Chapter 766 On the viewing platform
There are three main situations where people can be invited to watch the military parade on site (of course, those who go directly to the tower must be excluded here, only those on the viewing platform are counted).
First, like Chang Haonan and Ding Gaoheng, they have reached their positions and are in the capital. They are still idle, so they have to go and take a look.
This kind actually accounts for only a small part.
Because the vast majority of people of sufficient level will be so busy that they hit the back of their heads on October 1st and have no time to attend.
The second one is the foreign representatives in China. It goes without saying that all of them will be invited, whether it is for the purpose of universal celebration, to demonstrate the majesty of a great country, or simply to show off.
However, the number of people is actually not that many.
Counting all countries, regions, and international organizations, there are only about 300 people, which together cannot make up to 1,000 people.
Most of them were invited as “outstanding representatives of all walks of life” like Yan Yongnian.
Including Chang Yuanchao and Zhou Li, this is also the case.
So, when the old couple first got in the car, they subconsciously thought that the other people in the car were in a similar situation to themselves.
"You can watch whatever you want on the stage later. Be honest here and don't cause trouble to Xiaonan!"
Chang Haonan and the three others were placed on the westernmost side of the east viewing platform.
From the position where you get off the car, you can even directly see several towering radars in the distance.
When several minibuses arrived at the ceremony site one after another, the sky was just getting bright.
But no matter what, being relatively in the middle is always a good thing.
That may just be the command vehicle of the Army's field air defense system.
Shorter equipment will not be visible.
But even so, Lao Chang still subconsciously stretched his neck to take a look over there.
Chang Haonan, who was sitting next to him, also noticed something strange about his old father, so he gave the latter a look to reassure him.
But the matter of pick-up and drop-off is obviously a recent issue of zoning.
Although they are not the ones in the front row, they are familiar to everyone on Xinwen Network...
And where Chang Haonan lives...
In Chang Haonan's impression, the 1999 military parade in the previous life did not seem to have any air force radars on display. He has dealt with a lot of electronic technology systems in his life, and he has never heard of any new models developed by them.
Lao Chang felt a little stiff for a moment.
In short, Comrade Lao Chang soon discovered that he seemed to have seen some of the faces in the car on TV.
In fact, if it were normal, these people would definitely have their own cars.
It's just that on the day of the National Day, in order to make room for the parade around Chang'an Avenue, ordinary leaders are definitely not qualified to use it.
As a result, Zhou Li pulled back this somewhat unsightly move:
However, the troops on the ground receiving the review, as well as the people responsible for the performances and celebrations on the scene, are already in place.
Actually, Chang Haonan didn't understand exactly what the arrangement was at the beginning.
As more and more people took their seats, he quickly recognized a few familiar faces in the crowd.
They are all model masters who have worked together before, or at least have a relationship with them.
There are also People's Liberation Army officers.
“I wish you all the best, long time no see. How is your work lately?”
This is Zhu Yusheng, the chief designer of the domestic third-generation main battle tank, whom Chang Haonan met when he was working on the die forging press at the Northern Vehicle Research Institute.
“Mr. Chang?”
Zhu Yusheng shook hands with Chang Haonan with his left hand:
“Thanks to you, the progress of the new tank is much smoother than expected. More than a dozen prototypes have been built. They will be organized into a separate formation to be reviewed today..."
“Commander Shen…”
This is when Chang Haonan went to the 4th HNA Division to test the JH-7, and the commander Shen Tao was driving the Y-8J there.
There should be one Y-8J and one Y-8X in their group today, but for some reason Shen Tao himself appeared on the ground.
“Mr. Chang…”
“Hey...forget it, I was on duty at the South China Sea Fleet during the selection of aircrews for training. When I got back from training, the day lilies were already cold..."
After the embankment building operation, the Chinese Air Force and Naval Air Force gradually increased the intensity of patrols in the South China Sea.
Although the Y-8J proved to have some flaws in that operation, at least it was not suitable for use against NATO and its allies, after all, the air time and sea detection capabilities were not bad, and the flight cost of the turboprop transport platform was relatively low. , very suitable for containing opponents in indirect confrontations.
“That's a pity indeed…”
Chang Haonan couldn't think of any good way to comfort the other party.
At Shen Tao's age, it is absolutely impossible to catch up in the next ten years.
“Deputy Commander Huang…”
Regiment Commander Huang Linqun, who was stationed at Jiangling Embankment two years ago, has now achieved the rank of senior colonel.
“Guo Gong...” It is naturally Guo Lin who has a deep cooperative relationship with Chang Haonan.
Of course there are some people who are beyond his expectation.
“Researcher Xu?”
Chang Haonan looked at Xu Yang behind him with shock on his face.
"I reported it from the Institute of Computing Technology, a representative from the scientific research community. How is it? Are you surprised?"
Xu Yang was dressed fashionably, took off the sunglasses on his face, raised his hands to block the sun, and then looked at Chang Yuanchao and Zhou Li next to Chang Haonan:
“These two should be…”
“Oh, it's my father and Jia Ci...”
Chang Haonan himself never expected that in less than four years, he would already have such a broad network of contacts.
Even before I had even finished greeting everyone I knew nearby, the orchestra across the street had already played the "Welcoming March."
This is the signal for the review chief and special guests to appear.
Sure enough, warm applause erupted from both sides of Chang'an Avenue.
Before this, Chang Haonan always thought that using thunder to describe applause was an exaggerated metaphor.
But this time, he realized that it could also be a normal description.
Even the sound of military music can be drowned out.
Of course, the main force of applause was the tens of thousands of ceremony staff opposite. Otherwise, these thousands of people on the viewing platform alone would not have been able to create such an exaggerated effect.
About two or three minutes later, an energetic voice sounded:
“The gathering of all walks of life in the capital to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China begins now!”
“Sound a salute!”
As the leader who presided over the ceremony on the city tower finished speaking, the enthusiasm instantly turned into silence.
The applause and military music all fell silent.
"boom-"
"boom-"
The salute of fifty guns was fired to pay tribute to the fifty years that the Republic has gone through.
At the same time, the national flag guard set out from both sides of the Monument to the People's Heroes, holding a five-star red flag and converging into a military-colored torrent, slowly walking along the rolled-out red carpet towards the flagpole standing on the square.
The eyes of everyone on the viewing platform and the tower were focused on them, the national flags in their hands, and the monument behind them.
History will never forget the sacrifices made by millions of Chinese heroes who fought for the independence and liberation of the nation.
“Pah—pah—”
The moment they crossed the dividing line, the guards changed their steps to goose-step, and the rhythm of the neat steps was clearly audible even in the sound of the salute.
Under the flagpole in the square, the 12 ranks of team members were divided into two again and re-arranged.
Three flag bearers fixed the national flag to the rope of the flagpole.

The rifle is tilted down from the shoulder and touches the ground.
At the same time, the 50th gun salute was fired, and the scene returned to silence.
“Everyone stands at attention!”
“Raise the national flag and sing the national anthem!”
Even Chang Haonan, who thought he was used to big scenes, felt his heart beat twice irregularly when he heard these words.
Chang Yuanchao, who was next to him, stood up even more.
"salute!"
A command was given not only to the PLA and Armed Police commanders and fighters present, but also to everyone—
The honor guard raised the rifle to his chest again.
Across Chang'an Street, a sea of golden flowers turned into the shape of the gold and red national emblem.
Young Pioneers put the five fingers of their right hands together and raised their heads high...
Following this, the conductor of the military band raised his baton again.
“Arise, you who do not want to be slaves…”
The sonorous and powerful national anthem resounded through the sky.
The five-star red flag rises slowly against the sun that has just emerged from the clouds!
