American Comic Dimensional Trading Device

"Hmph, you better behave yourself these days and don't meddle in human affairs. I don't want to give Kamar-Taki and his gang a reason to attack us," Dracula warned his bloodline.

"The progenitor?" Nosferatu looked at Dracula with a puzzled expression.

"Hmph, it's all because of that old bitch, the Ancient One. Who knows why she's become so much stronger and doesn't seem to age at all... She's just a human, after all." Dracula said with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Still four thousand, a little late, will continue tomorrow.

Also, as you may have noticed, it seems like you can't see other people's chapter comments in the last few chapters—I've asked, and it's due to a "technical issue," and it's expected to return to normal after the 7th. Please bear with it...

I'm also still asking for monthly votes.

Chapter 126 The Weimar Conference

At night, a C-69 roared into the sky from the darkness of a military airfield.

Watching the plane disappear into the night sky, Josie, standing by the airport, couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

I don't know if keeping Hugh Jones around like this is the right or wrong thing to do.

Although Hugh Jones was observed for two weeks after being rescued, apart from being afraid of light and occasionally drinking some refrigerated blood, he did not show any aggression and remained rational.

But ultimately, Hugh Jones was already a vampire at this point, making him an anomaly to humans.

Sending him back to the United States like this would be tantamount to giving the US an inexplicable progenitor of vampires.

From a human perspective, this is not appropriate.

But for his own benefit, Josie did it anyway.

And then again, even if Hugh Jones isn't sent back, will America be free of vampires?

I'm afraid not necessarily.

Just like European vampires, not seeing them doesn't mean they don't exist.

After all, the history of European immigration to the United States is almost five hundred years old. In such a long time, it's hard for Josie to believe that not a single vampire has gone to America.

And to be honest, vampires aren't necessarily more ruthless than capitalists.

Gathering her scattered thoughts, Josie turned and got into the car, preparing to return to the fortress.

He was quite anxious because today was a special day.

That's right, it's that time of year again for opening blind boxes—no, it's the day when new dimensional beacons are generated.

I just don't know what kind of trading partner we'll be able to connect with this time.

Back at the fortress, Josie locked herself in her study.

Time ticked by, and the new dimensional beacon was finally generated. Josie didn't hesitate to deploy it immediately.

This time we were lucky; the dimensional beacon found a host in less than thirty seconds after it was deployed.

Once the interdimensional communication was established, Josie fell into complete silence.

Sure enough, luck isn't always on your side when deploying dimensional beacons.

Because what appeared on the other end of the video this time was a babbling, red-haired baby who looked about the same age as Mike and Carol, around a few months old.

Is this some kind of ball game?

For a fleeting second, Josie felt an urge to trade a grenade with the pin removed from the system inventory.

If the baby unknowingly chooses to confirm the transaction, the dimensional beacon can be found elsewhere.

However, this thought only lasted for a brief second.

Although Josie was not a good person, and countless people had died directly or indirectly at his hands, he was certainly not so vicious as to harm an infant.

Seeing this baby, Josie's mind was filled with images of her own two little children.

With a sigh, he closed the transaction communication.

This year's interdimensional trading beacon is essentially useless; trading can't be conducted until the other side's kid grows up.

However, it wasn't entirely without any gains.

Because the baby's swaddling clothes on the other side had a distinct European medieval style, it was probably from the same medieval world as Game of Thrones. Moreover, the swaddling clothes were made of very high-quality fabric, like silk, and the patterns on them were also very beautiful.

Clearly, this baby comes from a wealthy and influential family.

It's a pity it's just a baby; it would be better if it were an adult.

Oh well, if it's ruined, it's ruined. It'll just mean waiting another year.

Anyway, Qiao Xi is young and can wait, and with Jia Ying by his side, there's no need to worry about his lifespan.

In terms of technological resources, with the backing of Game of Thrones and Cretaceous Red Alert worlds, there are no problems.

The only drawback is its own strength.

But these things can't be rushed. If we really run into trouble, the beast transformation potion can help out.

The only thing to worry about is whether those vampires will find him.

However, this is unlikely, because the victim had already returned to the United States, and the bombing order came from the Allied Supreme Command.

In addition, key insiders Colonel Ward and General Fletcher, Josie had Ophelia secretly alter some of their memories.

Therefore, if the vampires really want to retaliate, the high-ranking officers of the US military stationed in Europe will most likely be the ones to suffer in the end, and Josie will definitely have enough time to react.

However, more than half a month has passed since the incident, and the expected revenge from the vampires has not yet arrived.

So Josie was completely relieved.

It seems that Dame Ellen doesn't hold a very high position in Nosferatu's heart.

That was all he could think.

As for whether there were other reasons that prevented the vampires from taking their revenge, Josie had no way of knowing.

The days that followed were peaceful.

With it confirmed that no trades could be conducted in the new dimension for the next N years, Josie had no choice but to focus her energy on business.

And the business is thriving.

More than half a month later...

"Boss, look at this!" Just as Josie got up to have breakfast, Vito rushed into the restaurant with a telegram in his hand.

"Is the message confirmed?" After reading the contents of the telegram, Josie's expression became slightly serious.

“It’s been confirmed!” Vito nodded.

The telegram was sent by the council and contained two main points.

The first item states that the four countries are preparing to hold a meeting.

Because the wars in Europe ended too quickly, the Yalta and Potsdam conferences, two of the four major conferences in history, were never held.

However, not holding a meeting doesn't mean it won't be held. At most, it just means changing the time and place, turning two meetings into one.

Sure enough, the telegram stated that the four countries had agreed to hold a meeting next week in Weimar, a small town with special significance located on the border between the east and west. After Germany's defeat in World War I, the new German government held a parliament in this cultural town to avoid the riots in Berlin, which is also the origin of the name Weimar Republic after World War I.

The fact that the four countries chose this location for the meeting can be seen as a form of retaliatory criticism.

The second item on the telegram was something Josie had been eagerly anticipating: the first nuclear bomb had been completed and was about to be tested, with the test scheduled for two days before the Weimar Conference.

The timing was carefully chosen; one of the themes of the Weimar Conference, like the Potsdam Conference in the original timeline, was to urge Japan to surrender.

If Japan refuses to surrender, the US military is prepared to use nuclear weapons, which would also serve as a deterrent to other countries.

In addition to the first nuclear bomb that has been completed and is ready for testing.

The second batch of six nuclear bombs is also in production, with workers working overtime to produce them.

That's right, the number of nuclear bombs prepared for deployment is not the original two, but six.

As for its power, it's about the same as the little boy and fat man from the original timeline, as well as the one that didn't explode.

It's not that the military didn't want to increase the power, but given that airdrop was the only long-range delivery method available at that time, the carrying capacity of bombers had to be considered.

The most powerful existing B-29 bomber can carry up to nine tons of bombs, but this is only possible for short-range, low-altitude missions.

Based on the amount of fuel needed to safely return to Japan from a relatively safe occupied area, and considering the estimated power of a nuclear explosion, the B-29 can only carry a nuclear bomb weighing around four tons to ensure its safety.

This is why the little boy and the fat man weighed almost the same, both around 4.5 tons.

Therefore, the later online legend that the B-29 that bombed Nagasaki dropped a dud bomb in addition to the F-29, which was then given to the Soviet Union by the Japanese, is just a rumor that cannot stand up to scrutiny.

While the B-29 is impressive, it simply doesn't have the capability to carry two such heavy nuclear bombs over long distances in a single mission.

The reason why Russia was able to produce the atomic bomb was because it obtained technical data from Germany and its own technological accumulation, and it had nothing to do with the United States.

However, while the power cannot be increased, the quantity can still be increased.

In the original timeline, after Truman came to power, the original plan was to bomb six targets, not two.

However, due to changes in the war situation and various factors such as insufficient production, it eventually became two.

But six is ​​already the limit.

Because there isn't enough enriched uranium and plutonium.

For the United States, with its strong industrial capabilities, manufacturing the warhead of a nuclear bomb is easy, but obtaining the nuclear materials for weapons is not so easy, and the main production cost of a nuclear bomb lies in these materials.
