The massive hull of the "Leviathan" superliner gradually appeared in people's sight.
The crowd erupted in cheers instantly; some waved at the liner from a distance, some raised small flags and waved them, while others shouted loudly and whistled.
Pershing gratefully glanced at Shire: "The two warships protecting the 'Leviathan' are France's 'Adventurer-class' destroyers, Admiral, thank you once again!"
"You're too kind, General," Shire replied, "It's our duty."
At the same time, he glanced demonstratively at Kitchener and Haig on the other side.
Hubbard chimed in: "What's more worth mentioning is that the protection Admiral provides us is free. We offered a subsidy of 1000 US Dollars per ship per day, but the Admiral refused."
"Really?" Tijani looked at Shire unexpectedly.
This didn't seem like Shire, who as a capitalist exploited every opportunity to gain from England, yet he was so generous to the United States.
