Fox of France

The two said a few more words, and the ceremony officially began.

Naturally, Russell spoke first. Russell first read the "Founding Proclamation". In the "Founding Proclamation", Russell announced the establishment of the Republic of Ireland and announced that the Republic of Ireland would imitate the political system of France and establish a consul and five parliaments. At the same time, it will follow the French constitution and civil law and establish its own judicial system. At the same time, Russell also announced that the Republic of Ireland would establish diplomatic relations with all countries willing to live with Ireland on an equal footing on the basis of mutual respect and cooperation, so as to promote the friendship between the two peoples.

At the end of the speech, Russell solemnly declared: "The Irish people have stood up!"

After Russell's speech, Joseph delivered a speech on behalf of France and all the countries present that were willing to establish diplomatic relations with the Republic of Ireland based on the spirit of equality and mutual benefit. He first congratulated the establishment of the Republic of Ireland and praised the Irish people for their efforts In the process of winning independence, the heroic, fearless and indomitable spirit was displayed. He concluded by expressing his best wishes to the Republic of Ireland and the people of Ireland:

"I believe that under the leadership of the Federation with Comrade Russell at its core, and with the united efforts of the people of the whole country, more miracles will be created. Gentlemen and friends, think about it. In the process of winning freedom and independence, facing powerful enemies, the Irish people have overcome so many difficulties and created so many impressive human miracles. Then after winning freedom and independence, after gaining What miracle on earth cannot be wrought with the general support of the peace-loving and friendly nations of all Europe?"

After Joseph's speech, the last person on stage was Pope Pius VII. The Pope first praised the piety of the Irish people, and on behalf of God, blessed the Republic of Ireland and the Irish people.

Then came the military parade. President Russell, ah, it should be Russel in power riding a white horse and came to the parade field. The first to pass was a phalanx of Irish War of Independence fighters, carrying the flags of various captured enemy troops (most of which were so-called 'Lawrence Forces', to be honest, authentic The standard of the British army is not easy to capture, especially when they are retreating with the "vigilante" guys.).

These captured flags were thrown to the ground by these fighting heroes. Next came the cavalry of the Independence Army.

Cavalry is a relatively expensive unit, and the cost of a horse is far more than that of a soldier, even for the horses of the dragoons, which mainly fight on horseback. So although the size of the Irish Independence Army is not small, there are not many cavalry units. Both the 1st and 2nd divisions had only one independent cavalry battalion. And the size of this independent cavalry battalion is placed on the British side, and most of it can only be called a strengthening company.

The Irish cavalry is actually a mounted infantry who can only dismount and fight. They don't even have a standard saber-it doesn't use it anyway, and they don't know how to use it.

However, before the founding ceremony, when preparing for the military parade, some people still pointed out that if the cavalry did not hold a saber in their hands, it would be really ugly. That's why I temporarily rented a batch of sabers from the French to pretend.

The cavalry rode war horses (the horses in the front row and on the side of the rostrum are authentic war horses captured, and the horses in the back row and those that are not clearly visible from the direction of the rostrum are basically used for farming. horse.) trampled over the fallen enemy banners, and the crowd laughed with joy.

Then came the infantry formations. Of course, the Irish infantry formations could not be compared with those infantry formations in Napoleon's military parade. Among other things, in terms of the soldiers' stature alone, the infantrymen on the French military parade are basically the same height, with a height difference of no more than five centimeters, but the Irish soldiers are different in this regard, tall and short It doesn't look neat.

But those who really know how to do it can still see at a glance that the soldiers in front of them who don't look neat from height to dress to movement are the real elite. Just like in later generations, those who wear neat military uniforms, wear helmets, and hold brand-new rifles are ordinary people, only those who wear sea soul shirts, shorts, do not wear helmets, and hold AKMs wrapped in tape in their hands , is the real elite Maozi.

Then came the artillery. Irish artillery has made great progress in the war, but their cannons are still mainly light artillery, and here they only dragged out a few small cannons and turned them around twice.

Then there is the breakdown of the armies of friendly countries. The countries that were invited basically didn't send a few people. (In fact, if there were too many people, Ireland couldn't receive them.) Only the French marines followed some people ashore to protect Joseph's safety. At this time, they temporarily participated in the split as representatives of all friendly countries.

The last project is the arrangement of warships, because here is by the sea, you can directly see the fleet at sea. The first to be inspected was the "Common Market" supercruiser, but at this time, the ship had been presented to the Republic of Ireland as a gift by the French government.

Of course, Ireland does not have enough sailors to control the ship at this time, and there is no one who understands naval warfare to be the captain of the ship, so the so-called "gift" is actually just a change of the national flag. The captains and sailors were all French. It's just that they are now dispatched to the "Irish Navy". The Irish Navy also handed over their only modern warship to the command of the French-Irish Combined Fleet in order to continue fighting the British.

Behind this warship are warships from other countries participating in the parade. The most outstanding of these is naturally the French fleet. After all, other countries basically do not have modern battleships and super cruisers. They only have a few armored cruisers. From this point of view, the Irish Navy has suddenly become a rare navy with super cruisers. If you insist, it can be regarded as a naval power immediately.

After the ship review, the whole ceremony came to an end.

Early the next morning, Joseph bid Russell a cordial farewell. Then he boarded the battleship "Caesar" with the pope amidst the cheers of the crowd.
