readx; PS: Thank you for the monthly pass support of the book friend 'tchh'! Thank you very much!

This grand military parade for the founding of the Chinese Republic is not like the last time, there is no introduction, only under the passionate music, a group of Huo Jiajun soldiers who are vigorous and powerful, walking in uniform steps, walking past the review stand.

Although this military parade does not have as many soldiers as last time, and many steps are simplified, but with the glory of defeating the United States and expanding the territory, the Huo Family Army, which has been established for six years, no longer needs to rely on the army to establish its authority like when it just rose in Nanyang four years ago!

............

"He's a real soldier!"

Helmut Erhard, who had just become the German military attache in the Chinese Republic, looked into the distance, saluted and watched Huo Long, who had been saluting and watching a group of soldiers pass by, and said with admiration in his tone.

Hearing his words, Ron Weidenfeller looked at Huo Long's straight figure and nodded slowly.

"Colonel Helmut, from these soldiers, I think it was a correct decision for us to send military personnel to study in the military academy of the Chinese people this time, they ......" After a pause, his eyes once again fell on those soldiers with cold faces and murderous eyes, "They are all a group of really elite soldiers!"

Although he personally signed the "Sino-German Cooperation Agreement" the day before yesterday, the proud Ron Weidenfeller did not think that the decision of the German General Staff to send military personnel to study at the Huaren Military Academy was correct, even if they defeated the Americans. And a brilliant victory.

However, what was originally an idea of not taking it for granted has been seen with my own eyes today. After the Chinese soldiers of the Wehrmacht, there was a radical change.

"Mr. Ron, I already knew this when I was in the United States!" Helmut Erhard replied as he looked at the Chinese soldiers in the distance with a glint in his eyes.

As a German military observer in the Americas, he has seen almost all the Sino-American wars since the Huo Jiajun fought the Battle of Pittsburgh. Helmut Erhard knew best about the military strength of the Chinese army.

It was precisely because of his original report that Germany later sent more and more German generals to the Americas to observe the Sino-American war. The military strength of the Chinese army was also recognized by the German General Staff, and finally there was a plan to send military personnel to study at the Huaxia Military Academy.

In fact, not only the Germans were surprised by this Huo family army, but even all countries were surprised by the might of the Chinese army. And an army that can tell at a glance how elite it is. Shocked in my heart.

"Colonel John, your observation is indeed correct, this is an elite army that has truly been tempered by the brutality of war!" said Henry Campbell Bannerman with a look of shock on his face.

Although during the Sino-US war negotiations, because of Bannerman's mistakes, Britain lost the opportunity and received some harsh criticism from the cabinet. However, because the negotiations had little to do with Britain, and the terms of the negotiations were not much different from what Britain wanted to see in North America, Bannerman had nothing to lose.

Originally, he was going to return to China. But the thought of John Brown's account of the Chinese army gave him the idea of seeing it with his own eyes. Therefore, after informing the high-level of Huo Jiajun in the Americas, he took a boat from San Francisco all the way across the Pacific Ocean and came to Ma Chen, and today his goal was achieved.

But it also proves that John Brown's words are not wrong.

"It's a pity that today we can only see their outward excellent military qualities, but we can't see other tactical commands and weapon arrangements!" After listening to Bannerman's words, John Brown said with some regret.

"It's enough to see this! It proves that what you said before is indeed true! After returning to England this time, I will personally go to the Prime Minister and the Secretary of War to ask them to pay attention to your precious battle reports!" After saying that, Bannerman patted John Brown on the shoulder, "John, the British Army is very fortunate to have such a serious and responsible senior officer as you!"

"Sir, this is what I should do!" said John Brown respectfully.

"Hmm!" Bannerman nodded and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, the military reform you are looking forward to will come soon!" After saying that, Bannerman's eyes were on the elite army in the distance, and his eyes were sharper than ever.

Before, he never thought that the army of the Republic of China would be so elite.

"Perhaps, it would be a mistake for the British Empire to let the Chinese get the former American lands west of the Mississippi River!" thought to Henry Campbell Banneman.

The morning passed quickly, and the parade went very smoothly, although the whole process was only half a day, but the influence it caused, like a fine wine fermented for thousands of years, began to spread its influence to the world.

Compared with the military parade held by Huo Jiajun four years ago, although the military parade in 1886 did not have as many soldiers and artillery as it was at the beginning, this military parade caused more sensations around the world with the victory of the Sino-American War and the achievements of Huo Jiajun after six years of development, and the impact was also more extensive.

Almost three days after the military parade for the founding of the Chinese Republic on October 1, almost all the main newspapers and media in every country around the world published the same content on the front pages. Even the Qing Dynasty, which lived next to each other, was no exception.

With the spread of the six-star flag, soon everyone knew that in the east, there was a Chinese republic that appeared in this world. What is even more surprising is that the new country has a huge land area, and it is almost as a world empire as Britain and France, and it is spread over all continents except Europe.

Just when everyone was remembering this new huge country, as her controller, Huo Shan was also thinking about the path that Huo Jiajun would take in the future.

At this moment, there is the latest version of the world map on his desk, and the red part of it represents the Huo Jiajun at this moment, which is also the land of the Huaxia Republic.

"After six years, we have finally come to this point! Although there have been many ups and downs in the middle, fortunately, the result is quite satisfactory. But the next road will not be easy!" Huo Shan thought to himself.

"However, no matter how difficult it is, you must go on, even if you are the enemy of the whole world. Huo Shan strengthened his belief.

"Young Master, Young Master......!"

At this moment, Huo Feng rushed in from outside the door with a loud shout.

Seeing the panic and a hint of joy on his face at the moment, Huo Shan couldn't help frowning, "I think you are also the Minister of the Navy of a country now, why are you still so unstable!"

"Yes, young master!" After listening to Huo Shan's words, although Huo Feng's face was a lot more serious, the look in his eyes remained unchanged.

"Okay, let's talk about it, what's the matter? You actually made this guy look like this?" Huo Shan asked with a wave of his hand.

Hearing this, a trace of embarrassment flashed on Huo Feng's face, but thinking of the news he had just gotten, all the embarrassment disappeared.

"Young Master, I just received the news that the old lady has set off from Taipei and is heading towards Yap Island!" Huo Feng took a deep breath and said in a calm tone as much as possible.

"What?"

Huo Shan, who was originally sitting in the chair behind the desk, stood up suddenly. The calm on his face was gone at this moment, and all that was left was shock and disbelief.

"What you said is true, my mother is here?"

"Yes, young master, the old lady took a cruise ship from the Pacific Ocean, protected by the destroyer 'Tiandan' of the South Ocean Fleet, sailed directly to Saipan, and then replenished coal and fresh water, and then went south along the Mana Islands (Northern Mariana Islands) to Yap Island, according to the speed of the cruise ship, the whole voyage should be about fifteen days. ”

After listening to Huo Feng's words, Huo Shan was stunned. He never thought that his mother would come to Yap Island in person.

"Helen's pregnancy, mother knows?" The reason why his mother can chase her across thousands of miles of sea, Huo Shan only wants to get this.

"Yes!" Huo Feng said after hesitating for a moment.

"Alas!" Huo Shan sighed and sat down on his chair. He knew the news, and it must have been said by one of Huo Feng and Huo Hu. However, Huo Shan didn't blame them, after all, it was about the inheritance of the Huo family, and as retainers, they naturally cared about it. Moreover, it is even more impossible to hide it from the old lady who has nurtured them.

Looking at the frustrated look on Huo Shan's face, Huo Feng hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "Young master, we can't help it, the old lady asks us about the whereabouts of the young master almost every day, we have persisted for half a year, and we really can't hold on." And ......!"

"Okay, needless to say! I understand your hardships and difficulties, and I don't blame you for this!" Huo Shan waved his hand to interrupt Huo Feng's words.

The arrival of his mother was not a headache for Huo Shan, what really made him uneasy was the problem of getting along with Helen, a Western girl, and her Eastern mother-in-law. Different cultural customs and living habits have different ways of looking at things. If a conflict breaks out between the two because of this, Hoshanga will be uncomfortable at both ends in the middle.

Thinking of this, Huo Shan's brain hurts. One is a mother, the other is a wife who is pregnant with her own child, and the balance between them is too difficult to master.

At this time, Huo Feng cautiously glanced at Huo Shan, who was secretly worried at the moment, and said cautiously: "Young master, in fact, it's not just the old lady who came this time!"

"Who else?

"Hmm!" Huo Feng looked at Huo Shan's face, "And your two fiancées, as well as your two fathers-in-law, and Miss Ping'er are here!"

As soon as Huo Feng's words fell, Huo Shan's mouth opened to the maximum, and then the shock on his face turned into a wry smile.

"It's over, it's going to be a mess this time!" (To be continued.) )
