A few questions after reading

1. Germany is really strong. Every now and then, there are rallies of 100,000 people (are there so many people in Germany, in 1934?), and then meet during the day and night.

2. There are flags everywhere, it seems that the uniforms are new, and the soldiers are not just those few people walking back and forth, so how much did Germany spend in this 1934 party congress with a scale of 100,000 people?

3. Speaking again and again, raising his hands and salutes, the head of state is not tired or bored at all. It seems that being a leader is a physical task and requires a good body.

4. Looking at the speech of the head of state, although there is a microphone, many of them are shouted out, a little hoarse, and looking at the expression of the speech, gestures and attitude, he really believes his words and thinks he is the savior of the world.

5. With such a large mobilization ability, adults and children participate together. It is estimated that other European countries will even die when they see it on such a scale: our combat effectiveness and mobilization organization ability are compared with Germany, they are scumbags.

6. This kind of organization and mobilization ability even now North Korea and we can't organize, and can't do 100,000 people!
