Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 890 Military Parade (1)

The auditorium built next to the Berlin Palace was filled with senior military officials and heads of state, and the surrounding streets and alleys were also packed with crowds of onlookers.

With the sound of the salute, the military parade officially began, and infantry phalanxes slowly walked towards the viewing platform from a distance.

Because the purpose of this military parade is purely to intimidate, to put it bluntly, it is to scare people, so there is no fancy prelude, and soldiers who have returned from the front line for vacation are directly arranged. These soldiers had charged in the Polish battlefields, fought bloody battles in the French battlefields, and walked onto the British coast with waist-deep water, fighting fiercely with the British elite among the low bushes.

The long period of killing made their eyes full of ferocity, and their bodies exuded a chilling aura, which made the ordinary people on both sides of the road feel like their legs were weak. After being amazed and shocked, they suddenly remembered that this army belonged to the empire and was their patron saint. With such an army, there was no need to worry that the country was not strong and the nation was not prosperous!

As a result, their shock instantly turned into intense excitement and excitement. They waved their arms vigorously, cheered loudly to salute these soldiers, and wanted to reach out to the center of the field to shake hands with the warriors of the empire. The faces of the heads of state sitting on the viewing platform looked a little unnatural, even a little pale. Have they ever seen such a murderous army with endless fighting spirit? The neat footsteps accompanied by the sound of military drums seemed to step on their hearts, making their hearts tremble. The reporters and military attaches were in awe and pressed the shutter of their cameras desperately, trying to record the magnificence of the army in front of them.

As the first infantry phalanx approached the viewing platform, Yannick stood up, straightened his clothes, stretched his right hand diagonally toward the sky, and saluted the phalanx passing by under the platform. Wow, the senior military officials behind him also stood up and raised their hands in salute.

The soldiers had resolute expressions on their faces, their chins slightly raised, and they passed by the avenue under the viewing platform with pride and murderous intent. The officer leading the team raised the saber in his hand high, and the drum beat changed accordingly. The soldiers of the regiment behind him also changed their pace. Everyone turned their faces to the viewing platform and shouted in unison. "Long live Germany! Long live His Highness! Long live Germany! Long live His Highness!" Although they should have shouted "Long live Your Majesty", although Yannick is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he led them all the way to this war, so they are more Willing to shout "Long live your highness".

The shouts that seemed to burst out of the sky made some timid guys on the viewing platform take out their handkerchiefs to wipe the sweat from their faces, and they didn't even hear clearly the unit number mentioned by the commentator on the side.

When the tenth infantry square passed by, a dull roar came from the distance, and everyone felt the ground shaking slightly.

Steel behemoths were approaching from a distance, with a thick and long gun barrel raised in front of them, and an equally chilling large-caliber high-level dual-purpose machine gun on the roof.

"This is the earliest upgraded version of the Jackal tank in service with the Imperial Armored Forces. It is equipped with a 75mm kwk40L/48 tank gun and can easily penetrate 170mm frontal armor at a distance of 1,000 meters." Of course, the penetration data reported by the commentator is different from the actual penetration. There are still some discrepancies, but the entire military parade is used to scare people, and there is nothing wrong with exaggerating. As for the protective capabilities of the tanks, there is no need to go into detail.

After four square formations of 100 Jackal tanks passed by, the next thing to appear was the Panther tank, which is now the main tank of the German armored forces. When they heard the commentator say that the 88mm KWK 36L/56 tank gun equipped on these Panther tanks could penetrate 180mm frontal armor at a distance of 2,000 meters, everyone in the auditorium couldn't help but gasped.

What a terrifying armor-piercing ability! !

But before everyone could take a breath, they suddenly saw a new tank phalanx appear behind the Panther tank phalanx!

These tanks overall look fatter than the previous Panther tanks, especially the black tank guns, whose caliber seems to have reached a terrifying 100mm!

"Oh God!" Are these Germans crazy? The Panther tank equipped with an 88mm tank gun can already sweep across all directions. They actually developed a new type of tank? ! Are you going to let others live? !

"..." Everyone's eyes were focused on the commentator, and they all wanted to hear about the performance of this tank, although it was only about the performance of the tank gun. Living up to everyone's expectations, the commentator explained slightly proudly. "This is a new tank that is about to be put into service, code-named Tiger. It is equipped with a 105mm L/56 tank gun and can penetrate 300mm thick homogeneous armor at a distance of 2,500 meters."

Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Yannick couldn't help but lament that the British Empire was indeed an old empire. Even if it declined, its heritage should not be underestimated. Take this tank gun developed in the late 1950s. Even in the 21st century, the L7 gun family is still active around the world.

Shortly after the British in the original time and space installed the first L7 105 tank gun on the Centurion MK5 in 1959, the gun made its debut in the Middle East. As Israel faced tremendous pressure from Arab countries with a large number of Soviet-made tanks, Britain, out of its own interests, sold more than 380 Centurion tanks equipped with L7 guns to Israel.

Since then, the Middle East battlefield has become a place of grievances between L7 and the five pairs of Soviet-made wheels. The Israelis, who are good at magic modification, have installed the L7 they have on all tanks that can install it, including the original Centurion, the American M48, the homemade Merkava MK1/2, and even combined it with five pairs of wheels to form the Tiran 4 /Type 5 tank.

In the previous Middle East wars since 1967, these tanks and the Soviet tank armies of Egypt and Syria fought against each other on the Sinai Peninsula, achieving a considerable battle loss ratio. The Arab coalition forces that once fought abandoned their armor and helped Israel has gained a firm foothold amid the Arab siege.

L7's outstanding performance in the Middle East battlefield has undoubtedly given itself a dazzling signature. For decades before the M256 120mm smoothbore gun was put into service, the Americans had been using L7's self-produced M68 to equip their main battles. Tanks, including M48A5, M60, and M1.

When Germany, another tank power, developed its first main battle tank, the Leopard 1, it did not hesitate to adopt the L7A3 main gun. During the most tense years of the Cold War between the East and West, the NATO main battle tanks carrying the L7 became the mainstay in blocking the torrent of Soviet steel.

Of course, the main purpose of displaying this tank is also to scare people, so only 30 tanks participated in this parade, but this has been the entire production in the past few months, and even one of them was an emergency vehicle that engineers spent one night It was restored just in time for this military parade.
