Chapter 436: The London Conference
Prosperity seems to be the only synonym for London since the beginning of modern history. Because this is the first word that comes to mind when everyone who comes here sees the endless convoys and bustling crowds on the street for the first time. Even in 2018, when Andrew traveled back then, London and New York were still the only two megacities in the world. Of course, cities such as the Imperial Capital and Dubai are catching up.
However, not everyone can see what lies beneath the prosperity.
Chaos seems to be two sides of the same coin. In London, the word chaos is no longer a mere pejorative term, and it seems to represent a top-down order here. Leaving aside the east-west divisions of Greater London, the immigration areas of various ethnic groups, government police stations, businessmen and bosses, ordinary people, juvenile gangsters, and illegal immigrants outside the Greater London District seem to be suppressed at various levels, and they are intertwined. The whole London Beach has become such a stage of competition, struggle, cooperation, and betrayal by all parties. Of course, all this chaos was suppressed to a degree that was probably invisible to the common people, maintaining the last glory of the British Empire.
It's just that now this glory seems to be passing away with the arrival of the dark elves. Of course, this is not something that normal people can experience, they are just amazed by the strange weather conditions in their reign.
Buckingham Palace, the most famous royal residence on earth, is endowed with enough mystery and curiosity by most people in the world, although it is also open to the public for a specific period of time, but most of the time, it is also intimidated by the uniformed soldiers standing guard outside with guns! So apart from the open hours, Buckingham Palace is very quiet most of the time.
However, it is not the tourist season for Kintaro, and this world-famous imperial palace has a series of high-end cars with flags of various countries. Coming down from above were some neatly dressed, serious faces, and hurried people. They seemed to know each other, but although they didn't say hello, they walked briskly towards the mansion. After a while, more than a dozen cars turned into the street, and this time the people who got out of the cars were all white-faced people with cold faces, wearing the same black suits. They nodded to each other and said hello, and walked in one after another.
At this point, the doors of Buckingham Palace were left open for a while, and once again firmly closed. The soldiers guarding inside and outside the gate doubled their numbers and returned to their original positions. The guards on the outside alone are so tight, and the importance of the meeting of the people inside is self-evident.
In the large conference room on the third floor of Buckingham Palace, more than 30 people sat around the conference table. Everyone has a thick stack of materials in front of them, which makes people dizzy to look at. None of the people here, however, were impatient, and all of them looked at the information in front of them, and then nervously, carefully and quickly flipped through them.
The man sitting on the left above wore an eye patch on his head, and although the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, as if he was smiling, there was an indescribable oppressive aura between his eyebrows. At the same time, his black skin made him feel a burst of ridicule even if he laughed. But everyone sitting knew him, and they didn't say anything. What's more, all the people who came here were human spirits, even if the black bald head in front of them was really laughing mockingly, they wouldn't say anything. After all, the person in front of him is the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Ahem!" The man in the suit who was sitting in the main seat coughed lightly, and after attracting the attention of everyone present, he looked at Fury, and then at Andrew, who seemed to be bored next to Fury, and then said: "First of all, thank you all for coming to London, but let's discuss the current crisis situation together!" The important responsibilities present all nodded lightly, which was regarded as a response to the etiquette of the man in the suit.
"Time doesn't wait for me, so skip the greetings. The current form is so tight that there is no time for us to get these superficial things on the surface. The man in the suit reached back, and the seated officer on the left quickly placed a document in his hand. The man in the suit raised it and shook it slightly, and said, "The minutes of the meeting have been handed over to your confidential officers just now. Now let's get straight to the point! ”
Everyone didn't speak, although they were a little disgusted by his ink, but they also knew that this was the rule on their side. The older the country, the more things to do, and even in the most urgent moments, it has to maintain that ridiculous style.
"Everybody can sit here. I believe they all understand the seriousness of the matter now. That's right, it's aliens. The man in the suit tapped lightly on the table, and a satellite observation image immediately appeared on the screen behind him on the other side. The man in the suit stretched out his hand and said, "Now the red marks on this map are all areas of spatial magnetic field disorder that have been sensed by our MI6 technicians. Thanks to the alien invasion in New York and the various visitors from the dimension, our technology for space magnetic field fluctuations has been greatly improved. He opened his mouth and laughed.
Everyone didn't take the joke seriously, but their eyelids jumped, and their expressions began to become serious, and the original meeting minutes did not record anything important. But now that the observation images are seen, everyone present understands the urgency of the matter.
may also know that his joke failed, so the man in the suit changed his face and said with a heavy face: "Judging from the observation data of our technical department, although the brunt is London, the coverage of space fluctuations will be the entire earth." Don't think you're joking, this figure is a conservative figure that we have gathered from all sides and calculated by military experts by 10 percent! ”
"It can't be! The earth is round! ”
"It's all aliens, what's impossible!"
Hearing the words of the man in the suit, there was a chatter and discussion at the scene, but then, there was silence. These people are all people who have been in the army, and tens of thousands of people have really not been seen rarely. Hundreds of thousands of centaurs have not seen anything in the sporadic battlefields, and even Fury has experienced the alien war in New York. But the forces that cover the entire earth, they really haven't imagined.
"I believe everyone knows very well what this means." The man in the suit said lightly: "Now the situation is very clear!" In the face of this situation, our forces in the world cannot be said to be to the point of life and death, but it can be regarded as relatively urgent. So for now, we want everyone to join forces and work together to find a solution. ”
After a pause, he looked at Andrew, who had been in the shape of a silent lamb, and said.
"Or the gentleman from the Hunters' Guild, who can give us a better way!"
