Chapter 1024: celebration (1/2)
The wheels of history are rolling forward, not controlled by personal will.
As the birthplace of the economic crisis, Vienna is also the first region to get rid of the economic crisis.
Different from ordinary industrial cities, Vienna, which is centered on politics, education, scientific research, and culture, has a much stronger ability to resist risks.
Except for the miserable stock investors, the crisis brought little change to Vienna. The turbulent downtowns can't feel the breath of depression at all.
Especially in the recent period, as the National Day approaches, representatives from all over the country have gathered, and it has become more prosperous.
To celebrate the third anniversary of the resurrection of the Holy Roman Empire, Franz decided to conduct a military parade on National Day. It is purely for celebration, and there is absolutely no meaning to show off force.
Unlike previous military parades, this time is a national one. Whether it is a colony far overseas, aristocratic fiefdom, or various states on the European continent, representatives must be sent to participate.
The most important thing is that this military parade is not to select elites from the entire army, but Franz randomly selected troops and went to Vienna for review.
There is no way, there are a lot of nations under the Shenluo, and the fief nobles are as high as five figures, even if they are the best ones, they can't be selected.
When it comes to military honor, don't expect who will let others. If it is really elected, it can be a waste of time.
If the colony is opened up, it can also be a grand contest of the whole army, or a real-force confrontation exercise.
Now, just look at the map of Shinra. With the traffic and regional drills of the past few years, they are choking. We are afraid that we will not be able to complete the situation in two or three years.
In this case, in order to avoid controversy, Franz simply played a lottery and decided by luck.
If you want to show your face in front of the people of the whole country, then count on God for his old man's blessing. If God is not online, so will the emperor's blessing.
After all, judging from the final result, the distribution of selected troops is quite balanced.
One battalion was selected for Austrian Southeast Asia, one battalion for Austrian Americas, four battalions for Austrian Africa, three battalions for each state, three battalions for land, sea and air of the Central Army, plus one armored regiment and one artillery regiment for a total of one Thousands of thousands of people.
There can be no more, and no more review. Franz didn't want to have a celebration, so he was exhausted to death.
It is not an easy task to gather the troops from all over the world. The National Day military parade is not only a review of the troops, but also for the whole world.
As a newly emerging overlord, Shinra hasn't done anything outside in recent years except for interfering in a Philippine war since he got down to France.
Such a peaceful hegemon, not to mention that countries in the world are not used to it, at least European countries are really not used to it.
Look at the British. The Philippine War just ended, and things started in Cuba again. This is the professional hegemon.
In this regard, the Vienna government still has a long way to go to catch up with the British. Judging from the current situation, Franz's lifetime is impossible.
This is determined by political genes. The thinking of sea power countries and land power countries is different.
Thinking determines action. If possible, Franz hopes to go on in such a quiet and ordinary life.
However, the trees wanted to be quiet and the wind continued. The Vienna government didn't do anything. A scapegoat fell from the sky, and there was no place to reason.
There are so many suspects that it is impossible to tell who is behind the scenes. Naturally, the Vienna government cannot retaliate.
In order to swear a sense of existence, there was this third anniversary celebration. Regardless of whether countries are used to it, they must now learn to adapt.
”New Overlord, New Atmosphere”.
Blindly imitating the British, obviously fell behind. If it really makes the sky angry, and finally fights, Shenluo has no strait protection.
The past does not forget the future. The two world wars in the original time and space are still deeply imprinted in Franz's mind.
Playing pk on the European continent is a collective suicide. If the profits are not enough for military expenses, if you lose, you will have to lose money.
...
”Here, Friedrich.”
”I see the general, I'll come right away.”
Following the sound to the ground, a young officer shuttled past the crowd and came under the sculpture in the square.
Schlieffen laughed and cursed: ”Friedrich, you idiot. I told you not to be left behind, and I dare to look around. If I get lost, I'm ashamed to call the police to help you find someone.”
It can be seen that Schlieffen still values the young officers very seriously.
Although this military parade was drawn by lots, it is to be seen in full view. Who would dare to be careless?
If you get out of the basket, you will be ashamed in front of the world. All selected troops have started drills early.
Those who were able to come to the review last, whether they were officers or soldiers, had been screened at various levels, and those who were unqualified were transferred away long ago.
As the only company in the Kingdom of Prussia to take part in the military parade, it was even more likely to have all officers. The purpose is very simple, just to ask for money.
There is no way, who makes the Kingdom of Prussia poor?
Limited by financial constraints, the Prussian military's life in recent years has really been difficult.
Even some time ago, there was a proposal to dismiss the army in the Berlin government. Although he was stopped by William II, there were one or two things like this.
The Prussian military is still very crisis-conscious. In order to avoid one day, the Berlin government really did not allocate funds, and there was a trip to Vienna by the current army.
After the establishment of the Holy Roman Empire, while the emperor took the command of the state's army, in order to strengthen the control of the state's army, the source of military expenditure of the state's army also changed.
Generally speaking, within the scope of the establishment permitted by the emperor, the state army can get 25%-40% of the military expenditure from the central government, and the state government self-finances the rest.
In this context, if the state is rich, the military budget will be sufficient, and the army will have a better life; if the state is poor, it will have to live a hard life.
There is no doubt that the Prussian army has been living a hard life. Since the defeat of the Russian-Prussian War, the life of the Prussian military has never been better.
When Prussia was in the German Federation, Prussia was directly faced with the lively military threat from Russia, and the Berlin government naturally had to grit its teeth.
