American Comic Dimensional Trading Device

It's just a pity.

Josie shook her head as she thought about it.

“Mr. Kahn, what do you mean by shaking your head?” Ophelia asked, frowning.

“The idea is good, but whether the coup will succeed is another matter. Even if it does succeed, what makes you think you can withstand a joint counterattack from Mustache and Schmidt? Those two are both lunatics!” Josie asked.

“That’s why we’re looking for you. Based on what I know from Mr. Schneider, you have a very good relationship with the top brass of the US military. So we hope you can represent us and persuade the Allied forces to advance rapidly from Italy toward Austria and attack the Alpine defenses while we revolt. We will then attack from the rear. Once we meet up, it will be very convenient whether we attack Schmidt to the west or to the north against Hitler!” Ophelia said confidently.

"Then, once the war is completely over, you can join the feast of partitioning Germany as a victorious nation, just like France, and completely integrate Bavaria and Austria... Am I right?" Josie continued Ophelia's words with a smile.

“Of course, we deserve it, don’t we?” Ophelia said with a smile.

“That’s true, but I still don’t understand why you came to me. You could have talked to the Allied high command yourselves about this. I don’t believe you don’t have connections!” Josie asked.

“In fact, using you as a lobbyist is only one of our purposes. The real reason is that we want to recruit you into our team.” At this point, Ophelia paused to compose herself before giving her answer, “Your connections, funds, and even technology are all things we need… especially that potion that can turn people into beasts.”

"...You captured Aldo?" Upon hearing about the potion that turned people into beasts, Josie's previously gentle expression immediately turned sour.

So far, Josie has only distributed four doses of the Beast Transformation Potion.

The Blackwater gang leader, Dix, had one, his two most capable bodyguards, Vito and Brooke, each had one, and Aldo had one.

Furthermore, Qiao Xijun only told the four of them that this thing could only be used in times of crisis, without explaining the specific effects of the potion. Therefore, unless one of the four of them had used it, even the owners of the potion would not know its actual effects.

Now that Ophelia has used the word "beastification," it means they have witnessed the use of the potion.

Meanwhile, the local Dix had been in constant telegraphic contact with Josie and showed no signs of anything unusual, so it was highly unlikely that he had used the drug.

Vito and Brooke, needless to say, had been by Josie's side the whole time and had no chance to use the drug either.

Therefore, it is obvious that the problem must lie with Aldo.

It's highly likely that this unfortunate guy was captured by Hydra.

“No, no, no, we didn’t capture him. I saved him. About two weeks ago, when I was passing through Paris, I happened to see him transforming and slaughtering German soldiers. So I followed him and witnessed him revert to human form!” Ophelia hurriedly explained.

"And then you used mind control to control him, and from him you learned everything about me, right?" After hearing her explanation, Josie stared into her eyes and asked.

That makes sense now; no wonder this "family member" suddenly came to him.

It turns out the problem lies with Aldo. No wonder the Army Ministry hasn't received any intelligence about Aldo for over a month; he's run into trouble.

“…Hehe, isn’t this more convenient?…I’m used to it! I’m used to it~~” Ophelia said, slightly embarrassed.

“I understand. If I had that ability, I would do the same!” Josie surprisingly agreed with Ophelia’s approach.

Yes, if it's such a convenient capability, why not use it?

Hearing what Josie said, Ophelia couldn't help but relax a little.

"However, being able to understand doesn't mean you can forgive!" Before Ophelia could relax for even a few seconds, Josie's next words made her heart jump again.

"Where is he now?" Josie asked again.

“Paris, I’ve placed him in one of our secret bases in Paris!” Ophelia replied hastily.

Chapter 85 Collar

"What is this?" Ophelia raised an eyebrow as she looked at the glossy liquid in the ornate crystal glass that the maid had brought to her.

“I’ve decided to trust you and cooperate with you, but I think we need to take some necessary precautions. And this is a special poison… If you drink it, you’ll be fine as long as you take the antidote every seven days, but if you don’t take the antidote on time, you’ll die from your intestines rotting.” Josie said with a smile, “So… now it depends on your sincerity.”

Upon hearing Josie's words, not only Ophelia but also Vito and the others swallowed hard. Could there really be such a powerful poison in the world that could control people?

"Fine, I'll drink it!" Ophelia's face turned pale and then red. After hesitating for a while, she finally gritted her teeth, picked up the cup, and gulped it down in one go.

"Great!" Josie couldn't help but clap her hands upon seeing this.

“Okay, now… wait, how do I…” Ophelia was about to speak when she felt dizzy and collapsed onto the table in front of her.

"...BOSS, didn't you say it would take seven days to take effect? ​​What's going on?" Vito was taken aback for a moment, then asked.

"Tch, you think there really is such a poison in the world? I was just kidding her. It's just a strong anesthetic. Don't just stand there, hurry up and tie her up, tie her up tightly!" Qiao Xi rolled her eyes when she heard this. This isn't some martial arts or fantasy world, how could there be such a magical poison that can be so precise that it can cause poisoning at the exact time?

“Ah… I see, hehe, the boss really knows how to play!” Vito chuckled upon hearing what Josie said.

"You don't understand anything, hurry up!" Josie urged.

Seeing this, Vito did not hesitate, took out a rope, and tied Ophelia up tightly.

Seeing that Ophelia truly had no chance of resisting, Josie, amidst the ambiguous glances of the bodyguards, finally drove them out.

Josie didn't bother arguing with these people. After they left, she stuffed Ophelia into the trading device and handed it to Yuri on the other side. After explaining her thoughts to Yuri, she left the reception room.

Seeing that Josh came out so quickly, the bodyguards guarding outside couldn't help but turn their heads... Their boss came out so fast?

However, after seeing that Josie's clothes were completely untouched, they realized they had misunderstood; it seemed their boss had no intention of doing anything to that woman.

Clearly, Vito and the others had misunderstood. Josie wasn't unwilling to do anything to Ophelia; it was just that there were some things he didn't need to do himself, nor did he have the ability to do them.

"How is Lyndon?" Instead of arguing with the bodyguards about such a trivial matter, she asked about Lyndon.

This old guy is over fifty and looks thin and small. Josie is really worried that he can't withstand the strain.

“Mr. Schneider is resting in his guest room. I was very careful. He should be fine after he sleeps,” Brooke replied, having already returned.

"That's good. Since you're all free now, you should go back and pack your things. We'll be going to France soon!" Josie nodded.

Just as he had said before, he was prepared to agree to cooperate with Ophelia and her Hydra team, and wouldn't even mind joining them.

As for the specific cooperation method, it still needs to be discussed, and he must keep the initiative in the cooperation.

But no matter what, France is a must-go destination, since the Allied command has already moved there as the Allied forces have made smooth progress on the French front.

Supporting the Austrian coup required the support of the Allied high command, specifically Supreme Commander Eisenhower.

In fact, even Eisenhower, as the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe, could not make such decisions entirely on his own; he needed the consent of the top leaders on the mainland, Roosevelt and Marshall.

However, if Eisenhower's support could be secured, the matter would be one-third complete, while the White House's opinion would be the other third.

As for the last third, that was the opinion of Britain, France, and Russia.

When Josie mentioned going to France, the bodyguards' eyes lit up.

France!

Oh, the French Rose!

They've had enough of the English Roses lately; it's time for a change.

"Let's go, hurry up!" Seeing the expressions on these LSPs' faces, Josie knew what they were thinking and waved her hand dismissively.

The guys didn't mind and happily went to make preparations.

After giving his instructions, Josh returned to his study and made a phone call to a familiar officer in the Army Aviation Corps, requesting a plane to go to the front-line command post the next day.

During such a tense period of war, there were naturally no civilian flights, and even civilian ships were basically nonexistent. All the ships in the English Channel belonged to the military.

Fortunately, given Josh's current good relationship with the military, especially the Army, getting a plane is just a matter of a word.

After making the call, a notification came from the interdimensional trading device.

Josie checked the time; it had been less than half an hour since she sent Ophelia over. Yuri was really efficient.

Josie immediately returned to her bedroom, opened the trading device, and Yuri traded Ophelia and some other items back to her.

Ophelia returned from the transaction looking much the same as before, except that the restraints on her body had been removed and she now wore a silver metal collar around her neck.

Of course, there are some changes that are not visible.

For example, a little gadget appeared in her brain.

"How good is she?" Josie asked Yuri, looking at Ophelia in the system's inventory.

"Very rudimentary mind control ability, at the level of an elite mind infantryman. I've also made the modified mind control you requested, plus the collar and the miniature bomb on the back of her head. Everything about her is now in your hands," Yuri commented. "Furthermore, I've also read her memories, which are basically consistent with what you said before. Other relevant information is also in that notebook."

Although the helmet-shaped mental defense device was reliable, wearing a helmet all day long was a bit too strange, so Josie asked Yuri to modify it into a necklace in the style of a military tag.

Of course, this would reduce the effectiveness considerably, but it would be sufficient to guard against mind controllers of Ophelia's caliber.

Having gotten what he wanted, Josie thanked Yuri and then closed the trading device.

Then he removed Ophelia from the system, tossed her onto the bed, and went about his own business.

It was more than half an hour later when Ophelia awoke again.

She had no idea that she had been traded to another world while she was unconscious, so she had no idea what happened during that time.

Upon waking up, Ophelia immediately checked her body to make sure there was nothing wrong with her clothes before she breathed a sigh of relief.

Ophelia is indeed a well-known Hydra lady in the Marvel Universe, but she is still quite naive. She graduated from Hydra Academy only a few years ago and is just over twenty years old; she's still a newbie.

She had only breathed a sigh of relief for a few seconds when she felt something strange on her neck. She reached out and touched the collar around her neck.

He frowned and walked to the full-length mirror not far away.

After examining the collar, she instinctively tried to remove it. However, as soon as she tugged at the collar, it suddenly released a strong electric current, causing her to convulse and fall to the ground.

When Josie heard the commotion and came in from the outside, she saw a beautiful snake writhing on the ground.

Chapter 86 A Gathering of Stars

The following morning, Josh and his group appeared at the Army Aviation Military Airport.
