Make France Great Again

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

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

After all the barrels were loaded with special shells, the commander of the artillery unit straightened his forearm at 90 degrees to his upper arm and shouted loudly: "Ready!"

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

"Let go!" Following the command from the artillery commander, almost all the artillerymen pulled hard at the same time, and the artillery shells shot out from the muzzle like wild horses at a speed exceeding the speed of sound. The powerful back seat allowed the support of the artillery base to The bracket dug hard into the ground.

The rumbling sound of the cannon appeared a few tenths of a second after the cannonball flew out of the muzzle. Jérôme Bonaparte, who was far away in the parade ground, understood that the twelve-pound bronze cannon, which symbolized the pinnacle of the muzzleloader cannon, had already blasted the smoke screen shells. 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 air density. The military parade officially began with the sound of gun salutes and bugles.

Just as the invited audience (ambassadors from various countries) were speculating on the type of artillery, a team of new-style soldiers wearing sky-blue buttoned military uniforms (with silver breastplates on the outside), black steel helmets with feathers on their heads, and command knives and portable pistols were slung around their waists. The French cavalry appeared first, and they were Jérôme Bonaparte's most loyal men - the French Royal Guards Dragoons.

This Guards cavalry originated in the Republic, flourished in the First Empire, and then collapsed in the restoration of Bourbon. Reborn through the hands of the Emperor of the Second Empire.

The silver breastplate radiated dazzlingly under the lazy sunlight. Each of the royal dragoons arrived at Jérôme Bonaparte's viewing platform with full enthusiasm and uniform steps.

"Long live Napoleon, long live the Empire!"

The Dragoons of the Guards, led by their brigade commander, General Pellissier, skillfully shouted slogans that had been rehearsed countless times.

Jérôme Bonaparte, who stood silently on the stage, smiled after hearing the shouts of the Dragoons. He took off the triangular hat (also known as the Great Napoleon Hat) on his head. ), wave my hat to these loyal warriors.

The Guards Dragoons slowly left the viewing platform under the leadership of Pellissier, followed closely by the Guards Grenadier troops led by Imperial Brigadier General Leboeuf.

"Long live Napoleon! Long live the Empire!"

The grenadier, wearing a tall velvet military cap and carrying a minie gun, also expressed due respect to Jérôme Bonaparte with enthusiasm.

This group of soldiers who have been carefully selected to join the military parade formation are all very similar in height and build. Looking in from the side, you can only see the first person in the row. What is even more valuable is their step distance, The height of the raised legs is also so coordinated, as if they were carved from the same mold.

After seeing such uniform movements, most of the ambassadors standing behind the viewing platform couldn't help but praise the strict discipline of the French army.

Only a few ambassadors were dismissive of the actions of the Guards Grenadier Regiment. Among them, the Russian ambassador disdainfully called the actions of the Grenadier Regiment a "shelf division."

The current Russian ambassador does not know that the so-called "Arch Division" he calls will defeat several times the Russian Imperial Army in the subsequent Crimean War, and will be the first to occupy the Sevastopol Fortress. Team.

For Rifat, the ambassador of the Ottoman Empire, nothing excites him more than now.

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

If every army in France can be like this army, then no one in the world will be France's opponent.

Of course, judging from the numbers issued by the troops, this troop should be the most elite troop in the French Empire. Not all troops can be like this troop in front of them.

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

No matter what the cost, we must ally with France!

Rifat made up his mind and said to himself.

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

More than 200 soldiers from the 1st Brigade of the 1st (Division Commander) Military Region were responsible for the review. They entered the scene under the leadership of Brigadier General Trosch, the brigade commander of the military region.

Just look at the first group looking forward with high-spirited passion. Under the doubtful eyes of everyone on the viewing platform, the distance between each row of troops began to widen. It did not stop until the distance between the front and rear of the team was about 100%. .

Immediately afterwards, the most shocking scene in the military parade appeared.

"Get ready!" Trochu, who was standing on one side of the army, drew out his command knife and shouted.

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

Gu Shi/span, they don’t want to...

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

Did they really succeed?

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

"put!"

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

More than 200 soldiers made unified preparations for stabbing, placing the bayonets of their guns very close to the back of the person in front. This means that as long as the person behind is slightly faster, the person in front will One person is at risk of death.

This requires sufficient tacit teamwork to complete. This carefully selected 200-man unit obviously meets this standard.

After Trochu's order was given, the soldier looked at the distance between himself and the front row, and also used his peripheral vision to see whether the distance between himself and the person next to him was consistent.

The entire army marched forward at a tight pace. The ambassadors and generals on the viewing platform stared at everything in front of them in stunned silence. They never thought that one day they would hold their breath and watch the military parade.

Even the ambassador of the Russian Empire, who originally looked down upon the French Imperial Army, could not 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 everything else until the first brigade parade personnel completely put away their rifles and left the viewing platform and returned the same way.

The ambassadors and generals on the viewing platform erupted into thunderous sounds under the guidance of a certain general. Seeing this, Jérôme Bonaparte also applauded the bold behavior of the First Brigade.

You must know that if mistakes are made during the military parade, everyone from Canrobert to the regiment commander will be severely punished, and the soldiers participating in the military parade will also die as a result.

However, those who succeed will not suffer any criticism. On the contrary, they will receive applause from the auditorium and awards from Jérôme Bonaparte.

After the First Brigade, the Second and Third Brigades sent three times more people than the First Brigade to participate in the military parade. Although there were more people than the First Brigade, the shock they brought was far less than that of the First Brigade. , generally speaking, it is quite satisfactory.

After all the elite troops were reviewed, the next step was soldiers from other troops in the Senesen Military Region. These soldiers also shouted the slogan "Long Live the Empire!" under the leadership of the regiment commander with a positive attitude.

Before passing an army, Jérôme Bonaparte always took off his hat and saluted.

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

Each 12-pound bronze Napoleon cannon was pulled by two horses into the parade venue. Everyone was once again surprised by the caliber of the Napoleon cannon.

However, no one was shocked by this. There were too many large-caliber artillery in this era, and most of them were bulky and had a relatively short shooting range.

In their eyes, the Great Napoleon Cannon was at best a miniature version of the 24-pound siege cannon, and their range was even worse than that of the Napoleon Cannon.

"France is doing nothing but useless work!" The Russian ambassador in the crowd took the opportunity to taunt the French artillery units in a low voice: "If artillery with inferior power and range like this is used on the battlefield, I'm afraid It’ll make people laugh out loud.”

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

The ambassador of the Russian Empire, who was asking for trouble, could only curse Jerome Bonaparte in his heart and look for Shuyuan www.zhaｏｓhuyuan.com. At the same time, he set his sights on Rifat.

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

His hazy subconscious told him that this cannon must be a good thing if it can be taken out on such an occasion.

The departure of the artillery troops announced the complete end of the military parade. Later, Jérôme Bonaparte made another parting word, and the team from the Chateaurie area began to take over.

Under the leadership of the chiefs of each department, the troops went to plan a low-key meal one after another. Garlic sausage, cold chicken and watered champagne became the main meals of the soldiers.

Jérôme Bonaparte and others once again came to the castle to dine.
