Rudolph knew that he didn't have much time left. The 33rd year was about to pass, and there were still two years left before the Spanish Civil War led by Franco broke out. Almost all the European countries would intervene.
Although Italy, who thought highly of itself, was a pawn to attract hatred, it was impossible for the country to not attract the attention of others.
All the powerful countries would put their hearts into the weapon to test its true power, and the country would definitely not give up this opportunity. At this time, it would inevitably arouse the vigilance of Britain and France, and there would even be some extreme actions.
Rudolph didn't want to just provide a batch of weapons. He needed to put them into a real fight and let the blood and fire in the battle test the combat effectiveness of the National Defense Force.
Only then could they discover problems and make timely adjustments. After all, combat power that always stayed on paper was not truly reliable.
In order to celebrate the achievements of the series of German actions and test the army, the military parade that had been delayed for a year was officially held. Rudolph hoped to prove to the world and his own people through this military parade.
Germany had already stood up again, and no force could stop the resilience of this Germanic nation from improving itself and reviving.
As the prime minister, Rudolph didn't wear a suit, but his major general's uniform. Even though he couldn't have a high position in the military as a government official, it didn't change the fact that he used to be a major general of the National Defense Force and now controlled most of the army.
At this time, Hindeburg stood at the front. He looked even older, and his whole body looked a little hunched. Most of the people's attention was focused on Rudolph, the former major general of the National Defense Force and the current prime minister.
When he appeared, the cheers that were like a tsunami drowned out the president. People shouted Rudolph's name crazily, as if they had taken drugs. This made some of the higher-ups of other countries envious.
It seemed that a god had gradually appeared in Germany. No! It should be that the people believed in this person as if he was a god. The economic crisis that was a nightmare in the eyes of other countries was easily resolved in his hands. The surprise of the country began to recover like a myth.
In 1933, the GNP growth reached a terrifying 100%. Although it had not returned to the level before the first world war, it was not far from it. It would only take five or ten years to surpass France and catch up with the Ying country, which was the second largest country in the world.
In the Wehrmacht, whether it was Keitel, Raeder, and the other mainstays, or the new nobles Guderian, Manstein, or Rommel, they all stood behind him to protect him. Even though Keitel was qualified to stand in the first row, he still left this seat empty.
Therefore, there were only two people in the first row. One was Hindeburg, and the other was Rudolph. The former represented the past, while the latter represented the present and the future.
The military parade was about to begin!
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Hindeburg began his speech.
"This is a new beginning, long live Germany!”
He raised his right hand and shouted the slogan. He saluted to the audience and then turned to Rudolph.
"Long live President Hindeburg! Long live Germany! Long live the German people!"
Rudolph also returned a standard military salute, his eyes full of solemnity.
"Long live Germany! Long live Hindeburg! Long live Rudolph!"
The crowd roared like a tsunami. Yi Lang's voice was louder than a wave, and the atmosphere was instantly ignited.
Many of the soldiers even had tears in their eyes. Their faces were red as they waved their fists with all their strength, shouting in their hearts.
They had been waiting for this moment for 15 years. The humiliation of defeat, the helplessness of being trampled on, and the continuous suppression of the country's army.
All of this had caused the hot-blooded and unyielding army to live day after day in helplessness and inferiority. Today, everything would be in the past. The glory of the Imperial Defense Force was worth defending with their lives.
Even if they were to attack immediately, more than half of them would not hesitate to pick up their weapons and head to the border.
"A man would rather die in combat than build a great wall!”These words from the distant East had somehow become the motto of the entire German army. The best defense was to attack and completely eliminate all threats!
"Next, let's welcome the former National Defense Force Major General, Prime Minister Rudolph, to give a speech and review the troops!”
After Hindeburg nodded, the host stepped forward and spoke.
At this time, Hindeburg had already reached the point of exhaustion. As expected, next year would be his last day, and he could not even say much.
This time, it was more like a silent power transfer, whether in name or in reality.
