Chapter 6: Military Parade (2)

The Handan camp is outside the north gate of Handan City, and the location of the military parade is on the school field outside the west gate of Handan. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info As for why it is so troublesome, well, Chen Cheng said that the purpose of the military parade is to deter those restless elements inside and outside. Feel free, of course, to maximize your impact as much as possible.

The soldiers entered through the north gate, and after sparing the city, they went out through the west gate. A large viewing platform has been built on the field of the university outside the west gate, and the middle position on the stage is naturally Lin Mengchu and Chen Cheng. The rest of the positions were assigned to representatives of various powers, such as British military attachés, German ministers, and the like. Like Sugiyama Bin, there is only one place under the viewing platform. Who said that Japan is not a great power now, so even if Sugiyama Bin is an old friend of Chen Cheng, he has to stand below.

And people like Gu Weijun, Huo Yuanjia, and the likes of Chuanyue Wenfu lined up farther away. Just as everyone was talking to each other, the sound of rumbling footsteps came from the defense line of Handan City like thunder. The audience craned their necks to catch a glimpse of an army that had risen rapidly and then made great achievements.

Then, the first thing they saw was the undulating steel helmets and shiny bayonets at the end of the road. At the forefront was a regiment of the local garrison in Handan, numbering around 1,500 men. Dressed in neat and straight uniforms, these soldiers walked from the end of the road to the beat of their rifles with bayonets in their hands and the drums of military music.

The audience became silent for a while, only reporters and military attachés desperately pressed the shutter, trying to record the demeanor of the army in front of them. The People's Liberation Army's (PLA) is the most robust and powerful in the world, and the Handan Garrison, which is completely cosmetic to the PLA, has also learned that kind of compelling momentum. When a jungle of steel with more than 1,500 bayonets approached in a uniform manner, the feeling would make the hearts of those who saw this momentum tremble for the first time.

The soldiers had resolute faces, their chins slightly raised, and they passed the avenue below the viewing platform with pride and murderous aura. Suddenly, the officer leading the group raised his saber in his hand, and the beat of the drum changed, and the soldiers of the regiment behind him also changed their pace, and all of them turned their faces to the viewing platform.

The officer, with all his strength in the upward direction of the saber, shouted loudly: "Long live the Führer!" ”

The soldiers of the garrison also shouted this slogan that made Chen Cheng's face show a strange look, and Lin Mengchu also lost the frivolity and incompatibility that the two of them got along in private, her expression was serious, her left hand stretched out, and she returned the salute to the soldiers below the stage. After all the soldiers of this regiment had passed, the girl put her arm down.

The adjutant introduced to the delegates on the viewing platform: "The soldiers of the 17th Regiment of the Handan Garrison who walked over just now participated in the Battle of Langfang and later the Battle of Beijing. ”

After the translators had translated the words, the delegates began to whisper. Then, the representative of the British, who was also a special correspondent for The Times, Morry Loop, said: "I admit that the Chinese army fought very well in Langfang and Beijing, and that those who participated in the two battles must have been brave and good warriors. So, this unit must be your most elite unit, right? ”

The adjutant smiled and said, "Your Excellency will find out if you keep looking." ”

The German minister Klingon couldn't help but say sarcastically: "It's just that I have taken advantage of such a small advantage by conspiracy and trickery, and I don't think it's nothing." ”

Maurri looked at Klingon in surprise and shrugged, "But none of the soldiers and officers who fought in those two battles thought so. They all admired the combat effectiveness of the Chinese, that is, you German soldiers, weren't you also defeated in those two battles? ”

"We are not defeated!" Klingon stretched his neck like a provoked rooster, glared at the balls and said: "If it were in Europe, our soldiers of the German Empire would never suffer a setback because of lack of ammunition!" ”

"Well, I know that you Prussian soldiers are good at fighting on land," Morley said, "but this is not Europe, but China." I don't think your Juncker officer corps, no matter how powerful it is, can't send your country's troops here without restrictions, so everything you said doesn't make sense. ”

Morrison was British, and even though he was highly educated and had enough knowledge of the world, he still inevitably brought with him the arrogance, reserve, and self-confidence that are characteristic of his countrymen. He did not find it unacceptable to admit the bravery of these soldiers, who had encountered numerous strong enemies and suffered numerous defeats and even crushing defeats on the way to becoming the world's hegemon, but those enemies were eventually defeated.

Just this year, the British were fighting in Afghanistan and South Africa. But as a subject of the world hegemon, he believed that as long as the empire was willing to pay the price, he would definitely conquer the land. It's just that if you have the ability and money to send hundreds of thousands of troops to China to fight a war of conquest, it is better to directly send troops to Europe and destroy all France and Germany, and the benefits will be greater. Thirdly, it is much more cost-effective to go directly to the Americans than to go all the way to China to fight.

While Morrison and Klingon were talking, another infantry regiment passed under the viewing platform. This time it passed through the garrison regiment in other places, and like the 17th Regiment of the Handan Garrison, it also belonged to the sequence of the B regiment. Similarly, this proud and murderous infantry regiment also left a deep impression on the audience.

Then, the appearance was the C regiment and the new soldiers, although these troops were equipped with fewer technical weapons and special forces than the previous two regiments, but during the military parade, Ranmen also showed enough literacy to amaze the spectators on the side. These people are either undertrained or physically inadequate, but they also have pride and self-confidence, even fanatical emotions.

The rumbling footsteps did not stop for a moment, and one after another infantry teams kicked past under the viewing platform. After the infantry team was finished, artillery and cavalry followed.

The infantry team is just that, and the deputies also admit that the infantry in front is in good spirits, full of red light, and obviously in good physique, but their interest in the infantry is far less than that of the artillery and cavalry that come out behind.
