Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Chapter 1119: Formal Military Parade (1)

On the day of the military parade, the streets of Beilong City were already crowded with people at daybreak.

On both sides of Central Avenue,

The densely packed crowd formed a long queue.

Guards and soldiers kept order.

They formed a human wall.

&34;Stand back! Everyone, stand back!&34;

&34;Keep order and don't push!&34;

&34;Elderly people and children please go to the special area! &34;

The soldiers' shouts rose one after another.

in the crowd,

There is a father carrying a child.

There are young people supporting the elderly.

There were reporters holding cameras.

There are students holding small flags...

"Comrade, I'm from Huzhou," an old man asked the soldier for help, "I have difficulty walking..."

"Old man, please come this way," the soldier immediately helped him up, "We have a special rest area."

"Chief, we are from the Western Regions," a group of ethnic minority people said in not very standard Chinese.

"Come, come, there is a special viewing area over here," the soldier guided with a smile.

"Comrade, we are here organized by the school..."

&34;This way, the student groups are in this area.&34;

There are drinking water points at every intersection.

The angels in white at the medical point are on standby at all times.

Temporary toilets are neatly arranged.

Everything is arranged in an orderly manner.

On the buildings on both sides of the street,

The guards were on high alert.

Snipers are hiding in commanding heights.

Ensure absolute safety.

in the air,

The reconnaissance planes kept circling.

Helicopters patrol back and forth,

Keep informed of ground situation at all times.

&34;Report, the crowd density in the east section is too high! &34;

&34;Direct traffic immediately and open alternate channels! &34;

&34;The western section needs drinking water! &34;

&34;Dispatch immediately, the convoy has set off! &34;

The soldiers' walkie-talkies kept ringing.

Commands were delivered quickly one by one.

Each problem was solved promptly.

in the crowd,

Laughter and joy continue:

&34;Look, that's the God's Punishment Special Forces!&34;

&34;The security is so tight!&34;

&34;This is the military might of China! &34;

Nearing nine o'clock,

People are still pouring in.

The soldiers formed a human wall.

The viewing passage is divided neatly.

At every intersection,

There are eye-catching signboards erected.

Every distance,

There were soldiers to guide the way.

This is a national celebration.

But everything is in order.

This is a historical testimony.

But there was no confusion at all.

Soldiers use their professionalism and dedication,

Make this ceremony more solemn.

With their smiles and patience,

Let every spectator feel the warmth.

Flags fluttered on the tower of the Forbidden City Square.

Su Zhengyang was wearing the uniform of a Chinese marshal, and his golden medal shone brightly in the sun. He had an upright posture and a sharp gaze, showing the majesty of a leader of a great country.

On his right hand,

Prime Minister Duan Jinshu was dressed in a black suit, looking calm and majestic;

Finance Minister Ye Bufan was dressed in a suit and looked very impressive;

Foreign Minister Fang Daigo had a serious expression and his eyes were sharp.

On the left are envoys from various countries:

French Ambassador François Dubois adjusted his tie elegantly, with a gleam of amazement in his eyes. This well-informed diplomat had to admit that China was powerful.

The English envoy, Lord William Chesterfield, raised his head slightly, trying to maintain the dignity of the British Empire, but the shock in his eyes could not be concealed.

The diplomatic representative of the Bird Empire, Seckt, smiled at Su Zhengyang. This old friend had witnessed the entire process of China's rise from weakness to strength, and his relief at the moment was beyond words.

The Italian representative Marco Antonio kept wiping the sweat from his forehead. The envoy of this southern European country was obviously intimidated by China's military might.

Spanish representative Carlos Garcia clenched his fists. This former maritime overlord could only stand here as a spectator.

The representative of the Russian imperial family, Duke Nicholas Romanov, had a solemn expression on his face. This representative of the northern giant bear was witnessing the rise of a new powerful country.

The Portuguese representative, Jose Silva, bowed slightly. This former maritime power now has to show respect to China.

The atmosphere on the city wall was solemn and dignified.

Although the envoys from various countries had different expressions,

But their eyes all revealed the same message:

China has become truly powerful.

Su Zhengyang looked forward.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The dream many years ago,

Now it has finally come true.

China,

Finally, I can take on the attitude of a strong man.

Accept the attention of the world.

In a corner of the city tower, Fang Dihu was dealing with envoys from various countries.

"Mr. Du Bois," he said in fluent French, "does our army surprise you?"

"Mon Dieu!" The French ambassador raised his hands, "This is simply too shocking! The speed of China's rise is far beyond our imagination."

"Oh?" Fang Daigo smiled, "I wonder what your country thinks of our decision to take over Fuso?"

"Fully supportive," Du Bois immediately stated, "France will speak for China internationally."

Lord Chesterfield interrupted: "However, has China ever considered..."

"Your Excellency," Fang Dihu interrupted him in standard English before he could finish, "The British Empire's approach in India seems to be much more radical than ours?"

The English envoy was suddenly speechless.

"My old friend," Sekt walked over and patted Fang Dihu on the shoulder, "The Bird Empire will always be China's most loyal ally."

"Of course," Fang Dihu toasted, "We will never forget our friendship in times of trouble."

Italian representative Antonio tried to express his concern: "Regarding the post-war treatment of Fuso..."

"This is China's internal affairs," Fang Dihu said without question, "just like your country's handling of the southern issue, there is no need for outsiders to interfere."

Antonio stepped back awkwardly.

"Everyone," Fang Dihu looked around at everyone, "China's rise is unstoppable. The wise choice is to cooperate with us, not... "

He paused meaningfully.

The Russian representative, Duke Romanov, was thoughtful: "China's influence in the Far East..."

"It will get bigger and bigger," Fang Dihu looked at him directly, "This is the inevitability of history."

Spanish representative Garcia tried to ease the atmosphere: "We all hope to establish closer relations with China."

"Of course," Fang Daigo raised his glass, "as long as your country's colonies in Southeast Asia..."

Garcia's expression froze.

The Chinese Foreign Minister,

In the most elegant way,

Conveying the strongest message:

China is no longer a weak country that can be bullied by others.

But a strong country that can have equal dialogue with any major country.

The envoys from various countries looked at each other in bewilderment.

But we have to admit one fact:

World pattern,

This is changing due to the rise of China.

"Everyone," Su Zhengyang walked over with steady steps, a gentle but dignified smile on his face, "The weather is nice today."

"Your Excellency the President!" Envoys from various countries saluted.

"Ah, Mr. Dubois," Su Zhengyang greeted in French, "How is Paris doing recently? I heard that your country is very interested in purchasing our arms?"

The French ambassador nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Mr. President. We are deeply shocked by the fighting power demonstrated by your expeditionary force. We hope to..."

"You can ask Minister Ye to discuss the details with you," Su Zhengyang said with a smile.

"My friend!" Seckt came forward.

"Old friend," Su Zhengyang shook hands with him, "We will always remember your friendly attitude towards China."

"This is your own credit," Seckt said sincerely, "You let me witness the rise of a great country. As a diplomat, I feel honored to witness this with my own eyes."

"Lord Chesterfield," Su Zhengyang turned to the English envoy and said in English, "I remember last time, you expressed doubts about our navy?"

The English envoy smiled awkwardly: "Your Excellency the President, you are joking..."

"Now, our fleet can protect our own merchant ships," Su Zhengyang said meaningfully, "in any sea area."

Prince Romanov interrupted: "Mr. President, regarding the sphere of influence in the Far East..."

"Duke," Su Zhengyang looked him straight in the eye, "times have changed."

Four simple words,

This silenced the Tsarist nobleman.

"Mr. Garcia," Su Zhengyang looked at the Spanish representative, "Our merchant ships have been frequently harassed in the South Seas recently."

"I will report to Madrid immediately!" the Spanish envoy quickly expressed his opinion.

"Very good," Su Zhengyang nodded, "Peaceful trade is good for everyone."

Words that are both threatening and kind.

This made the envoys from various countries present feel the pressure.
