Chapter 393: A Shocking Proposal

Li Xuan was very honored to have the opportunity to climb the Tiananmen Tower to watch the National Day military parade. In fact, in terms of distance alone, the temporary viewing platforms on both sides of the Jinshui Bridge are undoubtedly closer to Chang'an Avenue, and you can watch the parade more clearly.

But it is an incomparable honor to witness such a great moment from the tower of Tiananmen Square. Just a few days before the National Day, China and Britain officially initialled the agreement on Hong Kong's return to the motherland in Beijing, which can be said to be the best birthday gift for the 35th anniversary of the National Day.

Therefore, the central authorities have specially invited some Hong Kong compatriots to join state leaders on the Tiananmen Tower to witness China's glorious moment! The distinguished guests of the Hong Kong delegation were arranged in a place in the back row on the left side of the Tiananmen Tower, occupying about two rows of chairs.

Li Xuan was fortunate to go up to the city tower with his wife Zhong Chuhong to watch the ceremony, and the entire Hong Kong delegation was fortunate enough to climb the city tower with only about 20 people, so it can be said that Li Xuan got a lot of courtesy!

"Xu Sheng, please help me take a photo with Chu Hong and keep this memorable and unforgettable moment!"

Li Xuan took off the camera hanging on his chest and handed it to Mr. Xu Shixun, who was sitting next to him. Then he put his arms around his wife, Zhong Chuhong's waist, in the background of Tiananmen Square not far away. "Click-!" The cheerful and joyful smiles of the two were frozen forever!

When Li Xuan chose his seat, he specially chose the two outermost seats in the aisle, so their actions would not affect the others watching the ceremony. But in the whole delegation, except for Li Xuan and Zhong Chuhong, everyone else sat in the seats very gentlemanly, and the elegant spectators were divided!

Their movements naturally attracted the attention of many people, but most of them smiled in a friendly manner. After all, Li Xuan is a young man in his early twenties. It should be more active than their group of old men.

"The central government has come up with a lot of good things at the bottom of the box this time!" As soon as Li Xuan sat down, Xu Shixun beside him said with a smile.

Naturally, there are commentators on the castle towers. The guests were given a detailed explanation of the history of the units that make up the phalanx, as well as the names and uses of the various weapons. The most shocking thing is the "Dongfeng" No. 5 intercontinental missile, which appeared in the finale. This is a real weapon of the state!

"Since the government has made up its mind to hold a large-scale military parade on National Day, it is natural that it will come up with something really important to boost the morale of the people! After watching today's military parade, I know that the central government is very determined to firmly carry out reform and opening up!" Li Xuan said leisurely.

He didn't lower his voice when he spoke, so it also attracted the attention of several people around him. Li Jiacheng happened to sit behind him and Xu Shixun, and he also smiled and asked, "Oh? Li Sheng, did you hear something? I don't know if you can tell us about it!"

I don't know if you have noticed that in 1980 and 1982, the central government streamlined and reorganized the armed forces twice.

Reduced the total number of troops from 6.1 million to 4 million. The railway soldiers and the infrastructure engineering troops were drawn out of the army sequence and were collectively transferred to the Ministry of Railways and the urban construction, road construction and other departments of various provinces and cities!

In my opinion, this move by the central government, in addition to the consideration of improving the combat effectiveness of the army, actually shows that the focus of the country's work in the next stage is economic construction!

However, the number of troops has decreased, but the responsibility of defending the homeland and the country will not be reduced! In fact, in the past few decades, China has always been under the threat of war, and when the situation was at its most dangerous, it was even attacked from both sides by the East and the West!

Therefore, we need some weapons that can make the enemy tremble and be frightened to shoulder the heavy responsibility of national defense! The 'Dongfeng' No. 5 and 'Julang' No. 1 displayed today. It is enough to assume the role of deterrence and resistance, so that any enemy must think twice before making a decision that threatens China's interests!

In fact, China's current external environment is changing rapidly. Western countries, led by the United States, are improving their relations with China with an unprecedentedly friendly attitude. The Soviet Union in the north seems to be getting more and more mired in the quagmire of the war in Afghanistan!

And China took advantage of this National Day military parade. I boldly predict that China will usher in a rare opportunity for peaceful development! The domestic political struggle has just ended. The threat of war abroad is easing again, so the central government's next task is naturally to devote itself to economic construction!" Li Xuan said unhurriedly.

Several people around listened to it. The people sitting next to Li Xuan are all the elites of Hong Kong society, but most people are still only staring at Hong Kong's one-third of an acre, and it is rare for Li Xuan to have such an overall view.

Of course, this is also because Li Xuan's Oriental Group can be said to be the first Chinese-funded multinational enterprise in Hong Kong in the true sense. Dongfang Electronics' market spreads all over the world, and the general election in the United States, the strike in the United Kingdom, and the coup d'état in Southeast Asia will affect the profits of the Eastern Bloc.

In a few years, when the investment of people like Li Jiacheng is no longer limited to real estate in a corner of Hong Kong, but they begin to invest in oil in Canada and buy telecommunications companies in Europe, he naturally has to consider the impact of the international political situation on his business.

"Of course, the central government does not necessarily have to carry out reform and opening up to engage in economic construction, and choosing the original planned economy is also a way out! However, Comrade DXP not only inspected the troops in his capacity as chairman of the Central Military Commission, but also delivered a congratulatory message to the people of the whole country on behalf of the central authorities!

This shows that a new generation of leadership collective with Elder D as the core has been formed, and that Elder D's concept of governing the country will certainly be included in China's thinking for the future development! This reminds me of a series of speeches made by Elder D during his southern tour at the beginning of this year. So I think China will further deepen reform and opening up in the future!" Li Xuan said in an affirmative tone.

After listening carefully to Li Xuan's words, several people around couldn't help but fall into deep thought. It's not that you haven't noticed that the deep-sea special zone across the river has undergone earth-shaking changes in recent years. However, people are afraid that the mainland government will change its order, so many people are still hesitant to invest in the north.

Even after Hong Kong decided that it would return to the motherland in '97, many people still wondered whether to withdraw their overseas investment, lest their property be confiscated and confiscated by the Communist Party in the future! Many of Shenhai City's policies are now even on par with Hong Kong's. If D is the core of China's future, then everyone can naturally be more assured!

The parade and mass parade ended. Everyone went to the state banquet hall of the Great Hall of the People to attend the state banquet, and finally had a free afternoon break. In the evening, I will also attend the cultural and artistic activities of the masses in the capital to celebrate the National Day.

"How do I feel that you have suddenly changed a lot, and suddenly you seem to be more like a 'red capitalist' than Huo Lao?" Zhong Chuhong asked with some curiosity as soon as he returned to the hotel.

"Is it so obvious?" Li Xuan said as he touched his nose.

"Of course, since you were on the plane, you have been constantly expressing to the people around you that you are very optimistic about China's future! It's a pity that you are selling so hard, and the central government has not given you a certificate or anything like that!" Zhong Chuhong joked with a smile.

Li Xuan bowed his head and was silent, he thought about it and realized that what his wife said was not wrong. And he thinks about it more, sometimes you act too hot. Not necessarily a good thing!

Especially a super capitalist like him, who not only had a vague political stance, but was even suspected of being a capitalist smuggler, people will wonder if you have ulterior motives. Li Xuan felt that he seemed to be a little hot-headed, and he needed to calm down and reflect on it!

He also had an important purpose in going north this time, which was to hope to have a personal interview with Deng Lao. The authorities also quickly informed him that Mr. D could spare an hour to meet him on the afternoon of the 2nd.

"Comrade Xiao Li, thank you to Asia Satellite TV for live-streaming yesterday's military parade to the citizens of Hong Kong, and it is said that the response of the Hong Kong compatriots has been very enthusiastic! I hope that ATV will continue to make more contributions to strengthening exchanges between the motherland and Hong Kong in the future!" said Mr. D with a hearty smile as soon as he entered the door. Then he strode forward and shook Li Xuan's hand.

"Elder D, you are too polite! Although this wanderer in Hong Kong has been away from home for a long time, the Chinese heart in our hearts has never changed!" Li Xuan also said a meaty scene at the right time.

"So Hong Kong's return to the motherland is what everyone is looking forward to!" said Elder D smiled happily.

"Hong Kong, a wanderer who has been away from home for 150 years, has finally found his way home, presumably under the idea of 'one country, two systems'. Macao will soon return to the motherland! However, due to historical reasons, Taiwan-Bay is still a difficult problem to solve!" Li Xuan said suddenly.
