As time passed, it was already nearing nine in the morning. The atmosphere in City of London was getting weirder and weirder. Nearly half a million people had already rushed onto the streets. Under the command of the military police, they gathered around the ceremonies venue as well as on both sides of the street that connected them to the venue.
At the moment, it was already empty. The people closest to the venue and the streets already numbered close to one hundred and eighty thousand. Especially where the Tower Bridge was, the entire bridge was packed with people.
More citizens were destined not to be able to see the event, not even to hear its sound, but no one was in a hurry because there were countless Chinese posters flying around in these stationary streets, and every one of them was surrounded by people.

”Do not lose face, do not lose face for the Empire! ”Don't make the Chinese look down on us British Empire...”
”Dignity, Gentlemen, please protect the dignity of the Empire!”
At this moment, a wave of muffled cries of alarm came from the east side of the street. It was as if a gust of cold wind that was on the eve of a storm had suddenly swept over from the east on a hot summer's day.
”Fleet... There's a fleet coming... It's the Victory! ”
”I saw it, I saw that Steel battleship …”
At 9 in the morning, the envoys who had started shouting and cheering finally appeared at the outskirts of City of London, and the Tower Bridge was right in front of everyone.
”Whether it's a mule or a horse, pull it out today …” All of them! Stand at attention! Salute! ” Following the command given by the Zhiyuan Warship Gun Gunner Lin Zhen, the soldiers standing on both sides of the ship officially entered the city. .
The Victory s of Trafalgar were no exception. The British sailors who puffed their chests out of their stomachs and proudly raised their heads to the sky, saluting the Londoner.
At that moment, the entire Thames River was filled with the wail of the whistle of the wind. All the steamers present at the scene saluted the guests who were coming from the east.
At this time, the citizens of London had finally held up under the pressure of the British Empire. There was no crowding, no trampling, and no cheers from the people outside the city. There was only applause.
Over a hundred thousand people were applauding and cheering for the eastern diplomatic mission. The applause was like a rainstorm that was about to fall on a city, the heaven and earth were surging with noise and waves.
”Mighty!” What a mighty warship, is this the Zhiyuan Warship that made France and Russia suffer unspeakably? ”Mighty …”
”To be able to come up with such a novel battleship, these Chinese people must have had a …”
