In fact, all megacities face a serious problem, that is, the problem of traffic congestion, not to mention that in the era of horse-drawn carriages, the transportation provided by livestock is undoubtedly inefficient and chaotic.

Since the population of London exceeded one million, severe traffic congestion has become an incurable disease.

Every day, all the main streets of London are bustling with busy scenes, mule carts pulling goods, delicate horse-drawn carriages, brisk-walking pedestrians, leisurely gentlemen and ladies...... And, of course, there is a growing number of police officers who maintain order.

Traffic laws have long been formulated, but it seems that it is difficult for pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages to strictly follow the traffic rules, and from time to time there are accidents such as horse collisions or truck overturns, and friction and conflicts between horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians are also very frequent.

Every sudden event causes a large blockage of blood vessels in the city, and people can often see half or even an entire street congested.

In the past 200 years, London's population has been in a serious net inflow and net growth, from hundreds of thousands of people all the way to more than one million, until now three million.

There is never an end to the contradictions, and the pace of the government to resolve the contradictions has not stopped, just one year, two years, ten years and twenty years of hard work, the UK has accumulated countless management and organization experience, as well as countless executive talents.

The groundbreaking system of the Underground Railroad was invented by the British, who knew that relying on livestock could not bring about an improvement in order, and that the railroad was good but also inadequate.

First of all, the railway must take up a lot of space to build tracks and platforms, and there must be security cards at the crossings of railways and other roads, which is obviously unrealistic in the city of London, where land is at a premium.

Since it was not feasible on the ground, it had to look underground, and after a siege of scepticism and opposition, the London government finally opened an underground railway in 1863, which was only six kilometers long.

There is no doubt that the railway quickly became the lifeline of London's transport, with more than 40,000 Londoners riding on its first day.

By now, the metro has doubled its distance, with a train passing every ten minutes, transporting no less than 100,000 passengers every day.

On weekdays, every subway station here is an extremely busy transportation hub, and today's arrival of the Oriental delegation has artificially created a rare traffic peak.

By six o'clock, the subway station had been paralyzed, and four times as many passengers as usual had poured in, and the London police had a very strong ability to bear it at the moment.

The police used their bodies to form a thin cordon, and the crowd would bump into it from time to time, and each time the cordon would almost collapse.

Hats were gone, boots were broken, shirts and ties were squeezed off, police uniforms were wrinkled, sirens calling for support were everywhere, and the air smelled of sweat.

Everyone knows that this will not work, there are more and more people crowded, and just putting that opening more than one meter wide can't leak out so many people.

"Let's open the opening a little wider, right? There is another group of citizens on the street corner, and we can't stand it......" The young policemen on the front line can no longer hold on.

However, the old policeman at the entrance of the subway resolutely denied his request: "No!

Experience is always bloody, and these experienced old policemen have already raised their hearts to their throats, "Ask for help, ask the director for help...... Give us more men!"

"For today's plan, the only way is for us to hold on, withstand the pressure of the citizens, and drag the incident to leak out this group of crowded knots little by little...... If you suddenly open your mouth, let alone trample on it, there is not enough space underground for them, and the carriage is not enough to carry them......"

The telegram calling for help flew along the lines in the underground to Tower Bridge in an instant, and the anxious police commissioner's tired eyes were black, and the skin on his lips burst open.

"Support? Where can I go to support him? The whole of London is in chaos, and the flow of people is pouring here, and I don't have enough manpower......

The Commissioner of Police was right, the map of London on the wall in front of him was now filled with countless small flags, and the closer he got to the street where the ceremony was centered, the more small flags were planted.

Not only was the subway overwhelmed, but almost every street leading to the ceremonial venue was overwhelmed, and the carriages were completely overwhelmed by the waves, and you couldn't move on the streets except on foot.

"Sir, call for help from the army...... Didn't the Prime Minister station tens of thousands of troops outside the city? Let the army come to our aid......"

"Damn, I'll have to beg them in the end...... That's it, immediately ask the Prime Minister for help, ask the army to come in and coordinate order, especially the cavalry, we need the cavalry to separate the flow of people......"

The subordinates put on their hats and pulled their legs and ran out, wanting to mobilize more than 10,000 soldiers to help, but now they can only beg the prime minister.

Benjamin was waiting for Emperor Tongzhi and the Führer at the dock on the north bank of the Thames River under the Tower Bridge, and was surprised to hear the police chief's plea for help.

"Is it like this? It's only half past six, how can there be so many people, this is completely different from our previous speculation?"

"Prime Minister, that's the case, there is no way to do it now except to let the army's cavalry enter the city to maintain order, please give the order!"

Tower Bridge in London was the first battle of the whole welcome ceremony, and it was all government officials present, Prime Minister Benjamin with his cabinet colleagues and parliamentary representatives waiting for the legation here, and the royal welcome venue in the back.

Benjamin's old rival Gladstone touched his beard and laughed mockingly, "Can't you judge this thing? Can't even do a welcome ceremony?"

"Look at your plan, and the welcoming ceremony of 200,000 people? Ridiculous, really ridiculous, I guess you have never analyzed the reports of the Oriental Chinese, right? You still use the old experience of the past to analyze the problem......

"After nearly half a year of in-depth reporting, Chinese has piqued the interest of all Europeans, and everyone is full of curiosity about the Far East......"

"200,000? Haha, my staff judged that the number of people attending this welcoming ceremony would definitely exceed 400,000!"

With a bang, the surrounding officials all turned their heads and ears, and many people's eyes lit up, and Gladstone's cannon fired at Benjamin again, and it seemed that today's play must be very exciting.
