In the garden open space of King St. George's Palace, the hereditary nobles, ministers of the royal government and the party leaders of the lower parliament surrounded their king St. Joe VII, looking solemnly at the civil airship of the Taiping Society suspended in the sky, about 500 meters above the ground.

This is exactly what Count George Mars ordered his servants to assemble from several huge boxes brought down from merchant ships when he left the port of Wudu.

In any case, hearing is false, seeing is believing.

Seeing the physical display in the telegram sent back by Count George Mars before arriving on the mainland, King St. Joe VII finally let go of most of the suspicions in his heart about the earl.

"You mean, the Eastern Taiping forces that broke through Nagara."

"There's a 'Behemoth' war airship that's ten times bigger than the one you showed?"

The king's incredulous words made the eyes of the nobles present look at Count George Mars.

Count George Mars himself noticed that the negative emotions in the eyes of the magnates who looked at him this time had quietly decreased a lot of the negative emotions that had been carried in the eyes of the magnates who had despised the outcasts.

Because they knew that if the eastern forces that conquered Naga really had such powerful weapons of war, then if any of them were replaced as governors of Nagar, the final result would be no exception.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"The airship given to me by the Oriental Taiping Society is just an ordinary civilian airship for them, 31 meters long, with a suitable altitude of 1,000-1,500 meters, a flight speed of 55 kilometers, and a load of 450 kilograms."

Count George Mars, who had been released by the Peace Society, had already understood this on the way to the journey, and immediately explained it skillfully after hearing the king's questioning.

The data of civilian airships is very, very general in the eyes of Hong Tiangui and other high-level members of the Taiping Society.

This small airship, itself made to replace the private cars and pickups of the modern society of the Celestial Empire, with a payload of 450 kilograms and the ability to fly regardless of the terrain, makes it widely used by the people in the territory of the Taiping Society.

When Count George Mars said this, he paused deliberately, and looked at the hard-line military generals in the elite crowd in front of him, who had been hostile to him at first because of his abandonment.

After seeing their frowns now, he sneered in his heart and continued.

"The 'Behemoth' war airships are all more than 130 meters long, 6,000-10,000 meters in height, 97 kilometers in speed, and more than 120 tons in load······"

The data of the "Behemoth" war airship in the earl's mouth was the detailed data of the first-generation war airship they developed in the early days after discussion and the Taiping Military Committee decided to sell it to the old continent of Obarro.

Whether it is in terms of size, lift-off height, load and other data, the foreign trade-type "giant beast" war airship is completely backward behind the third-generation giant beast war airship currently installed by the Taiping military.

If the Count could still maintain basic composure when the Earl began to explain the data of the civilian airship, then the data of the "Behemoth" war airship, as soon as it was exposed from the mouth of the Count of Mars, immediately made the magnates around King St. Joe VII can't help but exclaim in a low voice, making the scene a little chaotic for a while.

On the contrary, King St. Joe VII, who was standing among the magnates, remained calm, and did not pay attention to the slight confusion around him, but turned to ask the nearest military dignitaries in military uniforms beside him.

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

"Tell me, will our army be able to defeat the war airship in the earl's mouth?"

The king's question instantly put an end to the confusion around him, and the generals of St. George did not answer immediately, but discussed them in low voices, and then the highest-ranking of them, Admiral David Beatty, came to the king and gave an explanation.

"Your Majesty, if we can find out the location of the airship in advance in the war."

"Then we, St. George's army, have the confidence to destroy the enemy's behemoth airship on land."

Admiral David Beatty's words made all those present in the know can't help but roll their eyes.

This is also for you, the gas that provides buoyancy in the airship of the Taiping Society is the "hydrogen" that can be burned, and this news has long been mentioned in the information sent back by Count George Mars.

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

But after all, the airship has the word "fly", and the enemy commander is so idiotic, will he let the airship be put on land to fight you?

However, Admiral David Beatty was only accustomed to say a few words first, and after the scene was finished, he still expressed the judgment of the military to the king and the magnates of St. George.

"But if we are directly attacked by airships."

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

"And our best artillery is the 'Longbow 87mm Bronze Rapid-Fire Cannon' of the Grand Fleet of the Navy, although its maximum range is more than 8 kilometers, the effective range that can be aimed at is only 2 kilometers······"

"In addition, if the war airship takes advantage of the cloud cover to drop bombs directly at an altitude of more than 8,000 meters, we will have no ······ at all."

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

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

In the face of the Taiping Society's "Behemoth" war airship air raid, the current Kingdom of St. George's Britain, whether it is the large fleet of the navy or the hundreds of thousands of royal armies, can only fall into a situation of passive beating.

Of course, if the situation is really bad to a certain extent, St. George Britain will definitely take out the powerful transcendent props left by their transcendent ancestors in the theocratic era to suppress the country's luck, but the powerful props of that level can be said to be used less once than once in the current era of the end of the law.

Therefore, all the St. George powers present did not count the power of those things in the battle against the airship by default.

At this time, the civilian airship in the sky slowly descended, and several young people in black robes walked out of the cabin of the airship under the leadership of an old man wearing a six-pointed star necklace and a purple alchemy robe.

It could be seen that this bald and rich old man had a high prestige in front of the magnates, and as soon as he came, the magnates of St. George stopped whispering.

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

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

"Can we, St. George, replicate this flying creature?"

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

The bald old man's name was Newton Kellip, a very erudite alchemist who was extremely rare in his time, and was also the teacher of His Majesty's ancient occult course in his youth.

"Your Majesty, Count George Mars is right in the intelligence."

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

The bald alchemist Newton Kellip slowly continued with a wry smile to the powers in the kingdom in front of him······
