Ten minutes later, in the restaurant of the Ritz Hotel in London, Josie and Peggy Carter sat opposite each other.

The Ritz is one of the most exclusive hotels of this era in London, built in 1904 and has a sister hotel in Paris, also named The Ritz.

But now both hotels actually belong to Josie.

In addition to these two hotels, Qiao Xi is also buying high-end hotels in major cities in Europe and the United States, preparing to form a high-end international chain hotel group.

First, this can be a good business in itself, and secondly, it can also be used as Josie's intelligence station around the world.

Of course, it's enough for Josh to know about this kind of thing, and there's no need to show it in front of Carter right now.

Speaking of which, I haven't said thank you to you about Bucky! After sitting down and ordering some food, Carter thanked Josh, Bucky can be said that Steve cares the most in this world. So Steve has always been brooding about Bucky's fall from the cliff, but unfortunately, he can't see it anymore.

What's there to thank for this, not to mention that Steve and I are also friends, and Bucky himself is our hero. As an American, this is what I should do! Josh waved his hand.

That's right, after all, you are compatriots! Carter smiled slightly when she heard the words, and she remembered that the three Americans, Josh, Steve, and Bucky, were considered compatriots, and the British person herself was the foreigner.

And to say that the person Steve misses the most in this world used to be Bucky, but now I think I have to add another one! Josh pointed out with a smile.

Carter smiled slightly and didn't speak. She naturally understood what Josie meant, but what's the point of saying this now? Everyone is gone.

By the way, you said you want to talk to me about Steve, what is it? Carter asked, changing the subject.

Ah, look at my memory, it's not really a big deal... that's it! Josh put his hand into his arms to look like he was picking something, but he actually took out an envelope from the system warehouse and handed it to Carter.

What is this? Carter took it in surprise, but after opening it, there was a key inside.

Here are the keys to Steve's apartment in Brooklyn, New York! Josie said.

What? The key to Steve's apartment? How could that be? Carter was very surprised.

The reason is very simple. This apartment was originally rented. Although Steve paid the full rent when he joined the army, after the news of his sacrifice spread to the United States, the landlord used his name and prepared to auction it at a high price. , I happened to know about this, so I just bought the whole building! Josie explained casually, I originally wanted to give the keys to Bucky, but today I met you on the road, so I It might be good to give it to you!

Josh's words weren't really lying to Carter.

In his last life, Josie had seen a lot of American comics, and he would always mention that after the American team woke up, they would go back to the old house in New York and something.

But from the beginning of Captain America 2, it can be found that the city where Captain America lives is actually Washington... Of course, it may also be moved to Washington after the Battle of Avengers.

But it was precisely with this idea in mind that during the previous council meeting, Josie also specifically inquired about the location of the legendary former residence of the US team, ready to take a look.

While it might sound awkward for a Hydra head to visit the former home of Hydra's nemesis, Josie did exactly that.

But the news he got from the men of the Blackwater Gang was that this apartment had been rented since Captain America's parents.

Although Captain America's father was a World War I hero, he was killed by mustard gas, which made Captain America admire his father, which to some extent was one of the reasons why Captain America wanted to join the army.

But only after Josie got to know him did he know that the father of Team America, Joseph Rogers, sacrificed nothing wrong, but to say that he was a hero is pure nonsense.

Captain America's parents were Irish immigrants who immigrated to the United States in the early days of World War I.

Their life trajectories, in fact, are very similar to Vito's parents. They belong to the extreme poverty class and have no money to buy a house at all.

And Joseph can only be like Vito's father, working as a coolie at the bottom of the society to support his family, and even joined the local Irish gang.

But with Steve's mother pregnant, in order to earn more money and give the unborn Steve a slightly better living environment, he took the risk to join the army...

When the U.S. Army entered the war in World War I, it was already at the end of the war. The U.S. just went to pick up cheap ones, and the entire country’s army was only 300,000.

Therefore, four million were recruited temporarily, and they were sent to the front line without much training.

Joseph arrived in Europe at the beginning of 2018, and then went to the battlefield for the first time in May. After a few shots, he was shot by mustard gas. Then in July, the US team was born as a posthumous child.

If such a black-and-drinking soldier who joins the army purely for money and has no credit can be called a war hero, then this hero is too cheap.

Team America's mother also beautified the image of his father in order to set an example for Team America.

The only thing Joseph Rogers did was to leave a pension for the mother and son of Team America.

But what Steve Rogers probably never knew was that the pension never actually went to his mother.

why? Because the U.S. government defaults.

Not only did it depend on the pensions of a large number of dead soldiers, but also wanted to lose the wages of American soldiers in World War I... During World War I, the wages of American soldiers were not paid after the war, so when the Great Depression came, there was also a famous incident. The pension march event!

In 1932, tens of thousands of World War I veterans went to the Capitol to ask for salaries. They were suppressed by the huge profits of the active-duty U.S. military at that time, resulting in the deaths of several veterans and two children (family members of the salary-seeking veterans) and thousands of injuries.

After that, the U.S. government, however, gave these parade veterans a red crime hat.

But speaking of this, there is another interesting thing in it.

That is, among the officers who led the repression at that time, three were the famous Eisenhower, Mike Arthur, and Patton during World War II.

Eisenhower and Patton were more cautious about this matter and did not resort to violence at first.

But the highest rank among the three at the time was not Eisenhower, but Mike Arthur.

At the same time, Mike Arthur was also the one with the toughest attitude. He disregarded the orders of then President Hoover and forced Eisenhower and Patton to lead people to violently suppress the veterans who marched.

Coincidentally, in the parade crowd at that time, there was a relatively special World War II veteran.

This man was the first U.S. president after World War II, Truman.

The president is also a World War I veteran and a company commander.

So when the pay march happened, Truman, who was just a judge in Jackson County, Missouri, also took a group of comrades to participate.

As a result, he was almost crushed to death by a tank commanded by Mike Arthur at the entrance of the Capitol.

In other words, the beams of Mike Arthur and Truman were actually buried at that time.

It is precisely because of the default of the US government that Captain America was raised entirely by his mother's work alone.

His mother also wanted to earn a little more money to be a nurse in the terrifying tuberculosis ward, and finally got herself on board.

And because of such a living environment, the US team suffered from malnutrition since childhood, which led to a lot of problems such as asthma, scarlet fever, and rheumatic fever.

With this kind of economic conditions, buy a house? Not at all possible.

Not even a small apartment in what was then a ghetto in Brooklyn.

Even if Steve hadn't met Bucky as a good friend in his childhood, Steve might have died a long time ago - compared to Steve, Bucky's family is much better, although not super rich, but also middle-class families.

This can be seen from the two very different dresses in the US team 2, the US team's meeting.

It is because of the care of Bucky and his family that Captain America can live so big.

It is precisely because of this almost brother-like relationship that the US team cares about Bucky so much.

In contrast, Captain America and the Howard father and son are really only a relatively ordinary friendship.

No wonder Captain America would rather hurt Tony than defend Bucky during the Civil War.

People are selfish, and when it comes to things that they really care about, even Team America can't be spared.

Thank you, Josh. It's the first time I know that his childhood was so rough! Peggy Carter listened to what Josh said about Team America, looked at the key in his hand, and sighed, The house I will find a way to return the money to you.

Yes, although Carter is Captain America's lover and thinks he knows the character of Captain America very well.

But what Josh said about the birth and childhood of Captain America was really the first time Carter knew.

From this point of view, the US team has not had a good life since childhood, except for the period when he just became Captain America.

It's boring to ask me for money, or you don't actually consider me a friend at all? Josie pretended to be displeased.

Haha, yes. You, the richest man, don't lack such a house, so I'm welcome. It just so happens that I'm going to the United States next week, so I don't need to find another place to live. Carter didn't see it. refuse again.

Oh? Are you going to New York next week? Josie was surprised when she heard the words.

Josie knew that Carter would go to the United States. After all, how could S.H.I.E.L.D. be built without going to the United States? But going now, it's still a bit surprising.

Yes, this is not a secret. With the end of the war, the Strategic Science Corps has begun to withdraw to the United States. Naturally, I will also go there. This time back to the United Kingdom, I will also say goodbye to my family, as well as my sister-in-law and nephew. . Carter explained, but as soon as he finished speaking, he found that Josie was looking at him with a strange look, and couldn't help asking Is there something on my face?

Oh, it's nothing, it's just that I just heard something else. Josie snorted and said, I heard about your brother, he's a hero.

In fact, when Carter mentioned her sister-in-law just now, Josie suddenly remembered a joke about Peggy Carter and Sharon Carter on the Internet in a previous life.

That is, in the Avengers series of movies broadcast in Xia Guo, Sharon Carter was translated as Peggy Carter's niece.

But Sharon Carter in the Avengers was clearly in her twenties and thirties, and Peggy Carter was in her nineties.

Also, Peggy Carter had only one older brother, and he died as early as World War II, leaving only a posthumous son.

So Peggy Carter should have only one nephew and no niece.

In that case, how did Sharon Carter come to be a niece?

Josie had been puzzled by this for a long time in her last life, and then she realized that this was actually a translation pot.

Because in English, aunt can refer to all female elders, and aunt's English is also anut.

Now that the case is solved, Sharon Carter is not Peggy's niece, but a grandnephew.
