As far as the transformation of London's urban areas is concerned alone, the occurrence of the smog incident is of course a good thing. It's just that Alan Wilson can't express it, otherwise the families of thousands of people who died will not accept it.

The remodeling and resettlement clauses in London this time are almost a one-to-one copy of the safety and quality clauses for shantytown renovation.

But there is no such thing as splitting the word and spraying it, the consequences of being a millionaire. It's great to be able to replace a new house one by one! With the current British finances, things like compensation must not account for much.

House-for-house is the main resettlement method for the reconstruction in London. Of course, the London City Government will give certain compensation for the housing expenses during this period.

Without the expanded production capacity of British Malaya, it is very difficult to rely on the United Kingdom itself, not to mention that the East End of London is an industrial area, and the relocation of factories will definitely affect the production capacity.

Alan Wilson, an overseas commissioner, was markedly different from the local officials. If we say that there are two main points of difference, one is that the backing is strong, and the other is that the courage is strong enough, and the two complement each other.

Because of the Mountbatten family's backing, he dared to intervene in any risky matter, and the final result was not bad. It has not been stumbling and stumbling until today.

The reconstruction of London, which has been defined as a major livelihood project, this time, he is extremely attentive, with the help of Cabinet Secretary Norman Brooke. Before becoming the Cabinet Secretary, he was the Deputy Minister of Reconstruction. In fact, he is the deputy secretary of the Ministry of Reconstruction!

The planning of post-war reconstruction came from the hands of Norman Brooke. With such a cabinet secretary who is no less than the Emperor of Apocalypse in the field of architecture, Alan Wilson's planning is naturally like a duck to water.

"Never in the history of the UK has such a livelihood project been carried out." Norman Brooke expressed his appreciation for Alan Wilson's idea of ​​​​a house-for-house, and he now agrees that the smog incident is indeed a positive in this matter. .

"Countries with the Soviet system seem to be no strangers to this model. Eastern European countries are allocating houses." Alan Wilson changed the conversation, and did not forget that he was a reliable person, "Of course, the national conditions are different, but due to the cost Considering it, this is still profitable, and it should be able to satisfy the real estate developers of the construction.”

After all, from the integration of bungalows to buildings, a house becomes a seven-story building, and the land saved is still very valuable. This is London, which is considered a first-tier city in the world, where every inch of land is expensive.

The policy of swapping houses for houses can reduce the floor space of houses and give the land to real estate businessmen for development. In this way, the real estate businessmen are profitable, and the City of London is also free, which is the best of both worlds.

In practice, since the value of the resettlement houses in the east area may be relatively low, the amount of compensation may also be pulled down. Therefore, first of all, it should be determined whether the house that is classified as the scope of demolition belongs to the resettlement house.

In this way, the East End of London will eventually save land area, and it is also conducive to population concentration. It is not a big deal to learn from the Soviet Union in some places. It can be changed to a different term.

If this matter can have a good outcome, there is a chance that the East End of London will become the stronghold of the Labour Party for a long time. In fact, the East End of London is also dominated by Labour supporters.

"You may not know that the Prime Minister is very determined to support this plan." Norman Brooke mentioned the entanglement of Prime Minister Attlee.

It’s easy to say that everything is going well, but if there are too many constraints in this matter, the result is not satisfactory? Know what it means for the ruling party if a traditional box-office region turns its back on it.

"Dear Sir, just leave it to me. Didn't the Prime Minister say that we must combine the advantages of capitalism and socialism!" thing.

At this time, he still had time to contact Vivien Leigh, inquiring side-by-side, about the current situation of the new British national treasure Audrey Hepburn, and admitting mistakes around the corner. This young actress arranged it by herself.

Vivien Leigh can think of the telegram, Alan Wilson seems guilty, but there is no way. She also hinted in the call back that she really knew that Audrey Hepburn, a young actress, was suspected of being confused with her lover. unclear relationship.

But she is still willing to give Audrey Hepburn a chance and give her the script of Roman Holiday. Vivien Leigh hopes that this telegram can make her lover understand her good intentions.

It's a pity that Alan Wilson didn't have time to watch it. He was doing something that he was used to in his previous life, but very rare in the UK, fighting floods and disasters.

The North Atlantic Ocean, known as the Ocean of Storms, formed a catastrophic storm in February. The huge waves were carried by the strong winds and came all the way towards the English Channel. The typhoons approached the coastlines of coastal countries against the waves.

Ferries to and from the UK and France have been lost in the storm, but the storm's impact goes far beyond that. Alan Wilson, who was in London, got the news that the sea had poured from the mouth of the Thames.

"It is foreseeable that the flood this time is in the bud." Seeing the dark clouds in the sky, the memory of the European floods of 1953 came to mind, and Alan Wilson arrived in Whitehall wearing a raincoat.

Expressing the seriousness of the situation in Norman Brooke, it is imperative that a dam should be cast at the mouth of the Thames immediately. It is not soft. It has only been less than two months since London suffered from the London smog incident, and the impact has just dissipated. For the citizens of London at this time It's even worse.

"According to the news from the shipping sector, our ferry has lost contact in the strait, and there are 133 passengers crossing the sea. I don't want to be too pessimistic, but they may be out of luck."

With wind and rain, turbid waves rolling, and facing the danger of bursting the embankment, the seawater in the Thames Estuary has begun to pour back. London was in danger of being submerged in seawater, and of course the danger of Holland was greater, but he couldn't care about Holland now.

"Now there is only a state of emergency, and only the Prime Minister has this power." Norman Brooke directly picked up the phone, arranged for himself to meet with the Prime Minister, and then fluctuated the phone of the city government, "arranged for the city government to rule the evacuation of citizens on both sides of the Thames. "

"Can't we take the initiative to fight this flood?" Alan Wilson solemnly suggested.

"Alan!" Norman Brooke looked directly at Alan Wilson, but the latter didn't evade and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. "Well, if you can mobilize the citizens of London, you can participate."

"I always do bad things in the colony, and I should do something meaningful to make up for it." Alan Wilson readily accepted, and left Whitehall directly to report to the city government.

Two hours later, Attlee's cabinet announced by radio that the North Atlantic storm had caused the Thames estuary to flood the Thames. London is at risk of being submerged in seawater, the government has solemnly decided that the United Kingdom has entered a state of national emergency.

In the afternoon, it is the time when the tide is at low tide, and it is estimated that the tide will reach its peak at 4:00 in the morning. As the wind grew stronger and developed into a northwesterly wind, the waves on the sea became bigger and bigger, and more and more ships got into trouble.

The expected low tide has not happened, the water has reached as high as it was at high tide, and the tide has not yet come. Therefore, it is estimated that this will cause the water level to rise even higher during the tides. So, imagine what happens when hurricanes carry high water levels?

London has never been so lively since the war, with police officers in urban London, whistling and guiding mobilized people to the Thames, heavy trucks carrying tools to reinforce the embankment.

In London's East End, residents of the East End who suffered heavy casualties from a smog incident more than a month ago have been mobilized.

Alan Wilson is also among them. He is now by the Thames River, witnessing the flood that he only remembered when the incident came to an end. That is, London is the central city of the United Kingdom, and all decisions can be made immediately. War Not even a few years.

Even the smog incident in the past had a positive effect, otherwise the citizens of London would never have reacted so quickly.

With the faint sound of thunder, the heavy rain still fell on people, but the lights on both sides of the entire Thames River were brightly lit.

This may be something that has never happened in London. People kept chanting slogans and received enthusiastic responses from a large number of people. On this day, over 100,000 British citizens faced the sea water pouring down the Thames and walked on the dam and the struggle.

At this time, the English Channel wind has reached ten, and the tide is gradually rising. Radios all over London are reporting the situation on the Thames to every household in London. At this moment, the attention of eight million people in London is on the Thames.

The continuous broadcast by the government has brought the citizens of London back to the period of World War II~lightnovelpub.net~ but now London is no longer facing a German bomb, but a natural storm.

Citizens continue to come out of their homes and decide to participate in this fight against floods. Throughout the day, facing the inflow of higher and higher seawater, the dykes on both sides of the Thames are also getting higher and higher.

On the opposite side of the strait, the famous low country Dutch coastal embankment has been broken by sea water, and the coastal provinces of the Netherlands are already in a vast ocean.

In the early hours of the morning the tide was at its peak and the wind was at its highest, and the disaster struck, beginning with the dykes bursting, the coastal dykes being breached everywhere. Then the floodwaters flowed into people's settlements at such a rapid rate. Countless people in their sleep were swept into the sea.

Compared with the Dutch, London is lucky, the United Kingdom is not a low country, although the sea is poured in from the Thames. But it also happened to be attacking London, the most important city in the United Kingdom. The Attlee Cabinet, which had just passed the smog incident, no longer wanted to let the approval rate drop once, and took out measures during the war.
