Shadow of great britain

Chapter 146 Humanized Devil

Robert Owen saw the huge crowd rushing out and was startled by their movement.

He shouted repeatedly: "Friends! Calm down! Calm down!"

But his persuasion had long been drowned in the noisy shouts of the crowd, and the hot-blooded people could not hear clearly what he was saying.

Tom looked at the crowd that had lost control and was sweating anxiously. He asked Arthur beside him for instructions: "What should we do now? There are already hundreds of people here. If there is another big problem, If there are thousands of people involved, there will be big trouble."

Arthur didn't say much. He grabbed Tom and Tony beside him and hurriedly stopped two public carriages on the side of the road for them to put them in.

"Tom, you return to the Greenwich Police Station immediately and tell them that Arthur Hastings, the superintendent in charge of the Greenwich District of the Greater London Police Department, issued an urgent order to immediately mobilize all police forces in the district to the Woolworths in Greenwich. The Royal Arsenal and the Royal Dockyard in the Veitch area.

A post will be set up every ten steps along the road near Woolwich Arsenal, with three people per post to strengthen security patrols.

If I find any unscrupulous people trying to attack the arsenal, I will arrest them all regardless of the reason! As for whether they did it intentionally or unintentionally, we will interrogate it later.

In addition, go and talk to the Royal Artillery Regiment stationed near Woolwich Arsenal and tell them not to rush out if they find any abnormal situation. Neither the Cabinet nor the War Department has issued a suppression order yet.

If there is a large-scale riot and the local police force is really not enough to maintain order on the scene, then first request the Royal Artillery Regiment to dispatch a security company to assist.

In addition, I reiterate that guns are not allowed, and all the flintlock muskets in Greenwich Police Station were brought to Woolwich Arsenal for safekeeping. If anyone dares to lose his gun to me at this stall, I will definitely send him to the criminal court! "

When Tom heard this, he quickly stood up and saluted Arthur: "Yes, sir!"

"Tony, you go to Tower Hamlets and report the emergency to the Coldstream Royal Guards, who are responsible for guarding the Tower of London. If the commander of the Coldstream Royal Guards, Prince Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge, happens to be there, If so, report it directly to him and deploy local police forces to assist them in strengthening the defense of the Tower of London Armory.

In addition, all the guns in Tower Hamlets Police Station were also transported to the Tower of London for me. I know how many guns there are there. If after the inspection, I find that even one is missing, I want them to look good! "

When Tony heard this, he gritted his teeth and asked: "Arthur, Tower Hamlets is different from Greenwich. Greenwich is our hometown, and Tom is familiar with them, so you can tell the truth. But now I Without a formal transfer order from Scotland Yard signed by you, those guys may not be willing to listen to me!"

When Arthur heard this, he also understood what Tony meant.

After he was promoted to superintendent, the position of the new police inspector in Greenwich District had not yet been officially determined. Several local police chiefs were also his old subordinates. Tom could easily gain everyone's trust by showing his face in the past.

But the situation in Tower Hamlets was a little complicated because the police inspector in Tower Hamlets, like Clemens, was from the Cavalry Guards.

Although it cannot be said that the two of them are on the same path just because they have the same background, judging from the fact that Fred can confidently open a detective agency in Tower Hamlets and do business, the police inspector is probably not a good person. Son.

Arthur licked the corners of his mouth, grabbed Tony's shoulders, put the pipe in his pocket into his hand, and then lowered his voice and spoke in his ear.

"If that Inspector of Tower Hamlets won't do what you say, go to Jones and give him my pipe, and he'll know how to deal with it."

Tony exhaled slightly, and then nodded lightly at Arthur: "Okay, Arthur, I know what to do, so please take care of yourself."

Arthur watched the two people leave in the carriage, half of his worries relieved.

He immediately stopped a public carriage that was behind him, and when he was about to step on, he found Agares standing in front of him.

The red devil stretched its wings, blocking the morning sun and casting a shadow on Arthur's face.

He polished his nails with a file and shook his head.

"Arthur, why are you doing this? They like to seek death, so let them go. Tsk, even after thousands of years, humans still only have this level of intelligence.

In your religious books, you call me a devil and say that I use various benefits to deceive human souls. It’s true that I lied to my soul, but I gave him something after all!

Everyone has a fair contract and a fair transaction. When humans enjoy the benefits I give them, they will naturally pay me the benefits agreed upon at the beginning.

But now, some people just gave them some vague promises and shouted, 'Down with Wellington, overthrow the Tories'. They didn't give them guns or cannons, so they just rushed forward with bare hands. To die.

To be honest, this is not as good as the Crusades back then. At least after the Crusaders won, they actually grabbed a lot of money, and the land and honor of the Kingdom of Jerusalem were shared among the top and bottom.

Gee, it seems that it is easier to do human fraud business than to do soul trading. Arthur, I've said it many times, don't hang out with these idiots. They probably really thought that they would get some benefits after knocking Wellington out of power.

So what if Wellington steps down? Isn’t it just a matter of changing the party’s governance? Public ownership of property and equal labor sounds nice. If human beings were really so selfless, there would be no such thing as heaven and hell.

Not to mention that property is owned by the public, if you pick up a random beggar on the street and ask a group of workers if they are willing to let this stranger live in their home, ten out of ten will be unwilling.

In the end, I, a guy who was willing to let a beggar live in my home, turned out to be a heinous devil in the classics.

Those who really do things are devils, and those who just talk about fraternity become angels. Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is hypocritical human nature...

Arthur, I advise you not to take that old path. Although you don’t like to read the Bible, I still recommend that you learn more about the stories in it.

Why do the images of God in the Bible always rain down meteorites, cause fires, and cause floods? Have you ever considered that God actually did such a thing?

No, that is just the God they expect. Only disaster can make them learn something good.

So, do you know how that kind man felt when Jesus was crucified on the cross?

Only when humans know it hurts can they appreciate it. Jesus was not resurrected or ascended to heaven. Those are just lies made up by a group of shameless people to comfort their poor consciences.

It is disgusting to think about a group of murderers kneeling in front of the body of the earthly savior to repent and mourn.

There is a reason why angels are hard to find in the world. Your kindness for no reason will only make them think you are weak and can be bullied. Only when you put the barrel of a gun on their heads will they kneel down and surrender to you.

Arthur, listen to me and don't go. You just need to take care of your own jurisdiction. What other people do is their business. Even if the army is dispatched in the end, this group of people asked for it. Aren’t these people clamoring not to talk about morality? So why would you save them for moral reasons? Don't be stupid, Arthur, morals can't change people's hearts. "

However, when Arthur heard this, he just smiled softly: "Morality is not for others, but for yourself. What I do is not to influence anyone, but to make myself feel better. If you think I Being moral can only mean that you are becoming more and more like a human being. Because only in the eyes of humans, what constitutes good and evil in rational social animals is not emotion, but behavior."

After saying this, Arthur passed through the shadow of Agares' body and stepped into the carriage.

"To 10 Downing Street, the Prime Minister's official residence."

When the coachman heard this, he couldn't help but take off his hat, and even spoke cautiously: "Sir, what are you doing there?"

Arthur smiled and said: "What else can we do? Of course, go to see our Prime Minister, the Duke of Wellington."

The driver shook the reins and the carriage started slowly: "I mean why are you going?"

Arthur took out two coins from his pocket and handed them over through the front window of the carriage: "In order to protect the public's property and life safety for the police of the Metropolitan Police Department. So for the sake of this little property, would you please faster."
