When he saw Josie sitting opposite Ross in the yard of Ross's house, Phillips was stunned.

At the same time, he was full of helplessness.

But the helplessness soon turned into decisiveness.

There is no way. Now that this is the case, he can't help but retreat. It is a knife to stretch his head, and a knife to retreat is also a knife. It is better to go straight.

Long time no see, General Phillips! The last time the two met was in Vienna, when they cooperated to capture the remaining Hydra.

Of course, it was mainly those diehards who were unwilling to surrender to Josie, the new leader of Hydra, and some scapegoats that Josie and Austria looked down on.

At that time, Phillips had just been promoted from colonel to brigadier general, but now he is already a major general.

In terms of promotion speed, it's not bad.

But really, it's actually not as good as William Ross.

After all, the rank of William Ross is really played by the commander of the army.

And Phillips is telling the truth, to a large extent he ate the credit bonus of Captain America's death and Howard Stark, a super scientist.

But the military intelligence department is also normal.

It's been a long time indeed, Mr. Kahn! Phillips also greeted Josie honestly.

General Phillips is welcome, sit down now, you are also Steve's old boss, and we are half friends. Josie greeted Phillips warmly and sat down, as if he was the Same as the owner here.

William Ross, who was on the side, didn't mind either, and smiled at Phillips to show that you were free.

Immediately, the three of them focused on Qiao Xi's words, and they started talking nonsense from all over the world.

When Phillips couldn't help it, Josie suddenly asked a question, Speaking of which, the Department of Defense is preparing to establish a War Asset Management Department, Phillips, you should know?

...Slightly heard! Phillips couldn't help but click the words. Of course he knew about it, and as the head of an intelligence agency, he was also a smart person. He immediately looked at William who didn't know what was going on. Ross glanced and sighed in his heart for Josie's great powers and William Ross's good luck.

The so-called War Assets Management Department, established as WAA, is a specialized agency established by the United States after World War II to deal with the huge inventory of military supplies.

In any country, when it comes to producing military materials, it is impossible to produce it to the extent that its current military strength is just enough, and there will always be a surplus.

In World War II, in order to cope with its own military system of up to 10 million, and to transfuse blood for many allies, the production of military materials was completely unplanned.

If you dare to produce, I will dare to have it.

This led to the end of the war. Not only did the U.S. military have a large amount of materials that were not used up, but there were even a large number of orders that had not even been produced.

How many of these huge materials are there?

The total value is more than 34 billion US dollars, and there are more than 4 million categories. There are 28 catalogues in two stacks, each stack is more than 2 meters high. The items on it are from the dogs distributed to the Greenland Observation Force. Pulling sleds all the way to mosquito nets used by soldiers fighting in the South Pacific, as small as bullets as large as aircraft, warships and tanks, distributed in 181 warehouses across the United States.

What is the concept of $34 billion? In 1945, the annual GDP of the United States was only $355 billion.

This figure has exceeded the total assets of any consortium in the United States at that time.

With so many assets, let alone used or sold, it would take a long time to give away.

After the original WAA was formally established in early 1946, under the management of the helmsman Major General Thomas John, various military material transformation equipment was sold throughout the United States.

For example, a washbasin transformed from a steel helmet, a large coach bomb transformed into a lamp holder, and a military tracked vehicle sold as a tractor.

320,000 medical vials were targeted at a shooting range.

The snake-shaped hose on the gas mask was turned into the children's favorite snake toy in the hands of the toy dealer.

Plenty of medical bandages are used by garment factories in Cincinnati as padding for shoulder pads in suits.

500,000 aluminum strips used to jam radar became trendy Christmas decorations in Washington.

60,000 rocket launchers became elegant lampposts.

4.5 million pairs of flying pants with wool linings were changed into gloves and slippers, and the mountain-like remaining military supplies slowly passed from civilian to civilian.

But even so, it can only consume one-seventh of this huge substance.

Therefore, while the domestic consumption is slow, they are also desperately selling abroad. Norway and the Netherlands are ideal buyers of old ships. Italy is most concerned about the production line of military shoes; Czechoslovakia can buy anything as long as it is cheap; East Asian countries that are anxious to get angry are concerned about the remaining flour and milk powder in the United States.

At that time, there was basically no cash in these countries, so it was also credit, credit, and credit.

In the end, it turned into a lot of bad debts and bad debts.

In order to be able to sell these materials as soon as possible, the final income of the US military is often less than one-tenth of the value of this batch of materials.

But even so, not much has been sold, most of them can only be thrown away and burned... Even by 2022, there will still be a lot of inventory of this batch of materials.

Of course, it's not that no one makes a fortune by reselling these materials, but basically they are just rich.

For the consortium, these materials are a pile of military garbage with little value.

What is this called? This is what is called tyranny.

This would be in Josie's hands, and it would be worth at least ten times as much as it was sold to Daenerys.

I dare not doubt that Daenerys can't eat it. Now Daenerys is planning to set off a conquest of the entire Game of Thrones world, and the demand for military materials has reached the extreme.

Even if you can't eat it at one time, you will be able to eat most of it slowly in the future.

And even if you can't eat it all at once, you don't have to worry about spoiling these substances in Josie's system warehouse.

When you encounter a backward world similar to Game of Thrones in the future - such as the little doll that hasn't grown up yet, you can continue to sell it.

But if you want to get the sales management right of this material, then the position of the person in charge of WAA must be Josie's own person.

In his opinion, William Ross is the best candidate.

In particular, WAA is not a temporary agency, but a long-term, oily agency. After all, in the next few decades, the war in the United States has basically never stopped.

In particular, the South Vietnam War, for the United States, its scale and consumption are more severe than the Pacific War.

But it was not easy to push General William Ross to the post.

Josie had a good relationship with the military, yes, but it was limited to the army garrison in Europe during the war.

Putting this relationship in the Pentagon is simply not enough.

The relationship is the best. The highest-ranked general, General McGinnis, is still stationed in Europe. Even if he comes back, a four-star general won’t change anything at all. ten.

Regardless of whether it is President Truman, Marshall, Eisenhower, and other real top military bosses, Josie has only been able to talk to the other party so far, and it has not reached the point where she can feel everything in one sentence.

In the United States, capital has the final say, but only if you are the top one.

Of course, if Josie can convince the entire council to help, then nine times out of ten this can happen.

But the interests of all members of the council are not aligned.

There is a huge amount of military waste, which Josie regards as a treasure. Others headed by Thomas may not think so. There is not much possibility for them to help them plan the position of WAA manager. After all, this matter is only Josie's. Self-interest, for the general layout of the Council, has little meaning.

As for helping them and catching Bucky just now, Josie wasn't going to use it as a favor.

Because this favor is not enough.

Even if the arrest of Bucky failed at that time, it would not have much impact on the council, but now that the arrest has been successful, in the opinion of the council, it is not enough for them to spend the price to help Josie win the head of WAA position.

On the other hand, if Josie is willing to provide the council with beast chemicals, the council will most likely agree to help Josie, but for Josie, it is not worth it.

I just didn't expect that when Josie was planning this, Phillips himself bumped into it.

In Marvel movies, as one of the three founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., because Phillips is not the protagonist, he has a very low sense of existence, thus making Howard Stark and Peggy Carter the first-generation S.H.I.E.L.D.” top card.

But in fact, Phillips was the most critical part of the original S.H.I.E.L.D.

Although his military rank is not very high, his family is a military family that has existed in the United States since the founding of the United States more than 100 years ago, and has a very large influence in the Ministry of Defense.

It is evident that Phillips was able to take the rank of a colonel during World War II and be in charge of the Rebirth Project that made super soldiers with a huge investment scale and a high level of secrecy.

It was also because of his role as a middleman and leader that he was able to pull Howard Stark and Peggy Carter together to build S.H.I.E.L.D.

Otherwise, one is just a scientist and a rich man, and the other is a British agent and a woman.

Why did they get the support of the military, Congress, the White House and other forces to establish a special organization with power that surpasses almost all existing intelligence agencies in the United States?

Can Howard sleep with other people's wives and offend people?

Phillips is the real key.

So a mere WAA head? Just a trifle.

I think, the importance of being in this organization should be given to an officer who is young and strong, has rich military experience, and has enough credit, and has a good relationship with the consortium. After digesting it and getting enough funds, what does General Phillips think? Josie put forward the conditions with a smile.

Of course, I think there is no one more suitable for such a candidate than General Ross! Phillips agreed to the deal very simply.

Although this matter is a bit troublesome for Phillips, and from the perspective of pure benefit exchange, Phillips will lose a lot, and it can even be said that it is a big loss.

In theory, a branch of the Strategic Science Corps and more than a dozen senior agents are not worth the price of the head of the WAA.

But that's not how the account is calculated.

Although the position of the head of WAA is very valuable, the premise is that you have the ability to eat those things or sell them, otherwise the job may not be a fat job.

The Pentagon is not stupid, and they also hope to use this batch of supplies in exchange for military spending as much as possible.

In contrast, the Strategic Science Corps is a special institution established by Phillips, which is his life's work.

Although the New York branch is small, it is a very important part of it.

And if this matter continues to escalate, even if the relationship between Phillips is tough, then the entire agency will face the crisis of being abolished - several other intelligence agencies, such as the FBI, CIA, NSA (National Security Agency) and many other intelligence agencies , but he has long been unhappy, as long as they are given a chance, they will not mind trampling the Strategic Science Corps, the agency that divides their powers, to death.

So in contrast, he is more willing to pay a little price to help William Ross take the position of WAA administrator.

Moreover, William Ross himself is also a very good support object.

Like the Phillips family, the Ross family is actually an old-fashioned military family, but it is not as strong as the Phillips family, and William Ross himself is not as good as Phillips in terms of political acumen.

But being a puppet WAA director, earning a wave of qualifications is enough.

Phillips could see clearly that Josie's fundamental purpose was not to help William Ross. The bigger reason was because he was eyeing the terrifyingly large batch of military materials.

So one of the two sides is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer, and the matter is given in a few words.

It turned to William Ross, and he didn't fully understand the situation until it was over.

After Phillips left, Josie explained it carefully before he understood the meaning of WAA.

He didn't have any opinion on this, because Josh made it very clear that for him, taking this position would only be good, not bad.

Since the two sides met, Josie has never cheated on old friends like Ross, McGinnis, etc., so his words have a very high credibility.

Later, Josie stayed at Rose's house for another dinner before leaving.

On the way back to the hotel, Josie looked at the busy streets and suddenly realized that she had never bought a house in New York.

Although he has no plans to live in New York because of the shadow of the Avengers series in his previous life.

But as a super-rich, it is too much to stay in a hotel every time you come to New York.

Speaking of which, the land of the United Nations in the future...
