Under the watchful eyes of all the British, the spacecraft slowly glided less than a hundred meters before it began to lift off.
The two astronauts on the TV were probably the most boring. They only appeared on the TV for less than two seconds when the spacecraft lifted off.
The twelve soldiers in the cargo compartment snapped up the screen.
The Martian spacecraft was different from ordinary spacecraft because it had sufficient power and did not need to go straight into space like a rocket.
Instead, it flew into the air like an airplane and rushed into space at a very high speed under the surging power.
It took only ten minutes for the spacecraft to reach the United States. The soldier in charge of the speech heard Sunday's voice in his headset.
He stood up and pointed to the special glass window and smiled at the spherical detector suspended in the cargo compartment.
"We are now over the United States. From here, we can clearly see the Great Lakes.
In another thirty seconds, we will see the Pacific Ocean. Then we will return to the Atlantic Ocean.
My team and my mission is on an uninhabited island in the Atlantic Ocean.
We will simulate an airborne landing and an emergency landing of the spacecraft.
The purpose of this operation is to rehearse the accidents of the Martian spacecraft on the Moon and Mars in the future.
I want to reiterate that this exercise is not targeted at any party. Please do not read too much into it. "
According to the introduction, the location of the exercise was on an uninhabited island more than three hundred kilometers away from the United States.
Most of the people watching could not help but smile knowingly.
Only the Americans who were watching TV were gnashing their teeth in anger. Many of them were cursing loudly.
But three hundred kilometers away was already out of the jurisdiction. At most, the Americans could only complain and protest a few times.
Since the spacecraft had been tested successfully, it would be strange if England bowed down to the Americans on this matter.
Especially after William asked Sunday, he confirmed that it was an emergency landing capsule modified from a predator's single-person space capsule.
After landing on the uninhabited island, the Martian spacecraft only needed three minutes to recover. Without the risk of leakage, William directly ordered the four soldiers in the cargo compartment.
Fully armed, they put on their battle backpacks and entered the landing capsule. They were directly projected out of the spacecraft in space and landed on the uninhabited island.
Two minutes later, "Bang, bang, bang." Four single-person landing capsules landed on the uninhabited island, raising a cloud of dust.
The spherical detector that accompanied them had been broadcasting the expressions and physical conditions of the four soldiers.
When the dust settled and the hatch opened, the four soldiers only felt dizzy for a moment. After confirming that they were fine, they excitedly waved at the live broadcast detector.
After saying a lot of things about how he felt and how his body was completely normal, he looked at the spacecraft that was descending to retrieve the landing pod.
The four of them and the other eight soldiers who landed on the ground with the spaceship had a limited encounter drill.
This made all the Englishmen feel proud. Some of the more thoughtful people quickly understood that if the manned space in the landing module was modified to carry weapons or even nuclear eggs.
In the future, it would only take 15 minutes for the spaceship to enter the space above the target to launch a landing capsule the size of a single bed.
The time it took to destroy the target was only 20 minutes to half an hour. Even the Americans could not achieve this kind of attack speed, so it was impossible for them to be shot down.
After today, probably no one would bare their fangs and fall out with England.
However, although William intended to strengthen England's influence, he also did not want England to become a troublemaker.
So, when the four-star general who had been following him was extremely excited, William warned,
"Although I don't mind opening up the right to use the spaceship to a limited extent, the control will only be in my hands.
If someone wants to use the spaceship to fan the flames, or directly have ideas about me and take the spaceship,
I promise to let them understand what decapitation is, what revenge is, not just for one generation, but for generations to come.
As long as I want, it will only take ten days for the spaceship to make a round trip and transport 50 tons of gold from the moon.
If it still can't warn those idiots, then wait until I build ten thirty-meter-long professional transport spaceships.
I guarantee that in less than a month, 1,500 tons of gold will appear in the hands of the capital world's opponents.
And a year later, 18,000 tons of gold will appear in the Blue Planet financial market.
The world's financial markets will become worthless because of this, and I will let all the capital watch their value plummet or go bankrupt. "
"This, this, this, this,"
Many people who had ideas about William were immediately stunned by William's description of using gold as a weapon.
Not to mention that ten spaceships produced 18,000 tons of gold per year, even if one spaceship produced 1,800 tons of gold per year, they would still be able to sell it.
The gold price, which had been slowly rising in the past year, would immediately plummet.
Although 1,800 tons was not a lot, it could not stop William from coming once a year, and even increasing the supply tenfold at any time.
Once gold was no longer rare, the market's confidence would be severely hit, and no one could maintain the gold price.
When the gold price plummeted, the value of the currency would also plummet.
Once the value of the large quantity of gold reserves maintained by the United States was reduced by more than half, the whole world would inevitably fall into a financial crisis again.
Some people were worried, and some people's eyes were shining.
At first, some people thought that this was another financial card in England's hands.
But with this idea, they wondered if they should spread the news of William's threat to everyone.
Maybe they could make a windfall in the futures market from the fall of the gold price?
As for what would happen in the future, these capitalists, who only cared about personal and immediate interests, could not care so much.
Otherwise, why would the world's officials encourage and protect capital on one hand, and guard against and suppress capital on the other hand?
There were really too many capitalists who only cared about personal interests. In the face of money, only a few capitalists would care about how the lives of ordinary people would be.
But William, who was also not a good person, would not stop these people.
On one hand, he also wanted the gold price to fluctuate and let people understand that he was just casually saying a few words and had not yet taken action.
When the news spread to the outside world, the market began to react, and the gold price fell.
If he really took action, would the power double, or even directly destroy the existing financial system, put all the capital world on the verge of bankruptcy, and go back hundreds of years or even hundreds of years?
On the other hand, as a member of the upper class of England, these people, whether officials or celebrities, were natural allies of William.
Even if some people might have a competitive relationship with William, this involved the interests of the whole group, and whoever stopped him was an enemy.
William would not do this kind of thing like an idiot.
Anyway, the matter of suppressing the gold price, before he directly shouted to the outside world and took action, there was still a lot of room for maneuver.
It was a warning to those who had ideas about him, those who were watching the show, and even his allies that it was related to their vital interests.
