American Comic Dimensional Trading Device

His mother became a nurse in the then-feared tuberculosis ward in order to earn more money, which ultimately cost her her life.

Captain America suffered from malnutrition from a young age due to this kind of living environment, which led to a host of ailments such as asthma, scarlet fever, and rheumatic fever.

With these financial conditions, buying a house? Absolutely impossible.

Even a small apartment in Brooklyn, which was then a slum, wouldn't have been possible.

In fact, if Steve hadn't met Bucky as a good friend during his childhood, Steve might have died long ago. Compared to Steve, Bucky's family was much better off; although not extremely wealthy, they were a middle-class family.

This can be seen from the starkly different outfits worn by the two characters during Captain America 2's meeting.

It was thanks to Bucky and his family's care that Captain America was able to live to such an old age.

It is precisely because of this almost brotherly relationship that Captain America cares so much about Bucky.

In comparison, Captain America and Howard's father and son can only be considered to have a fairly ordinary friendship.

It's no wonder that during the Civil War, Captain America was willing to hurt Tony to protect Bucky.

Humans are selfish, and even Captain America is no exception when it comes to things he truly cares about.

“Thank you, Josie. This is the first time I’ve known that he had such a difficult childhood!” After listening to Josie’s story about Captain America, Peggy Carter examined the keys in her hand and exclaimed, “I’ll find a way to pay you back for the house.”

Yes, although Carter is Captain America's lover and believes she understands Captain America's personality very well.

But this was the first time Carter had ever heard about Captain America's birth and childhood from Josie.

Therefore, it seems that Captain America, from childhood to adulthood, has not really had a good life except for the period when he first became "Captain America".

"It's pointless to bring up money with me, or are you saying you don't actually consider me a friend at all?" Josie said, feigning displeasure.

"Haha, that's true. A tycoon like you probably doesn't lack a house like this. Then I won't stand on ceremony. I'm going to America next week anyway, so I won't have to find another place to stay." Carter didn't refuse anymore when he saw this.

"Oh? You're going to New York next week?" Josie was a little surprised to hear that.

Josie knew that Carter would go to the United States, after all, how could S.H.I.E.L.D. be established if he didn't go to the United States? But the fact that he was going now was still somewhat unexpected.

“Yes, it’s not exactly a secret. With the end of the war, the Strategic Scientific Corps began withdrawing to the United States, and naturally I had to go too. This trip back to England is also to say goodbye to my family, my sister-in-law, and my nephew,” Carter explained. But as soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that Josie was looking at him with a strange expression and couldn’t help but ask, “Is there something on my face?”

“Oh, it’s nothing, I just remembered something else.” Josie chuckled and then said, “I’ve heard of your brother, he’s a hero.”

In fact, when Carter mentioned her sister-in-law just now, Josie suddenly remembered a joke from her past life about Peggy Carter and Sharon Carter that she saw online.

That is, in the Avengers series of movies broadcast in China, Sharon Carter was translated as Peggy Carter's niece.

However, Sharon Carter during the Avengers era was clearly only in her twenties or thirties, while Peggy Carter was already over ninety years old.

Furthermore, Peggy Carter only had one older brother, who died during World War II, leaving behind only a posthumous child.

Therefore, Peggy Carter should only have one nephew, and no nieces.

If that's the case, then how did Sharon Carter come to be this niece?

Josie had wondered about this for a long time in her past life, only to later realize that it was actually a translation error.

In English, "aunt" can refer to any female elder, and the English word for "great-aunt" is also "anut".

The case is now solved: Sharon Carter is not Peggy's niece, but her grandniece.

Chapter 114 Daenerys's Conquest

After dinner, Josie sent someone to drive Carter home, while she herself returned to her estate in the suburbs.

Although the meal brought the two closer, given Peggy Carter's personality, it was pure fantasy for Josie to think that anything could happen between them.

There was a rumor that Howard tried to kiss her during the celebrations of Germany's unconditional surrender and victory in the European war, but Carter punched him into the Thames River, nearly drowning him.

Although she didn't know if the rumor was true or false, Josie didn't want to get involved.

Otherwise, getting beaten up is a minor matter; losing face is a major one.

"Sir, a telegram from the United States: President Roosevelt has been re-elected!" As soon as Josie returned to the manor, the manor's butler delivered a telegram to him.

Due to the progress of the war, coupled with the Council's previous attempt to interfere with the election, the election results were delayed compared to the original timeline. However, it is clear that the Council's intentions have failed.

However, this means that this tough-minded president will likely suffer a stroke, just like in the past.

“Vito, send me a telegram and ask Mr. Tommy to visit Mr. Leibler. If possible, also make some contact with Vice President Truman during this time!” Josie instructed Vito beside her after thinking for a moment, holding the telegram.

Before the election results were announced, Josh did not contact Truman, because Truman was not one of the candidates, but only Roosevelt's running mate.

In the United States, after a presidential candidate wins and takes office, his running mate becomes the first vice president and president of the Senate. Only if the president is implicated can the vice president succeed him.

If the council's plan to interfere with the election succeeds and causes Roosevelt to lose, then Josh's efforts to sabotage Truman's election will be in vain.

So the council, led by Josh, burned the statue of Thomas Dewey, Roosevelt's election opponent and governor of New York.

It would only be meaningful for Roosevelt to reach out to Vice President Truman after he had been re-elected.

Josie is currently in Europe and cannot directly contact Truman, but John Leibler, as the representative of the Chicago consortium, can handle this matter. Given John Leibler's shrewdness, even if he doesn't understand Josie's purpose, he will not be negligent.

As for the council... well, those old foxes, how could they not have made preparations beforehand when they were already planning to take action against Roosevelt? There's no need for Josie to worry about it.

“Yes, boss!” Vito nodded and went to send the telegram.

Josie returned to her study alone and opened the trading device.

Soon, Daenerys's figure appeared on the screen in front of her. She sat on the Iron Throne, which symbolized the supreme power of Westeros, but her face was slightly gloomy.

"Is the battle not going well?" Seeing the other person's expression, Josie couldn't help but ask tentatively.

At the beginning of last year, when Josie activated the system, it was the year 301 of the Westeros calendar in the Game of Thrones world, just before Daenerys was about to return to Westeros.

However, because she obtained the trading system, Daenerys postponed her landing and instead traded with Josie while reorganizing Slaver's Bay and accumulating strength.

They didn't officially land on Dragonstone Island until the beginning of this year.

At that time, all the lords of Westeros, except for Cersei, had formed a coalition under Jon Snow's leadership, preparing to resist the Night King at the Wall.

The allied forces were extremely nervous after receiving news of Daenerys Targaryen's arrival.

Jon Snow, who had become the de facto leader of the Allied Forces, was indeed very bold and decisive. On the advice of his advisors, he visited Dragonstone with a White Walker's corpse, trying to persuade Daenerys Targaryen to join the Allied Forces and lead troops north to fight against the White Walkers.

Daenerys Targaryen naturally disagreed with this at first.

I can send troops, but you must submit to me first.

Jon Snow, who had become the Lord of the North and the leader of the allied forces, would naturally not agree to this.

This led to a stalemate between the two sides for some time.

However, Daenerys' two advisors, Tyrion and Varys, once again used their persuasive skills to convince her that, to some extent, the White Walkers were indeed a threat to all of humanity.

Moreover, if this allied forces are fighting the White Walkers in the front while Daenerys is conquering the continent in the back, it is indeed easy for her to lose the support of the people.

Although Josie had reminded Daenerys that with her current military strength, she didn't really need to care about these things.

However, Daenerys still decided to go to the North.

She also made a pact with the allied kings that if Daenerys could contribute the most in the fight against the White Walkers, then the kings could make her queen.

However, on Josie's advice, Daenerys secretly kept a backup plan when heading north. She only used the rifles that were being used to equip the Unsullied Legion, while hiding the batch of Italian cannons that Josie had just traded over.

At the same time, following Josie's advice, the three-headed dragon was armored, specifically a lightweight yet extremely protective titanium alloy breastplate forged using technology provided by Yuri.

Even the dragon wings were fitted with specially processed dinosaur skin armor plates, after confirming that they would not affect their flight.

—The only vulnerable parts of Daenerys' three-headed dragons are their soft bellies and wings.

With this double protection, the three-headed dragon could still be killed by the Night King's ice spear or Westeros's giant crossbow. Josie didn't know what to say.

It was precisely because of this double protection that the three-headed dragon displayed its might in the fight against the army of White Walkers.

Even the Night King was helpless against the three-headed dragon. When he realized things were going wrong, he chose to run away. He was quite smart. After all, he was an undead creature. He had already survived for thousands of years, so it wouldn't hurt for him to survive for a few thousand more years.

In any case, dragons can't outlive the White Walkers, let alone Daenerys, a human.

Faced with Daenerys' victory, the menacing three-headed dragons, and the powerful Unsullied army, the allied kings, even if reluctant, had no choice but to accept Daenerys as their new queen.

Now that she has defeated the White Walker army and gained the recognition of the kings, Daenerys' next task is simple.

That would mean marching directly to King's Landing to seek revenge on Cersei, their archenemy.

Meanwhile, Cersei in King's Landing, just like in the original timeline, hired the Golden Company and, during a raid on Daenerys's fleet, captured Daenerys's handmaiden Missandei—this time Daenerys was not present.

After negotiations, Cersei refused to surrender and beheaded Missandei!

What happened next was simple: Daenerys once again chose to massacre the city and officially occupied King's Landing, sitting on the Iron Throne.

This time, Jon Snow wasn't as close to Daenerys as he was, and he was still cleaning up the remnants of the war in the North, so the incident of him stabbing Daenerys to death wouldn't happen.

But Daenerys's massacre of the city still shocked the entire Westeros.

All the kings who had just acknowledged Daenerys Targaryen immediately pushed Jon Snow forward, raised the banner of rebellion, and formed an anti-Targlian coalition.

Josie was asking about the situation of the war.

Theoretically speaking, given Daenerys's strength, she shouldn't be unable to defeat the Anti-Targlian Alliance.

“No, I won, and won cleanly and decisively!” Daenerys shook her head and said, “And my army has already begun to advance into various territories. It is only a matter of time before the unification of Westeros is achieved.”

“In that case, you should be happy, shouldn’t you?” Josie said.

That makes sense. With three armored dragons, hundreds of cannons, tens of thousands of guns, and enough bullets and shells, how could they possibly fail to take down a mere Westeros?

Although it's called a continent, it's actually only about the size of Western Europe.
