While Josie and General McGinnis were drinking and chatting, Peggy Carter returned to the Strategic Science Corps headquarters in a hurry and broke into Colonel Phillips' office.
I happened to see Howard Stark there, and the two were talking about something.
"Peggy, you're back!" Colonel Phillips greeted when he saw Peggy Carter appear.
"Colonel, I met General McGinnis at Josh Kahn's estate. He mentioned a drug called Bright Lamp. What is it?" Carter asked straight to the point.
Phillips did not answer when he heard this, but looked at Howard Stark aside.
"Some samples were sent over there. I did a little analysis and found that this is a highly effective neurotropic drug similar to a night light. It is more effective than amphetamines and methamphetamines currently used in the military.
Several times, but it does not have as serious side effects as night lights, and its ingredients are not similar to night lights. The only side effect is that it has the same addictive properties as amphetamines and methamphetamines...
...But in the eyes of the generals, this point can be ignored!" Howard shrugged and briefly explained the situation of the Bright Lamp Potion.
The amphetamines and methamphetamines he mentioned would all be ice powder if placed in the future, but in this era, they are standing drugs for the military of various countries. The former belongs to the Allies and the latter belongs to the German army.
Even after World War II, the U.S. military continued to use it until the 1970s before it was banned.
Therefore, the side effects of the Bright Light Potion are nothing to worry about at this time.
It's just that when Howard explained this drug, he didn't have any look of frustration or disappointment on his face that General McGinnis expected. It can replace Einstein's position in other time and space (there is no Einstein in the Marvel Universe) and become the hero of this era.
The magnanimity of the greatest scientist, Howard Stark, was beyond what McGinnis could predict.
So even though he knew that General McGinnis's name for the Bright Lamp Potion was deliberately disgusting, Howard still didn't take it seriously.
"In other words, the suspicion of Josie Kahn can be completely eliminated?" Hearing Howard say this, Peggy Carter breathed a sigh of relief. After all, investigating a person of Josie Kahn's level is not an easy job.
, it involves too much and is too broad.
Phillips and Howard nodded. The appearance of the bright light made the night light meaningless. As for the lethality of the side effects of the night light? Don't be ridiculous, it would be better to use mustard gas.
In this case, there was no need for Josh Kahn to instruct others to steal the night light.
"Where's that female star?" Carter asked again, not forgetting to look at Howard with disdain.
Howard touched his nose slightly embarrassed.
"Let him go after 48 hours of detention!" Colonel Phillips thought for a moment and said, "This woman's nerves are very tough. So far, she has shown no sign of confession. The lie detector test has no effect, and we can't get any evidence.
Any solid evidence proving that she substituted the potion will not be punishable by her identity."
"Then this is the only way to forget it?" Carter was a little reluctant. In her opinion, Whitney's suspicion was very high.
"There is no way. News has come from the troops ahead who are using the Bright Lamp Potion. They have a very high evaluation of this potion, so the higher-ups don't want to hold on to this matter." At this point, Carter looked at the unwillingness.
Colonel Phillips suddenly showed a mysterious smile, "Actually, it's not up to us whether this matter counts or not!" However, "What do you mean?" Carter was a little confused.
Soon, two days passed, and good news from the front line continued to come.
The Normandy landing was a great success, and following the 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, good news also came from the 8th Regiment of the 4th Infantry Division.
Without any hesitation, the Allied High Command in Europe placed a huge order to Josh Kahn's newly established Kahn Industries.
Ten million bright lamp potions cost US$20 each.
This is already a very high price, and it is also a price that Qiaoxi set after careful consideration based on the purity and effectiveness of the potion. After all, this thing is not a product like the Super Soldier Potion that can be used once and last a lifetime, but is a deposit
Pure consumables.
The lasting effect of a potion is about 24 hours, and it must be used continuously to ensure its combat effectiveness.
Therefore, if the price is too expensive, even the US military with deep pockets cannot afford it.
Moreover, these 10 million medicines are only the first batch of orders.
However, not all of this money was provided by the US military itself.
Among them, the US military is responsible for 50%, the UK is responsible for 30%, and the remaining countries such as France and Canada are responsible for 10%.
What? Britain and France had no money to wait?
It's okay, the Lend-Lease Act is here, and the United States doesn't mind borrowing more money.
After receiving the order, Qiao Xi had purchased pharmaceutical factories in London, Birmingham and other British cities and immediately started operating at full capacity.
At the same time, the inventory of hundreds of thousands of medicines produced in advance was also sent to the front line as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Yuri's drug, which was specially developed for his psychic army, was originally designed to be large in quantity and easy to produce, so the raw materials were relatively simple, and the corresponding plants required were not only common in the universe where Qiaoxi was located, but also
It's also available in Westeros.
Although there was no such plant in the Cretaceous of Yuri, the climate there was also suitable for the growth of these plants, and now they have begun to be planted on a large scale.
However, whether it is Long Ma or Yuri, planting large quantities of these raw materials is not entirely prepared for Qiao Xi. They themselves also need this kind of thing that can improve the combat effectiveness of the army.
But it is precisely because of this that Qiao Xi is now able to take this huge order. Otherwise, in the current environment in the UK, raw materials are a troublesome thing.
It was under this environment that Whitney, who had not confessed and could not be convicted, was finally released by the military police.
"Welcome home, Whitney!" Whitney, who had been locked up for 48 hours and had no way to rest at all, walked out of the military police station with a haggard face, and saw Josie waiting outside the door with Vito.
"Mr. Kahn, did you help me get out?" Whitney was surprised to see Josie.
In the Military Police, Whitney was under very strict supervision and had little contact with the outside world, so she did not know what happened during her detention. Moreover, she had already been prepared to be detained by the military for a long time.
Now she was released in just 48 hours, which was completely beyond her expectation.
But when she saw Qiao Xi at the door, she realized that maybe it was her cheap boss who had contributed.
"Of course, Whitney, I believe you are innocent. I can only say that you are not very lucky. That playboy Howard... Tsk!" Josie said and shook her head.
"Yeah, it's all me who misjudged the person!" Whitney walked down the ramp.
"Okay, don't think too much. I've prepared a dusting banquet for you. Eat a good meal and sleep, and everything will be over." Josie patted Whitney's shoulder lightly and pulled her.
She got in the car.
Whitney did not refuse. Although she was not without food in the Military Police, she did not eat well after not sleeping for two days.
"Wait, aren't we going back to the hotel?" But after Vito drove a distance, Whitney felt something was wrong. This was not the way to their residence.
"You were with Howard before, so you don't know very well. I bought a manor in the suburbs, and it's the war right now, and the condolences group has no activities, so everyone moved to my manor." Josie
Said with a smile.
Hearing this, Whitney nodded and said nothing, but she became slightly wary.
However, when the car actually drove into a suburban manor and saw company actors playing and relaxing in the garden in the distance, her vigilance dropped.
When Qiao Xi led her to the restaurant and saw a table of sumptuous food, her vigilance was immediately lowered.
"Eat, I happen to be hungry too, let's eat some together!" He motioned Whitney to sit down, and then Josie sat down on the dining table and started eating.
Whitney, who had already moved her index finger, didn't think much about it and started to eat happily.
As she was eating, she suddenly felt weak all over and her consciousness began to become blurred.
But obviously, there is nothing she can do now.
In the end, before losing consciousness, she only saw Qiao Xi standing up with a cold expression on the opposite side, walked to her and said, "Do you really think this matter will just go away? How naive!"
