Scott proposed such an objective for a simple reason, to prevent the American Government from obtaining Boeing's aircraft technology.
As one of the earliest companies to believe that biplanes had no future, Boeing had already made some progress in the research and development of monoplanes.
Although only Arthur knew about the future development of Boeing, the current Boeing Company was still one of the famous aircraft manufacturers in the United States.
If it was possible to acquire Boeing's technology and completely deprive the American People of Boeing, even spending 10 million US dollars would be totally worth it.
Because for the United States to once again obtain the technology developed by Boeing, it would be impossible without investing tens of millions of US dollars in their own research and development.
