The National Day Military Parade Joint Command specially developed a three-dimensional simulation system, which simulated all the elements and the whole process of the military parade, repeatedly studied and demonstrated, and formulated a scientific and thorough military parade implementation plan.

The whole parade process is divided into five steps-mobile entrance, site preparation, parade, separation and evacuation. The parade and determinant are for viewing, and the total time is about 66 minutes.

There are 56 parades and echelons in this parade, including trekking 14 parades, 30 parades and air 12 parades. Its organizational structure mainly reflects the idea that our army's construction has changed from quantity-scale to quality-benefit and from manpower-intensive to technology-intensive.

When answering the question "China's display of powerful military forces has caused some neighboring countries to worry", Gao Jianguo said that many countries have the habit of holding military parades on important anniversaries and major festivals, and it is customary to show some armed forces and weapons and equipment in military parades. Whether a country's military strength poses a threat depends not on its military strength, but mainly on what policies the country pursues. China has always adhered to the path of peaceful development and has always been committed to building a harmonious world of lasting peace and prosperity.

Some foreign media commented that the military parade will display strategic nuclear weapons, suggesting that China's nuclear policy will change. Gao Jianguo said that China has always adhered to the nuclear strategy of self-defense. Abide by the promise of not being the first to use nuclear weapons at any time and under any circumstances, and unconditionally refrain from using or threatening to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear-weapon States and nuclear-weapon-free zones. China has exercised extreme restraint in developing nuclear weapons and has never deployed nuclear weapons overseas. We have not participated in the nuclear arms race in the past and will not participate in the future.

The specialties of the nine arms are more comprehensive and the types of equipment are more diverse.

The biggest difference from the previous 13 military parade is that this military parade has reduced the number of army teams and trekking teams, increased the number of arms teams and equipment teams such as navy, air force and Second Artillery Corps, and improved the scientific and technological content of the equipment. The reference elements are more complete, the specialties of arms are more comprehensive, and the equipment types are more diverse and unified. Gao Jianguo revealed nine highlights of the military parade:

■ The mighty array of the officers and men read and the high-spirited military posture.

■ The trekking team has a firm and heroic pace and unyielding spirit. The overall action and unstoppable momentum of the equipment team. The majestic posture and precise and wonderful flight of the dragon in the air echelon. The superb acting and beautiful melody of the military orchestra.

■ Reading equipment. Mainly depends on the active service level of our military weapons and equipment.

■ Formation of teams and echelons. Mainly look at the characteristics of the compound development of mechanization and informatization of our army.

■ Joint, efficient and accurate command of military parade.

■ The cooperation between the trekking team, the equipment team, the air echelon and the military orchestra, the pacesetter and the commentary is accurate and smooth.

Focus on Women's Militia: From "Walking Show" to "Kicking Pavilion"

There are three "female soldiers" in the team being read: the women's team of the three armed forces, the women's militia team and the women's pilot echelon. Among them, the female militia team is composed of female militia in Beijing and will be the only militia team to be read.

Members of the female militia come from all walks of life-civil servants, teachers, returned students, college students, employees of foreign companies, etc. All of them are "non-professional, starting from scratch". This means that these "post-80s" and "post-90s" have to make more efforts.

At the end of last year, the women militia team started training. According to the training requirements, girls have to walk more than 12 laps on the training ground every day, while boys are stronger, but they all persist. In the hot summer weather training in Beijing, a sweat-soaked uniform should be worn from morning till night; On the hard concrete floor, it takes an average of 1 month to practice a pair of leather shoes.

Among many girls, team leader Zhang He is the most concerned by the media. The same height is 1.78 meters. They are all fresh graduates majoring in advertising model and image design from China Women's University, and they have also served as etiquette tasks for the Beijing Olympic Games in the past year. The tacit understanding between the two sisters is extraordinary. In order to be a "leading soldier" and show the heroic spirit of China women militia to the world, they actively increased their training.

To practice physical fitness, others do 20 push-ups and do 50 by themselves; Others hold their legs for 5 minutes, but they need more 10 minutes; Kick 500 foresteps more than your teammates every day. In the training ground and living area, they are often seen with sandbags tied to their legs and "crosses" on their backs to practice their movements. During the training break, the two will also perform a "cat walk" with music on the concrete T-stage. From catwalk to training ground, from catwalk to forehand kick, they completed the gorgeous transformation from "model" to "soldier". (According to Xinhua News Agency)

Focus link The navy is read by eight party teams representing the five major arms of the navy.

Of the 56 square (ladder) teams participating in the 60th anniversary of the National Day military parade, 8 were from the navy, namely, 3 trekking teams, 4 equipment teams and 1 air echelon, representing the five arms of naval surface ships, submarines, aviation, marine corps and coastal defense forces respectively.

Li, deputy commander of the National Day Parade Command's trekking team and Minister of the Naval Military Training Department, said that this is a concentrated appearance of the People's Navy as a strategic, comprehensive and international service, and it is also a display of the achievements of the Navy after its strategic transformation.

Li said that the fifth naval cadet team came from Dalian Naval Academy. The sailors' team comes from the Naval Submarine Academy and is the youngest team among the troops being read. The average age of the sailors studied is only 19 years old, and they have only been enlisted for 10 months. The marine corps team dressed in marine camouflage is known as "Land Rover, Sea Dragon and Condor". The air echelon of naval aviation, composed of 15 new fighter-bomber, came from the South China Sea Fleet and participated in the National Day military parade for the first time. In addition to the Marine Corps chariot team, there are three naval equipment teams from the coastal defense forces, namely the ship-to-air missile team, the anti-ship missile team and the shore-to-ship missile team. Naval coastal defense forces are deployed in important coastal areas to participate in coastal defense operations. At present, the naval coastal defense forces have become a new type of arms that not only have important places and offshore air defense capabilities, but also can effectively support other arms to carry out attacks.
