Chapter 982: The Peak of American Power

As soon as I got on the plane, I fell asleep. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The flight lasted only more than two hours, Han Xuan didn't go to his bedroom, and after asking the flight attendant for a soft alpaca blanket, he covered himself and slept beautifully for a while.

He killed an unknown number of small monsters in his dreams, and he was recently conceiving a Star Wars-type science fiction novel, so he often dreamed of these strange things.

Some of the plots he dreamed of gave him a lot of inspiration, and he was able to use them in the new book, Han Xuan already had a general idea of creation, but he didn't have time to write recently......

I don't know how long it took.

When he was woken up by Owen, he stretched and asked, "We're in Washington, D.C."

"Well, you look out the window.

That tall building is the Washington Monument, right?"

Han Xuan probed and saw the white building that was like a sword, straight into the sky, and said, "It's the Washington Monument......

This time, the plane was going to land at Washington's Ronald Reagan National Airport, just across the river from downtown.

During the descent, you can see the main landmarks east of the river, including the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the White House, Capitol Hill, and more.

The Jefferson Memorial is also there, he is the third president of the United States, and the old man still hid a bottle of red wine signed by Jefferson, saying that he would drink it when Han Xuan came of age.

In the distance west of the river, you can see a regular pentagonal building, which is the seat of the U.S. Department of Defense.

The parking lot outside the Pentagon was full of cars, at least 5,000 of them, in addition to all sorts of helicopters, and in the future in 911 it was not only the World Trade Towers that would be hit by a corner.

A few minutes later, the plane descended and landed smoothly on the runway, inside the cabin, and those goblets on the shelves swayed slightly from side to side.

Han Xuan looked out the window again, and his first impression was that the sun was shining brightly and the sky was blue, and then he found that there were a large number of planes.

The tarmac is home to a number of private, government-specific aircraft, including the presidential plane, Air Force One.

In addition, you can also see some planes with FBI, DOC, DOS, DOT, DOJ, and DOD, which are owned by the FBI, the U.S. Department of Commerce, the U.S. Department of Transportation, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the U.S. Department of Defense.

In addition to the bigwigs of various departments, some special groups also have special business aircraft, such as the Naval Criminal Investigation Service, the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and so on.

Because of its proximity to the political center of the United States, Reagan International Airport is busy with more than 10 million people a year.

Han Xuan looked around, but he didn't see a more luxurious plane than his own, and said that he was not proud in his heart, it must be fake.

After taking the animals off the plane and waiting for all the cars to drive out, he listened to the bodyguards say that the Ferrari 250GT was too dangerous to sit in.

Immediately retorted: "What's the danger, it can still run!"

"President Kennedy was assassinated when he was sitting in an open-top car......"

Jason used a simple example to block Han Xuan so that he had nothing to say, and could only justify it stupidly: "I'm not the president, why did they assassinate me." ”

"There are so many benefits.

For example, Ruihui is likely to get a patent for Viagra, which could be worth billions of dollars.

If you're not there, other Internet companies can also have the opportunity to compete with products like WOW and Destiny, which means at least tens of billions of dollars.

If the SOS Group does not have a suitable heir, and the company is handed over to your father in the future, they will have a chance to take advantage of it......."

Secretary Dawson said a lot of things calmly, and after listening to it, even Han Xuan felt that if he was his enemy, then it would be a very good idea to let himself disappear.

He stopped rambling and complained, "Why did you let me bring this car here when you already knew?"

Gabriel opened the door of the Ferrari and sat in, raised his head and smiled: "You can sit in the bulletproof car and watch me drive, and I will help you move this car." ”

"Damn, you slut!

Even if you scratch a little paint, I'll sue you for bankruptcy......"

========

I made a call to the old man.

Knowing that he had just gone to the airport from downtown Los Angeles and would take more than two hours to arrive, Han Xuan was idle and bored, and planned to go to downtown Washington to have a look first.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the temperature is about 8 degrees Celsius, and because there is no wind, I feel much more comfortable than when I was in the snowy mountain pasture.

Ronald Reagan National Airport is located southeast of Washington, D.C., just across the Potomac River.

After leaving the airport, the convoy drove onto the road and then crossed the bridge to the city.

The scenic spots in Washington, D.C. are very concentrated, and the city area is not too large, Han Xuan turned his head to look out the window and admired the buildings on the roadside, and he could feel the beauty of modern architectural art.

Despite its short history, the United States has absorbed the cultures of various countries, preserving large tracts of green space and parks in the city, covering more than half of the city's green area and buildings nestled among trees.

In contrast, Han Xuan remembered that in Yanjing for a certain period of time in the future, except for those ancient royal buildings, there were few truly modern buildings that could be mastered.

Later, with the change of aesthetic concepts, peculiar buildings such as the Bird's Nest, Galaxy SOHO, Wangjing SOHO, and the National Center for the Performing Arts appeared, making the city rich and colorful.

A modern political, financial, and cultural center city should have its own characteristics, since there is so much money to build buildings, why not invite a few good designers......

At this point in time, there weren't many vehicles on the streets of Washington, D.C., and the first place to arrive was the Smithsonian Institution.

As the world's most famous association of museums and galleries, it has more than a dozen galleries and museums lined up around the National Mall in Washington.

In total, the federation has more than 100 million items, so many that it began to make Han Xuan wonder if they were really that valuable.

For example, Raphael's "Portrait of a Young Man" found from the home of an old Nazi has a market value of nearly 100 million US dollars.

With so much cash in hand, you can make more money, but art doesn't appreciate as quickly.

In addition to the malicious hype of merchants, perhaps it exists more as a store of value like gold.

In Han Xuan's view, except for some national treasure-level cultural relics, the real value of other antiques that have survived in the world is not so high, and they cannot guarantee that they can maintain their value.

I don't have time to go in and enjoy it slowly, and when I have the opportunity to bring Anya next time, she should like it here.

Han Xuan's motorcade circled the National Mall in Washington.

Then came the Capitol Hill, which was built on a high ground about 25 meters above sea level, and also did not come close to see it.

Between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial, there is a 400-meter-long, 50-meter-wide artificial pond called Mirror Lake, and north of the obelisk is the White House, the president's office.

Han Xuan got out of the car to buy a hot dog, and Fat Ding also soaked urine on the outer wall of the White House.

The White House was once not white, it was burned down by the British during the Anglo-American War in the early 19th century, and later painted white to cover up its ugliness.

And just like that, two hours passed in a hurry.

When I came to this city that is currently the center of world politics, it was as if I had seen something, and as if I had not remembered anything, and returned to the airport again to pick up the old man.

Han Xuan didn't know what would be waiting for him in the afternoon...... (To be continued.) )
