Macho Wars

The imperial palace has set up a viewing platform for the nobles and foreign envoys in advance on the horse path of the city wall. On the tower above the main entrance, the heavy and gorgeous imperial throne has also been moved over. When the military parade officially began, the old emperor You will sit here and review the parade phalanx passing by from below.

All the parade phalanxes were already assembled on Shengli Avenue at the place of departure.In addition to the 8,000 infantrymen, there are hundreds of armored vehicles of various types, tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and various artillery, all of which are the strongest equipment currently in service in the Imperial Army.

Since the air force was shown as a "new weapon" this time, the First Marine Division, strictly speaking, had only one ground infantry phalanx.For this reason, Kane asked his superiors for instructions, hoping that they would be able to pull out the Marine Corps amphibious tanks to form a phalanx. As a result, the parade headquarters sent someone to take a look, and then dismissed them without saying anything. The reason was that they were speechless. , It is difficult to refute.

The amphibious tank is too ugly.

too ugly.

ugly……

In desperation, the First Marine Division could only pin all the chances of a long face on the infantry phalanx trained by Dragon himself.

In the waiting area at the departure place, the four hundred Marines were particularly eye-catching among the blue-grey and brown-yellow because of their black uniforms.

At this time, there was still an hour and a half before the military parade officially began, and the soldiers were gathering in twos and threes to chat and smoke.

Frank, who was in charge of leading the team, was a little nervous, and would walk to the side of the road from time to time, using the glass on the shop window as a mirror, for fear of his military appearance not being tidy enough.

When he thought of waiting for a moment to lead the phalanx to pass in front of the imperial emperor and the Manchu civil and military forces, it was difficult for him to calm down.

All previous military parades have an unwritten rule, that is, the leader of all the phalanxes must be a major under 30 years old. The handsome person is preferred, so Frank, who is very qualified in all aspects, So it was arranged directly.

At this time, a sidecar drove over, and when the soldiers saw that the deputy commander Dragon was sitting in the car, they hurriedly stood at attention and saluted.

Dragon jumped out of the car coolly, greeted the soldiers and motioned for them to continue to rest, then walked straight to Frank.

"Sir, why are you here?"

"Come and see you guys, how do you feel?"

"To be honest... a little nervous."

"Haha, it can't be more scary than charging with a cannonball? Behave well, wait for you to go in C position!"

"I will not disappoint the sir and my brothers."

Although he didn't understand what the "C position" was, Frank knew that by letting him be the leader of the military parade phalanx, he was both valued and cultivated by his superiors.After all, this is a public appearance in front of the emperor and the entire empire, and many people will never have a chance.

Dragon encouraged Frank a few words, and then turned around in the parade.Because most of the selected are veterans with actual combat experience, many of them are his old men.The arrival of the veteran officer greatly boosted the morale of these people.

Dragon stayed with the parade for half an hour. When it was too early, he hurried to the palace again. Before that, he had been to the airport outside the city.

When he rushed to the palace eagerly, there were only less than thirty minutes left before the official start of the celebration parade.And on the horse path of the city wall used as the viewing platform, there are already a vast number of people, and there are less than four to five hundred people.

Benefiting from the empire's strong military spirit, the ranks of seats on the viewing platform, military officers have always been the closest group to the emperor.

Especially in the generation of Sidney XIV, he himself came from a hard-core military faction, so he was ineffective. Except for one underage, all his 19 sons joined the army.

These princes in uniforms, together with those senior imperial officers who were invited to the subjective ceremonies, made a small minority of the palace walls wear military uniforms.

Dragon's arrival did not arouse much attention, after all, most of the people who can stand here are not simple.

He followed the passage specially set aside, and quickly found his boss, Kane, with Enfea and Alicia also here, and Dragon also saw John and a familiar blond boy nearby. .He searched his memory a bit, and soon remembered that this was Alicia's younger brother, Andy, the 19th prince of the empire.

At the moment, the two little boys were looking excitedly at the direction of the parade, their eyes full of expectation.

"Lee, how are the preparations over there?"

"Everything is ready, no problem."

Dragun gestured "Everything is OK" to Kane, and then came to sit down in the seat specially reserved for him.

He raised his head and glanced at the tall gate tower not far away. The old emperor and empress were already sitting on their thrones.

Although from a distance, the old emperor sat in a very high position, and looked like he could easily get a headshot by a sniper, but in fact, the parasol-like canopy covering the two of them was not ordinary. The ceremonial supplies are serious "ancient treasures", and there are very few magic tools in existence.

The specially modified Throne is a magic power generator, which can use the large amount of magic spar stored below to form a "high magic environment" in a small area for the normal operation of magic tools.

of course!The means of the royal guards to protect the emperor is not just as simple as relying on these two "cultural relics" magic tools.

Dragon stared at the two shining magic tools for a while, and was about to withdraw his gaze, when Sidney XIV suddenly stood up from the throne.

As he stood up, the crowded square and palace viewing platform quickly quieted down.At this moment, everyone's eyes converged on one person of Sidney XIV, waiting for the speech of the supreme ruler of the empire.

The old emperor scanned the audience solemnly, and his majestic voice spread to the entire empire through loudspeakers and radio networks.

"Subjects of the empire! All the noble and outstanding Sidneys! Today is a memorable day. Our great and prosperous country ushered in her seven hundred and twelfth birthday. Cheers to your heart's content! Our prosperity and strength today!"

"Long live the empire!!!" xN

With the shout of the old emperor, tens of thousands of people on the square made a sound like a mountain whirring and a tsunami, and this huge and strong emotion continued to spread with the cheers, and quickly spread across the vast land of the empire. spread.

Seeing this situation, all the empires present firmly believed that this great country would never be defeated by any foreign enemy!

Chapter 397

The military parade is one of the important ways for the mainstream countries in the world to show their military power and "show their muscles."It can boost the morale of the people of the country internally, and it can also play a deterrent effect externally.

Especially for a first-class military power like Sidney, whenever a major military parade is held, some of the latest weapons and equipment will always be revealed.

Therefore, no matter the ordinary people or the envoys of various countries who have traveled from abroad, everyone on the scene is eagerly looking forward to it.

Under the attention of all, Sidney XIV pulled out the emperor's sword at his waist and pointed it at the sky. The military band by the moat of the palace immediately played the high-pitched "Legislative March", and the military parade officially began. The horse's phalanx set foot on the Avenue of Triumph.

At the forefront is still the customary Imperial Forest Army, officially called the Royal First Guard.Many unidentified people tend to confuse them with the Royal Guards with similar names, but in fact these are two different units.

The First Imperial Guard is a division-level field force, with a huge staffing and equipped with a large number of heavy weapons. The main responsibility is to accompany the emperor during his personal expedition.But most of the time, they were helping to convey the emperor's will and urging other troops to fight, so they were also dubbed the "Royal Supervisor Team" by the army.

The Royal Guard is an independent brigade with a total strength of 800 people. Its main responsibility is to guard the palace and the security of the immediate royal family members. It is a typical internal guard.

Headed by the leading Imperial Forest Army, the infantry sequence is always the first to appear. The troops that can participate in the parade are all elite units from the major military regions.Whenever a phalanx passes in front of the palace gate, the broadcaster will use an impassioned voice to introduce the origin and glorious record of this kind of troops to the audience.

Although the mood of the people at the scene was adjusted to a high level, it was far from reaching its peak. After all, the infantry phalanx marching on foot was far less powerful than the booming tanks.

However, at this moment, a square formation in the second half of the infantry sequence gradually appeared in the eyes of everyone. Their dark uniforms and overall solemn temperament attracted a lot of attention as soon as they appeared.These black soldiers are not as ostentatious as other phalanxes in their costumes or marching posture. Instead, they walk a little introverted, but their steps are the neatest of all phalanxes.

Some people even found that not only did they have the same pace, but they also tried their best to be consistent with their demeanor and some small details. At first glance, they seemed to be four hundred "copied" soldiers.

And their neatness also made many people on the scene feel comfortable and realize that they may be obsessive-compulsive disorder patients!

Frank, who was walking at the front of the queue, tried to tighten every muscle of his face and tried to maintain a serious expression, but his heart was already tense as if he was about to jump out of his chest. This is a kind of completely different from when fighting. Different feelings.

At this time Frank glanced at the right from the corner of his eye. They had already reached the front gate of the palace. The old emperor was standing on the high tower overlooking them with his sword in his hands.

Next, it is time for them, the Marines, to show the results of their special training for several months.

Accompanied by the drum beats of military music, Frank, who was at the forefront, exclaimed in a loud voice.
