Chapter 198 zhōngyāng Street

However, after Machen City was designated as the political and economic center of Huo Jiajun in Nanyang, the newly built road, which had only been completed for more than three months and was less than 20 meters wide, was no longer suitable for the future development needs of Machen City!

Therefore, the widening and lengthening of this road has become inevitable! However, after Young Master Huo, who knew the trend of traffic development in later generations, got the rectification report of the Government Council, he waved his pen and more than doubled the road widening plan that had reached a width of 30 meters with the green belt, and turned it into a super avenue that includes sidewalks, bicycle paths, urban green separation belts, and two-way 10 lanes, reaching a width of 65 meters!

Although the automobile had not yet been invented at this time, the bicycle was still not very practical! Therefore, Huo Shan did not explain anything to the people of the Government Council at that time, but just ordered to go down and do it!

Officially, because of his words, all the buildings within 100 meters of the entire Machen City within 100 meters of Zhōngyāng Street were relocated! Moreover, coupled with the scale of urban construction that has been expanded by six or seven times, Machen City at this time is more like a big construction site!

However, there is no hustle and bustle on this big construction site today, because the public and private enterprises in the territory of Huojiajun today must have a day off according to regulations! Therefore, early in the morning, the citizens of Machen City have already flocked to the surroundings of Zōngyāng Avenue! Constantly jumping to the east of the road! Ready to see with their own eyes what this army that has conquered the South Seas and defeated the Dutch and Portuguese is really like!

"Prime Minister. Come with me! Now the ministers of various countries are already waiting at the viewing platform, and they are waiting for you now!" Luo Fenglu looked at Xing Sè in a hurry. Huang Sheng and his entourage, who had just felt it from Taiwan, said a little anxiously.

"Well, let's go over now! By the way, is Chief of Staff Huo Shi here now?" In the case that Huo Shan and Huo Long are no longer there, Huo Shi is the military leader of this grand military parade!

"Minister Huo has already arrived! Now he has inspected the troops under review! He should be able to come back soon!"

Hearing his words, Huang Sheng nodded and walked quickly towards the temporary rostrum in the distance!

Because of the expansion of Zhōngyāng Street, coupled with the 400,000-square-meter Zhōngyāng People's Square and the Government Affairs Yuan Office Building, which are under construction! Therefore, almost all of the large construction sites near the rostrum are located, but the surrounding sight is quite open! And the surrounding construction sites can accommodate enough onlookers!

"Jianguang. We haven't seen each other for more than a year!" Looking at the soldiers who had been lined up in a neat review formation, wearing the neat and serious military uniform of the Huo Family Army, wearing a steel helmet and white gloves, and holding a steel gun, Huo Shi's eyes flashed with a hint of admiration, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the old friend next to him who was wearing an olive green army uniform and carrying the rank of lieutenant general and asked with a smile!

"Well, it's been a year and two months! since the end of the year before. After the first plenary meeting of our People's Army, we never saw each other again! But I haven't seen you for more than a year, but you've gained a lot of weight! It seems that the work of the General Staff is not too tiring!" Huo Jianguang glanced at him and couldn't help but laugh. Although today's military parade was very important, it did not receive much attention within the Huo Jiajun, and in addition to the hasty preparation time, the young master's failure to participate was also a very important reason! Therefore, there are not too many officers at the division and regimental levels of the garrisons stationed in various parts of Nanyang here. He was able to come today because of his relative proximity!

"Yes, staying in the General Staff, it is more joyful than you personally leading the army to fight on the battlefield!" After a pause, Huo Shi shook his head, and his spirit became a little solemn. "The main purpose of my visit to Machen this time is not to participate in this military parade, but to come here for the reorganization of the armed forces in our two major regions in the South and Pacific Oceans! I believe you have heard some of them during this time, right?"

Hear his words. Huo Jianguang also nodded calmly! With the gradual stabilization of the Huo family's army's rule over various places, as well as the improvement of transportation conditions and the progress of communication methods, it has become inevitable to set up a large military region to coordinate the armies of various defense regions! Moreover, the previous setting of the Nanyang Theater was already an obvious signal! Therefore, he was not surprised by Huo Shi's words!

"This time, the young master has ordered the formation of the Nanyang Military Region and the Pacific Military Region, of which the Nanyang Military Region will be the commander of you!" As he spoke, Huo Shi turned his head and looked at it, his face was full of surprise, and his eyes revealed an old friend with a little surprise, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "Jianguang, this time you have suddenly become the commander of more than 100,000 troops!"

Although he had speculated before, when this moment really came, Huo Jianguang still had an irrepressible joy in his heart! Although he was not too keen on power, as the commander of the army, he also hoped that he could have more and more soldiers in his hands, and only in this way could he participate in a larger-scale war and live up to the mighty military uniform on his body!

After calming down his mood for a while, Huo Jianguang couldn't help but turn his head and ask, "When will the new military conference be held!"

"Just after the completion of our post-war negotiations with the Netherlands and Portugal, the divisional leaders of all the units stationed in the Pacific Ocean and the South Sea Islands except Luzon gathered at the Sanma Naval Base for a meeting!"

Nodding understandingly, now that various foreign forces are paying more and more attention to the Huo Jiajun, Dongwanlu and Machen City, which are relatively friendly with each other, are no longer suitable as the location for this secret military meeting!

"Now the entire Nanyang has basically been taken by us! But why doesn't the young master move Spain, which is also old and weak! Luzon's resources are very rich!" After being in Nanyang for a long time, almost every time he saw this huge group of islands surrounded by the surrounding Huo family's military territory, Huo Jianguang couldn't help but ask with some incomprehension.

"Although I have been by the young master's side longer than yours, I don't know too much about the specific reasons!Every time I ask Huo Long, the young master always says that it's not time yet!Let's calm down for a while!" After a pause, "It may be that the young master thinks that we have experienced too many wars during this time, and the turmoil caused by defeating the Netherlands and Portugal is too great, so let's calm down for a while before making a move!" Huo Shi said with some uncertainty!

After listening to his analysis, although Huo Jianguang still had some doubts in his heart, he had to admit that Huo Shi's guess might be the most reasonable! Of course, they didn't know that Young Master Huo had only gone all out to prepare for the Qing-French War two years later!

"Okay, let's not talk about that! The military parade is about to begin! Let's go back quickly! Otherwise, the prime minister won't be able to see you, the chief of the general staff, but he will be in a hurry!" Huo Jianguang couldn't help but say with a smile.

"Well, yes! I'd love to see what kind of expressions these European hairymen would have when they saw the new troops and equipment of our People's Army again!"

"Let's go!"

――――――――

Looking at the Chinese Premier of the People's Army and the Government Council of the People's Army who was chatting with his colleagues with a smile on his face! Gwener couldn't help frowning his brow! Although the other party's proficient English made him feel very familiar! But there was indeed a blank about this person's age, education, family background, and political experience! He was sure that he had never seen this person! The most fearful thing as a diplomat was that he knew nothing about others! And others really knew about themselves! This will undoubtedly put yourself at a disadvantage in the negotiations!

"Owens sent someone to play his name in the country, and asked the Prime Minister to send the intelligence bureau to find out all his information! We can't always be so passive!" Gwena Shen explained carefully!

"I see, sir!"

Nodding, Gwena looked at the huge square that was already crowded with people, although this temporary rostrum was very simple, but from their angle, they could clearly see all the scenes on the wide zhōngyāng street thirty meters away! Although they had less than 5,000 men, judging from their standard sitting position, they had undergone rigorous training! This means that the army units of the Chinese People's Army must be as well-trained as them! This is bad news for the British!

"Colonel Tirpitz, I think your original conjecture is correct, these Chinese are ready for war with the British!" After Schleier withdrew his gaze from the retired Chinese soldiers, he couldn't help but look at the British Minister Gwiner with a deep face not far away, and said in a low voice!

Hearing his words, Tirpitz nodded calmly! Although there had been some speculation for a long time, the determination shown by the Chinese still surprised me a little! The victory parade was a naked oath of force to Britain! But after seeing those jīng sharp KPA veterans whose quality was no less than that of German soldiers, Tirpitz couldn't help but nod secretly! Although the British navy is indeed invincible at sea, it attaches too much importance to the navy, so that their land forces are not very outstanding in terms of combat strength and quality! If they really face these well-trained Chinese on the battlefield, when the equipment of both sides is similar, he believes that the Chinese will achieve the final victory!
