Chapter 357: A Balloon Blows Away the Eagle's Dignity
"God, what's going on?"
"Why did the dragon's weather balloon end up here?"
Kressman was amazed.
However, he also knew that this matter must be a big and eye-catching event!
As long as he takes a picture of this balloon and tells the story, it will definitely cause a global sensation.
Kressman looked for and adjusted the angle to take a picture of the balloon.
He has basically calculated the height of the balloon.
It is at an altitude of about 3 meters.
Balloons at this altitude are extremely rare.
The balloons that Klesman had seen could basically only fly a few thousand meters high.
Being able to fly over ten thousand meters is considered the limit.
But this balloon reached a flying altitude of 3 meters?
What is the concept of 3 meters?
We are approaching outer space.
This balloon is of very high quality!
The key point is, how did it fly here?
If you want to get to Canada from Julong, you have to fly thousands of kilometers.
Moreover, it looks like the balloon will continue to fly forward.
In two days at most, it will fly into the territory of the Giant Eagle.
The most surprising thing is: why didn’t the radar in Giant Eagle Alaska detect this balloon?
Isn’t the Giant Eagle known to have the best defense system?
Klesman heard that the Giant Eagle's radar could even detect targets a thousand kilometers away from its territory.
This balloon must have flown from Alaska!
Why didn’t the eagle notice it?
After taking the photo of the balloon, Kressman drove home immediately.
He had to go back and post the photos online as soon as possible.
In addition, he also has to write an article.
In addition to taking photos, Kressman is actually a good writer.
He usually posts works with accompanying text and pictures.
After Klesman returned home, he quickly turned on his computer and went online.
He first edited the photos and picked out the best ones.
Then he started writing articles.
In fact, it is just a picture with text.
He wrote about his discovery of the balloon.
He expressed his doubts: Why didn’t the eagle notice the balloon?
Why did the dragon's weather balloon fly to Canada?
After Kressman posted this Weibo, it quickly went viral.
Because it’s fresh content that’s being released for the first time!
So there are many more recommendations.
Soon, his blog post became the most popular.
In just over a minute, this blog post was viewed over 7 million times, forwarded over a million times, liked over a million times, and received over 100,000 replies and comments.
Moreover, the data is still increasing rapidly.
This is the power of Weibo today.
It has become a truly world-class online self-media platform.
Kressman was delighted.
Because he knew that this Weibo post could bring him at least 5 Canadian dollars in income! And he might even be rewarded.
Naturally, the increase in fans is inevitable.
Kleisman didn’t stay at the house long.
He quickly got some food and went back to tracking the balloon.
Because this is a huge source of traffic!
He absolutely couldn't let it go.
Kressman's blog post attracted close attention from all departments of Giant Eagle.
The Eagle Army was even more terrified.
Because they were surprised and frightened.
This is crazy!
Other people's high-altitude balloons have all flown over Alaska.
And then the Eagle Army found nothing?
This is so damn embarrassing!
Lewis, the head of the Eagle Army, called a meeting and demanded that the balloon be immediately investigated.
At the same time, he also communicated with the dragon.
The explanation from the Dragon side was: Our weather balloon went astray and lost control, so it ran to your place.
It was all an accident. Please don't make a fuss.
This explanation actually makes sense.
In fact, over the past many years, high-altitude balloons from the Lizard Kingdom, especially the Giant Eagle, would also fly to the Dragon.
They obviously have bad intentions.
After investigation, Julong found that there was no danger and basically let them go.
Now that the dragon's balloon has flown to you, shouldn't you be more tolerant?
Lewis found this explanation reasonable.
He planned to turn a blind eye and not take any action.
However, at this time, the Internet was already in an uproar.
This matter has become known to the whole world.
Most of the elites here at Giant Eagle are shouting:
“This jeopardizes our safety!”
"This is a serious provocation to us!"
"We must take it down! Otherwise, our defense loopholes will be exposed!"
"Fuck! Didn't we just announce the completion of the preliminary defense system for Star Wars? Why didn't this system work?"
"This must be a spy balloon!"
"The dragon is slapping us in the face! The whole world is watching! You can't just sit there and do something!"
Of course, in fact, most of the Giant Eagle people felt that the other party had already explained that it was just a weather balloon and there was no need to make a fuss!
They all felt that the Giant Eagle elites' reaction was a bit too big and that they were overly sensitive.
Of course, some people also mocked on Weibo: Giant Eagle keeps bragging about how strong their air defense capabilities are.
The result? They couldn't even find a single high-altitude balloon!
They are trash!
Rely on these people to protect us?
I don't think they can protect themselves!
Also, why not destroy the balloon immediately?
Don't you want to?
I don't think so, right?
God! The mighty Eagle is such a piece of crap.
They couldn't even handle a balloon.
But they actually thought that they could make giant dragons and giant bears surrender to them!
The whole world is boiling.
Naturally, the Eagle King noticed the news at the first moment.
His face was blue.
He thought to himself, what is this?
I just boasted that I could defend against all attacks. Not even a mosquito can get in.
It’s better now!
The dragon's face is getting bigger.
They themselves explained that the balloon was an accident.
Could it really be an accident?
They must have done it on purpose!
They are just slapping you in the face on purpose!
It is to test the ability of the giant eagle.
Therefore, at all costs, we must shoot down this balloon.
The Eagle King called a meeting.
Lewis would naturally be there.
Lewis is a close confidant of the Eagle King.
In fact, roles like his were conferred by the Eagle King.
"Lewis, what's going on with you guys?"
"That balloon is about to fly into our territory!"
"What do you want to do?"
Lewis was scolded.
He said with a wronged look on his face: "Your Majesty! We don't have anti-aircraft missiles that can reach such a high altitude."
"Moreover, our radar couldn't lock onto the balloon. It was just a tiny dot of light on our radar screen. It was quite difficult to hit it."
The Eagle King became even angrier: "Why don't you send fighter jets to get closer to fight?"
Lewis said, "We, our planes can't fly that high."
"The highest our fighter jets can fly right now is only 1.8 meters!"
"And the balloon was more than 3 meters high."
"Your Majesty, I really want to share your worries."
"But those guys, they're not strong enough."
Lewis said depressedly.
The Eagle King was a little unconvinced: "How is it possible?"
"Our planes can't even reach it?"
“We’ve tried,” Lewis said. “We can’t really hit it.”
The Eagle King frowned, he knew that Lewis would never lie to him.
"It's so embarrassing!"
“The whole world is watching us!”
"I guess the dragon is laughing at us too."
"This balloon, they are playing tricks on us!"
"Lewis, what do you think we should do now?"
Lewis said, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry."
"We can only pretend to be magnanimous now."
"We can only announce to the outside world that we have investigated and found that it is really just an ordinary weather balloon and poses no threat to us."
"Since there is no threat, then there is no need for us to take it down."
“This has two benefits.”
"The first one saved our face."
"The second one also showed his good will to the dragon."
"We have no other choice!"
The Eagle King sighed: "Waste!"
"A bunch of trash!"
"Now, they have found out our true strength."
"They know we were just bragging before."
"I guess many countries will no longer have the slightest respect for us."
The Eagle King had no choice.
Since Lewis said it can't be defeated.
Then it probably really can't be defeated.
Then you can only pretend to be magnanimous.
While the Giant Eagle was in chaos, the balloon was still slowly advancing towards the Eagle's territory.
Kressman chased the balloon every day.
He keeps posting the latest updates on Weibo.
Many other media and bloggers have also joined in.
The balloon was only three hundred kilometers away from the eagle.
The balloon was only a hundred kilometers away from the eagle.
The balloon has reached the border of the Giant Eagle.
The balloon finally entered Giant Eagle from the Great Lakes region.
After entering the Giant Eagle's territory, more people started chasing after the balloon.
Even the mainstream media of Giant Eagle are reporting on it frequently.
All kinds of conspiracy theories came out.
The fact that the Giant Eagle could not hit targets at an altitude of 30,000 meters has gone viral on the Internet.
The giant dragon, Wang Haoran was naturally also paying close attention to the balloon.
The balloon entered the Giant Eagle's territory and floated for another day.
The eagle still didn't make a move.
Wang Haoran said to the designer: "Leader, one thing is certain: they really cannot hit a target at an altitude of 3 meters."
"However, the elites in their country are clamoring even louder."
"They have made the balloon a great humiliation."
The leader said: "It is indeed a paper tiger!"
"Comrade Haoran, then, what should we do next?"
Wang Haoran said: "Lower the altitude of the balloon!"
"We need to test how high they can reach!"
The leader said: "It's best not to let them hit you."
“This is a huge humiliation for them.”
Wang Haoran said: "Even if they take it down now, they will still be the ones who are embarrassed."
"Leader, I want to test out the level of their air defense capabilities."
The leader said: "Then let's descend slowly."
"Lower them gradually, so you can tease them for a little longer."
Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Then, listen to the leader."
"A hundred meters per hour."
"Gradually descend to an altitude of 20,000 meters."
……
After the balloon entered the territory of Giant Eagle, Klesman also drove in.
There is basically no defense between Kama and Eagle.
People and goods can circulate freely.
In fact, Canada is a bit like a vassal state of Eagle.
Almost all of the economy depends on the Giant Eagle.
Klesman entered the territory of Giant Eagle and chased balloons with a group of people every day.
He discovered that the balloon seemed to be losing altitude.
Slowly decreasing altitude.
The Eagle Army's planes also roared into the sky from time to time, trying to monitor the balloon.
The balloon boom continues.
It seems that people all over the world are watching its fate.
Many people are waiting for a result: when will the giant eagle take action.
Is it possible that the giant eagle really can't do anything to this balloon?
After the balloon entered the Giant Eagle, it descended nearly 3000 meters in altitude on the first day.
Its height has dropped from more than 3 meters to 2.7 meters.
It is still moving southwards.
It is very likely that it will pass through the entire Giant Eagle and enter the Pacific Ocean within three days.
The Eagle King was very anxious.
I follow the information on Weibo every day.
Of course, detailed intelligence will also be sent to his desk.
That night, Eagle King saw the balloon descend to an altitude of about 2.7 meters.
He couldn't hold back again.
He called Lewis himself.
"Lewis, man, their balloon has descended to 2.7 meters."
"Could it be that we can't defeat them even at this height?"
Lewis is naturally following this matter every day.
He smiled bitterly and said to the Eagle King: "Your Majesty, our anti-aircraft missiles still can't reach it."
"Our fighter jets can't even fly near it."
“So, there’s still nothing we can do.”
The Eagle King said angrily: "Then just give me a specific height!"
"At what altitude can we shoot it down?"
Lewis hesitated, then said, "According to our assessment, to shoot it down, it must be below 2 meters."
"Only in this way can we approach with fighter jets and then launch anti-aircraft missiles to shoot it down."
The Eagle King was stunned: "What? If the enemy's bomber flies over our heads and drops bombs, will we be unable to fight back?"
Lewis hurriedly explained: "No, no! Your Majesty, balloons and airplanes are different."
"As long as we can get a lock, we have a chance to shoot it down."
"Balloons may be an exception."
The Eagle King shook his head and said, "I suddenly feel that our safety cannot be guaranteed at all!"
"We are too weak!"
"The dragon already has a stealth fighter!"
"Moreover, their stealth fighters can fly over 20,000 meters!"
"Does this mean that we can only passively take the beating?"
Lewis thought, if the other party really hit us, then we might not be able to do anything about it.
"Your Majesty, they dare not attack us."
The Eagle King frowned and said, "I don't know why you are so sure."
"For everything, you should always think from the worst perspective!"
"In short, this balloon has destroyed our dignity!"
"If I don't get it down, it will be a pain in my heart."
The balloon floated in Giant Eagle territory for three more days.
Finally, when it flew out of the eagle's sky, it had descended to more than 19000 meters.
This altitude is almost as high as the Giant Eagle's F16 fighter can fly. (End of this chapter)
