On November 1, 1946, when the flames of world war had not yet been extinguished, the great Chinese nation ushered in a new chapter in the history of civilization development.

This day is the founding of the Chinese Empire.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the sky of Hanjing was cloudless, and as the imperial Yanjing, in this great day, the whole city entered a special state. Everyone wore their favorite and most beautiful clothes.

Most people turned on the radio, radio, or television in advance, and some even two or three families got together, cut the melons and fruits, sat in front of the TV, chatting about this exciting new empire, while looking forward to the beginning of the founding ceremony of the empire.

Citizens who had the opportunity to go to the Imperial Plaza in Hanjing (formerly Huaxia Square) to participate in the 'Millions of People Grand Ceremony' were joined by hundreds of thousands of compatriots and international friends from all over the country and even from all over the world, and went to the Imperial Plaza early in the morning to undergo security checks and queue up to enter the venue.

On the Imperial Boulevard, which has also been renamed, a very wide street has been separated into a section as a gathering place for the parade, and all kinds of weapons are also in place, just waiting for the ceremony to begin.

"Fortunately, we got up early this time!"

Looking at the dozens of long queues waiting to enter the Empire Plaza, Hook, the U.S. political axe's commercial representative in China, and Maenes, a world-class journalist who works for the New York newspaper and is known for reporting on China and the East.

"Yes! China is a hundred times more prosperous than it was back then. Thirteen years ago, when we stood here watching China's founding ceremony, we were still young people. ”

Marnes looked up at the location of the viewing platform of the tower, although the top of the empire led by the world-class great leader had not yet appeared, but he had seen a lot of photos of the great man.

"Compared to us, the great Majesty Zhang Shusheng is still so young."

"Your Majesty Zhang Shusheng?" Hook repeated with some amusement, saying, "Although the real imperial system was not immediately implemented, the whole world believed that this great man who crossed national borders would definitely become emperor, and he would definitely be the greatest emperor in the history of the Chinese nation." The title of His Majesty is exactly the habit of the Chinese. ”

"Yes, the name of this great man by the people has gradually changed from chairman to majesty, and as soon as the problems of the Far East are solved, he has ascended to the real altar and is a great uncrowned emperor."

As a Westerner, he always thinks that the Western world's understanding of China is somewhat biased or narrow, perhaps a short-sighted, white Western who is a frog at the bottom of a well, does not recognize the rise of China, let alone the Oriental miracle created by this great man.

He believes that the only way to have a true understanding of China is to really witness all this. As a person who has lived in China for 15 years, before the liberation, the founding of the People's Republic of China and the 13 years of glory since the founding of the People's Republic of China, he is qualified to say this.

"Mr. Hemingway!"

The two soon discovered an acquaintance, yes, Mr. Hemingway, a novelist and journalist who was once famous in the West for covering China's five-year military parade.

Unlike during the five-year military parade, when he could only watch the ceremony from the sidelines, this time, as an international friend and a well-known journalist who could maintain neutrality, Hemingway received an invitation from the empire to pass through the security check and go to the viewing platform below the tower to watch the founding ceremony.

"Mr. Hooke, Mr. Marnes, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Unlike these two long-term Americans, Hemingway spent more time running around the world, of course, staying in China for more than three years, and was recently invited to China as a freelance reporter for Time magazine.

"I've read your report on China's five-year military parade, it's very wonderful, and this time, I'm looking forward to seeing another unique news report full of novelist flavor." Marnes said sincerely, he was a journalist who preferred journalism, while Hemingway was a long-form journalist who preferred a novelistic style of reporting.

"I'm very confident that China has changed so much in the past eight years that I'm really shocked." Hemingway said frankly.

Soon, it was the turn of several people to go to security, and after checking that there were no problems, they were released.

…… Hanjing time, 9 o'clock in the morning!

After two or three hours of preparation, the rehearsal of the mass audience, the Imperial Square, one of the two largest squares of the Empire, was fully ready, and the millions of spectators were divided into many phalanxes on the huge Imperial Square, and they also quietly began to wait for the ceremony to begin.

From time to time, a ceremonial music began to play throughout the Imperial Forum to mark the opening of the ceremony.

In the sound of ceremonial music, millions of soldiers and civilians in the whole square, overseas compatriots, overseas friends, and invited representatives of various countries all set their eyes on the highest viewing platform on the upper floor of Huaxia City.

Everyone knew that His Majesty Zhang Shusheng, the great head of state and the uncrowned emperor of the empire, would appear on the city tower.

In the month when the country announced the countdown to the founding ceremony of the empire, Zhang Shusheng completely completed the step from a quasi-altar to a real altar, and became an irreplaceable national great man in the eyes of the Chinese nation, and a great man of the Chinese nation who can transmit thousands of years.

There are a few talented people who can dominate the country and expand the territory of China by two times, a few people who can really solve the problem of people's clothing, food, housing, and transportation, a few people who can solve the problem of providing for the elderly and educating the young, and a few people who can solve the problem of equality and relative freedom in a broad sense for hundreds of millions of Chinese people.

In the opening music, a group of people gradually appeared in the corridor on the city tower, even if they had not seen people clearly, the millions of soldiers and civilians in the audience had already cheered, accompanied by thunderous applause that even the palms of their hands were unconsciously red.

Soon, the emperor [***] dignitaries led by Zhang Shusheng appeared on the high tower of Huaxia City, which had the significance of two founding of the country, and finally was forced to accept the tragic fate of the portrait being hung on the tower under the wave of imperial founding after Zhang Shusheng refused many times. According to his meaning, since he wanted to hang it, he originally wanted to hang Sun Changqing's appearance as well, but the old man resolutely refused to obey, and took complete retirement as a 'threat', so Zhang Shusheng gave up.

The main military and political dignitaries of the empire who ascended the viewing platform of the castle tower were:

The head of the empire, the leader of the Baath Party, the chairman of the Supreme Power Committee of the Chinese nation, and the uncrowned emperor of the empire, Zhang Shusheng!

Imperial veteran, honorary deputy leader of the Baath Party, vice chairman of the Supreme Power Committee of the Chinese nation, Sun Changqing!

The following are listed in no particular order: He Ning and Lu Yunyan, the wives of the two leaders, Zhang Xueliang, honorary deputy commander-in-chief of the three armed forces of the empire, Zhou Guolai, premier of the Government Council, General Jiang Baili, chief of the general staff of the empire, General Cai Yi, minister of national defense, General Luo Feng, director of the Special Intelligence Department, Wei Sancai, minister of propaganda, Li Zongren, minister of foreign affairs, Su Yuren, minister of operations, and three generals, Wu Tiejun, Deng Haoqian, and Fan Siran, commanders of the navy, army, and air forces...... and a large number of high-level party, government and military leaders.

It is worth mentioning that at the founding ceremony of the empire this time, there was one more person with a special identity on the viewing platform of the city tower, that is, Sun Laixi, the deputy general manager of Shusheng Company and the son of Sun Changqing, who was fully responsible for the global affairs of Shusheng Company. It was also from this moment that Shusheng Company and the Chinese Empire officially appeared in front of the world in a situation of intersection of business and politics. On the road of civilization expansion in the future, the expansion of the commercial territory is not easy to cause backlash and resistance, and the collision of countries will only take place when it is a last resort. The path of future civilization development, a powerful empire, a powerful interstellar bloc will be a must. Moreover, Zhang Shusheng has already prepared business projects for the time to start.

After the military and political dignitaries came to power, Wei Sancai, the minister of propaganda of the empire, walked to the microphone and was responsible for presiding over the founding ceremony.

"Compatriots, distinguished guests, in this golden autumn October, the whole country celebrates, the founding ceremony of the Chinese Empire will be held here. Let me now announce that the founding ceremony has officially begun.

The pacesetters are in place, the salute is fired, the national anthem is played, and the national flag is raised!! ”

After the simple opening remarks, as Wei Sancai's words fell, the 99 salutes on the east side of the square were already ready.

"Fire!!"

Rumble...... Rumble...... Rumble...... The 99 salutes, each firing 99 salutes, symbolize the eternal meaning of the empire's national fortunes.

In the sound of the salute, the first to take position were 199 salute soldiers dressed in regular uniforms, carrying Chinese-style courtesy rifles with bayonets, and walked to both sides of the Imperial Avenue in front of the city tower.

Afterwards, the national flag guard began to set off, escorting the national flag to the flag-raising platform with firm steps.

When the national flag guards were in place and ready, the thousand-member national anthem troupe that resounded all over the audience officially played the national anthem.

"Get up ......"

A majestic golden dragon flag that gradually unfurls in the wind slowly rises in the national anthem of all the military and civilians.

Subsequently, Wei Sancai announced: "I invite Zhang Shusheng, the supreme leader of the Chinese empire and chairman of the Supreme Power Committee of the Chinese nation, to speak." ”

What is the posture of the applause of millions of people, Zhang Shusheng has never been so clear as at this moment. Thirteen years ago, eight years ago, he experienced two grand ceremonies, but he didn't feel as deep as this one, perhaps because he was about to build an empire with his own hands and push it to the height of interstellar civilization. Perhaps it was because the millions of soldiers and civilians present were more enthusiastic and fanatical than they were thirteen years ago or eight years ago.

Zhang Shusheng is rarely dressed in a set of Tang costumes, but the color is a little golden, and there are good Suzhou embroidery craftsmen who weave dragon patterns on it, which is very shocking when you get closer, but in fact it is just a relatively special dress.

Standing in front of the microphone, he did not use the backup draft prepared by the Central Secretariat, but spoke slowly to the millions of soldiers and civilians present, to the more than 600 million compatriots in front of the television, and to nearly 700 million of the imperial citizens in total.
