Chapter 837: The Great Military Parade (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

On December 18, 1915, the weather was clear. Although it had just snowed, the temperature was a little low. However, the snow has long been cleared. The square in front of the palace is crowded with people from all over Germany. They all came to see the parade.

On the rostrum, Kaiser Wilhelm II, heads of state and government who went to Germany, envoys of various countries in Germany, senior military and political officials and celebrities of Germany, sat on it.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Admiral Crook, who served as the commander-in-chief of the parade, reported to Qin Tian that the troops under review were ready. Qin Tian nodded, signaling that the parade could officially be.

The first item of the parade was Qin Tian's speech.

Qin Tian did not use the speech drafted by the cabinet, but directly made a speech off the script. He praised the German team and the people for their contributions to the war, thanked the soldiers for their hard work and the dedication of the people, and attributed this victory to them. Qin Tian claimed that if it were not for their dedication, there would have been no German victory.

Qin Tian also said that the German Empire was a peace-loving country. Participating in a war is nothing more than a passive counterattack. In this way, it is natural that people in other countries will be greatly disdainful. If Germany is a peace-loving country, how did they come to have so much territory and overseas colonies? If they had not won the war against other countries, how could other countries have willingly ceded their territories to Germany and transferred their rich overseas colonies to Germany?

Therefore, Qin Tian's general is simply talking nonsense with his eyes open.

However, the German people are buying it! They thought that what His Majesty the Emperor said was really good.

After Qin Tian's speech, the people spontaneously erupted into loud cheers.

"Long live the German Reich! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! The cheers of the people almost resounded in the air. Qin Tian's prestige has been further enhanced.

Next, Qin Tian sat in an open-top car and inspected the troops under review.

The troops were reviewed, including 14 foot phalanxes and other phalanxes.

These soldiers are all elites selected from various units. Their faces were resolute and their eyes were fiery. Full of loyalty to the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor.

"Hello soldiers!"

Qin Tian's voice passed through the megaphone and spread far away.

"Your Majesty!"

"The soldiers have worked hard!"

"Fight for the Empire!"

The whole process is completely according to Qin Tian's intentions. Of course, Qin Tian also referred to the military parades of later generations.

This kind of military parade process made the heads of state of other countries who came to watch the ceremony feel very fresh. Some have even decided that they can do the same when they return home.

Next, it's columnar.

When the majestic phalanx, marching neatly and shouting loud slogans, passed through the rostrum, it brought a great shock to everyone.

Although, military parades are often held in various countries. However, it has never been as grand as this German military parade. Each phalanx was more than 200 officers and soldiers. The pace of all people is the same, which fully demonstrates the discipline of the German people.

Plus these soldiers, almost all of them have been on the battlefield. The murderous aura that came to the face made people dare not look at it directly. There is no one who does not consider this a truly elite force.

12 group armies, each of which drew elites to form a phalanx. In addition, the Marine Corps and the Navy also formed a phalanx. Logistics units also formed a phalanx, a total of 15 phalanxes on foot.

This was followed by a phalanx of cavalry, although the cavalry had gradually declined. But at this stage, all countries are more or less equipped with cavalry. More than 200 skilled cavalrymen rode through the square, and when they passed the rostrum, they raised their sabers in their hands to salute His Majesty the Emperor.

The cavalry phalanx was followed by the artillery phalanx. There are 3 artillery phalanxes, namely 75 mm field gun phalanxes, 105 mm light howitzer phalanxes and 150 mm heavy howitzer phalanxes. All the cannons were towed by trucks. The cannon gave the others a great shock.

"I heard that this is the artillery that one of the infantry divisions of the Germans is equipped with? A full 54 75-mm field guns, 36 105-mm light howitzers and 18 150-mm howitzers! Such artillery strength is really too strong! A military attache who was watching the ceremony said.

Crown Prince Hirohito happened to hear this, and he was even more shocked.

A German infantry division is equipped with so many artillery pieces, compared to a division of the island army, the total strength of which is more than a German infantry division. But the artillery they were equipped with was far inferior to that of the Germans. Not only is the number of artillery seriously inferior, but even the caliber of artillery is far from comparable. This allowed him to fully see the gap.

"After returning to China, we must strengthen the development and construction of the troops' equipment. Otherwise, in the future, a war with the Germans would not be their opponent at all! Crown Prince Hirohito secretly made up his mind.

After the artillery phalanx passed, it was the armored phalanx. There are only two phalanxes of armored troops, one is a phalanx of tanks and the other is a phalanx of armored personnel carriers.

When these steel giants passed through the rostrum at a slow speed, the delegations of various countries watching the ceremony were even more shocked.

The German Army's armored forces were known for their strong fighting effectiveness. Tanks and armored vehicles have become weapons that countries are vying to develop. The tactics of armored forces have also become the key tactics studied by various countries. Everyone knows very well that in future wars, without strong armored troops, it will be impossible to confront the enemy at all.

As the armored corps passed the rostrum, there was a buzzing sound in the sky.

Everyone looked up at the sky and saw 36 F2 fighters flying over the rostrum at a slower speed. This was followed by 18 H1 bombers, also flying over the rostrum at a lower speed.

Everyone witnessed these fighters flying over their heads, and the shock they received did not know what to say.

There was only one thought in everyone's mind, and that was that the Germans were too strong. Not only is there a powerful infantry, but there is also the most powerful armored force. Even the Air Force is the first in the world. In such a situation, who could stand up to Germany?

Of course, there are also many countries that have secretly made up their minds to find a way to catch up with Germany. This, of course, was primarily because they were enemies of Germany. If they don't find a way to develop their own military strength, then what awaits them will probably not come to a good end.
