285: A salute was fired!
As for how to test them?
The simplest method is to ignore Huaxia Country's warnings and continue deploying defensive systems in pre-selected locations.
It should be noted that the person in charge of T City has always had her own ulterior motives.
This can be clearly perceived from her international statements and her stance in various votes; the group she represents has always actively responded to invitations from other countries.
Conversely, she doesn't listen much to her own people.
Over the years, the country has taken many actions and made many strong responses, but out of consideration for mutual face, there has always been caution in specific actions.
Therefore, all we need to do is proceed with the placement of the defensive system on the day of the ceremony, and then continuously monitor domestic news and respond positively.
If it's still just talk with no actual action, then the so-called high-tech might truly be just a name...
Soon, two days passed in a flash.
The time quickly arrived at August 1st.
After the morning news broadcast, CCTV headquarters specifically adjusted the time and schedule of various programs in advance to free up the most prime-time slot for the final ceremony.
Because this large-scale ceremony fell during the summer vacation, almost every household's children, led by their parents or elders, sat in front of the television.
From first-grade elementary students to university students, it covered almost all student groups.
Of course, in addition to the strict requirements from schools for students, many government agencies and communities also paused work for half a day, moving projection screens to outdoor public areas to begin broadcasting.
Regarding patriotic education with positive energy, Huaxia Country has always adhered to the concept of 'no age limit, everyone's responsibility'.
It can be said that the overall attention for this large-scale ceremony should be the highest in recent years!
Previously, ceremonies were mostly scheduled for National Day. However, during the National Day holiday, many families chose to travel, naturally reducing their attention to such events.
This time is different!
In addition to the widely discussed diplomatic issues in recent times, the Huaxia Military Network also officially announced that the latest robot technology would make its debut in the large-scale ceremony!
This also attracted the attention of countless people.
Although the terrorist attack at the Global Robot Competition in Magic City a few days ago caused an extremely negative social impact, Su Yu's nanotechnology in that attack also shocked countless people.
The only pity was that in that live broadcast, the nano iron man suit only appeared for a fleeting moment, and the footage of the armor that everyone saw was extremely scarce.
Many people didn't even witness its grandeur with their own eyes.
But this large-scale ceremony is different!
This is an official display opportunity, and it's expected that everything people want to see will be showcased to the greatest extent.
CCTV Channel One.
At this moment, a red documentary is being broadcast before the ceremony. The documentary reviews footage from past large-scale ceremonies since the founding of the nation.
From the very beginning with millet and rifles, with only a few cars driving through Tianmen Square, to later various honor guards in neatly uniform attire marching in goose-step.
And then to fighter jets flying across the sky and countless equipment transport vehicles driving by.
Everyone watched as Huaxia Country gradually moved towards prosperity and peace and prosperity of the country.
Everyone grew even more excited for today's ceremony.
The scene cut.
As the appointed time arrived, the camera shifted from the studio to the exterior view of Tianmen Square.
Three days ago, Tianmen Square began clearing all surrounding facilities.
Road closures and inspections were conducted to ensure that the surrounding area would not be affected by external factors when the ceremony began.
On the left side of the square at this moment, the national flag guard stood at the very front of a long, dragon-like procession. Following closely behind were the three-service honor guard, the army, air force, navy, and various military formations.
Looking from afar, it was a dense mass, seemingly endless.
Yet, despite tens of thousands of people standing present, the entire venue remained completely silent, not a sound to be heard!
The morning light pierced through the clouds and shone down, reflecting dazzling golden light from the badges on their caps.
drone aerial footage covered almost all scenes within tens of kilometers of the site, both on the ground and in the sky, ensuring that no matter when or where the director switched cameras, the scene could be seen perfectly.
And the staff responsible for this live broadcast were also meticulously trained and selected.
After all, the ceremony lasts for a long time, and ordinary people would not have the stamina and energy to endure for so long.
This August 1st Tianmen large-scale ceremony was divided into four stages.
The first stage was the flag-raising ceremony.
Previously, the flag-raising time at Tianmen Square was in the early morning.
However, today, for the ceremony, it was specially changed to before the official start of the ceremony.
As explained by the on-site commentator, the flag guard, under the gaze of the entire audience, stepped onto the flag-raising platform with crisp, powerful steps.
This guard team is a special existence.
They set off from the monument, undergoing two formation changes and four pace changes, finally arriving at the base of the flagpole in Tianmen Square!
Throughout this process, there was no musical accompaniment whatsoever!
Only the whistling wind and the powerful steps beneath their feet!
One minute later, the flag bearers arrived directly beneath the flagpole. They stood tall and straight like sharp swords piercing through the clouds, their chests out and heads held high in the gentle breeze.
The vivid red color fluttered in the wind, and the waving flag rippled like the rolling wheels of history in a long river, never to return.
As the melodious music played, the flag slowly rose.
The second stage of the entire large-scale ceremony was the salute cannon segment.
Each cannon was manned by three gunners, who each adopted a five-step approach to the cannon, kneeling forward simultaneously. All procedures were blind-drawn and blind-sent, executed in one smooth motion!
The cannons boomed, like a grand bell ringing in the curtain of the ceremony, simultaneously representing the hardship and difficulty Huaxia Country has endured along its journey!
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—
The deafening roar of the salute cannons reverberated for a long time, like a sudden clap of thunder!
It heralded a new chapter for New Huaxia and officially commenced this large-scale ceremony.
The salute cannons concluded.
On the city wall, the Host then immediately began the third segment!
This was also the concise segment of the entire ceremony.
In this segment, special vehicles would drive along the main avenue of Tianmen Square, beginning an interactive inspection with the neatly arranged formations.
The duration was approximately fifteen minutes.
This segment was also the most exhilarating time for every soldier present.
Commands and interactions echoed in the middle of the square.
Not only for the soldiers on site, but even the audience in front of their televisions felt a tingling sensation on their scalps and a surge of hot blood throughout their bodies!
