Defense Sandro Lazo, National Defense Undersecretary Joel Rodriguez, Navy Chief José Elizondo, and Chinese Ambassador Huan Yazhong. Note: “none of them belong to the health care sector.”
When the ship arrived in Brazil, Brazilian Dr. Francisco Cardoso, who leads the agency of the Federal Council of Medicine in Sao Paulo, stated that this ship was “at least 10 times larger than any similar ship on the market.” The ship is sailing to various Latin America ports “providing medical care without local authorization.” Cardoso stated, “This is unprecedented, unparalleled in our history, this type of ship docking here.”
Dr. Raphael Camara, a consultant to the Medical Council of Rio de Janeiro stated, “Was there any substance abuse? … What were all those people doing there? Was biological material collected? Blood? Whatever it was, we don’t know,” because the Chinese consul, arriving with military personnel, would not allow Camara to enter the ship. Cardoso said that this is not normal for this type of inspection to be denied, stating, “they usually allow it, even to show that everything is in order.” So, is this ship providing unauthorized medical care? With the history of the China-virus, COVID-19, coming from the Wuhan, China virology lab, perhaps the ship is also unloading who knows what. Measles? More China-viruses?
Apparently, the PLA ship’s visit to the country was as a result of a request from the “Chinese Navy to the Brazilian Navy.” Camara said that the ship’s operation was a “war operation” authorized by the Brazilian Ministry of Defense. Evan Ellis, Latin America research professor at the U.S. Army War College, said the ship is part of the Chinese naval forces and “it is a military ship, even though it is a hospital ship.”
Photos and reports indicate that the ship has military features. Cardoso stated, “There was military equipment on board, and not just a little, according to reports from dockworkers. There was also a lot of communications equipment.”
The ship took part in a joint maritime exercise with the Brazilian and Chinese Navies, demonstrating combat and rescue operations.
