London, the greatest city of mankind in this era, has no one, only one.

Since 1850, London's population has reached 3 million, and has been rising ever since, reaching nearly 6 million by the 19th century.

This was simply unthinkable in those days, and with the level of technology and productivity in ancient times, as well as the government's management ability, a city with a population of one million was already the limit.

Every order of magnitude increase in the population from one million to one million or more poses a severe test to the ability of society to organize its various resources.

Society has to ensure that so many people have food, water, clothing, and housing...... There are also basic survival needs such as garbage disposal and wastewater discharge.

When the population is large, you must provide enough jobs and security and medical care, not to mention that medical care alone is already a curse in the Middle Ages.

When the population increases, natural infectious diseases will increase, and it will be impossible for megacities to fail to keep up with medical treatment.

What is comprehensive national strength, this is comprehensive national strength, when a country can maintain the smooth operation of such a super city, this strength is already proud.

In World War I and World War II, Britain's victory actually relied to a large extent on its own accumulated super organizational ability, especially in World War II, when the Nazi wolves in the Atlantic began to slaughter freighters without limit, when American aid had not yet arrived.

For countless days and nights, Britain relied on its strongest organizational ability to coordinate the distribution of materials for all its citizens, reshape the social order, and did not cause a little chaos.

This is the soft power of a country, which is ignored by many politicians, without this soft power, a civilization will lack resilience, and when the war drags on for a very long time, countries with strong organizational skills can always laugh at the end.

Today, however, the organisational capacity of the entire London City Council has been unusually challenged, and the city has been in turmoil since yesterday, and the police officers of all London can smell it.

This was not a precursor to unrest, nor was it a fermentation of a conspiracy, it was all just because of the arrival of the envoys from the East, and under the constant propaganda bombardment of the Chinese series, the curiosity of the British people was detonated to the extreme.

Half a month ago, London's hotels and hostels began to continue to inhabit guests, and only in and out, and by ten days ago, there was not a single empty room in all the hotels and hostels in London.

Everywhere there are rich and idle European aristocrats, capitalists, and giant businessmen...... They will never miss such a major historical event, and there are even wealthy people in the United States who take a cruise across the Atlantic to see the excitement.

God knows if they are spies or ordinary spectators.

Not only are the big names in Europe and North America making the move, but countless middle-class people with better economic conditions are also starting to flock to London.

Especially the people in other cities in the British Isles, they can't book hotels and guesthouses all over the city to choose homestays, and countless local London citizens have made a lot of money by renting out idle houses in half a month.

How many people hope that the Chinese envoys will not leave at all, and they will die if they stay in London for a long time.

In order to ensure the safety of this diplomatic event, all visitors in the city have to be registered, especially the guests from France and Tsarist Russia are potential dangerous elements, and even plainclothes from Scotland Yard are constantly watching.

The Commissioner of Metropolitan Police mobilized more than 30,000 police officers from all over the city, and that was not enough, and another 20,000 were mobilized from other cities.

The concentration of 50,000 elite police officers in London has greatly improved public order, and the number of police patrolling the streets every day has doubled compared to usual.

Not only that, Prime Minister Benjamin also ordered the War Department and the Admiralty to mobilize a part of the emergency forces to be stationed on the edge of the city, whether they are used or not, the necessary preparations must be available.

Benjamin really wants these Chinese to die, but absolutely not in London, in England!

All the preparations are for today, and the National Police Agency finally counted that the number of foreign guests who came to watch the ceremony alone was close to 100,000, and such a diplomatic prosperity is really a once-in-a-lifetime event, so the people of London will also go to see the excitement.

According to preliminary estimates, more than 300,000 people will crowd on both sides of the street where Emperor Tongzhi and Xiao Letian traveled during the welcoming ceremony.

Otherwise, these 300,000 people watching the excitement can't fit it at all!

The chaos reached its peak today, with the Chief of Police stationed at Tower Bridge in London sleeping all night, the police of the entire city passing orders back and forth on fast horses, and even the army setting up several telegraph lines here on an improvised basis.

"Hurry! Hurry...... More than 3,000 people suddenly poured out of Paddington, and we didn't have enough police to call for support......"

"Waterloo Bridge is overcrowded, and people have already fallen into the water...... Request support, request support!"

"In the West End, there is a crowd on 12 streets, and we are evacuating ......"

"It's beyond imagination, it's more than we expected......

Urgent calls for help were gathered in Tower Bridge, and the Commissioner of Police was in a room inside Tower Bridge, and from the window he could see the pier and the beautiful welcome ceremony venue, all the flowers were in place.

The head of the police department, who was sweating in a hurry, shouted, "What about the subway? Is the subway safe? God, it's okay that the streets are a little crowded, at least no one will die, and the subway must not have an accident, it will trample on the ...... of the dead."

The London Underground was the first underground station in human history, and it was also a transportation hub that had to be built as the city of London continued to expand.

In 1863, the Metropolitan Line was opened to traffic, which was the first subway of mankind, and it was also the pride of the British Industrial Revolution.

The Inspector General's concern is justified, the Metropolitan Line is now overcrowded, and all the entrance three layers of police force are unable to cope with the surging crowds.

"Stand back...... Everyone stand back...... Get off the subway one by one!"

"My hat, my hat fell off ......"

"Child, you squeezed my child's hand......"

"God, you shit, do the people's taxes feed you idiots?"

The crowded subway entrance was full of people, and the police blocked the entrance and exit with their bodies, leaving a small gap for the crowd to enter slowly, knowing that once the opening was opened, the people would rush in, and there would be a trampling disaster.

"Gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen...... Please don't crowd, it's too dangerous, you all rush in at once, and the subway can't fit so many of you!"

"Please stand back...... Please stand back...... Oh God, who kicked? Hurt me...... Damn it!"
