Chapter 2: War and Politics??

All eyes are on it. The parade has finally begun. At the head was the infantry phalanx, divided into three formations, of which at the forefront was a battalion of the 1st Division and 1st Brigade, then a battalion of the Jewish Independent Brigade, and at the back was a squadron of the Self-Defense Forces.

Judging from the costumes alone, the three queues have their own characteristics. The regular student army of the first division of the phalanx is in regular winter uniform, with a dark gray cotton military uniform on the body and uniform military cotton shoes on the feet. This kind of cotton shoes looks no different from the cotton shoes worn by ordinary people, but its sole is specially made, not only glued with a layer of rubber sole, but also nailed with iron soles.

Under the leadership of the commander, hundreds of soldiers dressed in uniform uniforms, steel helmets, unified "Weiqing-style" assault rifles, and "Weiqing-style" military spurs with unified muzzles walked proudly through the audience. When he came to the front of the rostrum, the commander shouted: "Walking!" Look to the left and salute! The soldiers let out a neat "one-two" shout, and then with a brush, everyone except the vanguard turned their heads to the rostrum on the left, and at the same time stretched forward the rifles that were originally held on their chests in a very rhythmic manner, and then, with their feet straight, kicked forward.

"Bang, bang, bang......" In addition to the announcer in charge of the live broadcast, who was explaining through the microphone: "Now walking in front of the rostrum is the ...... of the First Brigade of the First Division" The neat footsteps of the soldiers became the only sound at the moment. This grand sound was full of solemn wind and bones, revealing a killing momentum, and instantly drove away the distracting thoughts in everyone's hearts.

On the rostrum, Ouyang Yun led everyone to stand solemnly upright, and when the phalanx came to the front, he solemnly saluted the military salute and said loudly: "Hello comrades! ”

"Chief-Chief-Good!" The fighters responded to his greeting with loud voices.

"Look forward," at this time, the first row of the phalanx had reached the end of the rostrum, and as the commander shouted such a command, the soldiers collected their guns and returned to walking in unison. And immediately behind them, the phalanx of the Jewish Independent Brigade had already stepped onto the runway in front of the rostrum.

Regarding Ouyang Yun's desire to hold such a military parade with more form than substance, as the supreme commander of the Jewish Independent Brigade, Ouyang Stern did not think so, and the reason why he did not raise objections was just because he was a soldier who adhered to his duty. Of course, since stepping into the playground, he has read a lot of things from the eyes of the people of Renqiu, and he has changed this opinion. This made him unconsciously hold his chest higher, and at the same time, he also had higher requirements for his performance today.

Although most of the teams participating in the parade were battalion units, the commanders were at least officers at the level of brigade commanders without exception. As the commander of the Jewish Independent Brigade, in order to shout more accurate orders, the night before the parade began, Stern locked himself in his dormitory and practiced the password alone for half the night.

Now, it's time to test the effectiveness of last night's special training. Stern tugged in, inhaled, and as one foot crossed the white line in front of him as a marker, he exhaled and shouted, "Walking!" Look to the left and salute! With his own shout, he raised his right hand, turned his head to the left, silently recited "one and two" in his mouth, and kicked out a positive step under his feet. Immediately, the footsteps that seemed small just now suddenly became grand, and the ground trembled slightly.

The emergence of the Jewish Independent Brigade was a surprise to both the Chinese and the Americans. The Americans were especially serious, one of the glasses business people almost dropped their glasses in shock, he hurriedly reached out to hold it, and then looked more closely, and thought that he had blossomed eyes - aren't these Chinese all black hair, yellow skin and black eyes? What's going on with these people? This yellow hair, white skin, and blue eyes are clearly of the European race!

Gu Lianyun noticed the expressions on the faces of the delegations around her, and she explained in a low voice: "This unit belongs to the Jewish Independent Brigade of our Cadet Army, and most of the soldiers are Jews. ”

"Jews?!" Many Americans were shocked. And an old overseas Chinese was too excited, trembling and said: "Is this really our Chinese army?" ”

"Yes, they have all become Chinese citizens."

"This is a strong army, a real strong army?!" The old overseas Chinese said, his eyes were hot, and he couldn't help but shed tears.

In fact, it was not just him, many people in the audience at this time were already in tears. For many years, how many years have the simple Chinese people hoped to have such an army - they will not be defeated again, they will not only be wild in front of their own people. It's not an unattainable thing, but it's kept them waiting for too long.

I don't know who started the road, showing a sparse voice or two: "Long live the student army!" Then, the entire audience erupted into a thunderous roar: Long live the Cadet Army!

Ouyang Yun quietly watched as Stern commanded the troops to walk in front of him, and his eyes were already covered with a layer of fog. Once, it was also such a scene, the difference is that at that time, he was just a spectator in front of the TV. It was the only military parade he had ever seen in that time and space, and that one, for several hours during the parade, he sat in front of the television and the tears never stopped. At that time, he thought about how difficult it should be for parents to raise themselves from a baby, and how could New China have never been just a baby. To raise this baby, how many generations of hard work it will take!

The three infantry phalanxes were followed by a phalanx of mechanical troops, also three. Immediately following the infantry phalanx was the newly formed tank unit of the Cadet Army. As the announcer explained, this is a young unit, as can be seen in the new bodies and breeches of the tanks.

As soon as the tank phalanx appeared, cheers came from the audience, and many of them cheered happily: Look, this is the tank of our student army, and our student army also has tanks! On the rostrum, the eyes of several people in the US delegation who knew something about military affairs widened without exception -- laymen watched the excitement, and insiders watched the doorway. As soon as the tanks of the Cadet Army appeared, these professionals saw that this kind of tank of the Cadet Corps turned out to be a type they had never seen before. If nothing else, take the length of the barrel of its tower gun, which is incomprehensible within their range of knowledge.

They looked at Ouyang Yun's gaze and couldn't help but be even more confused.
