Chapter 161 Review
November 11, 1868.
The royal family of Hexingen held a cadet review ceremony in the suburb of Hexingen.
After passing the exam, the total number of students is only about 3,300, but this is the first batch of relatively high-quality students since the establishment of the Hexingen Military Academy, so they are highly educated, obey orders, and look like soldiers demeanor.
morning.
It's past six o'clock.
Start to build the reviewing stand, dedicated to the royal family of Hechingen, which is where Prince Constantine and Ernst sit.
Viewing stands were set up on both sides of the reviewing platform for the teachers of the college and the gentry officials of the Hechingen 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 one or some people, it will not only be you who will lose face, but also the face of the Hechingen Military Academy, the face of the Hechingen region, and the face of the prince and His Royal Highness.
So, no mistakes are allowed. If you don’t look 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 solemnly, and everyone had a resolute and solemn expression on their faces.
Today, all the students of the Hechingen Military Academy are wearing the military uniforms of the Hechingen army, which is a one-to-one replica of the costumes of the army led by the original Hechingen royal family.
This is the first large-scale semi-military force formed by the Hexingen royal family 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, has returned.
Of course, everyone knew that Hexingen could not 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 Hechingen.
The Hexingen royal family 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. Prince Constantine and Ernst arrived in a carriage from Hohenzollern Castle in the south.
At this time, many people have come, including the townspeople of Hexingen who joined in the fun. They haven’t seen the royal family of Hexingen hold a military parade for many years. Today, they naturally want to join in the fun. Among them are many veterans who fought with the old earl and prince.
Prince Constantine specially invited them to the viewing stand. The army of the Prince of Hexingen was gone, but the fact that these veterans had gone through fire and water for the royal family of Hexingen could not be erased.
At 9:20, Prince Constantine first delivered a speech.
“Hechingen is a region with a long history, and it is also the place where the Hohenzollern family originated. The Hohenzollern family is closely connected with the people of Hechingen.
The Military Academy of Hechingen intends to inherit and carry forward the fine traditions and virtues of the Hechingen area..."
Prince Constantine was the speaker of the Hechingen region. After speaking, the headmaster Ernst appeared on the stage. Ernst stood on the reviewing platform and began to lecture.
"Hechingen Military Academy, as a military academy, shoulders the important task of cultivating professional military talents. It not only serves the Hechingen region, but is also a good place for all aspiring young people in the entire German region.
Learn professional knowledge here, cultivate bravery and fearlessness, understand military honor, and be a 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 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.
While the music sounded, the students of Hechingen Military Academy began to prepare.
Then the military band began to play, the school song of the Hechingen Military Academy, and the melody preluded.
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 bathes Hechingen,
Military Academy hard training,
Striving to be a good son of the times,
Defend Germany, defend the homeland.
…”
The students of Hechingen Military Academy sang the school song of Hechingen Military Academy along with the music of the military band.
This school song was composed by Ernst in Vienna, the capital of music, by inviting some well-known musicians. It sounds like a smooth melody, a solid tone, and a regular rhythm.
Under the guidance of the military flag, walking in Prussian goose step, shouldering a Dreiser rifle, passing the reviewing stand majesticly.
The guests on the viewing platform looked at the young team in front of them and applauded one after another. Not to mention the technical level, the 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 skills 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 Hechingen Military Academy are mules or horses will be decided after two years.
