American Manga Dimensional Trader

After several days of inquiries, although there is still no concrete evidence... After all, there was not even a single witness at the time.

But according to Josie's judgment, there is a high probability that the US team was really teleported by the universe cube.

As for where it was sent, it is impossible to judge.

Although in the original plot, the Red Skull was sent to the planet of Womir to act as a guide for another Infinity Stone, the Soul Stone, but in Josie's mind, this Infinity Stone should not require two guides.

Therefore, even if the two were teleported away together, the possibility of appearing together on Vormir is very low.

As for the fact that Team America was teleported away, Josie's personal attitude was regretful with joy.

It's a pity because although he and Captain America are not really good friends, they are more or less acquaintances.

Fortunately, it is very simple. Although he has not yet been recognized by the Council of Nine, he has actually become the head of a Hydra branch and the hidden enemy of Team America.

Although not afraid of the other party, it would still feel a little uncomfortable to suddenly change from a familiar person to a dead enemy.

That's fine now.

After feeling a little bit, Josie stopped paying too much attention to this matter.

As for the cube of the universe... When he truly occupies the Council of Nine, nothing will matter.

The next day, in the valley west of Innsbruck, a city in western Austria, a luxury motorcade slowly drove into a small town called Obsteiger located here.

The people in the town looked at the team curiously.

Because this small town is located in a remote place, the war hardly disturbs it, and few troops or big figures come here, so it is natural to feel very surprised to see a luxury motorcade suddenly appear here. strangeness.

Although it is only a small town, because Austria is the most essential part of the once world-class power, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the roads here are also well built, and the motorcade can easily shuttle in the town.

After a lot of twists and turns, the convoy was finally in front of a small building with a yard on the northern edge of the town.

The arrival of the convoy attracted the attention of a big dog in the yard, which immediately roared twice as a warning.

As the convoy stopped, Josie, who was wearing a coat, stepped out of one of the cars, and the one who got off behind him was Ophelia in classic attire.

Josh, who just got off the car, saw the big dog in the yard at a glance, and his eyes suddenly lit up. This is a very robust Alpine elf - the Swiss national dog, St. Bernard.

Known for guarding travelers crossing the Alpine trails, this large dog is loved not only in Switzerland but throughout the country around the Alps.

Since it is a very docile dog breed, in the face of Josh and the other group of uninvited guests, apart from barking a few times as a warning and staring at them vigilantly, they did not act aggressively.

This is your childhood home? It looks like it has a new owner! Ophelia asked Josie after looking up and down the building, ignoring the roar of the Saint Bernard.

It's normal. My father sold it before I left. I don't know who it was sold to, Josie replied.

That's right, this town, this small building, is the hometown of Josie's body.

About 20 kilometers north of this town is the Bavarian town of Shiwanggao.

There, there are two castles facing each other across the mountain.

It is the old and new two Swan Castles where the famous Bavarian King Ludwig II once lived.

That's why, before coming to Europe, Josie suddenly had a desire for Neuschwanstein Castle.

Because when this body lived here as a child, under the leadership of his father, he rode a horse to hunt in the mountains and forests on the border, and watched the two beautiful castles by the way.

And now, Josie is here to take over the two castles... The ownership of these two castles was originally in the hands of the Bavarian state government, but in the late World War II, Bavaria was first annexed by the Hydra Corps, and now it is It was occupied by Austria, so its ownership naturally fell into the hands of Austria.

During Josie's time in Austria, after using a series of tricks, he obtained the ownership of these two castles for almost no money.

But don't think that Josie is really taking advantage of it.

Hohenschwangau Castle can be said that it is a completed building, and it can be lived in with a little repair.

And Neuschwanstein Castle... is still an unfinished building.

At the end of the 19th century, the Bavarian king spent a full 6.2 million marks to build Neuschwanstein Castle.

That was the silver mark of the time of Frederick III (the mark at that time was divided into gold and silver), not the mark that has become waste paper now.

In Germany, the mark is not only a monetary unit, but also a unit of mass.

1 Prussian mark is equivalent to 223 grams.

That is to say, 1 mark = 223 grams of silver, which is almost four taels. According to the taels of the Qing Dynasty, it is six taels.

Then 6.2 million marks is 37.2 million taels of silver.

In the same period, how much did the old witch Cixi spend to build a Summer Palace? More than ten million taels of silver!

In other words, Ludwig II, the Bavarian king, was even more extravagant than Cixi.

Because of this, he was deposed by the royal family on the grounds of mental illness and died mysteriously a few days later.

When he died, because of his extravagance, not only the treasury of the entire Bavarian royal family was exhausted, but he also left a deficit of 15 million marks.

It is no wonder that until the 1960s, Bavarians mentioned that the king still called him lunatic, called him mentally ill, and regarded the construction of Neuschwanstein as foolishness.

But what happened to Ludwig had nothing to do with Josh. It was related to the fact that when Ludwig died, the special Neuschwanstein Castle had not been completed, only the external body had been completed.

Of the 360 ​​rooms in the entire Neuschwanstein Castle, only 14 were actually completed.

It was not until the 1990s that the Bavarian state government began to gradually repair and improve it, but at that time, the Neuschwanstein Castle brought tens of millions of marks or euros to Bavaria every year.

And Josh wants to finish Neuschwanstein Castle, and it is not so easy under normal circumstances without spending eighteen million dollars.

Fortunately, I just got tens of thousands of free labor from General McGinnis before, isn't it going to come in handy now?

Thanks to the excellent basic education in the German region, there are many talents who understand engineering, and the worst can be a coolie, right?

For these prisoners of war, Josie only needs to provide food and clothing, which reduces the labor cost to a minimum.

However, these people are still being screened and groomed in the prisoner of war camp, and it will take some time before they will be sent here.

So Josie did not rush to take over the castle immediately, but first came to the hometown of Obsteiger.

While Josh and Ophelia were talking, the current owner of the small building had been alarmed by the movement brought by the motorcade and the barking of the dog, and walked out of the house.

There is another chapter that is expected to be approaching in the morning. You can read it tomorrow without waiting.
