American Comic Dimensional Trading Device

To be honest, in Britain, if it weren't for the need to continue doing business after the war, Josie wouldn't have had many concerns.

These days, as an American and a supplier of supplies to the military, with a fairly good relationship with the military, as long as Josh doesn't go crazy enough to cause trouble for the royal family, even if he causes a big commotion in Britain, at most he'll just be extradited. What's he afraid of?

After securing the Razor Gang as their secondary distributor, Josie and her group headed to London the following day.

The goods supplied to the Razor Party were mostly low-end products.

After all, the hierarchy of the gangs is what it is. It's just that Britain has plundered the world for hundreds of years and has a very deep foundation. Even ordinary people have accumulated considerable wealth. Throughout World War II, many British citizens were not short of money, but only of supplies. During this period, any ship loaded with supplies that arrived in Britain could be sold out in a few days at several times or even ten times the price. There was no such thing as not being able to afford it, only not being able to buy it.

This is the downside of island nations: once blockaded, outside supplies can't get in, and even with money, you can't buy food.

However, once the blockade ends, given Britain's resources, it will recover quickly... Right after World War II, Britain's economy recovered faster than any other country in the world except the United States, because it had money at home and resources in its colonies.

Its real decline was actually caused by a series of colonial independence movements in the 50s and subsequent deindustrialization.

Now all Josie has to do is to squeeze a little bit of pocket money out of these British guys' pockets in advance.

However, Josh's system warehouse also contains a large number of high-end goods, including premium candies, chocolates, cigars, canned fruits, alcoholic beverages, and even fresh fruits, beef, lamb, and pork.

These things were not something that ordinary British people could afford; only by selling them to the powerful and wealthy in London could the maximum profit be maximized.

This requires cooperation with the major trading companies in London, as Shelby had previously suggested. Josie couldn't very well go door-to-door with his own people to promote the products; he couldn't afford to lose face like that.

Because they were a few days late, by the time Josie and her group arrived in London, the film company's girls had already begun their tour of various military camps under the arrangement of the entertainment organization. They were very busy every day, so they weren't in the hotel where they were stationed and would only return at night.

But when the girls came back that night, Josie immediately noticed a problem.

"Where did Whitney and Angela go?" Josie asked the two bodyguards accompanying the group, frowning as she watched the girls walk into the hotel one by one. Lyndon Schneider's expression was also rather unpleasant.

“I’m sorry, sir, after Ms. Whitney arrived in London, she became very close to Howard Stark, and Angela got very close to a colonel named Joseph Kennedy. It’s not that we didn’t want to stop them, but the two ladies did it voluntarily, and there was nothing we could do…” The two bodyguards looked at Josie and Lyndon somewhat awkwardly.

However, the main reason was Lyndon, because they knew that Whitney and Josie had a purely employer-employee relationship. Even if Whitney played poker with Howard, the one she cheated on was her wealthy boyfriend in America, and had nothing to do with Josie.

But there's no doubt that Lyndon was truly cuckolded.

Moreover, the two bodyguards really couldn't stop it. Angela was willing, and the other party was a US Army colonel. What could they do?

All Josie could do was cast a sympathetic glance at Lyndon, whose face was pale and uncertain.

Tsk tsk, this dodder is definitely not one to stay still.

But Joseph Kennedy... isn't that the eldest son of the Kennedy family who was blown up in the sky in Britain?

"Kennedy" and "Marilyn Monroe".

What a tragic fate...

Chapter 72 Conflict

Over the next few days, Josie and Lyndon did not see Angela return to the hotel.

Later, based on information gathered by their subordinates, Josie and Lyndon learned that Colonel Kennedy had specifically arranged for Angela to live in a house in West London.

During World War II, when American troops were stationed in Britain, London's West End became a place for American soldiers to seek pleasure.

The soldiers' area is mainly Hyde Park and Piccadilly Circus, where the scent of heather permeates every corner at night, and the cleaners here remove the frames of hard hats every morning.

That's right... these guys couldn't even be bothered to find a normal place.

That's why we're talking about how 1.8 million lives came about.

However, high-ranking military officers like Kennedy would certainly not be interested in the fireflies in those places; they preferred to go to upscale apartments.

There were many elegant ladies dressed in high-end fur coats waiting for them.

Many high-ranking U.S. military officers even brazenly moved into the luxury apartments of widows and even non-widows, only returning to the barracks during the day.

Kennedy was a colonel in the Navy, a high-ranking military officer, so arranging accommodation for Angela was a piece of cake for him.

But for Lyndon, this was pure humiliation.

However, Lyndon was not a young man who was easily impulsive; he was a seasoned veteran who had been mingling in the gray areas since World War I.

It is perfectly clear that in this special period, going against a high-ranking military official who holds real power is a completely brainless move.

Let alone someone who operates in the gray area, even his boss, Josie, who is a near-tycoon in the United States, would find it difficult to get anything good from him directly in the UK.

So without any persuasion from Josh, he simply acted as if nothing had happened and threw himself into his work, helping Josh contact local bigwigs in Dunlun to sell those high-end goods.

But both he and Josie knew that this matter was not going to end so easily.

What they didn't expect was that just because they didn't cause trouble for the other party didn't mean the other party wouldn't cause trouble for them; to be precise, it was the other party who caused trouble for Josie.

"Josh, this farewell might not be so easy to see each other again!" Aldo and several other officers clinked glasses with Josh at the Rainbow Club in London's West End, then downed their entire glasses of beer as they spoke.

The Rainbow Club, run by the American Red Cross, was a club specifically for the U.S. military and served as their headquarters for pleasure-seeking in London.

Not only does it offer food all night, but it also boasts a huge dance floor that can accommodate 1000 couples dancing at the same time.

This is the place where Captain America and Peggy Carter made their dance promise in the Captain America movie.

Normally, non-military personnel, especially men, are not allowed to enter here; only women can enter with an invitation from U.S. soldiers.

But Josh's situation is a little different. First, he is an American citizen and a serviceman, making him a semi-military personnel. Second, he recently became a supplier for the club.

After all, he had a lot of valuable assets. Relying on a large amount of "hard currency" that was more valuable than the US dollar and the British pound, in the past month, almost the entire upper class of London and mid-to-high-ranking military officers of the US military knew about this powerful American tycoon.

It was during this time that he encountered Aldo, whom he had met on the plane, and several other officers.

As for Winters, who was on good terms with the other person, he was not among them. The 101st Airborne Division was stationed far from London, so they rarely came to London.

And Josh is here today specifically to see these officers off.

Today is May 28th, and there is only one week left until the famous Normandy landings (originally scheduled for June 5th, but actually June 6th).

All U.S. troops have entered a state of final combat readiness, and ordinary U.S. soldiers on leave can hardly be seen on the streets anymore.

Aldo and his men were only able to be here because they were officers.

But by tomorrow, they still won't be able to leave the military camp.

"Relax, buddy! That mustachioed guy on the other side is done for. We have several times the number of our troops. You guys are the best. I believe you can all return victorious. I'm looking forward to celebrating with you in Paris!" Josie also gave him face by downing his beer in one gulp, then patted Aldo on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Hmph, capitalists like you can only hide behind the battlefield and suck the blood of brave soldiers." Just then, a discordant voice came from not far behind Josie and the others.

Everyone looked over and saw a colonel standing not far away, and standing next to him was Angela, who was looking down and not daring to look at Josie.

"Do we know this colonel?" Josie narrowed her eyes slightly, pretending not to know the other party's identity even though she had already guessed it.

“Joseph Kennedy! You must be Josh Kahn, right?” Colonel Kennedy said as he approached Josh, but was stopped by Aldo, who sensed his hostile intentions.

"What? Is there a problem with you, Lieutenant of the Army?" Kennedy said disdainfully, looking at Aldo who was blocking his way.

"Oh, excuse me, sir, I just wanted to say hello and give you a salute!" Aldo said, and indeed gave the other man a proper salute, then said, "But from your tone, it seems you have a problem with our army?"

"So what? What do you think of what I said, Lieutenant!" Kennedy scoffed.

The most famous conflict between the navy and army during World War II was that between Japan and China.

But in fact, similar contradictions exist in most countries, including the United States.

It's understandable that Kennedy, as a naval colonel, would have prejudices against the army, especially since Aldo was just a lieutenant.

“Of course not, sir. Our army never provokes idiots.” Aldo replied, narrowing his eyes, emphasizing the word “sir” in his tone.

“…Very well, it seems you’re quite unconvinced. I’ve never liked using rank to intimidate people. Everyone listen up, this has nothing to do with rank…” Kennedy shoved his glass into Angela’s hand, while simultaneously pointing to Josie, whose face was grim, sitting behind Aldo.

"Joseph...no!" Angela was frightened when she sensed something was wrong.

"Don't worry, baby, what can they do to me..." Before Kennedy could finish speaking with a smile, Aldo had already punched him in the face.

Upon seeing this, Josie and the other army officers felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

Bad dish!

They didn't expect Aldo to actually make a move.

Don't be fooled by Kennedy's statement that rank doesn't matter; anyone who takes that seriously is simply brain-dead.

This is not just about beating up a superior officer; it could also cause conflict between the navy and the army.

For such an incident to occur on the eve of this major battle, Aldo, who initiated the attack, will definitely face a military court-martial.

"Quick, grab him!" Josie shouted urgently.

If it's just one punch, there might still be room for redemption.

But if Kennedy were to suffer any serious injury, then no one could protect Aldo.

However, even without Josie shouting, the other officers knew the seriousness of the situation and quickly pulled Aldo back from continuing to beat Kennedy.

"You bastard, I'm going to kill you!" Caught off guard and punched, Kennedy was not about to let it go. He immediately tried to turn around and teach Aldo a lesson, but as soon as he swung his fist, he was grabbed and unable to move at all.

"Who is it?" The furious Kennedy turned around and immediately froze.

Because the person who captured him was no ordinary person.

Although the opponent's rank was not high, Kennedy knew that he was absolutely no match for him.

Simply because the other person's title is Captain America!
