The Paris Police Academy has long surpassed the significance of just a military academy for the French Army, becoming a symbol of military spirit, a setter of training standards, and the source of advanced command and combat techniques.
Therefore, the event being held this time is no longer a simple school anniversary but more like a grand celebration for the entire army.
As soon as the Crown Prince appeared in everyone's view, Massena immediately shouted, "Attention, salute!"
From the square outside the Military Academy's gate to the parade ground on the south of the academy, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers stood at attention, producing a sound like crashing waves, and then saluted towards the Crown Prince's direction.
Joseph, surrounded by officers, arrived at the parade ground capable of holding over ten thousand people and ascended the review stand on the north side.
