About half an hour after leaving Heathrow Airport, Ye Tian and his convoy drove into downtown London and headed straight for the Ritz Hotel near Buckingham Palace in the city center.
As soon as their convoy entered downtown London, several police cars roared over, followed them, and quickly dispersed around the convoy, separating other social vehicles!
The addition of these Scotland Yard vehicles undoubtedly makes the entire fleet more spectacular and adds a bit of a chilling atmosphere!
Ye Tian and the others have long been accustomed to this kind of presidential-level special treatment. No matter where they go, they can enjoy this kind of treatment, so naturally they are not surprised!
However, people on the streets of London are not used to it! This battle is really amazing!
Just like in Belgium and France, when this heavy convoy roared through the streets of London, it immediately caused a commotion in the streets.
"Oh my God! This crazy **** Steven actually came to London. This is not a good thing! Are those idiots at Scotland Yard all confused?
Have they forgotten the series of **** massacres in New York and Paris? An extremely dangerous guy like Steven should be banned from entering the country! "
"I'll go! The antique dealers in Notting Hill are in big trouble. They are very likely to be robbed by this **** Steven just like their counterparts at the Saint-Ouan Antique Flea Market in Paris!"
Under people's frightened gazes and amid bursts of discussion, this heavy-duty convoy continued to gallop through the streets of London, quickly approaching the central city of Westminster!
While the motorcade was traveling, Ye Tian and Betty, who were in a bulletproof SUV in the middle of the motorcade, admired the scenery outside the car window and kept talking in low voices.
“I don’t know what the British people think? Why do they drive on the left? It looks so awkward. Every time a car comes in the right lane, I feel like it’s going in the wrong direction, as if it’s going to hit a convoy!”
Betty asked, pointing to the cars whizzing by outside the window, her eyes full of confusion.
Ye Tian looked out the car window, then said with a smile:
"There are several theories about the implementation of the left-hand driving system in the UK. One is that the ancient Western knights would fight with the enemy with spears in their hands. Riding on the left is obviously helpful for them to attack the enemies on the right.
Looking at it from another perspective, standing on the right side of the oncoming enemy will make it easier for them to attack, which means that this position is very dangerous, while the left side is a relatively safer place.
In addition, because European knights are equipped with swords on the left side, it is relatively convenient to dismount from the left side. Of course, dismounting from the left side can also use the horse on the right as a cover to avoid being attacked by the enemy.
Finally, there is another point. When the knight whips his horse and gallops, riding on the left is less likely to injure pedestrians on the road. In this regard, the left-hand system does make some sense.
There is also a saying that the left-hand traffic system originated from water navigation. In the 15th century, in order to reduce ship accidents, the British Navy stipulated that ships entering the Thames River should give up the direction of the sun to ships leaving.
Because the Thames River flows from north to south and then eastward, passing through London and entering the sea, ships leaving the Thames River sail eastward, thus forming a left-hand traffic system!
This statement is relatively authoritative and has been officially recognized by the British government. In 1756, the British Parliament passed the London Bridge Traffic Act, requiring all vehicles to drive on the left.
There is also a theory that in 1300 AD, Pope Peniface VIII issued a statement that all roads lead to Rome, instructing pilgrims going to Rome to walk on the left.
Since then, most countries in Western Europe and British colonies have adopted the left-hand driving system. Until the French Revolution, Robespierre ordered all carriages and pedestrians in Paris to drive on the right.
During the Napoleonic Empire, all countries conquered by Napoleon began to implement the right-hand system, but he did not conquer the British Isles, so the British Isles still maintained the left-hand system.
The United States introduced a law as early as 1792, stipulating the implementation of a right-hand system. As the influence of the United States continues to increase, some countries that originally had a left-hand system also changed to a right-hand system.
The United Kingdom has always adhered to the left-hand system, which does not rule out the stubborn character of the British. To a certain extent, the habit of left-hand system seems to be telling the glory of the empire on which the sun never sets! "
After talking about driving on the left, Betty started to comment on the street scene in London.
“Compared to Paris, London looks more modern, with more modern buildings on both sides of the streets, and the streets are cleaner, not as dirty as Paris!
As for those ancient buildings, London is not as colorful as Paris. It is not as colorful as Paris, and the historical buildings in London appear to be much duller and monotonous!
Also, the weather in London is obviously not as good as in Paris. The weather is gloomy and gloomy, giving people a depressing feeling. It is not as open and transparent as the sky in Paris! "
“This is a new urban area outside London, with more modern buildings. When we enter the city center of Westminster, you will see more historical buildings!
As far as the protection of the city's historical features is concerned, Paris does a better job than London, but the urban environment in Paris is much worse than London. London is relatively cleaner!
The French are romantic, advocating freedom and full of passion, while the British are rigorous, rigid and lack romantic elements. This is perfectly reflected in art and architecture!
Let’s talk about the weather in the UK. It’s late summer and early autumn now, and the weather outside is pretty good. If you come to London in winter, you will find that this is not a place for people to live at all!
In London in winter, it’s rainy all day long, which can definitely drive people crazy! As for the weather in Paris, it’s much better. That city is definitely God’s darling! "
Ye Tian said with a smile, commenting on the street scene in London and not forgetting to make a few remarks.
When he was in college in New York, he once traveled to Europe during the winter vacation. He was very impressed by the winter in London, which was like a nightmare!
While they were admiring and commenting on the London street scene, a group of people were talking about them in a house in downtown London. Everyone was extremely angry and gnashing their teeth!
"That crazy **** Steven came to London. I must cut that **** **** into pieces and smash his bones into ashes! Revenge for the dead guys!"
A burly man waved his fist and said, his eyes full of anger and hatred, but also revealing endless greed!
"That's right! We must kill that **** Steven. If we don't send that **** to hell, our Pink Panthers will never be able to raise their heads and be human beings. All our colleagues will despise us!"
Another person echoed loudly, equally angry and full of hatred!
No need to ask, the dozen guys staying in this building are all key members of the Pink Panther, and many of them are famous international jewelry thieves!
For the Pink Panthers, Ye Tian is their nightmare and their unyielding enemy. Every Pink Panther member wants to get rid of him as soon as possible!
Many key members of the Pink Panther made noises one after another, clamoring to seek revenge on Ye Tian and regain the face of being stepped on and rubbed by Ye Tian. They all looked fierce!
A white woman in her sixties sitting on the sofa was silent at this time, seeming to be thinking about something!
After a long while, the Slavic white woman said:
"Don't act rashly, let's take a look at the situation. Scotland Yard has issued a very clear warning. While Steven's gang of **** are in London, whoever dares to cause trouble will be dealt with by the police!
Obviously, Scotland Yard is very afraid of that **** Steven, and understands the terrifying strength and huge destructive power that **** has, and will never allow anyone to fight with those **** in London!
London is our home and hiding place! If we are not completely sure, we must not take action rashly, as that is likely to attract a joint attack from Scotland Yard and that **** Steven!
I'm not worried about those idiots at Scotland Yard, but I have to pay attention to that **** Steven. He is a lunatic who has no inhibitions and will do whatever he can. You must be extremely cautious when dealing with that bastard!
If the situation I mentioned occurs, and that **** joins forces with Scotland Yard to deal with us, as long as Scotland Yard provides a little relevant information, we are likely to suffer a devastating blow!
So we must maintain restraint and not act rashly. This does not mean that we will not take revenge, but we must find the best opportunity and try to be foolproof, otherwise we will be seeking death!
I also hate that **** Steven very much, and I wish I could tear him into pieces! But I have to admit that that **** is so powerful that it’s almost terrifying. We are no match for that bastard! "
Hearing these words, the living room suddenly became quiet. The guys who had been making noises stopped talking. A hint of fear flashed in everyone's eyes!
Life is precious!
No one wants to have Ye Tian cut his neck with a sharp knife at the bottom of the river, and then drag him backwards onto the Thames embankment with one foot by the ankle!
That scene was so horrific, it’s so creepy and scary just thinking about it!
In a government-owned building in central London, a group of people were looking at the big screen in front of them. Everyone's face was very solemn, implying anger and hatred!
On the big screen in front, it was the motorcade that Ye Tian and the others were riding in, as well as Ye Tian's personal information!
