Journey Through the Plane of the Lord God

In the open space in the garden of the Royal Palace of St. George, the upper hereditary nobles, the ministers of the royal government and the party bosses of the lower parliament gathered around their king St. Joe VII, looking solemnly at the tower suspended in the sky, about 500 meters above the ground.

Taiping civilian airship.

This was exactly the Taiping creation assembled from several huge boxes that Count George Mars ordered his servants to move from the merchant ship when leaving the port of Fog City.

In any case, what you hear is false and what you see is true.

Seeing the physical display in the telegram sent back by Earl George Mars before arriving in the mainland finally made King St. Joe VII put aside most of his suspicions about the Earl.

"You mean, the Oriental Pacific forces that conquered Canada."

"Is there a 'behemoth' war airship that is ten times larger than the one you showed?"

The king's incredible words made all the nobles present look at Count George Mars.

Earl George Mars himself also noticed that when he looked at him this time, the negative emotions that originally carried the contempt for the abandoned people in the eyes of the various dignitaries had quietly diminished a lot.

Because they knew that if the eastern force that captured Canada really had such powerful war weapons, then if any of them were to serve as the governor of Canada, the final result would be no exception.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"The airship given to me by the Oriental Pacific Peace Society is just one of their ordinary civilian airships. It is 31 meters long. The suitable lift-off height is about 1000-1500 meters, the flight speed is 55 kilometers, and the load is 450 kilograms."

Count George Mars, who was released by the Taiping Society, had already known about this during the journey. After hearing the king's question, he immediately explained it skillfully.

From the perspective of Hong Tiangui and other senior executives of the Taiping Society, the data on civilian airships are very, very average.

This small airship is positioned to replace private cars and pickup trucks in modern society in the Celestial Realm. Its 450 kilogram load capacity and ability to fly regardless of terrain make it currently widely used by civilians in the Taipinghui territory.

.

When Earl George Mars said this, he paused deliberately and looked at the hardline military generals in the crowd of dignitaries in front of him who had always been hostile to him because of his abandonment of the land.

Seeing that each of them frowned, he sneered in his heart before continuing.

"The 'Behemoth' war airships are all over 130 meters in length, with a lift-off altitude of 6,000-10,000 meters, a flight speed of 97 kilometers, and a load capacity of more than 120 tons..."

The data of the "Behemoth" war airship that the Count referred to were the detailed data of the first-generation war airship that they had developed earlier and decided to sell to the Old Continent of Oparo after discussion by the Taiping Military Committee.

No matter in terms of size, lift-off height, load capacity and other data, the foreign trade "Behemoth" war airship is completely behind the third-generation Behemoth war airship currently installed by the Taiping military.

If the dignitaries of St. George present could still maintain their basic composure when the count began to explain the data of the civilian airship, then as soon as the data of the "Behemoth" war airship was exposed from the mouth of Count Mars, St. Joe VII immediately

The dignitaries around the king couldn't help but exclaimed in low voices, making the scene a little chaotic for a while.

On the contrary, King Saint Joe VII, who was standing among the dignitaries, remained calm and ignored the slight chaos around him. Instead, he turned around and asked the military dignitaries in military uniforms closest to him.

"General David Beatty, Lieutenant General Douglas Haig, and my other generals."

"Tell me, can our army defeat the war airship the count talks about?"

The king's question instantly ended the surrounding chaos, but the generals of St. George did not answer immediately, but discussed with each other in low voices, and then recommended the highest ranking among them, General David Beatty, to come to the king.

Make an explanation.

"Dear Your Majesty, if we can find out the landing address of the airship in advance during the war."

"Then our Saint George's army is confident that we can destroy the enemy's behemoth airship on land."

Admiral David Beatty's words made all the insiders present couldn't help but roll their eyes.

For your purposes, the gas that provides buoyancy in the Taiping Society's airship is combustible "hydrogen". This news has already been mentioned in the intelligence sent back by Count George Mars.

As long as a spark enters the airbag of the airship, no matter how powerful the airship was before, it will be completely destroyed by the burning hydrogen.

But airships have the word "fly" after all. Would the enemy's commander be such an idiot that he would let the airships land on land to fight you?

However, General David Beatty just made a habit of saying a few words first. After the scene was finished, he still expressed the military's judgment to the king and the dignitaries of St. George.

"But what if we were directly attacked by an airship."

"Dear Your Majesty, all gentlemen present, you must know that our best front-loading musket has a range of only 300 meters."

"And our best artillery is the 'Longbow 87mm Bronze Rapid-Fire Cannon' of the Navy Fleet. Although its maximum range is more than 8 kilometers, the effective range it can target is only 2 kilometers..."

"In addition, if the war airship uses the cover of clouds to directly drop bombs at an altitude of more than 8,000 meters, we have absolutely nothing..."

Although Admiral David Beatty's tone was very tactful, the meaning behind his words made everyone's expressions change again.

Even the best rapid-fire artillery in the kingdom only has a certain defensive effect against the civilian airships of the Taiping Society.

Facing the air attack by the "Behemoth" war airship of the Taiping Society, the current St. George's British Kingdom, whether it is the navy's large fleet or the kingdom's army of hundreds of thousands, can only fall into a passive situation of being beaten.

Of course, if the situation is really bad to a certain extent, St. George's Britain will definitely bring out the powerful extraordinary props left behind by their extraordinary ancestors in the theocratic era to suppress the country's fate, but powerful props of that level cannot be used in the current post-apocalyptic era.

It can be said that time is used once and less once.

Therefore, all the Saint George authorities present, by default, did not include the power of those things in the battle against the airship.

At this time, the civilian airship in the sky slowly descended. Several young people in black robes, led by the leader, a bald and wealthy old man wearing a six-pointed star necklace and a purple alchemy robe, emerged from the cabin of the airship.

Walked out.

It can be seen that this bald and wealthy old man has a high prestige in front of all the nobles. As soon as he came over, the dignitaries in St. George stopped communicating in low voices.

Even King Saint Joe VII, whose face was already ugly, did not continue to question his generals after seeing the old man coming.

"Master, have you discovered the secret of the airship?"

"Can we, St. George, imitate this kind of flying creation?"

The king took the initiative to step forward to greet the bald old man and asked in a respectful tone.

This bald old man's name is Newton Calip. He is a very knowledgeable alchemist, an extremely rare alchemist in this era. He was also the teacher of His Majesty the King in ancient mysticism courses in his youth.

"Your Majesty, what Count George Mars said in the intelligence is correct."

"The forces of the Taiping Society have no intention of hiding the secrets about the airship."

The bald alchemist Newton Calip, with a wry smile, slowly continued to speak to the powerful people in the kingdom in front of him...
