PS: Embarrassment, I made a low-level mistake, there are chapters in front of me that are duplicated, and there are two 567 chapters, so this chapter should be 579.

Keep asking for tickets......

October 1, Republic 2781 (1940), 9 a.m., Hanking.

As the number one industrial country on the planet, the status of the earth's hegemon may still be somewhat controversial, but the status of the eastern hegemon is already recognized. Who dares not to give face to such an invitation? International respect is based on strength, and when a top-level power like this issues an invitation, no matter whether the relationship is good or not, it must be represented by a heavyweight.

Needless to say, the member states of the UPC are the People's Republic of Japan, the Turkish People's Republic, the Russian Empire, the People's Republic of Afghanistan, the Arab Socialist Republic, the Persian Socialist Republic, the Republic of Siam, the Democratic Republic of Nepal, the Socialist Federal Republic of Main, the Kurdistan Republic, the Republic of Armenia, the Republic of Chile, The Republic of Paraguay, the Erathia Empire, which had only joined the People's Revolutionary Union last month, and a total of 14 member states, all of them came, and all of them were heads of state.

Other member states of the "Shanghai Economic Cooperation Organization," which are regarded as the periphery of the UPF, have also arrived, not to mention the three independent countries of the Republic of Colombia, the Argentine Republic, and the Third Spanish Republic, and even the large and semi-independent autonomous states of the South Asian subcontinent, such as the Pakistan Autonomous State, the Jewish Autonomous State, and the Bangladesh Autonomous State. That's right, now they are theoretically still subject countries of the British Commonwealth, but the British Empire is already in decline, and the soaring dragon of the East is next door, dare not give face? If something happens, such as another uprising in the country, who should cry to?

Now that the European war is raging, the opium cows themselves can't take care of it, so where is the time to take care of these little brothers in the East? Even if there is no European war, I'm afraid it won't work. I didn't see this "War of the Erathia Succession", the Entente and the Central Powers both ate a big turtle, and they were all hung and beaten by China. In the end, not only did they obediently admit China's expansion in Africa, making Erathia a satellite of China, but they were also forced to spit out Somalia and half of Kenya, which they were fighting for.

Whoever is strong and who is weak, everyone who is not blind can see it. In this case, a fool would hang himself from a tree in England, and how good it would be to hurry up and hug China's thigh. No way, it's too far from heaven, too close to China, that's it.

This time, all the countries on the earth sent more or less sufficient representatives to participate, and even Sweden and Norway, which were about to die in the dire straits, also asked their ambassadors to China to come to cheer on them.

At half past eight o'clock, Wen Desi and other central leaders and guests from various countries climbed the Zhonghua Gate Tower, including government representatives from more than 40 sovereign countries and more than 20 autonomous states and other semi-independent regions around the world, as well as representatives of dozens of political parties and international organizations. Fortunately, the review stand of the Zhonghua Gate Tower has been expanded in recent years, otherwise so many and such high-standard foreign guests may not be able to stand.

At 9 a.m. Hanjing time, the celebration officially began. A 30-gun salute of 108 guns was fired in unison to mark the 30th birthday of the People's Republic of China. The salute was followed by a flag-raising ceremony. After Wen Desi took the Hongqi open-top car out of Zhonghua Gate and crossed the Jinxing Bridge, the defense minister who served as the commander-in-chief of the parade, General Cai Yi, reported to him, and the military parade began, and Wen Desi took the car to inspect the teams of all parties in turn.

Then there is the most interesting segmentation. This military parade is the ninth National Day military parade since the founding of New China, and it is also the "10th National Day parade" and the largest and most advanced equipment ever since. The parade consisted of a phalanx on foot, on horseback, on equipment, and in an air formation. The number of foot phalanx has been reduced to eight, the horse phalanx has been reduced to two, and the equipment phalanx has been an unprecedented 60! This also shows that the Chinese People's Liberation Army is once again leading the world in the development of mechanization.

The first to appear is the foot phalanx, which is composed of the three traditional branches of the army, navy and air force, as well as the newly formed rocket force, the armed police, the national guard and major military academies. They are all equipped with 1915 semi-automatic rifles, this kind of rifle is no longer equipped with front-line troops after China is fully reequipped, but its shape is very beautiful, and it can also be loaded with bayonets and play mighty splitting guns, so the honor guard still continues to be retained. This is like the ancient Chinese golden gourd, axe and other things, gradually evolved from formal weapons to honor props. They passed from east to west in front of the Tiananmen Square review stand. As they passed the rostrum, they all made a mighty slashing gesture in unison.

Then there are two cavalry phalanxes, and the scale of China's cavalry is now very small, and there are only three cavalry regiments in the army, and there are more than 20 cavalry brigades in the armed police, and there are more than a dozen brigades in the National Guard. The two horseback phalanxes have also been completely aligned with the guard of honor. However, their guns were replaced with the Type 2781 assault rifles, which are currently the main armament.

The Type 2781 assault rifle was a large-scale refurbishment that began last year before mass production began, and this year it was fully equipped with a new gun for the troops, referred to as the Type 81 assault rifle. In fact, according to the convention, the year code of the weapon should be the year when it was finalized, so the name of this rifle should be "Type 2778", but because of the intervention of Wen Dehei, it had to be named after the year of official equipment.

Of course, Mr. Wen is not idle and has nothing to do, the main reason is that the blueprint of this rifle is the "Bayi bar" in the history of the original time and space, which is the last classic equipment suitable for the world war, although its performance is not the best, but it is particularly easy to produce, particularly strong and durable, and the adaptability is even more against the sky, from the North Pole to the equator can be used easily and happily, and most importantly, under the premise of ensuring these necessary performances, its price is also very cheap, it can be called a crossing artifact. For a superpower like China, which can mobilize tens of millions of troops when necessary, such a thing is the best thing, and it is a bastard not to use it.

Of course, this rifle is not a complete copy of the original space-time of the same name, it has still undergone certain optimizations and magic changes, such as accuracy, reliability, and adaptability have been greatly improved compared to the original. And the biggest difference is the caliber, the Type 81 of the original plane has been replaced with a 6 mm caliber, using a 6X42 mm small-caliber intermediate power bullet, well, that is, it is similar to the original space-time Type 95 bullet (the actual size of the 5.8 mm bullet of the Type 95 is also 6 mm).

This is in order to get it done in one step, with the increase in mechanization and infantry firepower, small-caliber is already a trend, since this is the case, Wen Desi only intends to engage in one kind of ammunition, so as not to exchange for trouble. Because this kind of bullet is estimated to be a lot of production, if a new gun comes out in the future, it will be a waste to change the bullet.

Their new guns have also aroused a lot of interest, but it is only interest, because in recent years, China has launched dozens or hundreds of new guns, which are sold in the international market. Bayi style is not a secret equipment, and it is also sold all over the world. Many countries have obtained its samples, but after comparing them with those famous guns launched by China before, it is found that the performance of this gun is not very good, and it is even inferior to the "Bird of Paradise" (G3 of the original space), "Viper" (HK416 of the original space), "Centaur" (Austrian AUG of the original space) and so on.

Yes, these guns are all famous guns from later generations, and China has made all of these famous guns out without pulling them all, that is to say, Wen Desi has made it clear that he will get all the classics of the next few decades, which is called taking other people's paths and leaving others with no way out. However, these guns are all used to collect money, mainly for export and supply to the domestic private market, but the army has been slow to move, and has been using the 15-type semi-automatic that was installed before the First World War.

Really speaking, China is indeed a bit outdated in terms of the time to replace assault rifles, and it can't even rank in the top ten. And in the end, the choice is also this 81-type "Jidu Star" whose performance is not outstanding.

That's not to say that these guns are bad, it's just a matter of adaptability. For those countries with small armies, these weapons are of course a good choice, and for their little army, once they change their outfit, they have an immediate effect.

The smaller countries were often quicker to respond to China's new rifles, and they began to re-equip them on a large scale from 1937 onwards, leaving China's military-industrial complex to count the money. The fastest refitting is the small country of Switzerland, they fully changed their assault rifles in 1937, and they chose the "Centaur" 6mm assault rifle of the Yangtze River Industry, which is the SG550 assault rifle of Switzerland itself. Then there is Sweden, they chose the FNC that they chose in the afterlife of the original space, of course, on this plane, this gun is called "Zebra", which is the work of Anhui Huangshan Machinery Industry Company.

It is precisely because they are equipped with various weapons dumped by China that these small European countries have become more emboldened. For example, Switzerland successfully turned itself into a hedgehog, which made the Entente and the Central Powers a little jealous of it, and after thinking about it, they felt that it could not be beaten, so that it could not be defeated, so that it could avoid a military disaster. And Sweden relied on a large number of Chinese weapons to make the invading Soviet Union a mess, so that the Soviet Union, a big hooligan, tried his best to overthrow Sweden until now. These assault rifles with excellent performance also play a very important role in this.

But for the top powers, especially countries with a large number of armies like China, the requirements for weapons are completely different, and the cost performance of weapons is the most important, and performance has been placed in the second place. Of course, this large number of equipment only refers to the largest base of the army units and marines, and the airborne troops and special forces because of the different combat needs, they choose the weapon is the Gansu Northwest Industrial Group "Uranus" assault rifle (the second generation of the original time and space SCAR), this gun has many accessories, but also modular, very important for special operations. The official designation of "Uranus" in the army is "Type 2778 assault rifle".

In this era the cavalry has withdrawn from the stage of history, and it was not worth making a fuss about, well, except for those coveted Tianfu horses. At this time, other breeds of war horses were only about 800 pounds, and this kind of horse in the international market has risen to 1,000 to 2,000 pounds a horse, and it is still priceless. But the audience soon discovered that there were some new gadgets in the cavalry phalanx this time.

"Why are the Chinese raising heavy cavalry again?" a Soviet reporter cried out with some surprise.

Another British reporter looked at it for a while and said, "But those vests don't look like metal......"

That's right, the horses of the two cavalry phalanxes were approved with a set of vests, which covered the vital points of the horses tightly, leaving the legs and tails of the horses outside. And the cavalry was similar, they obviously put a layer of armor on their uniforms, and they looked like ancient heavy cavalry. And behind the saddle hung a long, rubber-covered stick.

Of course, the armor of these centaurs will not be metal armor, this is a new type of armor made of polymer synthetic materials, because now the Chinese cavalry is unlikely to be on the front line. Most of their tasks are probably used for law and order operations and internal repression, so they only need to be able to withstand attacks with small arms such as pistols and cold weapons. Of course, this kind of task can be done even without vests, and the biggest use of equipping them with vests is psychological, and the deterrent power of armored heavy cavalry and unarmored light cavalry is completely two levels. In addition, it is natural to reduce the casualties of people and horses, such as when suppressing and dispersing, many horses are used to rush over and hit people, and rush up.

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

After the cavalry phalanx, there is the equipment phalanx that everyone pays the most attention to, and this is the main thing.

First of all, more than 300 motorcycles, off-road vehicles and wheeled carriers of various types of motorized infantry, carrying machine guns, machine guns, howitzers, mortars, recoilless guns and other weapons, were divided into six phalanxes and slowly passed through the square.

Then there were all kinds of towed artillery, all towed by military vehicles, from small to large, from anti-aircraft guns and rocket artillery to cannons and howitzers, forming ten phalanxes.

Then there were the various armored vehicles and infantry fighting vehicles of the mechanized infantry, which rolled out in twelve phalanxes. Then there was the phalanx of vehicles of the Marine Corps and the Airborne Forces, paratrooper fighting vehicles.

The old equipment that everyone was familiar with is now all gone, and these are all new equipment that was changed last year, including off-road motorcycles, which have also been replaced with a very sci-fi style.

"Wow, lynx, clouded leopard, meerkat...... There are also black bears and second-generation mountain lions! It's all the latest things, and they've never been seen before......" Tang Tian and several other military fans all shouted excitedly. They were now on the roof of a residential building near the square, and one of them was looking with a telescope.

There was also an astronomical telescope in front of them, Gan Shijie was fiddling with a camera connected to it, and another young man was picking up a camera with a long lens and shooting violently.

The idea of watching the military parade from the top of the building was not only their mind, but the nearby tall buildings were already full of people. At this time, they were all discussing loudly with excitement.

"Look, the giant panda and the red panda are out!"

The crowd burst into earth-shattering cheers.

"This is the giant panda that has shown its might in the African conflict this time......"

"I heard that they destroyed more than 300 armored fighting vehicles, more than 400 armored vehicles and self-propelled guns in the battle with the East African armored forces, and wounded thousands of them. It is a miracle that only 30 of its own vehicles were destroyed and 67 were damaged. In the conflict with the Allied armies, it was even more overwhelming. ”

The rostrum and the various viewing platforms were boiling, and countless magnesium lights were shining.

"This is the most advanced Panda chariot in the world!" said Lieutenant General Zhukov, who was part of the Soviet delegation, could not help but stand up. His eyes lit up as he watched the steel behemoths roll in.

"Panda! Those German designers really should be sent to the concentration camps, they all eat fodder!" Lieutenant General Guderian from Germany also stood up, his face very gloomy. The crushing defeat at Berkogi in June was a disgrace to the German tanks, but fortunately, with Britain and France on their backs, they lost even more ugly.

Not only them, but these two main combat vehicles that have been in the limelight in Africa attracted the attention of all the audience as soon as they appeared.

And the 118th Panzer Division, the victor of the Battle of Berkoji, was also among the armored units that were reviewed this time. Division commander Wang Yaowu and political commissar Huang Rixuan sat on the two giant pandas of the leader, Lao Wang's face was full of spirit at this time, and the epaulettes on his shoulders had an extra general gold star, relying on this big victory, he and Huang Rixuan were promoted to major generals.

The four vehicles behind them were the four officers who were awarded the Heroes of China, and the four crews they led destroyed a total of 60 tanks, 37 armored vehicles and 24 self-propelled guns.

Behind them was the 32nd Panzer Division, which flew to the Entente, but their luck was not so good, the results were not as exaggerated as the 118th Division, and the results of each car group were not much different, so the limelight was much smaller.

When the Panda drove over, it was self-propelled guns of various specifications. Because of the panda's jewels, they receive much less attention.

“...... The next group of phalanxes to be read is the phalanx of the Rocket Army. The Rocket Force is a completely new branch of the armed forces that was formed only last year, and they are tasked with delivering strategic strikes against the enemy. They are mainly armed with medium- and long-range surface-to-surface missiles ......" the voice of the commentary sounded.

After the self-propelled guns, there was a phalanx of four missile launchers.

The appearance of these guys immediately caused everyone to turn their heads into each other's ears.

"What is a missile? Doesn't it look like a rocket......?"

"Missiles, or guided rockets Chinese abbreviated for ......," said a proficient Chinese.

"I remember that Chinese have been working on rockets since before World War I, and they have also made a lot of rocket artillery over the years, and I didn't expect that rockets have been made so big now......"

Unlike the original space-time, the countries of this plane are no strangers to rockets at this time. During the First World War, countries were using bazookas and rocket artillery. The colonial liberation movements that spread throughout Asia and Africa after World War I made the two weapons famous. So rockets are weapons that are already everywhere at this time.

And the ground-to-surface missile is not an unimaginable thing for a few top powers, all the powers are engaged in it, it is nothing more than the speed of progress and the level of performance. During this period of European war, Britain, France and Germany all used surface-to-surface missiles, of course, they were all relatively primitive and touching. The British Agni, the French Meteor and the German V1 were all held and bombarded with each other.

It's just that a separate branch of the military is set up like this to play rockets, but China has set a precedent. The 32nd Panzer Division of the Covenant Country, but their luck was not so good, the results were not as exaggerated as the 118th Division, and the results of each vehicle group were not much different, so the limelight was much smaller.

When the Panda drove over, it was self-propelled guns of various specifications. Because of the panda's jewels, they receive much less attention.

“...... The next group of phalanxes to be read is the phalanx of the Rocket Army.
