Chapter 1934 Clever Strategy
Fleet Street is a famous ancient street in London, named for its proximity to the Fleet River.
Fleet Street is synonymous with British media in the UK, and even in the world. Many British media headquarters used to be on this street, so it is also known as the hometown of British newspapers.
Later, due to the printing reform brought about by computer technology, Fleet Street was no longer brilliant, and many British media headquarters moved from this famous street to Wapping and Canary Wharf.
With the passage of time, some news media headquarters that moved away have moved back for various reasons, but it is difficult to regain their former glory.
The current Fleet Street is more closely related to the British judiciary and financial circles. This street and its surrounding areas are mostly courts, large and small law firms, and investment banks.
After nightfall, Fleet Street was as peaceful as ever.
Except for people who worked overtime in various law firms and investment banks, the streets were empty. People had either gone home or went to the Temple Church to watch the excitement.
"boom"
A loud noise came out suddenly, completely tearing up the peaceful night.
The loud noise came from the Goldman Sachs UK headquarters building in the middle of Fleet Street, shaking the entire block and shattering almost all the glass of many adjacent buildings.
This was a violent explosion, and the flames of the explosion reflected the entire sky red.
Judging only from the flames and the sound of the explosion, the intensity of the explosion was no less than that of the explosion near Trafalgar Square just a few days ago, and it was even more violent than that.
In an instant, the UK headquarters building of Goldman Sachs was riddled with holes, and the street where it was located was in a mess, directly turning into a battlefield filled with gunpowder.
There was a violent explosion, and the watertight temple church surrounded by people and its surrounding area suddenly became a mess.
Everyone thought that the damned terrorist attack hit London again, and that the explosion was just around the corner, only a few hundred meters away from them.
Without the slightest hesitation, everyone started running wildly, fleeing frantically in all directions at the fastest speed, trying to find a safe hiding place as soon as possible and stay away from danger.
There were people running around everywhere around the Temple Church, screams of terror, crying on the verge of collapse, shouts of the police, and wailing sirens filled everyone's ears.
"This is some kind of terrorist attack, guys, let's go hide in the Temple Church, there are a lot of armed security personnel, the building is also very strong, there is no safer place than there"
Among the crowd, someone shouted loudly, reminding many people who were running for their lives in a hurry.
And there was more than one person who shouted loudly. Such voices could be heard behind every cordon around the temple church, each louder than the other.
Obviously, this was done on purpose, someone was going to fish in troubled waters!
As these ulterior motives came out, many people who fled for their lives in a hurry seemed to see the hope of survival and got a life-saving straw.
The terrified people didn't even have time to think. They turned around without hesitation, and rushed towards the gate of the Temple Church, one by one scrambling to be the first.
The various cordons set up by the London police, as well as the many Scotland Yard police officers responsible for on-site security, could hold back the turbulent crowd,
It was washed away in an instant.
They were even engulfed by this turbulent crowd, and had no choice but to rush towards the door of the Temple Church.
At this time, some high-level police officers have realized that this is probably a tactic to divert the tiger away from the mountain.
The person who caused this violent explosion may not have aimed at Fleet Street, but the treasures in the Temple Church and those Christian holy objects.
But what's the use of knowing?
They could only shout at the top of their voices, trying to stop the terrified crowd, but in the end it was futile and had no effect.
Instigated by those with ulterior motives in the crowd, in an extremely noisy environment, people who have long been frightened by terrorist attacks and turned into frightened birds can still listen to the police's dissuasion.
Not only that, the senior police officer of Scotland Yard who was in charge of commanding the numerous police and soldiers at the scene had to dispatch a large number of police forces to immediately rush to the explosion site on Fleet Street.
What if it was really a terrorist attack? Leaving the explosion site over Fleet Street alone and just staring at the Temple Church? No one can afford such a responsibility!
In the blink of an eye, the turbulent crowd rushed to the steps in front of the Temple Church, engulfing many London policemen.
The London policemen and soldiers standing on the steps, seeing the flood-like crowd and the terrified expressions of the people, all of them turned pale and became extremely nervous.
Behind them, many members of the Swiss Guard guarding the gate of the Temple Church were equally nervous.
Each of them tightly held the short assault rifle in their hands, but they dared not place their index fingers on the trigger and point the guns at the people who were rushing towards them.
Among the terrified crowd were monks and nuns from all over the UK and Europe, reporters from major news media around the world, countless devout believers, and many spectators.
Pointing the muzzle of the assault rifle in your hand at them will definitely cause an uproar, and the Vatican may not be able to bear this responsibility, let alone shoot these people!
All of a sudden, the London police guarding the entrance of the Temple Church, as well as many members of the Swiss Guard from the Vatican, were all caught in an embarrassing situation!
At this time, if someone watched from a high position, they would definitely find that the monks and nuns who rushed to the front of the crowd and kept shouting were basically monks and nuns wearing monk robes.
Many of them are very athletic, striding like a star, and there is still a little bit of the gentle and gentle appearance of religious people.
On the faces of these guys, there is no trace of fear anymore, replaced by a look of excitement and extremely fanatical eyes.
Just as they were stepping up the steps in front of the Temple Church, many of these guys invariably put a hand into the monk's robes, and their eyes were fixed on the London policemen who were close at hand.
In addition to these guys in monk uniforms, there were also many strong and strong men in the crowd, who also rushed towards the door of the temple church in the crowd.
On the faces of these guys, there is half fear, and some are full of excitement and excitement, even fanaticism and fierceness!
Everything that happened around the Temple Church spread throughout the world in an instant through the cameras and video cameras in the hands of media reporters on the spot, as well as the Internet and various social media, causing a huge sensation like a tsunami.
Seeing this extremely chaotic scene, everyone was completely stunned, and they all hugged their heads and exclaimed.
"My God! What happened in London? Could it be that the violent explosion just now was a terrorist attack? The British are too unlucky!"
"I have to say! This guy Steven is an out-and-out plague god. He has only been in London for a few days? There have been two violent explosions in London, and each one is more exaggerated!"
Just as people were discussing, on a street not far from the Temple Church, the convoy of Prince Charles and Prince William had already parked on the side of the street.
The many royal secret service officers and Scotland Yard police officers responsible for protecting the two are all on high alert, keeping an eye on the situation on the street, ready to go into battle at any time.
In the bulletproof car that Prince Charles was riding in, the flamboyant crown prince was listening to the police report with his son, and watching the scene of the Temple Church through the car TV.
Although the crown prince is romantic, he is not an idiot, and his mind is still very clear.
After hearing the news reported by the police, Prince Charles immediately said firmly:
"Whether the explosion in Fleet Street was a terrorist attack or not, we must now go to Temple Church and make a deal with that bastard Steven for the Irish Stone of Destiny.
In my opinion, the explosion on Fleet Street is most likely a tactic to divert the tiger away from the mountain. Someone wanted to transfer the police and army around the Temple Church, and then find a way to infiltrate the Temple Church.
Don't even think about it, those guys' goals are definitely the six Christian relics they just discovered, and if they know the existence of the Stone of Destiny in Ireland, they will definitely not let it go.
Under such circumstances, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, I am afraid we have to make a breakthrough. If the Irish Stone of Destiny falls into the hands of other people, the consequences will be absolutely disastrous! "
"Yeah, we have to go to Temple Church, I'm going to tell that bastard Steven, Scotland Yard Police Commissioner, and get them ready"
Prince William, who was also in the bulletproof car, continued, his tone was decisive and beyond doubt.
After the voice fell, he immediately took out his mobile phone and started to contact various parties.
The convoy parked on the side of the street soon started again and drove straight to the Temple Church not far away.
At the same time, Buckingham Palace, the residence where the Pope and his entourage stayed, and the entire Downing Street have also received news and heard the violent explosion that resounded through London.
In other parts of London, those who came for the treasures of the Knights Templar, those who came for the holy things of Christianity, also received the news.
Like Prince Charles, when they received the news, many people immediately thought that this was a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and it was extremely clever.
Of course, that doesn't include the guys who planned it.
Almost in the blink of an eye, all those with ulterior motives saw an opportunity from this sudden violent explosion, and everyone's eyes lit up immediately, like a searchlight.
Immediately afterwards, these guys took action, picked up their mobile phones one after another, quickly made arrangements, and tried to fish in troubled waters!
At the entrance of the Temple Church, the turbulent crowd rushed up the steps unstoppably, directly breaking through the last cordon of the London police.
Next, people will face the Swiss Guard members who are heavily armed and on high alert.
At this moment, Ye Tian's voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkies of the Swiss Guard members.
"Listen, all the Swiss Guards, let the crowd enter the temple church, but only let people stay in the outer hall. You stick to the middle hall, and you can't let anyone come over. The inner temple is handed over to us!"
Hearing this order, the highly nervous members of the Swiss Guard at the door of the church heaved a sigh of relief and somewhat relaxed.
It is still unknown what they will face next, at least now there is no need to open fire on the turbulent crowd in front of them!
Without the slightest hesitation, several members of the Swiss Guard standing at the door immediately pushed open the door of the Temple Church, and then quickly rushed into the church, preparing to deploy defenses in the Central Temple.
Behind them, the terrified crowd rushed directly into the temple church like a flood!
