In fact, before coming to Washington, Erin had already told him, and he himself had read enough of the tourist brochure, but he still came, which means that there is still a place that can attract him, and this place is the White House.

Hong Tao, as a person who has been to the United States, and has also married an American daughter-in-law, every time he has a dinner in China, someone will ask him: Have you been to the White House? Have you been to the Capitol? Has the Pentagon been there? Have you ever been to the Statue of Liberty? As a result, Hong Tao never went to anyone, so he had to shake his head at others with guilt, as if he was lying. Even so, Hong Tao can see people's wonder and disdain from the eyes of others, it is estimated that half of those people think that Hong Tao is bragging, and the other half must think that Hong Tao must be married to a firewood girl in a remote rural area of the United States, otherwise how can he not take his foreign husband to see Tiananmen Square and visit Wangfujing!

In order to clear Erin's identity as a firewood girl, and to make herself more justified when she bragged in the future, Hong Tao planned to take this opportunity to make up for all his lessons. The girl who had to read in the power outage had already seen it from afar, and took a group photo, although she didn't have close contact, but Hong Tao felt that it was enough to prove that she had been there, and people loved to study so much, so don't bother her. As for the remaining three places, they all happened to be gathered in Washington, so they simply watched them together.

However, there is a problem here, the White House, the Capitol and the Pentagon are not the three places you want to enter, especially for foreign tourists, you need to make an appointment in advance, some need to be half a year in advance, and some need to be nine days in advance. Moreover, the White House does not accept individual visitors, and it must be a group of more than 10 people, with a letter of recommendation from a member of Congress, and a regular American tour guide to enter.

Hong Tao must not have a high-end and high-grade friend like a member of the US Congress, he can't get a letter of recommendation, and even if he gets it, he doesn't have the time to apply 6 months in advance. Since people won't let us in. Then let's have a treatment with the girl who has to read in a power outage, from a distance! Luckily, the White House and the Capitol are around for photos.

The Pentagon treats tourists more politely, only need to go to the official website to apply 9 days in advance, Hong Tao continued his good luck, he and Erin's application was approved, and the visit time was set at 13:30 in the afternoon, which was outdated.

Hong Tao and Erin arrived in Washington, D.C., at 11 a.m., along Highway 50 into the heart of the city, and after arriving at Mount Vernon Square, less than a kilometer ahead of the White House's large dome. At about the same distance on the left, there is the same large dome, which is the Capitol.

The two parked their cars in a paid parking lot on 8th Street, then trotted all the way to 15th Avenue east of the White House and clicked a few photos with the White House as the background, then turned around and headed east, to the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue and 3rd Street, used the Capitol Building as a background to click a few more, and then quickly ran back to the parking lot and drove into the car, where the parking fee was too expensive. $45 an hour, no delay.

It took less than 40 minutes for the White House and the Capitol to be completely resolved, and the next target was the Pentagon. As the military command and management organ of the United States, the name of the Pentagon has spread all over the world. In film and television. Whenever humanity is threatened, a table of Americans, whether they wear military uniforms or not, will always sit in an operational command room in the Pentagon, and you will represent the people of the whole world with every word you say.

This mysterious building is just southwest of Washington, D.C. Just across the Potomac River to the right, there's another attraction next to it called Arlington Cemetery. This cemetery is the largest and most famous of more than 100 cemeteries in the United States. It is a bit like the Babaoshan Martyrs Cemetery in my country, most of the people buried here are soldiers who died for the American people, in addition to other public officials or people who have contributed to the country, anyway, ordinary people can't be buried here.

Hong Tao did not plan to enter the public fundraiser to pay respects, these are all family affairs of Americans, and he is an outsider, so don't go in and cause trouble. Driving the car off the overpass, Hong Tao parked the car in the parking lot on the west side of the Pentagon according to the requirements in the reservation reply, and then put all the cameras, mobile phones and other things in the car, and waited in the parking lot for the tour guide to pick him up.

The Pentagon does not look as solemn and majestic as it is in the TV movie, from this position of Hongtao Station can only see one side and two corners, just now on the highway can also see two sides and three corners, if you want to observe the whole picture, you have to take a helicopter to the sky to see, in order to see that the building is really the shape of five corners, but this treatment is not for ordinary people, and the second shift does not need to think about it.

As long as you enter the distance of 500 meters around the Pentagon, there are warning signs everywhere telling you not to take pictures, let alone make small moves that could easily arouse suspicion. Whether it's a highway, a parking lot or an intersection, there are cameras with pan-tilts hanging on the poles, and your every move is probably monitored.

Hong Tao belongs to the kind of people who are not very bold, but they still like cheap tricks, after receiving the news of the successful appointment of the Pentagon, he pondered for a long time, and then went to New York's Chinatown to wander around, and bought himself a special trip to the Pentagon.

This outfit is a green military hat with a red five-pointed star hanging on it, this thing was popular in Beijing when Hong Tao was a child, green military uniform, blue police pants, and white elastic mouth shoes, which was the standard clothing for bad children in Beijing schools at that time. If you add a green military hat, it means that you are more arrogant and underbeaten, and you belong to the kind of thing that others have to fight wherever you go.

Hong Tao originally wanted to buy a military hat from the former Soviet Union, but he couldn't find it in several places, he just wanted to see what treatment he would receive if he wore this thing into the top command of the US military, if he could secretly take a photo, then the NB he could blow after returning to China would be big!

It's a pity that the photo plan is difficult to achieve safely, because the tour guide who came to pick him up was not a tour guide in the ordinary sense, but an American active duty soldier, after he saw the hat on Hong Tao's head, he reiterated the precautions and discipline of the visit with Hong Tao and Erin, and then took the two to pass the first security check of the guards and walked into a house in front of the building.

In the house, Hong Tao and Erin had to fill out a form, check their documents again, and then go through a security check similar to the airport security check to make sure they didn't have any prohibited items on their bodies, and then they were allowed to give each of them a yellow and blue sign to hang on their chests. Hong Tao and their group of 9 people, led by that soldier, like a new recruit, lined up in a sparse straggler, and officially entered the Pentagon.

The gate for visitors to enter is not dedicated, and many of the staff in the building also use this gate, and from time to time people in military uniforms walk past Hong Tao and them, and some people even greet visitors, without the feeling of entering a military center at all.

After entering the gate, there is a hall, opposite which are four escalators going up and down the stairs, and there is a big sign in the middle of the escalator with a line of big letters: U.S. Department of Defense! There are also 4 small signs underneath, each written in smaller font: U.S. Department of the Army, U.S. Department of the Navy, U.S. Air Department, U.S. Marine Corps. Then there were a lot of flags planted next to it, and the military tour guide accepted them one by one, which branch of the military represented by that flag.

In front of the escalator here, there is a device like a subway ticket gate, of course, this device is not used to check tickets, but to identify the user. The military tour guide did not take Hong Tao and the other visitors to the elevator, but after introducing the flags, he took everyone to a large conference room on the left, and asked everyone to wait here, and he didn't say what they were waiting for.

About 10 minutes later, the door in the conference room opened, and with the sound of neat footsteps, a team of soldiers wearing different military uniforms walked in, all young men, just like the American GIs seen in the movie. After the military tour guide's explanation, Hong Tao finally understood that he was not really a tour guide in the Pentagon, he was only responsible for bringing tourists here, and the rest was all done by these soldiers.

There are a total of 6 soldiers who came in, and the uniforms are not the same, Hong Tao doesn't know any of them, these military uniforms seem to be military dresses, the main colors are blue and black, some are white pants, some are black pants, and it is not clear what the specific attention is.

The six soldiers spoke with a full sense of air and a full posture, all with their feet apart and their hands behind their backs. The first thing they talked about was the problem of the camera and the mobile phone, the mobile phone must be turned off, the camera cannot be used, but they will not let you hand over the mobile phone and the camera, which Hong Tao is a little puzzled, isn't this to seduce others to make mistakes?

After the last nonsense, the soldiers made a very strange move to the visitors, they divided into 2 waves, a wave of 2 people in the front, a wave of 4 people in the back, and looked after all the visitors. It was nothing, but the two soldiers in front of them actually began to walk backwards, and they walked quite fast, whether they were on the elevator or around the corner of the corridor, they walked backwards, always keeping their eyes on the group of visitors behind.

Visit with a word to describe the most appropriate, that is, to see the flowers, basically nothing to see, most of them are in the corridor to hang a window to make a painting, and then the tour guide's soldiers began to speak in the vernacular, anyway, what comes out of their mouths is history, Hong Tao doesn't want to listen to it, it can't be done here, the front two, the back four soldiers are staring at it without blinking. (To be continued......)
