Chapter 1200: Every Second Counts!

"Ladies and gentlemen,

Tonight's important and unique ceremony will condense the changes and continuation of Hong Kong's history in an instant.

First, the ceremony marked the return of Heung Kong to the People's Republic of China after more than 150 years of British rule, in accordance with the Joint Declaration signed in 1984.

At the same time, the ceremony also celebrates the continuation of the government, which will retain its own social and economic system and its own way of life under the same treaty and the many subsequent agreements signed to implement the treaty.

Tonight, I would like to pay tribute to all of you who embodied the concept of "one country, two systems" in the joint statement.

......

Ladies and gentlemen.

Tonight, Huaxia will take responsibility for this place and its people, both of which are precious to all of us.

The 1984 Joint Declaration has made a solemn promise to the world to ensure the continuation of the Hong Kong way of life, and the United Kingdom will remain steadfast in its support for the Joint Declaration.

We are confident that our commitment to Hong Kong and our close relationship with Hong Kong will not only continue, but will also be deepened as Hong Kong and its people continue to prosper.

Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen and the people of Great Britain, I would like to express our gratitude, admiration, friendship and friendly wishes to all the people of Hong Kong.

You have been our friends for generations, and we will not forget you.

At the same time, we will also look with the utmost concern to the new era that is about to begin in your extraordinary history......"

Charles's speech was very rhythmic and the words were very polite, and he couldn't feel that he still wanted to run away in the afternoon, so as to make Huaxia lose face.

Others only care about Charles's speech, but Han Xuan keenly noticed that something was wrong, not the speech script or tone, but the time of the speech!

In the morning, I asked Mr. An Wenbin, the chief planner of the Chinese side, and knew that the speech time for Prince Charles was only five minutes, and the big boss spoke a little earlier just now, and now Prince Charles is more than twenty-three seconds!

Having rehearsed many times before, it is impossible for Prince Charles not to know what it means to be 23 seconds slower, which means that it is likely to miss the handover time at zero o'clock!

I'm afraid it was just to disrupt the original deployment that he stabbed the knife just now, deliberately saying slowly.

Other times, twenty-three seconds is nothing, but today is the handover ceremony, and the time has long been strictly set.

When Han Xuan cast his eyes on An Wenbin, he found that there was a clear reflection of light on his head, probably sweating urgently.

An Wenbin held the watch in his hand, and saw that Prince Charles was still waving goodbye, his expression was gritted his teeth, and he couldn't wait to come to the stage to pull him down, and then step on a few feet and trample this bastard to death!

It was only twenty-three seconds, but it disrupted the entire deployment.

The next rhythm was significantly faster, and some people had already held out the five-star red flag and the bauhinia district flag, ready to be raised immediately after the flag was lowered.

Fortunately, he had rehearsed countless times, and he already had a plan to deal with the crisis, and after two or three small sessions, he made up for the time he wasted, and the Chinese host spoke obviously a little fast.

The next thing is to lower the British flag, Han Xuan found that sitting in the front row is not a good thing, you need to pay attention to the image, and it is uncomfortable to stand up and straighten your back.

The two little princes are much more comfortable, lying on the chair with two legs dangling, and some reporters have noticed the two, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of trouble in the UK.

The expressions on their faces when chatting with Fei Peng's eldest daughter were so happy, you must remember that this is a day of shame in the eyes of the British......

When the British flag was announced to be lowered, An Wenbin, who was standing not far away, breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the moth's trouble would end here, but when the sound of "God Save the Queen" played by the military band came, his face changed again!

During the rehearsal, he had heard this song countless times, and the melody had long been memorized, and the usual performance usually ended in about fifty-four seconds, but today the melody of this song is exceptionally fast, and not just a little faster.

Han Xuan also found out about this, and turned his head to stare at Prince William, annoyed that his face was worthless, and his father, Prince Charles, didn't listen to him at all, and they were all messed up.

When the British national anthem was played, it was already around 11:59:03 p.m. on June 30, and according to the previous plan, there were three seconds left after the performance, just when the national anthem was played, and then the national flag was raised.

It was arranged in this way during the rehearsal, but the crown prince did not cooperate, the rhythm of "God Save the Queen" became faster and faster, and the flag raiser did not receive the news in advance, looked up at the national flag that had only been lowered by half, and hurriedly pulled it a few times, until the end of the music, the national flag was just lowered.

An Wenbin looked at the time, his eyes were already black, and the national anthem, which was only about fifty-four seconds, was played twelve seconds faster! In just forty-two seconds!

When he looked at Han Xuan, he wanted to cry without tears, thinking that this guy's face was too big, it only took a second, and Prince Charles actually gave him so much time.

It's the last link, and it's time to raise the red flag, but the time hasn't come.

The temperature in the venue was obviously not high, but the host was sweating the shirt in his suit, and he tried to delay time, but just a few words, even if he delayed, he couldn't delay for a few seconds.

After the national flag was raised and the national anthem was played, there were five seconds left before it was zero o'clock, and the Chinese side did not earn the five seconds of the UK, and the scene was silent and fell into a vacuum.

Han Xuan, the old man, and grandma stood there, only to hear the familiar tune suddenly come, and the pores all over the body instantly dilated!

A warm current rushed from the back to the door of the head, and the whole scalp was numb!

The five-star red flag and the bauhinia regional flag of the Xiangjiang Special Administrative Region were raised at the same time and slowly rose with the national anthem.

At this moment, Xiangjiang, which has been colonized by the British for more than 150 years, has officially returned!

At midnight, the fireworks continued to be set off outside, and it was even more lively than just now.

Outside the convention and exhibition center, there was a sea of people and red flags dancing.

Tens of thousands of white doves were released, and the sky was full of colorful balloons, tied with ribbons and slowly rising, and people were so excited that they hugged each other!

At the handover ceremony, after the red flag was raised to the top, it was blown by the wind and fully unfolded, and the five yellow stars trembled slightly.

The applause at the scene was thunderous, the corners of the old man's eyes were moist, and he couldn't wipe them clean, so he clapped his hands and wiped his head sideways on the sleeves of his suit.

At this time, there is a round panda, walking against the corner of the wall, thinking that he has been very careful, and no one else can see him.

But the chubby rolling is really conspicuous, even the big boss is staring at the small bar, only to see it come to a pot of bamboo potted plants and open its mouth to bite, and then sit down with a butt and eat directly in the pot, causing people to laugh.

An Wenbin was about to cry again, muttering: "I just said don't use bamboo!" ”

On the window glass, reflecting the fireworks outside, they stood on the territory of Huaxia......
