On March 3, when the first rays of sunlight shone on the land of Baotou, the entire city center of Baotou was under martial law, and the Baotou Internal Security Force, the urban combat brigade established around 1911, took over the urban defense of Baotou City, which was specially established for urban warfare. It has more flexibility and execution than the military.

In the early days of Baotou, the army interfered with civil affairs due to insufficient strength and indetailed division of the army, but with the development of the northwest, Baotou has become a huge modern city with a population of tens of millions.

Under these circumstances, Yang Yuanzhao set up a police force and an armed police force in accordance with the experience of later generations, and on top of the armed police force, he also set up an urban special operations brigade, in order to protect the security of Baotou on the one hand, the handling of some extremist organizations or terrorists, whether it is the police or the armed police force, is somewhat insufficient. On the other hand, it is also for the future.

The northwest is destined to go to war, in the middle, there will be a magnificent plain area of the assault war, tank clusters, or the confrontation of motorized troops, there will also be, the war in the densely populated areas, which is a new thing for any country, with reinforced concrete cities, as protection, to fight tragic street battles, I am afraid the most deadly is the defense of Stalingrad. The casualties on both sides were as high as 2 million, and they were entangled with a large number of troops. With the city as the center, a tug-of-war and offensive and defensive battles began. Eventually, this became a turning point in the Soviet theater during World War II, and Germany went from prosperity to decline and eventually lost the war.

Except for Japan, there are no overly dense cities in Asia, but once the Northwest Army goes out of Asia, whether it is Europe or the Americas, there are dense cities, these cities made of steel and earth. It will become a forest of steel, and if you don't prepare and train in advance, it will become a flesh millstone.

Therefore, on the basis of urban operations, a plan for combat brigades was proposed, with a total of 13,000 combat brigades, whose personal qualities were higher than those of reconnaissance companies and lower than those of special forces, because they were urban operations. Consideration is not so much about survivability in the wilderness, but about the ability to coordinate and command urban operations, and some weapons that are specifically supplied to urban operations, such as shotguns. Man-soldier rocket artillery, high-explosive bombs and directional mines, etc., they are aimed at cities. Exists specifically for urban warfare.

The black military uniform is different from the camouflage uniform of the field troops. After all, in urban combat, camouflage uniforms are useless. Monotonous reinforced concrete, wearing neat and uniform clothes alone has a deterrent effect, black, it has become the preferred color, heavy and atmospheric.

Tens of thousands of uniformly dressed, wearing body armor and bulletproof helmets, put the exercise area of 10.8 kilometers, guarding all the water, the oil paint on their faces, they can't see their appearance, but the vitality in their bones inspires everyone.

The exercise area has been under martial law as early as 12 o'clock last night, all shops, enterprises and institutions, government departments, are on holiday, and the two sides are divided into a block of areas, there are to watch, but more is closed, the core viewing area in the center of the entire Northwest Road, close to the northwest square, where the temporary set up viewing platform, almost 2 kilometers long, the subjective platform, about 96 meters, the exercise troops will be here, according to the way of saluting and being reviewed.

Divided into four regions, government representatives, military representatives, workers' representatives and foreign envoys and media representatives, the rest will be distributed on other viewing platforms, and 120,000 people in Baotou will be lucky enough to get tickets to the ceremony, go to their respective viewing platforms, and they will watch the whole exercise in full view.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, all the equipment and the phalanx on foot entered the northwest road, about 7:30, everyone entered, the parade area, after a series of speeches and fixed routines, the parade began.

In the square, a huge loudspeaker, in which the announcer kept introducing the names of the phalanx passing through the rostrum, where they came from, which unit they came from, what kind of exploits and brilliance they had, and what kind of heroes were born. At the same time, the Northwest Radio Station also simultaneously broadcast the grand occasion of the military parade to the entire Northwest and even most of China's large and medium-sized cities, and China's strength was transmitted to the land of China in countless radio waves.

On the A4 stands, the ambassadors of Britain, France, the United States and Russia had solemn faces, and the previous trace of suspicion basically disappeared in front of the phalanx that walked neatly across the square, and in a phalanx, there were not many personnel, only 352, just look at the spirit of these personnel, and the posture of walking, you will know that they are qualified elite soldiers, and such soldiers are relatively rare in any army. It is really difficult to select from 20,000 or 30,000 people, and those who are somewhat similar in height and posture, and it is really difficult to select all soldiers from a ruler, and the soldiers of the army are always strange, if it is one out of ten, there are five or six hundred thousand troops in Baotou.

Familiar with several ambassadors of the army, knowing that this is almost impossible, the biggest possibility is fifty or sixty, seventy or eighty to choose one, it is very likely that the northwest really has 4 million troops, then, for Baotou's vigilance, it will be raised to a higher level.

The foreign envoys headed by Zhu Erdian, while observing the military parade lineup in the northwest, were thinking in their hearts how to beat down such a vigorous and vigorous northwest.

The ambassadors and media personnel of other small countries are really watching the excitement, no matter how good they are, such a repetitive queue also makes them a little bored, the strength of the northwest, for them, is a chicken and a duck, the wind and horses and cows are not related, the sky falls, there will always be a tall top, after the initial excitement, some familiar people, get together, and start to discuss the new ready-to-wear, leather shoes and satchels in the northwest.

Over the years, the products of the Northwest have been popular in the world, Yang Yuanzhao, who has experience in later generations, will not be OEM in vain, when all kinds of luxury jewelry have not yet entered the world's vision, there is already a high price base in China, and it is logical to promote luxury goods.

As early as centuries ago, Chinese silk, brocade, and porcelain were absolute luxuries, and now, the wealthy class in Europe are still ecstatic to get a silk scarf of Chinese origin.

On this basis, the Northwest carefully selected, from men's clothing, women's clothing, bags and jewelry, etc., to support at least 12 luxury jewelry brands, in the luxury and use, do everything, with high costs, plus a large amount of advertising, in the first time to occupy the market, and become synonymous with luxury, and as the capital of the Northwest, one of the largest cities in the world, these luxury brands here more than one, and almost every month, will hold a large-scale luxury jewelry conference, It has attracted the attention of many wealthy people from all over the world.

These ambassadors, to be able to come to China, the picture is wealth, especially now, Northwest products all over the world, even if it is an ordinary product, can make a lot of money, not to mention luxury, a product worth one dollar, after drifting across the ocean, may become three dollars, so a $1,000 luxury goods, or the limited kind, how much can it be worth.

A beautifully made, all silk brocade women's clothing, sold for a high price of $127,800 in New York, USA, which completely ignited the pursuit of the rich.

In the case of supply and demand upside down, Baotou's luxury goods, ushered in a large number of orders, do not worry about selling, the price increase is inevitable, Baotou local to be more rational, but also can be bought in a limited number of items, they only need to resell, they can get three or five times the profit, these small country diplomats, most of them come to the headshot to do this.

More than a hundred queues have passed, and next, there is an artillery phalanx, the sound of rumbling engines sounded, and the tractors dragging different artillery pieces drove slowly, those neat, painted with the same color, pulled all kinds of artillery behind them, through the shock of the rostrum, really attracted everyone's attention.

The car thing, being able to stand next to the rostrum, has seen it, and even owns it, I have not seen it so neatly walked, some military talents, almost instantly, saw the benefits of this tractor, they were able to solve the most critical transportation problem of artillery.

Artillery, is the most difficult to transport, everyone knows, artillery is the king of infantry, if the number of artillery in a unit is very large, the combat effectiveness will inevitably increase, but in the city, or there is a railway section is easy to do, the power of artillery, depending on its own heaviness, the larger the artillery, the heavier it is, just like the current mainstream, 155 artillery, its power, huge, but the weight, also more than 10 tons, in the ordinary road section is good to say, once through the more muddy, even swamp, Then artillery will almost inevitably be outdated.

Compared with ordinary marching, the transportation of artillery is more difficult, which is also the fundamental reason for the lack of artillery that is not equipped, if the army is equipped with a large number of artillery, just a logistical pressure, it is enough to make the combat effectiveness of the troops, to an unbearable extent, this is also a focus of contradictions, how to grasp this degree, is what every army officer must do, it seems, the northwest not only found, but also solved.
