Toshitsu Okubo in Japan in the Far East, Li Hongzhang in China, President Grant in North America, Brazil, Peru, Argentina in South America…

The military parade in Madrid this time can be said to have brought together leaders from all over the world.

January 1, 1876 at 9:00 am

Today's Alfonso wears the king's clothes, wearing a crown symbolizing kingship, and holding a scepter in his hand.

Standing on the high stands built on both sides of Castile Avenue, surrounded by ministers of various governments, and some government officials of their own countries.

The two sides of the stand were already full of people, and the upstairs of the residents was already full of Spanish red, yellow and red flags.

This was prepared spontaneously by the people. Since Alfonso put the name of the world's No. 1 Army on the Spanish Army through publicity, the enthusiasm of the people has been increasing.

At exactly 9:00, the Spanish national anthem, the Royal March, began to sound, and the whole place became quiet. Six soldiers in uniforms started walking by holding a Spanish flag together.

The national flag in the distance was also slowly stretched to the highest point under the **** of the flag bearer, and the eyes of all the Spaniards were staring at the national flag.

As for why no one sings the national anthem, the Spanish national anthem only has songs and no lyrics. This is also a point that has always been ridiculed.

The national anthem ended, and the national flag was raised at the highest point. The audience was silent. King Alfonso XII walked to the front of the stage and held up the microphone in front of everyone's eyes:

"On this solemn occasion, I deliver this message to every member of the public, no matter where you are,

Most of us have experienced war, and we are looking for a way to let soldiers who died for our country have no worries,

Standing here today, our thoughts are full of thoughts, and here will be the soldiers who are about to sleep for the dignity of the nation and the strength of the country.

They fell down. Because of their love for the country, they bravely moved forward without fear of sacrifice. When they needed it most, they dedicated their lives to the motherland and the people.

Their names will shine with the sun and the moon. We will always remember them. Only by remembering them can we know how precious our independence and dignity are now.

Only by remembering them can we feel so strongly that for the prosperity of Spain, those of us should work harder and follow the footsteps of the heroes, advancing and advancing again.

Spain is counting on you tomorrow, young Spanish! "

After King Alfonso XII finished speaking the contents of the speech, he looked around at all the Spaniards, and all the Spaniards also met the king's gaze.

"Long live the heroes! Long live Spain!"

Alfonso dropped the manuscript and raised his arms and shouted.

"Long live the heroes! Long live Spain!"

Everyone frantically waved the Spanish flag in their hands. The scene was like a sea of ​​red and yellow. They shouted in unison:

"Long live the heroes! Long live Spain!"

Spain in January is the coldest time, but the warm-colored national flags all over the streets seem to drive away the cold winter and place themselves in a warm sun.

Fanatical people, the flag waving all over the sky, the atmosphere of the scene is getting higher and higher.

King Alfonso XII pressed his hands down to signal silence. After a while, the scene returned to silence, and the people looked at Alfonso.

"Let's let the heroes wear their robes and send them to the Church of San Isidro."

The audience burst into cheers again, the grand military music began to play, and the military parade began.

Wearing 36-type military uniforms, m16 helmets, and high military boots, the army soldiers began to enter the field with neat steps.

The 12 salutes started firing in unison.

The soldiers in black military uniforms slanted their Vielli rifles with dazzling bayonets, and took regular steps, the sound of their footsteps hitting the ground like heavy hammers.

More and more soldiers lined up to enter the field, and the long queue was like a black torrent.

When the first group of soldiers was about a third of the way out, the officers began to loudly lead the soldiers to sing a military song.

After passing in front of King Alfonso XII, he continued to walk forward with a neat salute.

When a group of teams holding boxes appeared at the starting point, the military song stopped, and the people stopped cheering, each box is a hero.

Everyone in the audience stopped talking. They looked at the long line with solemn eyes, and only the uniform footsteps of the soldiers remained.

On both sides of the Church of San Isidro, a large-scale military band sang battle songs for the upcoming martyrs.

As the martyrs arrived, they were sent into the church in rows, and a soprano suddenly sounded in the military band at the entrance of the church.

The sound of the battle song gradually became more intense, and more and more warriors began to be sent into the cathedral.

"In the Deep Mountains"

"Black Blood Moon"

"Sleeping in the Twilight"

"Two Armies at War"

"Allegiance to the King and Queen"

"Victory"

"Blood Fight"

"The Brave Warrior"

……

The enthusiastic soprano began to sing this victory for the martyrs in a loop. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Beginning with the king, all the crowd began to pray, solemn people and passionate battle songs, everyone was sending off the martyrs.

German Prime Minister Bismarck watched this scene, his turbid eyes showed a trace of shock.

Born in Prussia, an army that owns a country, he began to serve at a young age and couldn't help thinking of the past,

If he saw off the soldiers like this in Prussia when he was young, maybe he would choose to die in honor at a certain moment to enjoy the glory of this moment...

The reactions of representatives from various countries were different. French Foreign Minister Decaz looked at the army and the crowd in front of him and couldn't help wondering if the invincible French army in the Napoleonic era was also so glorious...

The representatives of South American countries also looked at these compatriots who spoke the same language as them with complex eyes, thinking that the Spanish army in South America was so mighty and majestic...

The most complicated thing at the scene was the isolated Li Hongzhang. He couldn't help but imagine that if they had such an army, a series of treaties that would humiliate the country would not exist.

He turned his head to look at Alfonso XII on the high platform, remembered his queen mother again, and sighed silently...

When the last martyr was sent into the cathedral, the impassioned soprano stopped singing the battle song, and the soldiers lined up in pairs of rectangular facelifts facing the church of San Isidro.

The national anthem was played again, a salute was fired, and the family members of the martyrs not far from the church began to cry.

They were saddened by the passing of their relatives, and looked at everyone in the arena with gratitude.

They died in a glorious battle for the country, and the country saw him off with honor. This is the respect that no country can get. What else is there to be dissatisfied with?
