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

Chapter 1118 Military Parade

In the early morning, the streets and alleys of Beilong City become bustling.

The staff of the Propaganda Department began to post the military parade notice everywhere. On the bright red notice, there were large gold-plated characters:

&34;The triumphal parade of the Chinese Expeditionary Force is scheduled to be held at 34: a.m. on the th of this month on the Central Avenue of Beilong City...&;

A large number of onlookers soon gathered in the streets and alleys.

&34;Look, look, the military parade is about to begin! &34;

&34;The 34th? Isn't that the day after tomorrow?&;

&34;I heard that 34 troops are going to be dispatched! &;

"Yes, all the elite troops of the expeditionary force are coming!"

In the teahouse, diners were discussing excitedly:

&34;This is the first time that China has held such a large-scale military parade! &34;

"That's right. How could we have such confidence before? It's different now. If we defeat Fuso, we will also be a world power!"

&34;I heard that even tanks and armored vehicles will be on the streets. What a spectacular sight! &34;

"Yes, my husband is already looking for a good spot to watch the ceremony."

Street vendors are also discussing:

"There will definitely be a huge crowd of people there, so we need to prepare more food and drinks."

"Yes, yes, there must be a lot of people coming from other places."

&34;I heard that even people from the south take the train to see it! &34;

At the school gate, parents were also talking about this when picking up their children:

"The school said they would organize students to watch the ceremony. What a rare opportunity!"

"Yes, let the children see the military might of our country!"

"My daughter is already clamoring to go, saying she wants to see the big tank."

In the factory, workers were also discussing excitedly:

&34;The weapons produced by our factory may also appear in the military parade! &34;

"Of course not. I heard that our artillery will cover the entire street!"

&34;You must take a good look at it when the time comes. This is all our hard work! &34;

In front of the government office,

Civil servants are posting more detailed notices:

&34;President Su Zhengyang will review the troops at that time...&34;

&34;Ten viewing platforms were set up along the way...&34;

&34;Representatives from all walks of life will be invited to attend...&34;

The entire Beilong City,

All immersed in the upcoming celebration.

This is not just a military parade.

It is also a time for China to show its strength to the world.

The laughter in the streets,

The heated discussions in teahouses and taverns,

They are all telling a truth:

China has become truly powerful.

Inside the editorial office of Zhenxing Daily.

Yang Qiyue was writing quickly at her desk, her pen tip flying on the paper.

&34;China is rising, a grand military parade! &34;

She wrote this striking title and continued writing:

&34;This is a long-awaited ceremony.

This is a moment worth remembering.

When the expeditionary army's iron hooves stepped across the central avenue,

When the battle flags flutter in the morning light,

Every Chinese will be proud of it.

Every innocent heart will be shocked...&34;

She paused for a moment, bit the pen gently, and continued writing:

"Remember those humiliating years?

I still remember those unyielding struggles.

And today,

We can finally hold our heads high.

Announce to the world:

China has become strong! &34;

When she wrote about the emotional parts, her eyes became slightly red.

"Editor-in-chief," the deputy editor-in-chief knocked on the door and came in, "The layout design drawings are here."

"Yes," Yang Qiyue raised her head, "put the news of the military parade on the front page, and use the picture of the expeditionary force provided by the Presidential Office as the illustration."

She stood up and walked to the layout design:

&34;Here are the details of the military parade. &34;

&34;Here, an introduction to the expeditionary generals. &34;

&34;Here, write down the precautions for watching the ceremony. &34;

"Understood." The deputy editor quickly took note.

"Remember," Yang Qiyue turned around with a gleam in her eyes, "This is not just a report, it is a testimony to the rise of China. Let the whole country know that our expeditionary force is coming back and our China has become strong!"

"Yes!" The deputy editor-in-chief was also excited.

"Let the typesetting team work overtime and make sure the printing is completed tonight. Tomorrow morning, I want to see this newspaper appear all over the country!"

Looking at the manuscript in my hand,

Yang Qiyue's heart was filled with pride.

She is not only a newspaper editor,

It is also a recorder of this great era.

This military parade,

It will be the most exciting chapter she has ever written.

Once the news was released, the whole country was in an uproar.

The Shanghai Railway Station is crowded with people.

&34;Hurry, hurry, the tickets to the north are almost sold out! &34;

"I have already booked a car for tomorrow morning."

&34;This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you have to go see it!&34;

There was a long queue in front of the ticket window and tickets for all trains heading north were hard to get.

Jinling Railway Station was also bustling with people.

"Dad, are we really going to Beilong City?"

"Of course! Your grandfather fought in the Northeast. I want to take you there to see how China became so powerful!"

On the platform, countless families were carrying their luggage, preparing to embark on their journey north.

Train after train,

Filled with people from all over the country,

Heading towards Beilong City.

In the carriage, people were discussing eagerly:

&34;I heard that 34 troops are going to be dispatched! &;

"Yes, and they are all elite soldiers of the expeditionary force!"

&34;I heard that even the captured Fuso weapons will be displayed! &34;

"That's a must, let the whole world see how great we are!"

An old soldier, leaning on a cane, insisted on going:

"I fought in the northern Xinjiang region before, and I'm determined to go and see it this time."

"Dad, your health..."

"It's okay! Even if I die, I want to watch the military parade first!"

A teacher leads a class of students:

&34;This is the best patriotic education.&34;

"Let the children see with their own eyes the might of China's military!"

Inside the carriage, students were excitedly discussing the tanks and cannons they were about to see.

Merchants also headed north:

&34;This is a great business opportunity!&34;

"Yes, I heard that people from all over the country are rushing to Beilong City!"

&34;I have already placed an order for the goods, specializing in souvenirs.&34;

Men of letters also boarded the train:

&34;This historic moment must be witnessed with your own eyes.&34;

"Yes, I'll write it in a book so that people in the future will know about it."

&34;I have my camera ready to capture every detail.&34;

From south to north,

from east to west,

Countless trains carry expectant crowds.

Running towards Beilong City.

On the radio at the train station,

Notices for adding temporary trains kept ringing.

On the platform,

People waved goodbye to their city.

In the carriage,

Full of anticipation for the military parade.

This is a national celebration.

This is a historical testimony.

Everyone wants to see it for themselves.

The glorious moment of the Chinese army's triumphant return.

Inside the Office of the President.

Su Zhengyang stood in front of a huge sand table, surrounded by the heads of military and government departments.

"The military parade is divided into three columns," he pointed at the sand table, "The first column is the expeditionary army, with tanks and armored vehicles leading the way, and the infantry column following closely behind."

"Yes!" the Army Chief of Staff immediately recorded it.

"The second formation is the Marine Corps," Su Zhengyang continued, "They played a great role in the landing battle and must be highlighted."

"Understood!" the Navy representative nodded.

"The third formation is the air force," Su Zhengyang moved his finger to the preset air route, "a bomber formation will fly over here, spraying red ribbons to draw the Chinese flag in the sky."

"Ensure mission completion!" The air force commander straightened his back.

&34;Zhang Luanyu. &34;Su Zhengyang turned around.

&34;In!&34;

&34;How are the arrangements for the viewing platform going?&34;

"It has been planned," Zhang Luanyu reported immediately, "The central viewing platform is set up here, and on both sides are viewing areas for representatives of various provinces and foreign envoys. Ten people's viewing platforms are set up along the way..."

"It's not enough," Su Zhengyang interrupted, "add it to twenty. There will be many people coming to see it."

&34;Yes!&34;

&34;What about security work?&34;

"The Divine Punishment Special Forces have already begun deployment," said the head of the security department, "and they will be on full alert to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

&34;What about medical assistance?&34;

"We have set up 34 medical posts along the way," the health official replied, "to be ready to handle any emergency."

&34;Preparation for publicity coverage?&34;

"All major media outlets across the country will be present," the propaganda minister said, "Editor-in-chief Yang of Zhenxing Daily has personally led the team..."

"Okay," Su Zhengyang nodded, "Remember, this is not just a military parade, this is a moment to show China's strength to the world. Every detail must be perfect!"

"Yes!" everyone responded in unison.

"Also," Su Zhengyang added, "after the military parade, celebration banquets will be held in major cities so that people across the country can participate."

&34;Got it!&34;

Watching everyone leave,

Su Zhengyang's eyes fell on the sand table.

This military parade,

It will be the strongest message China sends to the world.

A powerful China,

In the most majestic manner,

Show it to the world.
