Chapter 296 Founding Military Parade

The government of the Chinese Empire basically copied the government system of the Chinese Territory, and only the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was established as a new institution, and Wu Qiong served as the first minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Chinese Empire no longer used relatives or nobles as the criteria for appointment, but adopted the method of hiring people based on merit.

As for the Wang family, the Xia family, and the Fang family, they all said that they would fade out of the political and military circles and enter the business world, and later these three families formed one of the largest consortia in the empire.

The establishment of the Chinese Empire became a major event in the world, and all governments sent delegations to observe the ceremony, and Fang Xiaoyu, who was a little ingenious about the enthronement, decided to hold a large-scale military parade in the capital. The military parade was a novelty that had never been seen before, which made the viewing groups from all over the world very excited, and it was a good time to learn about the various advanced weapons of the Chinese Empire.

On the morning of the second day after ascending the throne, Fang Xiaoyu and many other countries' viewing groups were preparing to go to the southern city wall of the capital to watch the ceremony. Since there were no wide enough streets in the capital, Fang Xiaoyu could only place his first military parade outside the city.

For this military parade, the military is also very supportive, after Fang Xiaoyu described the situation of China's previous military parades that he saw in later generations, Tobul and Feng Shichang studied for several days before they were determined, and then after the selected troops were mobilized from all over the city for training, it took two months to get it done.

The weather in the morning was very clear, it was a good day for the military parade, and a large number of nearby people who received the news gathered here, wanting to see this novel military parade, so Liu Junxi sent a large number of police to maintain order at the scene, and the internal security division and the armed police also mobilized a lot of strength to carefully monitor the surroundings, for fear of any saboteurs.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Fang Xiaoyu walked up to the city, holding the mottled city wall with his hand, and he sighed with emotion. Back then, he watched the military parade in front of the TV, and he didn't expect to watch it on the spot one day, and he stood on the rostrum as the protagonist to review the parade.

The envoys of various countries followed Fang Xiaoyu up the city wall, they looked around as they walked, and these people soon found that there were many neat teams in the distance, among which there seemed to be some big guys, but they were too far away and they couldn't see clearly.

Fang Xiaoyu and the Marshal of the St. Martin Empire beside him talked casually, and soon walked to the middle of the city tower, and with the help of some ceremonial officers, the envoys of various countries also found their positions on both sides.

Seeing that everyone was already in place, an open-top jeep slowly drove in the distance and did not stop until it was under the city wall. Tobul, chief of the army general staff, stood on the car and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the officers and soldiers are ready to be reviewed." ”

Tobul's words startled the envoys, and it turned out that a loudspeaker was installed on the jeep, which made Tobul's voice unusually loud.

Fang Xiaoyu waved his hand and said, "Let's start." Fang Xiaoyu also had a megaphone in front of him, and after hearing Fang Xiaoyu's words, Thobul saluted again, and the jeep slowly drove into the distance.

Soon a group of soldiers walked down the tower with neat steps, and a number of Type 91 rifles loaded with bayonets glittered in the sun, matching the neat formation and separate steps of the soldiers, making the envoys feel a sense of murder rushing towards them.

Seeing such a neat military appearance, such a fresh formation and pace, a burst of cheers broke out among the people. Immediately afterwards, under the guidance of three jeeps, military trucks full of soldiers lined up in a neat line, and behind the military vehicles there were also 76-millimeter guns, and the military vehicles drove under the city walls in a row of four in a neat phalanx. The convoy was lined with three-wheeled motorcycles, and light and heavy machine guns were mounted on each military vehicle and motorcycle.

Such a novel force made the envoys of various countries gasp, the internal combustion engine has a vague concept among civilian scientists in the western continent, but it has not yet been put into practical use, and it has not attracted the attention of the high-level.

Even if they didn't understand the principle at all, the envoys of various countries could still estimate that their marching speed was definitely not low, and some people had already faintly felt that the rapid collapse of the Cheng family's army had something to do with these equipment.

Behind the car platoon, the artillery of the brigade slowly came with heavy tractors, carrying various types of heavy guns ranging from 105 mm to 203 mm, this scene made them gasp again, they could not have imagined that the cars of the Chinese Empire had reached such a level that they could easily drag heavy artillery forward.

These envoys couldn't help but wonder how if their army could move quickly even with heavy artillery, how would this make other teams fight.

Marshal Kaolan, who was standing beside Fang Xiaoyu, couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, I don't know if these weapons of yours are for sale." As soon as Marshal Kaolan said this, the envoys of the various countries next to him pricked up their ears, if they could buy such advanced equipment, they really couldn't ask for it.

Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said: "Of course sell, the World Realm Expo will open in a few days, and when the World Realm Expo is over, some weapons manufacturers in our empire are also preparing to open an arms exhibition, you can go there to buy it." ”

Fang Xiaoyu pretended to inadvertently advertise his weapons exhibition, and then pointed to the square team behind him and said, "Let's continue to watch the parade, there are more powerful weapons in the back." ”

After listening to Fang Xiaoyu's words, everyone stretched their necks and looked back, only to see a large group of heavy iron boxes slowly moving here, the thick black smoke and the high muzzle of the cannon all gave people a feeling of heaviness.

"What's that?" Sir Duncan, the special envoy of the Saar Empire, who had been silent all the time, couldn't help but exclaim, which was unique to him who had always regarded himself as a gentleman and was complacent with his cultivation and aristocratic temperament.

Fang Xiaoyu smiled and explained: "I call this kind of weapon a chariot, this kind of chariot can be invulnerable, cross trenches and ditches like walking on flat ground, and bring its own weapon is the supreme weapon of the army." The combat vehicles that Fang Xiaoyu was referring to were not what he planned to equip the troops, but special export models, and this time they were also taken out for advertising in order to sell well at the weapons exhibition in a few days.

Everyone believed Fang Xiaoyu's words, and the envoys of the Boston Empire and the Japanese Kingdom who were standing a little far away were already blue and sweating.

All the countries in the Western Continent are working the steam engine, and it is precisely because of the difficulty of miniaturization of the steam engine that practical vehicles have not been able to enter the practical application for a long time, and the internal combustion engine is only a private research, and there is no concept of these envoys, so they sent back the news that the Chinese Empire may have succeeded in miniaturizing the steam engine in the news they sent back to their respective countries.
