Chapter 1317: Flag at half-mast

In Beijing, in front of Guomen Square, in addition to many people in the capital with their children to play here, there are also many tourists from other places to take pictures here.

Almost all tourists who come to the capital for the first time will come to the country to take pictures to commemorate it, because the country has a special status in the hearts of the people.

However, just when many tourists were taking pictures under the national flag, suddenly, a team of national flag honor guards walked over with a stern expression and walked over to the national flag.

"What's the matter, it's not time to lower the national flag yet, what are these flag honor guards doing here?"

Some local residents in the capital, who know some of the ceremonies of the national flag in front of the country, have looked at this honor guard with curiosity, and those tourists from other places are even more busy picking up their mobile phones to take pictures.

The national flag honor guard should be said to be the most beautiful unit among all the troops in the country, except for the national flag-raising ceremony in the early morning every day, in normal times, but these people are not seen at all.

Everyone stared at the soldiers of these honor guards and whispered, but the soldiers of these honor guards were unaware, and after handing over to the soldiers guarding the national flag, these honor guards made a move that shocked everyone.

The lifting button on the national flag was pressed, and the five-star red flag flying high above the national gate began to slowly fall, and finally, it was taken over by several soldiers of the honor guard.

"It's not time to drop the national flag yet, why is the national flag lowered?"

Many people have puzzled faces now, it is only three o'clock in the afternoon, far from the time for the national flag to land, shouldn't the national flag be lowered now?

However, this was only the beginning of the shock, when the national flag was lowered, all the soldiers of the honor guard suddenly entered a solemn military salute in a certain direction. This military salute lasted for more than three minutes.

After the military salute, the commander of the honor guard made a gesture, and the impassioned melody familiar to all the people of the country resounded in front of the gate of this country and under the national flag.

Many people have unconsciously marched the national flag salute, and their eyes are fixed on the bright red five-star red flag in the hands of several honor guard soldiers. It's clear to all.

The originally noisy crowd began to become quiet because of the sound of this red melody, everyone's expressions became solemn, and those tourists who were originally going to take pictures also put down their cameras and mobile phones.

There are a few young couples with excited looks on their faces, and they still want to use their mobile phones to film this scene in front of them, just. Looking at the solemn expressions of the uncles and aunts around them, these young couples finally chose to give up.

In the eyes of all Chinese people, this is a solemn moment. As long as there is a Chinese person who still has a patriotic heart, listening to the voice in the melody, no one can continue to laugh indifferently.

Especially. Before this country, this meaning became even more special.

Several soldiers of the honor guard dragging the national flag. With both hands raised, the bright red national flag fluttered in the wind and headed towards the high air of the flagpole.

Time passed second by second, and when the national flag was raised to the top, all the masses put down their hands, because, in their hearts, the flag-raising ceremony was already over.

However, the soldiers of the honor guard still saluted the national flag, and then, the commander of the honor guard shouted in a deep voice: "Salute!"

Swish!

All the soldiers of the honor guard turned in a certain direction and bowed deeply, and the wisdom of the honor guard was to press the button that lowered the national flag.

The national flag, from the top of the flagpole, began to slowly descend again.

"This ......"

When all the people saw this scene, they were all dumbfounded, and many people showed shock in their eyes, and some people with quick brains even muttered to themselves: "The national flag has just been raised and landed, is it to lower the flag at half-mast?"

Under the red flag, all the masses saw the flag drop to a height of fifteen meters before stopping.

"It's really half-mast. ”

Those people in the capital who know the national flag ceremony, at this moment, are shocked beyond measure, the national flag is not absent in history, and it is more than once, but every time the national flag is lowered, there is a heavy sad thing happening.

The death of those leaders, and the people who died under the catastrophe, as well as the victory to commemorate the anniversary of the Anti-Japanese War, mourn for the people and soldiers who died during the Anti-Japanese War, the national flag, only in these circumstances will it be lowered.

And now, there is no news, why did this national flag land so well?

In the puzzled eyes of the masses, some foreign friends were frantically taking pictures with their mobile phones in their hands, because when this big eastern country lowered its national flag, something big was about to happen.

Of course, there were some people in the crowd of onlookers, who took out their mobile phones and told their relatives and friends the news, and in the end, the entire domestic media were worthy of the news, and at a quarter past three in the afternoon, all the media around the world focused on this national flag, and countless media reporters rushed here.

......

Drivers on the national highway leading to a certain area of Sichuan today were surprised to find that military vehicles were heading in the direction of a certain urban area, and experienced drivers could judge from the round and flat tires of the cars that the tents of these military vehicles were full of people.

At the toll gate of the Sichuan Expressway, there have been armed police officers who have begun to intercept, only cars can get off the highway, but there can be no cars to enter the highway and go to a certain area, and in another channel, there are no ambulances, with the warning lights, speeding into the highway and rushing to a certain area.

"What's going on, why is the highway closed?" Many drivers who were stopped at the highway intersection stopped to discuss, generally speaking, the highway will be closed, unless there is a large-scale road repair, otherwise, the highway will not be open.

In this era of advanced information, any news will be spread rapidly.

A well-known blogger posted a photo of a highway closure, accompanied by some ambulance photos, which was frantically reprinted and commented on by others, because, not only this blogger discovered this scene, but many, many Sichuan people found out.

"You are still an ambulance, at the intersection of my side, grandma's, I saw dozens of military vehicles, all carrying soldiers with loaded guns, this scene was too shocking. ”

There are also some people who uploaded the scenes they saw, however, these photos appeared on the website, in tires, on social software, and were deleted in less than ten minutes.

At this moment, all the persons in charge of the forum website received the notice above, and a certain area of Si_Sichuan was not allowed to appear, and if it was discovered, it would be deleted immediately.

However, even so, the news about a certain area of Sichuan still spread, and it was frantically transmitted on the Internet, and many people began to speculate about what the country wanted to do with such a large-scale move?

Nine o'clock in the evening.

The Liangshan area, located at the foot of a mountain not far from the Panlong Mountain Range, has a steady stream of military vehicles driving here at this moment, and a cart of soldiers gets off the car, and then, on standby here.

Inside the camp, the old man in military uniform was standing in front of the table at the moment, on the table, there was a map, and on the side of the table, there was a telephone.

In addition to the old man, there are also seven or eight men in military uniforms in their fifties, and the generals on these men are shining stars, and the lowest ones are all major generals.

This also means that in this small camp, all of them are general-level generals, and these generals are all standing behind the old man in military uniform with a stern face.

"Are you all ready?"

The old man asked, looking back at the generals behind him.

"The 30,000 soldiers of the Sixth Military Region stationed in Sichuan have all been assembled, and according to the order, they have been distributed in these 16 county towns, and in addition, communications have also been established and perfected in accordance with the first-class communication standards. One of the generals replied.

"The Sichuan General Military Hospital has dispatched all the idle doctors to the designated destination, a total of 3,672 people, and the actual number is 3,672. Another general replied.

Jingle bells!

The telephone in front of the old man in uniform rang, the old man picked up the phone, listened to the voice inside, put down the phone and said: "Half an hour later, the second chief will arrive at the camp, and now on behalf of the first chief, I will issue a central order, all orders to take over the three cities, and enter a state of martial law." ”

"Yes!"

All the generals saluted, and their expressions became stern, soldiers, the first duty is to obey orders, although these generals do not know what is going on, but this does not prevent them from carrying out the orders issued by the central government.

......

In one afternoon, the three prefecture-level cities close to the mountain ranges had already sent away 2.1 million people to other cities, and there were still 1 million people on the way to other cities, but this was not enough, because the traffic in Sichuan was dangerous, and more than 2 million people had not yet had time to retreat.

These people did not know what was happening, but under the protection of the People's Liberation Army, they did not panic or resist, because these people believed that the People's Liberation Army would not harm them, and the People's Liberation Army was the people's soldiers.

Of course, it is impossible to completely block the news for such a big action, not only the media in other parts of the country, but even the foreign media, all know about the movements on the side of Sichuan.

It's just that the domestic media didn't report on this matter because of the above greetings, but in a small circle on the Internet, the actions of Sichuan's side still spread and went viral.

As for foreign countries, especially the few small countries bordering the country, those leaders are frightened at the moment, and the republic's mobilization of troops does not allow them to be worried, and they have even approached certain Western countries in the hope of putting pressure on the republic.
