Chapter 808: Dissatisfaction from the Air Force
Five days went by in a flash.
At nine o'clock in the morning on this day, in a large conference room that can accommodate more than 100 people in the General Staff Headquarters of the Dahua Royal Army in Tiandu, the main generals from the five major military regions of Dahua, the Strategic Support Force, the Navy, Army and Air Force Command, the Overseas Strategic Command, the Armed Police Force, the Tiandu Garrison, and the Dahua Royal First Group Army, as well as the main generals of the General Staff and the Ministry of National Defense, gathered together to participate in the 2020 military parade and selection meeting.
The commanders, deputy commanders, chiefs of staff, deputy chiefs of staff, and logistics ministers of the above departments all came, and the grandmaster's stepfather, Fang Tianhai, the prince of Yanguo, also attended the meeting as the commander-in-chief of the First Group Army of the Dahua Royalty.
Now everyone in the military already knows that on October 18, 2020, the National Day ceremony of the 410th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Empire, an unprecedented grand military parade will be held. At that time, 20,000 elite soldiers selected from various branches and military districts of the Dahua Royal Army, representing the 6.3 million soldiers of the Royal Army in Dahua, will be inspected by His Majesty the Emperor Hua, guests from various countries and ordinary people at home and abroad on the Tianzhong Avenue in Tiandu.
From the military commanders of various units of the Dahua Royal Army to the ordinary soldiers, they are very, very interested in this news, and they are very, very eager to be part of the review at the National Day parade.
What is the Army? The Army is the cornerstone of a country.
Externally, the armed forces are a weapon to resist aggression or even to carry out aggression, while internally, the armed forces can maintain the stability of the domestic regime.
It can be said that the army is a machine of violence through and through. Only war can highlight the importance of the army and the stage for the soldiers of the army to show themselves.
But it's a pity that since the end of World War II, Dahua has not shown its invincible army to the outside world for a long time because of its own strength.
However, this does not mean that Dahua's army is silent. On the contrary, Dahua's army always maintained a high level of vigilance, and Dahua's soldiers did not forget their duty - to defend their homeland and country because of the long period of peace!
However, in times of peace, how can we publicize to the people of the whole country and the whole world that the soldiers of the Dahua Royal Army have always maintained a sense of vigilance? How can the whole world know that the Dahua army is still the most powerful army in the world?
This unprecedented large-scale military parade is undoubtedly an excellent means of display.
Moreover, in peacetime, this kind of large-scale military parade to promote Dahua's military deterrent power to its own country and foreign countries can greatly enhance the cohesion of the country, and at the same time, it can also show Dahua's supreme national prestige and great military prestige to foreign countries through the powerful lineup and equipment of the troops under review.
What army does not want to show its face on such an occasion? And what soldier does not want to be personally inspected by His Majesty the Supreme Emperor Hua in person?
The people who can come to this conference room, except for the grandmaster, the others are also the lieutenant generals who carry two generals on their shoulders. As for the generals of the three general stars, there are as many as dozens of people here. Among these people, the lowest title is also a marquis, and the duke and even the founding duke are also grabbed.
However, these lieutenant generals, generals, marquises, and dukes, who are usually high-ranking on weekdays, are all excited like children today, and they are all talking about each other before the meeting begins.
Although they already knew the distribution of the troops paraded at this military parade, they still couldn't help the excitement in their hearts. After all, this is an unprecedented grand military parade in Dahua and even the whole world after entering the modern society!
There are only a few people who seem a little sullen, and these few people are the air force of the Dahua Royal Army.
The Grandmaster's plan for the distribution of the troops to be reviewed has already been announced, and the five major military regions, overseas strategic commands, navy, army, and Tiandu garrison have allocated 10 places, but only the air force unit has two fewer places than them, which makes the military commanders of the air force feel very unhappy.
In the eyes of the military commander of the Air Force, although the armed police force and the first group army have only been allocated five places, the armed police force is a third-line unit that specializes in maintaining domestic order, and its importance cannot be compared with that of the regular field army, and although the first group army is the two trump card units of the Dahua Royal Army, the first group army is much smaller than the five major military regions and even the Tiandu garrison, so the five phalanxes are enough for them. But the Air Force has only eight phalanxes, which is clearly unfair.
The reason why Dahua is now known as the most powerful country in the world is that the air force definitely plays an extremely important role in it.
The Royal Air Force now has the largest number of combat aircraft in the world, and it also has the world's most advanced fifth-generation fighters, and is known as the most powerful air force in the world.
But why is such a powerful air force unit two places less than other units?
This is something that the military commanders of the Air Force cannot figure out.
The Air Force may not be as numerous as the Army and Navy, but there are more than 700,000 soldiers directly under the Air Force, which far exceeds the number of troops controlled by the Tiandu Garrison, the First Army, and the Overseas Strategic Command.
I have so many people, so why do I have to have two less phalanxes than others?
The current commander-in-chief of the Royal Air Force is Zhou Zhengsheng, the Duke of Wu, who is now quietly expressing his dissatisfaction with the Grandmaster's stepfather, Fang Tianhai, the Duke of Yan.
Of course, Wu Guogong, commander-in-chief of the Air Force, expressed his dissatisfaction, while the military commanders of other units were discussing which heroic team to use and which branch of the army should be used.
When His Majesty Emperor Hua and the Grandmaster walked into this large conference room one after the other, the originally chaotic large conference room suddenly became audible.
All the generals stood up, saluted His Majesty Emperor Hua in unison, and then shouted confidently: "See Your Majesty!"
Hua Huang waved his hand with a smile and said, "It's all exempt! I came here today to hear something about the military parade." Don't worry about me, cooperate with the king of Jeju well, and make this parade more perfect, and I will be happy. ”
All the generals said in unison: "Obey Your Majesty's holy words!"
"Alright, don't be so formal! I'm just here to sit in today. Sit down, everybody. ”
Then everyone sat down.
The Grandmaster sat on the main seat, glanced around at these high-ranking generals, and then said: "Compared to you, you already know about the situation of the military parade, and I am afraid that you have already had relevant ideas in your heart, so I will not say more here." The purpose of convening you here today is to discuss with you how to arrange the phalanx of the troops being paraded at the parade, so that you can speak freely and say whatever you want. ”
As soon as the Grandmaster finished speaking, he saw the Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force raise his hand.
The Grandmaster nodded and said, "I don't know what Duke Zhou has to say?"
Wu Guogong Zhou Zhengsheng stood up and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Jeju, I have some unclear things here that I want to ask His Royal Highness the King of Jeju. Why did other military regions and branches of the military arrange 10 phalanxes for review, but when they arrived in our air force, they were reduced to eight? Our air force units also have quite a lot of numbers and even more advanced equipment, and we felt that the 10 phalanxes were not enough, but now that we have reduced them by two, we feel that they will not be able to reflect the military prestige of our Royal Air Force units......
