After the dragoons, mounted on uniform brown and red horses, conveyed the order to the commanders of the various formations and returned to the viewing platform, the loud trumpets sounded in the phalanx full of infantry and cavalry.

As the sound of the military horn sounded in the parade phalanx, the artillerymen placed in the wilderness 500 meters away from the parade ceremony also began to act, the wooden box full of smoke screen shells was opened by the crowbar, revealing smooth and round black shells, and the artillerymen in charge of loading ammunition held the smoke screen shells with both hands and carefully placed the shells in the barrels filled with gunpowder.

When all the guns were loaded with special shells, the commander of the artillery unit straightened his forearm at 90 degrees and shouted: "Ready!" ”

All the artillerymen looked tense, and the lead in the palm of their hand was straightened.

"Put!" With the command of the artillery, almost all the artillery pulled hard at the same time, and the shells were fired from the muzzle of the guns like wild horses flying faster than the speed of sound, and the powerful backseat made the brackets supporting the base of the artillery slammed into the ground.

The rumbling sound of the cannon appeared a few tenths of a second after the shell flew out of the muzzle, far away in Jérôme, on the parade ground. Bonaparte understood that the twelve-pounder bronze gun, the pinnacle of breech guns, had fired smoke cannonballs, and a few seconds later, the red, blue, and white smoke representing the French flag began to rise in the distance under the influence of air density, and the parade began with a cannon salute and a military horn.

While the invited audience (ambassadors) were speculating on the type of artillery, a new French cavalry wearing a sky-blue breasted uniform (with a silver cuirass), a black steel helmet with feathers, a command knife and a portable pistol at their waist appeared first. Bonaparte's most loyal men, the Dragoons of the French Imperial Guard.

This was the cavalry of the Guards, which originated in the Republic, flourished in the First Empire, and then fell in the Bourbon Restoration. Reborn at the hands of the Second Emperor.

The silver cuirass shone brightly in the lazy sun, and every dragoon in front of the emperor came to Jérôme with full enthusiasm and uniform steps. Bonaparte's viewing platform money.

"Long live Napoleon, long live the Empire!"

The Guards dragoons, led by their brigade commander, the old General Perissier, skillfully shouted the slogan that had been rehearsed an unknown number of times.

Standing on the stage without saying a word, Jérôme. With a smile on his face after hearing the shouts of the Guards Dragoons, Bonaparte took off the triangular hat (also known as the Great Napoleon's hat) on his head and waved it at these loyal warriors.

The Guards Dragoons, led by Pellisier, slowly left the viewing platform, followed by the Guards Grenadier unit under the leadership of Imperial Brigadier General Leboeuf.

"Long live Napoleon! Long live the Empire! ”

The grenadiers, wearing high velvet hats and carrying a Minergy gun, also greeted Jérôme with enthusiasm. Bonaparte paid his due respect.

This group of soldiers who have been carefully selected to join the parade phalanx, each of them is very similar in height and physique, and only the first person at the head of the platoon can be seen when looking inside from the side, and what is even more commendable is that their stride distance and the height of their legs are also so harmonious, as if they were carved out of the same mold.

The vast majority of the ambassadors standing at the back of the viewing platform could not help but praise the strict discipline of the French army after seeing such a uniform movement.

Only a handful of ambassadors were dismissive of the actions of the Guards Grenadier Corps, with the Russian ambassador disdainfully referring to the actions of the Grenadier Corps as "shelf divisions".

The current Russian ambassador did not know that the so-called "Shelf Division" in his mouth would defeat the Russian Imperial Army several times as many times in the Crimean War, and be the first team to capture the fortress of Sevastopol.

And for the ambassador of the Ottoman delegation, Rifat, there was nothing more exciting for him than now.

The actions of the French Empire undoubtedly showed him what it means to be a world-class strong army, and such steps and movements, Rifat can be sure that the whole of Russia ...... No, it should be said that there is no army in the whole of Europe that can do this.

If every army in France could be like the one in front of them, there would be no one in this world who would be an opponent of France.

Of course, judging from the number issued by the troops, this unit should be the most elite unit of the French Empire, and not all troops can be like the unit in front of them.

Even so, Rifat Pasha was also optimistic about the armies of the French Empire.

No matter what the cost, you must ally with France!

Rifaat made up his mind to say to himself.

After the departure of the Guards Grenadier Corps, the next step was a special show of the 1st Military District of the Seine.

More than 200 soldiers from the 1st Brigade of the 1st (Division Commander) Military Region who were in charge of the parade entered the venue under the leadership of Brigadier General Trochu, the commander of the Military Region.

The first regiment watched with high fervor passion, and under the puzzled gaze of everyone on the viewing platform, the interval between each row of troops began to widen, until the distance between the front and back of the column was about the same, and then it stopped.

Immediately afterwards, the most shocking scene of the parade appeared.

"Ready!" I saw Trox, who was standing on the side of the troops, draw his command knife and shout

More than 200 soldiers dragged the Miner gun on their shoulders.

Valley Lion/Span They won't be ......

Jérôme standing on the stage. Bonaparte suddenly remembered the scene in the later PLA military parade documentary, and he remembered that he had mentioned it to Conrobert and others before.

Did they really succeed?

Jérôme with some doubts. Bonaparte and the bewildered ambassadors looked down.

"Put!"

After Trox's second order was given, the most shocking scene appeared.

More than 200 soldiers made a unified action of preparing to stab, and leaned the muzzle bayonet against the back of the previous person, which means that as long as the person behind is slightly faster, then the person in front will face the risk of death.

This requires a team that is well versed in to accomplish this, and this carefully selected 200-strong force clearly meets this standard.

After Trochu's order was given, the soldier looked at the distance between himself and the front row, and on the other hand, he also used his peripheral vision to see if his distance was consistent with the person next to him.

The whole army pressed forward, and the ambassadors and generals on the viewing platform watched everything in front of them in amazement, they never imagined that they would one day be holding their breath and watching the parade.

Even the ambassadors of the Russian Empire, who were originally dismissive of the army of the French Empire, at this moment, couldn't help but worry about the Russian Empire, could they really defeat the army in front of them?

Everyone on the viewing platform briefly forgot their breath and forgot everything, until the parade personnel of the 1st Brigade completely put away their rifles and left the viewing platform and returned the same way.

The ambassadors and generals on the viewing platform erupted into a thunderous sound under the guidance of a certain general. Seeing this, Bonaparte also applauded the audacity of the First Brigade.

You must know that if there is a mistake in the parade, everyone from Conrobert to the regiment commander will be severely punished, and the soldiers who participate in the parade will also die.

However, they will not be criticized for their success, but will receive applause from the auditorium. Bonaparte's commendation.

After the end of the first brigade, the second and third brigades sent three times more people than the first brigade to participate in the parade, although the number was more than the first brigade, but the shock was far less than that of the first brigade, and it was generally decent.

After all the elite units were reviewed, the rest of the troops of the Senason Military Region were next, and these soldiers also shouted "Long live the Empire!" under the leadership of the regimental commander with a positive attitude. slogan.

Not a single troop, Jérôme. Bonaparte always took off his hat and saluted.

The whole parade lasted for nearly two hours, and when the last artillery unit under review appeared, it meant that all the parade items had ended.

Each 12-pounder Great Napoleon Bronze Cannon was pulled by two horses into the parade, and everyone was once again amazed by the caliber of the Great Napoleonic cannon.

However, no one was shocked by this, there were too many large-caliber guns in this era, most of them were bulky and relatively close firing distances.

In their eyes, the Great Napoleon cannons were at best miniature versions of 24-pounder siege guns, and their range was even inferior to that of Napoleon.

"France is doing some useless work!" The Russian ambassador in the crowd seized the opportunity to whisper a mockery to the French artillery unit: "An artillery like this, which is inferior in power and range, if it is used on the battlefield, I am afraid it will make people laugh big teeth." ”

The Swedish envoy, who was standing next to the Russian ambassador, just smiled slightly and did not pay attention to the Russian ambassador.

The self-deprecating ambassador of the Russian Empire could only curse in his heart. Bonaparte, and at the same time he set his sights on Rifart.

At this time, Rifart was still staring intently at Napoleon's artillery, for fear of missing every detail.

The latent consciousness in the haze told him that it must be a good thing that this cannon could be taken out on such an occasion.

The departure of the artillery unit marked the end of the parade. Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte made another parting particle, and the team in the Châteauri region began to take over.

Under the leadership of the commanders of various departments, the troops successively went to formulate a low-key meal, and garlic sausages, cold chicken and champagne with water became the main meal of the soldiers.

Jérôme. Bonaparte and the others once again came to dine in the castle.
