Chapter 73 The Iron Hedgehog on the Pacific

With the basic completion of the Pearl Harbor Fortress, the fortress garrison division, as the fortress defensive force, has entered. Various defensive synthesis drills are conducted every day under the training of German instructors. These are soldiers who have been intensively trained for a year. Now they have officially entered the fortress for service. A defensive drill can be conducted with live ammunition every week to familiarize these soldiers with the use of various defensive weapons in the fortress and to train them adaptively.

At the same time, a first-level war performance will be performed at irregular intervals every month. This was proposed by Zhang Yunfei. His purpose is to adapt these soldiers to the preparations for the first-level war.

On July 1, 1896, on this day, Zhang Yunfei held a grand military parade at Liberty Square in Honolulu and gave a passionate speech:

Soldiers of the Chinese Army and the Chinese Navy, command officials and instructors at all levels, and men and women from the Logistics Department!

The whole world is looking at you and believes that you are the power to destroy any invaders.

People all over the world believe that you are representatives of the advanced and civilized yellow people.

The relatives and friends in the motherland are all looking at you and believe that you are their pride.

The mission of the great liberation of civilization falls on your shoulders. You must be the bearer and promoter of this mission!

You have a steel-like body, a steel-like fighting spirit, and even a steel-like belief!

All the wars you will carry in the future will be wars of civilization, wars of liberation, and even more wars of justice!

Let our great ancestor Yan Emperor and Huang Emperor’s heroic posture inspire you! Inspire you! Let the great Chinese army flag guide you!

Fight for the civilization of the nation!

Fight for the justice of the nation!

Long live the great Chinese nation!

Long live the great descendants of Yan and Huang!

Long live the great Chinese army!

Long live great freedom and independence!

Advance towards the light under the banner of the Chinese army!

When Zhang Yunfei finished speaking, "Advance towards the light under the banner of the Chinese army!", the majestic military parade began.

Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!

The parade formations that had already been lined up neatly on the left side of the parade rostrum, and the uniform movements at this moment left only one sound in the entire parade square.

Stand at attention, hold a rifle, hold a gun.

The movements are orderly and uniform, and the bright bayonets are particularly eye-catching.

Bang!

After the flag bearer of the guard of honor cast out the red earth golden dragon flag, the military parade began.

The guard of honor, composed of the army and the navy, played in neat steps and passed the reviewing stand.

The invited visitors were the Queen of Hawaii, representatives of ministers from various countries, military officers to Oahu, and gossip reporters from various countries stared at them, feeling the impact of this new force, and taking photos as a souvenir.

Then there was the army's square formation, each of which was clasped with watermelon helmets, carrying a bayonet rifle, and passing the reviewing stand with a majestic momentum.

The naval phalanx is the same as the army, except that it is different from the army's uniforms, but it is snow-white, but the momentum is still there.

The artillery phalanx behind was the most awesome. Ten large trucks like locomotives drove over, carrying 10 people on each car, and 80mm Krupp camp cannons were pulled behind, slowly passing through the parade platform. This ordered everyone on the stage to stand up and carefully look at the new artillery equipment, such a huge thing.

This is what Zhang Yunfei and Benz and Diesel have done together. Because the diesel engine is bulky and big, the truck is like the intercontinental ballistic missile vehicle in later generations. When I discussed the future development of artillery with the German artillery instructor, because in this era, livestock are used, and in the face of the continuous development of heavy firepower, the transportation of heavy artillery in the future has obviously attracted the attention of all countries. Originally, Zhang Yunfei did not want to expose this advanced concept to various countries, but thinking that his ability is limited now, he will not be able to maintain the lead in front of all powerful countries after his research is successful. After all, the industrial capacity is there!

So Zhang Yunfei thought that instead of spending money, it was better to make money with these ideas, so he held this military parade and invited countries to come and observe. First, to show their strength to various countries and make all countries pay attention to Zhang Yunfei. Second, to maintain exchanges with the military forces of various countries through this activity and show goodwill to them. Finally, he took the opportunity to sell technology to make money, let them spend a lot of money to improve and pick up ready-made ones by themselves.

Although Zhang Yunfei was very excited about his achievements when he saw the super truck passing in front of him, he thought that this guy was just an oil-eating machine. Although he directly burned oil that had been filtered, he could not afford it. Hawaii has no fuel resources. Now, the coal burned by warships every day is all in the United States and Australia. This is enough for Zhang Yunfei to feel distressed, let alone oil.

Finally, there is a 100-person indigenous people, yes! This is the indigenous guards trained by Zhang Yunfei for the Queen of Hawaii. Not to mention that in order to deserve the huge training fees given by the Queen every year, these indigenous soldiers were fortunate to be sent to the Hunter School to suffer. Their combat power is now a little stronger than Zhang Yunfei's regular army, mainly because their soldiers' willpower is generally very high.

When this army passed the parade, the representatives of ministers from various countries understood one thing, that is, this might be a private transaction between the Queen and Zhang Yunfei. When the Queen actually gave up Oahu Island in order to establish an army, she sighed. Why didn't she ask his country to train? Zhang Yunfei's army seemed to be OK at that time, but she didn't know how effective she was.

Faced with the whispers of various countries, only German officers maintained seriousness and appreciation, because they participated in Zhang Yunfei's military training from beginning to end, and they did not dare to underestimate these troops, especially when they argued with Zhang Yunfei about some combat tactics training, they were often impressed by Zhang Yunfei's tactical theory, and trained these soldiers according to Zhang Yunfei's new tactics. They deeply understood the power of these advanced tactics and the combat effectiveness of these soldiers after training.

But they and Zhang Yunfei both had a tacit understanding and did not say it out, but the contempt in their eyes was self-evident.

Some of you cry on the battlefield!

When the indigenous Army troops saluted the parade, they obviously felt the excitement of the Queen of Hawaii. She kept waving to her army. She felt that her grievance was almost making her cry, but she still held it back and turned to look at Zhang Yunfei to express her gratitude.

Zhang Yunfei just nodded with a smile.

All the soldiers on the phalanx paid tribute to Zhang Yunfei alone. Only this indigenous phalanx was the only one who did not pay tribute to Zhang Yunfei alone. Their eyes included the queen in addition to Zhang Yunfei.

Zhang Yunfei has been trying to win over the indigenous soldiers and all indigenous people, because he thought that one day he would include the entire Hawaii into China's territory, so he had to consider these local masters.

But obviously his purpose has not been achieved yet, and the natives were just grateful and not disgusted with Zhang Yunfei, and they could not replace their queen.

It will be fine if you take it slowly!

After the military parade, Zhang Yunfei thanked the ministers and representatives of various countries for their participation, and expressed his kindness to the representatives of various countries. At the same time, he held a press conference with representatives of various countries and answered reporters' questions.

'A qualified soldier should treat ordinary people with a warlike heart and look at war with a normal heart!'

This is what Zhang Yunfei said to reporters from various countries during the military parade on July 1st one year after the recruits joined the army! At the same time, this day also became the formal establishment of the Chinese Army and was listed as the day of the founding of the Army.

When answering questions from journalists from various countries, representatives from several countries expressed their kindness towards Zhang Yunfei, and also expressed their interest in Zhang Yunfei's transport trucks.

Representatives of several countries also expressed their doubts about the combat effectiveness of Zhang Yunfei's army, because the time was too short after all.

The subsequent speeches of the German instructor representatives made them ashamed. Because as Germany, the strongest army, the German instructor representative unceremoniously defamed their doubts, but praised the force for becoming the strongest army in the Asia-Pacific region and having combat capabilities no less than the German regular army.

Obviously, these countries have no way to refute the praise of the German Army, so all countries expressed interest in this new army. They could not get the training methods for the German army from the German Army, but they could get it from Zhang Yunfei! Since this army has praised the German army, they can't find out how much they can't find out if they want to.

Finally, the journalists summarized Zhang Yunfei's Oahu Island with a cute name.

Steel hedgehog in the Pacific!

The most concerned are Britain and France. Britain has gradually felt the threat from Germany recently because German Emperor William II has issued a 'Notice' of the naval arms race with Britain:

‘The largest military power on the continent is determined to become at least the second-ranked naval power at the same time, which is a top priority in world affairs in the future.’

When we learned that Germany had begun to amend naval laws and reorganize the First Navy Fleet. The First Fleet includes 17 battleships, 9 large and 26 small cruisers and other small ships. The construction plan of this scale will make the German fleet comparable to France and initially have the ability to challenge Britain. Moreover, it has indeed started to build warships on a large scale, and Britain was very angry at the blatant provocation of Germany. In order to maintain its hegemony, it has stepped up the expansion of naval military armaments, and at the same time it is eager to obtain information about the German army's army's army's combat effectiveness.

As Germany's feudal country, France has always been vigilant against Germany, so it does not fall behind Germany in its policy towards Russia and strives to win over Russia, which led to the incident of the three countries' joint interference in North Korea.

Today, France, which is deeply threatened by the German army, certainly does not relax any intelligence on Germany and new equipment and tactics to strengthen the construction of the army.

Since there were many important figures from various countries after the military parade, Zhang Yunfei will meet them separately next.

Among them are the new German Navy Secretary, Alfred von Tirpitz, known as the "German Fisher", Lord John Abbasnot Fisher, and US Secretary of Navy Affairs Theodore Roosevelt.

‘Damn! Why are these big crabs running to me?’ Zhang Yunfei didn’t know their purpose, so he could only curl his lips.
Chapter completed!
