Chapter Seventy-Two: A New Beginning

Thank you for the warm reward of Archon Twilight, Hi Hitler 555, Brushing away the old thoughts of the world, Tuah, Night, Bleak YCA, and Special Tank!

The collection is growing slowly, brothers, let's get some recommendation votes to comfort the sad heart of the author?

……

The superintendent's German army has always been a relatively special position in the unit structure, which can decide what kind of combat weapons the troops are equipped with, and can also give instructions on the structure of the troops, and most importantly, he is in charge of the logistics and supply of the army.

For example, Li Qi's new position is the director of the Air Force, but in fact he is not the only director of the entire Air Force department, let alone the most powerful director, and the most powerful director has the prefix "first".

The transfer of his position did not make Richie feel very sad, and although he felt some regret for leaving the combat unit, he only regretted it. He has done what he can, and the next battle is no longer something that one or two people can exert influence and change.

In fact, Li Qi was in a mood of anticipation for being transferred to Berlin to take up the post of Air Force Chief.

On November 18, the German army held a grand military parade into Paris, in the presence of Kaiser Wilhelm II and various prominent figures of the empire.

On that day, the total number of troops participating in the city reached 120,000, all of whom were selected from various units on the Western Front, and all of them were soldiers who had won combat exploits on the battlefield of the Western Front!

As the rumbling footsteps resounded on the Champs-Élysées in Paris, Parisians stood on both sides of the street in silence as they watched the German army enter the city. As they watched the Germans march in a neat line, marching forward with their feet raised like proud swans, some of them could not help but cry bitterly.

Richie was in one of the parades, wearing all the medals like every robe, and trampling his boots on the gravel road of the Champs-Élysées with the most high-spirited gesture.

The March of Glory is being played in Paris, and it is already the second time it has reverberated over Paris, the first time it has been played in Paris on January 18, 1871.

The March of Glory, also known as the Prussian March of Glory, was in existence before 1871, a testament to its long history.

In fact, the Germans did not only fight, but also made great contributions to world music, including Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, and other famous German musicians such as Mendelssohn, Schumann, Wagner, Richard. Strauss, Weber, Meyerbel, and many more. Among them John. Sebastian. Bach is known as the "father of Western music", and Beethoven is a figure of "music saint" in the Western music industry.

The March of Glory sounds impassioned and rhythmic, and it can be used to follow the music and be emotionally aroused, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, and together they make a sound to Paris, France, the Entente, and the world, to announce the occupation of Paris by the Second German Reich.

The defeat at Verdun, the defeat at the Battle of the Somme, the death, capture, and disappearance of more than 1.6 million soldiers, and the tragic fighting on the Western European continent seemed to have come to a halt with the end of the two battles.

After two crushing defeats, the Entente side was temporarily incapable of launching a new campaign. In addition to the excessive loss of soldiers, it is also because the governments of France and Britain have collapsed one after another, they are in the process of transferring power, and they need to build up forces if they want to launch new campaigns.

France is desperately trying to build a new line of defense, seeking men who can serve as soldiers from the south and west of France, and even from colonies around the world, arming them and vowing to resist to the end.

A new round of conscription in Britain has also begun, not only from Britain, but also from the Commonwealth of Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. In addition to the recruitment of Commonwealth countries, there is a new British government cabinet named Winston. Churchill's cabinet members, he even clamored for troops from the colonies to fight the brutal and brutal Germans to the end.

The United States, the latest to declare war on the Allies, an emerging power on the North American continent, is also preparing for war in full swing. In addition to the recruitment of troops in the United States, the Wilson administration shifted the economy to a wartime system almost as soon as the war was declared, declaring that it would use the United States alone to bear the war equipment of all the Allied countries, provided that the Allied countries paid for it......

In China in the Far East, she promised Britain and France to join the Entente to declare war on the Second German Reich, the fundamental reason for which Britain and France promised to abolish some unequal treaties in China, such as the return of customs control, the gradual abandonment of the Lend-Lease Zone, and the necessary assistance for China's industrial construction.

In addition, from the date of China's official declaration of war on the Second German Reich, the "Gengzi Indemnity" will be cancelled, and the United States will return the "Gengzi Indemnity" to China after 1908, and the first amount of funds has been handed over to Duan Qirui's Beiyang government.

At present, Britain, France, and other Entente members, as well as ambassadors in China, are all negotiating with the Beiyang government on some issues, and in addition to the trade of raw materials, the most important and urgent issue is to finalize how many troops the Beiyang government should send to the European continent to participate in the war.

Very strange thing, after the United States declared war on the Second German Reich, Wilhelm II soon also declared war on the United States, but the Beiyang government's declaration of war on Germany seems to have been forgotten by Wilhelm II, and the Second German Reich did not send a response to declare war on China, but only telegraphed the German army in Qingdao, China, to build fortifications and prepare for defense.

The parade in Paris started at 8 p.m. and ended at 3 p.m.

After the end, most of the German officers and soldiers who entered the city were on leave, including the 100 men of Leach's brigade.

According to the actual order, Litchie was required to arrive in Berlin by January 1, 1917, to report to the General Staff Headquarters, and then to report to the War Office. Then that is, he has almost two months of vacation before the arrival of the stipulated date.

In addition, although Li Qi received an order to be transferred, the position of brigade commander was not canceled. For this reason, he specifically asked Otto, who had been promoted. Feng. Admiral Bello, the answer he received was that he was still the commander of that brigade, and that he was under the command of the deputy brigade commander in his absence.

Most of the senior generals of the "Western Front" regarded Hindenburg's childlike behavior as a form of vexatiousness, and waited for the right opportunity to speak to Kaiser Wilhelm II to correct the farce produced by this vexatious arrangement.

In the eyes of many, Richie should not have been treated like this after his achievements, because it would be a demoralizing act if it were revealed.

Li Qi himself felt that it didn't matter, but he was comforted by important figures of the "Western Front" faction, including Crown Prince William, Falkingham, Bello, Galwitz, etc., who promised not to let Li Qi be treated unfairly, and made it clear that before the mistake was corrected, Li Qi could not be polite if he needed anything.

There will be such a result, because quite a lot of the "Western Front faction" think that they owe Rich, which makes Rich have other thoughts......
