American Comic Dimensional Trading Device

The purpose of the cooperation was to discuss how to take over Wakanda and then acquire vibranium.

In the past six months, Britain and France, who launched the war against Wakanda, have suffered another major blow. In addition, wars have broken out in various colonies, and they also have to support Greece and Turkey.

If we don't get some interest back from Wakanda, we really won't be able to hold on any longer.

In response, the UK has launched what can be described as a very dog-like proposal.

That is the infamous proposal for Jewish national restoration!

In the original timeline, although Britain was the first country to exploit Zionism, by the end of World War II, the Americans had become the ones supporting Zionism, and even the Soviet Union sided with the United States.

The two countries' goal was to break the British monopoly on the Middle East, reduce Britain's influence in the region, and prevent Britain from re-emerging through its colonies.

This is why, when the UN General Assembly passed the resolution on the partition of Palestine, the British, who should have supported the Jews, abstained from voting. Furthermore, at the beginning of the First Arab-Israeli War, the British supported the Allied Powers (Al-Ahram) camp, but later, due to financial collapse and needing the United States' help, they cut off aid to the Allied Powers camp.

This ultimately led to the creation of Israel, a troublemaker in the Middle East.

However, in this time and space, the situation is quite different.

Because of Josie's underhanded machinations, the Middle East didn't descend into chaos, but Africa did first.

Especially with the emergence of Wakanda, a large black panther wielding a powerful weapon.

Its vibranium resources have attracted the covetous eyes of all the world's powerful nations.

It defeated the fighting prowess displayed by the British and French armies, causing both Russia and the United States to feel a sense of apprehension.

The British understood this as well, knowing they couldn't handle Wakanda on their own. So, they made a bold move and joined forces with the French, proposing to give up a piece of their respective African colony to the Jews for the establishment of a state.

These two colonies were called Eritrea and Djibouti.

In later generations, 99% of the world's population probably wouldn't even know where those two countries are located.

In reality, these two places are right next to each other, not too far from Palestine, and also in the Middle East. Moreover, they are located at the northern tip of Ethiopia, separated from Sakhalin only by the Red Sea. They control the gateway to the Indian Ocean from the southern Red Sea, making their geographical location very important.

Djibouti is relatively easy to deal with, as the conditions are fairly even, but Eritrea is a different story.

This region is mainly composed of plateau plains, with the Mareb River flowing through it. The climate is very pleasant, and it is the region with the highest rainfall in Northeast Africa. It is also rich in various mineral resources.

It can be said that this is a treasure land, which is why Ethiopia to the south has always valued this place.

However, in the original timeline, Eritrea did not gain independence from the war with Ethiopia until 93. Coupled with various other factors, the country remains one of the world's least developed countries even in the 21st century.

When the British made this proposal, the United States and Russia thought, "Hey, this is a good idea."

This region, bordering the Red Sea and close to the Middle East, facilitated Jewish migration and allowed them to provide various forms of aid and exert influence in the Middle East and North Africa.

And it just so happens to block the outlet to the Red Sea that was once Ethiopia's, now Wakanda's, northwards.

Allowing the Jews to re-establish their state in this region would only cause trouble for the Wakandas, without provoking a backlash from the camels, and might even garner their support—even though these two regions actually belong to the camel camp.

However, the population here is sparse, so it has little impact on the camel camp, and the camel kingdoms don't care at all.

The chaos of war in the African colonies made Russia and the United States realize the weakness of Britain, an old power, so they were not so eager to weaken it. Targeting Wakanda was the most important thing.

A black country that controls resources that could potentially upend the entire world order—few people want to see this happen.

Even Josie had to applaud the British proposal—although he disliked Jews, he also disliked Wakandas, so having the two fight each other was brilliant.

No wonder it was an idea from the world's number one troublemaker.

As for the claim that the Jews couldn't defeat the Wakandas? That's simple: the five major groups of merchants simply formed a United Nations army.

So the companies discussed it and decided on this place.

As the recipients of this support, the Jewish people themselves had no choice in the matter.

In the original timeline, it was able to establish a state in Palestine entirely thanks to the support of the United States. But now, with both the US and Russia speaking up, it's either Eritrea or forget about it.

The Jews could only accept this with a heavy heart.

Fortunately, this piece of land is actually quite good.

As for the issue of war... does that mean there's no war in Palestine?

Jews don't care about this at all.

As for the indigenous people of these two regions, their opinions are no longer cared about.

Moreover, the indigenous people of these two regions already had a history of enmity with Ethiopia...

As a result, the proposal was passed unanimously at the UN General Assembly, a rare occurrence.

As for the opponents... at that time, only Egypt, Liberia, and Ethiopia, which originally had seats in the United Nations, were African nations.

However, Egypt was still under British control, and although it was located in Africa, it was actually part of the camel camp, so why would it care about Wakanda?

Liberia is pro-American... there's no way they could oppose it.

As for Ethiopia, it was expelled from the UN General Assembly after being taken over by Wakanda, and Wakanda did not send anyone to this UN General Assembly meeting.

Thus, Wakanda inexplicably became another entity, following the Axis powers, that was almost a public enemy of the world.

As a newly established and important intelligence agency of the United States, the CIA could not possibly be absent from this grand celebration targeting Wakanda.

However, compared to this matter, there was something else that Josie cared about more at this moment.

Yes, that's right. As time moves into 1947, Josie will be entering a new trading dimension.

The matchmaking was incredibly fast this time, but when he saw the figure appear on the other side of the trading platform, he almost lost his composure.

Good grief, last time the system gave him a baby as a trading partner, and this time it's not even a human being.

That's right, what appeared on the other side of the system this time wasn't a human, but a... mummy?

Chapter 161 The First Trader to Die

"A transaction that transcends time and space? Interesting. So, mortal, what can you offer me?" The mummy on the screen spoke after sensing the information about the interdimensional trading device coming from its mind.

"...Imhotep?" Josie, seeing the familiar, terrifying figure on the opposite screen—a figure covered in holes with only a pair of eyes—frowned and asked tentatively.

"Hmm? After sleeping for thousands of years, my fame has already spread to another world?" The mummy opposite him was quite surprised to hear Josie call out his name directly.

That's right, this mummy is none other than Imhotep, the most widely known mummy high priest from the movies and TV shows of the world Josie lived in her previous life.

"I don't know about your reputation, but Lord Imhotep, if I'm not mistaken, you've only just been revived, right?" Josie asked, rubbing her forehead. Being sealed away is one thing, but being in a deep sleep is another. Are you afraid others will find out you're actually a good-for-nothing?

“You know quite a lot…” Josie’s words piqued Imhotep’s interest once again. This mortal from another world seemed to know him quite well?

"What bad luck to run into such an unlucky guy like you!" Josie sighed.

"...Mortal, are you provoking me?" Imhotep was clearly furious when he heard Josie call him an unlucky guy. If it weren't for the fact that they lived in different worlds, he would have made Josie taste the pain of being eaten by insects right now.

“Though my words may be harsh, I’m sorry, Lord Imhotep, although you have been resurrected, you probably don’t have much time left.” Josie shrugged. “To be honest, I really didn’t want this to happen, after all, having such a high-quality trading partner is not an easy thing.”

"...Stop speaking in riddles, mortal! Tell me what you know!" Imhotep, who had just been resurrected not long ago, had just devoured the eyes and tongue of the first American who opened the altar and had not yet figured out the situation in his own world. Now, he was being spun around by Josie's nonsensical words, and his whole mind was buzzing—although at this moment, he didn't actually have a "brain".

If Imhotep didn't know DC, he would have definitely said something like "Riddler, get out of Gotham!"

"It's very simple. Among the group that awakened you, there's a guy named O'Connor. He's the reincarnation of the Pharaoh's Guard and your natural nemesis. I advise you to kill him as soon as possible, no matter what method you use. Otherwise, if he doesn't die, you'll have to go back to the Underworld sooner or later! Also, stop calling yourself a mortal, or you'll have to go back to see Anubis sooner or later too!" Josie said leisurely when she saw that Imhotep was getting anxious, but her attitude was very impolite.

However, this was something Josie did intentionally.

Imhotep was unlike any of the trading partners he had ever encountered before.

He is not an ordinary superhuman, but a genuine charlatan.

Most of what Josie possessed was of little use to the other party.

Moreover, as can be seen from the movie, Imhotep's personality is also extremely unruly.

The only things he really cared about were his own life and his beloved Ansu-na.

As for ruling the world, that's just a hobby of his.

Therefore, it's not very useful to talk nicely to such a person. It's better to use this kind of superstitious and prophetic approach to attract their attention—charlatans believe in prophecies more than anything.

If the other party believes him and eliminates O'Connor, the chosen protagonist, then everything will be fine, and Josie will have the opportunity to slowly communicate with the other party to reach a deal.

Even if it fails, and Imhotep doesn't believe his warning, then things will be even simpler... The other party will definitely still be in O'Connor's hands, and the dimensional beacon might have to change hands.

Wait a minute, normally, a dimensional beacon changes hands when its host dies.

But is Imhotep dead or alive in his current state?

If his soul falls into the underworld, will he be dead or alive then?

Thinking of this, Josie's gaze toward Imhotep became increasingly strange.

“Alright, Your Excellency from another world, I was a bit presumptuous. I shouldn’t have spoken to you in that tone. But what else do you know?” Imhotep felt uncomfortable under Josie’s gaze, and he believed Josie’s words to some extent.

In his view, there was obviously a reason why Josie, a person from another world, could call him by his name and use a series of words such as Pharaoh, Praetorian Guard, and Underworld.

Add to that the incredible existence of the dimensional trading device.

Could this be a divine revelation sent to him?

"Saying too much now won't do you any good! Just do as I say. If you do, then everything will be fine. If you don't... hehe! Alright, that's enough!" So Josie hung up the transaction communication without waiting for Imhotep's reaction.

Anyway, the plot of the first part of The Mummy, from Imhotep's resurrection to his re-killing, only lasts a few days. Whether Imhotep, as a trading partner, can be kept will soon be revealed.

Josie has that much patience.

However, Josie was really unsure whether Imhotep could turn the tables on O'Connor.
