Driving the Prime Minister Crazy
Chapter 43: Driving the Prime Minister Crazy
The defense minister was also depressed, you said you have nothing to change the visa what the hell, honestly stay in China is not good?
Nelson did not have time to listen to the defense minister and Cameron nonsense, grabbed the headset, said: "If the plane does not land safely, I can not be released, you will receive a bigger gift."
The Prime Minister and others heard Nelson hang up the communication, all angry as hell, hate can not kill Nelson immediately. But they could not do anything, who knows what Nelson, this madman, will do again? And where to set up an ambush.
The prime minister stared at Howard and said, "What does he mean by a greater gift?"
Howard shook his head, indicating that he was not sure.
The prime minister frowned, looked at his assistant, and asked, "When will Holden arrive?"
The assistant picked up the phone and was just about to call Holden and ask where he had arrived when the door to the conference room was pushed open. A middle-aged man with beady eyes, a broad forehead, and a high nose walked in.
As soon as he entered, he asked, "What is the situation now?"
The prime minister's assistant whispered in his ear and quickly reported the situation. Haldane looked at the defense minister, then at the silent news on the TV, and pondered.
The others knew he might have some guesses and did not make a sound to interrupt his thoughts.
After a while, Holden said: "This hijacking was set up by Nelson a long time ago, breaking the news of the time of the hijacking and other news on the Internet. Then the upcoming parade could also be organized by his people? If human bombs were mixed in with the parade, the casualties and panic caused would be unparalleled."
Haldane is the director of the British National Security Agency. The National Security Agency, formerly known as the "Fifth Branch of Military Intelligence" (mi5), is responsible for domestic security work in the United Kingdom, similar in nature to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), so it is also known as the "Security Service". As a significant predator in the British intelligence community, his words no one dares to ignore.
Howard's fingers tapped on the table. He was not thinking about the possibility, but how to avoid human bombs.
The prime minister had received too much bad news in a short time and his scalp was about to explode! He asked, "Holden, do you have any evidence?"
"There is no direct evidence, but yesterday the bureau destroyed a drug trafficking stronghold, and as a result, several bomb undershirts were found from inside, suspecting that a terrorist organization was trying to wreak havoc. I have sent people to step up the pursuit, originally thought it was 'al-Qaeda' trying to make trouble, but now it seems that it should be Nelson's people."
"No suspects caught?" Howard asked.
Shaking his head, Holden said, "Six drug traffickers, resisting, five were killed and one blew himself up wearing a bomb undershirt."
The prime minister's scalp tingled as he listened, dammit. Only one stronghold was found and there were six desperate terrorists, if there were a few more strongholds and these people blew themselves up during the parade, they could have killed thousands of people and left London strewn with corpses.
In Europe and the United States, a few people die and the flag is flown at half-mast and the nation observes a moment of silence. If thousands of people had died, what would have happened?
He said to his assistant, "Inform Scotland Yard immediately that no one will be allowed to march, and if they do, they will be dispersed immediately."
The assistant contacted Scotland Yard (a substitute name for the London Police Department in the British capital, or the London Metropolitan Police Department on the London Police's Chinese website) and informed the director of Scotland Yard of the prime minister's order.
The march had already begun, and a large number of people joined the demonstration to protest for the lives of their compatriots by protesting against the government's intention to shoot down a plane full of them. As the procession marched, there were already people burning placards, clothes, and other objects, and physically clashing with the police who were maintaining order. The police had not yet received orders from the director and maintained restraint.
In Britain, demonstrations are the right of every citizen and no one can take it away. The police can only maintain order, they cannot prevent them from exercising their rights.
The marching crowd advanced towards Parliament Square, where there were more violent clashes. The crowd threw smoke bombs, firecrackers, sticks and other objects at the police, and tried to break through the police and storm the Parliament building. Some anarchists took the opportunity to cause trouble, smashing the windows of the surrounding buildings and trying to break in and take advantage of the chaos to loot.
The order from the Scotland Yard director was finally given and the riot police started to disperse the marching crowd, beating up anyone who dared to attack the surrounding stores and police officers, and a number of fire engines set up high-pressure hoses and sprayed the marching crowd.
Many of the peaceful marchers did not realize that the police were trying to save them, but instead believed that the police were preventing them from exercising their legitimate rights and impeding the freedom of the people. More people joined the attack on the police, with many throwing rocks and other objects, injuring the officers. One rock hit a policeman's horse on the buttocks. The horse was frightened and threw the policeman off, spreading its hooves and causing more commotion.
More and more riot police arrived on the scene, lined up in neat rows, banging their shields and demonstrating the advance of the crowd, to squeeze out their space to move and send them scattering back to their homes.
Individual hardliners were holding out, but the result was that they were split up and surrounded by police, and then beaten in a circle with batons, while some were sprayed with several doses of pepper spray to make their eyes red and swollen.
Large-scale demonstrations are not so easy to disperse, and the clashes between the police and the people will not be decided for a while.
The prime minister kept an eye on the situation, and when he learned of the massive clashes in Parliament Square, his brow furrowed even more.
If the crowd does not disperse, the hidden human bombs can be detonated at any time. They hid in the crowd, the prime minister cast a shadow, then dare not bring down the airliner.
The anarchists who smashed the glass and attacked the police had bad luck in their lives. They were all caught by the police and immediately searched, followed by a brutal beating, and then began interrogation. Scotland Yard, with the assistance of the National Security Agency, has captured hundreds of people, but none of them are human bombs.
The director of Scotland Yard and Haldane thought it was a bad thing that no human bombs were found, which meant that these human bombs were very well hidden, disguised as ordinary citizens, which made it extremely difficult to identify and locate the terrorists. Even if the parade crowd will be dispersed, a short time, the crowd will also form a small-scale gathering, which is human nature. And these terrorists are likely to hide in small groups of people, so that they can continue to carry out terrorist acts and also cause great harm to the crowd.
Haldane told the Prime Minister the speculation. The Prime Minister's cold sweat came down! What to do? Once the airliner is bombed, it is likely that the serial bombings will not be avoided, while not bombing the plane, if it hits the building, the effect is the same. If you hit the building, and a series of bombings, that will be the life of the pro!
The current situation is no matter how to do, the Prime Minister are not fishing for good, how he is the biggest loser. The Prime Minister decided to fight, damn it, since I can not get well, Nelson also do not want to get well, how also have to let him die in front of their own.
The prime minister threw off his usual pretense of jaded elegance and said viciously, "Clement, shoot it down."
If he had known that Cameron was on the plane before, the defense minister would have obeyed orders to have the fighter captain shoot down the airliner. But now his own nephew was on the airliner, and if he shot it down, his brother, the patriarch of the Moses family, would have eaten him!
In China, it's an official position. The official is bigger than any businessman, and the family patriarch is definitely controlled by the official, so it can be said that the official is a word to the wise, and no businessman can confront the official. But capitalism is not like this, capitalism is the business standard. That is to say, the businessman is the largest, and even abroad seems to be a fair presidential election, in fact, is only a few consortia playing the game. You know that every presidential campaign needs to go around the country and major TV canvassing, that is the need to spend money. There is no one or two hundred million dollars to even qualify for the presidential race. Most presidents are ordinary people, that is, people with money, they can not fight the consortium. So those presidents are elected by the consortium, is required to serve the consortium. Of course, as president, certainly to balance the forces, and even for the benefit of a consortium or an industry, will not be too much. Otherwise, causing a backlash from other consortia, the president stepped down in a minute.
The president is in control of the consortium. Clement, the Minister of Defense is also his brother pushed up, that is, without his brother, he simply can not be the Minister of Defense. And the minister of defense is a term of office, if further up, can not be elected prime minister, and ultimately an ordinary person, at most in a consortium or company as a consultant. So he simply can not do without his brother's support, otherwise not to mention running for prime minister, the position of defense minister may be immediately taken down.
Since he could not shoot down the airliner, Clement could not openly resist the prime minister's order, so he could only make excuses and said, "The airliner is over Dover, and if it is shot down, the falling airliner will kill a large number of citizens."
The prime minister stared at Clement and said, "Show me the location of the airliner, I want to know where it is."
The assistant pulled up the flight position of the airliner, which had just flown over Dover.
Dover is the Borough and Port of Kent, England. Closest to the French port of Calais, the two places go only 34 kilometers, making it one of the busiest seaports in England, with up to 18 million passengers a year. The strait between England and France is also named the Strait of Dover.
Not to mention the city's population, just up to 18 million tourists, of which there must be many foreigners, once the airliner was shot down, killing a large number of foreign tourists, there will be more international disputes!
The prime minister stared at the airliner's course and said, "Let the fighter captain choose for himself, as long as there are no dense dwellings and crowds below, he can fire at any time without asking for instructions."
The corners of Clement's mouth grinned. If absolute autonomy was given to the fighter captain, the airliner would have to be shot down in a minute, Britain is vast and sparsely populated, many of the farms and land are not many people live, if it reaches the top of the farms, a missile, the airliner will have to be torn apart.
If it is usual, he also and the prime minister to make a discussion. Do a secret deal or something, but now not only the number of high-ranking officials present, the most critical is that the Prime Minister was driven crazy by Nelson's no room for error, I'm afraid it will no longer listen to anyone's advice!
