Chapter 442: Inauguration Ceremony (3)

When the light finally let go, and beautiful clouds appeared in the sky wet, and at this time, everyone who was finally able to get out of the relatively fixed range of activities suddenly found that not only did many of them experience the rainstorm season without water or mud for the first time, and for the first time saw a city that could pour water clean, but also witnessed an all-weather road system. The roads around Gondor, which had been troublesome to build, were immediately put into full operation. The troops who had been stranded by the torrential rain entered Gondor one by one as fast as they could, and groups of travelers, baggage, and all kinds of commodities arrived, and groups of residents who were ready to move into Gondor arrived. The airship routes, which had been stopped for a while due to heavy rains, were even more dense. And Jiang Yan and Zheng Zhe, who have always regarded airships as weapons, widened their eyes even more, and they suddenly found that if they were used to transport supplies, airships were actually quite effective. Of course, this is only limited to the airships that have been developed quite well here in Yunzhou, those airships with relatively new models, and the batch purchased by Chunnan does not have this kind of function. Judging from the short training time now, it is already very good that those pilots in Chunnan can stay in the sky for the scheduled time.

In just a few days, a total of about a hundred airships landed on several moorings in Gondor. From this day on, in addition to the annual rainstorm season, the Messenger Bureau will temporarily use Thunder Cliff and Ningyuan as its temporary headquarters, and communicate with Gondor by telegraph and telephone, at other times, the Messenger Bureau will also start to operate with Gondor as the center. Ericsson, Nokia, Motorola, and Alcatel have finally begun to work separately according to different departments, and have begun to compete with each other and fully implement Yunzhou's complex and meticulous confidentiality system.

At this time, Tan Xiaopei and the others had already embarked on the wide avenue from Thunder Cliff to Gondor under the arch guard of the two battalions of forbidden troops. The two battalions of forbidden troops brought by Tan Xiaopei, one of them was the part that Zhuo Xianchen brought before. Although Zhuo Xianchen has served as ambassador to Chunnan for many years and has been very fruitful, it is difficult for most officials in the DPRK and China to associate Zhuo Xianchen, who is now doing things steadily and taking care of all parties, with the unreasonable stunned young officer back then, and has regarded Zhuo Xianchen as a civilian official rather than a military general, but the troops he led back then have always maintained the tradition of the year and done all the details meticulously. The equipment and combat effectiveness of the forbidden army are naturally not bad, but this forbidden army camp was summoned on such a ceremonial occasion, and more importantly, because this battalion had an almost perfect honor guard performance. In Tan Xiaopei's opinion, it seems that this is also normal, the current commander of this battalion was the best performing lieutenant under Zhuo Xianchen back then, and his temperament is more solemn and rigid than Zhuo Xianchen.

The armor worn by these two forbidden military camps is specially customized honor guard armor, and all the armor surfaces have been carefully polished, like a mirror, and on the shoulders, chest, back, and hats, there are also gilded copper ornaments. Looking at this force from a distance, or looking at it from the sky, will be dizzy by the reflected points of light. And when this army stepped into Gondor in high spirits, the whole city was boiling. In the eyes of those professional soldiers in Yunzhou who take pleasure in fighting, this kind of prosperous military appearance is just etiquette and honor guards, but it is only a part that has nothing to do with the combat effectiveness of the troops, but in the eyes of the people, in the eyes of those of the Benwolf Yuan tribe and the northern tribe, it represents the glory and splendor of the entire Dongping.

"Ye Tao, I'm not late, am I? It's been raining for a long time, and I really don't know the bottom of my heart, but fortunately, I just arrived, and the day after tomorrow is the ceremony. Tan Xiaopei chatted with Ye Tao while watching the gorgeous city. The reaction of the soldiers of the forbidden army was a little strange, but it was not unexpected. The soldiers of the forbidden army lived in Danyang and Tiecheng, especially Tiecheng, which was also a city designed and built by Ye Tao, but when they came to Gondor, they saw the dazzling white light reflected in the bright sunlight after the rainstorm, and they could see the brilliant appearance of Gangdor from a long, far distance, and they all had the illusion that they were moving towards heaven. Gondor seems to be a mythical city rather than a real existence. Tan Xiaopei was not surprised, because the people in the Intelligence Bureau had reported the more fierce performance of those northern tribes. Once upon a time there was a small tribe that had come to Gondor before the rainstorm season, and when they saw Gondor in the sun, a large number of people could not help but tremble and bow down to the ground. Some of them even made their way to this magnificent city built by humans step by step. And after coming to Gondor, watching the various facilities of Gondor, understanding the rules of Gondor, and being punished for not following the rules, in the eyes of many people in the northern tribe, Ye Tao, who was able to build such a city, could not be a mortal......

Actually, many people feel this way. How could a mortal be a great craftsman, a talented general, and a generous and wise ruler at the same time? Those friends from the Samir Kingdom had a very obvious admiration and longing for Ye Tao, and even the young people in that huge mission almost all came from thousands of miles to see Ye Tao. It is conceivable that after the inauguration ceremony of Gondor, Kyushu Trading Company, Seven Seas Trading Company, Samir Kingdom, Tan Xiaopei, Ye Tao and others will inevitably have a discussion and mediation of relevant interests.

"Your Majesty, now, Gondor's surrounding landscape works, greening projects, power transmission and distribution projects, water supply projects, sewage treatment and discharge projects have all been completed. Now, on behalf of all the people and officials of Yunzhou, on behalf of our brave soldiers, and on behalf of all the people attached to us in the Benwolf Plain and the northern grasslands, I invite you to guide us in carrying out the final project. When the project is completed, the ceremony begins. Ye Tao said with a smile.

"Oh? What the? Tan Xiaopei sighed that Ye Tao is really a person who understands his mind very well, such a great city, everyone hopes that their name can be associated with this city. He is no exception, he has come all the way here, and naturally it is for this. And even if it's just moving a brick, it's fascinating to be able to contribute to the city.

"In the middle of the central square of Gondor there are three flag holders. Here, we are scheduled to set up three flags. The flagpole in the middle should raise the Dongping national flag, but now the Wenhua Hall and the Ministry of Rites are still discussing this matter, so let's use the Dongping battle flag for the time being. This is also in line with Dongping's ambition to actively seek to unify Middle-earth. On the left is the city flag of Gondor, which has been filtered and used to use the slightly changed outline of the appearance and image of the Gondor I drew before, and on the right is the personal command flag of the highest person in Gondor. Ye Tao explained the arrangement of the ceremony little by little. Tan Xiaopei was no stranger to these procedures, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites had already explained to him the situation of this simple but majestic ceremony. However, at the Gondor scene, listening to these contents under Ye Tao's explanation, there is a different feeling, where what is going on is no longer a virtual concept, but a real place. In particular, the wide and straight central avenue, and the huge third-floor balcony of the Governor's Palace, which was used for military parade and salute, all made people feel a little strange. Perhaps, I was too excited. And at the end, Tan Xiaopei heard Ye Tao add: "The craftsmen of Ye's workshop have also prepared special gifts for the inauguration ceremony this time...... They cast three stainless steel flagpoles. ”

Stainless steel? Tan Xiaopei's eyes lit up, and the important ministers of Dongping who surrounded him were also very interested. The battle flag has always been one of the most demoralizing situations, and the flagpole made of steel has relatively good luck such as "not falling" and "always strong". In this case, the erection of the flagpole is giving the entire Gondor a spiritual meaning and a sustenance, and the significance is becoming more and more significant.

Tan Xiaopei laughed and said, "Okay! However, don't forget Danyang, you have to come there like this. Ye Tao smiled and said: "That's nature, wait for the completion of the new capital of Danyang, wait for me to prepare the most sumptuous gifts." ”

Although Tan Xiaopei was allowed to command, in fact, the entire team that set up the flagpole had already been prepared. On this most important and face-to-face occasion, Ye Tao did not let all the people of the Ye Construction Bank come forward, but organized various construction banks that participated in the construction of Gondor a long time ago, as well as those people who made great efforts, selected a team from them, conducted long-term training, and then came to participate in today's feast. The material for the base of the flagpole has been prepared for a long time, as has the hole for the flagpole in the middle of the granite floor of the square. As Tan Xiaopei gave the order, the craftsmen shouted heroically, and began to perform their duties, taking the flagpole out of the tent temporarily stored in the square, pulling the correct position, erecting it, and then loading it into the hole with a bang. The whole process lasted more than two hours.

Then, the less exciting process of installing the base of the flagpole began, with a number of craftsmen specializing in sculpture building pieces of white marble that had been processed into a certain shape in advance and mounted around the three flagpoles. It was busy from noon until the next morning, and the three bases were completed, mainly because the adhesive used between the white marble blocks took some time to dry. On the following day, the best of the craftsmen who specialize in sculpture will cover the outside of the three flags with all kinds of ornate and auspicious ornaments. Before the ceremony began, Ye Taolai personally carved the eyes of the dragons, unicorns, and pixiu on the three flag bases.

Everyone likes that kind of implication: Tan Xiaopei has set grand goals and outlined lofty prospects for everyone, while Ye Tao has made these ideals come alive.
