Chapter 105: The Founding Ceremony (II)
On June 20, 1937, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Transitional Government of Africa, Dodo Mota, publicly sent an invitation letter to the whole country and the world, inviting dignitaries from various countries and well-known figures in the fields of international science and technology, culture, and journalism, as well as dignitaries from various countries and prominent people from all walks of life in China to go to Africa to attend the founding ceremony to be held on July 1, and announced that they should receive and observe the ceremony.
Throughout mid-June and the end of June, the Preparatory Committee for the new government invited nearly 1,100 delegates from all over the country to Hanjing by car, boat, and plane to prepare for the founding ceremony of the African People's Republic.
After a week and a half of surprise construction, the African People's Square was finally completed on June 25, 1937. This square, which bears the hard work and sweat of more than 100,000 people, finally welcomed people from all over the country and all over the world on the first day of construction.
July 1, 1937
At six o'clock in the morning, a burst of air defense sirens sounded over Feijing, and the people who had already received the news were not alarmed, but cheered.
The people living in Feijing hurriedly got up and began to dress up. Because as a resident of the city, almost every household has participated in the expansion of the city. Therefore, 85% of the population of non-Beijing has arrived to participate in the invitation to the founding ceremony. So they feel very honored.
In fact, an hour before the air raid sirens sounded, the African People's Army (APA) guards had already burst into various intersections of the city with loaded guns. Each soldier had his chest held high, his face straight, and his hands clenched with his steel guns. It seems that they are not carrying out a guard plan, but a tribute to the coming sacred moment.
At 7:30, the People's Square, which was originally empty, became a sea of flowers and colorful flags after only an hour and a half.
However, these crowds are not messy, because there is their place on the invitation. At the same time, they were divided into basic phalanxes and prepared for the upcoming ceremony.
At eight o'clock, in the majestic singing, the moment of the founding ceremony finally kicked off.
The People's Square suddenly erupted in a continuous burst of cheers that shook the sky, colorful flags fluttered one after another, flowers danced like a tide, and the cheers of hundreds of thousands of people were countless times louder than the sound of the city's sirens just now.
At this time, all the people in the square gathered their eyes on one place, and a group of people appeared on the tower of the unified gate of the People's Square at this time. One of the men walked straight to the podium. Empdulleni, former Prime Minister of the Interim Government of the African People's Army and Chairman of the Preparatory Committee for the New Government, stepped up to the podium and spoke into the microphone. In a solemn and calm voice, it was announced: "The founding ceremony of the country has officially begun"
After the Prime Minister of the Interim Government of the African People's Army and Chairman of the Preparatory Committee for the New Government, Ampdulleni, announced the official opening of the founding ceremony, the main leaders of the new government began to walk up to the viewing platform of the city tower one after another.
After the principal leaders of the new government ascended the viewing platform of the city tower of Huaxia Square, representatives of the military, government and people in China and foreign friends also climbed the slightly lower viewing platform on the left and right sides of the tower one after another.
"Flag-raising ceremony, start now." Ampdullerni exclaimed:
The gate of the tower in People's Square opened, and the 196-member national flag team walked out of the gate. The flag team wore the 1937-style flag team dress for the founding ceremony, which was different from the original military uniform, and the color of this dress was olive green and no longer camouflage. The cuff show has a Chinese dragon, which is not only serious, but also looks more powerful. The National Flag Guard is composed of the first three people, one flag bearer, two flag bearers, and behind these three there is an officer and soldier with a sword. The square team was sixteen rows, each with twelve men in a row of one hundred and ninety-two men. There were one hundred and ninety-six people in total.
As the national flag team walked out of the city wall, a huge salute of 99 guns played a cannon song one after another. The roaring cannon salute was like breaking the centuries-old history of colonization that had shrouded the land of Africa, announcing to the world that a new African country was about to be established.
Li Junhao stood on the rostrum of the city tower, looking at the national flag guards slowly walking out of the city tower, and his mind gradually returned to the original era, when he was just a nameless secular people, and whenever there was a national event, he could only sit in front of the TV and watch it with admiration. Not to mention the unattainable people on the rostrum, even the soldiers of these national flag guards, they are all the objects of envy, where would they have thought that an accident would allow them to come to this era, and let themselves have the day of making contributions and shocking Africa.
The African People's Army's military salute, positive step and other norms, he all borrowed from the later PLA set and the modification of the red police to suit the military strength and military steps of the Africans, not that he was nostalgic, but that set of things plus the modification of the red police, which has a strong superiority.
The 196-member national flag team walked neatly, waving their palms because of their snow-white gloves, which were neatly aligned like waves waving up layers of waves.
The whole square seemed to be silent in an instant, and everyone's eyes were on the national flag team that came down from the city gate. Through the square radio, everyone heard the sound of neat footsteps, powerful steps, and uniform movements.
After the national flag team walked to the national flag stand in front of the city tower, the queue was completed, and the flag guard team escorted the national flag to the national flag stand and was ready to raise the flag.
"All stand up, play the national anthem, and raise the national flag."
"How loud the song is, the red flag is flying......"
When the melody of this sounded, Lee Jun-ho unconsciously opened his mouth and sang along, because this is the country he created single-handedly, but he didn't have to sing it at all, but he still sang it, not nostalgic for the future generations, but for the achievements and upcoming glories of the country he created.
"Hula-hula-hula-hula"
When the national flag was raised and fluttered in the wind, everyone's eyes were on her, a blood-red flag, embroidered with a semicircular moon and five five-pointed stars, the stars and moon patterns were yellow, solemnly announcing to the world the awakening of the African land and the African people are about to take off.
Li Junhao listened to the cheers of these hundreds of thousands of people, as if he felt a breath like a mountain and a sea, and faintly, as if he saw that the powerful empire he had created had unified the continent with an area of 3,020 square kilometers step by step, and his soldiers were like rainbows.
"After the flag-raising ceremony, I would like to invite Comrade Lee Joon-ho, President of the Republic, Chairman of the Supreme Military Commission, to deliver a founding speech," Ampdulleni then announced loudly:
