PS: The second update is here! Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass!

The roaring sound of the motor came from the end of the square, as if it were thunder! Tanks painted black are slowly approaching from the end of the square! The tracked tanks were all processed, and none of them made the sound that made people feel tooth sore. Of course, there is no need to worry about the ground of the square being crushed! Otherwise, after the end of this military parade, the ground on the square will definitely leave indelible traces!

The phalanx of the first armored unit is a battalion of 72 T5 'Cheetah' medium tanks, this kind of tank, in the battlefield has made immortal feats, whether in the American theater or in the European theater, the squadron is relying on this kind of tank, lightly breaking through the enemy's defense line, thereby reducing casualties. This tank is also the main tank of the Chinese Army's large-scale installation!

Behind the T5 Cheetah medium tank is a battalion of T4 Wild Wolves light tanks. The T4 Wolf light tank was inferior to the T5 Cheetah medium tank in terms of armor and firepower. But on the one hand, such tanks are cheap and can be purchased on a large scale. At the same time, the armor is strong enough to withstand rifle and machine gun fire, and it is perfect for using it against infantry! In addition, the speed and cross-country ability of the T4 Wolf light tank also make it extremely useful on the battlefield when chasing down defeated enemies!

Behind the T4 Wolf light tank, which is a mechanized infantry battalion of 36 Z4 wheeled armored vehicles. This armored vehicle is the first armored vehicle of the Chinese Army to be put into actual combat, to be precise, an armored personnel carrier. It is able to send troops directly to the most dangerous places under enemy fire, which is used by tank units. It can play a very good role!

Of course, these three types of equipment are the main equipment of the armored forces of the Chinese Army, and they have already been shown on the battlefield, and they are no strangers to the dignitaries of various countries. However, seeing a large number of tanks passing in a neat queue, the indomitable momentum formed by this steel chariot still made people rush to shock. Not to mention the common people of the empire. They had little access to the armored forces of the Reich in peacetime. Therefore, when the armored troops opened the guò square, it immediately caused a mountain of cheers from the people of the empire!

"Humph! Do you think the Chinese will come up with any powerful weapons? That's it! Crown Prince William said disdainfully! It's just that his voice was quickly hidden in everyone's cheers. For Germany, the armored forces displayed by the Chinese Army at this parade are really nothing! The technology that Germany acquired from China led them to produce the No. 1 and No. 2 tanks based on the Chinese T4 Wild Wolf light tank and T5 Gepard medium tank. As a matter of fact. These two tanks are simply imitations of the two tanks supplied by China. However, even this made the German Army have armored forces second only to China! In addition, the German Army developed the No. 3 tank on the basis of these two tanks. However, the performance of the No. 3 tank was not satisfactory to the German Army, and its actual combat power was almost the same as that of the Chinese Army's T5 'Cheetah' medium tank. But there are also some benefits to this. That is, you can not be restricted by China! Of course, the German Army also understood the importance of armored forces in the battles on the Western Front, and they were also developing more powerful tanks and armored vehicles. But if you want to completely surpass China, it will be a bit difficult!

Armored units of the Chinese Army. It's not that there are no new weapons, it's just that they didn't show off at this parade! The Army has developed a new version of the T6 'Leopard' medium tank! The performance of the T6 Leopard medium tank compares to that of the T5 Cheetah medium tank. With a great improvement, both the protection capability and the firepower have gone up a new level. And the off-road speed has also improved a lot. However, even so, Emperor Wang Yuze was still not satisfied with the performance of the T6 'Leopard' tank, and asked the tank factory to come up with a better design! Therefore, the T6 'Leopard' medium tank was not mass-produced, at least some were produced on a small scale, and it was only used for technical research!

It is under such circumstances, according to several specific performance requirements put forward by Wang Yuze, that the T7 'Leopard' medium tank has been established, and tank experts have begun to develop it! However, according to the current level of science and technology, it is difficult for them to meet Wang Yuze's requirements, and the most optimistic thing is that it will take several years to develop! Not to mention anything else, Wang Yuze alone demanded that the road speed of this tank must reach 50 kilometers per hour and the off-road speed must be about 30 kilometers per hour, which will kill these engineers. In the case of engine performance, it is necessary to ensure that the tank has strong armor and firepower, and at the same time has an advantage in speed, which are completely contradictory two requirements. Therefore, the development of the T7 'Leopard' tank was very difficult. But even then, the engineers are giving it their all! Because Wang Yuze told them that the T7 'Leopard' tank will be used as the main tank of the Chinese Army's armored forces on the battlefield in the future! This means that the T7 'Leopard' tank will bear a great responsibility, and if the war is lost because of this, then these engineers will be killed! In addition, in addition to the T7 'Leopard' medium tank, Wang Yuze asked for the development of the T8 'Tiger' heavy tank. In Wang Yuze's vision, the T7 'Leopard' medium tank will be the main force of the armored force, and it will be widely equipped with all units. The T8 Tiger Heavy Tank is the fist unit of the armored forces, responsible for the main assault operations and the heavy task of destroying the enemy's armored forces!

In addition to tanks, armored vehicles are also the focus of improvement! Although the wheeled armored car is fast, the off-road performance is too bad, which has been shown in the war. The arsenal of the Chinese Army has developed a tracked armored vehicle, which is now being tested, and after passing the tests, it will be able to go into mass production!

Although Germany's Crown Prince Wilhelm was dismissive of the armored forces of the Chinese army, the eyes of the dignitaries of other countries were full of envy. In particular, the Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary, Archduke Ferdinand, after seeing the majestic military posture of the armored forces of the Chinese Army, made up his mind that in this peace meeting, the T5 'Cheetah' medium tank and the T4 'Wild Wolf' light tank and Z4 wheeled armored vehicles must be introduced from China, so that the Austro-Hungarian Army also has a strong armored force in order to be able to resist the threat from Germany!

After the armored troops passed through the square, there were two special infantry phalanxes! The soldiers of these two phalanxes are not Chinese soldiers, but mercenaries from Japan and Korea! In this world war, Japanese mercenaries and Korean mercenaries fought under the command of China and achieved brilliant results, but also paid a heavy price! The total casualties paid by the Japanese mercenaries alone in this war were about 1.5 million, and the casualties of the Korean mercenaries were also about 500,000. It can be said that the mercenaries of these two countries have become qualified lackeys of China! In view of their appearance, Wang Yuze especially allowed them to send troops to participate in this military parade, which made Japan and North Korea feel great honor, and made them grateful to Dade!

When the Japanese mercenaries in khaki uniforms and the Korean mercenaries in dark green uniforms passed by the square, the crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers. This can be regarded as an affirmation of these two cannon fodder!

After the Army's demonstration, the Air Force also began their demonstration! A squadron of 12 F5 'Hai Dongqing' fighters flew over the square in front of the Forbidden City, attracting the attention of members of the missions of various countries and the people of the empire! The appearance of the Chinese Air Force in this world war is also very dazzling, and their appearance has completely changed the previous battlefield mode, allowing China to defeat the enemy more easily, and once again leading the trend of military development in the world!

After the fighter planes, all kinds of bombers and attack planes of the Air Force, as well as fighters, torpedo attack planes and dive bombers of the Naval Air Force also participated in this review, which greatly boosted the confidence of the people of the Empire!

The parade lasted until 11:20 a.m. and did not end until 11:20 a.m. After that, the Imperial Government held a grand luncheon, which was also attended by members of the diplomatic missions and envoys of various countries in China, as well as important ministers of the Empire, military generals and representatives of the people! During this period, members of diplomatic missions and envoys stationed in China also greatly admired the military parade held in China. The most important thing is that they have a more intuitive sense of China's military strength, which makes them more in awe of China!

At the time of the luncheon, military attachés from several countries in China were already in contact with the Chinese government and military, hoping to import advanced weapons from China. Tanks and armored vehicles of the armored forces are their key import targets! In addition, the fighters of the Air Force are also what they want to buy! Naval warships are expensive, not that ordinary countries can afford them!

After the parade ended, there was still more than half a month before the official start of the peace meeting! During this period, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Government has made preparations for the peace conference. At the same time, the embassies of various countries also began to contact frequently, hoping to sign treaties that would be beneficial to their countries during the peace conference!

At 9 o'clock in the morning of October 18, under the witness of the envoys of neutral countries to China, the Beijing Peace Conference was officially convened!
