Chapter 826: Military Parade Plan (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Minister of War and Chief of the General Staff von ? Field Marshal Falkenhein was somewhat unhappy with the expansion of the Marine Corps. There will always be some contradictions between the services. Although, even after the expansion of the Marine Corps, it is far from being comparable to the Army. After all, the Army now has 12 legions.

But, von? Although Marshal Falkenhein was wary of the expansion of the Marine Corps, he also had to admit that the performance of the Marine Corps during the landing operation was indeed very good. If it weren't for the Marines, the German Army would have paid a great price in the battle that had just landed in Britain.

Still, von? Falkenhain had also made up his mind that he would only allow the Marine Corps to expand to ten divisions. If the Marines wanted to expand their forces further, he would not agree to anything.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this war is over. The empire also got its wish and became the hegemon of the world. In recognition of the heroic fighting of the officers and men, and to demonstrate the great strength of the Empire, I decided to hold a grand military parade in Berlin. Let the whole world see the great military power of Germany and make them afraid of the German Reich! It also allows the people of the German Empire to see with their own eyes how powerful their empire is! Qin Tian said.

"A military parade?" The military and political ministers all looked at each other. They all knew what the military parade was all about, but if it was done according to Qin Tian's requirements, the scale would be too big. Again, that's a lot of money.

The head of the empire, Bilo, opened his mouth to persuade him. However, seeing Qin Tian's excited expression, he had to swallow back the words that had already reached his lips.

Now that the empire has won this war, it is entirely appropriate to show its strong military power.

"Well, Your Majesty, the Cabinet is in favor of a military parade. You can invite all the envoys of other countries to the Empire, or you can invite the heads of state of other countries to attend. The empire has now replaced Britain as the world hegemon, and let them see the strength of the empire, which is also very helpful for consolidating the hegemony of the empire! Qin Tian said.

"Well, let's do it! Führer Falkenhein, the parade will be in your charge. Be sure to let other countries see the strength of the empire! Qin Tian said excitedly.

The current German Empire is the most powerful country in the world. The military is strong enough to crush any other country. By taking advantage of the big victory, if he didn't take this opportunity to hold a military parade, Qin Tian felt sorry for himself. Of course, Qin Tian also missed the military parade in another time and space very much in his heart. The majestic and upright heroic posture and the vigorous and neat pace made his blood boil.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Feng? Field Marshal Falkenhein nodded. Naturally, he was fully in favor of holding a military parade to demonstrate the Empire's armed forces.

"Your Majesty, if you want to go to the parade, only the army and army aviation can participate, and there is nothing to do without our navy! I strongly demand that a parade be held in Wilhelmshaven. Let other countries know that the Imperial Navy is also the best in the world! "Field Marshal Tirpitz, the Minister of the Admiralty, jumped out.

Since it is a military parade, this kind of thing that everyone is in the limelight can't be cheapened by the army alone, and the navy should also take care of it!

Qin Tian thought about it, it was indeed the case. Whether it is the Imperial Army or the Navy, they are the first in the world, and they are all important military guarantees for maintaining the imperial world hegemony. Naturally, the navy cannot afford to hold a military parade for the army, and it has to be a bowl of water to be level.

"Well, after the military parade in Berlin, there will be a parade in Wilhelmshaven!" Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Field Marshal Tirpitz replied excitedly, he made up his mind, this time he must prepare well for the parade, so that other countries can be in awe of the powerful German Navy.

The time for the parade is set for the following month, December 18. Two days later, on December 20, a parade took place in Wilhelmshaven.

Once things were settled, the Imperial Army and Navy began to get busy. Each army group of the army needs to send troops to participate in the parade, and there are also long rehearsals.

Although the navy's parade is simpler, it will take a lot of time for the warships scattered around the world to return to the German mainland. What's more, some of the German Navy's secret weapons, such as aircraft carriers, will not appear in this parade.

The German Foreign Office, for its part, sent invitations to other countries, asking their monarchs and heads of state to participate in the parade in Germany.

Germany is now the world hegemon, and almost none of the other countries that have received the invitation have refused Germany's invitation. People were sent to participate in this military parade. Because it will be held in a month, countries that are a little farther away will leave as soon as they receive the invitation.

For example, in the island country, the German military parade was attended by Crown Prince Hirohito and Foreign Minister Takaaki Kato. The emperor of the island country has a problem with his brain, and if he is asked to represent the island country in this military parade in Germany, they are still afraid that there will be chaos, and if any diplomatic disputes arise because of this, then the matter will be in trouble. Although Crown Prince Hirohito is only 14 years old, he is old and smart, and there is no problem at all in representing the royal family of the island country.

U.S. President Woodrow? Wilson will not participate in the parade and will let Secretary of State Brian do it for him. After all, the United States will undoubtedly be Germany's main competitor in the next stage. Although the two sides did not tear their faces openly, everyone knew what was going on, so naturally there was nothing to be polite about.

Austria-Hungary, as an ally of Germany, was still represented by Crown Prince Karl on behalf of Austria-Hungary. After all, Austrian Franz? Joseph I, there was not much left to live. The current state affairs are basically in charge of Crown Prince Karl. Of course, Crown Prince Karl, although he had not yet ascended the throne, had gradually grasped the power of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. However, his attitude towards Germany did not change much because of this, but on the contrary, it became a little worse.

The Burussians were also invited, although they were treated with worldwide hostility. But the relationship with Germany, a neighbor, is quite good. Comrade Joseph will attend the parade as Ulyanov's special envoy and hold secret talks with Kaiser Qin Tian.

As for the other small countries, almost all heads of state attended. Now that Germany is the world hegemon, of course they need to hug Germany's thick thighs!
