American Comic Dimensional Trading Device

Two days later, in a deserted valley a few kilometers away from Neuschwanstein Castle, a spaceship more than forty meters long was quietly moored.

Not far away, there were more than a dozen large trucks, all loaded with specialties from around the world.

A dozen CIA (Ouroboros) agents, under the command of Carter and Mar-Vell, were continuously loading these cargoes onto the spaceship.

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye, and today is the day Marwell will be leaving.

"Time's almost up, why aren't they here yet!" Carter said, glancing at his watch as the agents finished loading the cargo.

"They're here!" Marwell pressed the button on his wristwatch, and a small 3D map appeared, showing a dot of light rapidly approaching their location.

Sure enough, less than two minutes later, Peggy Carter heard a roar coming from afar.

A few minutes later, the helicopter landed not far from the spaceship.

Then Josie and a young man dressed in gorgeous classical attire jumped off the helicopter one after the other.

A strange look flashed across Josie's face as she looked at Carter and Marwell standing in the distance.

According to the intelligence reports, over the past three days, aside from the first day when the two women spent the entire day sightseeing in Vienna, they spent almost the entire remaining two days and three nights in their hotel room…

Josh said she couldn't quite put her imagination into it...

Faced with Josie's slightly strange gaze, Carter instinctively avoided his eyes. Although the deed was done, she was still a little uncomfortable.

In contrast, Marwell's attitude seemed much more open-minded.

Come to think of it, the Kree Empire has been developing for who knows how many years, and its information network must be extremely advanced. What hasn't Marville seen?

Between the two, she is most likely the primary attacker.

Josie couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"Is he the friend you asked for a ride?" Marville asked, looking at Dracula.

“That’s right, Dracula Vlad!” Before Josie could introduce him, Dracula naturally stretched out his hand. Finally, he could leave Earth! That’s great!

I will absolutely not come back unless it takes several thousand years, or until that old nun, Gu Yi, dies!

Chapter 187 The United Kingdom of Austria?

With the roar of its engines, Mar-Vell's spaceship departed.

"Speaking of which, could that Dracula Vlad really be the Impaler from history?" Peggy Carter couldn't help but ask Josie beside her as the spaceship completely disappeared from view.

If it were the old Peggy Carter, he probably wouldn't have thought much of it when Dracula announced his name.

But now that she's seen super soldiers, a special country like Wakanda, aliens... and even had sex with aliens, it's hard for her not to have a rich imagination.

“That’s right, it’s the one you’re thinking of!” Josie nodded, admitting it immediately.

Since the person is gone anyway, it doesn't matter whether they try to hide it or not.

"So... he really is a vampire?" Peggy Carter's eyes widened when Josie admitted it. "But aren't vampires afraid of the sun?"

“…If it were an ordinary vampire, of course he would be afraid, but he’s not an ordinary vampire. All the things you know about dealing with vampires are meaningless to him!” Josie said with a smile.

"Then...he won't do anything to Marwell, will he?" Carter couldn't help but feel worried.

"Haha, don't worry, this vampire progenitor isn't as cruel as the legends say. He promised me he wouldn't harm my friends, including Marwell. And with his strength, if he really wanted to do something, none of us in the entire castle could do anything about it! If we could get our hands on a nuclear bomb, maybe we'd have a tiny chance of taking him down with us!" Josie patted her shoulder to comfort her.

Inside the mirror space, the Ancient One, who had been monitoring Dracula and was preparing to open a portal back to Kamar-Taj after confirming that Dracula had indeed left Earth, couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth when she heard Josie's words.

Dracula wasn't cruel? Who gave you that impression?

Gu Yi couldn't help but recall the scene she had witnessed hundreds of years ago, where tens of thousands of Ottoman soldiers were strung together in chains.

Shaking her head to stop thinking about it, Gu Yi returned to Kamar-Taj and leisurely made herself a cup of tea... These leisurely days are so comfortable...

Before she could even sit down and take another sip of hot tea, she sensed a fluctuation coming from outside the dimensional defense line formed by the three holy sites.

"Sigh, more overtime. Can't these guys just shut up for a second?" Gu Yi sighed, and then disappeared.

Meanwhile, Josie and Carter also returned to Neuschwanstein Castle by helicopter. However, as the helicopter passed Hohenschwangau Castle, Carter caught a glimpse of a blindfolded idiot playing hide-and-seek with five scantily clad women in the garden.

"When did this guy arrive?" Carter looked closely and, after confirming it was Howard, asked Josie with a look of disgust.

Because she and Marwell had been in Vienna for the previous three days and went directly to the spaceship landing point before departure, they did not know that Howard had already arrived in Schwangau.

“They arrived the day before yesterday afternoon!” Although Josh’s eyesight wasn’t as sharp as Carter’s, he knew who Carter was talking about.

At the same time, a pang of jealousy welled up inside me...

Because he knew that the girls Howard was hanging out with were actually the vampire brides Dracula had mentioned.

When these five beauties arrived yesterday, Dracula even took them to Neuschwanstein Castle to show them off.

But faced with such vulgar temptation, Josie immediately and righteously refused—that old monster Dracula is dishonest, knowing full well that his wife and children were doing this in the castle!

Especially since it happened right at the time when he was about to have a semi-wedding ceremony.

However, it was precisely because of Josie's "integrity" that he enjoyed the most tender service from his lover that night.

Margot, who came from a wealthy family, was well aware of the sordid aspects of American high society. Even if Josie did something outside, she would pretend not to know.

However, over the years, Josie has always maintained an extremely clean reputation and has an excellent image in American high society, which has deeply moved Margot.

Therefore, there have never been any problems in their relationship.

………………

After Mar-Vell and Dracula left Earth, Josie's life returned to normal.

As Josie's wedding date approached, more and more guests arrived in Schwangau, making this once sparsely populated Central European town more lively than ever before.

Fortunately, Josie was very well prepared, and with the cooperation of the Austrian authorities, Howard, the troublemaker, was so overwhelmed by the vampire brides that he could barely walk. So, before the wedding date arrived, apart from a few petty thieves who became fertilizer almost unnoticed, the whole town was very peaceful.

As for the outside world, apart from the escalating bipolar confrontation and the colonial wars of independence in countries like Britain and France, nothing else has happened that requires Josie's special attention.

However, Josie's peaceful life was disrupted by the arrival of Karl Lenner and a group of high-ranking officials from Austria and Ouroboros.

"What? Reorganize the country into a United Kingdom? Make me king? What are you guys thinking?" Josie was speechless as she looked at Karl Lenner in front of her and Peter II beside him, who had a fanatical expression on his face.

Just now, Karl Lenner told him that they were preparing to formally unify all the territories currently occupied by Austria into a larger kingdom, which would include the current territory of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

For Karl Lenner, who always harbored a "Habsburg Empire dream," such enthusiasm is understandable. His so-called Habsburg Empire dream did not mean that the Habsburg family would actually become emperors, but rather that he wanted to establish a vast empire with Austria at its core, encompassing the entire Holy Roman Empire's zenith.

However, this dream was shattered with the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Karl Lenner never had high hopes for the later figures like the mustache and the Red Skull.

However, thanks to Josie's efforts, Austria rose again and even occupied Bavaria and large swathes of Yugoslavia, which gave him renewed hope of realizing his dream.

Of course, in this era, it is no longer acceptable to call it an empire. After all, even the Great Britain next door stopped calling itself an empire after India gained independence. If Austria were to call itself an empire, wouldn't that be turning back the clock of history?

At least in this period, it certainly cannot be called an empire.

But instead of calling it an empire, we can do what Britain does and call it a United Kingdom!

As long as the kingdom is established, Karl Lenner doesn't care who will rule it; in his view, the most suitable person is Josie, the man who single-handedly built the Austria we know today.

As for the Habsburg family? They can go somewhere cool and stay there.

Regardless of whether it was Spain or Austria, the main line of the Habsburgs had already died out in the 18th century, and the actual rulers of Europe afterward were a branch known as the Habsburg-Lorraine family.

Even if the main line of government is still intact, it still needs the approval of Karl Lenner and other high-ranking Austrian officials, as well as the Austrian people.

But in reality, the Habsburg family had completely lost the support of the people after World War I.

“This is the best way, Josie. Although we have effectively occupied most of Bavaria and Yugoslavia with the help of the United States, this occupation is not a long-term solution and is not recognized by many European countries. But if we establish a united kingdom and maintain a certain degree of autonomy in these places, then the situation will be completely different!” Karl Lenner stroked his mustache and said with a smile.

Upon hearing Carl Lenner's words, Josie nodded in agreement.

Although both Bavaria and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia have deep historical ties with the former Austro-Hungarian Empire, that is now a thing of the past.

Austria's current ability to occupy these regions is largely due to military force and the support of the emerging world superpower, the United States.

If we really delve into it, it's not entirely legitimate and could easily give outsiders something to criticize.

This could easily lead to some trouble in the future.

Although countries like Britain and France may not say it now, they are largely doing so under pressure from the two superpowers and do not actually acknowledge it at all.

The reason the United States supports Austria so much is simply because it needs Austria as a bridgehead against Russia.

When the Russian bear dies... hehe.

Therefore, imitating Britain and establishing a united kingdom in the name of the voluntary participation of various regions is indeed a very good idea.

Even if something goes wrong in the future, there will be more room for maneuver.

Josie supported this, but while she supported it, she herself did not want to be the king.

And Josie can understand why Carl Lenner is so proactive in this matter.

But Josie didn't quite understand why Peter II, the King of Yugoslavia, was so enthusiastic.

The united kingdom we're discussing is basically annexing your country! You'll lose your throne and power! At most, you'll be left with the title of duke.

Why are you being so enthusiastic? What's gotten into you?

Despite the fact that the Kingdom of Yugoslavia may have appeared to be merely a puppet regime jointly supported by Austria and the United States, it was not a legitimate state.

But Peter II was definitely not a puppet king.

On the contrary, apart from a small area in the southwest near the estuary that was jointly controlled by Austria and the US military, Peter II, as a high-ranking member of the Ouroboros organization, had effectively controlled most of the actual power in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia with the support of Josi. This included military power. Although the military strength of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was not enough to compete with the US, Austrian and Soviet armies, it was enough to suppress the Yugoslav Federation. In fact, it could be considered a powerful country in the entire Balkans.

Previously, the Yugoslav Federation was called the Little Bear, but now the Kingdom of Yugoslavia is called Little Austria, a complete reversal.
