Chapter 161 Review

1868 11 Month 11 Day.

The royal family of Hechingen held a cadet review ceremony on the outskirts of Hechingen.

After passing the exam, the total number of students is only 300, but this is the first batch of relatively high-quality students since the establishment of the Hechingen Military Academy, so they are well-educated, obey orders, and look quite military. .

morning.

It's past six o'clock.

Started to build the reviewing stand, dedicated to the royal family of Hechingen, where Prince Constantine and Ernst sat.

On both sides of the review stand, viewing stands were set up for the teachers of the college and the officials of the gentry in the Hexingen area to watch the ceremony respectively.

At eight o'clock, the students of Hechingen Military Academy began to gather and entered the inspection area.

"Today, everyone, listen carefully. This review is different from the one in the school in the past, but it is really aimed at the public and the officials and gentry in Hexingen and the surrounding areas, so you can't make a mistake.

If it is because of the stupidity of someone or some people, not only you will lose face, but also the face of the Hexingen Military Academy, the face of the Hexingen region, and the face of the prince and His Royal Highness.

Therefore, no mistakes are allowed. If you are ugly in front of the guests, my coach will greet you well when you go back. Do you hear me? "

"Report to the instructor, I heard it." The students responded loudly and seriously, each with a resolute and solemn expression on their faces.

Today, the students of the Hexingen Military Academy are all wearing the military uniforms of the Hexingen army, which is a one-to-one replica of the costumes of the army led by the original Hexingen royal family.

This is the first large-scale semi-military force formed by the royal family of Hexingen since Hexingen was incorporated into Prussia.

It seems that Hexingen has returned to the state of one of the more than 30 German states back then. The small-scale Hexingen army, which is also considered one of the military forces in the German region, is back.

Of course, everyone knew that Hexingen would not be able to go back. Among the people who watched the ceremony this time were officials from the Hohenzollern Province of the Kingdom of Prussia, including the military chief sent by the local Prussian government in Hexingen.

The royal family of Hexingen only has many privileges and great autonomy, and the rule of the Hexingen area is actually the Prussian government.

Hexingen Military Academy is registered as an educational institution, so naturally it cannot be compared with the army, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is the army, and it is the private army of the Hexingen royal family.

At nine o'clock, the royal family of Hechingen arrived late, and Prince Constantine and Ernst came in a carriage from Hohenzollern Castle in the south.

At this time, many people had already come, including the townspeople of Hexingen who joined in the fun. They hadn't seen the royal family of Hexingen hold a military parade for many years. Naturally, they wanted to join in the fun today, and many of them were veterans who had fought with the old earl and prince.

Prince Constantine specially invited them to the viewing stand, and the army of the Prince of Hechingen was gone, but the fact that these veterans had gone through fire and water for the royal family of Hechingen could not be erased.

At [-]:[-], Prince Constantine made the first speech.

"Hechingen is a region with a long history, and it is also the place where the Hohenzollern family originated, and the Hohenzollern family is closely related to the people of Hechingen.

And the Hechingen Military Academy is to inherit and carry forward the fine traditions and virtues of the Hechingen area..."

Prince Constantine, as the speaker of the Hechingen region, was followed by the headmaster Ernst. Ernst stood on the reviewing platform and began to give lectures.

"Hechingen Military Academy, as a military academy, shoulders the important task of cultivating professional military talents. It not only serves the Hechingen region, but also is a good place for all aspiring young people in the entire German region.

Learn professional knowledge here, cultivate the spirit of bravery and fearlessness, understand the honor of soldiers, and be the pillar of the future society.

……

When the school was founded, I adhered to the idea of ​​cultivating the Military Academy of Hechingen into an important military institution in the German region in the future. However, it was limited by conditions and time, and at the same time (East African) society desperately needed a large number of talents, which led to the Military Academy of Hechingen. Become the master, but such a quick course also squeezes the potential of the students.

In the future, Hechingen Military Academy will enter the stage of quality and refinement from the past pursuit of quantity and speed.

Every student will receive better educational resources, so the students of Hechingen Military Academy should be more strict with themselves, strive to improve their own level, and strive for Germany in the future. "

After Ernst's speech, the review was officially announced.

Under the guidance of instructors and student cadres, the military band first played a Prussian national anthem, pure music, which was shown to Prussian government officials.

At the same time as the music sounded, the students of the Hechingen Military Academy began to prepare.

Then the military band began to play, the school song of the Hechingen Military Academy, and the melody was played.

The instructors led the team into the arena, and the students of the Hechingen Military Academy were divided into eleven square teams, and marched at a constant speed on the temporary site to accept the review.

"The glory of Germany bathed Hexinggen,
The military academy trains hard,

Strive to be a good son of the times,

Defend Germany, defend your homeland.

......"

The students of the Hechingen Military Academy sang the school song of the Hechingen Military Academy along with the music of the military band.

Ernst invited some well-known musicians to complete this school song in Vienna, the capital of music. It sounds like a smooth melody, solid tone and regular rhythm.

Under the guidance of the military flag, they marched in Prussian goose step, carried a Dreiser rifle on their shoulders, and passed in front of the reviewing stand majesticly.

The guests on the viewing platform looked at the young team in front of them and applauded one after another. Leaving aside the technical aspect, this mental state is very good.

The invited Prussian military chief in the Hechingen area said to the surrounding guests: "Their training level is much higher than that of the Prussian ordinary army before the reform, but there are still some flaws. Just in terms of their technical aspects such as lining up and following orders, they are estimated to be the same as the current Prussian ordinary army. The army is about the same, but they are all young and have more promise in the future."

In fact, he didn't think so in his heart. Of course, he didn't know how much he weighed in an army that hadn't been baptized by war.

Hechingen Military Academy is currently on the right track, and its organizational ability can be seen through, but the enemy will not give you such a relaxed environment in the battlefield environment.

Therefore, the Prussian military officer stationed in Hexingen was not sure about the combat effectiveness of the Hexingen Military Academy. The combat experience and level of combat effectiveness must be inferior to the Kingdom’s army. In my personal opinion, the training of these students by the Hexingen royal family is far inferior to the professional military academies established by the Kingdom.”

If Ernst knew that this military official wrote this, he would definitely not take it seriously. The road to Hechingen Military Academy has just begun.

Today's military parade is only the prelude to the reform of the Hechingen Military Academy. After the professional teacher team and facilities are built, it will be the beginning of the Hechingen Military Academy's efforts.

Whether the students of the Hechingen Military Academy are mules or horses will be determined after two years.
