Chapter 1604 Boiling Old South Church
When he walked past the first row of seats in the man's guest area, the grandparents and parents sitting here all stood up, and Ye Tian immediately stopped
Grandpa turned his head to look at the door of the church, and then said to Ye Tian:
"Xiaotian, it's so noisy outside, isn't the Pope and the President of the United States coming?"
Ye Tian nodded lightly, smiled and whispered:
"That's right, it's the Pope and the President of the United States who have arrived, and their motorcade has entered Boiston Street, and in the blink of an eye it is at the entrance of the church, and I am about to go out to meet them"
"These two are heavyweights, since we came to your wedding with Betty, then we can't be rude, let's go out to meet these two together"
With that, Grandpa prepared to step out and take Grandma and Mom and Dad to the door of the church.
However, Ye Tian stretched out his hand to stop the old man.
"Grandparents, don't go to the door of the church, just wait here, I'll just go with my parents and my parents, there must be a lot of people gathered at the door of the church, and it's a little messy.
Besides, after the two arrived, they would definitely have to interact with the crowd of onlookers outside and many media reporters, and even a few words would take a lot of time.
And I don't want my family to appear too much in front of the cameras of media reporters, that will have a certain impact on everyone, in view of this, I let you sit here."
Hearing this, Grandpa thought for a moment and then nodded and said:
"Since you kid said so, well, your grandmother and I will sit here, and when the two of you enter the church, you will introduce us to each other."
"Come on, you two elders are resting here, let's go out"
Ye Tian nodded in response, and then walked towards the door of the Old South Church with his parents and parents.
At this time, many wedding guests who had already arrived at the church and sat down in the guest area all stood up and turned to look at the door of the church, everyone was very excited and full of anticipation
Fortunately, everyone was dressed in costumes and relatively well-educated, and they did not rush to the door of the church to go out to see the excitement and greet the Pope, the President of the United States, and the First Lady
Perhaps these people would like to do that too, but given their status, as well as their public image and demeanor, they have to be a little reserved and can only stand still and watch.
On the way to the door of the church, Ye Tian walked forward and kept greeting the wedding guests on both sides of the main passage.
There are his own family and friends, business associates, acquaintances, company employees, etc., as well as Betty's relatives and friends, as well as Matthew and Evelyn's relatives, neighbors, colleagues, etc.
When he walked to the middle of the passage, he saw Johnny Depp and other superstars standing in the man's guest area, and waved hello to them.
Then he saw Bowie's boy, as well as a few other friends he had met while working on Wall Street and had a pretty good relationship
The fellows were seated together, and knew each other, and they were all excited, and like everyone else, they turned to look at the church door.
When he saw Bowie, Ye Tian didn't wave to greet him, just nodded lightly with a smile on his face, and then continued to move forward
Bowie did the same, just smiled and nodded, even if it was a greeting.
At this time, there were a lot of colleagues in the church who came from the field of antique art collecting, and if they were too familiar with Bowie, it was likely to arouse the curiosity and suspicion of some guys, which was not good
While speaking, Ye Tian and his parents had already come to the door of the church.
Before they could go out, the cheers outside and the whistling of the helicopter engines reached their ears through the church gates.
When they walked out of the church gate, a completely boiling scene near the old south church immediately met their eyes
Compared to before, the security level outside the church has been raised a lot.
Over the church, a helicopter from the Secret Service and two Boston Police police helicopters were hovering at different altitudes, closely monitoring the situation on the ground.
On the periphery of the cordon on several streets around the church, a large number of heavily armed Boston police officers have been added, and these guys are both excited and nervous, keeping a close eye on the situation around them, ready to respond
The number of plainclothes agents hiding in the crowd also increased at this time, some from the Secret Service and some from the famous Vatican Swiss Guard.
The situation was the same inside the cordon, with many taller and more sturdy agents, also from the Secret Service and the Swiss Guard in the Vatican
The crowd of onlookers who had gathered outside the cordon, as well as the large number of media reporters, were in high spirits, cheering and looking forward to Boiston Street.
The presidential motorcade had not yet reached the entrance of the Old South Church, but the roar of the engines of the heavy motorcycle team on the road had already been heard by the wind and into the ears of everyone in front of the church.
Obviously, the presidential motorcade will arrive soon, that is, in the blink of an eye.
After walking out of the old South Church and standing at the door of the church, Ye Tian immediately secretly turned on the perspective and completely scanned the situation around the church as quickly as possible.
As far as the eye could see, all the situations around the old South Church were instantly seen by him, and he saw it clearly and clearly
Needless to say, the many security personnel, Secret Service agents, and members of the Vatican's Swiss Guard have been vetted and investigated, and there is no doubt about their identity.
Although they are all armed with powerful firearms, they do not pose any threat to the safety of the Pope and the President of the United States, but are a powerful security force
Many of the Boston police officers who are on duty outside the cordon and responsible for maintaining order on the scene are also vetted and reliable, and there is no need to worry about what trouble they will cause
Ye Tian's gaze quickly swept over these guys, and after making sure that there was no problem, he looked at the crowd of onlookers gathered outside the cordon, as well as the many media reporters at the scene
In the midst of the crowd of onlookers and media reporters, he did spot a few guys with guns hidden under their coats, mixed in the crowd, not much different from the people around them
However, these guys are either security personnel under their own command or agents of the Secret Service and the Swiss Guard, so naturally there is no threat.
After making sure that there were no hidden gunmen in the crowd, Ye Tian quickly shifted his gaze and looked at the buildings of different styles and heights around the old South Church
All the buildings within a radius of one hundred and twenty meters were all seen through by him, and he did not let go of a single corner
Inside and on the rooftops of several of the buildings, he spotted several sniper teams, one from the Boston Police and the Secret Service, condescendingly controlling the area outside the Old South Church.
Aside from the sniper teams, he didn't find any other gunmen.
In other words, there is no need to worry about a string of hot bullets coming out of those buildings and going straight to the Pope and the President of the United States, and the First Lady
It took less than ten seconds for Ye Tian to completely grasp the situation around the Old South Church, and he was also a lot more relieved.
After making sure that there was no lurking danger, he withdrew his gaze and ended the perspective.
Next, he nodded lightly at Matisse, who was in charge of on-site security, and then walked over to Jason with his parents and their location.
Jason, one of his best men and a greeting man, was standing on either side of the red carpet under the steps of the church with Anderson and Logan.
When Ye Tian and his parents walked down the steps and came to stand beside Jason, the presidential motorvoy happened to be driving along Boiston Street and into the square in front of the Old South Church.
With the arrival of the presidential motorcade, the atmosphere in the area of the Old South Church reached its peak in an instant.
"Bang Bang Bang"
The thunderous applause suddenly rang out, lasting for a long time and very warmly, resounding throughout the entire neighborhood and countless live broadcasts.
Accompanied by warm applause, there is also the endless sound of camera shutters, one after another, ringing into a one
At the same time, the nerves of all the security personnel and agents on the scene were also tensed to the extreme in an instant.
Especially those Secret Service agents, they were activated as soon as the presidential motorcade arrived, and they leaned towards the US president's car, Army One.
When they approached the convoy, they immediately followed the agents who were protecting the president and quickly set up a line of defense around Army One, staring vigilantly around.
The rest of the Secret Service agents and the members of the Swiss Guard of the Vatican quickly approached the Pope's car, and another Cadillac bulletproof luxury car set up a cordon around it
After the convoy stopped in the square in front of the old South Church and confirmed that the scene was safe, the relevant personnel stepped forward and opened the doors of Army No. 1 and the Cadillac bulletproof car behind it.
Immediately afterwards, His Holiness the Pope, the President of the United States, and the First Lady got out of the car one after another, landed on the square in front of the Old South Church, and appeared in front of everyone.
With the appearance of these people, the atmosphere near the old South Church suddenly reached its peak, like a volcanic eruption.
"Bang Bang Bang"
The applause became even louder, more than ten times louder than before, and everyone here applauded wildly.
Amidst the applause, there were countless excited shouts, all of which were voices in tribute to and greetings to the Pope
Whether it is the scene of the old South Church or countless live broadcasts, there are many devout believers praying in low voices, gently drawing crosses on their chests, and some people are even excited with tears
Unlike yesterday at Boston International Airport, except for Secret Service agents and members of the Swiss Guard, no one stepped forward to greet the Pope and the President of the United States, including Ye Tian
Because everyone knows very well in their hearts that this is a performance moment for the Pope and the President of the United States, and it is an excellent time for them to show their image of being close to the people, and they cannot step forward to steal the show
