In this day and age, the choice between airships and airplanes was a clear one, given the shock value and bomb load. Sheffield, although aware of the potential of airplanes, still chose airships as his current tool to secure contracts from the federal government. This is because

As a monopoly capitalist, he wants to squeeze out surplus value.

When the old industry is still valuable, if no other competitors emerge, the new technology would rather be kept as a reserve than take the risk of being pushed into the market. There are examples of this, such as the world's first jet airliner.

Later generations will only think that Boeing is the world's dominant company in the field of large passenger aircraft, but in fact, the world's first jetliner, the Havilland Comet, made its first test flight in Hatfield, England, in 1949. This aircraft was equipped with four

The Comet, a jet engine, is Britain's attempt to occupy the leading position in world aviation through a rapid development in the history of air transport. This aircraft will be put into use within three years and can carry 36 people in a sealed cockpit and fly at an altitude of 40,000 feet.

With a speed of five hundred miles per hour, it is much faster than any aircraft currently in use.

At the same time, the United States also has technical reserves for jet airliners. If the British had not been the first to introduce jet airliners to the market, the United States would not have followed suit. Instead, they would have used old-fashioned propeller airliners until jet airliner technology was fully mature.

Only then will they be considered for introduction to the market.

The potential of airships is definitely not as good as that of airplanes. In Sheffield's words, it is a high-tech tool that is in the sky and on the ground. The federal government can not believe in itself, but it cannot believe in the Germans who always use airships to bomb London. The Germans are the best.

of advertising.

After watching Secretary of War Lindley leave, Sheffield also took the girls onto the airship and left. He tilted his head and told the head of the bodyguard, "Before delivering them to the military, let these airships still in our hands go there tomorrow.

Toronto and Ottawa must be seen by Canadian citizens and let our drivers work hard. Canada's big cities are not very far away and are quite close to the border."

"Got it!" Jesra nodded and called two people over in front of the cabin door to tell them. An excellent bodyguard leader is always by the boss's side to ensure that he can respond immediately if anything happens.

On this day of good visibility in the Dominion of Canada, citizens of major cities such as Ottawa, Vancouver, and Toronto saw within a few hours a huge group of Zeppelins gathering over the city. The shark patterns on their skins were so ferocious.

It was so dazzling that some simple-minded people thought it was a group of German airships that frequently bombed London and crossed the Atlantic to come here.

Some sane residents know that this airship with a skin pattern does not belong to Germany on the other side of the Atlantic, but to the United States of America, which is connected by mountains and rivers to the Dominion of Canada.

There is no doubt that the Zeppelin group's visit to Canada gave the Canadian Dominion, which is currently participating in the war as a British Dominion, an unfavorable impression. After the airship group visited the second Canadian city, the Governor-General of Canada, William Patrick Albert, immediately

Contacted Washington, hoping that the United States could explain this sudden hostility.

We are currently in the middle of a world war. Canada is participating in the war as a dominion, and its elites are fighting bloody battles in Europe. If the United States has evil intentions at this time, this is a big deal.

The relationship between Canada and the United States is very delicate. There are independents and royalists. Compared with these traitors in the south, Canada in the early twentieth century had very sincere feelings for the British Empire.

Not to mention that the United States has strong sentiments about Canadian territory. This matter is not a secret at all. From the president to members of parliament, they have expressed at different times that Canada should be annexed and British power should be completely removed from the Americas. As long as Canada is still in the United Kingdom

A day in human hands is a permanent threat to the independent and successful United States.

America is for Americans. America's Monroe Doctrine began with President Monroe's military campaign to invade Canada. However, he later failed to defeat the British and burned down the White House.

Now that Canadian soldiers are fighting in Europe, the airship invasion has caused a headache for officials in the Canadian Dominion. Many Canadians who know history can recall that the last time the United States invaded, the United Kingdom was organizing an anti-French alliance.

time, and this time the airship invasion is another sign that the United States wants to take advantage of the opportunity to launch another attack.

William Patrick Albert's protest made Secretary of State Robert Lansing confused, and he expressed confusion that he wanted to find out. Later, he learned that Sheffield had made the move.

After knowing this, his headache became even worse. He had no means to communicate with Sheffield because President Wilson had a stroke. This stroke happened after he was re-elected, and it was also more serious. Like former President Alton Parker, President Wilson also had a speech impediment.

.

In fact, before he was re-elected, President Wilson had already suffered a stroke. Just because President Alton Parker could not be re-elected, everyone in the White House chose to conceal it. Moreover, the president's first stroke was mild, so it was easy to conceal it.

As for Sheffield and the United Company behind him, as the Secretary of State who was also a lawyer, Robert Lansing certainly understood what kind of behemoth it was, and as a comprehensive business company, the United Company became more and more powerful during this war.

Financial situation is rising.

The president of Concern Group took Edith Rockefeller and Louisa Morgan with him wherever he went, and was inseparable from members of the Rockefeller and Morgan families. He blatantly corrupted the social atmosphere, which in itself showed his strength.

"I just want to show the strength of the United States. Mr. Secretary, your work in the past two years is respectable. Thank you for your continued fight for navigation rights for the country and your protest against the British naval blockade of Europe. But protest cannot solve all problems.

It would be better to use more actionable means to deter when necessary." Sheffield held the microphone and smiled, "William Patrick Albert is now protesting against the federal government, which is a good thing. At least you will be able to do it next time.

Diplomatic work may be much smoother, isn’t it?”

"But the United States also needs to avoid joining the war." Robert Lansing lowered his voice. "In fact, the incident in the Persian Gulf, although it seems to be a relief, is also very embarrassing to the United States. In any case, you are indeed

Fight the British, even if it means forming a mercenary army in a private name."

"Even so, the British still separate my personal behavior from the position of the United States. It can be seen that while facing the Allied Powers, the British have no intention of causing us any more trouble." Sheffield replied with a smile, "That's true.

Do you think the British are omnipotent? If you want to be hostile to us outside the camp of the Allied Powers, you must immediately announce the merger of Britain and India, all Indians will receive the same treatment as the British, and use the huge manpower of British India. The British can do it

No? No! So this is a misunderstanding. As long as we say it is a misunderstanding, London will accept it immediately."

Political things are so dirty. If the United States and the Soviet Union were to fight a war without nuclear bombs, the two countries would show unprecedented goodwill and lower their attitude towards all countries, strong and weak, equally.

On this side of the American continent, both sides are explaining the misunderstanding, one side is apologizing, and the other side is expressing understanding.

At the headquarters of the Eighth Army in Kuwait, Brown held the telegram and wondered, "What does this sentence mean? The boss's words are becoming increasingly difficult to understand."

"Let me see? Is the theory of evolution real?" John Connor glanced at the telegram and understood the meaning above. "This sentence is the motto written by the boss to Lockheed after he acquired it. The weak will eat the strong.

Survival of the fittest, there is no reply from Japan, then they will be treated as Indians, the total number of captives is 208,000, find all the British prisoners, and the rest will be exposed to the sun in the open air camp for three days. After three days, they will all

Shot."

"We'd better explain the obvious killing of prisoners to a certain extent. Otherwise, I certainly believe that the boss will never let the Black Gold Company go, but we can't cause trouble for the head office, can we? I think it's better to start from the beginning

Religiously, think of a way. If this is an uncontrollable religious vendetta, it will be much better than killing prisoners." Brown pinched his chin and said, "This way, even in the future, European countries will be embarrassed to do anything to us. Spain

The Inquisition back then could learn from this."

"Where is the time to burn them one by one?" John Connor frowned and smiled bitterly, "burn them one by one, won't those prisoners resist? Let's use bullets quickly."

"All we need is a name!" Brown tilted his head and said, "Anyway, the responsibility for this cannot lie with us. It was a spontaneous move by Christians in the Middle East, but it was caught up by the Indians."

At the end of January 1916, after a long period of torture and identification, nearly 200,000 British and Indian Army prisoners were shot and expelled by Christian militiamen who suddenly broke in at dozens of open-air prison camps on the west coast of the Persian Gulf.

All the prisoners of the British soldiers fell in a pool of blood in the hail of bullets.

Faced with this kind of killing, countless captives wanted to escape and ascend to heaven but were unable to do anything. Under the secret order, the value of a life was ten dollars, so the Christians who took action showed no mercy.

The corpses were pulled out one by one, and crosses were erected on the coastline. The corpses were nailed to the crosses, forming hundreds of kilometers of road signs. This religious vendetta with strong colors shocked people.
