American Comic Dimensional Trading Device

Although Josie could obtain 2% of all vibranium quotas from the United States through normal trade allocations and the CIA's exclusive quota, it would take at least ten years to satisfy Yuri's appetite.

This is assuming that all the shares are supplied to Yuri.

But in reality? Josie would never do that. He and the CIA's operations also require a lot of vibranium, so it would be quite good if they could give half to Yuri.

This means that, based on the normal mining allocation, it would take Josie at least twenty years to gather the amount Yuri needs.

However, according to Yuri's estimate, he could be ready in three years at most, activate the time machine, and return to the era before he traveled back in time.

In other words, Josie needs to gather the share that would normally take twenty years to obtain within three years.

To achieve this, Josie would need to monopolize the entire vibranium mine's output for one year, or the entire output of the United States for four years.

But this is almost impossible.

Because this is no longer a matter of money.

After countries gradually figured out the various characteristics of vibranium, it has quickly become a top strategic resource valued by scientific research communities around the world, and it cannot be bought with money.

To ensure the normal production of vibranium and to address the unfair distribution, the five major itinerant traders directly designated the former Wakanda as a United Nations-controlled territory, stationing hundreds of thousands of troops to guard it closely.

Smuggling? Dream on!

In terms of production, although the various countries that own vibranium mines are trying their best to find ways to increase production, they cannot increase production much in just a few years.

Of course, Josie could also choose to refuse Yuri's order.

He just didn't want to do that.

As one of the earliest trading partners, although his relationship with Yuri wasn't as close as his relationship with Daenerys, where they could talk about almost anything, Yuri had always been responsive to Josie's various needs since they established their trading relationship. He provided Josie with all sorts of invaluable cutting-edge technologies, rather than just some conventional future technologies as a perfunctory gesture.

And basically, whenever he comes up with something good, he shares it with Josie to see if he needs it.

So, as Yuri was about to fulfill his long-cherished wish and return to his original timeline to take revenge, Josie didn't want to disappoint him, so she promised to do her best to gather the vibranium he needed within three years.

But where are we going to get so much vibranium?

As Josie's thoughts wandered, she recalled a detail that Carter had told her after returning to the United States from his mission in Wakanda.

That was what she saw: a group of elegantly dressed people evacuating before the UN forces entered Wakanda.

Although King Azuri of Wakanda and most of his personal guards were killed in action, most of the original Wakanda citizens were forced into mining jobs under the suppression of various countries.

However, it's not exactly a secret that some Wakandas have fled.

Although Wakanda has always been isolated from the world, during the brief one or two years that Wakanda was in the world, King Azuri and Tapani, the chieftain of the border tribes who served as generals, were relatively well-known.

However, after the war, the United Nations only found Azouri, who had died in battle, while Tapani disappeared without a trace.

Another very important point is that, apart from the small batch of vibranium ore that the Winter Soldier and Carter brought back in advance, the UN forces did not find much vibranium ore reserves when they occupied the mine.

According to statistics, all the vibranium products discovered and collected in Wakanda account for less than one-tenth of the vibranium that has theoretically been mined from the mines.

This is clearly illogical.

Furthermore, according to the internal Wakanda information obtained by Josie, Wakanda has existed for over a thousand years since it occupied the vibranium mine and established its kingdom—a fact that is completely different from the comics.

After all, when Odin was young in the comics, he created a prehistoric Avenger more than a million years ago.

In the movie, Odin is only a little over 5,000 years old (Thor says in Thor: Ragnarok that Odin killed Surtur 500,000 years ago, which can basically be considered as just talk), and the Eternals have only been on Earth for a little over 7,000 years.

With over a thousand years of mining, even with the most backward technology at the time, the reserves could not possibly be only what we have discovered so far.

Therefore, intelligence agencies from various countries speculate that Wakanda may have already moved most of the vibranium they had mined to other secret locations.

The most crucial figure in finding the missing vibranium is undoubtedly the missing Tapani.

Therefore, intelligence agencies around the world have been searching for Tapani's whereabouts for the past few years.

But Tapani seemed to have vanished from the world, never to be seen again after the fall of Wakanda.

Perhaps if we find him, Yuri's problem with the vibranium order will be solved.

"Ophelia, what has Carter been up to lately? Is he still angry?" With that thought, Josie picked up the phone, dialed the number, and asked Ophelia on the other end.

Carter has been a little upset lately because of what happened in Java.

Although not as boundless in a sense of justice as Captain America, I can even understand Josie's actions.

However, being able to understand does not mean being able to accept it.

So she could only ignore what was happening in Java and focus her attention on her CIA duties. During this time, she had almost no contact with Josie—which could be interpreted as Captain Carter being a little angry.

“I think so. She’s recently taken on some missions to track down war criminals, and she’s been pretty ruthless. She’s practically turned upside down the Japanese colony in Brazil. I’ve had to clean up her messes a lot!” Ophelia replied somewhat flippantly from the other end.

“Tell her I need to see her, and also have Fritz Crow come to see me!” Josie ordered.

Among his subordinates, those who know Wakanda best are Carter, who has been deep into Wakanda, and Fritz Klaue, who was imprisoned by the Wakanda for several years.

As for Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier? This brainwashed super soldier is only good at killing people.

Update Delay

Well, today's situation is a bit special—you all know what I mean, I'll update tomorrow morning, and maybe add a little extra chapter.

Chapter 201 South Asia Strategy

"What? Carter is missing?" Josie frowned upon hearing Ophelia's reply.

“Yes, Boss, I just received the news myself. Captain Carter cut off contact with the CIA South America branch starting yesterday. However, this has happened before, so the branch's management didn't take it seriously. Therefore, I activated the emergency contact system at headquarters, but I didn't receive any response!” Ophelia replied in a less-than-friendly tone.

In fact, for Josie and Ophelia personally, Carter's individual combat strength is not very important.

However, for the CIA, which was only established a year ago, Captain Carter was a very important asset.

If something were to happen to her, it would have a significant impact on the development of the CIA.

"What was her last mission, and where was it?" Josie asked immediately.

“According to the reports, we tracked several escaped Japanese war criminals into the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. The South American branch has sent people there to search, but you should understand the situation in the Amazon. It’s extremely difficult to find someone there. Even if we use a swarm of Velociraptors, it will probably be very difficult!” Ophelia said with some helplessness.

Why are Japanese war criminals being tracked down in Brazil?

The logic is similar to how German war criminals fled to Argentina, because Brazil had a large number of Japanese, and the social environment there was suitable for them to live and hide. However, compared to the number of Germans, the number of Japanese who would flee was very small, so it was easily overlooked.

However, these people were discovered early on by Josie using her CIA access and were subsequently added to the CIA's kill list.

Of course, this is not part of the CIA's job, but Josie listed the corresponding tasks based on various reasons such as these war criminals possessing a large amount of looted funds, the CIA needing to raise funds, and personnel needing to engage in actual combat, and no one could say anything about it.

No one expected that Carter, a symbolic figure in the CIA, would stumble on such a simple task.

However, what could cause Carter's downfall was definitely not that bunch of idiots from Japan.

"The Amazon, huh?" Josie rubbed her forehead, feeling a bit of a headache. The situation there was much more complicated than in Java because the territory was just too vast.

Just as Ophelia said, even if a swarm of Velociraptors were used, finding a single person in the vast Amazon basin would be extremely difficult.

The existence of dinosaurs is still a secret to the outside world, but it is no longer a secret among ouroboros, let alone to elders like Ophelia.

After Josie put Jurassic Park on the agenda, some high-ranking CIA officials and the Blackwater International Corps in Sulawesi also became aware of the existence of dinosaurs.

Especially in Sulawesi, when attacking Sulawesi Island, Josie used a large number of Velociraptors to search for the rebels hiding in the jungle. This was one of the important reasons why the Blackwater Legion was able to quickly occupy and clear the entire island.

But how big is Sulawesi? 170,000 square kilometers. Even so, Josie still used thousands of modified Velociraptors to clear the area area by area for a long time.

And the Amazon rainforest? That's seven million square kilometers, fifty times larger, and with its dense network of waterways and far more complex geography. How many Velociraptors would be needed to cover that? Ten thousand? One hundred thousand?

Yuri didn't even have that many in total.

And there's an Eternal being hiding in the Amazons.

Hmm? Thinking of this, Josie narrowed her eyes.

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

Josie stroked her chin, thinking.

"Let's put that aside for now, Ophelia. What about those people I asked you to investigate?" Josie suddenly changed the subject and asked Ophelia.

“We only found one person who matches your target, but the name is different from what you said. As for the others, we have no news.” Ophelia’s expression was a little strange when she heard Josie ask this. They were just talking about Carter’s disappearance, and now the topic has shifted to someone else. Isn’t that a bit too big of a leap?

Moreover, there were other strange and unusual people, such as the dark-skinned, fat man named Faustus, the Latin woman named Ajax, the Asian woman named Cersei, and so on.

She didn't quite understand why Josie wanted to find these people.

But Josh is the big boss, so whatever he asks, that's all I can say.

"Oh? Tell me!" At first, Josie wasn't very hopeful, but when she heard that Ophelia had found a suitable target, she immediately perked up.

Only Josie knew that these two seemingly unrelated topics were actually very likely connected in some way.

The people he asked Ophelia to find were none other than the Eternals hidden among ordinary humans.

Although these Eternals parted ways as early as the 16th century, they are not entirely without connection.

Therefore, as long as any one of them can be controlled, the whereabouts of the rest of the Eternals will not be a problem.

One of the Eternals is hiding deep in the Amazon rainforest.

That is Zhuke, who is skilled in mind control (actually, the correct translation should be Druid, but it is easy to confuse with the Druid in Warcraft, so a transliteration is used here).

In Amazonia, aside from certain unknown factors, in Josie's view, the most likely threat to Carter, the super soldier, is this Eternal, Zhuk.
