On the first floor, the intricately carved wooden window frames are also inlaid with crystal clear glass, and in the glass windows on the second floor, the figures are shaking, and from time to time there is music on the street, and the onlookers guess that a banquet should be held there.

The whole building is surrounded by colorful flags, especially outside the wide stone colonnade gate, and the pattern on the flag is still relatively familiar to the citizens, because the flag with this pattern is often seen in Sin'an - it is said that this flag is the symbol of the Australians, called the "five-color star-striped flag", but the citizens usually only use a simple and popular word to describe this flag - the flag-Citigroup.

Apparently people thought that the patterns on the flags were peculiar - the thin stripes of five colors were arranged in stripes from top to bottom, with a large white cross in the center, and a small white cross on the left and right sides of the star, arranged in the shape of a multi-star arch.

People roughly counted, a total of more than 20 such flags planted in the doors and windows of the building, from a distance, this bustling building seems to be waving to the whole city disturbedly, blueprint white clouds and summer, colorful flags in the breeze constantly waving.

Ever since the opening of the bank, this flag has been planted at the gates, and it is for this reason that the people of Timor later gave the bank a colloquial name - Citibank.

It was Han Letian's idea to hang a flag in front of the bank to attract attention, he was originally born in a supermarket, and when the supermarket opened, advertising was a cheap way for him to attract attention.

Now that he has opened a bank, the grade is high, but this habit is still there, but now the conditions are limited, and there is no electricity here, so it is a little unrealistic to put up a lantern, so he found Xiao Pingguo and asked him to borrow dozens of flags from the garrison and put them on to increase his popularity.

Han Letian's goal was indeed achieved, because this flag was actually designed by Wei Hong just recently - the flag of the Xin'ancheng Garrison, and it was also the military flag of the Second Brigade of the Federal Army in the future, and this flag was later flown all over the world, and everyone knew it.

Of course, the pattern of Wei Hong's design has a meaning.

For example, the five-color strips on the flag of the garrison are listed horizontally in turn, that is, green, white, yellow, red, and black - meaning the five directions and five colors in the gossip, that is, the five directions of east, west, north, south, and middle, and yellow in the middle, which naturally refers to "Middle Earth" - in the context of traditional Chinese culture, Middle Earth is yellow.

As for the five large and four small crosses arranged in the middle of the flag, they imply the four-color composition of the soldiers of the garrison - the yellow Han Chinese, the Japanese and the Annamite, the black black from Africa, the red indigenous and the white Europeans and Arabs, these people are gathered together in the "name of freedom", that is, the white big cross in the middle, according to Wei Hong's definition - the white big cross means "freedom".

Therefore, according to Wei Hong, the whole pattern gives the full meaning of this flag is that we, a group of people from different parts of the world, in the name of freedom, gather together to become comrades-in-arms, and then kill all sides......

Well, without further ado, now on to Citibank.

For the merchants and wealthy people in Dili City, the credit of Australians is much stronger than that of the Dutch, and anyone with a little knowledge knows that the strength of Australians is far greater than that of the Dutch, so although the banks of the Dutch are trustworthy, the banks of Australians are more trustworthy.

The Governor of Pimont invested in Citibank in the name of the Viceroyalty of the Portuguese East India Company in the Viceroyalty of the island of Timor, which also means that the bank's credit also has the endorsement of the Governor's Palace, and the citizens of Divine Power City are no strangers to such things as banks, after all, the Dutchman's bank and stock market are famous all over the world in Amsterdam, so the bank opened not long ago, and not only quickly attracted a large number of deposits in Dili City, but also attracted commercial deposits from Xin'an City.

Not only that, but the Governor's Mansion of Sin'an City has also saved a large amount of operating expenses of the Governor's Mansion - it can help me save money and manage my money, and I will get interest, so why not?

In short, the establishment of the Dili City Bank allowed Pimont's Diao Company to immediately solve the financial problem.

Soon after, the company obtained a large loan from Citibank to purchase Australian goods, and quickly expanded its strength in the most straightforward way.

The Nicole set sail again two days later in the afternoon, carrying a large amount of food and agricultural tools, which were indispensable for the survival of the immigrants.

Under normal circumstances, the next time the Nicole comes to Xin'an City, it will be a month and a half later, and during this time, Xiao Pingguo, Wei Hong, Su Gaofei and the three will do a big thing - expand the garrison.

Wei Hong has been calling for this matter for a long time, but it was suppressed by the Red Mansion a while ago, and the reason is well known - Operation Changfeng is the core of all work, and everything must make way for this action.

What's more, in the eyes of everyone, ** is a master who likes to cause trouble, not to mention that he is the backbone of the Huotang Club, with the iron-blooded emperor Han Fuming and destroying the captives as his ideal, many people are worried that once he is in power, Xin'an City is a source of war.

Also, he was still a fanatical queue to shoot party, long before he went to sea, he openly declared that his ideal was to command a 10,000-strong army armed with single-shot bolt-action rifles and Napoleonic cannons to conquer the world, he would fight from Australia to Asia, from Asia to Europe, and then to conquer the Americas.

Of course, at the beginning, everyone thought that Wei Hong was talking and playing, but everyone still believed his remarks a little later - judging from the young man's long-term ruthlessness towards himself, those remarks did not look like the drinking words of expired beer after drinking high.

Wei Hong has been exercising, his marksmanship is the best for all traversers, and he also finds information to practice martial arts by himself, has carefully studied the current army tactics, of course, only from historical documents, he spends almost all his spare time and rest time on his military hobbies, usually not playing Wuqi rifles, practicing martial arts, or reading books to learn various military theories - of course, he can only teach himself like this, because there are no professional soldiers in this group to teach him.

Gui Xianning was gone a while ago, and Wei Hong had to come back to help—he only brought an infantry company with him, all of whom were soldiers with families on Timor Island, and these soldiers should indeed go home to visit their relatives.

**As soon as he came back, he found Sun Lao and Lao Wang and asked for the garrison to be expanded.

Sun Lao's attitude is two words: discuss again.

But fortunately, the Federal Ministry of Finance finally added a capitation fee to the garrison in Xin'an City, and there is no big problem in the expansion of personnel - Wei Hong only took a month to expand the number of soldiers in the garrison who stayed in Xin'an City from 900 to 1,200, and it is still increasing, Wei Hong estimates that with the current team on the Leizhou Peninsula, the number of the entire garrison will exceed 2,500 people, although this number is not enough to control the entire Xin'an Governor's District, but it is enough to defend the entire Xin'an City perimeter.
