Chapter 418: The Imperial Ceremony
,
spn On November 1, 1946, when the flames of the world war had not yet been extinguished, the great Chinese nation ushered in a new chapter in the history of civilization development.
This day is the day and a half since the founding of the Chinese Empire.
At about seven o'clock in the morning, the sky over Hanking was filled with clouds. As the imperial capital of the empire, on this great day, the whole city entered a special state. Everyone put on their favorite and most beautiful clothes.
Most people turned on the radio, radio, or TV in advance. Some even two or three families gathered together, cut the fruits, and sat in front of the TV, chatting about this exciting new empire and looking forward to it.
As the founding ceremony of the empire began, at this time, the TV was only showing some documentaries on the battlefield, and the live broadcast of the ceremony had not yet begun.
Citizens who had the opportunity to go to the Imperial Square in Hanking (formerly Huaxia Square) to participate in the "Million People's Viewing Ceremony", together with hundreds of thousands of compatriots and international friends from all over the country and even around the world, even more
I went to the Imperial Plaza very early at dawn, went through security inspection, and queued up to enter.[
On the Imperial Avenue, which has also been renamed, a very wide street has been separated. It serves as a gathering place for the military parade formations, and all kinds of weapons are in place, just waiting for the ceremony to begin.
"Thanks to the experience last time, we got up very early this time!"
Looking at the dozens of long lines of people waiting to enter the Empire Square, Hook, the U.S. government's commercial representative in China, and the world-famous reporter who works for the New York Daily News and is famous for reporting on China and the East
Senior reporter Mannes.
"Yes! China is a hundred times more prosperous than it was back then. Thirteen years ago, when we stood here watching the founding ceremony of China, we were still young people."
Mans looked up at the viewing platform of the city tower. Although the empire's top officials led by the world-class leader had not yet appeared, he had seen many photos of that great man on weekdays.
"Compared to us, the great His Majesty Zhang Shusheng is still so young."
"Your Majesty Zhang Shusheng?" Hook repeated with some fun, "Although the real monarchy was not immediately implemented, the whole world believed that this great man who crossed national borders would definitely become emperor, and he would definitely be the greatest in the history of the Chinese nation.
An emperor.
Your Majesty’s title is exactly the custom of Chinese people.”
"Yes, the people's title for this great man has gradually changed from Chairman to His Majesty. Once the problem in the Far East is solved, he has ascended to the real altar and is a great crowned emperor."
Mans does not think that his evaluation is too much. As a Westerner, he always believes that the Western world's understanding of China is biased or narrow-minded, and perhaps short-sighted. Western white people who are stuck in the well do not realize the importance of China.
rise, and did not realize the miracle of the East created by this great man.
He believes that to have a true understanding of China, one can only truly witness it all with one's own eyes.
As someone who has lived in China for fifteen years and experienced the glorious 13 years before liberation, the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the founding of the People's Republic of China, he is qualified to say this.
"Mr. Hemingway!"
The two soon discovered an acquaintance. Yes, it was Mr. Hemingway, the novelist and journalist who was famous in the West for reporting on the military parade held five years after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Unlike the five-year military parade, where he could only watch the ceremony from the sidelines, this time as an international friend and a well-known journalist who could remain neutral, Hemingway received an invitation from the empire and could go up to the viewing platform below the tower to watch the founding ceremony after passing the security check.
.
"Mr. Hook, Mr. Manes, it's such a pleasure to meet you."
Hemingway is different from these two Americans who have been in China for a long time. He spends more time traveling around the world. He has stayed in China for more than three years. Recently, he was a special guest of Time Magazine.
As a reporter, I was invited to come to China.
"I have read your report on China's military parade five years after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It was very exciting. I am looking forward to seeing another unique news report full of the flavor of a novelist." Mans sincerely said
Said, he is a reporter who prefers news reporting while Hemingway is a long-form reporter who prefers novel reporting style.
"I am very confident. China has changed so much in the past eight years that it really shocked me." Hemingway said frankly.[
Soon, it was the turn of several people to go through the security check, and they were released after checking the issues.
Hanking time, o'clock in the morning!
After two or three hours of preparation and a preview of the mass audience, the Empire Square, one of the two largest squares in the Empire, is completely ready. Millions of people are watching the ceremony in the huge Empire Square.
Divided into numerous square formations, they also quietly began to wait for the start of the ceremony.
From time to time, a piece of ceremonial music representing the opening of the ceremony began to play in the entire Empire Square.
Amidst the sound of ritual music, the millions of soldiers and civilians in the square, as well as overseas compatriots, overseas friends, and invited representatives from various countries all turned their attention to the highest viewing platform on the Chinese Tower.
Everyone knows that the great head of state, His Majesty Zhang Shusheng, the crown emperor of the empire, will appear on the city tower.
During the month when the country announced the countdown to the founding ceremony of the empire, Zhang Shusheng completely completed the step from a quasi-sacred altar to a real altar, becoming an irreplaceable national great man in the eyes of the Chinese nation, and a great man of the Chinese nation who could be passed down for thousands of years.
There are talented people from generation to generation, and there are a few talents who can unify the country and expand the territory of China by two times. There are a few people who can really solve people's problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and there are a few people who can solve the problem of providing for the elderly.
Several of the issues taught can solve the issues of broad equality and relative freedom for hundreds of millions of Chinese people.
During the opening music, a group of people gradually appeared in the corridor on the tower. Even before they could see clearly, the millions of soldiers and civilians in the audience were already cheering, accompanied by thunderous applause that even turned their palms red unconsciously.
Soon, the imperial dignitaries headed by Zhang Shusheng appeared on the tall Chinese city tower. This city tower, which had the significance of twice the founding of the nation, was finally forced to move under the wave of the founding of the empire after Zhang Shusheng refused many times.
He accepted the tragic fate of the portrait being hung on the tower. According to his wishes, since it was going to be hung, he originally wanted to hang Sun Changqing's portrait. As a result, the old man refused to comply and "threatened" Zhang Shusheng to retire completely.
Give up.
The important military and political officials of the Empire who ascended the viewing platform of the city tower include: the head of the Empire, the leader of the Baath Party, the Chairman of the Supreme Power Council of the Chinese Nation, and the Crown Emperor of the Empire, Zhang Shusheng!
Imperial veteran, honorary deputy leader of the Baath Party, vice chairman of the Supreme Power Council of the Chinese Nation, Sun Changqing!
The following rankings are in no particular order: the wives of He Ning and Lu Yunyan, the honorary deputy commander-in-chief of the imperial armed forces Zhang Xueliang, the [general] Zhou Guolai of the Government Affairs Council, the imperial chief of general staff General Jiang Baili, the minister of defense General Cai Wei, and the director of the Special Intelligence Department General Luo Feng , Minister of Propaganda Wei Sancai, Minister of Foreign Affairs Li Zongren, Minister of Operations Su Yuren, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Army and Air Force Wu Tiejun, Deng Haoqian, Fan Siran... and a large number of senior party, government and military officials.
It is worth mentioning that this time at the founding ceremony of the empire, there was a special person on the viewing platform of the city tower, that is, the deputy general manager of Shusheng Company, Sun Laixi, the son of Sun Changqing, who is fully responsible for all the global affairs of Shusheng Company. .It was also from this moment that Shusheng Company and the Chinese Empire officially appeared in front of the world in a situation of intersection of business and politics. In the future expansion of civilization, the expansion of commercial territory will not easily cause rebellion and conflict, and the collision of countries is just It will only be carried out when it is necessary. The future development of civilization will require a powerful empire and a powerful interstellar group. Moreover, Zhang Shusheng has already prepared business projects to facilitate their launch when the time comes.
After the military and political dignitaries took the stage, the Imperial Propaganda Minister Wei Sancai walked to the microphone and was responsible for presiding over the founding ceremony.
"Dear compatriots and distinguished guests: In this golden October day, when the whole country is celebrating, the founding ceremony of the Chinese Empire will be held grandly here. Now please allow me to announce that the founding ceremony has officially begun.
The pacesetters took their positions, fired salutes, played the national anthem, and raised the national flag!!"
After the simple opening remarks, as Wei Sancai finished speaking, the salute at the concave door on the east side of the square was already ready.
"fire!!"
Boom...,Boom...Boom...
There are 99 salute guns, each firing 99 salutes, symbolizing the eternal destiny of the empire.
Amidst the sound of the salute, the first to take their positions were 199 soldiers in uniform, carrying Chinese-style protocol rifles with bayonets, and walked to both sides of the Imperial Avenue in front of the tower.[
Subsequently, the national flag guard began to set off, escorting the national flag to the flag-raising platform with firm steps.
When the national flag guard was in place and ready, the national anthem band of 1,000 people filled the audience with a formal performance of the national anthem that made people excited.
"Get up..." A majestic golden dragon flag that gradually unfolded in the wind slowly rose amid the national anthem of all soldiers and civilians.
Later, Wei Sancai announced: "I invite Zhang Shusheng, the supreme leader of the Chinese Empire and chairman of the Chinese National High Power Committee, to speak." Zhang Shusheng had never been so clear as at this moment about the form of applause from millions of people.
Thirteen years ago and eight years ago, he experienced two grand ceremonies, but his feelings were not as profound as this one. Maybe it was because he was about to create an empire with his own hands and bring it to the level of interstellar civilization. Maybe it was because he was about to create an empire with his own hands and bring it to the level of interstellar civilization. It's because the millions of soldiers and civilians present are more passionate and fanatical than they were thirteen years ago and eight years ago.
Zhang Shusheng rarely wore a Tang suit, but the color was a bit more golden. Fortunately, a very good Suzhou embroidery craftsman woven dragon patterns on it. Looking closer, it was shocking, but In fact, it's just a rather special piece of clothing.
Standing in front of the microphone, he did not use the backup script prepared by the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Instead, he spoke emotionally to the millions of soldiers and civilians present, to the more than 600 million compatriots in front of the television, and a total of nearly 700 million imperial sons.
Chapter completed!
