C2120 Boiling London 2 (2/2)
Experience is always a bloody thing. These experienced old policemen had their hearts in their throats. ”Request for help, ask for help from the head of the department …” ”Send more people to help us!”
”Now, the only way is for us to hold on and withstand the pressure from the citizens. We'll drag this event down and let this crowd of bulges leak out bit by bit … ”If they suddenly let go of this opening, not to mention trampling, the underground space won't be enough to hold them, and the carriage won't be enough to carry them …”
The emergency telegram flew along the line inside the underground rail to Tower Bridge. The exhausted Chief of Police was so tired that the rims of his eyes were completely black, and all the skin on his lips had completely split open.
”Support? Where can I give him support? ”The whole of London is in chaos. There are so many people gathering here, I don't have enough manpower …”
The Chief of Police was right, the London map in front of him was already filled with countless small flags. The closer he got to the central area of the ceremony, the more flags he had.
Not only was the subway overburdened, but almost every street leading to the ceremony place was overwhelmed. The carriages were completely flooded, and there was no way to move on the streets except by walking.
”Sir!” Ask the army for help... Didn't the Prime Minister have tens of thousands of troops stationed outside the city? Let the army come to our aid... ”
”Dammit, I still have to beg them in the end …” ”Let's do it this way, immediately ask the Prime Minister for reinforcements, request for the army to come in and coordinate the order, especially the cavalry, we need the cavalry to split up the crowd …”
The subordinate put on his hat and ran out. If he wanted to mobilize more than ten thousand soldiers for assistance, he could only ask the Prime Minister to go now.
At this moment, Benjamin was below tower bridge, standing on the pier at the north side of Thames River, waiting for the head of the family.
”Is it so messy? It's only six-thirty, how could there be so many people, this is completely different from what we had predicted? ”
”Prime Minister, that's the truth. Now, other than letting the army cavalry soldiers enter the city to maintain order, there is no other way. Please give the order!”
The Tower Bridge was the first battle of the entire welcoming ceremony, and all of the government personnel were present. Prime Minister Benjamin, along with his cabinet colleagues and representatives from the parliament, were waiting here for the envoys, while the Imperial Family's welcome area was behind them.
Benjamin's old rival, Gladstone stroked his beard and laughed sarcastically, ”You can't even make such a decision? You can't even go through a welcoming ceremony? ”
”Look at your plans, there's even a welcoming ceremony for 200,000 people? Ridiculous, truly laughable. I guess you all have never analyzed the Eastern Chinese reporting before, right? ”You should still use your past experience to analyze things …”
”The Chinese have captured the interest of all Europeans by reporting on the depth of the past six months. Everyone is very curious about the distant East …”
”Two hundred thousand?” Haha, my advisors judge that the number of citizens participating in this welcoming ceremony will definitely exceed four hundred thousand! ”
Bang! The surrounding officials all started to whisper to each other, many of their eyes lit up. Ge Lasi's cannon was firing at Benjamin again, it seemed like today's show must be really exciting.
