Chapter 529: A Torrent of Metal in the Sky and Underground

The people of Daming, looking at Daming's fighter group and listening to the introduction on the radio, were all very excited and cheered loudly.

Most people's emotions are simply pure happiness and excitement.

The mood of the delegates of the Tessie countries was much more complicated.

Especially the royal family, bureaucrats, and generals at the top......

William III looked at the group of planes in the sky with some distraction:

"10,000 in total...... And all of them are combat aircraft......

"Our entire Prussian Air Force, all the fixed-wing combat aircraft, in total, is about this number......

"There are 10,000 planes paraded in Daming?

"This can't be all the planes of the Ming Dynasty......"

Gneisenau also moved his somewhat stiff neck and said:

"Of course, it can't be all the planes, the territory of Daming is too large......

"These 10,000 combat planes may just be the air force planes of one of the five major governors of the Ming Dynasty.

"According to what we learned from the premise, this kind of military parade is usually the responsibility of the Chinese military governor's office of the Ming Dynasty.

"The Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army is the local army of the Ming Dynasty, and to some extent, it can also be regarded as a Praetorian Guard.

"The strength is the strongest among all the prefectures, but the overall scale cannot account for one-third of the five major prefectures."

At this time, Prussian Chancellor Stein said with some uncertainty:

"Daming will really take out 10,000 combat planes to participate in the parade?

"Will this put too much pressure on logistics supply and management, equipment and personnel scheduling?

"Is there a possibility that Daming did not actually arrange 10,000 planes, but fewer planes to fly in a loop in the sky?

"After all, we can't see where the plane took off from, or where it ended up.

"In fact, it only takes a maximum of 3,000 planes to fly in the sky all the time."

William III said with a pained expression:

"I hope so, I hope that the Ming Dynasty Governor's Mansion will not be able to dispatch 10,000 planes......"

Gneisenau smiled bitterly and said:

"That possibility is too low, Daming took out 3,000 planes is enough shock, there is no need to forcibly put the number of planes to 10,000.

"Since Da Ming has publicly said that 10,000 combat aircraft have been mobilized to participate in the military parade, it is basically impossible to fake.

Stein said with a very serious expression:

"If there are really 10,000 aircraft, then Daming's ability to dispatch and use these 10,000 aircraft at the same time is more important than having 10,000 aircraft."

Gneisenau continued to nod and said:

"Yes, at the moment the Prussian Air Force does not have this capability......"

In the ranks of the British delegates not far away, King George IV used his brain a little:

"If there are really 10,000 planes in total......

"It would probably take more than two hours for these planes to pass through the square at this speed, right?

"The whole parade was only two hours......"

Arthur Wellesley looked up at the plane in the sky, and his attention did not change at this time, and he expressed his approval at the very end:

"That's true, so these planes may not be simply paraded planes at all, they are also the background of the whole parade......

"If nothing else, they will always pass through the sky, forming a river of airplanes......"

Nelson stretched out his hand and pointed to the ground in the distance, listening to the distant voice:

"There is also a river of steel on the ground......

"The gap is too big, not to mention the technology gap, just looking at the scale gap is already too big, we are not a level of opponents at all......"

Wellesley also shook his head now:

"It is true that the gap is too big, and the strong scheduling and mobilization capabilities shown by a military parade of this scale are beyond the reach of any other country."

George IV was silent, having no further illusions about the future of Britain.

The organizational form and purpose of Zhu Jingyuan's military parade at the enthronement ceremony were very different from the military parades that Zhu Jingyuan often watched in his previous life.

According to Zhu Jingyuan's meaning, this time he will not show the technical level or any advanced technology.

What is on display is pure direct power.

Relying on the quantity, scale, and sustainability of conventional equipment, it is stacked to form a suppressive effect that breaks through ingenuity.

Of course, this "not advanced" is only for the technological frontier of the Ming Dynasty, not for the technical level of the world.

Daming currently belongs to the stock of propeller aircraft, including piston propeller aircraft in previous years, and it is still something that the Taixi countries cannot ask for.

Therefore, the end result is to use similar products with stronger performance and better quality to form an overwhelming scale.

The total number of combat aircraft referred to is 10,000.

There are indeed so many planes that can be concentrated in the Ming Dynasty Military Governor's Office, so there is such an arrangement.

There is no need to make the plane fly several times to create a visual effect......

Of course, they did do some planning and arrangement, rather than just going through the scene in order.

The first aircraft the audience saw was a large fleet of 1,000 single-engine propeller fighters organized by the Air Force.

In this way, it directly forms an impact effect that covers the sky and the sun.

After the single-engine fighter group, there are larger fighters, attack aircraft and bombers of various sizes, and transports, all kinds of different types of aircraft.

According to the size and number of aircraft types, they are divided into small groups of twenty or thirty to more than 100 planes, and maintain a speed of one group per minute to pass over the parade square.

Each small group of aircraft will also be divided into groups of a few to dozens of aircraft depending on the type of aircraft.

On average, every ten seconds or so, a group of planes will enter the parade square.

The propeller plane maintains a reduced speed, and it basically takes two or three minutes from the time it enters the audience's field of view to when it disappears.

In this way, there will be a constant stream of planes coming into view, and at the same time planes constantly leaving the field of view.

These planes create the effect of flowing like a river in the air.

This process will last about two hours.

The total planned time for this military parade is also about two hours.

So it is true that there will be planes flying in the sky throughout the parade, as George IV thought.

The planes arrived before the Army came out, and the planes disappeared after the Army left the field.

They will be the protagonist and backdrop of the entire parade, rather than being shown at a separate time slot.

That's why the Air Force's planes will be arranged to enter the field before the Army enters the field.

Otherwise, the speed and distance can be calculated in the dispatch, and the plane can be arranged to arrive at a special time.

At the same time, the combat vehicles on the army side were arranged according to the same standards.

The first to enter was the armored combat vehicle group, which also came out with a large area of black pressure.

And instead of slowly passing at the pace of an infantry parade, they passed through the parade ground at a rush speed of thirty kilometers per hour.

Because the number of combat vehicles participating in the parade is equally huge, or basically all of them.

According to Zhu Jingyuan's instructions, since the latest missiles and other weapons cannot be displayed in this military parade, the remaining good equipment basically belongs to "chariots."

These chariots were divided into three major types by the military establishment of the Ming Dynasty.

The first is the "self-propelled armored shield vehicle" with heavy fire armor, similar to Zhu Jingyuan's battle tank in his previous life.

According to the specifications and weight, it can be divided into different classes such as heavy and light.

The main task on the battlefield is to break through the line of defense and launch a direct attack with the cooperation of infantry.

Then there is the "self-propelled infantry fighting vehicle", which is also a combat vehicle in the traditional sense of the Ming Dynasty, and its function is also similar to that of the infantry fighting vehicle of the previous life.

Depending on the actual needs, there are wheeled and tracked designs, some are equipped with medium-caliber guns, and some are equipped with heavy machine guns of twenty mm.

They are elite infantry's combined weapons platforms and vehicles, usually each carrying a combat squad and acting in conjunction with armored shield vehicles.

Finally, there are "self-propelled troop vehicles", including military trucks, military cars, maintenance vehicles, and various specialized engineering vehicles that build bridges and pave roads.

These combat vehicles are auxiliary vehicles, which do not have direct combat capabilities and undertake the logistics of the first two.

Or transport a large number of regular infantry to perform tasks that require a large number of manpower.

The infantry contingent at this parade all entered the stadium on these various types of vehicles.

According to the type and function and the organization of the battle, the armored aircraft are arranged one by one, and the speed of rushing to the battlefield is maintained through the square.

There were no ordinary infantry walking or running at all.

Therefore, the pace of the whole military parade is very fast, similar to the normal state of training rushing to the battlefield.

If there are not enough people, vehicles, and planes organized to maintain this speed through the field, then the parade will soon be over.

But this military parade of the Ming Dynasty will normally last for two hours.

So all the spectators, the nobles and officials and the common people of the Ming Dynasty, the royal family and the bureaucrats and scholars of Taixi, will continue to experience it here for two hours.

The movement and march of the army in an air-ground integration lasted two hours.

Therefore, at the beginning of the parade, when the troops in the front part appeared and explained, there would be cheers one after another.

But in the second half, the frequency and intensity of the cheers decreased significantly.

Because after a long time, people are numb.

At the same time, the two hours seemed to be a long time.

When it was close to twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the parade finally came to an end, and the last ground combat troops continued to march at a pace and left the scene.

But the fleet in the sky has grown larger again.

From the continuous river in the middle of the parade, it quickly changed like the Qiantang River at high tide.

I don't know how many planes are densely packed, and once again pulled out the effect of covering the sky and the sun.

The spectators, who had already been numb, were nervous and curious again after the relaxation of knowing that the parade was coming to an end.

The broadcast was also very cooperative to explain the situation of the follow-up fleet again:

"The last team to enter the parade ground was an aircraft from the naval aviation unit, with a total of 1,000 fighters and attack aircraft......"

Hearing this broadcast, George IV was visibly stunned:

"Naval planes? Are these all carrier-based aircraft? A thousand carrier-based aircraft? ”

Nelson was also stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted:

"The aircraft of naval aviation are not necessarily carrier-based aircraft, but also road-based aircraft.

"For example, for aircraft used for offshore patrols and operations, it is much more convenient to use airfields on the coastline as a base than aircraft carriers.

"Moreover, there will be a special naval parade in the future, and the navy's carrier-based aircraft will definitely be specially displayed at the parade.

"Therefore, it is very likely that there are no carrier-based aircraft in the fleet we see now......"

It was also true that the planes of these naval aviation were roadbed, as Nelson had predicted.

If you want to see the carrier-based aircraft group, you have to wait for the ship's parade two days later.

At 12 o'clock in the afternoon, the military parade on land officially ended.

The chariots on the ground and the planes in the air slowly disappeared from the audience's field of vision.

But the vast majority of the audience still maintained a state of distraction and numbness, standing quietly in place and reminiscing for a long time.

The manner and scale of this military parade were too unexpected for everyone.

The news announcing the end of the military parade on the radio was repeated three times before the scene became lively again.

Zhu Jingyuan first sent his father and grandfather back to rest, and then took the highest person on the scene to participate in the banquet in the side hall of Fengtian Palace.

This banquet is really prepared for eating, and after eating, everyone will go back to rest.

Prepare to take a boat and vehicle to Zhoushan Military Port tomorrow to participate in the parade the day after tomorrow.

However, it is difficult for many people to really rest at ease.

The power displayed by the military parade of the Ming Dynasty made many members of the royal family, bureaucrats and generals feel cold in their vests.

However, people in different countries have different specific thoughts and reactions.

There is a mentality and argument among people from all walks of life in Britain who lie flat and rot.

"Anyway, the relationship between the royal family of the United Kingdom and the Ming royal family is very close, and the future king of Britain is likely to be the son of the Ming Emperor."

"The army of the United Kingdom is also completely incapable of resisting the Ming Dynasty, and it should be said that it has no strength to resist the Ming Dynasty at all."

"Our mainland is still on the island, and we will not be directly affected by the chaos on the continent of Europa."

"In the future, it is ...... to honestly abide by the rules of the Ming Dynasty and fully integrate into the economic and political system of the Ming Dynasty."

The situation with the French is somewhat similar.

Although the French had a stronger sense of crisis and already felt the threat of Prussia on land.

But Zhu Jingyuan had already given Charles a definite answer, and allowed Charles to discuss the situation with his ministers.

In this way, the French also have a similar mentality to the British.

"All the Europa countries are fundamentally vulnerable in front of the Ming Dynasty."

"As long as Daming is willing to protect the safety of France, then our safety will not be concerned at all."

"We just need to continue to learn the system of the Ming Dynasty and continue to develop and build our own technology and industry."

"We, under His Majesty the King's leadership, have always done so......

"Establishing friendly and cooperative relations with the Ming Dynasty is the most correct choice for France to make diplomatically.

"The friendship between His Majesty the King and His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is the foundation of all this......"
