The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 551 Historic Moment

On this day, Chen Xingguo led the vanguard of the "Tiger Camp" to arrive at the Prince of Wales's military camp on time.

Prince of Wales Barracks is extremely special and can be said to be the core of the British garrison in Hong Kong. The Prince of Wales Building next to it is an iconic building located in Central, Hong Kong. It was completed in 1979 and is the headquarters of the British Army in Hong Kong.

It was also for this reason that, as the battalion commander of the "Tiger Battalion", Chen Xingguo personally led his team to the Prince of Wales Barracks to prepare to take over the Prince of Wales Barracks.

There is no doubt that this is an honor for him.

Chen Xingguo was very excited, thrilled and expectant.

There are already media reporters here, waiting here early.

At the same time, the Hong Kong-based navy, with the destroyer "Hong Kong" and the frigate "Hong Kong Island" as its core, also arrived at Victoria Harbor. The huge warships and the huge fleet stunned the Hong Kong citizens in Victoria Harbor, and then they were excited, thrilled and proud.

This scene was also broadcast live on television throughout Hong Kong and China.

Countless people across the Taiwan Straits and Hong Kong witnessed this scene, including Taiwan!

Just by looking at this naval fleet, you can feel the power of this naval fleet.

When the naval fleet stopped, naval officers and soldiers lined up on the deck, waiting for the historic moment.

On the live TV broadcast, guests were introducing the Hong Kong-based fleet.

In particular, they introduced that the large destroyer was named 'Hong Kong' and the frigate was named 'Hong Kong Island', which made people deeply feel the country's emphasis on Hong Kong and the motherland's deep love for Hong Kong.

The army's equipment and the elite mechanized brigade have made everyone feel that it is definitely a mighty and civilized army.

Today’s naval equipment, the new destroyers, new frigates, new missile boats, new torpedo boats and new missile boats, all make people feel that heart.

It can be said that no one can fail to feel that dedication.

At the same time, many people in the UK are watching the live broadcast.

If some British people were indignant about this before, after seeing all this, they could only feel grateful.

If they choose to do as they did in the Falklands War, the defeat they will suffer will be far greater than the Falklands War.

Just by watching, they felt they couldn't win!
For the Chinese people, seeing the powerful warships of their motherland makes them feel proud and honored.

Among them, the impact on Treasure Island was the greatest. At this moment, through the live broadcast, the powerful military strength of the motherland was vividly demonstrated. They suddenly realized that the motherland was completely different from what they had previously advertised. The Communist Party has rebuilt a piece of war ruins into a national paradise. The motherland is not backward, nor is it weak.

Maybe I am a little poorer now.

But you have to know that Taiwan was also very poor before.

As long as we work together and strive hard, we can build our motherland into a prosperous and strong country sooner or later.

At 6:30 on June 23, a British lieutenant colonel saluted Chen Xingguo and reported: "Colonel Chen Xingguo, the Welsh Barracks is now ready. Please take over. I wish you and your colleagues good luck and a smooth start. Sir, please allow me to let the Prince of Wales Barracks Guards be relieved."

Chen Xingguo said in a loud voice: "I am taking over the barracks on behalf of the Chinese People's Liberation Army stationed in Hong Kong. You can leave and we will take over. I wish you a safe journey."

After saying that, the two held hands together.

The British commander immediately ordered an evacuation, and at 23:59:55, the last British soldier walked out of the barracks. Almost in sync with the British evacuation, the flag guard marched towards the flagpole in a goose-step, preparing to raise the flag.

At the same time, in the auditorium of the Convention and Exhibition Center, the three-service guard of honor marched towards the flagpole in the center of the stage with firm, vigorous and powerful steps.

The Three-Service Guard of Honor represents the three armed forces of the People's Liberation Army and also represents the country. At this moment, they are carrying out the most numerous tasks since the Three-Service Guard of Honor was established.

July 7st, 1:.

In the auditorium, thousands of people stood up and saluted the national flag.

In military camps across Hong Kong, soldiers stationed in Hong Kong stood up straight, held their heads high and saluted the national flag.

Across Hong Kong, countless Hong Kong citizens watched the live broadcast and couldn't help but stand up.

All the TV audiences in China stood up excitedly and watched the red flag with the five-star bauhinia stamen representing the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the bright five-star red flag representing China rising slowly to the sound of the majestic national anthem. At this moment, countless people could not help but sing the national anthem together.

The national flag was not only raised in the Great Hall of the Convention and Exhibition Center, but also in 14 military camps across Hong Kong and on the Chinese Navy warships in Victoria Harbor, where the national flag was raised and the national anthem was played at the same time.

The Hong Kong garrison troops, which had finished lining up at the three ports, officially passed through the three ports. After the military band played "March of the Volunteers", the soldiers sang the national anthem together. The singing was so majestic that it attracted the spectators on both sides of the road to sing the national anthem as well.

On this day, even some people with ulterior motives would embroider the red flag and sing the national anthem all night long.

The troops moved forward along the main passage.

The diesel engines of tanks, self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, various self-propelled artillery, infantry fighting vehicles, etc. emitted a powerful horsepower roar.

That represents the power of China, the roar of the Chinese dragon.

Even at this time, it suddenly rained heavily, but the heavy rain failed to stop the pace of the Hong Kong Garrison, nor did it make the Hong Kong citizens who came to welcome the Hong Kong Garrison retreat. They still welcomed the troops in the rain.

This heavy rain seemed to wash away the mark of shame on China, and also seemed to wash away the mark of shame on Hong Kong.

The heavy rain is washing the Xiang River, making it clean and thorough.

This scene was broadcast live on television and reached thousands of households across China.

"This is the first garrison force in Hong Kong. It consists of a mechanized brigade, a naval task force and an aviation regiment. The mechanized brigade comes from our army's heroic unit, the 'Hu Ben Brigade'. The Hu Ben Brigade is a mechanized brigade established by our army. It was expanded on the basis of the 'Hu Ben Battalion' mechanized battalion. This unit performed outstandingly on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang, annihilated countless enemy troops, and made outstanding military exploits." The guest on the live TV broadcast was introducing the 'Hu Ben Brigade', which was advertised to the outside world as a mechanized brigade.

The military medals on the soldiers' chests tell everyone without a doubt that they are heroic soldiers and they are a heroic unit.

They fought bravely and won numerous honors, which earned them the honor of being allowed to serve as garrison troops in Hong Kong by the country.

The flag of the "Tiger Brigade" marching in the front, as well as the flags of each battalion and the company flags of each company, all show the uniqueness of this unit.

They walked along the main passage and then went to various military camps. They would spend the night in the new military camps. Tonight, a grand military parade would be held in the square to celebrate this special day of July 7st and the grand celebration of the whole of China.

But even during the night march, the image of a civilized and mighty army was displayed vividly and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The entire "Tiger Brigade" is armed with live ammunition. The previous TV live broadcast is enough to show that the "Tiger Brigade" is ready to fight at any time and deter anyone with ulterior motives.
