While Lin Xuan was complaining about the system, the old man sitting beside him had been paying attention to his movements.
This old man was the butler of the Xia Country's royal family. He had served the Xia Country's royal family all his life. He could be said to be loyal and conscientious.
The old man was over fifty years old, and his hair was white. However, the tailor-made tuxedo made him look energetic, like a wise and resourceful star.
The old man's name was Han Deqin, a very old-fashioned name. The heroic colonel sitting in the driver's seat in front was the old man's son, Han Yaowu, who was now Lin Xuan's chief of guards.
Seeing that Lin Xuan was lost in his thoughts, Han Deqin lowered his head to look at his watch and coughed lightly to remind him,""Your Highness, the coronation ceremony is about to begin. Do you need to tidy up your clothes?”
Han Deqin's voice brought Lin Xuan back to his senses. He raised his head and looked at the mirror in front of him. In the mirror, he had short black hair, very handsome facial features, and fair skin.
He was wearing a marshal's suit with golden patterns embroidered on it. The five pure gold stars on the epaulets shone brightly under the sun.
Looking at himself like this, Lin Xuan felt quite helpless. He was still too young. He was only 22 years old, and the more he looked, the more he looked like a pretty boy!
According to tradition, the heir to the throne of Xia Country had to have long hair, wear ancient clothes, and wear a beaded crown to ascend the throne.
Lin Xuan's grandfather had left too suddenly, and there were enemies eyeing him covetously. Furthermore, Lin Xuan was too young and did not have a heroic aura. Instead, he was refined.
Therefore, his grandfather, the king, left behind a posthumous edict for Lin Xuan to inherit the throne in his military uniform to show the outside world that Xia Country was not afraid of foreign enemies.
The army of Xia Country was directly led by the king. The king of Xia Country had the highest military rank in the army. Only the king had the right to wear five general stars on his shoulder.
After sizing himself up, Lin Xuan looked at Han Deqin and said,"
"Uncle Han, help me see if there's anything else that needs to be tidied up.”
Han Deqin looked at it attentively for a long time, and finally reached out to help Lin Xuan adjust his collar.
After that, Han Deqin comforted him,"
"Your Highness, you don't have to be nervous. After today, you will become the 13th King of Xia Country.”
"Although there are powerful enemies staring at us, the citizens will definitely be united and overcome the difficulties under your leadership.”
"Even if China might face a military attack from Amilijian, as long as you're still here, the citizens won't be afraid.”
Lin Xuan was deeply gratified by Han Deqin's words.
Xia Country had been established for hundreds of years. The reason why the royal family of Xia Country had not been replaced in the wave of liberation was very simple. Without the royal family, there would be no Xia Country today.
Although the royal family controlled many industries and had wealth that could rival a country, the wealth of the Xia Country's royal family was almost all taken from the people and used by the people.
Take the military expenditure for example. Last year, the Executive Yuan only allocated 58.5 billion dollars to the military, but the royal family gave 30.8 billion dollars in subsidies.
With the tens of billions of dollars in subsidies from the royal family, China's total military expenditure last year was 86.6 billion dollars, ranking third in the world.
In addition, the royal family often took out money to subsidize low-income citizens. One round would cost tens of thousands of dollars.
Of course, China was a highly developed country with an annual income per person that ranked among the top in the world. Only a small number of people needed the welfare subsidies issued by the government.
Therefore, the royal family of Xia Country had an extremely high reputation in the hearts of the citizens. It was a spiritual symbol.
rumble ~~
At this moment, the car engine roared. Lin Xuan's chief of security, Han Yaowu, started the car and drove steadily along the carpeted stone road to the National Plaza.
Dong ~ Dong ~ Dong ~
The distant and ancient bell rang from the tower of the National Square. The bell was transmitted through the loudspeaker and echoed throughout the National Square. Everyone could hear it.
For a moment, on both sides of the square, hundreds of thousands of citizens gathered here held their breaths, raised their hands, and waved the national flag, staring at the solemn convoy that was gradually approaching.
It could be seen that almost everyone's eyes were focused on the extended black sedan.
The prestigious old king had just passed away, and the three countries 'fleets were eyeing the high seas covetously, whether it was the Xia people present or the Xia people watching the live broadcast on their televisions and mobile phones.
On this day, every citizen of Xia Country had a heavy heart. They were reminiscing about the old king, but they were also worried about the future.
Although everyone was very familiar with the new king, they had watched him grow up on the news and watched him grow from a little kid to an outstanding young man.
However, their new king was only 22 years old and had just graduated from university a few months ago. Could the young king lead China through the difficulties and continue to be strong?
This was not because the Xia people were ununited, unpatriotic, or disrespectful of the royal family, but because the reality was right there.
No matter how talented you are, how outstanding your education is, how strong and experienced can you be at the age of 22?
Moreover, in the impression of the Xia people, the image of the king had always been very elegant, just like the modest gentleman depicted in the books. He was not as domineering as the old king.
It was said that it was easy to conquer a country, but difficult to defend it.
In that case, did the new king of Xia Country, who was known for his elegance and easy-going manner, have the courage and confidence to confront Amelia?
If the new king couldn't withstand the pressure and gave in to Ying-chan, the development of Xia Country would definitely go downhill and gradually decline.
However, if they were to go head-to-head with Amilijian, it was obvious that China had beaten them up before. It was really a dilemma!
……
At this moment, the news of Bei Xiong and Er Mao's military exchange had already sunk to the bottom of the sea, and not many people paid attention to it.
On the Internet of various countries, at least one billion people were watching the coronation ceremony on their televisions or mobile phones.
The royal family of Xia Country and the royal family of Eagle Country were the two most watched royal families in the world. Normally, no matter how much attention they received, it was impossible for a billion people to watch your coronation ceremony.
However, due to the conflict in Eastern Europe and the conflict in the Far East, coupled with the fact that the fleets of the three countries were anchored in the high seas to surround China, the new king of China was too young, only 22 years old.
Therefore, for various reasons, Lin Xuan's coronation ceremony attracted the attention of the whole world.
When Lin Xuan, who was dressed in military attire, got out of the car and walked slowly along the long steps to the ascension platform, the global Internet instantly boiled.
"Shuaka, China will definitely weaken. The new king of China will not be able to shoulder this heavy responsibility. Japan will be the future little tyrant of the Far East.”
"Ahxi Ba, you guys still want to be the little tyrant of the Far East? Do you think that Korea doesn't exist?”
"That Korean and Japanese guy, please sit down first. As a Chinese, did I say anything?”
"Eh? Why is King Lin wearing a military uniform? According to the tradition of China, shouldn't he wear the royal robe to participate in the coronation ceremony?”
"Two days ago, I saw on the news that the old king of Xia Country asked Lin Xuan to wear a military uniform to ascend the throne before he died.”
"One, two, three, four, five, five gold stars. Big shots, what rank is this?”
"I told you to study, but you insisted on stealing pigs. You don't understand now, do you? This was the highest military rank in Xia country. He could be called the commander of the three armies. Other than the current king of Xia country, no one else was qualified to carry five general stars on their shoulders.”
"God, why is the new king of Xia Country so young? Is he an adult?"
"Heh, this Western European netizen doesn't even know King Lin. Did your village just get online?”
" Huo Qubing was conferred the title of Marquis at the age of 18. Sun Quan took over Dongwu at the age of 19. Yue Fei recovered Suizhou at the age of 16. Gan Luo became a minister at the age of 12. Lin Xuan ascended to the throne at the age of 22. There is no harm without comparison. I am also 22 years old, but I'm working in the factory…"
"The royal family of Xia country is as rich as a country and monopolizes the military industry of Xia country. According to the calculations of forbes, the wealth of the royal family of Xia country is at least trillions. Moreover, King Lin is the only remaining direct descendant of the royal family of Xia country.”
"Something like that! In any case, the wealthy royal families of the Middle East were not much in front of the royal family of Xia country. The gap was huge.”
