Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 306: Military parade (prologue)

The most recent large-scale international event held in Berlin was the World Olympic Games in 1936. I remember that Hitler did not give any speech at the opening ceremony that was written down in history. He deliberately kept a low profile. Put a peaceful and friendly mask on Germany. The gentleness and politeness of the Nazi Party paralyzed many European media and politicians.

That Olympic Games was the last afterglow of the glorious era in Europe. Only four years later, all good things were destroyed by iron and fire.

Furthermore, Hitler really didn't have much to say at the time, because apart from the clichés of Nazism, the former Führer didn't really have much stock in his stomach.

Now Xu Jun is standing on the reviewing platform, representing the German Empire dominating Europe, and his posture must be in line with his role.

Considering the status of some guests, Xu Jun can't be too high-profile and domineering. Compromise is the privilege of the winner, but if it hurts the relationship between the alliance countries, it will be more than worthwhile.

So Xu Jun deliberately avoided some more sensitive areas in his speech. For example, regarding the battle between France and Britain, he only touched on the vague words in his words. Instead, he strongly praised the loyalty and bravery shown by the soldiers on both sides. The extraordinary sincerity made the envoys present very moved.

Denmark has sent a delegation headed by the current Crown Prince Frederick. The Danish royal family and cabinet are working hard to change their previous attitudes towards Germany and are trying their best to seek friendship and cooperation between the two sides.

Denmark’s problem is simple to say. They have lost most of the national gold reserves, and the war has severely damaged agriculture, animal husbandry and fisheries, which are the backbone of the economy. All material reserves have bottomed out, except for the overall victory. Outside of those, they now have nowhere to go.

Belgium was personally led by the new Prime Minister Leon de Greer and brought a huge delegation of 160 people, of course, only a few of them were eligible to appear on the VIP stage.

All members of the Belgian royal family were captured during the war. Although they were released in name, they were still under semi-house arrest. There was no way to participate in this event.

The Queen of the Netherlands returned home. This stubborn old lady finally accepted the fact that she was defeated, because no country was willing to accept her and her "government in exile".

In fact, while the Battle of England was still going on, several fierce quarrels broke out between her and her government in exile. The queen wanted to take the royal family and the government to retreat to Canada, and continue to lead the resistance in the Netherlands across the Atlantic.

But her ministers obviously have other plans. They think that if even Britain cannot defeat Germany, it would be extremely foolish to continue to resist. They believe that they are responsible for the future of the Dutch people and should try to cooperate with the Germans.

As a result, in just one week, the Dutch government-in-exile changed four consecutive terms of "prime ministers", losing the constraints of parliament and cabinet, and the queen's power was "released" the most.

Jane de Geer, now prime minister of the Netherlands, was removed from office by the queen because of the existence of "pro-German thinking", and the prime minister’s official reinstatement, besides showing the Germans the attitude of the parliament, why not He gave the stubborn queen a slap in the face.

In view of the "bad" performance during the war, the queen's power was once again locked in a safe, and it now appears that the Dutch parliament is not ready to allow the monarchy to regain the cabinet before she naturally abides.

For these lowland countries, Xu Jun did not spend too much content in his speech. He only talked a little about the bombing of Rotterdam and the tragedy in the Belgian countryside, and expressed deep regret for everything that happened during the war.

The King of Norway was "being a guest" in Berlin at this time, so he was politely invited to the VIP table. Anyway, there were a bunch of European princes, princesses, and princes, and they were basically relatives.

The U.S. ambassador to Germany just retired and returned to China last month. The new ambassador has not yet been decided. This time, the acting ambassador Wilson can only attend the military parade, but he brought a letter from the new U.S. President Dewey. In the letter, Dewey extended his greetings to the head of state of Germany, and at the same time expressed his vision and confidence in the future cooperation and friendship between the two countries.

Soviet ambassador Jekanozov looks very interested. He likes this big scene very much. Moscow attaches great importance to this military parade, and specially sent a team of military experts over, hoping to find out during this military parade. The current level of German equipment.

In the eyes of this ambassador, this rally is also a feast for the intelligence industry. With so many high-level Europeans gathered together, even a word or a word in the conversation may be classified as confidential.

"So at this moment~IndoMTL.com~ We are gathered in this place, where the glory of the German Empire began, Frederick the Great, William the Great, Bismarck, Hindenburg, and countless heroes in German history , They are watching us here, and are pleased with our victory. So, compatriots, comrades, you should be proud of your achievements, cheer, comrades, cheer, German people."

The German head of state stood on the ceremonial reviewing stage and waved his arms and gave a loud speech. Himmler stood aside with tears in his eyes, and Goebbels touched his chest with passion. In Munich Square in 1988, there was only a fat man missing from the podium, and a king was replaced on the podium.

"Hurray! Victory! Hi! Reinhardt!" The wave of cheers spread around the race, and the streets of Berlin were full of enthusiasm.

After a row of salutes, three signal flares slowly rose above the Brandenburg Gate, and the Berlin military parade finally officially opened.

PS: The situation is always good and sometimes bad, but it's better than a week ago. I don't dare to be too tired for the time being. This chapter is about recovery and there are not many words. I hope you will understand.

I will start preparing my luggage in the past two days. I want to take everything with me, but I have a weight limit and a headache.
