25.Emperor 4,600 years (10)

"Unit Three!Where are you looking?!"

"Adjust the focal length, who taught you how to do the camera?

"Unit Five! You're not going to shoot the girls' school team, and if you dare to use the sacred camera for voyeurism again, I swear I'll drown you in the toilet!!"

Cutting off the communication channel hard, Dr. Riefenstahl took the coffee and drank it down, the cold espresso soaked his throat that was about to smoke, and the exhausted "Chief Director of the Imperial Parade of 4,600 Years" breathed a sigh of relief.

Due to the problem of population resources, the status of women in the elves has always been relatively high. After the rise of Alfheim, based on the need for human resource development in the overall war, the concept of equality between men and women and heroic mothers was also widely admired. It has long been commonplace for women to enter the workplace, the military, and government departments. Even so, women in high positions are still rare.

Berta Yelena Riefenstahl is such a phoenix, graduated from the Communication University, and originally aspired to be a war correspondent, but by accident participated in the production of documentaries on several military exercises and was favored by the high-level. Since then, it has taken less than seven years to rise from a low-level civil servant to the position of almost the deputy director of the Film and Television Media Bureau, even if it is an elven society that implements competency, this is quite a remarkable achievement.

Whether you can go one step further and hang up the title of "bureau seat" depends on whether you do your job beautifully today.

The military parade of the 4,600th anniversary of the Emperor's reign. This is part of the series of commemorative activities of the "4,600 years of the Emperor's reign" in Alfheim, and it is also the culmination of the event. Previously, the government had already built a lot of momentum through the construction of large buildings, religious events, the collection of "Songs of the 4600th Annoy", and the holding of large-scale art exhibitions and industrial science and technology exhibitions. Now. It's finally time for the finale.

Speaking of a military parade, it actually includes three major activities: "Epoch 4600 Special Commemorative Ship Viewing Ceremony", "Epoch 4600 Special Commemorative Parade", and "Anno 4600 Parade", which far exceed the military parade of any country so far. In order to allow the elven subjects all over the world to witness the feat of the prosperous state, not only did Alfheim temporarily set up a large broadcasting terminal, but also camouflaged cargo ships all over the country opened signal transmission devices to broadcast the grand occasion to their compatriots in the southern colonies and northern principalities. Finally, in order for future generations to witness the glory of today, the Propaganda Department will make today's footage into a large-scale documentary "The Triumph of the Will" for preservation......

Under such tremendous pressure, Riefenstahl naturally could not be easy, for the sake of his personal future. and that he can leave a corresponding place in history. She let it go.

15 large cameras, 25 portable cameras, plus aerial photography, large robotic arms, ladders, logistics support and so on...... In order to shoot this epic work, the experienced photographers of the Propaganda Department were not able to meet the demand. In the end, I barely managed to make up enough numbers from the media school. In order to let these little kids who are not even rookies get into the state. The director is a good toss. Now that they're finally on track, they can take a breather.

When Riefenstahl breathed a sigh of relief, Parsifal had just wiped the cold sweat off his head.

Until now. He still has no real sense of how he is one of the lucky ones to be reviewed.

Because it was a once-in-a-century grand occasion, the troops' enthusiasm for the parade was quite high, and at one point it even threw out a super-large-scale plan of four divisions, but this plan was immediately rejected by the General Staff itself. Although Alfheim was the largest and most modern city in the world, it was also a disaster for a guy to rush in more than 50,000 soldiers and equipment and baggage. In addition, now is the critical juncture for war preparations, and although the military parade is important, it must not affect the preparation for war.

After discussions between the General Staff and the consuls, the final size of the troops participating in the parade was limited to 15,000, plus 26 floating warships participating in the special observation style, and a total of 527 air formations of strategic bombers, reconnaissance planes, attack planes, and MDS. Appearing in such a dignified array can be regarded as taking into account the actual situation of the city and the mood of the army.

Due to the limited number of troops, the selection conditions for the parade troops were set quite high, so much so that at one time there were rumors that "those who passed the selection test might be transferred to the pro-guard unit," and the high selection conditions were evident.

It stands to reason that those who can participate in the parade are either Category A field units or outstanding representatives of military academies. Not to mention the logistics department, even the B garrison troops can't take their turns, after all, people can't walk right with steel guns in their hands, or drive chariots and MDS over, and let the logistics department get handbags and seals, right?

Parsifal was a civilian in the Logistics Department, and he had nothing to do with the parade, but he was still a field officer. During his time in the Principality, he was highly regarded for his excellent performance in logistics during the Battle of Riga, and the Principality awarded Parsifal the Order of Anna of the 3rd degree and the Order of St. Stanislav of the 2nd degree for the first time in the Principality. In addition to the recommendation of the Principality Front, the Defence Force also awarded him the Iron Cross of the Second Class and the Order of Merit for Service. In the defense army where most soldiers have a bare chest, from the general to the sergeant, who are suffering from "neck disease", this achievement is enough to attract many envious, jealous and hateful eyes.

It is precisely for this reason that in order to highlight the "epic" atmosphere of the parade, the parade command center, which suffers from the lack of heroic models, has set its sights on Parsifal and ordered him to go to the parade phalanx to show off his chest jingling things.

(I always feel that I am getting farther and farther away from my ideal life...... )

Sneaking to the left and right, the long black, gold, and red national flags and the red, white and black eagle flags of the Wehrmacht hung down the doors of the Goddess's carriage, and the buildings on both sides of the main avenue were also hung with national flags and military flags, and many buildings also hung curtains from the windows, on which neat slogans were printed: "For true freedom and justice", "Long live independent Yarfheim", and so on. Eighty percent of them are groups like the "Steel Helmet Regiment". On the curtain with the words "Defend the Homeland and the War of Faith", there is also a depiction of a divine will agent holding Gramm. Tell the wise people that "the scourge of mankind" has befallen them. In the distance, the serpent, a symbol of the "scourge of mankind", is approaching Alfheim.

Parsifal did not dare to compliment this idea, which was full of paranoia of victimization. As for the soldiers who defend their homeland and country...... It didn't sound bad, but he didn't feel that he was being able to afford such a sacred word.

Since the time of the junior military academy, he was considered "not a good material for being a soldier" and "there is waste from the neck down", and he was transferred to the logistics department after barely graduating, and was preparing to become a salary thief for the rest of his life, but he was transferred to the north all the time, and after making meritorious deeds by mistake, he was called back to his homeland to participate in the military parade...... The ups and downs of life to this journey are really called adventures. But this is nothing more than the result of going with the flow.

Even a logistics officer like him can feel the frenzied tension that is permeating the world after traveling from south to north. The balance of power among the nations is already extremely fragile. A great war engulfing the world is imminent. After the humans start the film, it's time for the defense forces to come into play......

(What the hell is that lieutenant colonel!One is the principality, the next is the military parade, and then the Siegfried Line is stationed!)

I remembered the appointment I received last night. Parsifal sighed again. After the end of the parade. He was about to pack his bags and report to the Siegfried Line. If you receive this arrangement before the trip to the principality. He's going to cheer for a long time. Everyone knows that the Siegfried Line is related to the country, and that the future is bright if it is done well, and that it is far better than the north in terms of security and complete facilities. It is the fat gap that the field staff of the logistics department dream of, but now it is ......

Continuing to stand still, his eyes focused on the human walls on both sides of the avenue, looking for figures who should come to see him off.

With the help of the old friend of the gendarmerie lieutenant, "she" can enjoy the same treatment as an officer's family, and will not stay behind the wall and tiptoe. Where is the orc girl who has accompanied her all the way from the principality to this day?

As Parsifal searched the crowd, the broadcasting terminal, which was larger than a billboard, lit up, and then there was a commotion from the side of the council building, and when the man in full armor appeared on the balcony of the council building, surrounded by elders in traditional toga robes, the whole of Alfheim began to boil, and the cheers echoed between heaven and earth like waves washing over rocks.

########

Countless colored papers are flying in the air. Colorful debris that covered the sky scattered and then swirled into a whirlpool along with cheers and salutes. This whirlpool is carried up by the autumn wind, and the colorful reflected light swayes in the air, creating a fantasy of color. Infected by this splendor, the audience became more frenetic, and the slogans and simple cheers intertwined, shaking the whole city.

More than 20 years, financial, material, manpower, calculation, power and conspiracy......

Spend all of the above and be in front of the iconic buildings of the ideal city that you have built yourself, face 15,000 well-trained soldiers, hundreds of thousands of tons of steel warships, planes, and chariots - train them, train them, teach them, use them, and listen to hundreds of thousands of people cheering for you in front of you. No matter how humble a person is, he will be dominated by high spirits, and a sense of accomplishment and glory will arise spontaneously. Especially with the impassioned accompaniment of the "March of the Empire", the gray pleasure of holding power overflows the head, and there is no feeling of omnipotence and omnipotence that can be matched.

That's it for ordinary people.

Only a wise person who separates emotion from reason and observes his surroundings thoroughly and calmly can look at this qiē objectively and then react correctly. And Li Lin happens to be this kind of scarce race.

The reaction of public opinion was normal, and the morale of the army was high;

Group emotional resonance, within the expected range;

the combat effectiveness of the army to meet the needs;

Economy, logistics, confirmation of the achievement of indicators;

geostrategic situation, in line with expectations;

In response to the smiling faces of the people, the calculations are carried out in an orderly manner, with neither excitement nor joy.

Li Lin is not human, and it is worth considering whether he can even be considered a creature in a broad sense. As a "creator" with a clear mission, all he cares about is the progress of the plan, which is his only meaning of existence.

Now is the time when the plan reaches its stage point.

This shadow state already has all the necessary qualifications to be a great power - a strong industrial system, a modern army, a complete technology research and development system, a colony and transportation system that can provide sufficient resources, and an adequate mobilization system. The only thing that is lacking is a war that can prove to be good and strong.

From the time of its inception to the present day, even if some citizens have not experienced that history firsthand, he has been able to understand it vividly from countless vivid descriptions by school teachers, politicians, historians, and journalists. After achieving unprecedented material prosperity, the national consciousness of the elves has reached a historical height. Even among peace-loving liberals, there is no shortage of people with a strong sense of national pride.

Against the backdrop of rapid economic growth in industrialization, this kind of nationalism is becoming more and more restless, and although not as crazy as Charlemagne, when given the opportunity to do so, for example, the specter of ultra-nationalism will come out of the magic bottle and take the scythe to humanity that planted the seeds of racial hatred in the first place.

All Li Lin had to do was push behind the elves.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is history!"

Facing the gazes of many looking up, Li Lin's unique voice floated over Alfheim, and the entire city and hundreds of thousands of subjects of different races held their breath and listened to the voice of the agent of divine will.

"4,600 years ago, the consul Frederick turned the city-state into a state, and the world's first state was born. The tolerant consuls told the humans that they should live in the city. They came, and they came to the city under the rule of the elves with their possessions. They settled down and enjoyed equal rights like other races. It was the honeymoon period between humans and elves, which lasted until more than a thousand years ago. I don't want to talk about the tragedy that followed, but I believe that every wise person with a conscience will be familiar with that history full of betrayal and killing. ”

The cool voice tightened, and the air in Alfheim was in an uproar, and before the discussion could expand, Li Lin continued:

"Forgetting the past means betrayal. The purpose of revisiting the past here is not to dwell on the past, but to have a benchmark for the future. The responsibility given to us is heavy. Standing on the shoulders of the many victims of the disaster, we have been entrusted with the responsibility of building a new management system that will perpetuate the world and not allow the tragedies of the past to recur. ”

The narration stopped, the crowd consciously took off their hats, and after a minute of tragic atmosphere, the voice became loud again.

"The officers and men gathered here today are the guardians of the country and the vanguard of the new order. The effort you put in, the hardships you put in, is to use this power for the critical moment. Many years from now, young people will be curious about today, when they follow in your footsteps, understand one of them, be proud of our generation, and enjoy the sunshine of peace with their heads held high - this is the meaning of today's qiē, this is the glorious time given by history, and you are part of it, immortalized with the great motherland. Long live the Motherland!"

Long live the Motherland! Long live the Motherland! Long live the Motherland!

The sound of cheers surged at this moment, and hundreds of thousands of fanatical roars shook the entire city, military and national flags were waved continuously, and whistles and horns sounded. With Li Lin's order to "start the parade", the last big military parade before the war in Yalfheim officially kicked off. The citizens who applauded the majestic posture of the soldiers did not expect that only eight months later, the soldiers who participated in the parade today would rush to the battlefield to shed their blood, and some of them would never return to Yarfheim...... (To be continued......)
