  Chapter 112 Return to Europe

   After Josie was able to possess complete nuclear weapon technology, the Nine-member Council was completely unexpected, and Calvin Chadwick, who originally wanted to use this matter to run on Josie, had an extremely ugly face.

Because the Manhattan Project is not only for the United States, but also for the whole world, it is a super weapon with deadly deterrence. It also represents the resource tilt within Hydra.

  Earlier, Etheldan Energy Group relied on its important position in the Manhattan Project, and received a lot of support from within the organization.

  But now Josie was provoked by him and directly took out the complete technical data chain. Although it would not make the organization take back the previous investment, the follow-up resource tilt would definitely be gone.

  For Calvin, this wave is really shooting himself in the foot.

  I can only report the last expectation in my heart, hoping that Josie is bragging.

  But the next day, as a truckload of paper materials was sent to a research institute affiliated to a council in New York for verification by scientists affiliated to the council, Calvin's last hope was completely shattered.

  Yes, a whole truck... Although in later generations, the principle of the atomic bomb is regarded as physics knowledge that high school students can understand.

  But theory is just theory, and the actual detailed manufacturing process is still an extremely complicated matter.

  So regardless of the use of a truck to transport the materials, this is what Yuri has deliberately simplified.

  And if Yuri hadn’t already built a relatively basic supercomputer and started to store the almost endless knowledge in his mind in it, it would be impossible to prepare such complete information in just one day.

   But after handing over the information to the council, how the council will hand over these things to the military is not something Josie needs to worry about.

   As for whether helping the United States get the atomic bomb ahead of time will make the world more turbulent, Josie is not worried.

   Just give Mao Xiong a copy later.

  As long as the two poles are balanced, the battle will be difficult to fight.

  The detailed design information of the atomic bomb once again brought Josie great prestige in the council.

  The high-level council headed by Thomas waved his hand, and put the public property and resources of Hydra in Illinois and a large number of councils in Europe under Josie's jurisdiction.

  Good guy, there are more than a dozen top research institutes alone.

  There are dozens of factories of various enterprises.

   There are countless funds and personnel.

  Although these resources are only managed by Josie and not directly sent to him, they are still of great help to Josie.

Especially for the original trip to Europe, the funds allocated by the council to Josie have changed from the original 500 million to one billion... This is definitely a terrifying figure. You must know that during World War II, the entire United States provided resources to its allies through the Lend-Lease Act The total amount is only 50 billion, an average of more than 10 billion a year.

  The total cost of the Manhattan Project was only over two billion.

   In addition to this, there are several shipping companies, hundreds of free ships and the right to deploy corresponding materials.

  This shows how terrible the resources in the hands of the council are.

  To be honest, Josie was very surprised at the generosity of the council.

  However, he also knows that it is precisely because these resources are large enough that as long as the person in charge is not a pig, it is impossible to cause too much loss.

  Even if it is lost, it will not hurt the council of a large consortium that controls four—no, now five.

  So such a large hand of the council is also a test to some extent.

  This trip to Europe, if Josie can make good use of these resources and bring enough considerable benefits to the council, then his position as a council member can be truly stabilized.

   Otherwise, he is prepared to be a mascot like Calvin, who seems to have a high status but is actually semi-marginalized.

  But this time, Josie was not the only one who went to Europe in the council, and Hugh Jones, the leader of the Roxon Group, was also with him.

  Just wait until Christmas is over, and they are ready to go to Europe.

   Not much Although Margot understands that Josie is going to Europe after returning to the United States for more than two months, she is still somewhat dissatisfied.

  She actually wanted to go to Europe with her, but the two children were too young to travel far.

  After all, the medical care and sanitation environment these days are incomparable with those of later generations. Two-month-old children are too fragile, and a little acclimatization may take their little life away.

  So in the end, Margot could only vent her dissatisfaction by squeezing Josie fiercely after the recovery period.

   "Hey, it's only been two months, and London has changed a lot!" On the streets of London, Josie sat in a luxurious Bentley, looking at the streets of London that had begun to become lively, and couldn't help sighing.

  Same as last time, Josie came to England by plane, and Hugh Jones, who had a comfortable schedule, is still floating in the Atlantic Ocean with the transport fleet on an ocean cruise ship.

  But this time Josie didn't squeeze the plane with others.

  Because for the sake of convenience, Josie directly used public equipment for private use, used the resources of the council, and coupled with his own good personal relationship with the Ministry of the Army, bought a C-69 strategic transport aircraft from the Army Air Force.

This is a strategic transport aircraft developed and manufactured by Lockheed Corporation in the late World War II. Its range is even farther than that of the famous B-29 bomber. It has reached an astonishing 7,400 kilometers in this era, and it is highly valued by the military. .

   It's just that this aircraft was only tested at the end of 1943, and the first aircraft was officially delivered in 44 years.

   By the end of World War II, the Army had delivered a total of 22 aircraft orders for more than 200 aircraft.

  So some of the reputation is not obvious.

However, in the late 1950s, during the South Vietnam War, the successor model of this aircraft was procured in large quantities. It was used as a special model for early warning aircraft and electronic intelligence, as well as air radio relay, weather reconnaissance, and conventional troop transportation. It was not eliminated until the 1980s.

   It can be seen its reliability.

  By the way, in the original time and space, this aircraft was developed by Howard Hughes, the major shareholder of TWA Airlines.

   In this world, Howard Stark participated in the research and development.

   As for whether Josie wants to get involved in aerospace in the future... well, he thought about it before, but now he doesn't need it.

  Because among the five consortiums controlled by the council, two of them are major shareholders of Lockheed...

"It's normal. Now that the war has officially ended, except for a small number of occupying troops, most of the soldiers will naturally go home. Coupled with the full recovery of overseas air routes, they will naturally begin to prosper. It's just that the family relationship is a little bit It's not very harmonious." The middle-aged man sitting next to Josie with a respectful attitude said mockingly as he looked at a couple who were arguing in front of the apartment on the roadside.

   This middle-aged man is called John Heberman. He is a British citizen on the surface, but he is actually of Bavarian descent.

   He used to be a double agent sent by Mustache and Hydra to the UK, and his status is not low.

  However, with the demise of Mustache and Bavaria being incorporated into Austria, he naturally lost his original mission.

  At the end of the war, this guy was going to pack up his things and run away, but Ophelia came to the door, and then, like other Hydra branches in Europe, he was taken under Josie's command.

  Because he already had a certain social status in the UK, while he was the top manager of Hydra in the UK, he also became Linden's subordinate, as the head of Josie's Kahn Group in the UK.

  Whether it is Germany, Hydra, or even Austria now, the United Kingdom is actually a competitor—don’t look at the previous British support for the return to the Eagle’s Nest and the coups in Bavaria and Austria.

   But that's mainly because Britain was too eager to end the war.

Now as soon as the war is over, the British side has begun to turn its face and deny people. It has stated at the Allied Forces Conference several times that Bavaria and Austria also committed a lot of crimes during the war, and they should pay a certain price for it, and think that Bavaria and Austria should not be merged!

  And the biggest obstacle to Austria's attempt to gain the status of a victorious country is also Britain.

  The situation in France is similar. In the two months that Josie was away, a new French Constituent Assembly had been elected.

  Although de Gaulle continues to serve as the leader of the provisional government, he has actually begun to be deliberately marginalized.

  In addition to the French occupation forces in Germany, the last man in France has actually lost control of the domestic situation in France.

  And the politicians in France have also begun to collude with the British, and faintly began to target Austria.

Fortunately, the United States does not want to see Western Europe being monolithic, especially does not want Britain and France to be too united, and they have to face the threat from the bear, so although they do not support Austria's status as a victorious country, they also Oppose the sanctions against Austria proposed by Britain and France, and the partition of Bavaria and Austria.

  So the current internal situation of the Allied Forces is also very delicate.

  In this case, John Heberman, who has been engaged in underground struggles with the British since the beginning of the war, would have a good attitude towards Britain, and that would be strange.

  What about the victorious country? Isn't the rear a ruined mess?

  In the past few months, the town halls all over the UK have been filled with returned soldiers queuing up for divorce.

   You can see quarreling couples on the street every day.

   No way, a lot of British women and American soldiers are too exaggerated, a lot of pregnant.

  While I was fighting on the front line, my wife was pregnant. But it is impossible for any British soldier with a brain to not know the problem. If you ask the neighbors, everything will be clear.

   Some people with better feelings may bear it for a while, but most people will definitely not be able to bear it.

   "Hehe, just wait, this is just the beginning, and it won't be long before the British will suffer even more!" Josie also smiled slightly.

   Josie also doesn’t have any good impressions of the super shit-stirring country in human history—of course, he doesn’t have any sense of belonging to the United States or Austria.

  But now, as one of the snake heads of Hydra and a member of the vested interests of the American consortium, it is obviously a matter of course for Josie to cause trouble for these two old powers.

   This is also one of the main purposes of his return to Europe this time.

   As for how to cause trouble for these two countries, naturally it depends on the cute bear on the other side of the German wall.

  What is the German Wall?

  Of course it is the dividing line between the Allied occupied area and the bear occupied area.

  The Berlin Wall in the original time and space no longer exists in this world, because without the Yalta Conference, the European War would have ended, so Mao Xiong, who invaded Berlin alone, also refused to share Berlin with the Allies in this time and space.

  So in this world there is only one German wall that divides Germany from north to south—although it is called a wall, it is actually just a military demarcation line.

   Plus Bavaria stolen by Austria.

  The occupied area of ​​the Allied forces in Germany is much smaller than in the original time and space. In particular, the occupied areas allocated to Britain and France are not as large as Bavaria.

   It's no wonder that the two countries are unhappy with Austria.

   "If you think about it being a leader, it must be extraordinary!" Heberman flattered Josie at the right time when he heard Josie's words.

   Josie just smiled slightly at this, and didn't say anything more. At this moment, he caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eyes.

   "Stop in front!" Josie ordered.

  The driver stopped the car slowly without hesitation.

   Immediately, Josie opened the door and got out of the car, walking towards the slightly gloomy figure standing on the side of the street.

  When the figure saw Josie getting out of the car, a slight surprise flashed across his face.

   "Ms. Carter, long time no see!" Josie greeted.

  That's right, what Josie saw was Peggy Carter, who he hadn't seen for a long time, and this was the first time he saw Carter after the disappearance of the US team.

   "Long time no see, Mr. Kahn, I didn't expect to see you here. I heard that you have returned to the United States!" Peggy Carter greeted with a slight smile.

  Although he is also a rich man in the United States, Carter obviously has a better impression of Josie, who has almost no scandals, than Howard Stark, who lives a loose life—even if she and Howard are very good friends.

   "Yes, I went back and stayed for two months, spending Christmas with my fiancée and two children. This is not London that I just arrived in today!" Josie nodded.

  Although Carter's figure can easily give Josie some daydreams, it's just a daydream. This woman is not so easy to control. Josie doesn't want to be cut off by the other party because she can't control her lower body.

Therefore, there is nothing to hide about the topic of family. On the contrary, this side can make a good impression on the other party. As the leader of Hydra, if you want to infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D. Dealing with one of the founders.

   "What? You already have children?" Carter was also very surprised to hear Josie's words.

  As a member of the military, she also investigated Josie, so although she doesn't know much about Josie's family situation, she does know about being young.

  A 17-year-old billionaire who had a child at such a young age, and seems to have a very harmonious relationship with his fiancée.

   Contrast that with the inconspicuous Howard Stark.

  Just as Josie expected, Carter did have a good impression of valuing family in his consciousness.

   "By the way, where are you going?" Josie looked at Carter and asked.

   "I just came out of my brother's house, ready to go home, but obviously it's not easy to get a taxi now!" Carter said, shrugging and looking at the street.

   "If there is nothing else, how about having a meal together? Don't get me wrong, I just happen to have something to talk to you about... um, about Steve!" Josie invited along the way.
