November 11, 1868.

The royal family held a cadet review ceremony on the outskirts of Heixingen.

After passing the examination and streamlining, the total number of students is only more than 3,300 people, but this is the first batch of relatively high-quality students since the establishment of the Heixinggen Military Academy, so they have high quality, obey commands, and look quite a soldier's demeanor.

Morning.

It's past six o'clock.

The construction of the review stand was set up, which was reserved for the royal family of Heixingen, where Prince Konstantin and Ernst sitted.

Viewing platforms were set up on both sides of the review stand for the teachers of the academy and the gentry officials of the Heixingen area to watch the ceremony.

At eight o'clock, the students of the Heixingen Military Academy began to assemble and enter the review area.

"Today, everyone listens, this review is not the same as in the school in the past, but it is really aimed at the public and the officials and gentry in and around Heixinggen, so you can't make a mistake.

If you lose face not only yourself because of the stupidity of someone or some people, but also the face of the Heixingen Military Academy, the face of the Heixingen region, and the face of His Royal Highnesses the Prince and Prince.

Therefore, not the slightest mistake is allowed, and if you are ugly in front of the guests, my whip will greet you well, do you hear? ”

"Report to the instructor, I heard you." The trainees responded in a serious and loud voice, each with a resolute and solemn expression on their faces.

Today, all the students of the Heixingen Military Academy wear the uniforms of the Heixingen army, which is a one-to-one replica of the costumes of the army under the leadership of the original Heixingen royal family.

This was the first large-scale semi-militarized force formed by the Heishingen royal family since its annexation to Prussia.

It was as if Heixingen had returned to the state of one of the more than 30 states in Germany back then, and the Heixingen army, which was small in size but one of the military forces in the German region, was back.

Of course, everyone knew that Heixingen could not go back, and among those who attended the ceremony were officials from the Hohenzollern province of the Kingdom of Prussia, including the military governor sent by the local Prussian government in Heixingen.

The Heshingen royal family only had many privileges and a great deal of autonomy, and the Heixingen region was actually ruled by the Prussian government.

Heixingen Military Academy is registered as an educational institution, which naturally cannot be compared with the army, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is the army, and it is the private army of the Heixingen royal family.

At nine o'clock, the royal family of Hahingen arrived late, and Prince Constantine and Ernst arrived in a carriage from Hohenzollern Castle in the south.

At this time, many people have already come, including the townspeople of Heixingen, who have not seen the Heixingen royal family hold a military parade for many years, and today they naturally want to join in the fun, including many veterans who fought with the old earl and prince back then.

Prince Konstantin specially invited them to the vicinity of the viewing platform, and the army of the Prince of Heixingen was gone, but the fact that these former veterans went to the soup for the royal family of Heixingen could not be erased.

At 9:20 a.m., Prince Konstantin gave the first speech.

"Hehingen is a region with a long history and the birthplace of the Hohenzollern family, which is closely linked to the people of the Hehingen region.

The Heixingen Military Academy aims to inherit and carry forward the fine traditions and virtues of the Heixingen region......"

Prince Constantine, as the speaker of the Heshingen region, was finished, and the headmaster, Ernst, appeared, and Ernst stood on the reviewing stand and began to speak.

"The Hexingen Military Academy, as a military academy, shoulders the important task of cultivating professional military talents, and it is not only a good place for all aspiring young people in the Hexingen region, but also in the entire German region.

Learn professional knowledge here, cultivate heroic and fearless spirit, understand the honor of soldiers, and be the pillar of the future society.

……

When the school was established, I adhered to the idea of cultivating the Hexingen Military Academy into an important military academy in the German region in the future, but due to the constraints of conditions and time, and at the same time (East African) society was in great need of a large number of talents, the Heixingen Military Academy became the main one quickly, but this rapid development also squeezed the potential of the students.

In the future, the Heixingen Military Academy will move from the past stage of seeking quantity and speed to the stage of seeking quality and refinement.

Every student will receive better educational resources, so the students of the Hexingen Military Academy should be more strict with themselves, strive to improve their own level, and strive for Germany in the future. ”

After Ernst's speech, the review was officially announced.

Under the guidance of instructors and student cadres, the military band first played a Prussian national anthem, purely musical, which was shown to Prussian government officials.

At the same time as this music sounded, the students of the Hexingen Military Academy began to prepare.

Then the military band began to play, the school song of the Heixingen Military Academy, and the melody prelude sounded.

The instructors led the team into the field, and the students of the Heixingen Military Academy were divided into eleven teams and marched at a uniform pace on the temporary field to be reviewed.

"The glory of Germany bathes in black roots,

Trained hard at the military academy,

Strive to be a good son of the times,

Defend Germany, defend the homeland.

……”

Students of the Heshingen Military Academy sang the school song of the Hexingen Military Academy to the music of the military band.

This school song, which Ernst invited some of the more well-known musicians in the music capital of Vienna, sounded melodic and melodious, solid in tone and with regular beats.

Under the guidance of the military flag, he walked forward with Prussia and a Delese rifle on his shoulder, and passed in front of the review stand with great momentum.

The guests on the viewing platform looked at the young team in front of them and applauded, not to mention the technical level, this mental state is very good.

The Prussian military governor of the Hehingen region was invited and said to the surrounding guests: "Their training level is much higher than that of the ordinary Prussian army before the reform, but there are still some flaws, and the technical aspects such as lining up and following orders are estimated to be similar to the current Prussian ordinary army, but they are all young and have a more promising future." ”

In fact, he didn't think like this in his heart, an army that had not received the baptism of war, of course, did not know how many catties and taels it had.

The Heixingen Military Academy is currently on the right track, and it can be seen in terms of organizational ability, but the enemy will not give you such a relaxed environment in the battlefield environment.

Therefore, the Prussian military governor in Hexingen could not determine the combat effectiveness of the Hexingen Military Academy, and wrote in his report to the government: "Looking at the appearance of the army, they are all immature students, and they lack war experience, and the level of combat effectiveness must not be comparable to that of the kingdom's army. ”

If Ernst had known that the military official had written this, he would have been unimpressed, and the road to the Heshingen Military Academy had just begun.

Today's military parade is only a prelude to the reform of the Heixingen Military Academy, and after the construction of the professional teaching team and facilities is completed, it will be the beginning of the Heixingen Military Academy.

Whether the students of the Heixingen Military Academy are mules or horses will be known in two years.
