Chapter six hundred and seventy-six head held high into 1917
:.
Acute gastroenteritis, after a few days of water, recovered
The soldiers who were majestic in the parade walked slowly from a distance in a neat rhythm and walked in the same queue like a torrent.
"Clang"
"Clang"
The sound of military boots stomping on the ground is so neat and so touching
The foreign diplomats, military officers, celebrities and journalists on the viewing platform were stunned. If these things were seen in a powerful army like Germany or France, they might only sigh that France and Germany are worthy of being the world's top army powers, but this high degree of discipline and magnificence appeared in the Far East. A country that was not regarded as a colony and sphere of influence a few years ago was slaughtered by the great powers. It would be not as simple as surprise. Apart from shock, perhaps there were only fears and concerns.
At this time, the two countries were still in the most ordinary military parade, and the Chinese actually had such a systematic set of standards, and they were also very successful. Undoubtedly, they passed a grand performance in the military parade in Germany and France. After today, there will definitely be fewer voices questioning China's rise.
Yes, no one will ever doubt that a country with such a highly disciplined army will not be able to defeat Russia
"Come here, the 5th Infantry Brigade of the 2nd Division of the National Defense Army of the People's Republic of my country. This organization was born in November 1911. It is the infantry organization with the strongest combat effectiveness and strongest fighting will in our country. In the just-passed Sino-Russian War, the warriors of the 5th Infantry Brigade have been charging at the forefront, making great contributions to the motherland's recovery of the territory occupied by evil neighbors and making great contributions to their great contributions. They are truly worthy of being the flesh and blood Great Wall of China..."
During the broadcast, the commentator's sonorous and powerful commentator finally explained to people what kind of troops this is. They have sharp eyes and virtuous movements. With the commentator's commentator, the square formation finally stepped across the red celebration line.
"Look to the right..., salute"
As the leader of the phalanx shouted the orders, the soldiers of the 5th Infantry Brigade looked to the right in unison, then saluted and shouted loudly: "Use my body to recast the Great Wall."
Cheers, hundreds of thousands of people in the Republic Square made a huge cheer together. Many people standing at the back did not even see what was happening in the square in front, but only relying on the neat steps emitted from the radio, the murderous command was already full of passion.
The audience members in front of the audience and the representatives of Chinese and overseas at home and abroad on the audience were all full of tears. Among the people who were invited to this group were either domestic education or actively purchase government bonds and support national construction. They were either domestic and overseas Chinese who had been rooted in the Southeast Asian and American regions for many years. In the first few years of the establishment of the Republic of China, they donated their money back to their country. Some of them had paid their lifelong savings for this country. They have now been invited by the Republic of China to participate in the military parade. Looking back on the earth-shaking changes that have occurred in the Republic of China over the past few years, and thinking about the Qing Dynasty in the past, many people were excited to shed tears.
They are truly proud of the strength of their motherland and proud of their country.
"This is the real strong team, this is the powerful army that can protect my descendants of China." On the viewing platform, Zhang Zhenxun, a large industrialist from Nanyang, looked at the indomitable momentum of the army on the parade avenue below, and was excited and burst into tears. As the richest Chinese family in Nanyang, Zhang Zhenxun has successively purchased domestic national debts of millions of dollars in the past few years. He set an example and invested millions of dollars in China, expanded Changyu Brewing Company, and invested in other cotton textiles and flour factories to build 47 schools in Guangdong, Gansu, Sichuan and other places.
At this time, the old man was already weak and tight. He was over 70 years old and almost killed his life when he was seriously ill on the first day of the New Year. Although he had saved the medical treatment that has obviously improved a lot in China, he also fell into the root of the disease. Now he is so weak that he has no one to support him. He can't even stand firmly while standing.
After the 5th Brigade, the 95th Infantry Brigade of the 33rd Division
"What is coming towards us is the 95th Infantry Brigade of the 33rd Division of the China Defense Forces. This unit has strong combat effectiveness and tenacious style. It once fought fiercely with the enemy for half a month in the battle in Shandong, laying a solid foundation for the general offensive plan of our country's Defense Forces."
"Look to the right..., salute"
"I will never retreat if I fight to the death."
What surprised everyone was that this army that had participated in the Sino-Japanese Shandong conflict was not drawn back from the front line and joined the parade ranks openly. Moreover, the position was still second only to the 5th Brigade, which was reported to have participated in the Sino-Russian War. Is this the meaning behind this?
Anyway, all the diplomats looked at the Japanese on the viewing platform, from Japanese ministers to military officers stationed in China, watching the organization of this fast-moving army passing by, military hated them so much that they gritted their teeth.
Although the casualties of the Chinese people in the Sino-Japanese and Shandong conflict were far above Japan, the two most elite A-level divisions in Japan, were completely wiped out in China. Every Japanese still remembers this shame.
The performance of China and Japan also made many diplomats relieved. This is also the goal that Li Han wanted to achieve. He wanted to use this clever arrangement to explain to the outside world one thing: Russia is China's main enemy, and Japan is closely behind. Two Asian countries in China and Japan were unable to become friends before. Now everyone has formed a bloody feud, and it cannot be cleaned up in one day or two.
As for offending the Japanese, Li Han laughed. The Japanese had just annexed the East Indies colony of the Netherlands. There were tens of thousands of islands in the East Indies. There were many strategic places that needed to be stationed in the East Indies. There were three most powerful countries around the world. They had to deal with the restlessness of the indigenous people and local forces. If you want to digest this place for a preliminary period, it would be impossible for no more than three or five years. Now, neither China nor Japan have the ability to fight a national war with the other side. This provocation was just a means of his pervasiveness in order to wait for the shocking scene that occurred at the military parade. It was just a means of threatening Japan to not dare to provoke China in a short period of time.
After more than a dozen infantry phalanxes passed, followed closely by an infantry phalanx that was far less neat than those before. Some of them even had crutches, some had only one arm, and some even sat in wheelchairs, but none of them laughed at them, because at this time, everyone knew that they were a group of veterans who came down from the battlefield, and they made great sacrifices for the war. Once, their comrades might have died on the battlefield, and they were witnesses of the tragic victory.
Some of them even held photos, and the most veteran was holding seven or eight photos in his hand, crying in order to let the comrades who left early, see, and the nation they fought for and sacrificed for, also have the strength of today
"Friends, what we are coming to us now is the formation of veterans. Many of them are disabled because of war, but the motherland will not forget them, and the nation will not forget them. It is because of their blood, their sacrifices and dedication that we have ushered in the victory of the Xinhai Revolution. It is their silent efforts that we can enjoy the happy life now. Let us pay tribute to the veterans and the warriors with the highest respect..."
Everyone, Li Han on the rostrum, stood at the stadium of veterans coming from afar and saluted the most upright military salute. The government and military generals followed and paid tribute to him. Even some foreign military officers on the rostrum, including the Japanese, all saluted him. This nation admired the strongest. They once built monuments for the Russian army who died in Lushun. Compared with the country that completely rose before World War II, now at least they can still stop their ambitions.
Everyone, from the rostrum to the viewing tables on both sides, to the hundreds of thousands of people below, saluted to the veterans, saluted to those who had one heart for the revolution and the rise of China.
Then came the cavalry phalanx. The army's parade phalanx was soon finished, but the shock brought to the people of the entire Republic Square was still unstoppable. On the viewing platform, some foreign diplomats looked at the infantry and cavalry phalanx that had passed. Even some cautious diplomats began to whisper to the military officers of their embassy, analyzing how powerful the ** team has now.
It is not surprising that China, which has been in the early 20th century, has given up world leadership for hundreds of years. After experiencing the defeat of the past half century, in the eyes of white Europeans, this is just a barbaric, ignorant, and backward country. In the years after the revolution, China has made great achievements on the battlefield and achieved a lot of victories and developments, all under the intention of Li Han, half-hidden
So much so far, most of the forces in China know that China has achieved some victory but how to win, and have used some strength. China's current military industry, heavy industry development, etc., what they know is what the government is willing to reveal to them. It is far from enough to analyze a country that is beginning to rise.
"The heavy artillery arrays that are coming to us now come from the East China Military Region, the Central Garage Corps and the Mongolian Military Region. The large-caliber heavy artillery equipped with, whether it is 105mm heavy artillery or 155mm heavy artillery, are all produced by our Hanyang Arsenal and Sichuan Arsenal. Since the 18th century, artillery, as the god of war, has always been the strongest weapon of land warfare. China, as the inventor of gunpowder, has been neglected in the past few hundred years. As a result, in artillery making and smelting, has lagged behind the world for at least 40 years. The painful history tells us that if we fall behind, we will be beaten. Fortunately, the revolution overthrew the corrupt rule of the Qing Dynasty. After the establishment of the Republic of China, our country's military industry development has developed very rapidly with the help of some friendly countries. At present, we can independently produce 105mm caliber and 155mm caliber standard large-caliber heavy artillery, any land fortress with the standard 105mm caliber and 155mm caliber standard, and our heavy firepower can destroy it."
Accompanied by the commentator's passionate voice, thunderous applause sounded in Republic Square, and it didn't stop for a long time
There was a lot of discussion on the viewing platform where the foreigners were on both sides of the rostrum. They all brought their own translations. Therefore, they heard the commentary of the previous commentator very clearly, but the more they heard it clearly, the more suspicious they were.
This large-caliber heavy artillery is unusual. It is the most favorable evidence to measure a country's military industry. You must know that in this world, the countries that can master the manufacturing of large-caliber heavy artillery, Europe, Asia and the United States, there are only about ten countries. Almost all of them are the world's top industrial powers. China is definitely not among them. You must know that just three years ago, China could not even make a 75mm caliber field gun.
In fact, these foreign diplomats guessed half of the time. Indeed, although China has begun to try to develop 105mm and 155mm caliber heavy artillery, its monthly output is only a dozen. It does not have the ability to produce large-scale. It is also thanks to the US's Phae German Movement. A large number of American German technicians, professors and even military industry experts lost their jobs. As a result, with China's efforts, countless thousands of German military industry experts and senior technicians were recruited to China, enriching China's military industry foundation.
Although China can only produce heavy artillery with a caliber of 2730 times, it is 45 times the size of the large scale, and 60 times the caliber will not be expected in a short period of time, because the industrial foundation is weak, and the second is that it does not have design experience in this area, but it has China's huge population base and potential. It is now enough.
The entire artillery array consists of 134 tow trucks, all imported American general truck artillerymen stood neatly in the tractor carriages and saluted to the rostrum.
China is a little worse than the United States in terms of car manufacturing technology. Where is the weak industrial foundation of the country? In addition, China and Ford and GM are still in negotiations to build factories in China. In a short period of time, China cannot form the scale of producing cars. China now has little demand for cars. In addition, several large oil fields in China that have barely reached the strategic level have been suppressed by him and have not been developed. With more and more railways being built, cars are still just a small number of toys for wealthy and foreigners. The government has only purchased a batch of foreign vehicles in the past few years. Now most of the trucks purchased from the outside are used to supply the military.
After the heavy artillery phalanx passed, the last two charlanxes were the last two charlanxes. In order to maximize the demonstration of China's land combat effectiveness to the foreigners and the people, they also responded to some criticisms of the domestic criticism of the heavy army and light the navy. This time, he pulled back all the two charlanxes that had been built in China, and selected 112 best-maintained charlanes to join the parade. 112 charlanes were 4 in a row, and a total of 28 local arrays were arranged slowly through the rostrum.
Early chariot technology is very imperfect, and there are many problems with crawler chariots. When Li Han watched, he was always holding his heart, for fear of accidents. Although it would not embarrass the military, it also affected the gorgeousness and mightyness of the military parade. Thank God, all the chariots passed through the rostrum safely in the blue smoke.
"My chariot technology comes from a friendly country in Europe. With the help of friendly countries, my country has formed Asia's first mechanized unit from scratch. The two types of chariots equipped have undergone the war of protecting the country, the battle in Shandong, and the Sino-Russia conflict, and the combat effectiveness has been formed, not less than similar chariots of the European Army."
The commentator explained vaguely, but it did not prevent the chariot formation from bringing impact to people. Whether it is the domestic people, Chinese and overseas Chinese, or even foreigners, they all found it incredible.
I saw the entire chariot formation driving at a large distance, and a square formation advanced and produced a huge vibration. When it was running on the asphalt parade avenue, the rumbling sound came and made people chill.
No matter how far or near it, it seems that the people in the entire square felt the shock of the iron beast.
In order to highlight the heroism of the chariot brigade on the scale, before the parade, Li Han did not agree to the hope of some of the bullet holes and dents hit by the damaged chariots. He only strengthened the maintenance of the tracks and internal machinery. After confirming that there was no problem, he let them directly participate in the parade with glorious "scars" with glorious "scars"
Nothing can tell the tragic war and the bravery of the chariot brigade as the "scars" on their bodies. When the steel monsters in these rows slowly passed through the Parade Avenue and passed the Republic Square, for a moment, the entire Republic Square was shaken.
"Damn Germans, how much did they leave this country?"
A British diplomat glared at the slowly passing chariot in the square and kept scolding
Not far away, a senior French military officer was remembering something quickly and muttering in a low voice: "In terms of army chariot technology, France is a little slower than the Germans. The gap is quite large. Although we have captured some German chariots from the chariots, it is not enough to divide the alliance into research. It seems that it is necessary to notify the minister and ask the country for advice. If the Far East country really has complete German technology with the support of the Germans, then no matter how much the price it costs, we must get some chariots as soon as possible to study, or even import them directly."
"Is this the Chinese chariot?" a US official looked at it with interest. "It looks very strong. I mean, it should be much more mature than the British Rangers. If the country has several times more chariots..."
"Baga Wild Deer"
A Japanese military officer kept scolding, "What are the wild deer in the empire doing? Didn't it be said in the past that the Chinese could not produce their own tanks, they were all purchased from independent countries? How many times more... How many times more on land can we win?"
...
Amid the discussion and shocking voice, the last chariot array also passed as if he had received some instructions. There was no sound in the square. The brief silence made hundreds of thousands of people confused, but it did not make them wait for long. Soon, dense sounds of plane engines came from the entire square.
Hundreds of thousands of people looked up and saw that the entire northwest sky was covered with planes. A huge fleet of aircraft composed of at least hundreds of aircraft was flying towards the sky above Republic Square.
"The people who are about to fly over Republic Square for inspection are all members of the First Regiment of the First Regiment of the First Army Aviation Brigade. They are composed of three types: fighter plane array, bomber plane array, reconnaissance plane array, etc...."
The plane circled over the square for a while and then flew toward the southwest direction
Soon, the transportation airship consisting of thirty large Zeppelin airships also slowly sailed from the air.
When the transport airship fleet flew over, with the roar of salutes, three large-scale aircraft groups flew from northwest, southeast and northeast, and people flying over the ground from the sky above Republic Square in turn looked up and looked up. It was estimated that there were at least four hundred aircraft.
"Oh God"
Everyone saw this shocking and unforgettable scene. The dense crowd of birds in the air made people feel another kind of strength that China has.
The Sky Overlord of the Far East
In an instant, almost everyone had this word in their minds
Yes, the sky overlord of the Far East
Perhaps not as large fighter fleets as the warring Allies and allies, with a total of over 10,000, but in the Far East, in this place where they seemed very backward and barbaric, a country that had just experienced the revolution and had just emerged from the backward and barbaric, actually had a sky guard camp that was no smaller than the European powers. This... the order of Asia may really be rewritten.
Almost in an instant, all the diplomats from the great power countries who were invited came to such a conclusion in their minds.
Yes, although the Chinese navy is weak, the army is too strong. With the cooperation of this large-scale strong air force, unless warships from Britain, Japan and other countries can land, they will face the Chinese Defense Army, which will charge to two million, three million or even four million. This army is also equipped with the best land combat vehicles and a large number of machine guns and heavy artillery.
In an instant, everyone understood what Li Han wanted to express
Gone are the times when Western powers put a few cannons on China's coast
"In Asia, since Japan, another powerful country has risen by stepping on the bodies of Russia, that is China."
Li Han murmured to himself, his Secretary of State Sun Baoqi came forward to him and wanted to urge him to come forward to give a speech, so as not to be impatient for those foreigners to wait. Suddenly, when he heard this sentence, Sun Baoqi was slightly stunned and stood up straight with his waist.
"Yes, we won, it's time to stand up"
