The sun never sets.

"Well, our goal at this stage is to build China into an industrial country, but we also have to respect the traditions of nomadic peoples."

In [The Sun Never Sets in the Celestial Empire], nomadic states can get a lot of points by burning land. Political, diplomatic and military points can be added very quickly, so nomadic states generally don't lack points. As long as the snowball starts rolling, they will keep fighting all the way. China needs a variety of advanced technologies to develop, from electric furnace steelmaking to gantry cranes, from machinery manufacturing to chemical synthesis. Some of these technologies can be imported from foreign countries, but it costs a lot of money and will inevitably be strangled by others. Some technologies are not even available in the UK, so they can only be bought with points. Since this is the case, let Li Dayan lead the troops to burn the land, which can also be regarded as supporting the country's construction.

In addition, Alexander Lin Romanov Nicholas has triggered several "Childlike Fun" events and "Curious About the World" events during his growth, which can also bring a lot of points. In order to get more points to support national construction, Marshal Lin Yong decided to have more children. After continuous efforts, Wuyun Qiqige and Guan Xiaotong are both pregnant. It doesn't matter whether it is a boy or a girl, boys and girls are the same.

After Lin Yongchang's explanation, Li Dayan knew what he should do. Although it was not in line with the core values of the People's Party, the people in Central Asia could not understand the People's Party's program, so they could only be dealt with by force first, and then educate them properly. It is now 1905. The US military is carrying out the "Three Alls" and "Village and Village Merger" in the Philippines. The British government has suppressed Ireland again and again. The world has not yet entered an era that requires love and peace.

"Go and clean up the Western Regions first, then lead the troops to the west. If you can't continue the fight, come back to the General Staff."

"What if we can keep fighting? Where is the end line?"

War is always easy to start, but often difficult to end. Li Dayan needs to know where the boundaries of war are.

"There is no end line. If possible, we will fight all the way to the sea!"

The hegemony of the Crescent Church has declined, and Muslims have gone from being an advanced civilization to being a synonym for backwardness and ignorance. Hundreds of years ago, in the "Reconquista" movement, the Muslim world lost the Iberian Peninsula, and since then, the power of the Crescent Church has been declining. The Ottoman Turks were beaten to the ground again and again by the Tsarist Russia. If it were not for the support of Britain, France and other countries, the Tsarist Russian army would have recovered Constantinople long ago.

"I understand. I will lead my troops to the Western Regions tomorrow!"

Li Dayan was ready to make a big move in the Western Regions. He was from Handan and his family had some land, so he had money to study. But he didn't like reading very much. Things like the Four Books and the Five Classics were not to his taste. Only "Records of the Grand Historian" and "Book of Han" could get him into it. The person he admired most was the champion marquis Huo Qubing, who traveled thousands of miles, rampaged through the Xiongnu, sealed the Wolf's Lair, and climbed the vast sea. This is what a man should do! He was much older than Huo Qubing, but he still had the passion and romance of a teenager.

"Don't be so anxious, just attend the founding ceremony first. I tell you, this will go down in history. Now that we have cameras, our appearance will be photographed.

After a few decades or a hundred years, people who come after us will be able to see it too!"

"Isn't this Lingyan Pavilion?"

Li Dayan thought of the historical heroes in Lingyan Pavilion and Yuntai, and then thought of another thing, "The Central Military Commission is going to select the five great generals, who are they?"

"Don't worry, there will definitely be one for you."

In addition to his military exploits in the Liberation War, Li Dayan also fought two wars against France. Although Wu Peifu led the troops on the front line in the first war, it should also be credited to Li Dayan. With these two victories in foreign wars, he could naturally be promoted from lieutenant general to general. As for marshal, only Lin Yongchang himself had held the position.

Li Dayan was satisfied when he heard that he would be promoted to general this time. He had no special interest in wealth and beauty, nor did he care much about fame and power, but he was a general of the Republic, and he thought he deserved that resounding title. Liu Chengxiang, Zhao Bi and others thought that Li Dayan had taken advantage of knowing Chairman Lin for a long time, which was why he was able to hold a high position. Li Dayan thought that those bastards were not very capable, but they were very arrogant. Li Dayan actually didn't care much about being promoted to general or not, but he couldn't let Liu Chengxiang and those bastards look down on him!

Chapter 427: The Kaiser

After letting Li Dayan toss around in Central Asia for two years, he should know that returning to the central government is the best choice. The railway has only been built to Baoji, and the central government cannot support a large army to fight in the Western Regions for a long time. If we grit our teeth, we can do it, but what about the "Five-Year Plan"?

Burning the land is just a side job. If we can liberate a few Stans or something, that's great, but the main thing is to stop Li Dayan from doing this. As one of the founders of the party and the army, Li Dayan should play a greater role in the central government. As for the things in the Western Regions, I believe Li Dayan will handle them well. Meng En has already gone to the Western Regions... Well, he also came back to participate in the founding ceremony.

The fighting power of the Islamic world is getting worse and worse. In other words, it is not that their fighting power has weakened, but that the world's military power has expanded too fast, while the Islamic world is still living in the past. Lin Yongchang is not worried that the Muslims will cause a big turmoil like the previous dynasty, because the times have changed. Even if there is support from Britain or Russia behind them, the fighting power of the Muslims is still very poor.

The most important thing now is not to quell the rebellion. The local garrison can deal with the Green Christian rebels. The upcoming "National Day" is the top priority. Workers and farmers, as well as government staff and others have been mobilized, and the entire city of Taiyuan has become a fiery world. Red flags are hung everywhere, as if the city is burning. The people mobilized by the people's government participated in the vigorous movement, cleaning Taiyuan again and again. Enthusiastic smiling faces can be seen everywhere, and the city is emitting unimaginable fiery emotions.

Countless people came to Taiyuan by train, carriage, or simply on foot. Three days before October 1st, the population of Taiyuan doubled, which put heavy pressure on the gendarmerie and police departments. Taiyuan Mayor Wang Hai had to ask the central government to send troops to the city to maintain order. This was easy to do. The most people around Taiyuan were workers and soldiers. Nearly 300,000 soldiers would attend the ceremony. Just randomly dispatch a troop.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the founding ceremony, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Political Security Bureau, the National Security Bureau and the General Staff Department sent a large number of personnel to conduct investigations and surveys. Thanks to China's household registration tradition, the investigation and survey work went smoothly. The permanent and temporary residents in each street, compound and community were clearly checked, and several groups of spies and secret agents who intended to sabotage were actually found. Looking at the 82mm mortar parts that were searched out, the comrades of the Ministry of Internal Affairs could not help but break out in a cold sweat. If a shell fell on the tower on October st.........

"Investigate! We must investigate thoroughly!"

There are too many people coming to Taiyuan, which brings great trouble to the work of various departments. But no matter how troublesome it is, we have to check again and again, and absolutely cannot leave any hidden dangers.

In addition to Chinese, there were many foreigners who came to Taiyuan to attend the founding ceremony, including the Japanese Emperor Taisho, the President of North Korea, the Grand Duke of Siberia, and people from Asian countries such as Ryukyu and Mongolia. Great powers such as Britain, the United States, and France also sent a large number of people to Taiyuan. It is said that hundreds of thousands of soldiers will participate in the founding ceremony of the Chinese people. This is the best time to observe the Chinese army up close, which will allow countries to more accurately assess China's military strength.

Among European and American countries, Britain, France, the United States and other countries all sent some diplomats, military attachés and journalists. Only Germany was the most special. Kaiser Wilhelm II took the battleship "Thuringia" to Qingdao, and then came to Taiyuan, ready to personally attend the founding ceremony of the Chinese people. This super-standard treatment caused a lot of ridicule in Europe, thinking that the German emperor was too cheap and rushed to show his support to the Chinese. Even in Germany, there were some voices of opposition. The German newspaper "Die Welt" said that "Germany should pay more attention to Morocco instead of distant China."

But it was not easy for William II to change his mind. When the Maxim machine gun first came out, the stubborn and conservative Junker officers refused to equip this heavy and bullet-wasting weapon. William II paid for 200 Maxim machine guns for his Guards Regiment out of his own pocket.

A series of battles proved that William II was right and the machine gun was a groundbreaking weapon that could change the form of war.

The Times mocked William II for supporting a yellow nation, but William II thought the British were all idiots. The German emperor was very angry about the British government's support for France during the Moroccan crisis, and his opinion of the British took a sharp turn for the worse. What's wrong with the yellow race? As long as they can help Germany break the encirclement set up by Britain, France and Russia, that's fine!

If the Chinese could attack Russia from the east, Germany would not have to worry about being attacked by the French and Russian armies. If coming to China a few times could make China lean towards Germany, William II would not mind coming once a year until China and Germany concluded a military alliance. Kaiser Wilhelm II came to the East with the dreadnought to test the British, but the British government was not as stupid as the Showa staff, and did not do anything to prevent the German fleet from passing through the Suez Canal. In addition, the most important idea of William II was to continue to strengthen naval cooperation with China.

The German Navy has always held on to the ancestral 280mm cannon. If it weren't for William II's insistence, Germany's third dreadnought might have used 280mm 45-caliber main guns. Using new shells can increase penetration, but new shells can also be used for larger caliber guns!

German engineers have always said that they cannot build 13.5-inch naval guns, but according to reliable information, the British have already developed it. If the British use 13.5-inch guns on the next dreadnought and Germany is still using 12-inch guns, Germany will lose the naval advantage it has worked so hard to get. Although many people say that the German Navy has been surpassed by the Royal Navy, William II stubbornly believes that things have not reached that point yet and Germany still has the advantage.

They already have a complete set of blueprints for the "Super Dreadnought - Kaiser Wilhelm Class". As long as they can build the 15-inch 42-caliber main gun, Germany will still be the leader in the navy. The other subsystems are almost there, but they can still be used. As long as the 16 15-inch guns can be built, the Kaiser Wilhelm-class super dreadnought battleship will be the most formidable war machine in the world!

Chapter 428 Ludendorff

“Have all the Chinese fled to Taiyuan?”

After getting off the carriage, William II complained to Ludendorff: "The streets are full of people. We have been stuck on the road for two hours!"

Erich von Ludendorff was a typical Junker. He attended the Army Junior School at the age of 12. After graduating from the Army Officer School in his twenties, he joined the army and was awarded the rank of second lieutenant. After serving in the army for nearly ten years, he was admitted to the Berlin Army Military Academy, which destined him to be a general officer in the future. As long as his luck was not too bad. After graduating from the Berlin Army Military Academy, Ludendorff joined the General Staff and was highly appreciated by the Chief of the General Staff, Alfred von Schlieffen.

If nothing had happened in the Far East, Ludendorff would have worked in the General Staff for a long time, then been released to lead troops, and then moved up the career ladder. It should have been like this, but the People's Party appeared in this world. After the People's Army defeated the Eight-Nation Alliance, it established a connection with Germany, and Germany at that time became interested in the People's Army in the Far East. When the People's Army and the Russians fought in the Northeast, the Germans became even more interested.

In order to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the army, Lin Yongchang thought of many ways, and the establishment of a general staff was one of them. The People's Party invited professionals from Germany to help China establish its own general staff. Ludendorff, who was just an ordinary staff officer at the time, was sent to China. It is impossible to let Mr. Alfred Schlieffen come to China, right? Of course, a group of people can only be selected from the general staff.

After Ludendorff and his colleagues came to China, they worked diligently and made great contributions to the construction of the People's Army. Their abilities and work attitudes were impeccable, but they loved to promote German weapons. Are German cannons and battleships good? They are definitely good, but they are also definitely expensive. Ludendorff and his colleagues said in a serious manner that German weapons were the best in the world and worth the price. However, Marshal Lin only bought rifles and did not even want German helmets. Later, after buying several second-hand production lines, he even stopped buying rifles.

Although Ludendorff always promoted German weapons, Lin Yongchang still trusted General Feng. Germany was called "the army with a country", and Ludendorff served in the German Army. They had to find a way to complete the tasks assigned by the superiors. Erich Ludendorff only promoted them, but unless the price was cut in half, the People's Party would not buy German weapons at all. As long as they could produce it themselves, Marshal Lin did not want to spend a penny.

"Taiyuan usually has a lot of people, but not as many as in the past few days."

Ludendorff said: "Your Majesty, China has 450 million people, which is seven times the population of Germany!"

"What a terrible number!" Kaiser Wilhelm II walked into the embassy surrounded by officers. "When can I meet President Lin of China?"

"Sorry, Your Majesty, I didn't know."

"Aren't you his military advisor?"

It is true that Ludendorff was a military advisor, but he was only a military advisor. President Lin had too many things to take care of. Ludendorff often did not see President Lin for months and months, and did not know where he was. Many times, he only knew that President Lin had visited the stone mines in northern Shaanxi after reading the newspaper.

Chemical plant, or where he went to comfort the railway workers. He explained the reason to His Majesty the Emperor and distinguished that it was not that they did not try hard to promote German weapons, "President Lin likes cheap and easy-to-use weapons, and the People's Army is a defensive army, they will not pursue hegemony."

"Humph, they won't pursue hegemony? They don't need to pursue hegemony!"

Kaiser Wilhelm II suffered from Erb's palsy, which caused his left arm to atrophy. After being baptized in the Peace Church in Potsdam, the series of medical and sports treatments that followed not only failed to achieve the desired effect, but left him with pain and suffering that he could not forget many years later. This made Wilhelm II very sensitive, and he often jumped back and forth between arrogance and inferiority.

The People's Government attached great importance to the visit of German Emperor Wilhelm II. This was the first great power monarch to visit China, and a real monarch, not a nominal monarch like the Queen of England. After Wilhelm II arrived in Taiyuan, the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Government quickly contacted the relevant personnel of the German Embassy and said that they could reserve a seat for the German emperor in the audience of the founding ceremony, right next to the Japanese emperor. When the ceremony is over, Chairman Lin will meet His Majesty Wilhelm as soon as possible.

Hearing the conversation downstairs, William II came out from the hallway and stood on the second floor, staring at the young Chinese diplomat. Tang Shaoyi was not young. He was born in 1862 and was now in his forties. However, he looked young and looked more than ten years younger than his actual age. Compared with the old men in power in Germany, he was definitely a young man.

Tang Shaoyi heard the noise on the second floor, looked up, and saw William II in gorgeous military uniform and a group of German officers beside him. He had never seen William II, but he had seen his portrait and the appearance of the German emperor in the newspaper. So he took off his hat and saluted, "Chairman Lin asked me to say hello to His Majesty the German Emperor."

The translator translated Tang Shaoyi's words into German, and William II nodded reservedly, "Please convey the German Emperor's greetings to President Lin for me."

After Tang Shaoyi left, William II asked Ludendorff again, "I heard that Chinese generals are all very young?"

"Yes."

Ludendorff was very envious of this. The German Army was very strong, known as the world's number one army. The quality of the Junker Officer Corps was very high, but there were too many Junker officers, and the positions above were limited. If you want to be promoted to a general, you must first study all the way from the Army Junior School, then serve in the army for a long time, and be familiar with various military orders in the General Staff. You must work in various positions for several years before you have the opportunity to become a general. Doing so can ensure that Germany's generals are very good, but it may not be a good thing for Junker officers. Even if you are a natural talent, you have to slowly grind in various positions. By the time you become a general, you are already in your fifties or sixties.

Look at the People's Army, with its twenty-year-old field marshals, and its generals and lieutenant generals in their twenties and thirties. Compared with the German army, the generals of the People's Army seem too young.

"An ancient country, a young army." William II stroked his mustache, "Can you arrange for me to meet President Lin in advance?"

"You can ask the Ambassador to submit an application, but please forgive me, Your Majesty, this is unlikely to succeed. The People's Party is very disciplined and principled, and will not change the arranged plan without special reasons."

"Not even the German Emperor?"

Ludendorff did not answer, but his silence was the best answer.

Chapter 429 Wang Changhao’s Cat

In March, Mr. Einstein published "A Speculative View on the Generation and Transformation of Light" in the German "Annals of Physics", proposing for the first time that light has both wave and particle properties. Four months later, this article appeared in the school journal of the National University of Defense Technology.

Wang Changhao had just finished reading the paper when he was informed by Director Huang that Ah Huang was missing. "Why won't we meet again?"

"When the fleet was docked at the port, someone said they saw Ah Huang running away with a little female cat."

"what?"

Wang Changhao was surprised at first, but then he realized that this was normal. When the wild cats around the school are in heat, they scream so loudly that sometimes people can't sleep in the middle of the night. Since Ah Huang is a cat, of course he would run away with the little female cat. This is reasonable. But Ah Huang is so timid, will he be bullied by other cats after running away? Alas, I don't know if he is still alive now. Maybe he is still alive, or maybe he is dead.

Wang Changhao was depressed, but he had no other choice but to go on with his life. Influenced by Einstein's article, Wang Changhao proposed a hypothesis: "Since light has the dual nature of wave and particle, does matter also have the dual nature of wave and particle?"

Based on the mass-energy equation and quantum equation, he derived the formula for matter waves, namely: "The energy of a physical particle is E, the momentum is p, and the frequency ν and wavelength λ of the wave associated with them are related by E=mc^2=hν; p=mv=h/λ"

Later, while rubbing the gasoline engine with his hands, Wang Changhao extended the wave function to other fields, proposed the "uncertainty principle", and expanded the energy quantization proposed by Planck. But for China at that time, quantum mechanics was obviously too advanced. The teacher at the National University of Defense Technology said to

After studying Wang Changhao's paper for several days, they said they couldn't understand it. The principal arranged a public lecture for Wang Changhao to answer questions in public, but even so, there were still very few people who could fully understand it. To be precise, only three people could understand it, but they still didn't fully accept it.

Director Huang was sitting at the back of the classroom at the time, and he felt like he was listening to a foreign language. After all these years of study, he knew all the letters on the blackboard, but he didn't know what they meant when they were put together. Director Huang, who was over 40 years old, was very shocked and began to wonder if he was too stupid. But when he saw that most of the people around him were also at a loss, he finally felt better. It turned out that he was not too stupid, but because Wang was too smart.

In order to better explain quantum mechanics, Wang Changhao wrote another easy-to-understand article called "Wang Changhao's Cat". This is a thought experiment that was not actually carried out. The general content is as follows:

"A cat is locked in a sealed container containing a small amount of radium and cyanide. There is a probability that the radium will decay. If the radium decays, it will trigger a mechanism to break the bottle containing cyanide, and the cat will die; if the radium does not decay, the cat will survive.

According to quantum mechanics, since radioactive radium is in a superposition of decay and non-decay, the cat should be in a superposition of dead and alive. This cat that is both dead and alive is the so-called "Schrödinger's cat." However, it is impossible for a cat to be both dead and alive. The result can only be known after the box is opened.

"Wang Changhao's Cat" is much easier to understand than a bunch of mathematical equations. Teachers and students all said: "Wouldn't it be better if it was written like this earlier?" Uncertainty Principle

This made Wang Changhao laugh and cry. He used the "cat" hypothesis to actually raise a question: Is it true that "in the microscopic world, observers cause the wave function to collapse"? Is it because the observation method is not advanced enough? How to explain the contradiction between the uncertainty of the microscopic world and the stability of the eigenstate in the macroscopic world?

He himself did not figure out these questions clearly. When he used the "cat" as an assumption, he thought of Ah Huang and Chairman Lin's "black cat, white cat". Wang Changhao wanted someone to disagree with him and find the shortcomings in his inference, but the result was completely different from what he expected.

Just when Wang was about to think more deeply about this issue, it was already September. At this time, the whole city of Taiyuan was almost boiling over the founding ceremony, so Wang Changhao put aside the "black cat, white cat, yellow cat" and joined the general cleaning and the "four pests" campaign. In addition, the activity of catching spies was also warmly welcomed by students. Several universities set up volunteer teams, and some people joined the patrol teams in the streets and communities.

After much effort, Wang Changhao became a member of the National University of Defense Technology patrol team. He and several classmates patrolled around the campus with rifles on their backs. When they saw suspicious people, they would go up to check their letters of introduction.

A few days passed quickly, and it was the early morning of October 1. The military and police inside and outside Taiyuan City made up for it. The troops participating in the military parade began to enter the city at 3 o'clock in the morning. More than 100,000 troops and a large amount of heavy equipment entered the designated positions.

Before dawn, the streets were already crowded with people. Wang Changhao and his friends held flags and entered the designated position. Looking up, they could see the red flags with hammers and sickles everywhere. Some flags were hung on buildings, and some were held in people's hands. Many families embroidered the red flags overnight. Women had to work during the day, and embroidered flags with needles and threads under oil lamps at night. In this heated atmosphere, those who often criticized the government in the past dared not say anything anymore. If they dared to complain again, they would be suppressed by the iron fist of justice.

People like Wu Zhihui and Zhang Jingjiang kept their mouths shut at this time. They were Sun Yat-sen's followers, and for Mr. Sun's sake, the people's government tolerated some of their outrageous remarks. When Lin Yongchang saw things like "China only has dictatorship, not democracy" and "China's future can only be achieved if the two parties take turns in power," he just laughed it off.

But this was the founding ceremony, and the people's fiery emotions seemed to melt the city. Some people had already been beaten up by the crowd for speaking rudely, but Wu Zhihui, Cai Yuanpei and others knew what was happening, especially after hearing that a number of spies had been captured and mortars had been found, they quickly cut ties with certain people and forces and distanced themselves from the matter. This disappointed the comrades in the Ministry of State Security, who had originally wanted to take this opportunity to arrest Wu Zhihui, Cai Yuanpei and others for trial.

Chairman Lin had been suppressing various intelligence departments and did not allow the public security department to torture and extract confessions. Every rectification campaign started from within the People's Party, so the reactionaries in Taiyuan thought they could do whatever they wanted. During the founding ceremony, the central government was determined to clean up Taiyuan, but Wu Zhihui and Cai Yuanpei retreated. Not many big fish were caught, and the comrades in the public security and security departments only caught some small fry.

Chapter 430 Ceremony

Starting at six o'clock, the radio began to play the People's Army's military song and the People's Government's national anthem over and over again, with only the tune but no lyrics. The national anthem, like the military song, was also "written" by Lin Yongchang. Since we are adhering to the principle of taking what is useful, why not take more?

The outer city of Taiyuan has been demolished, and the inner city has almost been demolished.

The remaining short paragraph came in handy today. Several members of the Central Committee and five generals of the military all stood on the tower, while the other lieutenant generals, major generals, non-party members, foreign friends, etc. could only stand on the viewing platform below. At 7:50, the announcer began to read the script that had been written in advance. But no one cared about what the announcer said. Everyone wanted to listen to Chairman Lin’s speech or see the troops participating in the parade.

The "Military Parade Plan" "written" by Lin Yongchang was basically copied from his homework, organizing the military parade according to the procedures of the military parade and the parade. The military parade was held in a static state, with the troops on parade lined up on both sides of the long street with Taiyuan East City Tower as the center, to receive the review of Marshal Lin. The parade was held while marching, with the troops on parade passing through Taiyuan East City Tower from east to west in turn, receiving the review of Chairman Lin, Premier Wang and other central leaders, and then crossing Taiyuan City and returning to the camp.

A military parade can show a country's organizational ability. The organization and mobilization of tens of millions of people is a very tedious task. If a military parade can be held well, the logistics of hundreds of thousands of troops can also be organized. In today's war, there are more and more troops, and organizational ability is becoming more and more important. In peacetime, a country's military strength can be glimpsed through a military parade. In addition, through close contact, you can also see the weapons and equipment and mental state of an army. The level of combat effectiveness is nothing more than looking at weapons and people. It is unquestionable that the People's Army is brave and good at fighting, so we have to look at the equipment of the People's Army.

Accompanied by the majestic and heroic military songs, infantry squares came from afar to the east tower. The uniform footsteps stepped on the ground, making a sound like a torrential rain. In the People's Army, the [Guards] was formed relatively late, but since its formation, it has participated in every major battle and played a decisive role many times, so they were the first to appear. An infantry square has 25 people on the front and 14 rows in depth, plus two leaders in front of the square, a total of 352 people, less than the strength of a battalion.

But even this [Guards], which consisted of less than a battalion, had a steel-like toughness. The announcer quickly introduced the history of the [Guards], focusing on the raid on Hanoi and the capture of Saigon. He only briefly mentioned the battles between the Russian and Japanese armies, without going into detail. Among the foreign friends who attended the ceremony were Emperor Taisho and Grand Duke Olga, who were now either allies or vassals, and the people's government still had to give them some face.

Kaiser Wilhelm II stood on the viewing platform, holding a telescope and looking into the distance, and saw a jungle of steel rising and falling, which was almost as strict and austere as the German Army. He watched for a while, put down the telescope, and said to Ludendorff beside him: "The pace of the Chinese army is very similar to ours."

His voice was so loud that the people around him could not hear it clearly. Ludendorff answered just as loudly: "Yes, Your Majesty! The Chinese army calls their training steps "marching steps", and we Germans call them "goose steps"!"

William II thought about it and felt that the term "goose step" was very vivid.

The Germans were discussing loudly, and the British, French, Americans, Japanese and other spectators were also discussing. Emperor Taisho and Emperor Meiji had both reviewed the Japanese Army. Compared with the Japanese Army, the People's Army was murderous and looked very ferocious. But it could also be because the Japanese Army was defeated so badly in Korea and Outer Manchuria, so they felt this way.

The Japanese government sent a large delegation to observe the ceremony. In addition to Emperor Taisho and Emperor Meiji, there were also many army officers, including Akiyama Saneyuki, Fumio Funakoshi, Miura Goro and Torio Koyata, but Ito Hirobumi did not come. So many people came, in addition to observing the strength of China and the People's Army, the main purpose was to conduct diplomatic activities. In order to make peace with China, the Japanese government paid a great price, including allowing Ryukyu to re-establish its country and establishing the Ainu Principality in Hokkaido. Ryukyu is fine, but Hokkaido is regarded as its homeland by Japan. After paying a huge price to defeat the French Far East Fleet, the Japanese believed that they could take Hokkaido back.

In addition, Japan needs more technology transfer and hopes to achieve zero tariffs between China and Japan, just like China, North Korea and the Grand Duchy of Siberia. They also want China to make more economic concessions, which is a bit too much, but it won't get pregnant if you try, just in case China agrees.

After the [Guards] came the other meritorious troops and the infantry phalanx of the [Yulin Army]. The [Yulin Army] was formed even earlier and only participated in one war, which was the second war between Southeast Asia and the French. The announcer once again emphasized how the various troops beat the French...

Fortunately, most French diplomats do not understand Chinese, otherwise their expressions would be more than just serious.

After the 15 infantry squares, there were heavy machine gun squares and mortar squares, followed by cavalry squares, militia squares, Red Guard squares, worker picket squares, and sailor squares, and finally the artillery squares. The cannons were polished to a shine and were dragged by heavy draft horses past the East City Tower. Due to the weight, the largest caliber of the cannons pulled out was only 150mm, and those 280mm giant howitzers did not appear.

Troops came from afar, passed through the East City Tower, and then left. 24 infantry squares, 10 cavalry squares, 4 heavy machine gun squares, 6 mortar squares and mountain artillery squares, a total of more than troops all passed through the East City Tower and entered the founding of the country.

The last part of the ceremony was a speech by Chairman Lin. The content of the speech was very simple, with only two sentences, one was "The Central People's Government was established", and the other was "The Chinese people have stood up since then."

These two sentences were very simple and powerful. Three hundred thousand soldiers and millions of people heard Chairman Lin's brief speech on the radio. After he finished speaking, Lin Yongchang stood on the city wall and waved to the crowd below, and immediately there was a landslide-like shout.

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

China no longer had an emperor, but the people had no better words to express their passionate emotions except to shout "Long live the emperor". The deafening shouts seemed to turn the city of Taiyuan upside down. Even decades later, those who had participated in the ceremony still clearly remembered the cheers that were like a landslide, a tsunami, and thunder.
