Chapter 838: Parade (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

The parade was very successful, and the delegates of various countries could be regarded as seeing the heroic posture of the German army. They all sighed that it was no coincidence that Germany was able to win this world war. If nothing else, their army alone is absolutely incomparable with Germany.

The banquet that night was even more enjoyable for the guests and hosts. Especially those small countries have already started the thigh-hugging mode. After seeing Germany's powerful military power, they all knew very well that Germany's position as the world hegemon could be regarded as a firm one. At least, for some time, no country will be able to confront Germany. If they want to continue on the international stage, they have to hug the Germans' thighs tightly.

Of course, the hearts of countries that have enmity with Germany, or potential adversaries, have become even heavier.

On December 19, Qin Tian and the entire delegation took a special train to Wilhelmshaven to prepare for tomorrow's parade. Although, the military parade has already made the countries feel the strength of Germany. However, the parade can undoubtedly bring people a more intuitive shocking feeling. After all, those warships that cost tens of thousands of tons at every turn, if they are on the sea, are like floating hills.

On the day of the 20th, the Wilhelmshaven naval base was already overcrowded. In order to allow the German people to see with their own eyes the strength of the German military, the naval base was specially opened today. German people from all over the country squeezed almost the entire naval base.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the parade officially began. Admiral Reinhardscher, commander of the High Seas Fleet, who was in charge of the parade, reported to Qin Tian that everything was ready.

"So, let's get started!" Qin Tian said.

According to the process of the parade, the next step was for Qin Tian to take a warship and inspect the warships of the German Navy.

Qin Tian took the battleship Bavaria, the flagship of the German Navy, and began to review the battleships of the German Navy participating in the parade.

Four Bavaria-class battleships, five King-class battleships, five Caesar-class battleships, four Helgoland-class battleships, and four Nassau-class battleships in addition to the battleship Bavaria. Behind were three Mackensen-class battlecruisers, three D-Verblinger-class battlecruisers, three Moltke-class battlecruisers and two Blucher-class battlecruisers. Behind, there were armored cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers.

On the whole, there are more than 100 large and small ships participating in the parade this time. Such a large-scale ship parade has only been done by the British Empire before. Even if other countries want to engage in such a parade, they are powerless!

Qin Tian inspected these warships of his own, as if a lion was patrolling his territory. Although, a significant part of these warships, it has already been decided to decommission them. However, they undoubtedly contributed to the victory of the German Empire in this war. It can be said that the defeat of the British Royal Navy by the German Navy was undoubtedly a prerequisite for Germany to win this war. If the German Navy could not win, then what awaited Germany was to be dragged to death. Even because of Qin Tian, Germany became stronger. But it's just a little longer. Therefore, Qin Tian attaches great importance to the navy. Not to mention that after the victory in the war, Germany's interests in the world still need to be safeguarded by the navy.

It took nearly an hour just to inspect the hundreds of warships. The sailors, dressed in crisp white uniforms, stood in a line on the side of the ship, looking at their emperor with reverence.

Qin Tian's prestige in the Imperial Navy is very high, and it can be said that almost all of the cutting-edge warships of the German Navy were arranged by Qin Tian. This naturally made the naval officers almost regard Qin Tian as a god.

After Qin Tian finished the review, it was a column. The battleship participating in the parade passed at a low speed through the rostrum set up on the pier. On the rostrum, the delegates of various countries were already looking forward to it.

Everyone knows how powerful the Royal Navy of the British Empire is, but no matter how powerful the Royal Navy is, it is still beaten down by the German Navy. This undoubtedly means that the German Navy is even stronger.

The German Navy did not disappoint these people either, and one after another battleships like hills sailed in front of the rostrum. That kind of pressure makes many people tremble.

"The German Navy is too strong! It's just too strong. It was completely inevitable that the Imperial Navy would lose to them. "The strength of the German navy, Crown Prince Hirohito, caused a great shock.

The mighty German Navy only sent a fleet of battle cruisers to the east, and the island navy was completely annihilated. If the German Navy sends more warships to the east, the island navy will not even have the slightest chance.

However, although Crown Prince Hirohito was shocked, he was not a person who easily surrendered to defeat. Although Germany was strong, he believed that the island nation would eventually win.

"We are already building new battleships, and in the future we will definitely defeat the Germans!" Crown Prince Hirohito told himself.

U.S. Secretary of State Brian's face was also very serious.

"The strength of the German Navy has risen to its peak. If the U.S. Navy wants to compete with Germany in the Atlantic and the world, it must have a more powerful navy. Otherwise, we would not have been able to defeat the Germans! "Brian was feeling a lot of pressure.

Although, he is very familiar with the shipbuilding program of the US Navy. But he did not think that the U.S. Navy would be able to defeat the Germans after building those battleships.

"Looks like we'll have to think of something else." Brian thought to himself. When his eyes saw Crown Prince Karl and Crown Prince Hirohito, he couldn't help but smile a little more on his face.

Crown Prince Karl was also struck by the strength of the German navy. Although, how many capital ships the German Navy had, he knew very well. But that's all on paper. Now that he really saw these capital ships of the German Navy, he had an intuitive feeling.

"Compared to the powerful German navy, the Austro-Hungarian navy was too weak. Even if it did not compete with the German navy, in order to safeguard the interests of the Reich in the Mediterranean, the strength of the Reich navy had to be further strengthened. Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious! Crown Prince Karl thought secretly.

If the Austro-Hungarian Army still has the strength to fight, of course, this mainly refers to the number of troops. As for the navy, Austria-Hungary has no comparison at all.
