"London is facing an extremely difficult situation right now, with the perpetrators of random killings yet to be found.
Danger can happen to each of us at any time.
If you have any news, please report it as soon as possible through the software called Magic London.
If the information you provide is true and valid, the government will provide certain rewards in the future.
In addition, only that app is reliable. Even if a government employee needs you to go to a nearby police station because of your report, the message must be received from Magic London.
In addition, citizens who have learned magic, please trust the government and report the magic you have learned on Magic London.
Finally, I am here to implore every Londoner, we need your help, only unity can get us out of these difficult days. "
This is the way London has come up with, to control everyone through technical means.
More importantly, the London government discovered that magic would become less powerful as the number of users increased.
The power of the magic network is limited, just like wifi is used by many people at the same time, the network speed will be very slow.
"Sir, may I ask when the government learned about this news, and how long did you hide this news?"
"We need the truth!"
"Has magic always existed in England? Please face this question head on!"
"Does the government know the root cause behind this phenomenon? If so, please inform the general public!"
"Sir, will you take responsibility for this magical serial murder incident and resign?"
After Boris finished speaking, he turned around and returned to No. 10 Downing Street. The reporters obviously would not let him go so easily.
Almost all reporters were rushing forward, trying to break through the wall of security personnel.
The microphone amplified their problems and poured them into Boris's ears.
He was already walking at a fast pace, but he walked even faster after hearing the last question about whether he would take the blame and resign.
For political animals, maintaining their authority is the number one priority.
Politicians who put on a show care far more about their position than politicians who rely on the legacy of their ancestors or their own abilities.
Because when they leave their position, they lose their authority.
The other two types of politicians can still exert a certain degree of influence even if they leave their positions, even more than when they are on stage.
...
"Boris first announced: Due to magical anomalies, London will implement temporary closed management"
"London? Everyone can use magic? It's true!"
After Boris delivered his speech to all the media, the major media could not wait until the next day to get the news.
The editors behind the scenes are already working hard to announce this matter as soon as possible.
At the same time, TV media such as Sky TV and BBC have already temporarily interrupted the live broadcast of the press conference.
The number of live broadcast viewers exceeded 10 million, and the news quickly spread.
All Londoners are unmotivated to work, and social media is exploding so fast that it’s hard to see.
For the citizens of London, the unrealistic feeling of watching their unconventional Prime Minister perform magic in front of guns and cannons is indescribable.
It feels just as unreal as your dog suddenly speaking human language.
"The city of London is an anomaly? London allows everyone to cast spells? Is today April Fools' Day?"
"Why don't we know about it until today? What was the government doing when the first magic killings happened?
Similar incidents have happened more than ten times before they were made public? "
"Someone has to take responsibility for this. Number 10 Downing Street needs a new owner."
Social media in England is awash with attacks on this government.
Magic also tore off his tender side in front of the Blue Star people.
Zheng Li previously raised the threshold for magic very high. A high threshold means that magic is a "game" for a few people.
There are about fifty mages around the world, and things are still under control.
At the same time, with such a high threshold, the way to obtain magic requires extremely high requirements for mathematics and astronomy.
The two points are superimposed, and those who can learn magic are all on the lists of various governments.
According to the previous magic system, if someone uses magic to commit a crime, it is easy to locate them.
And the semi-random approach like London, coupled with the ultra-low threshold for everyone to learn magic, makes things bound to lead to chaos from the beginning.
When super powers become rampant, not everyone can restrain their inner desire to do evil.
Especially when he discovers there are no consequences and is almost never discovered.
“Welcome our Chief National Security Adviser for England: Mr Stephen Lovegrove.
You are very welcome to come. Today Mr. Lovegrove and I will discuss in detail about this magical event in London.
Mr. Lovegrove, you wouldn’t mind if I just called you Stephen, would you? "
It was Andrew Marr who said this, and the two were in the BBC live room in London.
This is a flagship high-end interview column produced by the BBC.
Stephen also came out to explain some issues for the current English government.
The entire England and even the Europa League are targeting No. 10 Downing Street.
Boris could no longer bear the pressure, so he sent Stephen to participate in this talk show to see if he could reverse the current completely unfavorable public opinion pattern to a certain extent.
"Okay, Andrew, it's nice to meet you. I've heard of Andrew Marr's interview for a long time.
I originally thought that I would never have the opportunity to be on such a high-end talk show in my life.
It's like I often watch "Sherlock" and then receive a call from the director of the show:
Hello Stephen, Benedict has been ill recently and cannot continue playing Sherlock. The next season of "Sherlock" will be yours. "
Andrew laughed: "Although your boasting makes me feel happy, because this magical incident concerns all of us London citizens.
So I won't go easy on you during the rest of the interview. "
Stephen shook his head: “I am telling the truth, not trying to bribe you with words.
Please trust my integrity as National Security Advisor. "
Andrew disdained the integrity of politicians in his heart, but on the outside he pretended to believe the other party.
Hosts also need acting skills, especially when the interviewee or program guest suddenly goes crazy. A host without acting skills can easily lose control of his expression.
Stephen Lovegrove served in this administration for ten years.
In 2013, he was the Permanent Secretary of the Department of Energy and Climate Change. In 2016, he was the Permanent Secretary of the Department of Defense. He will serve as the National Security Advisor until 2021.
He made similar remarks that year: China poses a challenge to England's national security.
Therefore, he was named and criticized by China.
Andrew said directly: "Since you are so confident, I won't be polite. All I asked today are the issues that London citizens are most concerned about.
The entire London has been closed, and all outsiders can no longer enter London.
The majority of London citizens are actively cooperating for the safety of the city.
They should have the right to know. "
The gray-haired Stephen nodded and said, "Yes, I will tell you everything I know."
Andrew asked: "First of all, when did the London City Government know that there were magicians in London who were not under the control of the government?"
Stephen: "At the end of last year, the water element made a big splash at the Kechuang Biotech press conference. There is no difference between the time we know and the time you know."
Andrew: "Then when did you know that everyone can learn magic?"
Stephen looked thoughtful, and after a moment: "About half a month ago."
Andrew: “Why wasn’t it announced then?”
Stephen explained: “We hoped to have a complete solution before announcing it.
You must know that London is a city with a population of nearly 10 million.
Not everything needs to be announced, we want to keep things under control. "
Andrew smiled: "So you lost control in the end, and you only announced the news after you lost control, right?"
This BBC program was specially arranged by No. 10 Downing Street to shirk the blame.
But it doesn't mean that the BBC will definitely cooperate with them. From the BBC's perspective, letting you come on stage is already helping you out.
As for whether it can change the direction of public opinion, it depends on the ability of the people you send.
Originally, the BBC thought that Boris would come in person, but in the end they just sent Stephen.
Maybe the BBC will buy Boris's advice and not ask too sharp questions.
Unfortunately, it was Stephen who came, and Andrew was walking at his own pace.
Stephen: "The matter is not completely out of control. The reason why we chose to announce it is because we need the help of the general public in London."
Andrew's face was full of shock: "Double digits of London citizens have died, and the city of London has been locked down, but it's not out of control?
So what does it mean to be out of control? "
He somewhat admired the other party's shamelessness.
In fact, the program "The Andrew Marr Interview" also has something to do with China. In 2020, the Chinese Ambassador to England appeared on this program.
You can still see this news when you go to the official website of the Ambassador to England.
(That is, in this news, it is said that this talk show is a high-end flagship talk show.)
There was no trace of embarrassment on Stephen’s face: “Yes, it’s too early to talk about losing control.
Magic is a completely new topic for Blue Star.
No matter which city in Blue Star the magical anomaly in London occurs in, people who have learned magic cannot avoid using magic to do evil.
This is not the incompetence of the London government, but the confusion of human beings who have just begun to face unknown things.
But we have now found a direction, and the reason why we announced it is to prevent similar incidents from happening again. "
When you are being criticized, the classic saying is to pull out the other person, who also did not do well, and blame them together.
Or maybe he did worse than me, why not blame him first?
The biggest flaw in this kind of rhetoric is that others are targeting you now, so what does other people have to do with this matter?
Andrew knew he couldn't continue to be so aggressive, so he asked in a different direction:
"When did you know that this random death all over London was related to magic?"
Stephen became more vigilant and said cautiously: “I only found out recently, probably ten days ago.
Because I remember that the London City Government issued an announcement saying that everyone should try not to go out at night, and single residents must remember to lock their doors and windows. "
Andrew asked: "Why didn't the truth be announced at that time?"
This question was unexpected by Stephen. He had been prepared before coming: "Because we want to catch the murderer. If we announce the news rashly, we may alert the snake."
Andrew is still sharp: "So you didn't announce it, you didn't alert the snake, but you still haven't found the murderer.
Abnormal deaths continue to occur.
During emergencies, you neither protected the lives of London citizens nor guaranteed everyone’s right to know. "
Stephen finally felt something was wrong, and he thought to himself, why are you so aggressive? No one told me before I came that I would have to face this kind of torture.
Boris made it clear at the time that the talk show would be relaxed and enjoyable.
“A lot of things don’t necessarily go as people want.
Especially things like magic that we have never been exposed to before. "
Andrew seemed to have grasped the opponent's handle again, and he said: "Let's watch a video."
Boris's face appears in the video, also in front of No. 10 Downing Street.
Stephen realized something was wrong.
Then I heard Boris saying in the video: "The government knows the existence of magic, and there are magicians in England who take orders from the government."
This was after Zheng Li made a big fuss at the Nobel Prize Ceremony in Stockholm, and people in England smashed the windows of No. 10 Downing Street during a demonstration.
A video of Boris saying it himself when he came out for an interview.
Of course, No. 10 Downing Street will also face angry people today, so the security measures in Downing Street today are much higher than usual.
"Obviously as early as four years ago, we had our own magician.
Magic is indeed new to ordinary people, even if we have seen Merlin perform.
Magic is still far from reality.
But that doesn't mean magic is far away from the British government and No. 10 Downing Street.
Magic is nothing new to you.
We even have our own magicians at our beck and call. "
Stephen was already sweating. It was the first time that he felt so hot in London in spring.
“The magic that appeared in London this time is different from the magic we knew before.
It can be said that they are two completely different things.
Magic in London is indeed something new. "
Andrew asked: "Can our magician cast spells?
Can they learn the magic of London? Like the Prime Minister performing in front of reporters? "
Stephen nodded and said, "Okay."
After he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong because this should not be revealed to the outside world.
In a sense, this is classified.
But now it is a live broadcast, and all the staff in charge of magic-related matters in all major countries are watching this program.
Stephen realized that it could be over, that the leak of confidential information could be big or small.
But now I am worried that I can't find anyone to take the blame, and I am very likely to be sacrificed.
Andrew looked directly at the other person and asked: "Can two different systems of magic be compatible?
I'm afraid this is not common sense. "
