"Josie, long time no see. It's rare that you come back to the United States and you don't inform me?" Howard Stark looked at Josie in front of him with a smile and greeted him.
As Josie said, he will not stay in the United States for long this time. After attending the meeting of the board of directors, he met with Ross, Osborne, and other subordinates and partners of the Chicago consortium.
After the meeting, I was ready to go back to Europe.
As a result, the day before returning to Europe, we received an uninvited guest, none other than the then director of SHIELD, Howard Stark.
"Haha, I didn't expect you to be quite well-informed. It's not that I didn't inform you. It's just that you are a busy person now and I don't want to disturb you for a trivial matter!" Qiao Xi said casually.
Although the two parties have cooperated many times in the past, due to the secret camp issues between the two parties, the relationship is actually just good "ordinary friends".
"Oh, what I'm saying is, if it were you, it would be no small matter if you appeared anywhere!" Howard said with a smile.
"What? This means that our Chief Stark is here to investigate me?" Josie said happily after hearing this.
"Hahaha, don't you dare, don't dare, I'm afraid if we really have to investigate, tomorrow I should retire like Director Hoover!" Howard laughed.
"Ha, you have been the director for several years, are you good at hurting people?" Josie was also happy to hear Howard making fun of Hoover. This meant that Howard had no credit for Hoover's resignation.
Although it was Josie who took the lead in Hoover's ouster, there were many people involved, including the newly established S.H.I.E.L.D.
There was no way. Although Hoover was strong enough when he was in office, it was an undeniable fact that he offended too many people.
Therefore, when the matter has become a foregone conclusion, it is normal for everyone to push against the wall.
"Just kidding, just kidding!" Howard waved his hand and then sighed, "Actually, I came here to be a middleman!"
"Middleman? Wow! Who has so much energy that they can hire you to be the middleman?" Qiao Xi couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"It's Kennedy..." Howard said.
"...Howard, I treat you as a friend, and I don't want you to cause trouble for me!" Upon hearing this last name, although Josie said that Howard was causing trouble for her, the look on her face did not change at all.
, said still smiling.
But it's not surprising. Compared with the current Josie, although the Kennedy family has considerable influence in the military and political circles of the United States, it is completely different. If Josie is angry for such a small role,
It will only go down.
"I really don't mean that... To be honest, apart from Joseph, there aren't really any big differences between you, right? And Joseph has been dead for more than ten years!" Howard said helplessly.
To be honest, he really didn't want to be the lobbyist.
Although the conflict between Josie and the boss of the Kennedy family in the UK was covered up by the outside world.
But for top U.S. officials, the conflicts between the two sides are not a big secret.
This contradiction once extended to the military, political circles, and business circles, with each side's respective spheres of influence. It was also during that period that Howard Stark, who was seemingly Josie's biggest "rival", also gained the support of the Kennedy family.
I have a lot of support, so the relationship between the two parties is actually quite close.
In the early days, both sides could maintain a certain balance of power.
But as Josie's power continues to expand, the Kennedy family's little influence has become a joke.
Even if Josie didn't deliberately suppress the other party, the Kennedy family was a little overwhelmed.
That's why I had to ask Howard to be the lobbyist to resolve the "misunderstanding" with Josie.
As Howard said, in the eyes of the Kennedy family, there is indeed no unresolved conflict between the two parties. Joseph, who really had a direct conflict with Josie, died in an accident during World War II. Later, the conflicts between the two parties
It's more just a conflict of interests.
There is absolutely no need for the Kennedy family to continue to bear the pressure from the forces to which Josie belongs because of this little conflict.
Especially since Eisenhower is now in his second term, which will end in two years, and John F. Kennedy is already preparing to run for the next president.
For him now, whether he can become president or not, Josie's attitude is crucial.
Whether Kennedy can become president is also very important to Howard.
"Hahahaha, look at your expression, this is just a small thing, I still have to give you this face, and to be honest, if you hadn't come to me today to mention this matter, I wouldn't have even remembered that there was such a thing.
What's going on!" Seeing Howard's constipated expression, Josie couldn't help but laugh loudly.
That's right, if Howard hadn't mentioned it, Josie would have really forgotten about Melody. After all, unless this person really ascended to the position of president as in the original history, the two sides would not be the same person at all.
hierarchical.
Just reconciliation? Haha!
"That's great, let's do this, you set a time, I'll ask John out, and you guys can talk, I'm sure you will have a lot of topics in common!" After hearing Josie's words, Howard mistakenly thought this was the case.
There was something going on, so he immediately said excitedly.
"Haha, there's no need to make an appointment. I'm going back to Europe tomorrow. This isn't a big deal in the first place. Besides, we are both members of the National Party, so we must support each other!" Qiao Xi declined politely.
After hearing Josie's words, Howard thought, yes, Josie is a Democratic Party like John F. Kennedy - because the president who had the closest relationship with Josie at that time, Truman, was a Democrat.
Moreover, some previous events also showed that Josie and the Republican Party headed by Eisenhower, who is currently in power, are not very harmonious with regard to some governing policies.
"Going back to Europe tomorrow? So urgent?" Howard couldn't help but feel a little regretful when he heard that Josie was leaving tomorrow.
"Haha, there is no way. You also know the situation in Europe. You can't really let my daughter face it alone, can you?" Josie said with a hint of truth.
"Okay! I'll pass it on to John!" Hearing Josie say this, Howard could only nod.
The two sides chatted for a while, then Howard said goodbye and left.
Just as soon as Howard left, a slight smile appeared on Josie's face.
Are they all Democrats? Don’t be ridiculous. At their level, do Democrats and Republicans have any meaning?
Then Josie picked up the phone and called Linus Lebil first!
John Lebil has chosen to retire a few years ago, and now Linus, the "eldest brother-in-law", is the one who calls the shots for the Chicago consortium.
"Josie? Is there anything important so late?" Linus was surprised to see that it was Josie who called.
As half of Margot's natal family, the relationship between the Kahn family and the Lebil family is still very close. However, they just had dinner together a few days ago, and Linus was a little surprised to have a sudden phone call so late today.
"It's not an important thing, but am I planning to go back to Austria tomorrow? Suddenly I remembered something, and I'm going to ask you to do it!" Josie said with a chuckle.
"Hey, if there's anything else we can say about please or not, it's up to you!" Linus couldn't help but say after hearing this.
"Vice President Richard Milhouse Nixon, you know?" Josh asked.
"Of course I know, what? Did he offend you?" Linus asked, how could he not know about such an important figure as the Vice President.
"No, I just want you to find a time to represent me, invite him out, and tell him that I am ready to fully support him in running for the next president!" Qiao Xi explained.
"Support him? Josie, he is not one of ours!" Linus said in surprise when he heard Josie said that he wanted to support Nixon.
"Whether Linus is ours or not, it doesn't matter. What matters is whether he can become ours, isn't it?" Josie said leisurely.
"You are right to say that, okay, I will do it!" Hearing what Josie said, Linus thought about it. Now with their influence, what will happen to people who are not theirs? Turn him into
Just be your own person.
After ending the call with Linus, Josie called several members of the council and informed him of his decision - the phones he used were all secret lines monitored by Pangu, and there was no possibility of them being monitored or recorded.
possible.
Melody wants to be president? Just dream!
Originally, Qiao Xi just forgot about this family, but now he actually jumped out to cause trouble for him, so don't blame him.
Of course, the most direct way is to kill Melody Emperor. This is also very easy for Qiao Xi. Any mage can be sent to make Melody Emperor die in a rhythmic manner, and it is guaranteed not to leave any traces behind.
any trace.
But it’s no fun to play like this.
Shrimp must be paired with pig heart, right?
You must give the other party a little hope, and then at the critical moment, let him fall to the bottom!
However, Melody is not in a hurry to kill him, but his younger brother and old man can still take action first.
Isn’t it rumored in later generations that the Kennedy family is burdened with a curse? Then let’s make this curse come true.
There are just two years left before the election. Kennedy Jr. and Kennedy Sr. die one by one every year, and then when the election is critical in the last year, it happens to be Melody's turn!
How perfect?
Let’s start with old Kennedy... How can we arrange a constructive way for him to die?
A few days later, the news that Kennedy Sr. had driven drunk, crashed into a river and drowned made headlines in Massachusetts.
After a police investigation, it was finally determined that this was just an accident!
The Kennedy family didn't find anything wrong and could only accept this fact.
And this also dealt a heavy blow to John F. Kennedy, who was preparing for the election.
After all, all the current political influence of the Kennedy family basically comes from the elder Kennedy. His death instantly put John Kennedy into a great passivity.
But it was also at this time that Howard Stark brought him good news, because Josie "promised" to let Continental fully assist him in his campaign.
This news made John F. Kennedy shake off the gloom of his father's death and cheer him up instantly. He even made a special overseas phone call to Josie, who had returned to Europe, to express his gratitude.
And he promised that after the election is successful, he will give Continental various benefits and so on!
"Look, you are being sold and you have to help count the money. You have to be more careful when you encounter this kind of situation in the future!" In Neuschwanstein Castle, Qiao Xi hung up the phone and said to those who were having afternoon tea with him
The eldest son Mike said with a smile.
"You should talk to Ben about this. This kid has been completely fascinated by that Sif. His mind is full of wanting to become the strongest, and he has almost become a fighting madman!" Facing your father's preaching, Mike
He rolled his eyes and said.
Hearing Mike's words, Josie jumped up in shame. When the Asgardian delegation came, his youngest son was fascinated by Sif. This was something he did not expect. He could only say that the child was really
It's too simple and too easy to get fooled.
Fortunately, this did not happen to my eldest son and daughter.
This makes Josie feel a little relieved!
Especially the eldest daughter Carol, after becoming queen, relying on the manpower and power that Josie left her, she has already seized the real power of the United Kingdom of Austria in just one year, and has transformed from an empty queen to a real queen.
ruler in the sense of the word.
In this regard, although Carl Renner, the former President of Austria and now the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Austria, was slightly disappointed, he was more pleased.
Although still young, Carol did show the good qualities of an excellent ruler!
However……

, thus possessing infinite wisdom and power... Of course, as a divine heir, this thing will not bring you much help, but as a decoration, it is still good!" Schonbrunn Palace, Carol's personal
In the reception room, Loki respectfully handed an emerald green crystal plaque to Carol.
"Thank you, Loki! I like this gift very much, but I have said it many times. You don't need to call me Her Majesty the Queen. It's too awkward. Just call me Carol. We are friends, aren't we?"
Carol happily took the life card and said.
"Okay, Carol, but I think I have to say goodbye. After all, I can't leave Asgard for too long!" Loki hesitated slightly, nodded, and then said.
"Bah, don't think I don't know. It's not that you can't leave Asgard for too long. You're afraid of my father, aren't you?" After hearing Loki's words, Carol said very dissatisfied.
Regarding Carol's words, Loki could only twist his lips helplessly. Could he not be afraid? If Josie found out that he had contacted Carol in private, he would probably be punished directly.
At this moment, he couldn't help but regret that he shouldn't have left his magic communication device to Carol in the first place.
His original intention was just to please the queen so that she could speak kindly to him in front of Josie if necessary in the future.
As a result, for some unknown reason, the queen kept chatting with him every three days and wanted to see him at every turn.
Loki didn't dare not come, because if the queen couldn't think about it and complained to Josie, he would be finished.
