American Comic Dimensional Trading Device

The reason he has survived to this day is because he controls several Tyrannosaurus Rex and an entire Velociraptor clan.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about food, drink, or safety.

However, being alone for a long time inevitably brings loneliness.

As a ruthless and powerful figure, Yuri did not stoop to the level of India, where he would even harm a lizard.

But now that we have the interdimensional trading device, it would be a shame not to enjoy it.

Upon hearing Yuri's request, Josie instantly understood: People, huh? No problem!

He didn't buy people through the trading system because he lacked control over it and feared the secrets of the trading machine would be exposed. But selling people to Yuri was a different matter altogether.

Of course, as a person with a conscience, Josie has always abhorred the human trafficking.

But if it's Japanese-style chicken sold in Japan, that's a different story.

Japanese chickens are chickens, not people, that makes sense.

As for where to get Japanese chicken, it's very simple.

Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt, citing wartime needs, ordered the forced relocation of a large number of Japanese from the West Coast to ten "relocation camps" inland, totaling as many as 120,000.

In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of Japanese who originally lived in the American interior and on the East Coast, and they are ostracized by society, including many in Chicago.

I'll give Dix some instructions later; it should be easy to get a batch.

And if you think about it carefully, these Japanese chickens suffer all kinds of exclusion and discrimination in the United States. When Josie sends them to the resource-rich Cretaceous period, and they have a super big shot like Yuri to take care of them, they are actually saving them. Compared to that, what is freedom? Don't they worship the strong?

The more Josie thought about it, the more she felt there was nothing wrong with it.

"Japanese chicken, it's not a bad idea, but I still prefer white chicken!" Yuri was clearly not happy when Josie said that she could only send Japanese chicken, but as long as it wasn't black, it wouldn't be a big problem.

Of course, Yuri wouldn't mind if Josie sent him some black stuff; he could just send it to the mines.

“White isn’t out of the question, but we’ll have to wait until the war ends next year. I’ll go to Europe and get it for you.” Josie stroked her chin and promised. In the early days after World War II, almost all of Europe was suffering from famine. The victorious countries were better off because they had American support, but the defeated countries were actually in pretty bad shape. At that time, they could get some people under the guise of confession, and no one would pay attention. Besides, it would also be a way to save lives… Going to the Cretaceous to reclaim wasteland is better than starving to death, right?

Yes, that's a good deed, no problem.

Josie felt she was being incredibly kind.

"Oh, right, Mr. Yuri, for the initial deal, besides iridium, could you also prepare some dinosaur eggs for me?" Josie suddenly thought.

Chapter 54 Request

"Francesca, are you asleep?" Josie called downstairs as she walked out of her room.

"Not yet, sir. Is there anything you need?" A series of hurried footsteps were heard, and a young woman in her early twenties peeked out from the bottom of the stairs. This was Josie's new maid, an Italian woman.

Since Josie and Margot were in Florida for the entire winter, they brought several experienced maids with them, leaving only two maids at the Chicago villa to take turns looking after the house.

Francesca is one of them.

"Is there anything else to eat at home? If possible, please prepare some for me, with plenty of vegetables, enough for two people. Also, please bring up two bottles of red wine!" Josie asked.

Although Josie hadn't been home much for a long time, she would always inform the maids who stayed behind whenever she returned. In addition, the maids also needed to eat, so there were always some staple foods prepared at home.

A large-scale transaction with Yuri is definitely out of the question, but temporarily satisfying Yuri's appetite is still possible. As for the supplies needed for the actual transaction, he has already called Lyndon Schneider and asked him to procure them.

I reckon it should be ready by noon tomorrow.

“Mr. Kahn, would you like some veal steak as the main course? And for vegetables, I’d like some mushrooms, lettuce, carrots, and cabbage,” Francesca asked cautiously.

"Just prepare whatever you think is best, and get some fruit too," Josie said casually. It wasn't for him to eat anyway. As for Yuri... before being bound to the dimensional beacon, this guy had already spent more than a year in the Cretaceous period.

Although as a superhuman proficient in mind control, he doesn't have to worry about survival and even eats dinosaur meat every day.

But without proper cooking utensils and lacking seasonings, it's easy to imagine what kind of life he led.

So let alone veal steak and vegetable salad, even a few slices of dry bread would probably be a delicacy for Yuri right now.

“Yes, sir!” Francesca nodded and immediately went to prepare.

Josie, on the other hand, went back to chat with Yuri.

Although Josie herself had no interest in a lonely, bald old man, the old man, who had been alone for more than a year, was in the midst of a lively conversation when he saw a human again, and he kept talking to Josie.

For the sake of the advanced technology in the Red Alert world, Josie had no choice but to play along.

Listen to this old man recount how he gradually grew from a superpowered experimental subject into the most important scientist and military commander of the Russian bear, then into an ambitious dictator, and even almost established the incomparably powerful Yuri Empire on the moon.

After listening to the other person ramble on for more than half an hour, Francesca finished cooking, brought the food, and knocked on the door.

Temporarily shut down the trading system and open the door to let Francesca in.

However, after bringing in the food, Francesca did not leave immediately, but looked at Josie with some hesitation.

"Is there something you need, Francesca?" Upon seeing this, Josie immediately realized that the other woman probably had something she wanted to tell her.

“Well, Mr. Kahn, my brother got arrested last winter for some offense. Because he speaks Italian, he was drafted into the army. He was captured last November, and Captain America rescued him. However, he was shot while escaping, and he has only recently recovered and received a month’s leave. He will be returning to Chicago next week,” Francesca said hesitantly.

"So?" Josie asked, a hint of curiosity creeping into her heart. Rescued by Captain America last November? Wasn't that the time Captain America became famous for rescuing Bucky? Back then, the Red Skull base rescued not only Bucky's 107th Infantry Regiment, but also many other units, including British, French, and even Soviet soldiers—thousands of them in total.

This is precisely why Captain America became a hero revered by several major Allied nations, not just the United States.

“It’s my mother. She knows you’re a big shot, so she wants me to ask you if there’s any way to stop my brother from being sent to the battlefield. My father died in an accident last year, and my brother is the only male in our family. My mother is afraid that if he goes back to the battlefield, he’ll never come back. Mr. Kahn, please help me. I’ll do anything for you!” Francesca pleaded.

...Anything is allowed? Josie, whose mental age was actually that of a man in his thirties, immediately had the wrong idea.

After carefully examining Francesca in front of me, I noticed her maid outfit... well, the traditional maid outfit is actually quite loose and conservative, with a long skirt that reaches the ground. It's so unfashionable that you can't see anything at all. However, her face is quite delicate. She can't be called a stunning beauty, but she's definitely an 80 out of 100.

However, Margot's exquisite face immediately came to mind... and she couldn't help but shake her head.

"What's his name? Which unit is he from?" Josie asked. It wasn't a big deal for him; a phone call would solve it. Besides, his servants were family, so helping out was no big deal.

“Vito, Vito Scareno! He’s serving in the 504th Parachute Regiment of the 82nd Airborne Division!” When Francesca first saw Josie shake her head, she thought she had been rejected. But when she heard Josie’s question, she immediately answered excitedly.

"Alright, I understand! I'll handle this!" Josie waved her hand, indicating that Francesca could leave.

Seeing this, Francesca immediately and tactfully left the study.

Yuri reopened the trading device and waited. He traded the food and wine in exchange for two dinosaur eggs.

These are two Pachycephalosaurus eggs, but Yuri traded them not for Josie to hatch or do anything else, but for Josie to have a taste of them.

According to him, the eggs of the Pachycephalosaurus were the best-tasting eggs he had eaten in the past year or so.

"Excellent, fine red wine, but it's a pity I still prefer vodka!" Yuri took out the food and wine from the trading device and couldn't wait to take a swig.

"There'll be vodka in tomorrow's supplies. That stuff is really cheap. This bottle of red wine is enough to buy dozens of bottles." Although Josie doesn't like drinking, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at Yuri's drinking habits. The few bottles of red wine she had at home were all from Margot's collection, and they were very expensive.

But Yuri clearly didn't take it seriously and ate heartily.

However, he only ate a few bites of the veal steak before devouring the vegetable and fruit salad.

There was no way around it; meat wasn't scarce in the Cretaceous period, but vegetables were truly scarce. Occasionally, they could only manage to get some tender ferns to serve as vegetables, which was a miserable situation.

While Yuri was eating, Josie gave a brief introduction to the situation in her world.

However, when Josie mentioned Red Skull, Captain America, and the Tesseract, it clearly piqued Yuri's great interest.

Chapter 55 Fried Dragon Eggs

"If possible, could you get some of that energy sample you mentioned, the Cosmic Cube, and some super soldier blood?" Yuri asked Josie after he had eaten and drunk his fill. "Technologies from different worlds might spark something different."

But after Yuri made this request, Josie immediately frowned.

Because neither the blood of super soldiers nor the samples of cosmic-imitated energy weapons are things that are virtually impossible for Josie to obtain... not to mention the Tesseract.

After learning that this world was the Marvel Universe, he, as a transmigrator, naturally had his eye on the Super Soldier Serum and the Tesseract.

But all I can do is be moved.

Captain America isn't one of those mafia members. Forget machine guns, even if Josie equipped Blackwater with tanks, armored vehicles, and fighter jets, they probably wouldn't be able to get a scratch.

The end result of this was that Josie was imprisoned as a spy who coveted top U.S. military secrets.

Not to mention Hydra weapons based on the energy of the Cosmic Cube; you simply can't get them without going to Europe and destroying several Hydra armies.

Everyone knows how brutal the European battlefield is, and the existence of the Hydra Corps made the danger of the European war increase exponentially. Unless you're a super soldier like Captain America, an ordinary person would just be cannon fodder in that situation.

Therefore, Josie never considered setting foot in Europe before the war ended.

But Yuri actually set his sights on those two things? Isn't that a joke?

“I understand. There’s no need to rush this. Once we start the formal transaction, I’ll prioritize getting you a batch of equipment. With that equipment, you and your men can operate more safely on the European battlefield. Of course, if you really don’t want to, we won’t force you.” As a psychology expert, Yuri understood Josie’s concerns as soon as he saw her expression and immediately took back his words.

“Even with good equipment, the chances of obtaining energy weapon samples would be slightly higher, but obtaining blood samples from super soldiers would still be very difficult,” Josie said after thinking for a moment.

Currently, the only super soldiers in the world are Captain America and Red Skull. Obtaining blood samples from either of them is extremely difficult. Moreover, in early 45, Red Skull will be transported to Vormir, and Captain America will fall into the Arctic Ocean.

Josie has at most a year.

As for retrieving Captain America after he crashes into the Arctic Ocean... don't be ridiculous. The Arctic Ocean is so vast that finding a crashed plane is no easy task. In the movie, Captain America was discovered because he was brought to the surface by glacial movement.

In comparison, the Cosmic Cube, with its high energy reading, might actually be easier to find.

This is why, at the end of the movie, Howard Stark could find the Rubik's Cube but not Captain America.

Bucky was injected with a replica of Dr. Zola's super-soldier serum when he was captured, but even Bucky's blood would only be available if Josie went to Europe.

After all, Captain America and his friends never returned to the United States after setting foot in Europe.

"It's alright, just let nature take its course. What's meant to be will be, and what's not meant to be shouldn't be forced. That's life, isn't it?" Yuri didn't care too much and directly quoted an old proverb.
