The Rise Of Australasia

Chapter 370: Chapter 316: The Shock of Everyone_2

The wealthy businessman named John didn't rush to answer Daniel's question. Instead, he looked at the airship with admiration and th replied leisurely, "Alright, I admit that such a big guy is absolutely irresistible. If the Australasians succeed in their global voyage this time, I'm willing to invest 5 million US dollars."

This is actually the gap betwe the way the upper and lower classes view issues. While the lower-class people were amazed by the airship, capable people were perhaps already thinking about the pottial uses and value of the airship.

Within the range of Los Angeles, there are many capitalists who are paying atttion to this airship. Many capitalists who cannot make it to Los Angeles have also st subordinates or are also following news about the airship.

Once the airship's global voyage is truly successful, that is wh the airship's gold age will arrive, airship travel companies will spring up everywhere, tering the gold age of airship commerce.

After this day, a photo tak from the tallest building in Los Angeles wt viral in the United States and ev expanded to most parts of Europe.

The photo is actually very simple; since the city is not yet excessively polluted by industry, the sky appears a beautiful blue.

In the middle and slightly above the photo, an airship adorned with the pattern of the Australasian flag and royal emblem soars across the blue sky, beath it is the city of Los Angeles.

The usually imposing urban buildings seem so small in front of this massive airship. The airship is so huge that it seems to block out the sun and brings a tremdous shock to the tire city.

People in the city look up at the Dawn in the sky, while those on the airship look down at the not-so-prosperous city of Los Angeles from differt angles.

"Is this the city of the United States? It does not seem all that great."

With the seemingly small city before their eyes, some people couldn't help but express their disappointmt.

"You're standing too high, buddy."

One person's words brought everyone back to reality. It's not that the city isn't grand or prosperous, but they're standing so high above it that the city seems somewhat small.

Paring the view outside the airship window with the small city below, imagining the admiring gazes of the people in the city, the passgers on the airship can't help but feel extravagant and thoroughly joy themselves.

Luckily, the airship doesn't stay above the city of Los Angeles for too long. A giant like this is destined to land in the outskirts.

On the outskirts of Los Angeles, after negotiating with the American governmt, a flat airship parking area has be prepared. There are already quite a few American spectators and media gathered.

Ev the mayor of the city of Los Angeles, the governor of California State, and military officials are gathered near the parking area.

While the capitalists are assessing the value and role that the airship can bring, these politicians and the military are doing the same.

As for the common people, most of them are just watching the excitemt. After all, the parking area is the best place to have a close-up view of the airship, as it will dock here for some time for inspection and supply replishmt.

According to the agreemt with the American governmt, there will be six passgers aboard the airship in the United States to experice the global voyage.

Director Theodore has no idea that the six airship tickets in the United States have be hyped up to a price of ts of thousands of dollars, but they are still priceless in America.

Although they don't know who exactly has pocketed these six airship tickets, one thing is certain: anyone who gets ev one of the tickets is definitely either rich or prestigious.

Unlike the ordinary people, politicians and the military watch the airship, secretly noting something in their hearts.

Especially the U.S. military officials, who, upon seeing the airship, have already begun recording details, and ev writing more urgtly, showing a clear sse of urgcy in their eyes.

After the visit, the American military officials got into their military vehicle and hurriedly left.

Once onboard, the American Major spoke with unmistakable concern and urgcy to his subordinates, "Report to the Geral immediately, that the Australasians' long-range airship has become a weapon of sufficit threat. If such an airship is fully equipped with weapons, it will be able to cross any terrain limitations and reach any part of the world in an incredible way.

This will greatly strgth military power, not only for the transportation of strategic supplies but also for long-range bombing and assassinations."

With a bitter smile, the American Major mocked, "If the Australasians want to bomb Los Angeles, I'm afraid no one could stop them as long as they're in the sky."

His subordinates also understood the importance of the matter, so they quickly reported to the Geral as the Major instructed.

"Tell the Geral that the United States must establish an airship corps, which is both urgt and needs to be done immediately. The United States used to have the advantage of being sured by two oceans and didn't have to worry about threats to its native land.

But with the advt of such long-range airships, the United States' homeland is no longer safe unless we have a sufficitly powerful airship corps." Fearing that his report would not impress his superiors, the Major thought for a momt and added further.

He firmly believed that once European countries witnessed firsthand the airship that could travel a the world, they would definitely continue to promote the developmt of airships.

If the airship is designed to be a bombing weapon, it will become the first terrifying weapon in the world capable of covering a bombing range across the tire world.
