Chapter 354: Parade in Paris

February 15, sunny.
The blue sky is cloudless, this is a rare good weather.
On this day, the whole Paris is very lively.
In the past few years, France has been shrouded in dark clouds. Today, it is simply a rare good weather.
This year is also of commemorative significance. If a few months pass, on July 14, the Third French Republic will usher in 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, survived the First World War, and lasted until 1939.
However, now, throughout France, the upper level is in turmoil.
Why has France continued to appease over the years? Because the top level in France has always been divided.
Especially in 1936, after the leftists united and ran for power, they issued a series of policies to intensify class contradictions in the country at an unprecedented level. The government had no time to take into account international affairs in order to solve the various domestic problems brought about by reforms.
And just this year, the French political arena is at the apex of a split, and the popular front on the left has basically fallen apart. The French branch of the Workers International has been squeezed out of the radical Republican Party, and the French GC party has also withdrawn from the alliance because of its opposition to the appeasement of the Munich Agreement.
France, under the dark clouds of political division and war, allowed them to hold a grand celebration and military parade today. The theme of this celebration and military parade is to unite the country and defend the motherland.
On this day, Paris is very lively. The Palais de Chaillot was built for the Paris World Expo in 1937. This brand new building welcomed countless people.
In the distance, is the famous Eiffel Tower, if you see it from the tower. You can clearly see the grand occasion here.
The banks of the Seine River facing the Palais de Chaillot were filled with soldiers of different skin colors from the French colonies, and children in pure white costumes stood on both sides of the steps on the platform of the Palais de Chaillot.
The square in front of the Summer Palace is decorated with three-color ribbons everywhere.
In the center of the square are three huge towers of 30 meters high, symbolizing the freedom, equality and fraternity of the Republic.
In front of the three giant towers is the rostrum, and the façade of the rostrum is decorated with a huge three-color badge pulled by a three-color ribbon. Looking around, the entire venue became an ocean of red, white and blue.
The celebration ceremony here is quite lively, while the Champs Elysées, a few streets away, is solemn and solemn.
"Look, our army is coming!" A participating crowd raised his camera and looked at a team coming from a distance. This team, all riding tall horses, was the guard of honor at the front of the review team.
In the back, the various armed forces.
One after another, the tanks rumblingly started up, and the engines at their tails passed by in front of the avenue with black smoke. When they walked to the podium, they saluted in unison, and there was a burst of cheers.
tank! In this era, if you say the most brilliant, it is definitely the tank!
The audience looked at the advancing tank and felt the strength of their country.
The queue of tanks, one team after another, British, French, light, medium, everything, only tanks, there are three hundred and fifty!
The phalanx of the military parade marched from the Arc de Triomphe along the Champs Elysées to the Place de la Concorde. The audience was fascinated by the sight. At this moment, there was a rumbling sound in the sky.
"Look, that's our plane!" The audience raised their heads and watched one after another fighter planes fly by in the clear sky.
This time, Britain and France were responsible. The ground forces dispatched 30,000 people. The French Air Force and the Royal Air Force also dispatched a joint formation of 350 fighters for flight demonstrations.
One by one, the queues walked for an entire hour, and the roar of the planes in the sky was almost constant!
All of this is full of imagination. A similar grand military parade is probably only comparable to the victory parade of World War I in 1919.
Our country is strong, and we are absolutely capable of defending our country!
After the celebration and the military parade were over, French Prime Minister Daraday gave a speech at the Palais des Chalets.
"This military parade shows that all the people of France have united under the banner of defending the country and demonstrated their determination to defend peace and freedom."
"We have the strongest army in Europe. We can protect our country and maintain European order!"
"We will not watch the situation in Europe continue to deteriorate. Here, we warn Germany that if we do not remove the iron hoof from Poland, we will declare war on Germany!"
Radardi’s tone is quite strict. The French army, with three million, is the most powerful army in Europe. France has always wanted peace. But now, if Germany continues to go its own way, it can only be war!
"Today's military parade, including our French and British troops, will go to the Maginot Line. If Germany still has no repentance, then we can only use war~EbookFREE.me~ to let Germany know their mistakes!"
Must be tough!
France and Britain have always stood together. In the future, there will be a large number of British troops who will come to the land of France to participate in this punitive battle against Germany!
Britain and France will not retreat anymore.
Compared to Ladadi's enthusiasm, the military is not so optimistic.
Just after the military parade, de Gaulle, Herbart and others jointly put forward an opinion on armored equipment.
The existing tanks have all fallen behind. If you want to attack Germany, the British and French army, you must have more advanced tanks!
In the second half of last night, Charles de Gaulle and Herbart and others discussed until dawn. Based on the performance of the German armored forces, they speculated on the various data of the German tanks, and then submitted a detailed report.
British and French tanks must reach a scale of 40 tons! The tank must be equipped with an engine of at least 500 horsepower and a long-barreled artillery with a caliber of more than 17 pounds to completely restrain the German tank.
This report took a lot of effort from De Gaulle and Herbart, but when the report was submitted, Radadi threw it aside.
"Continue to allocate funds to improve our Maginot line!" Radadi looked at the map on the wall with emotion in his heart.
France does not want to fight, or it is an offensive battle. For the French army, what an advanced tank is not urgent, the most important thing is to improve the Maginot line!
This military parade, of course, was shown to the Germans, telling the Germans that Britain and France are already angry. If the Germans do not stop, Britain and France will really declare war.
If a head of state is dead, you can fight Poland for a few days, and that's enough. At most, according to the current occupation boundaries, let Poland ceding some land to Germany, that's fine.
