Chapter 88 Aldo returns, the magic cube energy is in hand
London's reply was quick, and Churchill, who was already very anxious to end the war, made a decision almost immediately.
A telegram soon came from Austria, agreeing to the battle plan and just waiting for the Allies to confirm the time.
In contrast, the news from Washington is relatively slow. It is said that some people do not want the war to end too soon... Well, this is actually quite normal.
Fortunately, Roosevelt, who had been president for three terms, had very strong control over the government and directly suppressed all objections. Finally, a week later, in early August, he agreed to the battle plan.
During the period of waiting, the Allies had successfully captured Paris.
In the original time and space, Paris was on August 25. The Free French Army under de Gaulle and the French resistance groups worked together to make an emergency landing on the German troops stationed there. The British and American Legions did not participate.
But now, due to the change in the Allied offensive direction, Paris chose to surrender half a month early after the main peripheral force was defeated.
So when the order from the White House arrived, Josie had already invited Aldo, who had been lurking in Paris after being released by Ophelia's people, to have a drink with him, along with Winters and his good friends.
, Captain Nix, the staff officer of the 2nd Battalion of Company E of the 506th Regiment.
Because the airborne operation against Baden-Württemberg was about to be launched, all the airborne troops originally being repaired in the rear were replenished with troops and transferred to Paris, just waiting for the next order.
Of course, Aldo, Winston and Knicks drank wine, but Josie drank juice.
"Good brother, without further ado, I'm going to do it!" Aldo raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Tch, I think you just tricked me into drinking wine in the name of gratitude!" Qiao Xi rolled his eyes and said, it has only been a short time since he sat down, and this guy has already finished almost a whole bottle of his collection of whiskey.
Nix, who is also a good drinker, only had one drink, and Winston didn't even finish one drink. This is a very self-disciplined boss like Josie. He didn't drink before the Normandy landing, and he also served as an agent.
As I grew older, I started drinking to get closer to the soldiers.
"Hey, we are good brothers, a bottle of wine is nothing!" Aldo would not admit that he had not had a chance to drink a few drops of good wine in France for so long, and he was greedy.
Facing the bickering between the two, Winters and Nicks just smiled gently.
"Okay, no kidding. Now that the mission has been completed and everyone is safe, what are your next plans?" Josie glanced at Winters and then asked Aldo.
"Of course, return to the army, or do you have other suggestions?" Aldo asked a little strangely.
"Indeed, Winters from E Company has been promoted. There is now a shortage of company commander there. Are you interested?" Josie pointed at Winters and said.
During the Normandy landings, Winters not only officially became the company commander, but was also promoted to captain because of his outstanding command of the battle.
When he returned to the UK for recuperation, because of Qiao Xi's deliberate close support, he gained the favor of the 506th Regiment Headquarters and even the Division Headquarters.
Although he was not promoted to military rank again because of this, after he was stationed in Paris, he found an excuse to be promoted to battalion executive officer (equivalent to deputy battalion commander), more than a month earlier than in the original time and space.
But precisely because of this, there is currently no new company commander for E Company, and Winters continues to serve as the commander.
And now that Aldo is back, there is no problem for Josie to use his connections and assign him to Company E as the company commander.
Don't look at the fact that he had killed several high-ranking German officers in Paris and completed the almost impossible task, but he only cleared his name and would not be promoted as a result. His original position as company commander of the unit was also
He has been replaced a long time ago. Even if Colonel Ross takes care of him when he returns, he will probably only be able to serve as a deputy for the time being. It is better to start over with a different stove.
Winters also supports this. Because of Josie's relationship, Winters and Aldo are also very familiar with each other.
It would be better to hand over E Company to someone you don't understand, than to someone like Aldo who does.
Moreover, the upcoming Operation Return to the Eagle's Nest is the time for the airborne troops to shine. Winters can become a major when he retires, why can't Aldo?
Of course, the price is danger, so it depends on whether Aldo is willing or not.
"Of course it's no problem. I've died once, so why do I still care about this danger?" After Josie explained the situation, Aldo agreed without any hesitation. When it came to dying once, he still
He deliberately winked at Josie from a position where Winters and Nicks couldn't see him.
He was still very tight-lipped. Apart from the fact that he was unlucky and Ophelia saw him when he was undoing his transformation, and was tricked into using his mind control ability to trap Josie, he did not disclose any information...
…As for the other people present when he transformed, he had killed them all at that time.
As for Ophelia, it was also confirmed when her mind was read by Yuri before. Because of Ophelia's personal ambition, she did not reveal the matter of the beast-transforming potion to Josie and the others who were present at the conversation that day.
anyone outside.
In other words, except for Qiao Xi's cronies and Ophelia, the existence of the animal transformation potion is still a secret.
In the short term, Josie doesn't have to worry about this secret being leaked.
In fact, even if the secret of the potion is leaked, the impact will not be big. The worst thing is that Qiao Xi continues to cooperate with the military to sell the potion, as long as the dinosaur genes in it are replaced by ordinary animals.
As for why Aldo can turn into a dinosaur...it's enough that the one Josie killed was the Komodo dragon's genes. Anyway, the appearance is similar.
Moreover, this is a short-acting medicine. After mass production, Qiao Xi will have another stable way to make money.
It is a bit difficult for Josie to enjoy the benefits here exclusively.
This wine was held after a lapse of several months, and several people drank it to the fullest.
After collecting two bottles of wine from Josie, Wintersnicks, who still had things to do, returned to the station first.
Only Josie and Aldo are left.
"By the way, I got something good this time, but I don't know if you need it!" Aldo said.
"Oh? What good stuff?" Qiao Xi asked in surprise.
"Come with me and you will know!" Aldo said, pulling Josie and getting into the Cadillac V16 Josie was riding in, and then wanted to drive Vito from the driver's seat to the passenger seat... Arriving in Paris
Afterwards, looking at the luxury cars everywhere in this city that had hardly experienced the baptism of war, Josie finally remembered this car, which was the first collectible he had acquired after coming to this world, so he took it out to show off.
"Xie Te, you are so drunk, come to the back and don't try to hit my car!" Josie particularly remembered the experience of an unlucky guy who lost his life while driving drunk. He was hit by a car.
It's all trivial things. If it brings disaster to your own life, that's called bad luck.
Under Josie's efforts to stop him, Aldo, who had been drinking, had no choice but to sit in the back seat with Josie and give directions.
The group of people went all the way to a farm in the suburbs, and then, under the guidance of Aldo, they entered the basement of the farm, and after prying open a wooden wall, the contents inside were revealed - a whole small room.
Hydra energy weapons.
"Hey, although that woman caught me, during that time I also figured out their situation, and then I found this. The German army surrendered so suddenly that those people had no chance to move when the Allied forces entered the city.
These things." Seeing Josie's surprised expression, Aldo rubbed his nose with his thumb and said with a proud smile.
What else could Qiao Xi say? He could only raise his thumb.
In fact, the Allies do not have these things, but they are all in the hands of the Strategic Legion. They take these things very seriously. The level of confidentiality is far higher than that of night light potions and the like. Except for Howard and a few researchers, everyone else
Out of reach.
Not even General McGinnis can reach out.
So Josie has no choice... To be honest, he still wonders why Captain America and Tony Stark can so easily sneak into the heavily guarded military research institute in New Jersey at some point in the future.
.
As for Hydra, except for Ophelia, who was controlled by him, those high-level officials valued the Allied high-level officials more than him as a businessman. It was not easy for Qiao Xi to get these things.
And in Ophelia's memory, this special warehouse does not exist at all... After all, her status there is not that high. She was just passing through Paris at the beginning, and was not the person in charge of the Paris Hydra.
Now that it's better, Aldo can get the thing that he has always wanted but couldn't get so easily. Josie also thinks it's really dreamy.
