Chapter 353 (1/2)
In February, the cold wind in London was biting, but the port was full of flowers and balloons.
On the fence of the port, there are still ribbons with the flag of country y flying on it.
People gathered around the harbor in the cold, looking in the direction of the dock, waiting for the launch of a luxury cruise named after her royal highness.
”Charlie, it's too grand.” When Queen Mary got down from the carriage, she saw the red carpet decorated with fireworks, and her face was a little surprised.
As a result of the great depression, the royal family has slashed its spending in the past two years for fear of losing the impression of extravagance and waste in the eyes of the public.
There was the independence of the United States before, and then the revolution of July overthrew the Bourbon Dynasty. No royal family dared to ignore the revolutionary forces.
The Windsor royal family does not want to be ”revolutionized,” which requires them to constantly compromise, balance the interests of all parties and maintain their rule.
Queen Mary's appearance now is as low-key as the common people, and the laying that can be reduced will be cancelled.
The jewels on her body are only with the simplest collocation. If not for a gold-plated royal carriage supporting the scene, the Queen's Royal Highness is about to cry.
”How can it be? This is a day worthy of commemoration and a common honor of the great y empire.”
In recent years, he has also learned from various aspects the competition among European countries on luxury cruise ships.
One by one, they competed in all aspects, from speed, displacement, length, luxury of interior, to service.
What we want to do is to be as lively as possible. Boring European people are also happy to take these as interesting things.
Whenever there is a luxury cruise ship launched in any country, the people will come to watch the ceremony, to celebrate, everywhere to publicize how strong their industrial base is.
Li Zitao is more happy to see this kind of scene. The more honors and titles the Queen Mary has won, the more curious people will be about its information.
It doesn't matter if you remember him. It's important that they remember the company it belongs to, CGT.
It will also let its parent company, Lee C. Astor industrial group, appear in the eyes of many enterprises and rich people.
In addition, her royal highness attended the launching ceremony in person, and the cruise ship was named after her name. How could he miss such a good publicity opportunity.
At the moment, on the wharf of the people of Y, there are reporters from the United States. The Los Angeles Times is the first to send out the best shooting team.
At 11 a.m., all the preparations are ready.
At the moment of fireworks, there are thousands of tons of grease covered log slide, the huge steel cruise like a moving Island, happy to fall into the sea.
”Oh --” the roar of cheering continued for a long time. Queen Mary came to the shore in person and boarded the ship, which was towed to the shore.
Reporters scrambled to follow, and the magnesium lights kept flashing, recording every moment.
At the moment, the interior of the cruise ship is still a little open, only the outline skeleton is completed, and then the interior decoration will last for three months to half a year.
This is the real play. Li Zitao has seen its interior decoration drawings.
Compared with the T6 under construction, which he named ”Princess Adelaide”, the cruise ship was one grade worse.
In this regard, Li Zitao only did not see that there are good things to be used to please his fiancee. The Queen's highness can live a good life here.
It's not his wife. If she wants luxury, she has to find her husband to pay for it.
Even if it's just a rough skeleton, tall hall pillars and so on, reporters do not miss any details.
Li Zitao and his fiancee, with three little guys, are also interested in watching.
I don't know if it's because the ship belongs to itself. I feel magnificent and luxurious everywhere.
After seeing her royal highness off, Queen Mary will be open to the public for three days to board.
