Scott's goal is simple: to deny the U.S. government access to Boeing's aircraft technology.

As one of the first aircraft companies to think that biplanes had no future, Boeing has made some progress in the development of monoplanes.

Although only Arthur knows the future development of Boeing, the current Boeing is also one of the famous aircraft manufacturers in the United States.

If they can absorb Boeing's technology and make the Americans lose Boeing completely, it will be worth spending even $10 million.

Because if the United States wants to acquire the technology developed by Boeing, it is simply impossible to develop it itself without investing tens of millions of dollars.

Moreover, it is necessary to take into account the cost of manpower and time, which will greatly reduce the time for the United States to obtain advanced aircraft and delay the progress of American technology in aircraft technology.

And given some of Boeing's strengths in aircraft design, the new generation of military aircraft developed would be even more powerful if Boeing's technology and Australasian Royal Aircraft Manufacturing Company's technology could be fused.

With Boeing as the designer and builder of these aircraft, Australasia's capabilities in aircraft development and production will be further strengthened.

This approach, which not only strengthens itself but also weakens the United States, is well worth it at a strategic level, even if it costs much more than Boeing's market capitalization.

"Relocation HQ?" William Edward Boeing was a little stunned. In his opinion, Boeing, as a military aircraft company, is definitely not a suitable business strategy to move the company's headquarters in a time of economic crisis.

Whether or not you can get an order from the military is definitely not decided by the address of the headquarters, in addition to the performance of the aircraft and the data on paper, it is also necessary to satisfy those military procurement officers.

If moving headquarters does not bring in revenue or revenue, it is not necessary in the view of William Edward Boeing.

"Of course." Scott smiled and nodded, explaining with a little meaning, "Introduce yourself, Mr. Boeing." My nationality is Australasia, and if Boeing is acquired by me, the headquarters will most likely go to Australasia.

Of course, I would welcome a trip to Australasia and enjoy the same salary as in the United States. Rest assured, Australasia's labor laws are also very well-developed, so there is no need to worry about jobs, and orders from the military are also endless. ”

Hearing that Scott was from Australasia, William Edward Boeing instantly understood the reason why Scott had requested that the technology and finished products and parts of the transferred aircraft not be sold without permission.

William Edward Boeing was a little surprised that his company could still compete on the national side, and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "Mr. Scott, can you tell me why you bought Boeing?" Or why did you end up with Boeing? ”

William Edward Boeing is not yet bold enough to think that his Boeing is the largest aircraft manufacturer in the United States.

The famous Wright Brothers was born in the United States, which also led to the fact that there are still many aircraft manufacturers in the United States.

Although some aircraft manufacturers are not as large as Boeing, this does not mean that Boeing is the only one in the United States.

There are many aircraft manufacturers of the same size as Boeing, or larger than Boeing, and Australasia can choose a larger company.

"Of course, I trust your R&D capabilities and technology." Scott smiled and explained, "Honestly, it was His Majesty's intention to buy them. His Majesty is optimistic about the future of Boeing and is willing to support you.

If you are willing to travel to Australasia, you are the second largest supplier of aircraft to the military, and Australasian aircraft technology is open to you. ”

Scott's promise is indeed true, after all, Australasia does not have a large-scale aircraft manufacturer for the time being, except for the Royal Aircraft Factory.

To put it bluntly, the current aircraft is very expensive. Moreover, the Australasian military did not look down on low-level aircraft, and the Royal Aircraft Factory gathered the aeronautical and kinetic talents that Arthur spent a lot of money to woo, and the aircraft of the Royal Aircraft Factory were definitely the most advanced in the world.

Although this is a good thing for the country's military side, it is also a disguised blow to the development of aircraft.

As a result, there is currently no civilian aircraft company that can be valued by the military, and Australasian private jet companies are basically small-scale.

William Edward Boeing naturally didn't know such an insider, and was still surprised by Arthur's importance to Boeing.

After all, Arthur is the monarch of a country, and he is also the monarch of real power. Australasia's development over the past two decades has been the envy of the United States, which has also made Arthur's name resounding almost all over the world, and he is recognized as the greatest monarch of the 20th century.

William II, who could compete with Arthur for this title, and Nicholas II were both defeated in the war, and Edward VII's reign was too short, and George V was forced to change his surname and was not supported by European royal families, which also made Arthur sit on this reputation naturally.

Although it doesn't add much to his influence, his popularity is indeed out.

Whether in Europe or the United States, Arthur's reputation is still very loud. Under Arthur's deliberate influence, Australasia was almost bound to Arthur.

When you mention Arthur, you think of him as the king of Australasia, and when you mention Australasia, you think that the king of Australasia is Arthur.

In this way, by binding to the state, the position of the royal family can become more stable, just like the British royal family in later generations, of course, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth.

When the royal family has become a national symbol, then the position of the royal family is the most secure. Although it may lose some power, it is the best way to ensure that the royal family's position is secure.

Arthur did not do this for himself, but for the sake of the next few monarchs and future generations.

As a monarch, it is definitely the priority to ensure the status of the royal family, and then to fight for the power of the monarch.

At the stage where Arthur is able to control, if the heir to the throne does not show too much ability, Arthur will carry out his plan to weaken the king's power as much as possible, and completely bind the royal family and the country.

By sacrificing the power of the monarch to make the position of the royal family more secure, the worst outcome is to be a rich man with no name, just like the British past.

Scott directly showed his intentions, and the person who made the choice became William Edward Boeing.

If Scott were an American, then selling Boeing was just a normal business move.

But if Scott was an Australasian man, the nature of the sale of Boeing would have changed directly.

Fortunately, William Edward Boeing was not a purebred American, but a German-American.

Of all Americans, German-Americans are probably the least favorable to the United States. Because in the previous World War, in order to participate in this world war, the US government mercilessly belittled the German government, which made the whole United States angry with Germany.

While this succeeded in getting all Americans to agree to join the war, it came at the cost of considerable injustice to German immigrants in the United States.

Americans' hatred of Germany was naturally transferred to those German-Americans.

During that special period, German-Americans did not necessarily live better than blacks, which also made German-Americans dissatisfied with the U.S. government.

Under such a choice, perhaps some purebred Americans will choose the patriotic way. But for William Edward Boeing, it was William Edward Boeing's goal to save his company and make it bigger and stronger.

Moreover, although Australasia was also an enemy of Germany in World War I, it did its best to ensure the interests and safety of German immigrants.

This is a completely different way of dealing with the United States, and William Edward Boeing is still very favorable.

Eventually, William Edward Boeing finally made up his mind, smiling at Scott, who was waiting for a cup of coffee, and said, "I'll admit you moved me, Mr. Scott." On behalf of Boeing, I agree to your acquisition and am willing to relocate Boeing's headquarters to Australasia.

I also hope that your promises will be kept, and that I am doing this for Boeing, not me. ”

Hearing that William Edward Boeing had agreed to the acquisition, Scott stood up with a smile, shook William Edward Boeing's hand, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Boeing." In Australasia, you will be treated with more respect and value than in the United States. ”

Scott was very happy to be able to acquire an already well-known aircraft manufacturing company like Boeing.

This not only represents a step forward in his meritorious service, but also means that he has successfully completed Arthur's mission, and even can be appreciated and received by Arthur.

This is the highest honour for an Australasian and a goal that many intelligence officers strive to achieve.

"In that case, Mr. Scott." William Edward Boeing looked at Scott and said something that stunned Scott: "I recommend that you acquire Douglas Aircraft Company, which will greatly strengthen Australasia's aircraft manufacturing capacity." ”

Douglas Aircraft Manufacturing Company, which has been a fading name in later generations.

Because in 1967, Douglas Company overextended the production of some aircraft products, which eventually led to serious problems in aircraft quality and capital chain, and finally was on the verge of bankruptcy, and was acquired and merged by MacDonald Aircraft Company to form McDonnell-Douglas Company, which is also known as McDonnell Douglas Company.

It is worth mentioning that McDonnell Douglas merged with Boeing in 1997, which created Boeing, one of the world's largest aircraft manufacturers.

Although founded in 1921 and acquired in 1967, the Douglas Aircraft Manufacturing Company has been a proud aircraft manufacturer for decades.

Douglas Aircraft hosted the world's second round-the-world flight, the first, of course, taking place in Australasia.

Historically, Douglas Aircraft was the company that hosted the world's first round-the-world flight and designed and built a large number of aircraft for the United States, especially the U.S. Navy.

The famous DC-3 transport aircraft is also considered to be the most important transport aircraft in the history of flight, which is enough to see the glory of the Douglas Aircraft Company in the 30s.

But now, as a company that has been around for less than six years, Douglas Aircraft is not in good shape.

William Edward Boeing obviously knew this, and since he had chosen to go to Australasia, it was natural to make some contributions to Arthur and enhance the importance of Boeing in Australasia by the way.

To be honest, Scott doesn't know much about Douglas Aircraft, after all, the company is not large at the moment, far less than the current Boeing.

Douglas's glory was still in the 30s, years before now. Until then, no intelligence officer would have paid special attention to this small company, which had only been established for a few years, even if it was working in the very important field of transport aircraft.

Seeing that Scott didn't know much about Douglas, William Edward Boeing explained: "Mr. Scott, Douglas Aircraft Company is a transport aircraft designer and manufacturer, and they have a lot of achievements in transport aircraft.

If you're looking to strengthen Australasia's aircraft design and build capabilities, you can't miss Douglas Aircraft.

And, their market capitalization has now plummeted, and you can buy the entire Douglas Aircraft Company for less than $100,000. ”

Hearing William Edward Boeing's explanation, Scott nodded with a smile and said without the slightest hesitation: "Thank you Mr. Boeing for the reminder, I will buy Douglas Company." Please also prepare for the relocation of Boeing's headquarters, and we will send a transport ship and corresponding personnel to help your company with the relocation of headquarters. ”

Although there is no actual understanding of the Douglas Aircraft Company, since it was strongly recommended by William Edward Boeing, it is completely fine to sell him a face.

Moreover, Australasia really does not have much research in the field of transport aircraft. It would be great if we could strengthen our strength in transport aircraft through the acquisition of Douglas Aircraft.

At worst, even if Douglas Aircraft doesn't have much strength, it's just a waste of $100,000.

$100,000 in exchange for a Boeing company dedicated to Australasia, and a capable aircraft designer, William Edward Boeing, was a sure bet for both Australasia and Arthur.
