Chapter 818: Veterans Don't Die
When the Emperor returned to Zhengyang Gate again, the Prime Minister, who was the host, announced again: "The separation has begun!"
With this order of the Prime Minister, the United Military Band, which had gathered on the north side of the Imperial City Square, across Tianzhong Avenue and Zhengyangmen, immediately changed the repertoire and began to play a new but very passionate march.
The United States Military Band is also an important part of today's military parade. Unlike the military band, which followed behind the Flag Guard, the United Military Band was many times larger.
The United Military Band that came to the Imperial City Square today is composed of a total of 2,000 soldiers, of which the number of the orchestra alone has reached 400, and its scale can no longer be defined by a simple "three-pipe, four-pipe" organization, and the scale of this orchestra is really too large.
As for the remaining 1,600 soldiers of the United Harmony Military Band, they belonged to the choir. Some military songs, old songs from the war, and even some folk songs that originated in the war period need to be sung by the choir.
It is as if when His Majesty the Emperor rode a horse to inspect the troops just now, it was the "Radetzky March" played by the United Military Band.
Now people all over the world know that the "Radesky March" composed by the grandmaster was specially composed for His Majesty the current Emperor Hua, and it just so happens that His Majesty today also has a noble title, that is, King Radesky, which is a title handed down from the Taizu period, and every Chinese emperor is King Radesky.
Therefore, the Grandmaster's "Radesky March" does not even need to be explained, and people all over the world know that this piece was specially composed for His Majesty the Emperor of Dahua, and it belongs exclusively to His Majesty the Emperor of Dahua.
And on such an important occasion as the military parade, when His Majesty the Emperor Hua rode a horse to inspect the troops, this march belonging to His Majesty the Emperor was undoubtedly the most suitable piece.
Moreover, when His Majesty the Emperor Hua was inspecting the troops just now, the United Military Band played the "Radetzky March", and millions of ordinary people in the Imperial City Square applauded to the beat, making the atmosphere of the whole review extremely hot.
Compared with the tunes played by the military band during the military parade of Chinese leaders in the previous life, this "Radetzky March" is undoubtedly more suitable for today's Dahua military parade.
And now that the split format began, the United Military Band immediately changed the tune.
This fast-paced but very passionate song is very unfamiliar to most people in this world, but if this song is placed in China in the previous life, it is estimated that the number of people who have not heard this song is very small.
Because Dahua had never held a military parade before, there was no song suitable for a parade in Dahua's existing march. So the grandmaster had to personally "compose" and "compose" a march that was very suitable for the column.
The name of this piece is "Column March".
In the previous life of China, the "Separate March" was adapted by Luo Lang, the commander of the military band of the founding ceremony, according to the military song of the People's Liberation Army, this piece has a stronger sense of rhythm than the military song, and is more suitable for the parade troops to march in a column, so after the founding ceremony, the military parade in the future, and local non-governmental organizations will use this song when holding the National Day parade.
This piece may not be as good as "Radetzky March" and "Hussar March", but this piece is definitely the most suitable for the marching of troops. Because the rhythm of this march is the same as the rhythm of the soldier's march as he advances, the soldier only needs to follow the rhythm of this march when he is marching, whether he is walking in unison or in a straight step.
And this song definitely sounds quite burning, which makes people involuntarily have a passionate urge when they listen to it, which is really suitable for military parades.
So, when this piece sounds, it means that the column begins.
The phalanx that came first from the east side of Tianzhong Avenue was not a phalanx of soldiers under review, but an open-top bus lined up in four columns. The four columns of open-top buses consisted of a total of 24 vehicles, and there were no standing soldiers in the open-top buses, and all the people in them were elderly veterans.
The youngest of these veterans is probably in their seventies, and the more are trembling veterans who are in their eighties or nineties.
These veterans are all Dahua soldiers from the last century, and they have experienced several large-scale wars and local wars in which Dahua participated in the last century, and they are meritorious in those wars. Veterans have a special meaning for the royal army in Dahua, and they don't need to prove themselves in this way to gain merit and glory.
They have enough glory on their backs, so the veteran phalanx does not belong to the parade phalanx, they come here to enjoy and review the ...... of the younger generations
The hair and beard of these veterans were all gray, and the wrinkles and age spots on their faces were all a sign that these old men were almost dusk. Back then, they made great achievements in the war, and they were good men like iron.
But even if he is a good man like iron, he can't resist the erosion of time after all. Under the invincible millstone of time, they are old, and although they carry countless glories on them, they are old......
But in the same way, although the lives of these veterans are close to dusk, although their demeanor has disappeared, they are still sticking to the goal of a soldier's life - responsibility, honor, and country!
Although their bodies no longer allow them to carry guns and pick up knives to fight the enemy, they still have the right to reminisce about the smoke of the battlefield in their dreams and experience the golden iron horse!
Just like the classic saying of the famous American marshal MacArthur in the previous life - veterans do not die, they will only slowly wither.
That's right, the bodies of these veterans have indeed slowly withered, they can only barely salute a military salute when they are old, they can only barely sit still, but their spirits will never die.
This is a veteran! A veteran who always deserves the respect and reverence of all!
Since it was a military parade, how could there be no shortage of these veterans? Although they are old, they are still soldiers in the Dahua Royal Army!
The military medals hanging on their chests are one after another, as heavy as the military exploits they obtained on the battlefield back then, and shining like their never-withering spirit!
When the veteran phalanx drove over, on the Zhengyang Gate, Hua Huang took the lead in standing up, and then under everyone's gaze, Hua Huang saluted these respectable veterans with a very standard action!
Then, whether it was the generals on the Zhengyang Gate, or the generals, school officers, lieutenants and soldiers on the viewing platforms under the Zhengyang Gate, they all saluted these veterans with a standard military salute.
These veterans deserve to be done by all the soldiers of Dahua!
Hua Huang's arm was not lowered for a long time, and he kept saluting until the veteran phalanx completely walked through the reading area. 8)
