Carter may have a strong will, but he was far too powerless against Zhuk, a "mind controller" created by the Celestials specifically to target humans.

However, for Josie, Zhuk, the Eternals who seemed to be the most targeted at humans, was actually the easiest to deal with.

Because... he has robots.

However, Zhuke is hidden deep in the Amazon rainforest and is very difficult to find.

Therefore, Josie's only target is other Eternals.

However, the most powerful and dangerous Icarus was not among the targets that Josie had Ophelia search for.

Of all the Eternals, the most difficult to deal with, in Josie's opinion, were Superman Icarus and the speedster Macari who stole his broken steel sword.

The former is too powerful; to fight it head-on would probably require someone of Thor's or Captain Marvel's caliber.

The latter is too fast. Although this speedster is not as abnormal as the Flash and can break the speed of light, he is still very difficult to deal with without prior preparation. Even finding someone is a big problem.

Of course, Josie knew that she was actually hiding in the ruins of ancient Babylon, guarding the Domo, the spaceship from which the Eternals descended to Earth, and that the collection she had amassed over the past few thousand years was stored in those collections.

The problem is that Josie doesn't know the exact location of that ancient Babylonian ruin.

Searching for an underground ruin in the vast Middle Eastern desert is no easy task.

Because they were not isolated from the world, and their strength was relatively weak.

However, if these people want to hide, it is not easy to find them in the vast sea of ​​people.

However, there is one relative exception: if Josie is not mistaken, Ophelia was referring to that one.

“Golden Hook III, an Indian movie star… We were able to find him entirely because he was too high-profile. Actually, I think his grandfather, Golden Hook, and his father, Golden Hook II, also fit the requirements of the person you are looking for, but they have been dead for a long time!” Ophelia said.

"...Didn't you ever think that these three generations of them are actually the same person?" Josie asked with a smile, crossing her legs.

Just as he expected, Ophelia was referring to Golden Hook, the guy who would later become the most high-profile figure in Bollywood, having lived under the guise of a film family for centuries.

Hey hey, it's good to hear from India. Not long ago, because of the Java incident, India was just put on Josie's list. It's a good time to settle this score now!

“Speaking of which, if I remember correctly, because of the Mountbatten Plan, the Indians and Pakistanis are currently engaged in a fierce battle in Kashmir, right?” Josie asked.

“Yes, but at the end of last year, the two countries took their case to the United Nations. Now the United Nations has also established a corresponding committee. However, the two countries are still in a state of war. If you add the slightest spark, it will explode immediately!” As soon as Ophelia heard this, she knew what Josie wanted to do.

"I need you to arrange for someone to create a conflict between an Indian and UN personnel, and make sure the attacker is linked to Golden Hook, making him a UN fugitive. Any questions?" Josie asked after a moment's thought.

“Of course, that’s easy!” Ophelia replied quickly. It was easy to do, and it didn’t matter whether the Indians believed it or not; the important thing was to convince the UN officials.

“Also, I need you to meet with the Bengalis, um, West Bengal, in the name of the council!” Josie said.

The Bengalis are one of the oldest ethnic groups in the South Asian subcontinent.

It established a state as early as the 9th century, but was annexed by the Mughal Empire in the 16th century, and then became a British colony after the British took control of India in the 18th century.

In the Mountbatten Plan of 47, Bengal was directly divided into two parts, East and West, belonging to India and Bangladesh respectively.

However, while Baba Sheep is clearly located to the west of India, East Bengal (East Baba), which belongs to Baba Sheep, is located to the east of India, effectively becoming an exclave.

So in the 70s, East Bengal, which belonged to the Baba sheep, chose independence and became the future Bangladesh.

However, due to West Bengal, even after Bangladesh gained independence, it still has significant territorial disputes with India.

Now that we're going to cause trouble for India, let's just take advantage of the fact that the Mountbatten Plan hasn't been out of date and India's internal situation isn't stable yet, and let West Bengal become independent first.

In terms of population, East and West Bengal combined had a considerable population, exceeding that of the Baba sheep population at the same time.

The only problem is poverty.

Extremely poor.

Not having enough to eat is the same as not having weapons.

But are these things a problem for Josie?

However, this cannot be done under the guise of the CIA or Ouroboros.

Therefore, the blame can only be placed on the council.

However, as one of the council's bigwigs, and Hydra being a professional at doing this kind of thing, there's nothing wrong with that.

As long as India causes chaos, even if Josie makes a big fuss in India because of catching the hook, who will care?

I got up early to write, I'm so tired... I'll post one chapter first, and also recommend a book.

Chapter 202 City Fools

In July 1948, the First Three-Ba War broke out, just like in the original timeline.

In the original timeline, India and India fought three large-scale wars, and countless smaller regional conflicts. Even in the 21st century, the conflict between the two sides has not ended.

The purpose of the conflict has long since transcended the struggle for Kashmir.

However, in all the disputes, India has actually gained the upper hand.

Even in a different world, it's the same now.

In order to achieve its strategic objectives, India even cunningly applied for UN mediation while continuing large-scale military operations in the Kashmir region.

It can be said that although China has escaped centuries of British rule, it has learned a great deal from the British in some shameless ways.

Of course, at the national level, this is not actually a bad thing.

For a country to be too concerned about saving face can actually make it more vulnerable to being taken advantage of.

The reason why Western countries have been able to maintain an absolute advantage in the development of human civilization over the past few centuries is not only due to their powerful ships and cannons, but also because of their shamelessness.

But just as India applied for UN mediation, an unexpected incident occurred.

A UN investigation team was conducting observations near the battlefield when a suicide attack killed four UN officials: two Americans, one Russian, and one British.

This really escalated the situation.

Based on the current situation, the possibility of it being an accident or a mistaken bombing is very low; it is more likely a premeditated attack.

Because at the time, the investigation team not only displayed the United Nations flag, but also the flags of the United Kingdom, the United States, and Russia.

This is because the United Nations flag has only been in use for less than a year, and most people in the world don't even recognize it.

Therefore, in order to achieve a deterrent effect, UN officials, when going out on business, will also fly the flags of the United Kingdom, the United States, and the United States, in addition to the UN flag. As the three world's top powers in this era, these three flags are much more effective than the UN flag.

Definitely one of the top three in the current era.

Even so, the attack still occurred.

India and Pakistan immediately ceased hostilities in fear, while the United Nations was furious.

The three countries immediately prepared to form a "peacekeeping" force to be stationed in the Kashmir region and sent intelligence personnel to investigate.

In the United States, the task naturally fell to the CIA, and the Army Intelligence Department also participated in the investigation—because, unfortunately, one of the two deceased U.S. UN officials was an Army colonel, while the other was just an ordinary politician.

"Well, what a pity. These were two people with such promising futures!" On the plane to New Delhi, an investigator from Army Intelligence put down the mission briefing in his hand, his words filled with regret, but he couldn't hide the schadenfreude on his face.

The reason is simple: the one from Army Intelligence was one of the Council's own people, while the two who died were members of factions that were at odds with the Council in military and political matters.

Although the original intention of this attack was for Josie to use the council to muddy the waters for India and stab them in the back.

However, it would be a win-win situation to help the council eliminate dissidents along the way.

"We're about to land, you'd better keep your expression to yourself," Josie said expressionlessly, putting down the documents about the Sanba War in her hand.

Young man, you're too frivolous. Even if there are no outsiders here, you can't wear your emotions on your sleeve, can you?

However, Josie only gave the young council member a reminder and did not reprimand him too harshly.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the other party's rank is not high, only a major, but his identity is not ordinary.

His name is John Stern, the youngest son of Justice Gary Stern, one of the council's leading figures.

Although the Council had changed from the Thomas era to the current era of Josie and Hugh Jones during the Chadwick Rebellion, this does not mean that the status of the other Council members has been diminished.

Their status ensures that they will still have a certain degree of influence within the council.

Especially Gary Stern, who, after the political changes in the United States in recent years, has risen from a state court to the Supreme Court.

Although the position of Chief Justice is still a long way off—after all, it is a lifetime appointment, a position even more secure than that of the President of the United States, and it is extremely difficult to become one. From the founding of the United States to 1948, there have only been 13 Chief Justices.

However, being able to become one of the nine members of the Supreme Court means that he already has a very important position in the American judicial system.

Moreover, the current Chief Justice Frederick Moore Vinson is not younger than Gary Stern. If he can outlive the other, then given the power of the Council, Gary Stern has a good chance of taking over as Chief Justice.

With this connection, John Stern, as Gary Stern's youngest son, naturally rose in status within Hydra.

Therefore, even though Josie is one of the two most powerful people in the council, she cannot reprimand John Stern as casually as she would an ordinary Hydra member.

However, John Stern was not some spoiled rich kid.

Despite being a villainous organization, Hydra's leadership, largely composed of established financial families, results in a level of strictness in the education and discipline of its offspring that far exceeds that of typical wealthy families.

A true model of elite education.

Incompetent individuals are rare, and if one does appear, they will be excluded from the family's core early on, making it impossible for them to become a member of Hydra. Even direct descendants of high-ranking members of the council need to undergo rigorous assessments to join Hydra.

“Yes, sir!” Upon hearing Josie’s reminder, John Stern immediately composed himself and replied with a serious expression, completely abandoning his previous frivolity.

John didn't dare to act recklessly towards Josie, even though she looked younger than him. As a top-tier figure on par with his father, he dared not do anything out of line.

Moreover, his father had specifically instructed him before he left to observe more and speak and do less while following Josh.

So he was very clear about his role on this trip to India: to gain experience and earn credit.
