Chapter 499: Ten Years of Dajubi
As soon as the hour arrived, Chang'an City immediately sounded a long military horn, and the gate of the city in the east symbolically opened slowly.
A group of knights in black armor rumbled in with the sound of heavy horses' hooves, and the tall horses under their crotches were also draped in heavy armor, revealing only two eyes and four hooves.
These tall horses were very majestic, two heads taller than ordinary horses, and the knights on the horses were equally large, all of them holding the reins in their left hand and a huge lance in their right hand.
These are the heavy armored cavalry who have made great contributions to the Han army and Lu Bu, and the huge wolf-headed military flag also shows their identity, breaking the army and riding the wolf, but in the current Han army, which popularizes firearms, they are only retained as a regiment as a royal honor guard.
Fifteen hundred heavy cavalry cavalry lined up in a row of ten horsemen, and drove by first, which was very shocking, and the onlookers kept exclaiming.
When these heavy armored cavalry passed by the main gate square of Weiyang Palace, they held their horses high in unison, turned their heads to the right, and looked at Lu Bu on the city gate. ”
The huge sound immediately infected the people of Chang'an City, and the people of the whole city also followed the three shouts, long live, like a huge wave that swept the whole city!
Immediately following the heavy cavalry into the city, there was still a group of cavalry, lined up in three phalanxes in the front, middle and rear, each phalanx was about 2,000 people, each wearing a crimson military uniform, the same color as the traditional Han military uniform, covered with black tight leather armor, and wearing a beautiful steel helmet.
In front of the procession, there were two huge military flags, which read "Royal Forest Army" and "Central Garrison First Division" respectively, this is Lu Bu's guard unit, and it was the first brigade of the first garrison division that participated in the review, and the other two brigades also had to arrange the ceremony and the guard work of the palace.
Ma Tie, the commander of the 1st Garrison Division, and Zhao Tong, the commander of the 1st Brigade, rode at the forefront of the parade phalanx, closely following their own military flags.
All the fighters carried their latest bolt-action rifles diagonally behind their backs, and on their left side hung sabers hidden deep in their sheaths.
When the team of the 1st Garrison Division entered the Weiyang Palace Square, Ma Tie was the first to hold the reins in his left hand, pull out his saber with his right hand, and hold it high to the sky.
All the warriors immediately made the same movements as their division commanders, and six thousand sabers with cold light were raised diagonally into the sky, forming a forest of steel.
The same slogan, only this time it was 6,000 people shouting in unison, louder and more shocking than the team in front.
The kings and envoys of various countries who participated in the National Day ceremony were shocked, and they thought that their national army would not be able to get out of such a strict military formation.
The next one was also a cavalry phalanx in crimson uniforms, also composed of 6,000 people, and this time the military flag was the Imperial Forest Army and the Second Central Garrison Division, which were equally majestic and majestic.
Next is the phalanx of special operations divisions wearing black uniforms, helmets, and black hoods, and they have three military flags, in addition to the Royal Forest Army and the Central Special Operations Division, there is also a traditional Dangkou cavalry flag.
Then, there are phalanxes arranged according to the serial numbers of the Wehrmacht, with the Haotian Army in front, then the Marine Corps, and then the First Infantry Division of the Wehrmacht, and so on.
All divisions of the National Defense Forces sent representatives to participate in the parade, and even overseas troops stationed on the front lines in Egypt and West Asia sent battalion or regimental units back to participate in the parade.
The 100,000-strong troops were paraded, and the momentum was magnificent, which made the people in Chang'an and the surrounding areas who participated in the parade ecstatic.
The envoys and monarchs of various countries, whether they had fought with the Han Dynasty or those who had never fought with each other, had to admit the strength of the Han army, and from then on, they were all obedient, at least sincerely surrendered for a hundred years.
After the celebration, the top priority of the Han Empire returned to the excavation of the Suez Canal, and Ma Jun even developed some semi-manual and semi-mechanical construction machines, which could help speed up the progress of the project.
In addition, the Han army also paid high salaries to recruit migrant workers from Central Asia, the Western Regions, and the governor's palaces to increase the number of people involved in the construction of the canal.
At its peak, the land of Egypt was full of construction sites, slaves and migrant laborers, as many as a million, and the saying that there was great strength in many people remained unchanged for eternity.
The progress of the project, which was originally expected to take more than 10 years of excavation, has been cut in half with the participation of so many laborers.
When designing the route of the canal, the expert teams of the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Transport have fully taken into account the use of the three original natural lakes of the Suez Isthmus, which has reduced the huge workload.
Lu Bu personally came to the General Staff of the Central Army of the National Defense Forces to participate in the latest war force exercise conducted here.
Lu Bu taught this advanced method of war rehearsal to the cadets of the Central Military Academy, so the General Staff of the Central Army began to conduct this method of non-combat exercises long ago.
In the deduction hall of the General Staff, there is a huge sand table, which is simulated from Chang'an to the Mediterranean coast.
The Intelligence Department constantly sends back detailed information on the terrain, customs, and troop deployment, which will be updated to the sand table as soon as possible.
There is a small castle representing the castle, a wooden horse representing infantry and cavalry, and a small flag with the number and number of people on it.
Lu Bu has already spoken, for this final decisive battle of the Roman Empire, he will be the last time to drive in person, so we must pursue victory, and the first battle will determine the world pattern for the next hundred years.
For the final war games with Rome, the General Staff of the Central Army and the General Staff of the Central Navy have conducted two joint exercises.
The premise is that the Suez Canal is successfully opened, and the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Han Empire can enter the Mediterranean region in a big way to support the army operations.
The results of the first two war games were not bad, and the navy of the Han Empire completely suppressed the navy of the Roman Empire and mastered the sea dominance in the Mediterranean.
Under the auspices of the Han Empire's navy, the army crossed the sea from the Strait of Constantinople and swept across the Balkan Peninsula before attacking the Roman Empire's mainland Italy by land.
Eventually, they successfully reached Rome, the capital of the Roman Empire, and under the threat of a powerful army, the Roman Empire was forced to sign an alliance under the city, and the Han Empire officially declared a place in the Mediterranean.
This is the last wargame exercise, the last exercise before the official start of the war, and according to Lu Bu's requirements, all possible unfavorable factors need to be taken into account.
