Chapter 99 Grand Parade (please subscribe!)

January 10, 1902, eight o'clock in the morning, Sydney, in the square opposite the National Government Building.

After a long period of preparation, Australia Day, which is highly anticipated by all Australians, has finally arrived.

Early in the morning today, more than tens of thousands of people gathered in this square. Some of these people brought stools and food with them, and some just took nothing at all. They just took their relatives and friends to get a good seat, and then We sat down on the floor and started talking.

But it's not easy to get a good spot in this small square. The perfect location near the military parade platform and the parade avenue has already been booked by people. What's more, some people came here the day before just to occupy a better position during the military parade ceremony.

This is enough to show the madness of Australians. In order to be able to see their Duke and the soldiers who have been training for more than half a year closer, what does it matter if he stays up all night to occupy a position?

As time went by, there were more and more people in the square. A large crowd even gathered outside the square, and several main streets in Sydney were blocked with water.

Fortunately, the car is not officially for sale yet, otherwise it would be difficult to drive the car on the road on days like today.

With the bell from the bell tower, the arrival of eight o'clock is officially announced.

A car slowly drove over from a distance. This car was the personal car built by Benz and Diesel for Arthur.

After modification, the body materials are made of reinforced steel and laminated glass. As long as they are not shot by heavy machine guns and rifles, the safety of the passengers in the car can basically be guaranteed.

Because of this, the cost of building this car is very high. On the premise of strengthening its protective capabilities, it can also ensure that the vehicle's own power is not lost or even slightly improved.

When the crowd saw the car arriving, they understood that the person in the car was their beloved Duke.

The crowd immediately burst into cheers, welcoming Arthur's arrival.

The guard opened the car door, and Arthur walked out. He chuckled and nodded to the crowd, and then joined the government officials. Arthur took the lead and walked onto the parade stage step by step.

On the stage are microphones that have been prepared long ago, connected to several larger loudspeakers around the square.

In order to allow the crowds around the square and even in several surrounding streets to hear Arthur and other officials' speeches, the government had no choice but to use large loudspeaker equipment.

Although this will cause louder noise to people who are closer, it will not cause damage to people's ears. This is also the result of the government's tests.

As Arthur approached the microphone, the National Day ceremony officially began.

"Good morning, all the people of Australia." Arthur looked at the audience and spoke slowly: "Today is a great day for Australia. Our great motherland, Australia, officially celebrated its anniversary two years ago today. Declared to be established. In the blink of an eye, two years have passed, and we have witnessed the country we love slowly develop from a barren land with nothing to an emerging country with a certain industrial foundation. We have built industry and established Schools, hospitals, nursing homes, orphanages and a series of facilities that are beneficial to Australians. Now, we can finally proudly declare that we have the confidence to live in Australia and the confidence to live happily in Australia!"

Following Arthur's speech, the audience continued to applaud, which seemed to confirm Australia's development during this period.

“But this is not the ultimate goal for me and the government and Australia. We still have to continue to work hard, as do the government and all Australian people. We must establish a more complete welfare system and ensure and respect the rights of every Australian. We must We must also develop our military to ensure the independence and tranquility of our great country. Australia..."

Arthur's speech lasted for half an hour, and the content of his speech was thousands of characters.

Most of them promote the achievements of the Australian government and royal family, and encourage all Australians to continue to strive forward.

Judging from Arthur's status and reputation in the hearts of Australians, the chicken soup is very effective, making many Australians eager to devote themselves to Australia's development struggle.

Seeing that his speech successfully ignited the scene, Arthur nodded with satisfaction and handed over the next step to Prime Minister Evan.

Naturally, Arthur could not preside over the entire National Day ceremony, so this important task was handed over to the government's most prestigious Prime Minister Evan.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I declare that the celebration of the second anniversary of the founding of Australia has officially begun! First, all Australians are asked to solemnly watch our flag rise in this sky and play music!" Prime Minister Evan said solemnly.

There are no clear regulations on national anthem, and most countries in the world do not have a national anthem.

Therefore, important events in Australia quote the British national anthem God Save the King. After all, Arthur is also a direct member of the British royal family.

As the solemn God Save the King slowly sounded in the sky of the square, the brightly colored Australian flag gradually rose to the sky.

Everyone at the scene, including Asai, watched the flag rise slowly with seriousness and concern.

The Australian flag flying in the sky unfolds gracefully and soars freely in the sky.

"Next, under the order of His Highness the Duke, a military parade will be held!" After the flag-raising ceremony was completed, Prime Minister Evan continued.

"Come on, soldiers. At this great moment of the second anniversary of the founding of the motherland, under the joint witness of all the Australian people and me, let everyone see the greatness of the Australian army!" Arthur said with a smile.

Arthur was very satisfied with the trained army.

The new army is an elite group of soldiers trained jointly by German training experts and soldiers of the British Royal Guards. Both in terms of military discipline and combat capabilities, they are definitely above the excellent level.

Although this also costs a lot of training costs, it is definitely worth it.

Click, click, click!

Accompanied by a neat and shocking sound of horse hooves, the Royal Guards Cavalry Battalion took the lead.

Needless to say, the reputation of the Royal Guards of the British Empire goes without saying. With their uniform weapons and uniforms, coupled with the uniform pace and movements of each soldier, they definitely look like a strong and iron-blooded army.

"For the honor of His Highness, move forward!" The soldiers of the Guards Cavalry Battalion shouted vigorously as they passed the parade platform.

Third update, please support! Do you have any suggestions on the organization of the army? We can talk about it.
