Chapter 79 Emergency

The troops of the four countries that were reviewed, the 248th Infantry Division of the Red Banner, the 2nd Infantry Division of the French Army, the 130th Infantry Brigade of the British Army, and the 82nd Airborne Division of the US Army, under the watchful eyes of more than 20,000 Berlin citizens, passed from the Congress The grand parade from the building to the Brandenburg Gate begins.

The order of the military parade of the infantry phalanx was first started by Soviet soldiers. On the rostrum, Marshal Zhukov of the Soviet Union, Marshal Montgomery of the United Kingdom, General Eisenhower of the United States and General Delater De Tasini of France represented high-level allied forces. The commanders stood shoulder to shoulder.

Accompanied by the majestic military music, Soviet soldiers walked past the rostrum one by one on goose steps. On the wall not far away were giant portraits of Churchill, Truman and Stalin, the three giants of the Allied Powers. Reporters from various countries held cameras and took pictures of the queue. Although Alan Wilson did not have a camera in his hand, his eyes did not leave the queue. Whether you admit it or not, when it comes to military parades, compared with socialist countries, the Anglo-American and French sides are indeed almost meaningless.

If there is no military parade for the soldiers of the Soviet Red Army, the little commissioner would not bother to come, it is better to watch the mass parade.

Sure enough, after the Soviet soldiers strutted past the rostrum, the French phalanx that was being reviewed appeared, which looked quite inferior.

"The French parade phalanx doesn't seem too serious!" Eiffel, the vanguard of insulting the law, whispered.

"We are allies!" Alan Wilson reminded softly, but who maliciously arranged the order of the Soviet Union followed by France. Such a comparison really shows that French soldiers are not good at it.

Of course, this is only the one-sided understanding of the two diplomats. Any national phalanx that appeared has murdered a lot of films, and there is no lack of applause. You cannot hold prejudice just because it is a French phalanx.

After the walking phalanx, the heavy weapon phalanx started from the UK, and the Soviet Union made its finale. The British troops attending the military parade came from the 7th Armored Division of Field Marshal Montgomery. This is the ace unit of the British army that has been famous since the North African campaign. It greeted the cheers of all the British present just after it came out.

The finale weapon pulled out by the 7th Armored Division to participate in the military parade was the Comet cruiser tank. On the North African battlefield, British tanks had no artillery that could destroy German tanks. This is also one of the reasons why the British army suffered consecutive defeats. For this reason, the British Ministry of Defense decided to develop a more powerful cruiser tank based on the Cromwell cruiser tank, which is the origin of the Comet tank.

The main gun of the Comet cruise tank is the 17-pound gun known as the strongest tank gun of the Allied forces on the Western Front. Although Alan Wilson, the commissioner of Hyderabad, has been trying to sell this tank to the Indians, but since It is my own child, so it is naturally full of advantages, and Alan Wilson also joined in the cheers.

Of course he has reason to cheer. The Sherman tanks of the U.S. military are not better than the Comet cruiser tanks at all. Some indicators are not as good as the Comet tanks. The army is not inferior at all. If it can't be better, it can't be worse. This is a world that is worse.

As the heavy weapons phalanxes of France and the United States were reviewed, the finale of the heavy weapons phalanx was the heavy tank regiment of the Second Tank Army of the Soviet Guards.

"What is that?" General Eisenhower stared at the Soviet tank that appeared. This was a Soviet tank that had never been seen by the US military. However, from its terrifying appearance, it could already be seen that this Soviet tank was a British and American tank. The tanks in active service are by no means opponents, and the huge main guns seem to have the power to destroy everything.

Compared with Marshal Montgomery, who was simply curious about the performance of weapons, General Eisenhower obviously paid more attention to deeper issues. Did the Soviet Union show its military power to deter the United States, Britain and France through this military parade?

Generals and military officers from various countries present were talking about it. It was a new type of tank they had never seen before. Its circular turret and unique body shape left a deep impression on the generals of the Allied Powers.

Two rows of IS-3 heavy tanks slowly passed in front of the rostrum,

It caused a lot of discussion, but Marshal Zhukov looked smug, in stark contrast with military officers from other countries.

Eisenhower also discovered this, and just about to silence his voice, so as not to be laughed at by the Soviets, a staff officer quickly came to Eisenhower's side, whispering something at a very fast speed.

"What?" General Eisenhower lost his voice. Obviously, this incident made him lose his composure even more than the Soviet heavy tank just now.

Eisenhower's gaffe caused a lot of sideways glances, because the Soviet tank had just passed by, and many people thought it was a new Soviet weapon, which frightened the commander-in-chief of the US military.

Eisenhower didn't have time to think about these things. The news just came was more important than the Soviet tanks in front of him. He directly ordered to the staff officer in a low voice, "Have they poured into Austria now? Why don't we stop them?"

"Austria is only able to defend the border with the Soviet army, and we have no army in the occupied area." The staff officer said with a wry smile, "The armies of the United States, Britain, and France have not officially entered Austria, and they only have nominal forces. Discuss this at the meeting."

Eisenhower's head was buzzing. From this point of view, it was indeed an oversight, but it led to such serious consequences.

The problem is that he can't solve this problem at all. This is not something he or Marshal Zhukov can decide. Only the leaders of the current countries can decide when they will be able to enter Austria and carry out the four-nation occupation.

"General Eisenhower, the Marshal asked me to ask, is there something wrong with you?" Before General Eisenhower could figure out a solution, a Soviet officer came over and greeted in proficient English.

The huge fleeing team, after marching throughout the night, has approached the border between Germany and Austria. Stimulated by the desire to survive, these refugees approached the German border step by step, not only without any fatigue.

The women and children were in the front, and the adult men were behind, full of the desire to survive, maintaining the marching speed throughout the night.

General Eisenhower, who was still in the military parade in Berlin, finally insisted on finishing the military parade, and immediately asked his staff to contact the American agency in Austria to find out what the status of this group of refugees was and where their destination was, and at the same time informed the British representative movement in the border area.

In fact, Alan Wilson also knew the news after the military parade. Who told him that he was the liaison officer who dealt with this matter before? Although he knew it well, Alan Wilson also understood that this matter must not Playing smart, concealing and not reporting is not enough, and quickly went to the residence of Cabinet Secretary Edward Bridges to report.
