Make France Great Again

When the dragoons riding on unified brown-red horses conveyed the order to the commanders of the various formations and returned to the viewing platform one after another, the loud bugle blew in the formations filled with infantry and cavalry.

As the bugle sounded in the phalanx of the military parade, the artillerymen placed in the wilderness 500 meters away from the military parade also began to act. The wooden box full of smoke shells was opened by a crowbar, revealing smooth and round black shells. , The artilleryman responsible for loading the ammunition picked up the smoke screen shell with both hands and carefully placed the shell in the gun chamber filled with gunpowder.

After all the gun chambers were loaded with special shells, the commander in command of the artillery unit extended his forearm at a 90-degree angle to his forearm, and shouted loudly, "Ready!"

All the artillerymen looked tense, and the leads held in their palms were straightened.

"Release!" With the order of the artillery commander, almost all the artillerymen pulled hard at the same time, and the cannonball shot out from the muzzle like a wild horse at a speed exceeding the speed of sound. The brackets slammed into the ground hard.

The rumbling sound of the cannon appeared a few tenths after the cannonball flew out of the muzzle. Jerome Bonaparte, who was far away at the parade ground, understood that the twelve-pound bronze cannon, which symbolized the pinnacle of the front-bore cannon, had already destroyed the smoke and cannonballs. After a few seconds, the red, blue and white smoke representing the French flag began to rise in the distance due to the influence of the air density, and the military parade officially began with the sound of gun salute and bugles.

Just as the invited audience (ambassadors of various countries) were guessing the type of artillery, a team of new-style men dressed in sky blue breasted military uniforms (with silver breastplates), black helmets with feathers, command knives and portable pistols on their waists. The French cavalry appeared first, and they were the most loyal men of Jerome Bonaparte - the French imperial guard dragoons.

This team originated in the Republic, prospered in the First Empire, and then collapsed in the restoration of Bourbon's Guard cavalry. Reborn by the hands of the Emperor of the Second Empire.

The silver cuirass radiated dazzling light under the lazy sunlight, and each of the imperial dragoons came to Jerome Bonaparte's viewing platform with full enthusiasm and uniform pace.

"Long live Napoleon, long live the Empire!"

The dragoons of the Guards, led by their brigade commander, General Pelissier, skillfully shouted out the slogans that had been rehearsed many times.

Standing on the stage without saying a word, Jerome Bonaparte smiled when he heard the shouts of the guard dragoons. ), waving the hat to these loyal warriors.

The Guard Dragoons slowly left the viewing platform under the leadership of Pelissier, followed by the Guard Grenadiers under the leadership of Imperial Brigadier General Leboeuf.

"Long live Napoleon! Long live the Empire!"

The grenadier, wearing a high fleece cap and carrying a Mignet gun, also paid due respect to Jerome Bonaparte with an enthusiastic attitude.

This group of soldiers who have been carefully selected to join the parade phalanx, each of them are very similar in height and physique. When looking in from the side, only the first person in the queue can be seen. What is even more commendable is their pace, The heights of the raised legs are also so coordinated, as if they were carved out of the same mold.

Most of the ambassadors standing behind the viewing platform couldn't help but applaud the strict discipline of the French army after seeing such a uniform movement.

Only a few ambassadors were dismissive of the actions of the Guards grenadier regiment, including the Russian ambassador, who dismissed the actions of the grenadier regiment as a "shelf division".

The current Russian ambassador does not know that this so-called "shelf division" in his mouth will defeat several times the Russian imperial army in the subsequent Crimean War, and be the first to occupy the Sevastopol fortress. team.

And for Rifat, the ambassador of the Ottoman delegation, nothing excites him more than now.

The actions of the French Empire are undoubtedly showing him what a world-class powerful army is. With such pace and action, Rifat can be sure that the whole of Russia... no, it should be said that there is no army in the whole of Europe that can be like that. so.

If every army in France can be like this one, then there will be no one in this world that can rival France.

Of course, according to the number issued by the unit, this unit should be the most elite unit of the French Empire, and not all units can be like this unit.

Even so, Rifat Pasha was also optimistic about the army of the French Empire.

No matter what the cost, make an alliance with France!

Rifat decided in his heart to say to himself.

After the Guards Grenadier Regiment left, the next thing was the special show of the 1st Military District of the Seine Province.

More than 200 soldiers from the 1st (division commander) military region's first brigade, who were in charge of reviewing, entered the field under the leadership of Brigadier General Trosch, the commander of the military region's brigade.

Just watching the first regiment staring at the front with high enthusiasm, in the suspicious eyes of everyone on the viewing platform, the interval between each row of troops began to expand, until the distance between the front and the rear of the team was about 0.5m, and then did the troop stand out. stop.

Then, the most shocking scene of the military parade appeared.

"Prepare!" I saw Trosch, who was standing on the side of the army, shouted out his command knife.

More than 200 soldiers carried the Mignet guns on their shoulders and dragged them in their hands.

They don't want to...

Standing on the stage, Jerome Bonaparte suddenly remembered the scene in the documentary of the military parade of later generations. He remembered that he had spoken to Conrobert and others before.

Did they really succeed?

With some doubts, Jerome Bonaparte and the confused ambassadors continued to look down.

"put!"

After Trosch's second order was issued, the most shocking scene appeared.

More than 200 soldiers made a unified action of preparing to stab, and put the bayonet at the muzzle of the gun close to the back of the previous person. One is at risk of death.

This requires a tacit understanding of the team to complete. This carefully selected 200-person army has obviously reached this standard.

After Trosch's order was issued, the soldier looked at the distance between himself and the front row, and also used his peripheral vision to observe whether the distance between himself and the person next to him was the same.

The entire troop pressed forward, and the ambassadors and generals on the viewing platform stared at everything in front of them. They never thought that one day they would hold their breath to appreciate the military parade.

Even the ambassadors of the Russian Empire, who were originally dismissive of the French Empire's army, couldn't help but worry about the Russian Empire at this moment. Can they really defeat the army in front of them?

Everyone on the viewing platform briefly forgot to breathe and forget everything, until the 1st Brigade parade personnel completely put away their rifles and left the viewing platform, and returned the same way.

Under the guidance of a certain general, the ambassadors and generals on the viewing platform burst into thunderous noises. Seeing this, Jerome Bonaparte also applauded the bold behavior of the first brigade.

You must know that if there is a mistake in the military parade, everyone from Conrobel to the regiment commander will be severely punished, and the soldiers participating in the military parade will also die.

However, they won't be blamed for their success. Instead, they will receive applause from the audience and awards from Jérôme Bonaparte.

After the end of the first brigade, the second brigade and the third brigade sent three times more people than the first brigade to participate in the military parade. Although the number was larger than the first brigade, the shock it brought was far less than the first brigade. , all in all, it's pretty mediocre.

After all the elite troops have been reviewed, the next is the soldiers of the other troops of the Senasheng Military Region. These soldiers also shouted the slogan "Long Live the Empire!" under the leadership of the regiment commander with a positive attitude.

Without passing an army, Jerome Bonaparte always takes off his hat.

The entire military parade lasted for nearly two hours. When the last artillery unit to be reviewed appeared, it meant that all the military parade items had ended.

Each 12-pounder Napoleon bronze gun was pulled into the parade venue by two horses, and everyone was once again surprised by the caliber of the Napoleon gun.

However, no one was shocked by this. There are too many large-caliber artillery pieces in this era, and most of them are bulky and have relatively close shooting distances.

In their eyes, the Big Napoleon was at best a miniature version of the 24-pound siege gun, and their range was not even as good as that of the Napoleon.

"France is doing nothing but useless work!" The Russian ambassador in the crowd sneered at the French artillery when he seized the opportunity: "Artillery with less power and range like this~www.readwn.com~If you use On the battlefield, I'm afraid it will make people laugh out loud."

The Swedish envoy standing next to the Russian ambassador just smiled and ignored the Russian ambassador.

The self-seeking ambassador of the Russian Empire could only curse Jerome Bonaparte in his heart, and at the same time he set his sights on Rifat.

At this time, Rifat was still staring at the Napoleon cannon intently, for fear of missing every detail.

The subconscious in the haze told him that it must be a good thing that this gun can be taken out on this occasion.

The departure of the artillery unit heralded the complete end of the military parade. Afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte made another parting speech, and the teams from the Chateauly area began to take over.

Under the leadership of the heads of various departments, the troops went to formulate low-key meals one after another. Garlic sausage, cold chicken and watered champagne became the main meals of the soldiers.

Jerome Bonaparte and others came to the castle for dinner again.
