American Comic Dimensional Trading Device

But that's not all.

Before the bombers had even completely flown away, the silhouettes of AMX-30 main battle tanks, along with Jaguar and Gazelle helicopters supporting the operation, could already be seen in the distance.

Honestly, Josie's method of using next-generation weapons to bully people is really inhuman.

Forget about the Eastern European hegemon; if this force were the same as that of the United States and the Soviet Union, they would only be able to flee in disarray.

More importantly, the Yugoslav army can no longer even run away.

The vast "depth" that was quickly conquered at the beginning of the war has now become their prison.

Having lost air superiority, the armored forces of the Southern Federation became the primary targets of AMX-30 main battle tanks and attack helicopters. With superior mobility, range, firepower, armor, and overall superiority, no vehicle could escape the pursuit.

In just three days, all four Yugoslav Army Groups that had penetrated deep into Croatian territory were divided, surrounded, and then annihilated.

By the time the United States, Russia, Britain, and France reacted, a week had passed. The combined forces of Austria and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia had already advanced rapidly, not only swallowing up the Bosnian region but also directly capturing Belgrade, the capital of the Yugoslav Federation, forcing the Iron Emperor to retreat westward to the Romanian border.

When the news broke, the whole world was stunned.

The situation on the battlefield changed so rapidly that telegrams from all over the world began to fly to Vienna like snowflakes.

In particular, General Eisenhower, a five-star general who had been promoted to Chief of the Army Staff, flew to Vienna immediately.

But at this very moment when Austria was attracting the world's attention, Josie was hiding alone in her study at Schönbrunn Palace.

The reason is simple: the refresh time for the fourth dimensional transaction beacon has arrived.

"Please, please don't let me get another baby this time!" Josie looked at the search countdown on the system screen in front of her and silently prayed to all the gods and Buddhas.

Soon, the previously dim screen lit up.

Perhaps Josie's prayers had a tiny effect, for the person standing opposite her was a neatly dressed, meticulously groomed middle-aged man.

But this face—damn, isn't that Ned Stark?

Well, actually, they just look alike. He actually looks much younger than Ned Stark, and the black stand-up collar coat he's wearing already shows that he has absolutely no connection to the Game of Thrones world.

“A dimensional trader? What an amazing thing. So what can you offer me, and what do I have to give in return? Or do you want my soul?” Ned Stark spoke.

“Um…sir, I think you’ve misunderstood. I’m not some kind of demon. I don’t need your soul, and it’s worthless to me…but from what you’re saying, there are demons in your world?” Josie raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

"There probably isn't, but the world I live in is no different from hell in my eyes!" the other person sighed.

Two in one.

Chapter 144 The Rift of Doomsday

As Ned Stark narrated his story, Josie finally learned what kind of world he lived in and his name: Elo Partja.

The world that Elo Partja lives in is also called Earth, but unlike Josie's previous life and the current Marvel Universe, Earth in that world embarked on a path of destruction in the 21st century—World War III, nuclear war.

The remaining humans after the war formed a new, powerful organization—the Church of Jehovah.

The ideology of Jehovah's Church can be described as extremely radical, attributing all responsibility for human wars to human emotions.

So the Jehovah Church invented a special drug called Posian that could suppress human emotions, forcing all the people under its rule to eliminate their own emotions.

Anyone who dares to possess cultural or artistic works that can evoke human emotions will be considered guilty of a serious crime, punishable by life imprisonment or even death.

This is why Patjee calls his world "hell".

Not to mention Patjee, even Josie felt that it was worse than hell.

Can't have emotions? Does that mean I can't watch beautiful women dance, can't watch porn, and can't look at Liu Bei?

unacceptable!

As a young man with lofty ideals who is sworn enemies of gambling and drugs, Josie feels it is her responsibility to help Patje change all of this.

However, after Patjee finished speaking, Josie finally remembered what kind of world this was.

It was a dystopian film called The Rupture, released in 2002 in the world where Josie lived in her previous life.

Well, because of its metaphorical connotations, it was the kind of thing that was banned in Josie's previous country.

Because it was a long time ago, Josie couldn't remember the specific plot details, but there were two things he remembered very clearly.

The first thing is that, in order to maintain its rule, the Jehovah Church in this world has established an extremely powerful individual law enforcement team called the Jehovah Order of Priests.

That's not the key point. The key point is that every member of this priesthood possesses a powerful combat skill called gun-fu.

This is also the first film to present a complete concept system of gunfighting.

However, the gun-fu of this world does not have the ability to make bullets turn by violently shaking the wrist.

It is a powerful combat skills system that integrates physical skills, gun skills, sword skills, and statistics.

The second thing Josie remembered was that the protagonist of this world was Batman—well, no, it was Christian Bale.

Wearing a handsome priest's uniform and displaying an elegant fighting posture, he was simply dashing.

As for Patje, he was also a member of the priesthood and Patje's partner and second-in-command. However, because he regained his emotions and committed a crime of emotion, he was shot dead by Patje at the beginning of the film, which became the starting point for Patje's emotional recovery.

Hmm, that's pretty tragic.

From his conversation with the other party, it is clear that Patjee has regained his emotions at this point. If he hadn't obtained the trading device, he probably wouldn't have survived for long.

“I must say, you’re incredibly lucky!” Josie said with a sly smile as she looked at Patjee.

“Good luck? So you have a way to help me change all of this?” Patje asked, somewhat puzzled, but more incredulous.

Because the place where Josie was on the screen was nothing special except for the decorations, and the furnishings even seemed quite outdated. In his eyes, Josie himself was just a relatively strong ordinary person.

Therefore, he did not believe that this so-called trading partner could bring him much surprise.

“I know what you’re worried about. The reason you can’t fight the Church is simply because the priests are too powerful in combat… But have you ever heard the saying, ‘Strength overcomes skill’?” Josie asked with a smile.

"Overpower skill with force? What do you mean?" Patje asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Look at this," Josie said, "this potion is called the Dinosaur Transformation Potion. It contains optimized dinosaur genes. After injection, it can turn a person into a powerful half-human, half-beast warrior within a few hours, possessing strength, speed, and reaction abilities that can easily overwhelm humans. Bullets can hardly penetrate their keratinized scales, and they also have extremely strong regenerative abilities... Most importantly, anyone can use this stuff. Just imagine, if there were thousands upon thousands of warriors who had used this potion, would you still have anything to fear from the Priests?" Josie took out the Transformation Potion and recommended it to Patje with a smile.

Josie wasn't entirely sure whether the beast warrior could actually defeat the Jehovah priest who had mastered gun-fu in a one-on-one fight. After all, the gun-fu in the movie was portrayed quite exaggeratedly, and who knew if some tough guys wielding melee weapons would suddenly appear and easily kill the beast warrior.

However, Josie remained confident that Patjee, with the beast-transforming potion, could overthrow Jehovah's Church.

The reason is simple: quantity.

The training for Jehovah's priests is very demanding, requiring extensive study of mathematics, statistics, and probability. Therefore, it typically takes at least several years of training before initial results are seen. Selection and training usually begin from a young age.

This results in a very small number of Jehovah priests. The Jehovah Church governs a population of several million, but the entire priesthood consists of only a few hundred official members. Including trainees and reserves, the number is no more than a thousand, which can be described as extremely small.

While the beast-transformation potion is limited in time, there is no limit to the quantity. Although Josie strictly controls the outflow of the potion, it has already been mass-produced on a large scale. As long as the dinosaurs on Yuri's side do not become extinct, the potion will not run out.

Even if the dinosaurs went extinct, the beast-transforming drug could still be produced. At worst, the dinosaur genes needed in it could be replaced with those of ordinary animals on Earth, reducing its effectiveness.

So as long as Patjee can recruit enough people, he can overwhelm those priests with sheer numbers.

"...Then what do you want?" Patje was intrigued. If this potion was really that powerful, then the so-called priesthood would indeed no longer be a threat.

“It’s very simple: a complete training method for gunfighting, plus various kinds of wealth!” Josie gave the answer.

Although training is difficult, gunfighting is still very meaningful.

While the animal transformation potion is effective, it makes the target too obvious and easily attracts attention.

Once the impact is too great, it becomes very difficult to clean up the mess.

For example, in the United States, although it has been half a year since Bucky was captured, the Strategic Scientific Corps is still tirelessly searching for the traces of the giant monster (Vitor Beast).

In addition, carrying medicines is a relatively troublesome matter, which is because the security check systems in various countries are still quite backward.

As security checks become stricter in the future, it won't be so easy to travel around the world with the medication.

If some of the medicine is lost, it could easily lead to serious trouble.

In contrast, the impact of an elite assassination squad trained from ordinary humans is much lower and easier to disguise.

“Wealth? What do you mean?” Patjee understood Josie’s request for gunfighting.

But wealth? What is that?

Well, because emotions have been eliminated, all resources under the rule of the Jehovah Church are rationed, so the concepts of wealth and money do not exist.

“Gold, silver, all kinds of precious rare metals, gems, and so on~” Josie explained. Although he had no shortage of these mundane things, he wouldn’t complain about having too many. “Also, your world must be in a bit of a food shortage, right? I can provide you with plenty of food and natural drinking water. In fact, if your people want to move to a more comfortable environment, I can provide interdimensional migration services. I have two worlds here that haven’t been damaged at all for you to choose from. However, once you arrive in the new place, you must abide by the local laws. Under normal circumstances, the rulers of those two worlds are quite tolerant.”

The title "Tears Apart" is not arbitrary. In a post-nuclear world, environmental pollution is severe, with 80% of the world's land contaminated by nuclear radiation. Uncontaminated land and water are extremely scarce resources, firmly controlled by the Jehovah Church, which is one of the important reasons why the resistance forces are powerless to resist.

If they can't even get enough basic food and water, how much strength do they have to fight?

But coincidentally, these are the very things that Josie has in abundance.

With the end of World War II, Josie's canned dinosaur meat began to stagnate. If it weren't for the relatively backward world of Game of Thrones as a dumping ground, he would have been preparing to stop production.

I must have caught a chill before, because the air conditioner was set too low. Last night, I didn't turn on the air conditioner and was wrapped in a blanket, sweating profusely. I feel much better now.

Chapter 145 Exchange of Interests

An hour later, Josie ended her communication with Patje.

This period wasn't very long, but through communication, Josie learned that Patje hadn't had much time to recover his emotions during this period, so he wasn't very good at talking, making conversations rather awkward.

Therefore, their conversation was quite concise and took little time.

After the communication ended, Josie's system inventory was missing several beast transformation potions, but only a small amount of Bosian potions were added. There were no gunfighting training methods or Bosian potion recipes.
