Amid the majestic music, the five Standing Committee members of the Interim Executive Committee and twelve Executive Committee members walked up to the rostrum in front of Gordon Hall, and thunderous applause quickly rang out from the audience.

After Xia Bohai sat down at the table, he looked at the crowd of people in the rostrum. He thought that it was almost as good as 50,000 or 60,000 people. He couldn't help but say to Qin Zheng who was sitting beside him: "Old Qin, this is too grand. Will it be too wasteful? You know that we are not rich yet."

Qin Zheng had no words, and Wang Yunpengji on the other side said, "Commander Xia, this is also to inspire people. Although the Tianjin Defense War has shown our military power, the awareness of the masses in this era is not high. We need to let them know that foreigners can fight China's surrender by a few cannons at sea, and the history of China's surrender has ended, so even if it is wasteful of manpower and material resources, it is worth it."

Qin Zheng also smiled and said, "Yes, we haven't been ashore for a long time, so it is necessary to hold a grand celebration to enhance our prestige. After all, it is impossible for the masses to go to the battlefield to watch us fight."

For this celebration, the Travel Group did waste a lot of manpower and material resources. It took nearly ten days to prepare the site. The entire venue was centered on Gordon Hall, including the entire Victoria Garden. Not only was the rostrum built, but the viewing platform was also built on both sides of the rostrum. In addition, a set of audio equipment and twenty speakers were removed from the passenger and rostrum. In order to maintain order on the scene, not only the newly established armed police forces under the Ministry of Public Security, but also the earliest naturalized people of the Travel Group were dispatched, and even the female army and the students of the Hope School were sent out.

At this time, Xu Jichao looked around on the rostrum. There were about 2,000 travelers sitting on the viewing platform on the rostrum. Most of them came from Dagukou this morning. There was also an observation platform that was invited by the consulates of various countries. I looked at the audience. There was also a people listed in more than ten large squares across the rostrum. They were basically local residents of Tianjin, and nearly half of them came from the countryside. Then he said: "Commander Xia, Political Commissar Qin, you can start."

Xia Bohai said, "Let's start."

Xu Jichao immediately stood up, took the microphone, and said, "Please rest assured."

The loud speaker immediately spread Xu Jichao's voice into Victoria Garden. The police, soldiers, and students from the Hope School who maintained order in the audience all greeted: "Don't talk, don't talk, and it will start soon."

The crowd of people who were talking gradually became quiet. At this time, Xu Jichao said: "I announce that the conference to celebrate the victory of the Tianjin Defense Battle has begun now."

After hearing this, the police, soldiers and students in the audience immediately began to applaud, and under their leadership, the onlookers also applauded. After a long time, the applause subsided, and Xu Jichao said again: "Please give Commander Xia a speech."

Xia Bohai stood up, first saluted the left and right of the audience, which caused another warm applause, and then picked up the microphone and said, "Comrades, friends, guests, and fellow villagers, today we are here to celebrate the victory of the Tianjin Defense War, and at the same time declared that the era of the Eight-Nation Alliance's dominance in China has ended. As long as we are with our army, invaders will not be allowed to rampant on China's land. Of course, although we have won the Tianjin Defense War, there are still some Eight-Nation Alliance still occupying the Beijing area. However, the facts tell us that all imperialism is a paper tiger. As long as we unite and fight with them, we will win. I, Xia Bohai, in these solemn promises, will definitely drive all the Eight-Nation Alliance out of China."

After Xia Bohai finished, warm applause suddenly erupted from the audience. Although there were many words that the people could not understand, everyone understood Xia Bohai's words "Driving all the Eight-Nation Alliance out of China". Therefore, this time the applause was a cheer from the heart of the people of Tianjin.

At this time, the consuls of various countries on the viewing platform all looked awkward, and some people were restless. Originally, the attack of the Eight-Nation Alliance and the German fleet made the consuls of various countries in Tianjin excited and thought that good days were coming soon, but the result of the Tianjin defense war disappointed the consuls of various countries. Because they all responded to their consuls, they could no longer launch new military operations on China in a short period of time, so they asked the consuls of various countries and commercial personnel to do their best to protect themselves. At the same time, they collected information from this group of overseas Chinese as much as possible.

The consuls of all countries are very smart people and immediately understand that their country has the intention to negotiate with this group of overseas Chinese. After all, if they can't defeat, they cooperate, which is one of the Western principles of conduct. Moreover, this group of overseas Chinese is much more civilized than the Chinese and does not regard all foreigners as enemies. Therefore, there is still a certain guarantee of personal safety, but they just have to be a human being. But under the low eaves, how dare they not be at the bottom? The consuls of various countries have also warned their own personnel to not have conflicts with the Chinese during this period.

This time the Travel Group held a conference to celebrate the victory of the Tianjin Defense Battle, and also sent invitations to consulates and other personnel from all countries. Although consuls from all countries knew that this was a demonstration by overseas Chinese to various countries, they still came to participate with their noses in order to collect intelligence. Other personnel from all countries had their own goals. Some were observing the behavior of this group of overseas Chinese, while others wanted to find opportunities to establish good relations with overseas Chinese. Therefore, more than 100 foreigners were invited to participate in the viewing platform. At this time, they were carefully observing everything on the viewing platform.

But after hearing Xia Bohai's speech, many people felt a little cold. It seemed that this group of overseas Chinese were not ready to stop, but some people with a keen sense of smell heard some tricks from their speeches, because Xia Bohai just "drives all the Eight-Nation Alliance out of China" rather than "drives all the foreigners out of China", and there is still a lot of room for maneuver. Anyway, the Eight-Nation Alliance was almost crippled, so it would be better for both sides to take a step back and negotiate based on this. After all, the Eight-Nation Alliance still has Beijing now, and it is not completely bargaining.

At this time, Xia Bohai announced that the military parade began.

Even if it is a conference to celebrate the victory of the battle, there will naturally be no military parade. Moreover, the military parade is also the best way to show its own strength and military power, and it is also the best way to enhance people's confidence. Therefore, time travelers will naturally not let it go.

The military parade was carried out in the form of square formations in the old style of time and space. The first thing that entered the venue was the flag guarding phalanx, and the flag was the military flag of the crossing fleet. Because the current time-travel group is not a country yet, it is impossible to hold a flag-raising ceremony, but the flag guarding phalanx takes the lead is the tradition of the military parade, which cannot be saved.

After the flag guarding phalanx, the naval phalanx and the army phalanx are respectively composed of time-travel soldiers. Each phalanx is 1*1 in size. With three leading officers, there are a total of 17 soldiers.

The three square formations walked in from the south with uniform steps. When passing by the rostrum, they changed from walking in unison to walking in a straight manner, stomping on the ground with a loud sound, and shouted the slogan "Defend the country and fight bravely to fight the enemy."

Although the preparation time for this military parade was insufficient, it still did not meet the level of the military parade in the old time and space, and could not achieve the absolute standard of cloning the legion, the soldiers participating in the military parade had all experienced the baptism of the battlefield and naturally showed a shocking murderous aura.

This was the first time that the people onlookers saw such a military parade. They thought it was novel and interesting at first, but when the square formation was marching and shouting slogans, they were all silent, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of awe in their hearts.

The consuls of various countries are well-informed and have participated in several military parades in their own country, and several of them were soldiers. At this time, they compared the military parades of time travelers with the military parades of their own country in their own country, and concluded that except for the insufficient scale, the others are not below their own country.

After the three square arrays, there is an equipment square array. 16 Murder cars participated, all of which are open models, arranged in three-one to form four rows. There is a Type 89 heavy machine gun on the front two rows of Murder cars, and a 100mm mortar is placed on the rear two rows of Murder cars.

In fact, whether to equip the phalanx to participate in the military parade caused a controversy in the army. In the old time and space, it was also a fixed tradition to display the latest and most advanced equipment of the troops. It also demonstrated the country's military strength and military technology. The military parade held by the Time Travel Group did have the intention of shocking foreigners, so some people suggested to pull out the 05 two-barrel tank to participate in the military parade to show the strength of the Time Travel Group.

However, this plan was rejected by the Interim Military Commission, because the 05 two-character tank is a trump card of the army and cannot be easily shown to others. In addition, it is also a worry that it will inspire foreigners. After all, cars and crawler tractors have been invented at this time. There are no insurmountable obstacles from cars and crawler tractors to tanks. As long as the power of the engine is reached, it is enough.

However, it is indeed necessary to display certain equipment at the military parade. Therefore, the temporary Military Commission finally decided to let the military parade of the military parade of the open-type car. On the one hand, the warriors of the open-type car will not give any inspiration to various countries. It is just a car on the horizontal and vertical level, and it will not cause much surprise. On the other hand, it also showed the science and technology of the Crossing Group to various countries. At least in terms of automotive technology, the Crossing Group is stronger than that of all countries, and that is enough.
