The people of Ming Dynasty looked at Ming Dynasty's fighter jets and listened to the introduction on the radio, and they all cheered loudly with great excitement.
Most people's emotions are simple and pure happiness and excitement.
The mood of the representatives of the Thai and Western countries was much more complicated.
Especially the high-level royal family, bureaucrats, and generals...
William III looked at the fleet of aircraft in the sky in a daze:
"Ten thousand in total...all of them are combat aircraft...
“Our entire Prussian air force, including all fixed-wing combat aircraft, has almost the same number in total...
“There were 10,000 aircraft in the Ming Dynasty military parade?
"This can't be all the Ming Dynasty's aircraft..."
Gneisenau also moved his somewhat stiff neck and said:
"Of course it can't be all the planes, Ming's territory is too large...
“These 10,000 combat aircraft may just be the air force aircraft of one of the five major governors of the Ming Dynasty.
“According to what we have learned in advance, this kind of military parade is usually the responsibility of the Ming Dynasty’s Central Military Governor’s Office.
"The Chinese Army Governor's Office is the local army of the Ming Dynasty, and to a certain extent it can also be regarded as the Imperial Guard.
"The strength is the strongest among all the governor's mansions, but the overall size cannot account for one-third of the five major governor's mansions."
At this time, Prussian Prime Minister Stein said with some uncertainty:
"Will Ming Dynasty really bring out 10,000 combat aircraft to participate in the military parade?
“Will this put too much pressure on logistics supply and management, equipment and personnel scheduling?
"Is it possible that Ming Dynasty did not arrange 10,000 planes, but fewer planes flying in circles in the sky?
“After all, we can’t see where the plane takes off or where it ends up.
"Actually, only up to three thousand aircraft are needed to fly continuously in the sky."
William III said with a rather painful expression:
"I hope so. I hope that the Ming Dynasty Military Governor's Mansion will not be able to dispatch 10,000 planes..."
Gneisenau smiled bitterly and said:
"The possibility is really low. It would be shocking enough for Ming Dynasty to bring out 3,000 planes. There is no need to force the number of planes to 10,000.
"Since Ming Dynasty has publicly stated that it has dispatched 10,000 combat aircraft to participate in the military parade, it is basically impossible to fake it.
Stein said with a very serious expression:
"If there are really 10,000 aircraft, then Ming's ability to dispatch and use these 10,000 aircraft at the same time is more important than having these 10,000 aircraft."
Gneisenau continued to nod and said:
"Yes, the Prussian Air Force currently does not have this capability..."
Among the British representatives not far away, King George IV thought a little:
"If there really are a total of 10,000 planes...
"It might take more than two hours for all these planes to pass through the square at this speed, right?
"The entire military parade only lasts two hours..."
Arthur Wellesley looked up at the plane in the sky. His attention did not change at this time, and he expressed his approval from the bottom of his heart:
"This is indeed the case, so these aircraft may not be simply the aircraft being reviewed at all, they are also the background of the entire military parade...
"If nothing else happens, they will always pass through the sky, forming a river of airplanes..."
Nelson pointed to the ground in the distance and listened to the distant sounds:
"There is also a river of steel on the ground...
"The gap is too big. Not to mention the technical gap, the scale gap is already too big. We are not opponents at the same level at all..."
Wellesley is also shaking his head now:
"There is indeed a huge gap. The powerful dispatching and mobilization capabilities displayed by a military parade of this scale are beyond the reach of any other country."
George IV remained silent and had no illusions about Britain's future.
The organizational form and purpose of Zhu Jingyuan's military parade for his enthronement ceremony are very different from the military parades that Zhu Jingyuan often watched in his previous life.
According to Zhu Jingyuan's intention, there will be no demonstration of technical level or advanced technology this time.
It's pure direct power on display.
Relying on the quantity, scale, and sustainability of conventional equipment, they are stacked to form a suppressive effect that uses force to overcome skill.
Of course, this "not advanced" only refers to the technological frontier of Ming Dynasty, not to the technological level of the world.
The Ming Dynasty currently has propeller aircraft in its inventory, including piston propeller aircraft from previous years, which are still highly sought after by the countries in Europe and the West.
So the final result is to use similar products with stronger performance and better quality, forming an overwhelming scale.
The total number of various combat aircraft referred to is 10,000.
There are indeed so many aircraft that the Ming Dynasty Central Military Governor's Mansion can gather, so there is such an arrangement.
No need to fly the plane a few times to create visual effects…
Of course, they did do some planning and arrangements, rather than just going through the games in order.
The first batch of aircraft that the audience saw was a large fleet of one thousand single-engine propeller fighters organized by the Air Force.
This directly creates an impact effect that blocks out the sky and the sun.
After the single-engine fighter group, there are larger fighters, attack aircraft and bombers of various sizes, and transport, various types of aircraft.
Depending on the size and number of aircraft types, they are divided into small groups of twenty or thirty to more than one hundred aircraft, and pass through the sky above the parade square at the speed of one group per minute.
Each small fleet will be divided into groups ranging from a few to dozens of aircraft depending on the type of aircraft.
On average, a group of aircraft enters the parade square every ten seconds or so.
The propeller plane maintains a reduced speed, and it basically takes two to three minutes from entering the audience's field of vision to disappearing.
In this way, aircraft will continue to enter the field of view, and at the same time, aircraft will continue to leave the field of view.
These planes create the effect of flowing rivers in the sky.
This process will last about two hours.
The total planned time for this military parade is also about two hours.
So it is true that as George IV thought, there will be planes flying continuously in the sky throughout the military parade.
The planes arrived before the Army came on the scene, and disappeared after the Army withdrew.
They will become the protagonist and background of the entire military parade, rather than being specially displayed in a separate time period.
That's why the Air Force planes are scheduled to arrive before the Army arrives.
Otherwise, you can completely calculate the speed and distance in scheduling and arrange for the plane to arrive at a specific time.
At the same time, the army's tanks passing through the field were also arranged according to the same standards.
The first person to enter was the armored fighting vehicle group, and they also came out in a large, overwhelming mass.
And they did not pass slowly at the speed of an infantry parade, but crossed the parade ground at a rushing speed of thirty kilometers per hour.
Because the number of chariots participating in the military parade is also huge, or basically all of them are chariots.
According to Zhu Jingyuan's instructions, since the latest missiles and other weapons cannot be displayed in this military parade, the remaining good equipment basically belongs to "chariots."
These tanks were divided into three major types by the Ming Dynasty's military institutions.
The first is the heavily armored "self-propelled armored shield vehicle", which is similar to Zhu Jingyuan's combat tank in his previous life.
According to specifications and weight, it can be divided into different levels such as heavy duty and light duty.
The main task on the battlefield is to break through the defense line and launch a direct attack with the cooperation of infantry.
Then there is the "self-propelled infantry fighting vehicle", which is also a fighting vehicle in the traditional sense of the Ming Dynasty, and its functions are similar to the infantry fighting vehicles of previous generations.
According to different actual needs, there are wheeled and tracked designs, some are equipped with medium-caliber artillery, and some are equipped with 20mm heavy machine guns.
They are integrated weapons platforms and vehicles for elite infantry. Each vehicle usually carries a combat team and operates in conjunction with armored shield vehicles.
Finally, there are "bicycle vehicles", including military trucks, military cars, maintenance vehicles, and various specialized engineering vehicles for building bridges and paving roads.
These tanks are auxiliary vehicles. They do not have direct combat capabilities and are responsible for the logistics work of the first two.
Or transport a large number of conventional infantry to perform tasks requiring a large number of manpower.
All the infantry teams in this military parade entered the venue in these various types of vehicles.
Arrange armored fleets according to type, function, and combat organization, and cross the square at the speed of rushing to the battlefield.
There were no ordinary infantrymen walking or running at all.
Therefore, the pace of the entire military parade is very fast, almost like a normal training rush to the battlefield.
If there are not enough people, vehicles, and aircraft organized and the parade continues at this speed, the parade will end soon.
But Ming Dynasty's military parade will last for two hours normally.
Therefore, all the audiences, the nobles, officials and common people of the Ming Dynasty, the royal family, bureaucrats and scholars of the West, will continue to experience it here for two hours.
The mobilization and march of the army in the air and on the ground lasted for two hours.
Therefore, at the beginning of the military parade, when the troops in the front appeared and explained, there would be cheers one after another.
But in the second half, the frequency and intensity of the cheers decreased significantly.
Because after a long time, people become numb.
At the same time, these two hours seemed to have become extremely long.
When the time approached 12 noon, the military parade finally came to an end, and the last batch of ground combat troops continued to march at a marching speed and left the scene.
But the fleet in the sky grew larger again.
From the continuous river in the middle stage of the military parade, it quickly became like the Qiantang River at high tide.
There were countless planes densely packed together, once again creating the effect of blocking out the sky and the sun.
The already numb audience, after being relaxed knowing that the military parade was about to end, became nervous and curious again.
The broadcast also very cooperatively explained the situation of the subsequent fleet again:
"The last team to enter the parade ground were aircraft from the Naval Aviation Force. There were a total of one thousand fighter jets and attack aircraft..."
Hearing this broadcast, George IV was obviously taken aback:
"Navy aircraft? Are these all carrier-based aircraft? A thousand carrier-based aircraft?"
Nelson was also stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized:
“The aircraft of the naval aviation are not necessarily all carrier-based aircraft, there are also road-based aircraft.
“For example, for aircraft used for coastal patrols and operations, it is much more convenient to use airports on the coastline as bases than to use aircraft carriers.
“Moreover, there will be a special naval review in the future, and the Navy’s carrier-based aircraft will definitely be specially displayed during the review.
"So, it is very likely that there are no carrier-based aircraft in the fleet we are seeing now..."
The situation was indeed as Nelson expected. These naval aviation aircraft were all road-based.
If you want to see the carrier-based aircraft group, you have to wait for the ship review two days later.
At 12 o'clock in the afternoon, the military parade on land officially ended.
The tanks on the ground and the aircraft in the sky slowly disappeared from the audience's sight.
But the vast majority of the audience still remained in a state of trance and numbness, standing quietly in place and reflecting on it for a long time.
The manner and scale of this military parade were beyond everyone's expectations.
The news announcing the end of the military parade was repeated three times on the radio before the scene became lively again.
Zhu Jingyuan first sent his father and grandfather back to rest, and then took the most senior person present to attend the banquet in the side hall of Fengtian Palace.
This banquet was really prepared for the meal. After the meal, everyone went back to rest.
Prepare to take boats and vehicles to Zhoushan Military Port tomorrow to participate in the ship review the day after tomorrow.
However, it is difficult for many people to truly rest peacefully.
The power displayed in the Ming Dynasty's military parade made many members of the royal family, bureaucrats and generals feel chills in their vests.
However, people from different countries have different specific thoughts and reactions.
People from all walks of life in the UK have a mentality and argument of lying down and doing nothing.
"Anyway, the relationship between the royal family of the United Kingdom and the royal family of the Ming Dynasty is very close. The future king of Britain is likely to be the biological son of the Ming Emperor."
"The United Kingdom's army is also completely incapable of resisting the Ming Dynasty. It should be said that it has no power to resist the Ming Dynasty."
"Our mainland is still on the island and will not be directly affected by the chaos on the Europa continent."
"From now on, just abide by Ming Dynasty's rules and fully integrate into Ming Dynasty's economic and political system..."
The situation with the French is somewhat similar.
Although the French have a stronger sense of crisis and have already felt the threat of Prussia on land.
But Zhu Jingyuan had already given Charles a definite answer and allowed Charles to discuss the situation with his ministers.
In this way, the French also have a similar mentality to the British.
"All European countries are completely vulnerable to the Ming Dynasty."
"As long as Ming Dynasty is willing to protect the safety of France, then there is no need to worry about our safety."
"We just need to continue to learn from the Ming Dynasty's system and continue to develop and build our own technology and industry."
"This is what we have always done under the leadership of His Majesty the King...
“Establishing a friendly and cooperative relationship with Ming Dynasty is the most correct choice France has made in diplomacy.
"The friendship between His Majesty the King and His Majesty the Ming Emperor is the foundation of all this..."
