Chapter 205: The Founding Military Parade (Part II)
The second echelon of super-large heavy trucks has not yet formed mass production, mainly because the technology of tires has not been up to standard, although the appearance is very powerful, but in fact can not pull much. The big round box in the back is just a model, and the inside, like the rocket launcher in front, is empty, and has not yet been developed.
An epoch-making new weapon cannot be achieved overnight. At the beginning of the research, there are only theories, and countless data need to be demonstrated, and after the demonstration, a lot of time is required to compare experiments, which is quite a long time. The most important thing is that there is nothing to borrow, and everything has to be explored by yourself.
Chen Shao is also willing to learn from the United States in later generations, and be the first person to eat crabs. Although the future is difficult and requires a lot of manpower and material resources, all this is worth it in the face of huge benefits.
Chen Shao himself is not omnipotent, and some things have only seen photos, so he can only give hints in some aspects. As for those theoretical data, I don't understand it at all, after all, Chen Shao is just a flat-headed ordinary person in later generations, and he usually only uses the computer to watch videos and pictures and knows some simple things.
Chen Shao has only seen such things as rocket propulsion, and as for what the principle is, Chen Shao doesn't understand it at all. Although Sergei is a perfect-level scientist, he can only take a solid foundation for high-science products with zero technology.
Showing his appearance during the parade was just Chen Shao's self-satisfaction. After all, Chen Shao, who is used to watching military parades in later generations, always feels that something is missing. And the whole process of this military parade will be recorded, and then it will be screened in the north and south of the country, and it will be preserved forever. So Chen Shao pulled these two things out, and as for what other countries think, Chen Shao wouldn't care. In the face of absolute force, everything is a paper tiger.
Everyone is speculating about what the equipment phalanx that came out of the field last was loaded. Cuboid box, airtight. A giant truck with a long cylinder in the back. Except for Wang Yunshan, the other imperial dignitaries on the rostrum didn't know what was inside.
The contents may not have combat effectiveness yet, but Wang Yunshan believes that they will make the whole world tremble in the near future. They are the only ones who are qualified to be witnesses to the finale of the Imperial Parade. Let them witness this moment, and at the same time, hope that they will grow with the empire, defend the nation, and defend the empire.
Of course, in order to give those who do not know the truth a little space for imagination, at the end of the heavy equipment phalanx, ten cannons with open artillery jackets were dedicated, this kind of cannon with a caliber of more than 300 millimeters, the long barrel leans against the sky and the sword, and the thick muzzle is full of shock, which really brings a strong visual impact to people. Chen Shao took out these things, and also wanted countries around the world to guess and kill more brain cells.
At the same time as the parade was underway, the fleet, led by two battleships, was also inspected on the sea surface of Tianjin. The fleet group sailed over the sea of Tianjin with overwhelming momentum, and as the fleet moved, the naval guns kept playing a salute to congratulate the establishment of the empire.
Many of the people of Tianjin gathered on the coast to watch the empire's mighty fleet. There are also more small boats driven by fishermen, who follow the fleet and see these weapons up close.
It is clear to everyone that the rise of the empire is inseparable from these maritime hegemons, and it is with this naval fleet that can fight and win battles, the empire can defeat Japan and defeat the Anglo-French alliance so quickly. Once the land of China falls into a protracted war, it will definitely be a huge disaster for this already scarred country.
Many of the Chinese who came to watch it were the first time to see such a huge ship, and they were deeply shocked and proud at the same time. In the future, they can also say loudly that China also has huge ships and artillery. Especially the residents of Tianjin, many old fishermen have experienced the Eight-Nation Alliance, and when it comes to those blonde and blue-eyed foreigners, they hate them so much. But when talking about the strong ships and guns of foreigners, they can only sigh in their hearts, which is really difficult to speak. A large country with a territory of 10,000 miles and a population of 40,000,000 people is being kneaded every day, but there is no room for resistance. In the final analysis, it was because China did not have a rival fleet at that time, if China had its own powerful fleet at that time, and a few countries would dare to come and be presumptuous.
Now all this humiliation will be far away from them, all because of the imperial fleet in their eyes, and the millions of emperors, who defended the dignity of this country with their lives, and exchanged their blood for the respect of all countries in the world.
You don't see the foreigners who used to do evil, and now they are in prison, waiting for the judgment of the empire.
You don't see the original high-spirited foreigners, but now they have become polite and polite, and how many foreigners have come to the door to apologize in person.
You don't see the original Chinese-style concession of a large country, and now it has been returned on its own initiative.
You don't see the flags of all nations flying everywhere, and now there are only golden dragons rising on the land of China.
You don't see the foreigner warships that used to run rampant in the Chinese sea, and now they can only obediently give way to the fishing boats.
……
The eyes of the people are bright, they all understand that none of this came out of thin air, without the great emperor of the Chinese Empire today, without the group of troops who shed their heads and blood, they can only think about such days in their hearts.
The boss will remember who brought today's glory and days, who rescued them from the darkness, who gave them the land of their dreams, and who allowed them to live a good life. The people remember this very well.
From today onwards, Chen Shao's prestige has truly reached its peak.
The military parade at sea is the same as the Chengtianmen military parade, which is recorded throughout the whole process, and it will be broadcast together with the Chengtianmen military parade throughout the country and to various Chinese gathering places in the world. Hearing is false, seeing is believing, some things are not just listening, but also let all Chinese people feel deeply. Although they are also patriotic and hope that the motherland will be strong, some things have already taken root in the hearts of the people and cannot be changed just by the news in the newspapers.
The parade ended with a cannon salute, and the people's celebratory parade had just begun. The whole celebration lasted until noon, and finally the crowd in the square slowly dispersed under the command of the order.
After the parade, Chen Shao came directly to the China Auditorium, which was already filled with hundreds of large round tables. There were also Jiang Baili, Cai Yi and other generals who accompanied them, basically except for the generals who did not come for important matters, everyone else came.
The people gathered here were all disabled soldiers, who had been invited here from the north and south of the motherland, and they had also visited the parade before. Originally, according to Chen Shao's plan, these disabled soldiers would be asked to form a square team, but after the first rehearsal, these wounded soldiers refused one after another. Resolutely not participating in the parade, even some old commanders to persuade it is useless.
Chen Shao didn't want to order them, Chen Shao believed that as long as he spoke, these disabled veterans would never refuse. But Chen Shao didn't want to force them with orders from top to bottom, and there were some things that Chen Shao also understood. In this regard, Chen Shao can only sigh in his heart: they are the greatest.
However, they did not intend to give up the glory they deserved, and they could not participate in the parade, but they must participate in the recording of the parade propaganda film. They will appear in front of the world together with the military parade records, and the world will remember them and remember what they have done for this country and this nation.
Chen Shao and the generals held a brief meeting in the background to make the final arrangements for the military affairs and job assignments in each region in the future; the military parade was over, the celebration was over, and the generals would go their separate ways after attending the banquet waiting for them. All the disabled soldiers and generals at all levels invited to this banquet, as commanders and generals, it is rare for everyone to get together, and more of them are from different sides of the world, so such scenes are rare.
By the end of the meeting, the banquet in front of us was almost ready. All the disabled soldiers of Hanjing who came to Hanjing have been seated, and the auditorium, which was originally very lively. After Chen Shao and his party walked out, the scene instantly became very quiet, and many wounded soldiers were about to get up and salute when they were stopped by Chen Shao.
"Comrades, you don't need to get up." Chen Shao pressed his hand, and then stood up and saluted the disabled soldiers in the four directions of the auditorium in turn, and then shouted with full anger: "If you want to salute, you are qualified to accept everyone's salute, and I am here to thank all comrades for their unrepentant dedication to the empire and the Chinese nation." The Empire will not forget your efforts, nor will it forget where your wounds came from, and your heroic deeds will forever be remembered in the annals of the Empire. You are the heroes of the empire and the warriors of the nation. ”
"The Bestowal Ceremony Begins!" As soon as Chen Shao's words fell, Cai Yi's words sounded at the right time.
There is another purpose for coming here today, and that is to award these veterans medals, and they deserve that medal. According to a period of research, the specifications of the military medal of merit have finally been determined. The Order of the Dragon, the highest honor of the Empire, the Order of Light, which represents the highest military merit, the Order of Immortality, and the Order of Valor and Fearless...... Among them, the Order of the Dragon and the Order of Immortality have no ranks, while the Order of Light and the Order of Warrior are divided into three levels. Level 1 to Level 3, Level 3 is the lowest, Level 1 is the highest.
No one has won the Shenlong Medal this time, this medal represents the highest national honor, and Chen Shao was specially prepared for World War II. The generals in the award are more likely to receive the Medal of Light, which means to save China from darkness and restore the light of the land of China, which is a medal of military merit.
Just as Jiang Baili, Cai Ye and others have all won the first-class Bright Medal, Chen Fuqin, Kong Hong and others have all won the second-class Bright Medal, and the others are basically third-class Bright Medals. The Medal of Warrior is issued to all soldiers of the army, from generals to small soldiers. The Immortal Medal is given to those soldiers who died in battle, indicating that their spirit of senseless sacrifice will be immortalized.
Chen Shao himself only won a first-class Bright Medal, and the Ministry of Defense has very strict requirements for the issuance of medals, and in order to ensure the value of the medals, they will not become a big road goods, and there are not many medals issued per person.
Of course, there are some other medals, which will slowly appear later.
In the auditorium, Cai Ye's words made those disabled soldiers very excited, they never thought that they would also have the qualifications to be awarded. Originally, they thought they were here for a meeting, but this was too much for them to expect.
Cai Ye took out a long list and read:
"Zhao Dexi, a former soldier of the Nanjing Northern Expeditionary Army, insisted on fighting to the death with the Japanese when there were only about 100 people left in the whole regiment when he participated in the defense of Jinan City, killing 13 enemies, resulting in more than 40 wounds on his body. Zhao Dexi's heroic deeds are now awarded the Order of Warriors of the First Class to Comrade Zhao Dexi in accordance with the standards for the issuance of medals of the Imperial Ministry of Defense. ”
The two soldiers helped Zhao Dexi to the middle of the auditorium, and Chen Shao personally hung up the medal for Zhao Dexi, saying: "Comrade Zhao Dexi, you are worthy of being a warrior." After finishing speaking, Chen Shao saluted Zhao Dexi again. The latter was full of tears, because he was too excited, his body swayed a little, raised his right hand trembling slightly, and saluted Chen Shao as well. Because of the wound on his body, although he has healed, he is no longer able to walk on his own like a normal person.
Looking at the medal shining with silver light on his chest, Zhao Dexi was not only excited, but also remembered the comrades-in-arms who fought together in Jinan City, remembered that they fell in a pool of blood one by one, and remembered the hideous faces of the Japanese soldiers and the heart-rending shouts before death. Remembering that if he hadn't been found in the pile of corpses, he might have been one of the martyrs now.
……
"Meng Xuanming, a former Marine Corps soldier, ,...... when liberating Treasure Island A second-class Warrior Medal is hereby awarded. ”
……
Disabled veterans were awarded medals one after another, and then many soldiers were personally hung up by generals at all levels to hang medals for those soldiers. After all the medals were awarded, the banquet officially began. The generals did not have a table alone, but automatically went to the tables of the wounded soldiers and toasted their old subordinates, of course, some people could not drink, but could only use drinks instead.
Chen Shao also personally went to each table and had a cordial conversation with the soldiers, asking them if they had any practical difficulties.
After the end of this banquet, Chen Shao, Cai Ye and others did not stop, and there were arrangements below. The relatives of the fallen soldiers still need to go there, and the medals have not been issued to the relatives of the fallen soldiers, and this must be done before the families leave.
Thousands of family members of the fallen soldiers also gathered together, seeing Chen Shao's arrival, and seeing Chen Shao's slight smile again, everyone felt a sense of cordiality from the bottom of their hearts. They had contact with Chen Shao once a few days ago, and Chen Shao's kind smile has always been engraved in everyone's hearts.
Chen Shao personally handed over each immortal medal to all the families who died in battle, and there was also a golden dragon flag of the Chinese Empire.
