Josie disappeared for nearly a year in the name of going on an adventure with his wife, and there were too many people trying to find him.
If he hadn't run so fast, it wouldn't have been long before the American manor would have been blocked by visiting celebrities from all walks of life.
However, the situation is not much better in Austria.
Before his chair was warm, the current president of Austria, Karl Renner, and King Peter II of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, who had almost fully integrated into Austria, came to visit.
And it also brought a rather difficult problem to Josie.
"Old man! You can really make trouble for me!" In the study of Neuschwanstein Castle, Josie looked at Karl Renner, who was still in high spirits and was sitting in the guest seat, and laughed and cursed.
In the original time and space, the Austrian founding father should have died in 50 years.
However, in this world, the medical level has been greatly enhanced due to the explosive technology that Josie provided to Austria, as well as the conventional version of genetic medicine that is only available to the middle and high-level people within Ouroboros.
So Carl Renner is still alive and kicking now.
The reason why Qiao Xi said that to him was because he brought a rather special news.
Those are the two children on the east side who want to go home.
What does it mean? In fact, Austria and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia have been living very well in the past few years, and their strength has become stronger and stronger. Czechoslovakia and Hungary next door are envious.
As a result, some members of the organization began to move closer to Austria, hoping that Austria would help them break away from the control of the bear, and join the Pan-Mediterranean Trade Alliance previously established under the auspices of Austria. Because the matter of forming the United Kingdom was confidential, the two countries did not know this.
It's a thing, so I won't mention it.
As for the olive branches between these two countries, Karl Renner didn't care much about them in the past. After all, Austria's strength had not expanded to that extent, and these people only occupied a small part of the country.
It's not worth risking a conflict with a bear because of these people.
But all this situation has changed with the changes of Mao Xiong in recent years.
In March 1953, Bearded Beard passed away and was succeeded by someone nicknamed Gugurusha. Mao Xiong's political situation began to experience a certain degree of turmoil, and different voices began to appear in many participating countries.
Fortunately, after more than two years of hard work, Gugurusha has relatively successfully controlled the rights of the entire bear.
But it was also at this time that Gugurusha made another amazing move, which was to launch a comprehensive anti-bearded movement within the Mao Xiong.
This has further aroused the eagerness of many joining countries to take action.
Especially with the continued economic recovery in Western Europe, and especially the continued strength of Austria, some of the ideas of these joining countries have become even stronger.
In the original time and space, starting from the end of 1956, many countries would begin to have a series of incidents against the furry bear policy.
But in the end, it was suppressed because the Mao Xiong side directly sent troops to intervene and could not get external support.
But now that Austria's strength has reached a certain level, Kalunnar has also begun to think about it.
Just at this time, Josie, who had been out "exploring" for a year, also came back, and he immediately brought Peter II to the house to discuss the matter.
As long as this thing can be accomplished, the glory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire will really come back.
Even if it were expanded a little bit, it would not be impossible to restore the glory of the Holy Roman Empire.
Of course, whether it is the Austro-Hungarian Empire or the Holy Roman Empire, it will only be the empire of the Kahn family.
Habsburg? Where can I stay cool?
"Mainly, now is indeed the best opportunity. Otherwise, once Gugurusha reacts and stabilizes the situation of the entire bear, it will be difficult to do anything!" Regarding Qiao Xi's scolding, Ka
Renner was not surprised but delighted.
Because Qiao Xi's attitude showed that the other party had no objection.
In fact, Qiao Xi did not object, and even supported it very much.
"But if you want our help, just joining the Mediterranean Trade Alliance is not enough!" Josie said, wagging her fingers.
"Of course, they were all part of the empire back then, and it's natural for them to go home now!" Karenal certainly understood what Josie meant, and this was actually what he wanted.
Czechoslovakia and Hungary were both split from the former Austro-Hungarian Empire. Now they want help from Austria?
Yes, join the newly formed United Kingdom of Austria!
"Of course, we don't need to go too far. We can just hand over major powers such as military and diplomacy. At the local level, we can agree to their autonomy and provide them with economic support!" Qiao Xi added.
"So how to deal with the threat from the furry bears? There are also Western Europe and the United States. I'm afraid they won't be happy to see our growth!" Karenal agreed, but also raised his own concerns.
When it comes to military technology, Kalunnar has absolute confidence in Austria now.
But the number and resources of the army are a very serious problem.
After all, Austria's existing regions have a limited population. Even though most of the basic labor in various industries has been transferred to robots and it has become the first country on earth to fully complete the robotization, pure military strength is still unable to compete with Mao Zedong.
Compared with Xiong and the United States, although Josie has been contributing to Austria's strength, the entire Austria is basically under the control of Ouroboros. Karl Renner and many other high-level Austrian officials are also members of Ouroboros.
But essentially the two are still completely separate.
The Austrian army is the Austrian army, and the Ouroboros armed forces are the Ouroboros armed forces.
The former belongs to the whole of Austria, while the latter is Qiao Xi's personal armed force.
So despite the fact that Ouroboros has even formed a space fleet, Austria's military strength is, at best, about the same level as that of the United States at the end of the 20th century.
Although this kind of strength has already overwhelmed several of the current furry bears and the United States, it has not yet reached the level of completely overpowering these two countries.
In addition, resources are a big problem. It is still in the honeymoon period with the United States, so Austria can import resources from all over the world to supplement its own shortcomings.
But once there is friction with the United States, life may become more difficult.
Germany in World War II, as well as Chicken Pot and Red Skull, are all lessons learned from the past.
"Haha, don't worry. In terms of soldiers, if you carry out a large-scale military expansion, I will let Ouroboros provide you with comprehensive support. As for the deterrence of Mao Xiong and Western Europe, Mao Xiong and the United States are not all doing it.
Hydrogen bombs, and they are gradually becoming smaller and more airborne, so let’s test it out and go straight to long-range strategic guidance! Let’s get one with a yield of 50 million tons!” Qiao Xi immediately expressed his thoughts.
At present, the best way to deliver nuclear weapons in the United States is to use bombers to deliver nuclear weapons. Strategic nuclear weapons, that is, strategic missiles, are still in the experimental stage.
That is to say, there are no strategic missiles that can be used in actual combat.
At this time, if Austria takes the lead in announcing that it has strategic nuclear strike capabilities.
Qiao Xi doesn't believe that the United States and Mao Xiong really dare to go to war.
There is no Captain America now, right? Britain and the United States will not let Carter deal with Austria by then, right?
Oops, that would be so interesting.
And once both sides dare not use nuclear weapons, then Qiao Xi can play with both sides with various conventional weapons.
It's time for such advanced weapons as Red Alert World to come out and show them off. Forget about the Apocalypse Tank. Once equipped with that thing, the affairs of Asan Kingdom before can no longer be hidden, and the impact will be bad.
"That's great, when do we start?" Carl Renner and Peter II were immediately excited when they heard that Josie was preparing to deploy strategic nuclear weapons to Austria.
"Don't worry, you have to eat one bite at a time. Since the Mao Xiong side is unstable now, let's wait until the conflict there becomes more intense. Although we have enough strength, as an emerging power, we still need to talk about
You must understand that our United Kingdom of Austria is different from Mustache, Red Skull and others!" Josie warned.
To put it bluntly, you can make trouble, but you have to do it quietly and with dignity.
"Yes! Chief!" Carl Renner and Peter II, who were excited after hearing this, immediately stood up and raised their hands to salute Josie.
Damn it, I just said that we are different from Mustache, and you two are trying to make this happen to me? Qiao Xi stared at the two of them with dead eyes.
"Hehe, I'm a little excited!" Carl Renner and Peter II also laughed awkwardly and put down their hands.
"As for materials, it is very simple. In the early stage, you should increase imports first. In the past few years, we have accumulated so much foreign exchange reserves and spent them all. Otherwise, after the incident, they will impose an economic blockade on us.
I'm afraid these foreign exchanges will become waste paper. As for the middle and later stages, we will just make a Star Wars plan!" Qiao Xi said, with a strange smile on his face.
In the original time and space, the United States used a series of high-tech arms race plans such as Star Wars to completely bring down the furry bear.
So now Qiao Xi can naturally use this opportunity to compete with the two countries.
Moreover, what America was playing in the original time and space was real, but what Josie was playing was real.
The two sides caught up a little bit, and Qiao Xi asked Austria to advance a little further, just to give them hope, but to prevent them from catching up.
Hey, just for fun
After a night of discussions, the two of them happily left Neuschwanstein Castle and returned to Vienna the next day. They will be very busy for the next period of time, or even the next few years.
Not long after the two left, Vito and Ophelia, two of Josie's most respected generals on earth, came to report on their work.
During the time that Josie left, Ophelia had been in charge of the European and American affairs, while Vito was mainly responsible for taking over the Asian and African regions. After working as Josie's personal bodyguard for so long, it was time to let him go.
Originally, when Josie first returned to Earth, they should have come to report their work as soon as possible, but Josie didn't let him.
After arriving in Austria, they were asked to come over.
And most things don't actually need to be reported by the two of them. Although Qiao Xi is not on the earth, he still knows everything about the earth well with interstellar communication.
Inviting the two of them over was just to get together for a while.
During his absence, both of them did a good job.
Still needs to be commended.
The communication with Vito was relatively simple, because much of Asia and Africa was originally the territory of the Ten Ring Gang. With Xu Wenwu's cooperation, the overall situation was very stable. He only had to follow the steps.
But when Ophelia reported to work, she brought Josie quite unexpected news.
"You mean, Clairvayan is at your place? And you also control a lot of Leviathan branches?" Josie asked again to confirm.
"Yes, because of the comprehensive anti-beardedness promoted by Gurusha, a large number of staunch supporters of beardedism in Mao Xiong have been dealt a heavy blow. The Ministry of Internal Affairs was reorganized and separated to fully take over all intelligence work. The Red House
, Leviathan and other institutions were all disbanded or reorganized before being taken over, and relevant personnel were also scrutinized. Once anyone is found not to lean on them, you know the character of the bear!" Ophelia shrugged.
.
"And it is very unfortunate that Ms. Wayan is a staunch supporter of beardedism, so she was persecuted and took a group of cronies to seek refuge with you? You also took over many Leviathan personnel?" Qiao Xi took over.
He said.
Good guy, you are worthy of being the Hydra Lady. She is becoming bigger and stronger in every way.
"Yes!" Ophelia nodded.
"Do you believe it?" Josie asked.
"The credibility is still very high, but I don't believe it completely, so I will keep them under guard for the time being and wait for you to come back." Ophelia said.
"Haha, that's just right. If they sincerely surrender, then there will be something that will be useful for them!" Josie nodded with a smile, and then mentioned the matter of Hungary and Czechoslovakia.
Although Ouroboros's intelligence agency is also very powerful, due to Mao Xiong's institutional problems, intelligence penetration into Mao Xiong has been relatively limited.
If they had the help of former furry bear intelligence agents like Clairvayan, their next operations in Hungary and Czechoslovakia would be much easier.
"I see, I understand. I will contact President Renner later for details!" Ophelia nodded.
In fact, as she controlled the Ouroboros intelligence system, she had much better information than Karl Renner. Of course she knew what those people in Hungary and Czechoslovakia were thinking.
But without Qiao Xi's nod, she would never take the initiative to get involved in Austrian government affairs.
And this is why Qiao Xi has always been confident in using this woman, she knows what to do and what not to do.
Qiao Xi immediately rewarded this female subordinate who had always done her job conscientiously.
After sending her away, Qiao Xi was busy with his own affairs. A new plane beacon was about to be produced!
