Chapter 959 Command Center Critical Situation
The decisions of demons and ghosts directly related to the life and death of ordinary people in this country. Now it seems that the situation has evolved towards the most dangerous situation.
If these demons and evil spirits had used the idea of restraint and used the humans in this thick fog as food in a limited amount, then now, they are completely killing. Killing and eating are all two different things. That kind of gap is like comparing the casualties of a cold weapon war with World War II.
In almost a short time, Birmingham, with a population of more than one million, was completely reduced to a dead city. This is the second largest city in the UK, but under the magical powers of many evil gods, the people in this city could not even have a decent resistance. They had completely disappeared.
Faced with such a situation, the Avengers who had already made temporary contact with the City of London were completely unexpected. They were bizarre and even unbelievable that a city with a population of millions instantly lost contact. However, the City of London's explanation was very powerful and convincing.
"We have broken the connection with Birmingham City Hall, the police station, the hospital, the library, all places with communication equipment. If one or two are fine, but everything is like this, then there is only one problem. The situation has deteriorated to the worst."
The mayor of London reported to General Ross concisely. Judging from his expression, he himself was actually very unbelievable.
This is a very rational and capable person. After the fog is coming, he can recognize the seriousness of the situation as quickly as possible, and organize and persuade the people to leave their homes and take refuge in important places protected by armed forces. He has no shortage of prestige and ability. He can realize the importance of maintaining contact and contact the Avengers as quickly as possible at this critical moment, which shows that he also has enough wisdom.
Judging from the performance alone, this guy's ability has surpassed the current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. If he can overcome the current difficulties safely, then he can believe that this guy must be the best candidate for the next Prime Minister. But can they overcome this difficulties? Really, this mayor may not believe it very much.
So at that moment, looking at General Ross's expression in front of him, he immediately smiled bitterly and said to General Ross.
"I know you may have doubts about all this, or you may think that the interruption of this contact is a temporary problem. But I can only think about it in the worst direction. I reached an agreement with other cities at the beginning. Every half of the time, the three nearby cities have to cross-security verification to ensure that the city can ensure basic security in this situation where everything is unknown. However, the city of Birmingham has been missing for more than half a time."
"Not only Birmingham, but also the cities around him began to fall one after another. The message we get here is that before the city completely fell, someone sent a distress signal. Although it was very weak, it was real. And this means that this was an attack, not an accident. So, general, you should know what this means!"
"I know, of course I know!" After frowning and murmured to himself, General Ross said to the mayor. "Your Excellency, if we need to transfer all the refugees to the Port of London and evacuate them by the ships there, do you think it is possible?"
"Are you all evacuated?" He asked in surprise. The mayor immediately called his subordinates and asked them carefully. After waiting for a while, he turned around with regret and said to General Ross.
"I'm sorry, General. I asked about the situation near the port. If all the ships are added up, we can only evacuate more than 500,000 people at most. This population is a drop in the bucket compared to the population of more than 7 million in the whole of London, and even the number of people who have been registered for refuge. This plan doesn't work. General, I don't even dare to tell the citizens about your plan, because it will inevitably cause a big mess."
"But if Birmingham is over, then London may not be much better. There is no problem now, it is just a manifestation. Maybe it will take a few hours in a while. This city will follow in Birmingham. You, you should consider more people living, not for the order of the city. What you should be very clear is that this city, and even this country, is already finished!"
General Ross couldn't help but wave his arm, wanting to use this method to add strong words to allow the man who is currently in charge of the city to cooperate with his actions. But for his method, the mayor just calmly stretched out his hand and blocked everything he had.
"I know what you mean, General. But this does not serve as a reason for me to destroy the only remaining order in this city. Maybe your intention is good, but you must understand that the safety of nearly a million people in this city is maintained on this order. If I publish the bad news about Birmingham and your evacuation method, then these millions will become wild beasts that have lost control and will flee to the port regardless of everything. That kind of chaos will increase the casualties to an infinite extent, and may even incur unknown dangers."
"So, compared to your plan, I would rather control the stability of all this and then pray that the army can come and clean up the situation as quickly as possible. This is the only way I can think of at present, to ensure the safety of the vast majority of people. General, I hope you can understand my difficulties."
With a long sigh, General Ross agreed with everything that the mayor had. He knew that from the position of the mayor, everything he did was indeed the most correct choice. Whether it was for the city itself or for the safety of the lives of the citizens in this city, his ideas were all good.
But can such a result be considered good? He doesn't think so. In fact, just like the mayor himself, everything is in the worst direction. Then he thinks that this city and even this country will inevitably follow the footsteps of Japan.
He felt that he should do something, and this idea made him take action immediately and tell the mayor.
"Your Excellency, since you want to stay here and wait for military support, then I have no right to deny your right to do so. But the special operations department of the Skyhammer Bureau, I hope to get your permission to allow us to temporarily station in the port of London and coastal ports, and provide assistance to all urban refugees. We will evacuate through ships after five hours. If any citizens are willing to leave us, I hope you do not stop it."
"You look down on me too highly, Your Excellency General." Shaking his head, the mayor smiled bitterly on his face. Then he signaled to General Ross behind him. "There are the people behind me who can control me now. Other places, including those other shelters, may not listen to me now, so don't let those citizens who are still surviving in the fog. If you can give them a way out, I would be very grateful."
He reached here and stretched out his hand to General Ross, as if he wanted to say goodbye to him in this way. However, before General Ross could reach out, a man in a well-dressed but flustered manner had already run all the way to the mayor's side, and at the same time he hurriedly said to him.
"Mr. Mayor, it's not good. We lost several temporary shelters across the river and have completely lost contact. The police station received a call for help, but we have no one to send it out!"
"Is there no one to send it out, or is there no one dare to go?" With an angry wave, the mayor looked at the projected map of the city of London on his head. At this moment, the places representing shelters in the northwest of London have been marked as dazzling red. And just like some kind of infectious disease, with the emergence of these reds, almost the entire northwest began to change color.
The urgent alarm and the urgent phone call almost kept ringing in the command center of the temporary city hall. What this represents is the worst situation.
He closed his eyes vigorously, and the mayor who stood up in danger could only ask his assistant next to him in this way.
"How many people are there? Immediately, the demographics of the shelter where the situation has occurred."
"Your Excellency, there are more than 700,000 people in total. This is the total population of areas that have completely lost contact. We have no way to count the areas where things are happening."
"Tell those who can still receive our signals now that we will blow up all the bridges above the Thames within one time to slow the spread of danger in the fog. Let the commanders of the shelter organize the retreat as soon as possible. There is only one time, and after one time, they can only pray to the gods!"
With such words in a calm tone, the mayor's order immediately made the assistant beside him stunned.
"But, sir! There is Buckingham Palace there! Her Majesty the Queen, the Royal Family, and the ministers of the House, are they still on the river?"
"I'm here, one time!" Suddenly, the mayor's tone became firm. "I don't care what her identity is! Whether it's the minister or the queen, I only give them one time. After one time, if I can't retreat to the river, then I can only give up them. I won't send millions of people to the door of hell because of their identity. Do you understand what I mean?"
