The nine-member council was completely unexpected that Josie could possess complete nuclear weapons technology, and Calvin Chadwick, who originally wanted to use this matter to sway Josie, looked even more ugly.
Because the Manhattan Project is a super weapon with lethal deterrent power not only for the United States, but also for the whole world. For the forces behind several board members involved in this project, including the Iseldam Group,
It also represents the resource tilt within Hydra.
Previously, Iseldam Energy Group relied on its important position in the Manhattan Project and received a lot of support from within the organization.
But now that Qiao Xi was provoked by him, he directly took out the complete technical data chain. Although the organization would not be able to recoup its previous investment, there would definitely be no subsequent resource tilt.
For Calvin, this wave really shot himself in the foot.
I can only express my last hope in my heart, hoping that Josie is bragging.
But the next day, as a truckload of paper information was sent to a research institute under a certain council in New York to be verified by scientists affiliated with the council, Calvin's last hope was completely shattered.
Yes, a whole truck... Although in later generations, the principles of the atomic bomb were regarded as physics knowledge that high school students could understand.
However, theoretical knowledge and actual detailed manufacturing processes are still extremely complex matters.
So even though a truck was used to transport the data, Yuri had deliberately streamlined it.
And if Yuri hadn't already built up a relatively rudimentary supercomputer and started to store the almost endless knowledge in his mind, it would have been impossible to prepare all the information in just one day.
But when it comes to handing over the information to the council, how the council hands these things over to the military is not something that Josie needs to worry about.
As for whether helping the United States get the atomic bomb in advance will make the world more turbulent, Qiao Xi is not worried.
Just give one to the furry bear later.
As long as the two poles are balanced, this battle will be difficult to fight.
The detailed design information of the atomic bomb once again gave Josie great prestige in the council.
With a wave of his hand, the council leaders headed by Thomas placed a large number of Hydra's public properties and resources in Illinois and Europe under the jurisdiction of Josie.
Good guy, there are more than a dozen top research institutes.
There are dozens of enterprises and factories of various types.
There are countless funds and personnel.
Although these resources are only handed over to Qiao Xi for management and are not given directly to him, they are still of great help to Qiao Xi.
Especially for the original trip to Europe, the funds allocated by the Council to Qiao Xi increased from 500 million to 1 billion... This is definitely a terrifying number. You must know that during World War II, the entire United States provided allied funds through the Lend-Lease Act.
The total amount of resources is only 50 billion, with an average of more than 10 billion per year.
The total cost of the Manhattan Project was only over 2 billion.
In addition, there are several shipping companies, hundreds of free ships and the right to allocate corresponding supplies.
This shows how terrible the resources the council has at its disposal are.
To be honest, Josie was very surprised by the generosity of the council.
However, he also knew that precisely because these resources were large enough, as long as the person in charge was not a pig, it would not cause too much damage.
Even if there is a loss, it will not be a big deal for the board of directors of a large consortium that controls four - no, five companies now.
Therefore, such a large-scale initiative by the Board of Directors is also a test to some extent.
During this trip to Europe, if Josie can make good use of these resources and bring enough considerable benefits to the council, then his status as a director can be truly stabilized.
Otherwise, he is going to be a mascot like Calvin, who seems to have a high status but is actually semi-marginalized.
But this time, Josie was not the only one on the council to go to Europe. With him, there was also the controller of the Roxon Group, Huw Jones.
As soon as Christmas is over, they are ready to head to Europe.
Although Margot understood that Josie was going to Europe again just over two months after returning to the United States, she was still a little dissatisfied.
She actually wanted to go to Europe with her, but her two children were still young and not suitable for a long trip.
After all, the medical care and sanitary environment these days are incomparable with those of later generations. Children as young as two months old are too fragile, and a little bit of acclimatization may take away their lives.
So in the end, Margot could only vent her dissatisfaction by violently squeezing Josie after she passed the recovery period.
"Hoho, it's only been two months, and London has already changed a lot!" Josie sat in a luxury Bentley on the streets of London and couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the lively streets in London.
Just like last time, Josie came to the UK by plane, and Hugh Jones, who wanted a comfortable trip, is still riding an ocean liner and floating in the Atlantic Ocean with the transport fleet.
But this time, Josie didn't squeeze into the plane with others.
Because for the sake of convenience, Josh directly used the equipment for private use, using the resources of the council, plus his own good personal relationship with the Department of the Army, to buy a C-69 strategic transport aircraft from the Army Air Force.
This is a strategic transport aircraft developed and manufactured by Lockheed in the late World War II. Its range is even farther than the B-29 bomber of the Ming Dynasty, reaching an astonishing more than 7,400 kilometers in this era. It is highly valued by the military.
.
However, this aircraft was only tested at the end of 2043, and the first one was officially delivered in mid-2044.
By the end of World War II, the Army's order of more than 200 aircraft had only delivered a total of 22 aircraft.
Therefore it is somewhat obscure.
However, in the late 1950s, during the South Vietnam War, the successor models of this aircraft were purchased in large quantities and used as early warning aircraft and electronic intelligence-specific aircraft, as well as for aerial radio relay, weather reconnaissance, and conventional troop transportation.
It was not eliminated until the 1980s.
This shows its reliability.
By the way, in the original time and space, this aircraft was developed at the request of Howard Hughes, the major shareholder of TWA.
In this world, it was developed with the participation of Howard Stark.
As for whether Qiao Xi would get involved in aerospace in the future...well, he had thought about it before, but he didn't need to do it now.
Because among the five consortiums controlled by the board of directors, two are major shareholders of Lockheed...
"It's normal. Now that the war has officially ended, except for a small number of occupying troops, most of the soldiers have naturally returned home. Coupled with the full restoration of overseas routes, it has naturally begun to prosper. It's just that family relations are a bit...
Not very harmonious." The respectful middle-aged man sitting next to Qiao Xi said with a slight mockery as he looked at the couple quarreling in front of the apartment on the roadside.
This middle-aged man's name is John Herberman, who appears to be a British citizen, but is actually of Bavarian descent.
He was once Mustache, a double agent stationed in the UK by Hydra, with a high status.
However, with the demise of Mustache and Bavaria being incorporated into Austria, he naturally lost his original mission.
At the end of the war, this guy was planning to pack up and run away, but Ophelia came to the door and was immediately taken under Josie's command like other Hydra branches in Europe.
Because he already had a certain social status in the UK, while serving as the top manager of Hydra in the UK, he also became Lyndon's subordinate and the person in charge of Josie's Kahn Group in the UK.
Whether it is Germany, Hydra, or even Austria now, Britain is actually a competitor - don't look at the fact that Britain previously supported Operation Return to the Eagle's Nest and the coups in Bavaria and Austria.
But the main reason was because Britain was too eager to end the war.
Now as soon as the war is over, the British have begun to turn their backs on each other. They have stated at allied conferences several times that Bavaria and Austria also committed a large number of crimes during the war and should pay a certain price for this.
Bavaria and Austria should not merge!
And for Austria's attempt to obtain the status of a victorious power, the biggest obstacle was also the United Kingdom.
The situation in France is similar. In the two months since Josie was away, a new French Constituent Assembly has been elected.
Although de Gaulle continued to serve as leader of the provisional government, he had actually begun to be deliberately marginalized.
Except for the French occupation forces in Germany, the last man in France has actually lost control of the domestic situation in France.
French politicians have also begun to collude with the British and are vaguely targeting Austria.
Fortunately, the United States does not want to see Western Europe monolithic, especially the United Kingdom and France, which do not want to be too united. In addition, they also have to face the threat from the furry bears. Therefore, although they do not support Austria in gaining the status of a victorious nation, they do not want it.
Oppose the sanctions against Austria proposed by Britain and France and the division of Bavaria and Austria.
Therefore, the current internal structure of the Allied Forces is also very delicate.
Under such circumstances, it would be strange that John Herberman, who had been engaged in underground struggle with the British since the beginning of the war, would have a favorable attitude towards the British.
So what about the victorious countries? Isn’t the rear area a mess?
In the past few months, town halls across the UK have been filled with returning soldiers queuing up for divorce.
You can see quarreling couples on the street every day.
There is no way, many British women and American soldiers go too far and get pregnant a lot.
His wife was pregnant on the flagship he was fighting on the front line. Any British soldier with any brain would not be unaware of the problems inside. If he asked the neighbors, everything would become clear.
Some people with better feelings may be able to tolerate it, but most people definitely won't be able to tolerate it.
"Haha, wait, this is just the beginning. Soon, the British will be even more uncomfortable!" Qiao Xi also said with a slight smile.
Josie also had no favorable impressions of the super bad-ass country in human history - of course, he had no sense of belonging to the United States or Austria.
But now as one of the snakeheads of Hydra and a member of the American consortium with vested interests, it is obviously natural for Qiaoxi to cause trouble for these two established powers.
This is also one of the main purposes of his return to Europe this time.
As for how to cause trouble for these two countries, naturally we have to rely on the cute bears on the other side of the German wall.
What is the German Wall?
Of course, it is the dividing line between the Allied-occupied area and the Bear-occupied area.
The Berlin Wall in the original time and space no longer exists in this world. Because without the Yalta Conference, the European War would have ended. Therefore, the bear who invaded Berlin alone refused to share Berlin with the Allies in this time and space.
So there is only one German wall in the world that divides the north and the south of Germany into two - although it is called a wall, it is actually just a military demarcation line.
Plus Bavaria stolen by Austria.
The Allied occupation area in Germany was much smaller than in the original time and space. In particular, the occupation areas assigned to each of Britain and France were not as large as Bavaria.
It's no wonder that the two countries are unhappy with Austria.
"It must be extraordinary for a leader to take action!" Hearing Qiao Xi's words, Herberman flattered him at the right time.
In response, Qiao Xi just smiled slightly and said nothing more. At this moment, he caught a glimpse of a figure from the corner of his eye.
"Stop in front!" Josie ordered.
The driver did not hesitate and stopped the car slowly.
Then Qiao Xi opened the door and got out of the car, and walked towards the slightly gloomy figure standing on the street.
When the figure saw Qiao Xi getting out of the car, a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
"Ms. Carter, long time no see!" Josie greeted.
Yes, what Josie saw was Peggy Carter, whom he had not seen for a long time. This was also the first time he saw Carter after Captain America disappeared.
"Long time no see, Mr. Kahn, I didn't expect to see you here. I heard before that you have returned to the United States!" Peggy Carter greeted with a slight smile.
Although he is also a rich man in the United States, Carter obviously has a better impression of Josie, who has almost no scandals, than Howard Stark, who lives a dissolute life - even if she and Howard are very close friends.
"Yes, I stayed back for two months, spent Christmas with my fiancée and two children, and I just arrived in London today!" Josie nodded.
Although Carter's figure can easily make Josie have some reveries, it's just a reverie. This woman is not so easy to control. Josie doesn't want to become a snake head chopped off by the other party just because she can't control her lower body.
Therefore, there is nothing to hide when it comes to family topics. On the contrary, this party can leave a good impression on the other party - as the leader of Hydra, if you want to infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D. in the future, you will have to work with this S.H.I.E.L.D.
Dealing with one of the founders.
"What? You have children?" Carter was also very surprised when he heard Josie's words.
As a military personnel, she has also investigated Josie, so although she doesn't know very much about Josie's family situation, she does know about being young.
The 17-year-old billionaire has a child at such a young age, and his relationship with his fiancée seems to be very harmonious.
Compare that to the inconspicuous Howard Stark.
Just as Josie expected, Carter's consciousness did have a good impression of valuing family.
"By the way, where are you going?" Josie looked at Carter and asked.
"I just came out of my brother's house and was going home, but obviously it's not easy to get a taxi now!" Carter said with a shrug and looking at the street.
"If there's nothing else, how about having a meal together? Don't get me wrong, I just happen to have something I want to talk to you about...well, about Steve!" Josie invited.
