Chapter 56 Military Power

"It's a spectacular scene." A familiar voice suddenly came from Zheng Yu's ear. He turned his head and saw a fat white face, right behind him. The man was wearing a full dress, with a slanted ribbon, a thick neck and a generous chin, which was very conspicuous. He was William Rockhill, the new US ambassador to China.

Zheng Yu smiled and nodded: "William, this is the love that the people of the empire have for His Majesty. If the President of Washington in your country is alive, the same situation may have happened."

"Unless the founding father emerged from the tomb." Rockhill shook his head, "I know our lovely Yankees better than you. They don't have much interest in great men. What they care about is just axiom and justice, of course... and our fair and unscrupulous opening, and... commercial interests."

Zheng Yu turned around and said lightly: "When every nation rises, heroes will come into being. When your country is independent, there were Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Adams and Dixon, and my empire is of course the first of all. The reason why the people love heroes is because of their contributions to the country and nation. Today's empire is the empire of the people and the empire of His Majesty. Charles, when you see these, you should understand that Your Majesty's will is unshakable, and the empire's position in Asia is also unbreakable. Five hundred million soldiers and civilians are united as one, William, do you know what this means?"

Rockhill looked at the surging sea of ​​people opposite, the solemn and mighty army on both sides of the long street, and witnessed the black car walking alone in the long street. Wherever he went, there were mountains and seas. He couldn't help but groaned: "God, this is Napoleon of the East..."

"He is greater than that French emperor." Zheng Yu shook his head, "He will not go on expeditions to Russia, nor will he imagine unifying the world. He just wants to restore the glory and tradition of his motherland and realize the dream of the knowledgeable people in this country. He will not impose his will on the people, and let them fight against the outside world again and again with hunger. Everything about him is for the country, for the nation, and for the people. William, such a person, cannot be defeated."

Rockhill was silent for a moment and nodded gently: "Swear to God, you are right, my young and noble prince."

He looked at the slow and determined figure in the distance and took a deep breath: "If I were not the ambassador of the United States, but the Philadelphia man who had just graduated thirty years ago... Maybe I would choose to be loyal to His Majesty rather than join the Corps."

Zheng Yu's eyes flashed with a light and he said with a smile: "William, I heard that you graduated from the French Saint-Sill Military Academy and served in Algeria?"

“That’s right.”

"It seems that we have a lot in common. You are a soldier, and I am a soldier. I heard that you have traveled to Méng ancient times and Tibet under the sponsorship of the Smith Society?" Zheng Yu said softly, "I have read your travel notes. You have a unique view on Tibetan Buddhism. We might as well discuss it when we have time."

"Your Highness, are you also interested in Tibetan Buddhism?" Rockhill asked with interest.

"My father was recognized by Tibetan Buddhism as the incarnation of Sakyamuni," Zheng Yu nodded, "How could he know nothing about Tibetan Buddhism? William, in two days I will invite you to have afternoon tea and have a good chat."

At this time, Zheng Yu seemed to feel another complicated and suspicious look beside him. He turned his head slightly and smiled at the British Ambassador to China Juerdian: "Jazz?"

Juerdian bowed slightly: "Your Highness, Whitehall has issued a telegram last night regarding further details of Sino-British cooperation. Please tell His Majesty the Emperor to negotiate as soon as possible."

Zheng Yu nodded with a smile.

Zhu Erdian glanced at Rockhill sideways, and the two of them looked at each other, and there was a faint fire bursting out, and each turned his head.

A building facing the street, on the second floor window, a white man dressed in Chinese citizen swallowed and said in a daze: "My God, such a country is invincible..."

Beside him, a Chinese man dressed as a university teacher, held his glasses and whispered: "Mr. Dias, please do not have any doubts about the strength of the empire. The kingly way of the empire, and the sincerity of supporting each other in Asia, Africa and Latin America and the later nations, can swear to God..."

"You are right, my friend." The white man murmured, looking at the two guards with live ammunition beside him, "This is a powerful empire, an invincible army. My God, fortunately you are in Asia."

"The purpose of the foreign empire is peace, equality, and mutual benefit." The Chinese man whispered, "The empire is not Britain, nor France, nor Germany. China has a long history of five thousand years, and it is not a kingly and righteous manner. It can be compared with European colonists who bully the weak."

"You are right, those colonial robbers, may God bless them all to hell," the white man drew a cross, "I think, I know how to report to General Gomez."

"Please tell the general that His Majesty the Emperor of our country will be his most loyal friend." The Chinese man patted the other party on the shoulder. "Your Majesty insisted that the happiness and freedom of the Venezuelan people depend on the general. As for Lord Castro, what is most suitable for him is the European country villa and beauty."

"In addition, I am really sorry about your request to meet His Majesty the Emperor because His Majesty is busy with state affairs." The Chinese man's words immediately made the white man's face devastated.

The middle-aged man smiled in his heart, but his face was extremely serious: "However, His Highness, the Crown Prince of My Country, will personally meet with the envoy tomorrow. His Highness, the Crown Prince, will have full power regarding the matters between our country and Venezuela."

The white man's eyes lit up and he nodded slowly.

--------------------------------

The emperor who returned to the watchtower and watched the palace again was full of energy without any fatigue. His whole body exuded a sense of vitality that had not appeared for a long time.

The military parade has officially begun. The neat square formation has passed through the triumphal mén built after the Sino-Japanese War on East Chang'an Street one after another, kicking the goose steps, and crossing the long street in front of the viewing platform one after another.

The emperor was in a good mood and smiled and pushed Zheng Yu to the front desk to act as the commentator. Zheng Yu had known this arrangement, and although he was a little nervous, he calmly began to explain.

Due to long-term Westernization, almost all the upper classes of the Chinese Empire could speak fluent English, and the emperor's English was outstanding. Given the presence of many friendly people and the fact that this matter was originally a demonstration to the outside world, Zheng Yu also spoke English.

"...you guys, what you are coming here is the most war-friendly army in the Chinese Empire, namely the personal guards of His Majesty, the Second Royal Guards Regiment, the White Tiger Regiment... This regiment is organized and practiced according to the ability to fight against other Asian armies in defense. This is an army of heroes, with footprints ranging from Hue, Da Nang, and north to Heilongjiang... The regiment commander of the regiment is the Imperial combat hero, the winner of the special White Tiger Medal, the second-level Qinglong Medal, and Colonel Wu Peifu. The colonel is 31 years old and has been granted a viscount. He can be called young and promising, but he has never been married. It is a pity..."

A black square formation like a knife and axe chopped, guided by a fiery golden dragon and cloud battle flag, walked towards it like a drum. In front of the reviewing stand, the officers led the team waved the sword and pointed at a slant. Thousands of tigers suddenly burst out with an angry roar, and thousands of people were the same: "I am invincible and I am invincible."

The roar of this volcano erupted suddenly made many "friendly people" present look like earth, staring at the tiger with a murderous aura in a daze. Many officers and gods were complicated, and their faces were also filled with surprise.

Zheng Yu seemed to have not realized it, and still said enthusiastically: "...This unit is the First Regiment of the First Division of the National Defense Forces, Langfang regiment, which was the unit that fought bloody battles in Langfang and blocked the Second Japanese Army. A regiment blocked the three Japanese brigades' attacks. This regiment is the Jingrui of our army, the ace of the National Defense Forces. Their predecessor? Yes, it is the third standard of the town..."

"Now this blue uniform unit belongs to the First Marine Regiment. The predecessor of the Marine Corps was the Marine Corps. Yes, it was the unit that surprises the coastal defense. In the 18898, they were the first to land at Dagukou, and then launched the Dalian landing war to win. The Marine Corps is the sharp knife for the Chinese Empire to safeguard overseas interests."

Zheng Yu glanced at everyone and noticed that the French ambassador's eyelids were trembling, while the Dutch minister met Juerdian for a moment.

"What comes down here is the First Battalion of the First Heavy Artillery Brigade of the National Welfare Army, which is the 152 Howitzer Battalion, which uses a crawler-type tractor. Its predecessor was the famous Tienniu 2 tractor, but its horsepower is greater and its transportation capacity is stronger. The one behind is the 105 Howitzer Battalion, which uses mules and horses to transport them. These horses are all Persh horses, and are the most excellent horse-drawn breeds in the world... Please see, what you are coming here is the Second Battalion of the Field Artillery Teaching Brigade of the National Welfare Army. They are equipped with the Chinese four-year 75mm field speed shè, which is the latest field light cannon in the empire. The speed is as high as fifteen rounds per minute, and the range can reach six kilometers... Dear gentlemen, all of the above cannons are developed and produced by our *** system. Of course, the participation of friends from Britain, France and Belgium is indispensable in this... "

The guests let out a breath of surprise.

Zheng Yu smiled secretly and said enthusiastically: "Everyone, what you are coming here is the search regiment of the First Guard Division. These are the latest type of iron horse armored cars in the empire, which can prevent ordinary rifle bullets and protect the safety of members in the car. The two crew members of the vehicle can be loaded with six fully armed soldiers. The manual machine gun tower above is equipped with a heavy machine gun, which is a weapon for reconnaissance, search and quick pursuit of the enemy."

Zheng Yu noticed that the French military officers and the British military officers looked at each other, while the German military officers were mowing their chins and thinking. As for the Russian military officers, there was a disdainful smile on their lips.

In this era, the military parades in Europe and the United States were just to let the troops walk around as usual in their usual training. However, in order to show their military power, the parades in the Chinese Empire really carried out a closed special training, so the military posture and pace were impeccable. The powerful generals walked past the viewing platform, and the formation of strict as if chopping a knife and axe, the slogans of the sky, the fierce and brave temperament, and the uniform order of thousands of people gave the greatest visual and psychological impact to all those who saw this scene.

At this time, Zheng Yu pointed into the air, and another exclamation came from the city tower.

"This is the masterpiece of the industry, Ziyun type airship, aluminum skeleton, steel plate protective pod, with a range of 2,000 kilometers." These words immediately moved the Russian military officer and German military officer who had been somewhat reserved. As for the Japanese military officer Ryutsu, who had been silent, he had already stared at the behemoth in the sky with his eyes flickering.

Zheng Yu glanced sideways and thought to himself that if he hadn't been afraid of you not daring to take action, he would have revealed more information. Forget it, true and false, everyone will get what they need. The most important audience in this scene is actually the United States, Britain, Germany and the French. Especially the American Sinology Master and the German Ambassador Clinder. As long as he shocked these people, the empire's pre-war preparations would have a little more room.

As for the Japanese and Russians, these things cannot be concealed. If you say something selectively, you can use them to cover up some more important things.
