In the foggy March, the streets of the capital, Cabinet Minister Attlee drove hurriedly through the streets, heading to Westminster Palace to attend the cabinet meeting held by Prime Minister Lloyd George.

This kind of meeting has been held more than a dozen times in the past month, and Attlee has attended so many times that he is almost numb!

Bang!

Suddenly, there was a muffled sound outside the moving car, and Attlee, who was sitting in the car, was startled.

“”What’s wrong? What happened?”

Attlee asked the driver in front of him in shock.

In this era, it is quite common for politicians from various countries to be assassinated.

The civilian assassination of princes and ministers in Sarajevo happens from time to time, and it is not only the Eagle Sauce that often stages the mentally ill”accidentally” shooting of the president, but also often occurs in Europe!

Therefore, government officials like Attlee who hold great power are most afraid of encountering this kind of situation when they travel!

“It seems like someone has been hit. Sir, please don’t go out. There may be someone wanted outside!”

The driver was startled and quickly reminded Attlee after hearing his words.

Because the number of assassinations of government officials has increased, countries have attached great importance to the protection of their own domestic officials.

For example, as it is now, the car that the officials are riding in has encountered an emergency, and they cannot get off the car first, because it is very likely that the enemy and the gang are ambushing nearby. Once they get off the car, they themselves are likely to become the target of the other party’s attack. At that time, they will be easily sniped by the other party without any protection!

Attlee was very nervous. After hearing the driver’s words, he nodded and lowered his head, trying not to be discovered by people outside. The car he was riding in was specially reinforced. In addition to the glass not being bulletproof, the car’s cabin has been specially thickened and ordinary bullets cannot penetrate it, so as long as he is not exposed to the enemy’s sight, there will not be any great danger!

Attlee held his head and lay in the car, his heart was very panicked, and at the same time very curious: Who wants to assassinate him?

Is it the Hans?

If the Hans want to assassinate, why don’t they assassinate the king and the prime minister first?

These people are obviously more valuable than him!

So he thinks it is unlikely that it is the Hans.

But if it is not the Hans, who could it be?

Could it be his political enemy at home?

Just as Attlee was thinking about it, the bodyguard’s words came to his face.

“”Sir, it’s all right now, it’s not an assassin!”

The bodyguard’s words made Attlee feel relieved.

But he began to be curious again: If it wasn’t an assassin, then what was that sound just now?

With a hint of curiosity, Attlee walked out of the car, and then he was stunned by the scene in front of him!

In front of his car, a ragged beggar was lying in front of the car covered in blood, and large groups of beggars around saw the car stop, and they all surrounded them and began to ask for food!

Attlee was scared, he had never encountered such a situation, especially being surrounded by so many beggars on the street!

He felt as if he was going to be divided up by these hungry beggars.……

……

Attlee finally managed to save his life, but when he arrived at Westminster Palace, he looked very embarrassed, and he looked no different from the beggars who had surrounded him before.

So when he entered Westminster Palace, his colleagues looked at him with strange eyes. Many of them were frightened by his appearance. If they hadn’t recognized that it was Attlee, they would have thought he was a beggar from the street who broke in!

“”I’m sorry, I’m late!”

Attlee hurriedly walked through the corridor, knocked on the door, and walked into the agreed meeting room.

The people in the meeting room were originally discussing something, and when they saw Attlee come in, they all turned their eyes to him.

Attlee felt uncomfortable being stared at by these people, his face flushed, and he explained awkwardly:”I encountered a little trouble on the way here just now!”

Before he explained in detail, the people around him revealed a look of understanding. Attlee was very curious. Did these people have the same experience as him?

So he followed the gazes of the crowd and saw that Prime Minister Lloyd George, who was sitting in the first seat, also looked ragged.

“Ahem, now that everyone is here, let’s continue with the previous topic!”

Prime Minister Lloyd George was holding back his anger. He was already in his sixties and approaching seventy years old, but he didn’t expect to be blocked and robbed by a group of beggars on the street!

Although there were many guards around him, because these people did not receive the order to open fire, and they were surrounded by a group of beggars, they did not dare to open fire easily. Just as they hesitated, they were completely surrounded by beggars!

After the beggars surrounded them, they robbed almost all the valuables on them, and even stripped off their suit jackets. If a group of mounted police had not rushed to save their lives, they would probably be no different from the beggars now!

“I don’t know why, but now a large number of beggars have appeared on the streets of Fog City. The existence of these beggars has greatly threatened the social security of Fog City. They have begun to intercept and rob people on the street. Many cars and pedestrians have been robbed, and the shops on the street have also been smashed, looted and burned. About 30 shops in Xicheng District have been robbed, of which 19 are grain stores selling grain!”

The mayor of Fog City said to everyone with an embarrassed look. The appearance of these beggars has made Fog City a mess.

This reminded him of the scene in early 192, when the economic crisis just broke out and the unemployed people from all over the country poured into Fog City.

However, at least those people did not rob in public so unscrupulously, so the harm caused by those people was far less than this time!

“We must immediately send troops to expel and capture them. The German army is eyeing Europe covetously. Our main energy must be used to defend against foreign invasion. There is no extra force to maintain internal security. Therefore, we must use thundering means to kill these people with one blow and eradicate them once and for all!” The tone of the Minister of War was murderous, as if he had an irreconcilable hatred with these beggars.

Attlee was stunned for a moment and subconsciously wanted to refute, but he didn’t expect someone to speak before him:”What’s the point of killing them all? If the food problem is not solved, everyone will become beggars. By then, are we going to kill all 40 million people in the country?”_
