Chapter 498 - Establishment of National Symbols
"Okay, let's discuss it here today, it's not too early, everyone go back and rest, and we will discuss it tomorrow." The Commander proposed.
Hearing the commander's proposal, everyone looked up at the sky outside, and it was indeed dark. So everyone stood up and prepared to get up and leave, but Chen Jinghui suddenly spoke up.
"Wait a minute, I have a suggestion, that is, we will immediately arrange personnel to draw the national flag, the national emblem, determine the national anthem, the capital, etc., and do it overnight, and we will continue to discuss it tomorrow. There is also the founding of the country, we need to discuss the date of the founding of the country, and everyone will think about it when they go back. Chen Jinghui said.
"Xi Jinghui is right, these really need to be determined immediately, or you kid thinks too much, these really need to be arranged immediately." The commander said.
"These are all musts, and it's better to be sure as soon as possible, I agree." Commander Jiang said.
"Okay, I'll find someone to start discussing right away, and try to come up with a plan as early as possible." The Prime Minister said.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, come up with a plan as soon as possible." The commander said.
When the commander had finished speaking, everyone went back to their quarters. In fact, Chen Jinghui wanted to say that he had these things in his heart for a long time, but he didn't say it. There are some subtle differences between the current situation and the previous history, so it is better to let you put forward your own opinions after coming up with a plan.
Soon a night passed, but one night was still too short, and even those designers who thought about it overnight failed to complete the task of the prime minister. Helplessly, Chen Jinghui and the others could only discuss other issues first and postpone these issues.
Three days later, the Prime Minister told everyone that he had finally come up with a few sets of plans that they needed to refer to, so everyone gathered again and began to discuss.
"Let's talk about the first item first, the capital is determined to be there. There are three places for us to choose from, Beiping, Xi'an, and Nanjing. The commander took the plan and said.
"Let's choose Nanjing." Commander Chiang still likes Nanjing and has unique feelings for Nanjing.
"I think the choice is in Xi'an, which is the economic and cultural center of all dynasties and the center of our China, which is more suitable for national management." said the commander-in-chief.
"I think it's better to choose Beiping. First of all, Nanjing was the capital of the GM government before, and it is not appropriate to continue to be the capital. Although Xi'an was the economic and cultural center of many dynasties, it was all in the past, and the infrastructure construction was not in place. And Beiping is different, he is the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, and it is a dynasty that is relatively advanced from now. The second is that Flying Fox planned and built Beiping before, and now it can be said that the infrastructure is relatively perfect. Finally, the location, from the map of our country, it looks like a chicken, and Beiping is exactly the location of the heart of the chicken, so I think Beiping is more suitable. Chen Jinghui said.
"I also agree with Jinghui's opinion that Beiping's current economic development is very fast, which is incomparable between Xi'an and Nanjing. What's more, his cultural heritage is very strong, and there is also the Forbidden City, a place that vividly symbolizes a powerful regime. The prime minister said.
"Okay, let's make sure that the capital is Beiping, do you still have any opinions?" The commander asked.
"No," everyone said.
"Then let's talk about the flag, there are two options here, one is a big five-pointed star, and one is four small five-pointed stars around a big five-pointed star." The commander said.
"I think it's better to use the first plan, a big red five star, symbolizing the original intention of our party." said the commander-in-chief.
"I also think this plan is better." The commander and the prime minister said.
"Isn't it a little monotonous, just a big five-pointed star, it feels like something is missing." Commander Jiang said.
"Commander Chiang is right, a big five-pointed star is indeed monotonous, and it is not very symbolic. On the other hand, the second plan is different, with a large five-pointed star symbolizing the party's supreme leadership. The four small pentagrams and the five-pointed star are gathered together, symbolizing that the country's lakes and seas are revolving around the party, and this meaning is even greater. Chen Jinghui said.
"Well, that's right, haha, I didn't expect you to see so much information from here, the same as the designer's idea at the beginning. Okay, I agree. The prime minister said happily.
"Oh, there's that kind of thing, and since that's the case, then I don't have a problem with that. It seems that we are still a little short-sighted, but Jinghui can see through it. The commander said.
"Originally, I wanted to say something more, but after listening to Jinghui say this, it's good to wear the national flag, so that's it." Commander Jiang said.
"Okay, I don't have a problem either. Jinghui is right, the party is surrounded by all corners of the world, symbolizing the leading position of our party, good. The commander-in-chief said.
"Well, the flag is settled. Let's talk about the national emblem, this must be cautious, and the design team has not yet come up with a specific plan. You can now share your thoughts and then use them for the designers' reference. The commander said.
"The national emblem, like the national flag, is something of national significance, and it must be cautious." Commander Jiang said.
"I'm a big boss, I only know how to fight, I can't think of this thing, you just decide." said the commander-in-chief.
"Jinghui, do you have any specific thoughts, say them and let everyone listen." The prime minister looked at Chen Jinghui and asked.
"Actually, I've thought about it in the past few days, if the capital is set in Beiping, then I really have a little idea." Chen Jinghui said.
"Then you can talk about your thoughts first, so that everyone can think about it first." The commander said.
"Here's what I think." Chen Jinghui began to draw with pen and paper, and after a few minutes, he drew one that suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
"It's so complicated, some can't understand it, can you explain it." The commander asked. The other three also looked at Chen Jinghui, wanting to hear his explanation.
"Okay, I'll explain, these five stars are already known, it is the national flag, the following building is the noon gate of the Beiping Forbidden City (it is recommended to change it to Tiananmen after the founding of the People's Republic of China), surrounded by ears of grain and gears, as well as curtains, and the eye color I suggest is red and yellow, these two colors are traditional symbols of auspicious colors in our China. The ears of grain, the five stars, Tiananmen Square, and the gears are yellow, and the base and curtain are red. Specifically, the working class and peasant class, symbolized by the ears of grain and the gears, surround the party. Tiananmen Square is a symbol of the ancient feudal social regime. The five stars shining on this Tiananmen Square symbolizes the indomitable anti-feudal and imperialist national spirit of our Chinese nation. And the five-star overriding the gate of heaven shows that our Chinese nation has stood up from it. Chen Jinghui explained.
"Well said, it said that my heart is in trouble. Yes, the country has begun a new chapter, and the nation has finally stood up after continuous efforts, and it is no longer oppressed by feudalism and imperialism. This implication is good and vivid. There are also cogs and ears of grain that symbolize the workers and peasants, which vividly bind the people of the whole country to the state power, and everyone works together around the power. Okay, I think that's good. I really don't know how your kid's brain grows, and how he can come up with such a good national emblem. The commander said.
"It's so good, and it's good to paint, isn't that the original intention of our revolution? I have no opinion, I think I will use this as the national emblem. The prime minister said.
"We don't have a problem either." The commander-in-chief and Commander Chiang glanced at each other and said.
"That's good, then there is only time left for the national anthem and the founding of the country. Everyone hurriedly expressed their opinions, and personally I felt that I would compare it with the March of the Volunteers, and get up...... People who don't want to make an effort......" said the commander, and he couldn't help but sing.
"The Chinese nation has arrived, the most dangerous time, and the people of the whole country burst out with their last roar, get up, get up, get up, we are all united as one, brave the enemy's artillery fire to advance, advance, advance." Everyone at the scene couldn't help but sing along with the commander-in-chief, they sang their hearts, and sang the spirit of the Chinese nation to be strong and unyielding, and brave to face all difficulties and challenges.
"No problem, I agree." said the commander-in-chief.
"We agree." Chen Jinghui and they also nodded and passed.
"At this time of the founding of the country, everyone talks about when it is more appropriate." The commander then asked.
"I think it's better on January 1st." said the commander-in-chief.
"I think it's better on the day of the Chinese New Year." The Prime Minister said.
"Actually, it doesn't matter when the time is on that day, what matters is whether we can catch up with this time." Commander Jiang said.
"It's July, it's still too far away from January 1st and the Spring Festival, and the longer it goes, the more variables there are, so I think it's better to put it on October 1st. Now it is only three months until October, and Peking has almost finished construction, and it should be able to build our government building and other buildings in three months. It's set at eleven. Chen Jinghui suggested.
"It's okay, the sooner the country is founded, it is equivalent to sending a signal to the world, our Huaxia is different from the past, and we have to think clearly about what we want to do first." The commander said.
"Well, then it's decided, it's set at eleven. You don't have to worry about the rest, I'll take care of everything and make sure everything is done on time. The prime minister said.
Everyone nodded and agreed. In the following week, a national congress was held in Yan'an. With the joint participation of representatives from all walks of life across the country, all the things that Chen Jinghui and they had discussed before were adopted. Legislation, the establishment of the banking system, the establishment of the courts, the establishment of the industrial and commercial departments, and the procuratorial departments, as well as the selection of candidates, were all adopted at the congress.
