Chapter 453 Opening of Parliament

Not only Mancini, but all politicians and people know that the future of the country lies in the royal family. Looking at the economic construction and investment of large enterprises these days, there is not a single item that does not have the shadow of the royal family, or their indirect influence. If you want to live better, you must rely on them.

In a special period, regime and kingship do not have to be clearly distinguished.

An Feng actually doesn’t want to care so much. He is lazy and just wants to live a comfortable life, but without a suitable designer, the ideal country is not easy to realize. In the first few years of national construction, some major policy decisions needed to be reviewed and cared for, plus appropriate reminders.

After the general election, the queen officially appoints the prime minister and the cabinet she proposes.

The more important ones in the cabinet are the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Justice, and the future Ministry of Defense. Other ministers are also nominated on the basis of the previous government, and the foundation is somewhat weak. Some ministers are even temporarily vacant and filled by others. Continue to expand.

The inauguration ceremony was held in the local palace. The scene was very serious and the content was very simple. The queen sat gracefully, and the officials of the parliament who came came up straight and read the appointed decrees aloud. The queen seemed to listen carefully, but every time she finished reading a decree, her answer was only the same: approval.

Although the royal family does not completely follow the traditional route, it still has to have the basic form.

After the appointment ceremony, the next arrangement is the opening ceremony of the parliament, scheduled for July 10th. The time is short, but the preparation time is still very tight. According to the designed route, the queen will take a carriage from the gate of the palace along the road to the former provincial parliament and now the temporary parliament building.

Many firsts in this country are worthy of attention.

So Joanna also prepared carefully and rehearsed at home. Butler Brandon and Ms. Roberts designed the entrance ceremony, the attitude of the queen, the position of the prince, the details in charge, and the carriage according to the layout in the parliament. travel time etc.

Before the parliamentary elections, preparations have already begun.

Important cavalry and carriages must be trained in advance, and it is impossible to rush in July. With so many people watching, if any accident happens, the queen will suffer any harm, and the country and the royal family will lose face. So start training at the end of May.

The good news is that the local equestrian culture is profound. Every year there is a horse racing festival, where traditional medieval duels are staged. There are also a lot of highly skilled people. Volunteers with the best temperament have been selected and they will be specially trained. Then they will guest star as the queen The royal cavalry leading the way.

…

Joanna is so busy that even the children know not to disturb her.

An Feng undertook the task of reception and took time to receive relatives and friends, including his parents and sister. They wanted to come to appreciate the Queen's grace, and secondly, to bring support. Other friends who were free because their children were on summer vacation also participated in this grand event. The scale of the opening of Parliament will be grand.

Friends have increased, and children have playmates, so they no longer pester An Feng.

Cousin Xiaoyu's arrival is very popular with the children, and now it's her turn to deal with Alice. Alice is nine years old this year. She is more mature in stature and intelligence, and is no longer as easy to fool as before. Fortunately, her cousin can always make her obedient and be a good example.

Among the expectations of the outside world, the tenth day of July ushered in. The street that the queen was going to pass was crowded with people, and there were dense crowds on both sides. Many people didn't go to work that day, so they came to the capital to watch the ceremony. Cagliari has a population of about 500,000, but there are at least 700,000 people in the city.

This has already accounted for half of the country's population, and the rest of the people are also guarding in front of the TV.

With the development of modern technology, live broadcasting is very easy. From the Queen's carriage to the gate of the Parliament, there are more than 600 meters of distance, but there are more than a dozen cameras. The surrounding area is also the most crowded.

Accompanied by An Feng, the carriage of the Queen of Sardinia appeared. At the front are two rows of sword-wielding cavalry. The horses march forward at a steady pace. Behind them is the royal carriage pulled by horses of one color. Four batches of horses head for their destination at a steady pace.

The coachmen were all dressed up grandly, and there were guards with swords at the rear of the car. The black crowd on both sides of the street cheered. The queen in the carriage looked out the window and raised her hand from time to time to greet her. Some passers-by were performing traditional etiquette, men bowed and nodded, women bowed their knees and saluted.

Reporters or tourists from abroad, seeing this scene, felt that the Queen's prestige is really extraordinary. It just made this country, which has been separated from the monarchy for many years, recall the set of etiquette of its ancestors. It seems fanatical, but the reason behind it is reasonable, so I have to accept it.

Even foreign tourists are saluting.

Half of these are affected by the emotions of the crowd, and the other half are out of gratitude to the Anshi couple. Perhaps their relatives were saved in the disaster last year. Now they come here in person to witness and send greetings and thanks , the scene is like going back in time.

Finally, the slow carriage arrived at the parliament building amidst cheers.

The car door was opened, and the queen in full costume got out of the car. The camera pans to her, in a gold-embroidered silk gown that falls just above the knee, without respecting tradition or transgressing boundaries. She is tall and has long legs, and the appropriate high heels show her unique charm.

In addition to the dress, she also had to wear the "imperial robe", which was light yellow in color, a little off-white, draped over her shoulders, and buckled in front of her chest. The yellow robe had a very long back and needed two attendants to help carry it. After she got down, she stood facing the camera for a few seconds, and suddenly she showed her kingly demeanor.

The cheers from the surrounding crowd exploded.

An Feng also stepped out of the carriage, and his attire was not too grand. The uniform was custom-made in England, with elements of the traditional royal family. It was a black-breasted uniform with epaulets, armbands and ribbons. He wore white gloves and shouted loudly after getting off the carriage. Without stopping, he was responsible for holding the queen's left hand.

The action of holding hands is a bit like inviting a lady to dance, but this time it is a serious entrance ceremony. The faces of the two people remain solemn, and they are escorted into the chamber by the guards. The House of Representatives was full of spectators, the sides were dark and dense, and the crowd was all dressed in suits.

Walked slowly through the aisle, came to the throne prepared at the front, turned around and sat down.

Other members of the Senate and House of Representatives and senior government officials also sat down in turn. The surrounding cameras were aimed at the stage, and some of them swept across the audience. The atmosphere was very grand. At the same time, an attendant was holding the newly formulated policy agenda and delivered it to the queen. She opened it and glanced at it.

The content is bilingually written in English and Italian, both of which have the same meaning. The Queen needs to read both at the same time. Naturally, there is no problem with English, but she does not understand the meaning of Italian. But it doesn't matter, whether it's French, Spanish, Italian or other similar languages, you can spell it out correctly without understanding the meaning at all, or even recite it with eloquence.

The queen began to read the government's policy policy.

Because it is a new country, there are many contents, mainly including economic construction, social welfare and education, energy and national defense construction. The content Joanna has practiced many times. She is proficient in both English and Italian, and she can frequently raise her head to face the audience.

The viewers in front of the TV are very concerned about the government's policy points.

This program represents the government's plan for the next two to three years. The construction of the country and the economy is the first priority to ensure stability and development. The welfare of the society is related to the people, and it is a measure to win the favor of voters. Among the remaining education issues, the reform is very important because it involves English education.

In economic policy, there is another important "currency". The currency issued by the central bank is the Sardinian dollar, which is issued according to the domestic economic situation. However, since the country has just been established, the value of the currency is based on gold and reliance on the euro. It will take some time to gradually stabilize the exchange rate.

In order to prevent some capitalists with malicious intentions, experts in the financial field of the consortium provided a lot of advice and help, and foreign capital is also actively buying government bonds. This game is led by An Feng and participated by the consortium, so they are very concerned about this matter. Things are concerned.

The energy issue has always been a national shortage. After the entry of Anshi Industry, the National Power Resources Company has been developing rapidly, so it is only aimed at ensuring the supply of electricity in the two years before the arrival of nuclear energy. The remaining national defense is naturally a matter of the army, and the queen has to grant powers.

After the reading, Joanna glanced across the audience and said loudly: "I hope my new government can bring new hope to the country, lead the people on the right path, keep up with the trend of world economic development, and create A bright future with sustainable development!"

There was applause at the scene, Joanna finished her speech, and the ceremony attendant around her announced the Queen's exit.

Following another grand exit ceremony, the audience stood up and watched as Joanna, accompanied by An Feng, left the parliament. For the rest of the time, the two houses will decide the time and content of the meeting, and the prime minister will also participate in the parliamentary decision-making... But None of this has anything to do with the Queen.

Leaving the parliament building, the carriage returned to the palace with a high profile under the lead of the royal cavalry.

Nearly half a month of practice preparation is for this short moment, the couple have worked hard, it's really not easy.

But judging by the reaction of the crowd, they were very successful.

On the way, the crowd was still sending them off warmly. Joanna, who was in a good mood in the carriage, also frequently waved to them in response. Many people saw her smile, which was brilliant from the heart, because Joanna had just arrived from Anfeng. From what I heard, her performance was exemplary.

The audience on the side of the road is also walking around, and the whistle comes.

On the way back in the car, An Feng said: "The coronation will be in four months, are you ready?"

"No problem." Joanna nodded and said, "You have to support me."

"I will be the first to pledge allegiance to you." An Feng said, "Your Majesty the Queen!"

Joanna is satisfied: "You've learned well!"

"You taught it yourself, isn't it alright?" An Feng smiled and put his arms around her, "Don't worry, with so many people supporting you, I predict that you will be as successful as today, use your own aura to control everything, and show your respect to everyone." The world declares that this is your people's greatest trust in you!"
