C2121 The Chaos of London

Even if Benjamin was an outstanding politician, able to keep a straight face, allowing his political enemies to humiliate him in such a diplomatic situation, his face would not be let down.

"My Minister of Finance, you seem to be meddling in too many things. Do you want to interfere with the management of the city?" This was Benjamin insinuating that Gladstone was ambitious, he knew that everything he said today would be passed on to the Queen.

Gladstone's current position was in the Minister of Finance, and was directly under Benjamin's leadership. But who other than the Queen could handle this great god? Benjamin felt a headache seeing him.

The leader of the opposition party was the Liberal Party, who posed the greatest threat.

Until now, Benjamin had only taken office with four pieces of the budget allocated to him, but he was rejected by the cannon. Every time the council debate ended, Benjamin would suffer a crushing defeat.

This was what a real political enemy should be like, Benjamin knew clearly that Gladstone had her eyes on the throne of the Prime Minister, and he still had the ability to challenge her.

However, no matter how powerful a subordinate was, he was still a subordinate at the moment. In such a large-scale state visit ceremony, it was necessary for a subordinate to act as if he was a subordinate.

A deep worry emerged in Benjamin's heart. He stared at Gladstone and was confused. Normally, Gladstone would not be so ignorant as to understand the general situation of a politician of this level.

To deliberately find trouble with him at this kind of occasion, was Gladstone confident that she could break the rules? Is he determined to attack me? Was this the signal to declare war?

The two of them were of equal seniority in the political arena and were very close to each other. Adding that Gladstone had defeated Benjamin numerous times in the debates, the leader of the opposition party naturally would not be afraid of the threat from the Prime Minister.

He adjusted his tie and said nonchalantly, "Dear Prime Minister, please don't forget that I am not only the Minister of Finance, but also a resident of London. Can I not blame London for such a chaotic and inefficient management?"

"Please don't forget that this is the first time in the history of mankind that an emperor of the East and West has come here to visit. The entire world, including our future generations, is watching us. Do you wish to leave behind a stain of chaos?"

"You can afford to disgrace that person, but I can't afford to disgrace myself …" Hehe, 200,000 people? "How laughable, I don't know where you found such an advisor, but his analysis is so childish and ridiculous!"

"I remember that half a month ago, I wrote a letter to you. I already reminded you in that letter that there will be more than 400 thousand spectators at this gathering. Have you not seen it before?"

Benjamin was immediately angered, his mouth was full of bitterness, of course he knew about the letter, but the arrogance hidden within the words in the letter made him extremely unhappy, and even Gladstone's reminder was taken by surprise.

Now that he thought about it, this was probably Gladstone's plan. On the surface, it was a reminder but it was spoken in a very harsh tone, purposely provoking him.

After he threw the proposal letter into the trash can, he would then bury the fact that he had been attacked. At least, he would have a reputation of not accepting criticism.

In other words, the more chaotic the ceremony became, the greater the crime would be. If there was a trampling or falling into the water and several people died, Gladstone would certainly attack him with all her might.

This was clearly setting up a trap for him! But this trap hadn't been broken yet. Who told you not to stop giving suggestions? Who told you to underestimate the scale of this event?

In the end, it was all because of Benjamin's arrogance. From the bottom of his heart, he looked down on this group of yellow skinned monkeys, and in his heart, he already predicted that the gathering of 200,000 would be an overestimation. How could it reach a level of 400,000?

There was no medicine to sell for regret in this world. Benjamin no longer bickered with Gladstone and quickly took the pen and blank piece of paper from the secretary. He wrote a note very quickly.

"Give this to your Chief of Police, he can use this note to command the troops stationed outside the city! Both the army and the navy will cooperate with you … "

"Yes!" "The Prime Minister..." The officer saluted, stuffed the paper into his pocket, and turned to run back.

"Make up the dead sheep? "This is pretty good …" Gladstone smiled and said, "I'm just afraid that we won't be able to make it in time. It's almost 7 o'clock, what time does the request for help from the police department go to the barracks?" How many hours will it take for the army to move in? "

"Can you make it in time for the ceremony? "I think so …"

"Enough!" Benjamin walked over to Gladstone and growled, "What time is it now? Can you have a look at the big picture? If you want to attack me, after the welcoming ceremony is over, there will be plenty of opportunities! "

"You said it earlier, the entire history of Europe, including the humans, is paying attention to this gathering. When that happens, it will be akin to losing the face of an empire. What's there to gloat about?"

Gladstone deliberately put on a frightened look. "Oh …" My dear Prime Minister, are you reprimanding me? Are you utterly disappointed in me? God, you have wronged me, have you not seen all my efforts? "

"Sacrifice? I only saw your sarcasm! "If you don't attack my budget allocation plan in the council, it would be a big help to me!"

Gladstone turned his head and did not bother to look at Benjamin, "Haha, my Prime Minister, did you only see my weakness? This really makes my heart go cold … I truly brought about a loss of interest on my own. In order to clean up your mess, I have specially mobilized more than three thousand members of the Liberal Party.

"Ai …" I'm afraid they're already working with the police to divert traffic. My efforts can only be exchanged with your reprimand? Really … Tsk tsk … "Really …"

Benjamin's head started to hurt. He immediately realized that he had been tricked, Gladstone was purposely making a fool out of himself!

Damn it, he actually secretly organized the Liberal Party to help the police maintain order on the streets.

It's over. I'll have to lose points again in front of the queen.

Right at this moment, an energetic voice sounded out beside the two of them, "Two gentlemen, can you two stop arguing?" Now we have to solve the problem, not aggravate it... "

"Even if the Liberal Party has three thousand people to maintain order on the streets, it would still be a drop in the bucket. If we want to deal with the four hundred thousand people watching the ceremony, our police force will have to be doubled …"

"In the end, it still depends on the army! I suggest that we ask the royal family to send some of the imperial guards over! "After all, the imperial guards' military camp is in the city, and there are a thousand soldiers stationed in Hyde Park!"
