1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 1008 Founding Ceremony ([-])
How loud the cheers of tens of thousands of people are, it is probably difficult for those who have not experienced that scene to imagine.Even among the well-informed travellers, probably only a few fans have experienced this blood-pumping atmosphere in the auditorium of the stadium.And the appeal of such an atmosphere is quite strong. Even people who are usually calm will inevitably feel emotional when they see the current scene.

The decision of Haihan to establish a country is not only the wish of the executive committee, but also a long-awaited moment for the hundreds of thousands of people in the area under Haihan's rule, especially the naturalized people who have already joined Haihan. .From the day they joined the Haihan nationality, they have given up their original nationality legally, but Haihan has never established a real state power. Therefore, although these naturalized citizens enjoy Haihan national treatment, in fact Does not hold the nationality of any country.

In the past, the Haihan people understood and recognized by the outside world were only the hundreds of traversers who originally came from overseas, and did not include these immigrants from various countries who were later naturalized. The outside world only regarded them as ordinary people attached to the Haihan people.Therefore, in the past few years, the true nationality of the Haihan naturalized people has always been a very embarrassing issue, and even the executive committee and its subordinate propaganda departments rarely take the initiative to mention it.If Haihan is not formally established as a country, the issue of the nationality of the naturalized people will not be resolved for a day. The news released by Tao Donglai is indeed an opportunity for all the people who have obtained or are applying for Haihan nationality. Good news to let their last psychological barrier be lifted.

From now on, the naturalized people can finally hold their heads high and hold their own as citizens of the Haihan Kingdom.The Haihan Propaganda Department can also go full steam ahead and use all its capabilities. With patriotism as the propaganda direction in the future, many related work will no longer need to be secretive.

After the mountain roar and tsunami that lasted for a long time, Ning Qi's voice came again from the tweeter: "Everyone stand up and play the national anthem of Haihan! Raise the national flag of Haihan!"

The hundreds of traversers in the stands immediately stood up in unison, and the guests who had communicated with each other beforehand also stood up. The sexual obedience made everyone stand upright immediately, waiting for the next link.

In the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, Wang Tom walked out from the east side of the stand holding a folded Haihan double-color flag in both hands. Behind him was a group of Haihan soldiers holding rifles. Today's flag-raising ceremony will be held by himself as the flag-raiser.Originally, Yan Chujie also wanted to fight for this errand, not for his own honor, but for the army as a whole. After all, when this moment is recorded in future history, it is written that "the flag-raising ceremony at the founding ceremony is held by the commander of the navy." Tom Wang personally took charge of the record." Such a sentence made the army very embarrassing.But Tao Donglai asked Yan Chujie to watch the ceremony on stage as the Minister of National Defense, but in desperation he could only reluctantly give up the job to Wang Tom.

Wang Tom walked under the flagpole and fixed the two-color flag at the lower end, and the march of the volunteers, which is familiar to the travelers, sounded from the tweeter.Wang Tom slowly pulled the rope along with the street shooting, and raised the two-color flag into the air.

The people are already very familiar with the red and blue double-color flag used by Haihan. Even many foreigners who often come and go to the territory of Haihan know that the meaning of this double-color flag is to represent the blood and the ocean. Like the existence of Haihan, it is one of the most important spiritual symbols of Haihan.However, it was the first time for the vast majority of people to hear this passionate national anthem, and only those who have served the chiefs all the year round were lucky enough to hear this song.

Over the entire port area, in addition to the reverberating music, in the viewing area closer to the rostrum, the public can clearly see and hear the leaders on the stage singing the unfamiliar "national anthem" in unison. ".Although it is not clear what the origin of this music is, the local people still feel a sense of "unknownness" when they see the rare scene of chief ministers singing in chorus.In their impression, the chiefs seldom show their true emotions in front of their subordinates, and they are all like saints. It is impossible to imagine that they will still have such a state of generosity and singing.

Regarding the selection of the national anthem, there were no major differences in the opinion collection within the traveler, because everyone could not find another song that was familiar to almost everyone and suitable as a symbol of a country. To write another song, there is no such capable person who is proficient in temperament internally, so it was settled without too much trouble.Even the six-member team who came back from North America and joined the time-traveling group had already learned this special song.

Of course, after the founding ceremony this time, the national anthem will be promoted in all areas controlled by Haihan immediately, and it will also become one of the basic conditions that must be mastered for naturalization in Haihan.After the celebration, schools at all levels will add the national anthem to the original flag-raising ceremony as a measure of patriotic education for teachers and students.

At the same time as the national anthem ended, the red and blue two-color flag was also raised to the top of the flagpole, whistling in the wind.This time without anyone needing to activate it, the people watching the ceremony automatically broke out into enthusiastic cheers again.This wonderful feeling of finally finding a sense of belonging, the longer the naturalized citizens feel, the more they can understand the feelings of these chief executives on stage.

After the ceremony of raising the national flag and playing the national anthem, a salute was originally arranged, but after consideration by the Joint Command, the joint headquarters reluctantly canceled this link with potential safety hazards.There are tens of thousands of people watching the ceremony here today, and quite a few of them are ordinary people who have never experienced war. If the salute is fired to frighten the people, even if it is only a very small part of these people present, it may cause serious damage. Uncontrollable chaos, so after careful consideration, the headquarters still did not dare to take this risk.After slowly popularizing relevant knowledge to the public in the future, the use of salutes will be gradually introduced in various celebrations and foreign affairs activities.

Next is the military parade, the next highlight of today's founding ceremony. In this link, Yan Chujie personally replaced Ning Qi and served as the on-site commentator.Accompanied by the majestic march, the paraded troops began to appear at the entrance of the venue in the south.

Chen Yixin was making the final mobilization to his subordinates at this time: "The Guards Battalion is in front, and we are the second to enter the arena. Let's cheer up and show the world the demeanor of our Special Warfare Battalion!"

After that, he patted Sun Zhen on the back next to him: "Straighten your waist! Hold up the flag and raise it higher!"

Sun Zhen nodded, clenched the flagpole in his hand.Participating in such a big scene, he was indeed somewhat uncontrollably nervous, even more than he felt when fighting on the battlefield.There are not so many eyes staring at him on the battlefield, but on both sides of the road leading to the rostrum in front of him, there are tens of thousands of eyes watching the square he is in. This feeling makes his palm and The back of the spine is constantly sweating.But he also knew that he couldn't make any mistakes at this time, and he couldn't lose face of the special warfare battalion, otherwise he wouldn't be able to raise his head when he met these friendly troops in the future.

The Guards Battalion of the Haihan Army, which ranked first among the troops reviewed, is actually Haihan’s ace troop, but this troop is responsible for the security and defense tasks of Sanya and Shengli Fort, and rarely goes out to fight, so no matter the outside world It is still the local people, and most of their understanding of this army is limited to the special number of its establishment.However, from the perspective of equipment level and staffing, its real strength is also one of the best in the Haihan Army.It is particularly worth mentioning that this battalion-level team is commanded by the current Minister of National Defense Yan Chujie himself. It can be regarded as the Imperial Forest Army directly under the executive committee, and the conditions in all aspects are self-evident.As for arranging him to take the position of the first phalanx at the opening of the military parade today, it is hard to say whether there is any selfishness of Yan Chujie in it.

And following the Special Operations Battalion was the First Battalion of the Army, who also had rich combat experience and outstanding military exploits.And because the main base of the Army's First Battalion is in the Luhuitou Peninsula, many soldiers' homes are also located there. For them, it can be regarded as a home game, and it is obvious that they can get more support and cheers from the audience.For a special warfare battalion that is not good at formation maneuvers, the position sandwiched between two powerful troops is indeed not ideal.

With the sound of music floating in the distance, the staff in charge of arranging the order of appearances also saw the flags given in the direction of the rostrum, and immediately let the front guard battalion enter the arena.

In front of the phalanx of the Guards Battalion, there were three more soldiers marching in a triangular formation holding the national flag of Haihan and the flags of the Army and Navy respectively.Seeing the phalanx walking slowly, the viewing area, which had been quiet for a while, immediately boiled again.

After the last row of soldiers from the Guards Battalion walked out of a distance of about 30 meters, the phalanx of the Special Operations Battalion, which was ranked second, also received the signal to start.Under the command of Chen Yixin's whistle, this small phalanx team also took steps forward.Sun Zhen raised his chin, raised his head and chest, held the flagpole in front of his chest, and strode forward.

"Now coming to the rostrum is the phalanx of the army's mountain special warfare battalion. This heroic force is currently stationed in the distant Dinghai Port of Zhoushan, Zhejiang. It has made countless military exploits for our country in the past seven years. This time The soldiers and officers participating in the military parade are all combat heroes who have made meritorious service!"

Compared with other units that were reviewed together, the greatest strength of the Special Operations Battalion is probably the combat achievements accumulated over the years.In this group, as long as there are soldiers with more than one year of military experience, even if they don't have outstanding individual military achievements, they have at least one collective military achievement. Therefore, it is not a boast to say that all members of this phalanx are combat heroes. overdo it.And the folks have always had many rumors about the mysterious special warfare battalion. It is said that this invincible army is all brave and skilled fighters. On the battlefield, everyone can fight ten against one, and they specialize in tough battles. One of the main heroes of the Han Dynasty in expanding its territory in the past few years.There are many veteran naturalized citizens who have been naturalized for many years, and it is the first time to witness the true face of this army at close range.

Camouflage military uniforms deliberately dyed green, high-top deerskin military boots, a bulging tactical vest filled with various personal combat supplies, leather tactical gloves with fingerless fingers, a flat cloth military cap with a brim, and a hood hanging on the side of the thigh. Military daggers, the latest [-]-type short-barreled rifle held on the shoulder with one hand, and the multi-purpose cotton scarf deliberately pulled up to cover half of the face, all make this army significantly different from the gray clothes that the public sees every day Han army.

Although the number of people in this phalanx is not large, and the faces of the soldiers cannot be seen clearly, it does not prevent the people from feeling the murderous aura emanating from these soldiers, and they may even have the illusion of smelling blood in the air .Although these soldiers who once walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood were not outstanding in the uniformity of their marching, the momentum they showed made the audience involuntarily ignore this aspect, and cheered involuntarily for this group of soldiers .

"Young people have so many tricks!" Tao Donglai saw the clothes of the soldiers of the special warfare battalion, and knew that the commander had moved his mind. ,

The troops participating in the military parade were uniformly issued with new military uniforms, but the special warfare battalion did not use the unchanging gray uniforms, but put on their combat uniforms, equipped with individual equipment for combat missions. Appeared at the parade.This is a very novel visual impact for most of the local people who have only seen the ordinary Haihan army, and even the guests on the stage and some traversers.In terms of the attention it attracted, the Special Operations Battalion did not lose to the Guards Battalion who took the lead.

"salute!"

As soon as Chen Yixin gave an order, the soldiers in the phalanx of the Special Operations Battalion immediately raised their hands to salute the rostrum.The military salutes of the Haihan Army are in the same line as those of the People's Liberation Army before the crossing, and have not changed. This made the passers-by on the stage very touched after seeing it.The traversers belonging to the Ministry of National Defense were all arranged to sit at the top of the stand, and they stood and watched during the parade. While the soldiers in the phalanx below saluted, they also saluted together and watched the phalanx pass the rostrum.

Immediately behind the special warfare battalion, the Lu First Battalion dispatched a reinforced company composed of more than [-] people, which was several times larger than the previous special warfare battalion in size. During the march, the road was dusty and full of momentum.

After the First Lu Battalion was the Second Lu Battalion stationed in Haikou City, Qiongbei, the Third Lu Battalion stationed on Hong Kong Island at the Pearl River Estuary, the Fourth Lu Battalion at the Penghu Comprehensive Base, the garrisons in various concession port areas in Annan, and the Anbuna Island in the South China Sea. troops.There are more than a dozen square formations of these troops stationed outside alone.
