the allies had 6,939 ships
And the Nazis didn't have guided fucking artillery shells.
A shore assault today is suicide, that's why we didn't actually try it in Desert Storm. It was only ever really feasible for Normandy because the allies spent two years building landing ships.
Listen to people who know TI...
Any attempt to force a landing against Taiwan, would be the naval equivalent of Pickett's Charge. They'll come out of their ports, and immediately be under long range sea skimming missile fire; Hsiung Feng III's and Harpoons. Halfway across the straits, they'll be into artillery range; steerable 203mm and 155 mm shells blowing clean through landing ships from hundreds of guns, as well as MLRS. By the time they get into sight of the shore, they'll be taking short ranged missile fire; javelins on every shoreside building, hellfires on helicopters.
If any of them mange to make it to the shore, they'll immediately be moving from a marine theater to an urban theater, the worst possible environment for an aggressor and the best possible environment for a determined defender. They'll have no remote, defensible beachhead because there is no remote shoreline.
Any attempt to conquer Taiwan will see the straits run red for a week with blood and burning wreckage.
