Chapter 354 Parade in Paris

February 15th, sunny.

The sky is cloudless, and this is a rare and good weather.

On this day, the whole of Paris was very lively.

In recent years, France has been covered with dark clouds. Today, it is a rare good weather.

This year is also commemorative. In a few more months, on July 14, the Third Republic of France will celebrate the 150th anniversary of the capture of the Bastille.

The French Republic was established in the ruins of the Franco-Prussian War in 1870. They survived the political turmoil of the nineteenth century, the First World War, and until 1939.

But now, the top leaders in France are in turmoil.

Why has France been appeased over the years? Because the top leaders of France have always been in a state of division.

Especially in 1936, the leftists united and after they came to power, they issued a series of policies to intensify the domestic class contradictions unprecedentedly. In order to solve the various problems brought by the reform at home, the government had no time to take into account international affairs.

Just this year, the French political arena was in division, and the left-wing People's Front had basically fallen apart. The French branch of the Workers International has been squeezed out by the radical Republican Party, and the French G-Party also withdrew from the alliance because of the opposition to the Munich agreement.

France, shrouded in dark clouds of political divisions and war, held a grand celebration and military parade today, and the theme of this celebration and military parade is to unite the country and defend the motherland.

On this day, Paris was very lively. The Palace of Shale was built for the 1937 World Expo. This brand new building welcomed countless people.

In the distance, there is the famous Eiffel Tower. If you look at it from the tower, you can clearly see the grand occasion here.

The Seine River bank facing the Xiale Palace was filled with salutes of different skin colors from the French colonies. From the river bank, children in pure white costumes stood on both sides of the steps of the Xiale Palace platform.

The square in front of Xiale Palace is decorated with three-color ribbons everywhere.

In the center of the square are three thirty-meter-high towers, symbolizing the freedom, equality and fraternity of the Republic.

In front of the three giant towers is the rostrum, and the facade of the rostrum is decorated with a huge three-color badge led by a three-color ribbon. Looking around, the entire venue has become a sea of ​​red, white and blue.

The celebrations here are quite lively, while the Champs Elysees, a few streets away, are solemn and dignified.

"Look, our army is here!" A participating crowd raised his camera and looked at a team coming from afar. All of them rode high-headed horses and were the guard of honor at the front of the reviewing team.

And behind them are various armed forces.

Tanks rumbled up, and the engine at the rear was emitting black smoke and walked past the avenue. When they reached the rostrum, they saluted in unison, and even cheered.

Tank! In this era, if the most outstanding one is definitely a tank!

The audience looked at the tanks that were heading forth and felt the strength of their country.

The tanks were lined up, including British, French, light, medium, everything. There were 350 tanks alone!

The square formation of the military parade was marching along the Champs-Elysees toward the Plaza de Concorde from the Arc de Triomphe. The audience was fascinated by the sight. At this moment, a rumble sound came from the sky.

"Look, that's our plane!" The audience raised their heads and watched one fighter plane after another fly by in the clear sky.

This time, Britain and France made a deposit. The ground forces dispatched 30,000 people, and the French Air Force and the Royal Air Force also dispatched a joint formation of 350 fighter jets to conduct a flight display.

After a whole hour, the planes in the air roared almost constantly!

All of this makes people think a lot. Similar grand military parades are probably only comparable to the victory parade in the First World War in 1919.

Our country is strong and we are absolutely capable of defending our own territory!

After the celebration and military parade were over, French Prime Minister Daradi delivered a speech at the Palace of Sale.

"This military parade reflects that the whole French people have united under the banner of defending the country and demonstrates their determination to defend peace and freedom."

"We have the most powerful army in Europe, we can protect our country and maintain order in Europe!"

"We will not watch the situation in Europe and continue to deteriorate. Here we warn Germany that if we do not move the iron hooves away from Poland, we will declare war on Germany!"

Ladardi's tone was quite harsh. The French army, with three million, is the most powerful army in Europe. France has always wanted peace, but now, if Germany continues to do its own way, it can only be war!

"The military parade today, including our French and British troops, will all go to the Maginot Line of Defense. If Germany still does not repent, then we can only use war to let Germany know their mistakes!"

Must be tough!

France and Britain have always stood together. In the future, a large number of British troops will come to France's land to participate in this battle of punishment against Germany together!

Britain and France will not retreat any more.

Compared to Raddadi's enthusiasm, the military is not so optimistic.

Just after the military parade, Charles de Gaulle, Hebat and others jointly put forward an opinion on armored soldiers' equipment.

The existing tanks are already behind. If you want to attack Germany and the British and French troops, you must have more advanced tanks!

In the second half of last night, Charles de Gaulle, Hebart and others discussed until dawn. Based on the performance of the German armored forces, they speculated on various data on German tanks, and then submitted the previous detailed report.

British and French tanks must reach a scale of 40 tons! Tanks must be equipped with at least 500 horsepower engines and long-barrel cannons with a caliber of more than 17 pounds, completely restraining the German tanks.

This report took a lot of effort from Charles de Gaulle and Hebat, but when the report was submitted, Radadi threw it aside.

"Continue to allocate funds and improve our Macino line!" Raddadi looked at the map on the wall, and felt very moved.

France does not want to fight or attack. For the French army, what an advanced tank is not urgent, but the most important thing is to improve the Maginot line of defense!

Of course, this military parade was to show the Germans, telling the Germans that Britain and France were already angry, and if the Germans did not stop, Britain and France would really declare war.
