Chapter 1996 Don’t Forget Your Original Heart (Part 1)

Guo Tailai's request was not granted.

As Guo Tailai said, offering incense is too feudal and superstitious, which should not be the case for our party, which insists on materialism. Therefore, the request to offer incense was denied, but was allowed to present a flower basket to the monument.

Guo Tailai started preparations early in the morning, to be precise, he started preparations when it was still dark.

Guo Tailai was flattered that his superiors allowed Guo Tailai to offer a flower basket, and he must take it seriously today.

Most of the time, Guo Tailai likes casual clothes, which are more comfortable to wear, but this time, Guo Tailai changed into a dress carefully designed by Chu Fei. It is a Chinese tunic suit, which is very formal but also has a sense of design. It will not be rude even for the most solemn occasions.

The senior sister arranged Guo Tailai's clothes in person, and then sent him to the car and went straight to Tiananmen Square. The senior sister didn't go, she was still an active soldier, she was waiting at home with Mr. Zhao and Zhao Xiangbei.

Guo Tailai planned to present the flower basket after watching the flag raising first.

It was still early, and the entire Chang'an Avenue was deserted, only a few cleaners were cleaning here and there. Guo Tailai's car arrived smoothly without encountering any traffic jams along the way.

To Guo Tailai's surprise, the car did not stop at the side of the square, where parking is prohibited, but stopped at the gate of a compound. There were even armed police standing guard at the gate of the compound, standing straight.

Not knowing what the procedure is today, Guo Tailai completely obeyed the arrangement, got out of the car, and entered the door. The guards at the door checked the documents and carefully compared themselves, meticulously. After checking his documents, Guo Tailai had to pass through a security detection gate.

There was no problem when people passed by, but when a security guard brought a large box in the trunk to pass through the security gate, it caused a sharp siren.

Although it was early in the morning, the security check at the door reacted very quickly, and a dozen people came out in a hula. Two guards with guns also grabbed their guns and stared at this side. Fortunately, no one, including Guo Tailai, made any changes, and the soldiers who suddenly appeared did not take any further actions, nor did they attract more guns.

"Can you open the box?" The officer in charge of the security check asked Guo Tailai politely. Those who can come here in a fair manner are most likely not some gangsters, but the security check work must be serious and responsible, and the slightest negligence cannot be tolerated.

"Of course!" Guo Tailai nodded quickly.

This box was prepared by the senior sister, and the things inside were for Guo Tailai to comfort the heroic spirits when he presented the flower basket, not any contraband. There is a lot of metal inside, which triggers an alarm at the security gate. It is normal to check.

The box opens and there are individual flat packs, nothing else. The three guards in charge of inspection opened the boxes one by one, and then saw the contents inside.

Medal, medal instructions.

Medal, medal instructions.

Medal, medal instructions.

...

Inside all the little boxes are all these things. When inspecting the first one, the inspecting guard was still a little wary, but when the fifth one was inspected, his face was full of awe, and the officer next to him reached out to touch the holster of the pistol, and he also left his hand He put on the holster and took the initiative to help cover the checked boxes one by one. .

Responsibility, so every box must be checked, and after manual inspection, the machine will go through it again to make sure there are no other contraband inside. But the attitude of the guards has undergone a fundamental change.

When the last box was checked and the officer carefully covered it and put it back in the box, the officer gave a loud order: "Everyone is here, stand at attention! Salute!"

Every guard present stood at attention neatly and saluted Guo Tailai sincerely. There is a kind of fiery admiration and approval in the eyes of every soldier.

The salute of the guards made Guo Tailai feel warm in his heart. Guo Tailai was wearing casual clothes, smiling and bowing slightly to everyone as a return.

After passing through the security check, Guo Tailai discovered that it was the station of the National Flag Guard who came in. At this moment, the soldiers of the escort team are ready to go and prepare to raise the flag.

Here, Guo Tailai saw a big flower basket, which surprised Guo Tailai. The flower basket was actually carried by the national flag guards. This treatment made Guo Tailai almost excited. The box was also left here, and Guo Tailai did not know the specific arrangement, so he complied.

Under the guidance of a soldier, Guo Tailai walked to the square along the way. No way, parking is prohibited all the way, no one is an exception.

When we arrived at the square, it was still dark. The flag-raising ceremony at Tiananmen Square is to ensure that the national flag is raised simultaneously with the sun, and it is not yet time to raise the flag. Today is not a major festival or anniversaries, not many people came to see the flag raising. But it’s not much, but it’s not too much. It’s already entered the summer tourist season. There are many people from all over the country who come to the capital for tourism, and many people will make a special trip to watch the flag-raising ceremony early in the morning. There will be a few people standing on the square. Two hundred people. Of course, hundreds of people standing in the huge square did not feel crowded at all.

Guo Tailai did not occupy the nearest place to watch the flag raising, he chose to stand between the flagpole and the monument, watching the flag raising ceremony from a distance.

The 36 soldiers of the national flag guards moved in unison and walked from the Jinshui Bridge outside Tiananmen to the flagpole. Today is not a 1 day (1st, 11th, 21st of each month), nor is it a major festival, but the armed police military band appeared on the the scene. In the sound of the national anthem played on the spot, the people watching the ceremony marched and saluted each other, sang the national anthem to the rhythm of the music, and watched the national flag rising and fluttering high.

To the surprise of those who participated in the flag-raising ceremony in the square today, after the national flag was raised and the national anthem was played, the soldiers of the national flag guard did not line up to return to Tiananmen Square, but walked to the Monument to the People's Heroes in neat steps.

Another group of soldiers came from Jinshui Bridge. The first two soldiers carried a flower basket, and the soldiers behind were lined up neatly. Each of them solemnly held a small flat box in their hands, as if accepting a review. , Goose step to the front of the monument.

Guo Tailai had already stood under the steps in front of the monument, and the soldiers carrying the flower baskets placed the flower baskets on the first platform of the monument in front of Guo Tailai. The soldiers holding the medal box stood neatly behind Guo Tailai, with a straight posture.

The people watching the flag raising didn't know what happened, but they all gathered around, looking at all this curiously.

The baton of the conductor of the military band was swung down, and the solemn melody of "Singing the Motherland" sounded. Guo Tailai also stood upright, looking at the solemn and solemn monument, and sang loudly along with the music, with tears in his eyes.
