Realizing the severity of the situation, Ledley's first reaction was to deploy troops to support the Financial City. But before he could issue the order, he found himself in a dilemma.
Deploy troops, but where are the troops now?
No matter whether it is the elite forces or the irregular troops, all have been dispatched for emergencies at this moment. Even the bow street patrolmen reserved for backup have been sent to Greenwich.
Currently, he only has a handful of stationed officers who barely escaped from riot areas, and even if he gathers all of them, there are only about twenty or thirty.
As for the dozen or so office staff who are handling urgent communications from various police districts in the first-floor hall, regardless of their combat effectiveness, if Ledley were to deploy them now, who would handle any special police situation that may arise later?
