Rise of Australia

Chapter 323 One after another around the world

With the end of the Olympic Games, the enthusiasm caused by this event that has attracted the attention of the world for two months has quickly dissipated.

At the end of July, with the delivery of the first batch of 20 airships, people all over the world ushered in another hot news--the official establishment of airline companies in various countries.

Although the airship was only obtained two months later, foreign capitalists are not without action.

During these two months, they sent a lot of employees to Australasia to learn the driving skills of the airship, and strive to make the airship enter the operation stage after the official acquisition of the airship.

You know, the popularity of circumnavigating the world is gradually dissipating, and the airship ticket price is bound to get lower and lower in the future.

The sooner the airline can enter the operating state, the sooner it can eat this cake.

If it weren't for the limited production of airships in Australasia, I am afraid that global airlines around the world would spring up like mushrooms.

Of course, the problem of limited production of airships is not a problem for foreign airlines.Although there are not enough state-of-the-art airships that can travel around the world, this does not mean that there are not enough ordinary airships for domestic aviation!
In order to make the airline's business more developed, these airlines have established cooperation with their own domestic airship companies and purchased some of their own domestic small airships to expand their short- and medium-distance aviation business.

Especially the big power countries including the United States and the United Kingdom.There are already quite a few airship companies in these countries. With the establishment of various airlines, these airships have become the sweet pastry in the eyes of capitalists. They are snapped up by major airlines and used to expand domestic business. aviation business.

International routes and domestic routes between Europe, intercontinental routes between Europe and America, domestic routes in the United States, global routes across Europe, America, Africa, Asia and Australia, etc. These various routes are the major airlines in the world to expand their business main goal of .

After obtaining the airship from Australasia, several airship companies from Europe and the United States claimed to plan a round-the-world voyage to formally develop the airline's global voyage business.

In fact, this is also normal. After all, it has been more than two months since the last round-the-world voyage, and the heat is finally dissipating, and it won't last long.

If you want to keep the popularity of circumnavigation around the world and keep the ticket price of airships from dropping so quickly, you can only plan a new circumnavigation around the world to attract the attention of people all over the world.

According to the news reported to Arthur by Director Theodor, the airlines of the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Russia, Austria-Hungary and other countries all have plans to plan a round-the-world voyage.

But it is a pity that currently only the airlines of the United States, Britain and Germany have won the share of airships.

This also means that only the airlines of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany are currently able to plan global voyages.

It can be seen from the current number of airline companies in the major powers in the world that the domestic capitalists in these countries have already attached great importance to airships.

Even many European and American airship companies wanted to list on the Sydney Stock Exchange, but they were rejected by the Sydney Stock Exchange.

However, according to news from major stock exchanges in Europe and the United States, as of the end of July, there were at least 20 airlines worldwide, and even half of the 20 airlines had launched or planned to launch global voyages.

The airship has become the most concerned means of transportation in almost a short period of time.And sailing around the world in an airship has become a topic that is talked about all over the world.

Thanks to the influence of circumnavigation news, young people in many countries dream of taking an airship to travel around the world, and this is even promoted by many media and newspapers as the most romantic way.

Taking advantage of this momentum, many airlines publicized that proposing marriage in the sky is the most romantic way, and they even put out their own advertisements, offering [-]% off for couples booking tickets.

Facts have proved that no matter what era it is, women are easily carried away by so-called romance.

Facts have also proved that using romance to promote yourself is an effective way.Many airlines have won their first batch of passengers by virtue of such publicity methods.

In early August, following talks with Australasia, the round-the-world voyage of American, British and German airlines officially began.

Although not as popular as the round-the-world voyage organized by Australasia, the round-the-world voyage plans of these national airlines have indeed attracted the attention of many people.

Some airlines even use the gimmick of their first round-the-world voyage in China to use national pride to get the domestic people to support them.

It is precisely because of the popularity of global voyages and the public's curiosity about airships, a new means of transportation, that the stock prices of airship companies listed on major exchanges usually skyrocket several times.

Taking advantage of this wind, Arthur asked Kent Steward to set up Sydney Airline and listed it on the New York Stock Exchange.

As for why Royal Airlines is not listed, after all, Royal Airlines carries the word "Royal", which is not suitable for Arthur's next plan.

The registrant of Air Sydney is an ordinary Australasian, and in fact it is still controlled and managed by the royal consortium.

But Sydney Airways is only responsible for the airship business. In Arthur's eyes, this is just for the popularity of airships and to create a subsidiary company to make money.

This company is destined to be abandoned. After listing on the New York Stock Exchange, Arthur will gradually sell the shares of Sydney Airways, and completely distance himself and the royal consortium behind it from Sydney Airways.

If nothing else, taking advantage of the popularity of this round-the-world voyage, it is no problem to earn thousands or even tens of millions of Australian dollars after listing.

As for those American investors who may be cheated, it has nothing to do with Arthur.After all, Arthur is not the person responsible for Air Sydney, and Arthur has nothing to do with any future aviation accidents on the airship.

As time entered August, Australasia ushered in another blockbuster news, that is, the two Sovereign-class battleships built for Russia have been completed and officially entered the stage of sea navigation testing.

In the naval order signed with the Russians two years ago, a total of two Sovereign-class battleships and two Unified-class battlecruisers were included.

The two Sovereign-class battleships currently built are the Empress Maria and the Catherine the Great.

The Russians placed high hopes on these two battleships, which were to be equipped in the Baltic Fleet to strengthen Russia's naval strength in Europe.

The two unified-class battlecruisers Gangut and Sevastopol are also about to enter the intense construction phase. It is expected to be completed by the end of 1913 and delivered before the end of 1914.

After completing the Russian naval orders, the task of the Royal Shipyard will be much easier.

In addition to the two Sovereign-class battleships and two Unification-class battlecruisers from the Russians, the Royal Shipyard also has orders from the Chileans, including two Hope-class battleships, six Duke-class frigates and two submarines.

At present, the construction speed of Chilean orders is relatively slow. In a few months, the two submarines should be completed and delivered in time for mid-1913.

The completion of the six frigates may have to wait until the end of this year. In theory, they can be delivered to the Chileans by the end of 1913.

The highlight of the two Hope-class battleships, the construction time is the longest, but also the most labor-intensive.

If nothing else, the completion time of these two battleships will not be until the middle of 1914 or even the end of 1914, and the delivery will not even be until the end of 1915.

But no matter what, it is no problem to complete the delivery within the negotiated time.It just so happens that the efforts of building these two Hope-class battleships can be used to strengthen the Royal Dockyard's ability to build super dreadnoughts.

When the Australasian Navy is equipped with super dreadnoughts in the future, the construction will be smoother.

Speaking of Chile, in fact, with the last rubber crisis and lower coffee prices, several countries in the South American naval race have been exhausted.

The once rich and powerful appearance has disappeared, and there are even rumors that Chile wants to give up the two super dreadnoughts it ordered to ease its financial pressure.

Regarding such wind, Arthur expressed that he was not worried at all, and even wanted to laugh a little.

In any case, Australasia is currently a regional power, and its naval strength is enough to squeeze into the top eight in the world.

A country like Australasia is naturally not something that Chile can casually joke about.

If the Chileans dared to blatantly abandon this naval order, it would be tantamount to directly slapping Arthur and Australasia in the face, and it would directly give Arthur the opportunity and excuse to invade Chile.

Under the premise that Australasia occupies justice and justice, what if an aggressive war against Chile is launched?
What's more, at present, Australasia and the United Kingdom are getting closer and closer. Without the support of the United Kingdom, how can Chile be the opponent of Australasia?

This is the confidence of having enough strength. As long as the comprehensive strength of Australasia is far greater than that of Chile, Arthur will never be able to worry that the Chileans will go back on this order.

To put it bluntly, Arthur is also very greedy for the land in South America.Especially the black land in southern Argentina, which is one of the four major black lands in the world, is an excellent crop growing area.

If the Chileans gave Arthur an excuse, then Arthur would not mind taking the opportunity to extend his hand to South America to plot the black land in southern Argentina.

Chileans should not be so stupid. After all, no matter how difficult the finances are, they can borrow and borrow abroad.

Such things as blatantly breaking the contract are undoubtedly giving Australasia a reason to invade itself. I believe that the Chilean government should not be so stupid.

Historically, facing this predicament, the Chileans seem to have only sold the two warships under construction to ease their financial pressure.
