American Manga Dimensional Trader

A DC-3 airliner slowly landed in Los Angeles.

Jarvis stood at the disembarkation point with a parasol in his hand, observing the passengers as they got off the plane.

Soon, his eyes were locked on a tall, dark-haired lady with sunglasses, and her face was suddenly distorted.

Oh, dear Mr. Jarvis, it looks like you are very unhappy to see me? Just as Jarvis was struggling, the other party had walked to his side and joked with a smile.

No, I'm very happy, welcome to Los Angeles, Ida Palmer... oh no, it should be Ms. Dottie Underwood, I didn't expect the CIA to photograph you. Jarvis looked on He greeted awkwardly, but the sarcasm in his tone obviously did not match his words.

That's right, the one who got off the plane was the former Leviathan agent Dottie - but she is now a senior agent in the CIA operations department, directly under the command of Ophelia.

And this time, it represents Josie coming to Los Angeles to contact Howard.

Oh, dear Mr. Jarvis, are you still brooding about the past? The sarcasm in Jarvis's tone on the opposite side made Dottie not angry and still smiled.

There's a reason Jarvis didn't want to see her, and that's because of the title at the beginning, Ida Palmer.

When Dotty was a Leviathan agent more than a year ago, he used this identity to approach Howard, and then obtained a lot of information from Howard and Jarvis, and together with Leviathan's companions, stole Howard Star. Clark's private vault, which sparked a series of Leviathan-related cases last year and made Howard Stark a traitor.

But in the end, after she was included in the CIA, she became a tainted witness and returned Howard's innocence.

Of course, in the process, Howard lost more than a dozen inventions, and there was a small bottle of American team blood, so he could only swallow tears in his stomach... In the end, the reason for everything was that Howard couldn't control himself. caused by the lower body.

And Josie sent Dotty to contact Howard, in addition to being inconvenient to show up, but also because these two people know each other's depth and length.

Hehe, I dare not, Ms. Underwood, please come with me! Jarvis greeted him with his hand, revealing the convertible luxury car behind him.

...Well, Mr. Jarvis, I know that Howard came to Los Angeles because he took a defense order and was going to build a space launch center here, and you came here most likely to take care of the property here for him. ...but... Dottie looked at the car not far away, a little confused on his face.

Well, yes, the reason Howard is in LA has a lot to do with Josie.

Josh's companies have won large orders from the military many times, especially Boeing's fighter aircraft orders and space launch projects. Although it did not cause a large-scale commercial impact, it also aroused Howard's competitive spirit.

So he recently joined TWA and Lockheed, which control a lot of shares, and the newly established Air Force Department to build a new space launch center in Santa Barbara County, north of Los Angeles, to enter the aerospace industry. In order to compete with Josie's Boeing Company - in 1947, the US Army Aviation Command officially separated from the US War Department and established the US Air Force.

The newly established Air Force obviously does not want most of its orders to remain in the hands of Josie's Boeing.

And the Air Force also intends to get involved in the aerospace industry - in the opinion of the newly established Air Force executives, everything that flies in the sky should be under their control.

It's just that the top executives of the two veteran arms of the navy and the army don't buy their accounts at all.

It is also impossible for Josie to let the War Department, which has always had a good relationship, not cooperate, but to cooperate with the Air Force - the scale of the US military's order is too large, and Josie's size cannot do it , nor can it be done.

So the Air Force thought of Howard Stark, who had been working very well with Boeing before the rise of Boeing.

The two sides also hit it off.

And the location where they are going to build the space center is also the only other space center in the original time and space except the Truman Space Center, which was circled by Josie - Vandenberg Air Force Base.

Such a big project must be hidden from the CIA... Of course, the other party didn't want to hide it.

So Dottie knew what Howard was doing, and it was normal.

And what surprised her was obviously not this.

Yes, I know what you're going to say, because of that flamingo, right? Jarvis said with a hint of helplessness on his face.

Yes, a flamingo... Dottie silently looked at the back seat of the luxury car, where there was a huge transparent showcase, and in the showcase was a pink flamingo.

Well, alive.

I'm sorry, you're not the only guest that Mr. Howard is going to entertain... Come and meet the new member of Stark's mansion zoo, it's called Bernard... Jarvis introduced with a face full of love. .

Perhaps, this is the quirk shared by the rich like them... Dottie twitched the corners of his mouth and said.

They? Jarvis raised his eyebrows involuntarily.

Yes, my current boss, Mr. Josh Kahn, has a white lion and a silver-backed gorilla in his yard... Dotty said feebly.

Well, this is actually quite normal. Dottie won't tell Jarvis that there are some dinosaurs in Josh's manor...

In fact, not to mention dinosaurs, just lions and silverback gorillas have already made Jarvis change his color.

What kind of people would keep lions and gorillas in their yard?

In such a comparison, the owner's own boss raises a flamingo, which is simply too peaceful.

Lions and orangutans? Oh, Mr. Kahn is more ya-hsing than I thought, Jarvis, help me remember, when I have my next vacation, I will also go to Africa, um, since Kahn has raised A lion, or a white lion, then I can't keep it, but I can get a few cheetahs or leopards, and some zebras... rhinos, elephants, etc., hornbills, ostriches, yes, these are not bad! Hours later, Howard muttered in his mouth.

On the other hand, Jarvis was about to faint. Why did he have peaceful thoughts of his own boss before?

Cough, Mr. Stark, should we talk about business first? Dotty glanced at Jarvis with some sympathy, interrupting Howard and said.

Ah, yes, zero matter... Dottie, I don't think we should have such a relationship. Just call me Howard! Compared with Jarvis, Howard, who has always been tolerant of women, is obviously not so tolerant. hated Dottie, and was even happy to see Dottie.

As for the reason...well, I understand.

Okay, Howard! Dotty also understands Howard's little thought, and will not break it.

Excellent... What do you CIA want to know about zero matter? Howard gave a thumbs up and asked.

It's very simple, how can we resist the invasiveness of zero matter, or eliminate it. Dottie said.

As soon as Dottie's words came out, Howard's expression immediately became serious. What happened?

When Josie was the CIA, he just said that he needed to find out about some research about zero matter, so although Howard didn't refuse, he didn't take it too seriously.

But now that Dottie is talking about how to deal with the invasiveness of zero matter, the situation may not be so simple.

Since that's the case, then I won't hide it, social sports club, Howard, you should know? Seeing that Howard seemed to have guessed something, Dotty said bluntly.

Of course, of course I know! Howard shrugged, his face a little unnatural.

The Social Athletic Club is the external business card of the nine-member council. It is open and aimed at attracting elites from various fields in the United States. This win is not to include all these people in Hydra, but only for the exchange of interests. .

The real Hydra is limited to the Council of Nine.

It's just that the club only recruits male white elites as members, and the conditions are very harsh.

And Howard obviously fully met all the conditions, so he was once invited, and Hugh Jones also became friends with Howard at that time. Naturally, there is no situation where he does not know this club.

But apparently the economic and social club, which is mainly dominated by old men, did not meet Howard's appetite. After joining for a period of time, he quit.

But the reason he quit was not just because he didn't like the atmosphere inside, but also because of the character of his flower company - which made him feud with many members, including Hugh Jones - most of the members were Old rich people, and these rich people often like to raise some young girls.

Compared with these old and frail old men, the young and handsome Howard is obviously easy to seduce the hearts of the canaries in these rich families.

In this case, there will be ghosts if there is no enmity.

Yesterday we at the CIA received a request for help from Mr. Hugh Jones, the cause is that one of the club's members, the president of Itherdan, Calvin Chadwick, like your Stark Group, also accepted the War Department's request for zero There was a scientific research order for matter, and there was a breakthrough not long ago, but Calvin Chadwick did not submit the research results, but yesterday morning, using zero matter as a weapon, massacred several members of the club, Trying to take control of the club by force, threatening members to become its vassals... Howard, I think you should understand, as those members of the club, if Calvin succeeds... what consequences will be caused! Dottie will be yesterday morning What happened was stated as it was, and of course, the details were slightly adjusted. For example, Josie was also a member of the club, but the party who needed help was placed on Hugh Jones.

In this way, Josie's personal debt to Howard was completely avoided, and this matter became a mere partnership in which the CIA invited Howard to help handle the case.

Hearing Dottie mentioning Hugh Jones, Howard's face became even more unnatural. Although he likes to steal fishy, ​​he still wants to be embarrassed.

Fortunately, now is not the time to trace his pickling.

It turns out that Calvin can actually manipulate zero matter and use it as a weapon? This is really bad news, but you came just in time. I do have a way to deal with zero matter, and that is gamma rays. ! Howard nodded, then said.

Gamma rays? Dottie was slightly taken aback when she heard the term, she had never heard of this kind of ray.

That's right, gamma rays! The generation of gamma rays bursts with intense bursts of high-energy photons, which are exactly the kind of photon pulses that eliminate zero matter! Howard explained.

So that's the case, then do you have the equipment to make gamma rays? Dottie asked.

Yes, but the power is not high enough, I have to build a bigger one, but it will take a little time! Howard said.

How much time is one hour? Dottie asked, frowning.

If it's fast, it can be done within 12 hours. In addition, I have a condition! Howard said, just like in the future, his son will be able to churn out a small particle accelerator with his bare hands in just one day, rushing to work temporarily It doesn't take much time to come up with a gamma radiation device.

What conditions? Dottie was puzzled.

I have to control this thing myself! Howard said.

You mean the thing will act with us after it's built? Dottie frowned.

Of course, otherwise God knows what you will do with my things! Howard shrugged.

...If you insist, of course there will be no problem! Dottie agreed without too much hesitation.

OK, it's not too late, I'll go to the laboratory now, Jarvis, come with me, there are some things that you need to prepare. Howard walked towards his laboratory, although he was a playboy, But Howard, like his future son Tony, instantly becomes a research madman when he encounters a problem that interests him.

I'm here, sir, Ms. Underwood, please do it! Jarvis also apologized to Dottie, and hurriedly followed.

Okay...Sir, I'll keep an eye on him! Seeing Howard and Jarvis leaving, Dotty's face showed a smile, and then he touched his earrings and said.

But it was her conversation with Howard just now that Ophelia on the other side had been monitoring her, and her earring was a small bug.

Then Ophelia immediately reported the situation to Josie.

And Josie, after knowing that the best thing to deal with zero matter is gamma rays, immediately opened the trader and contacted Yuri-although Josie did not doubt Howard's research and development ability, but put the eggs in one basket It's not his character.

Gamma rays? It's easy! It can be done in four hours at most! After listening to Josie's request, Yuri immediately gave a time, which was three points shorter than the time required by Howard. of two.

Of course, this does not prove that Yuri is necessarily smarter than Howard, after all, the gap between the technological foundations of the two worlds is there.

In the Marvel world, the research on gamma rays is limited to a very small number of cutting-edge scientists such as Howard. This is actually quite good. If it was the world before Josie crossed, it would not be discovered until the 1970s. What about the presence of gamma rays?

But in the red alert world, gamma rays are not a rarity at all.

Coupled with the help of Josie in the past few years, Yuri's base in the Cretaceous has basically recovered to the level of productivity in the middle of the red and blue camp war. Under the circumstances of Yuri's own hands, he temporarily rushed out a gamma ray. Guns are naturally not too big of a problem.
