The ceremony continued, with all the civilians excitedly watching the passing new weapons.
Of course, men and women often focused on different things.
Most male civilians were gesturing excitedly towards the modern firearms, tanks, and aircraft, engaging in avid discussion.
For female civilians, their attention was naturally drawn to the soldiers — resplendent in new uniforms, full of vigor, standing tall, and oozing a strong sense of security.
Nevertheless, despite their different interests, the purpose of the parade was fulfilled.
Just as the parade was reaching its conclusion and the host was announcing the end, Luo Jin rose and took to the rostrum to speak.
"Fellow citizens of the Neutral United Front,"
"We have lived through years since the apocalypse. With everyone's concerted effort, we have finally reestablished our homeland today."
"During this process, many have sacrificed their lives. But we will not forget them."
