When the first platoon marched under the tall Brandenburg Gate, it represented a war, and even the official end of an era, for the German people.

In 1939, Hitler staged an equally spectacular military parade in Berlin, essentially an armed demonstration, not only against the West, but also against his own people.

The Nazi Party flaunted to the world the "achievements of statecraft" over the past ten years, the steel tracks that ran over the asphalt road, the heavy artillery towed by the Krupp tractor, the steel nails on the soles of the marching boots clicked, like the infantry phalanx cast like a mountain of steel, and the hundreds of thousands of Germans who raised their right arms and cheered feverishly.

At that time, Hitler's parade platform was facing Charlottenburg Palace, which was also the starting point of the victory parade.

When Brauchitsch made his suggestion, Xu Jun had already seen through the marshal's careful thinking, and he also wanted to use this military parade to show his authority to the world, and at the same time draw a beautiful end to the Hitler era.

The New Year's parade is almost a copy of the 39 military parade, but the destination and departure place are completely reversed, the route has been slightly changed, the Führer deleted the section of the route from Berlin Street to Charlottenburg Street, and he ordered the troops to turn directly from Gongqian Street to Charlottenburg Street, although the distance is a bit detoured, but this can get out of a beautiful right angle (Xu Jun: I suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder?). There is absolutely no such thing, this is the most shameless slander. ）。

The spectacle of this military parade is even grander than that of the 39th military parade, and judging from the identity and status of the invited guests and the number of participating countries, in the geopolitical atmosphere of the forties, it was enough to have a huge impact on the whole world.

Of course, this requires the joint efforts of the media of various countries, and at the same time, it also needs time to ferment and brew.

The most similar thing between this military parade and the 39th year is that the reference troops have gone through a long queue training before, and the victory parade in the history of 40 years was prepared too hastily, and the troops were stunned to walk out of the serpentine shape on the street, but the victor was not blamed, and the whole country was celebrating the victory on the Western Front at that time, so no one would care about this kind of small problem, anyway, the German army won the battle, right?

Charlottenburgstrasse reaches the Brandenburg Gate, which is renamed Under the Linden Tree, a six-lane main road with a lane-wide strip in between, and at least half of the entire street crosses the Tyre Park, with towering trees and shrubs more than ten meters high on the roadside.

On the march on Charlottenburg Strasse, the infantry phalanx used only three lanes on the right, the left lane reserved for the press and documentary crews, and a group of vehicles with various camera equipment shuttled up and down the street like fish in a stream, and reporters and photographers greedily captured everything they thought necessary to preserve, saving the day to remember on reels of film and wire tape.

Deutsche Television broadcast the parade live, and they set up more than 10 fixed shooting points along the road, and Goebbels called up all the television cameras, which were expensive at the time, and set up as many as nine in the main venue alone, trying to show the grand occasion of the parade to the whole country and even the world from various angles.

The infantry ranks were almost endless, a phalanx was an infantry battalion, and with the exception of the Big German Regiment, which had been a model for many years, the rest were all field troops, and what they all had in common was that they had made great achievements and fought the entire war from beginning to end.

These soldiers had fought in the French battlefields, many of them had participated in the sieges of Dunkirk and Paris, they had also walked waist-deep waters on the British coast, fought against the elite of the British army in the low bushes, they witnessed a series of miraculous victories of the new Führer, and watched the motherland rise again on the top of the European continent.

These soldiers are the most die-hard supporters of the Imperial Führer, and the warriors are very simple-minded, hoping that someone will lead them to victory, win every war they have participated in, and if they can bring most of them back alive, then they can be revered as military gods.

"God of War." Hiroshi Oshima also looked feverishly at the steel phalanx walking under the stands, which was what he envied the most about Germany, a country with the best commander in the world and leading the best strong soldiers in the world.

Today is the first time in nearly a dozen weeks that Hiroshi Oshima has had the opportunity to get in close contact with the German Führer, and the cold attitude of the Germans has made the pro-German self-proclaimed Japanese ambassador a little sad, but he does not want to blame the Germans for their ruthlessness, because in each of the recent series of conflicts, it is the Japanese side that has taken the blame.

The idiots of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Cabinet only know how to constantly put pressure on him, but on the other hand, the army and navy are still doing things in different ways, and during this time Hiroshi Oshima has been exhausted physically and mentally, and sometimes he really wants to throw off his burden and quit, but he is worried that doing so will disappoint His Majesty the Emperor's mighty imperial grace.

After returning to China, if you die in the countryside in a drunken dream, it will be fine, if you are inexplicably killed by a red deer with a big brain, wouldn't it be a waste of this big head.

His Excellency the Ambassador was determined to continue to endure humiliation for the cause of the Imperial Empire, and sometimes Hiroshi Oshima was moved by his own spirit, and he was forced to nibble on the bloody pork leg steak of the Nanbanarians, drink Nanban liquor of all colors, all kinds of intensity, and all kinds of flavors, but also at the same price, and hold those Nanban women with strong hair and strong body smell, and haunt all over the city of Berlin, and deal with this group of foreign diplomats, what kind of sacrifice is this.

Well, Hiroshi Oshima was actually very good at this time, because the German Führer was determined to let Japan go, and as a result, Tokyo regarded the special envoy's good offices as a credit for his mediation, for which his official rank was also raised by one level, and by the way, he received a fourth-class Rising Sun Medal as a reward for his dedication to the Imperial Kingdom in a foreign land.

Hiroshi Oshima has a good relationship with the Germans, which has been recognized by the Japanese government and the public, and if the relations between Japan and Germany can be further developed, this ambassador will be reused, and it is not impossible that he will one day sit on the throne of prime minister.

After several crises in a row, each time the situation was reversed at the last moment, at least this is how Tokyo sees it, and Hiroshi Oshima will not go out of his way to expose the misunderstanding of his superiors, after all, it is more beneficial to him personally.

But after each hangover, Hiroshi Oshima felt a little worried, and he could feel the change in Germany's attitude towards Japan, although not very immediate, but it should be obvious to anyone with a discerning eye.

Every time he thinks of the bad things during this time, he will scold the group of red deer in the Tokyo Army and Navy, anyway, he has retired from the reserve and is now a serious diplomat.

Especially when Hiroshi Oshima was drunk, he would often lock himself in the study of the mansion and spend an hour or two there cursing the bastards who were causing him trouble.

At this time, he was impartial, from the army Tojo to the navy Yoshida, but the vulgarity and rudeness of the language during this period was somewhat surprising, it is said that even in the Japanese countryside is the kind that is unbearable, God knows where Oshima, who received a Western-style education since childhood, learned it, and many of the curses could not even be translated by the German intelligence officers in charge of the eavesdropping, because there was really no corresponding German vocabulary.

"After the parade, His Excellency the German Führer will attend a reception, and we must make good use of this rare opportunity to meet." Hiroshi Oshima said to the new army attache Komatsu Mitsuhiko Osa, who was sitting next to him.

"Huh! Your Excellency, I will do my best. ”

"I don't want you to go all out, Komatsu Daisa, just behave as usual." Hiroshi Oshima patted the other party's knee.

This Dazuo is only 45 years old, and he had served as a second lieutenant at the grassroots level for three years earlier, and after graduating from the Army University, he had only served as a squadron adjutant for two years, and he basically had no experience in leading troops. In his military career, he spent most of his military career in the executive department, serving as a secretary to the Minister of the Army, an instructor at the Army University, and a chief of the conscription section.

He was sent to Germany, not only because he was a hardcore supporter of the Japanese-German alliance, but also because he had spent two years in Germany to study military affairs, he could speak German fluently, and he also had a certain understanding of German customs and habits.

The army finally got a little enlightened, and knew that sending a German through it, instead of a red deer with a head full of the imperial army's number one in the world, finally relieved Hiroshi Oshima of a lot of burden.

But before Hiroshi Oshima could express his feelings...

"Oh, your Excellency, look, that's the chariot unit of the Independence Country!" The one who made him feel calm and reliable suddenly became excited.

PS: Thank you for your support, I'm sorry that today's second watch will be delayed until tomorrow, the author's eyes are starting to feel uncomfortable again, I hope you will forgive me.
