Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

London, the greatest human city of this age, had no one but one.

Since 1850, the population of London had already reached 3 million. After that, it continued to rise until the population of London, the nineteenth century, was nearing 6 million.

In those days, this was simply unimaginable. With the ancient technology and productivity, as well as the management ability of the government, the population of a city was already at the limit of one million.

Since more than one million people, each increment of one order of magnitude of population has put forward a severe test on the organizational capacity of the various resources of society.

The society has to ensure that so many people eat, drink, dress and live in houses... There are also garbage disposal, sewage discharge and other basic survival needs.

With a large population, you have to provide enough work, security, medical insurance, etc. Everything else, not to mention just a single medical treatment is already a curse of the medieval world.

The population will increase with the natural infectious disease, medical means cannot keep up with the supermetropolis will not appear.

What was comprehensive national power? This was comprehensive national power. When a country was able to maintain the smooth running of such a super city, this kind of strength was already enough to look down on all the heroes of the country.

The first world war and the second world war, British victories, in fact, were largely a result of the superb organizational capabilities they had built up, especially during the second world war, when the Nazi wolves in the Atlantic began to slaughter cargo ships without limits, and before the aid of the United States reached shore.

For countless days and nights, Britain had relied on its most powerful organization to coordinate the distribution of resources among its citizens and to reconstruct the social order.

This was the soft power of a country, something that many politicians neglected. Without this soft power, a civilization would be lacking in toughness, and when the war dragged on for a long time, countries with strong organization would always be able to laugh at the end.

Today, however, the organization of the entire city was under extraordinary challenge. The city had become restless since yesterday, and the police could smell it.

This was not the beginning of any chaos, nor was it the beginning of any conspiracy. It was all because of the arrival of the ambassador group from the east. Under the constant bombardment of the Chinese series, the curiosity of the British people was piqued to the extreme.

Since half a month ago, London's hotels and hostels had been continuously taking in guests, and only going in and going out. Ten days ago, all the hotels and hostels in London no longer had a single empty room.

There were wealthy and idle European aristocracy s, capitalists, mega-merchant s everywhere … There was no way they would miss such a historic event. There were even some wealthy Americans who wanted to take a cruise across the Atlantic to watch the show.

God knows if they were spies or ordinary spectators.

It was not just the big shots in Europe and the North America who were moving, but also the countless middle classes with better economic conditions who were beginning to gather in London.

This was especially true for the citizens of the other cities on the British Isles. If they couldn't find a hotel or a hotel, they would have to rent a place to stay. Countless local residents of London had made a huge profit by renting out an empty house in the past half month.

Many people were hoping that the Chinese diplomatic corps wouldn't leave. If they stayed in London for a long time, they would definitely die.

The busiest place in London was the police force. In order to ensure the safety of the diplomatic convention, all the guests from the city had to be registered, especially those from France and Russia, who were potentially dangerous people and even those from Scotland Yard.

The London Chief of Police had mobilized all 30,000 police officers from the city, and that was not enough to mobilize another 20,000 police force from other cities.

Fifty thousand elite police officers were concentrated in London, which made the public order much better. Every day, the number of police officers patrolling the streets was twice as many as usual.

Not only that, the Prime Minister Benjamin had also ordered the Army and Navy to mobilize a portion of their emergency forces to the edge of the city.

Benjamin really wanted all of these Chinese to die, but he absolutely could not die in London or in Britain!

All of these preparations were for today. The police department had finally calculated that there were close to a hundred thousand foreign guests who came to watch the ceremony. This kind of diplomatic event was truly rare, and the people of London would all go watch it.

A preliminary estimate was that this welcoming ceremony would cause more than three hundred thousand people to crowd onto the two sides of the street Tongzhi and the Emperor were walking on.

Otherwise, the three hundred thousand citizens who came to watch the show would not be able to take it!

The chaos reached its peak today, and the Chief of Police guarding the Tower Bridge did not sleep the entire night. The police of the entire city rode their horses and passed down orders back and forth.

"Hurry up! Urgent... "More than 3,000 people suddenly poured out of Paddington. Our police force is not strong enough to ask for reinforcements …"

"Waterloo Bridge is overcrowded. People have already fallen into the water … "Request for help, request for help!"

"West district, there are crowds on Twelfth Street. We're in the process of evacuating …"

"Unimaginable! "It's really out of our expectations. There are way more people than we have expected …"

One by one, urgent requests for help was gathered to Tower Bridge, who was in a room inside the tower bridge. From the window, he could see the pier and the beautiful welcoming ceremony, where all the fresh flowers were already in place.

Chief of Police, whose head was drenched in sweat, anxiously shouted, "Where's the subway? Is the subway safe? "Oh god, it's fine if the streets are crowded, at least people won't die. We can't let anything happen to the subway, we'll step on them …"

The London subway system was the first subway system in the history of mankind. It was also the transportation hub that had to be built as the City of London city expanded continuously.

In 1863, the Metropolitan Line was the first subway station and also the pride of the British Industrial Revolution. In the era when the Qing Dynasty was still engaged in the final battle with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the British already possessed an incomparably sci-fi underground rail line. It was clear from this how big of a gap there was between the East and the West.

Chief of Police's worry was justified. The current Metropolis Line was packed to the brim, and all the police forces at the third floor of the entrance were unable to cope with the surging tide of people.

"Back..." Everyone back... One by one, they got off the subway! "

"My hat, my hat is missing …"

"Child, you squeezed into my child's hand …"

"Oh my god, you bunch of trash, did the taxes from the people raise you idiots?"

The police blocked the entrance with their bodies, leaving a small gap for the crowd to enter. They knew that once the opening was opened, the crowd would rush in, and there would be disaster.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Gentlemen... It's too dangerous. All of you get in at once, and even the subway can't hold so many of you! "

"Please back away... please step back... Oh God, who kicked my cock? It hurts so bad … "Damn it!"
