it is impossible to have sentinels along all borders.

by the way, let me share some common knowledge about military defense, military geography and border control.

how many troops are needed to have sentinels?

my country's land border is about 22,800 kilometers long, the mainland coastline is 18,400 kilometers long, and there are more than 14,000 kilometers of island coasts, with a total coastline of more than 32,000 kilometers, a total of 32 million meters.

1、stand shoulder to shoulder according to the sentinels

assuming that the soldier's shoulder width is 50 cm, the number of troops needed is 64,000,000, that's 64 million people!

it is impossible for so many people not to sleep. to replace the troops in three shifts, 192 million people are needed, and more than half of our young and middle-aged people are involved.

so many people still need to eat and sleep. according to the general logistics support force ratio, three times more support personnel are needed, which means 600 million people.

brother, this plan is not physically feasible...

2、calculated according to the width controlled by modern infantry

the front is 400 meters wide. in fact, it is difficult to achieve this front width. let's calculate it this way. it requires 80,000 troops. 80,000 troops can achieve this, right?

in fact, this is what we are doing now - leveraging weapon range and terrain to achieve effective control of the border.

don't underestimate these 80,000 people. behind them are far more than 240,000 people, but millions of people. they need logistics support, intelligence support, communications support and other support systems, second-line support forces and third-line mobile forces, forming a very important border and coastal defense system in my country, which can ensure that the probability of smuggling and drug trafficking on the border is reduced to a safe range.

in other words, it is not that these activities do not exist, but that the risks are very high, offsetting most of the profits, thus controlling these activities from becoming rampant.

how to implement border closures

how do we implement border blockade specifically to achieve actual control over the entire border?

1、mount handle

as we all know, borders are located in places that are difficult to reach, such as mountains, jungles, rivers, etc. natural borders are often formed first, and then legal borders are formed later. this later happened only a few decades ago for some countries, such as my country.

that is, most borders are actually impassable.

this is the most famous section of our country's border - mount everest.

currently, the cost for a single person to follow a commercial climbing company and climb up the south slope and down the north slope is approximately rmb 1 million to 1.2 million.

there are people who do business that will get them killed, but no one does business that will lose money.why don't you try to sell me some drugs by climbing over mount everest?

what's more, mount everest is not the most difficult peak to climb. there are many peaks on my country's border that are more difficult to climb than mount everest, such as k2. go climb it.

these places actually do not need to be controlled.

for example, this place:

the primeval forest deep in the himalayas is full of towering trees, cliffs, waterfalls, poisonous insects and bears. without man-made roads, it is impossible to cross it.

these are the two key points of border control: checkpoints and control points.

the main purpose of a checkpoint is to block a mountain pass. the place where two mountain ridges meet is a mountain pass. it is the only place where soft animals like humans can cross the mountains. there is a famous mountain pass in the donglang area called nathu la pass, and there is also a less famous dokala pass next to it.by holding these two mountain passes, we can hold this ridge.

control points means controlling the intersections of roads. leaving the places where roads cannot be passed, we control the intersections of roads and bridges, which greatly increases the cost of crossing and effectively reduces the possibility of smuggling and drug trafficking.

there is only this narrow path in this place. if there is a checkpoint on this path, it would be unrealistic for you to go around it through the jungle next to it.

by controlling the checkpoints, the number of troops needed on the entire border is greatly reduced. if patrols are added, the border can be effectively controlled and the border defense costs can be kept within a reasonable range.

just think about it, if the cost is not controlled, a country will have to spend half of its population and 80% of its gdp just to control its borders. would you do it?

2、people's war

borders are often remote and poor areas, and effective control is beyond the capability of just a few soldiers.

at this time, the power of the people's war was reflected.the risks of engaging in drug trafficking and smuggling outweigh the benefits of living a peaceful and happy life.the people along the border will take the initiative to maintain peace on the border, provide additional security, and further increase the risk of engaging in illegal activities.

this is a small village on the border of our country. the houses are built by the government for free. there is water, electricity, internet, cement roads, sewers, free schooling for children, and government-funded poverty alleviation projects. some people do not understand this behavior and think that it is using everyone's money to subsidize some people. so let's go to the other side of the border.

this is an indian village on the other side. there is no electricity, no running water, and the mobile phone signal is from china mobile. there are dirty children all over the ground with nothing to do. anywhere is actually a toilet. if a drug dealer comes to the village at this time and throws a handful of candy to the children, the children will take him around the border checkpoint.

why don't you come to a chinese village and throw a handful of candy? do you believe that the hero wang erxiao and the little soldier zhang gazi will immediately lead you into the ditch?

if this money is not spent, the country will only have two choices: either turn a blind eye to smuggling at the border, or significantly increase military spending and increase the number of soldiers to completely block the border.

3、high-tech means

it's nothing more than drones, satellites, and unattended sensors.

therefore, our border is not crowded with soldiers, and there are even fewer people than on the other side. china is a country that is used to spending the least money to do the most, so please rest assured. i was at the border post eating kelp that was manufactured in 1964, earning a salary that made men silent and women cry, and i am sure of this.
