American Comic Dimensional Trading Device

Chapter 115 The Situation in Europe

"It's nothing really, just another betrayal!" Daenerys said with a self-deprecating smile.

"...Tyrion or Varys?" Josie asked, raising an eyebrow.

Because of the existence of the dimensional trading system, Daenerys and Jon Snow are not close, so the fact that the other party has revolted will not have much of a stimulating effect on Daenerys.

Therefore, the most likely explanation is that it was Tyrion and Varys, two of her key retainers who had joined her while she was still in Slaver's Bay.

"Heh, both of them. You're right, a king is always lonely. But it's all over now. They both kept their promise and died under the dragonfire." A hint of pleasure flashed across Daenerys's face, but it quickly turned into melancholy.

Although she was a queen, she was still a woman after all, and her mind was more delicate and tender.

"I don't like hearing that. Aren't I your friend? I'll always be on your side!" Josie said, feigning displeasure.

"Haha... I misspoke, I apologize, thank you for your comfort, but to be honest, I would probably be happier if you were here with me right now!" Daenerys smiled and looked at Josie with a spring-like gaze.

Good grief, is this woman trying to seduce me? Seeing this, Josie couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Unfortunately, while the trading system allows for near-seamless transactions between two worlds, it lacks the function of enabling direct contact between the two hosts.

Daenerys knew this, so she was actually teasing Josie—of course, if the system really had this function, she wouldn't mind having a brief affair with Josie.

After all, Westeros has a very open attitude in this regard. Although Daenerys is still young, she is definitely a veteran, and her experience is probably more than that of Josie, who has lived two lives.

"Actually, the truth is that after you fulfilled your long-held wish, you feel like you've lost your purpose in life!" Ignoring Daenerys's teasing, Josie straightened her expression and said.

After a person achieves their life's goal at an extremely rapid pace, they quickly shed their initial excitement and fall into a similar state of not knowing what to do next.

Daenerys is in a similar situation now.

Whether it was repelling the White Walkers, slaughtering King's Landing, or defeating the rebels led by Jon Snow, everything came too easily for Daenerys.

A devastating attack from another world would be utterly fatal to Westeros, a society still in a semi-slave, semi-feudal lord-dominated society.

"Then let's set ourselves a small goal first: to start an industrial revolution, usher in the Age of Exploration, and unify the whole world. After unifying the world, we can also find a way to conquer the stars and the sea!" Josie encouraged Daenerys with a smile.

In the two years since they met, in addition to regular transactions, they have also had some cultural exchanges—well, actually, 99% of the time it was Josie who was giving Daenerys a one-sided cultural exchange.

This includes some basic geographical and astronomical knowledge.

Therefore, Daenerys is now aware of the concepts of planets and the universe.

"...This goal is too ambitious. Even with your help, it would probably be impossible to achieve in a lifetime... Moreover, I can't even have children. Would the empire I've built just go to someone else?" Daenerys was slightly tempted at first, but she quickly realized something and shook her head with a self-deprecating smile.

Back when she was still Khaleesi of Khal Drogo, she suffered a miscarriage due to a witch's blood magic curse, which likely rendered her infertile. In the years since, she has been with other men, but has never become pregnant.

“I think you probably don’t need to worry about that anymore!” Just as Daenerys was feeling troubled by this issue, Josie revealed a mysterious smile.

"What? Do you have a way to break the blood curse?" Daenerys asked with a hint of curiosity and anticipation.

"No, that's not it, but as for lifespan, I think we can still count on it!" Then Josie explained about Jia Ying's existence and how she (Yuri) had already begun researching Jia Ying's blood and genes.

Although Daenerys' world is a relatively backward, low-magic world, and its importance will continue to decline as the peaceful era of George's own universe arrives, it's still a good option to be a raw material supplier for Josie as Daenerys' territory continues to expand.

Therefore, as long as the longevity potion can be produced stably, supplying some to Daenerys is not a problem.

"Is it true?" Upon hearing that it was possible to achieve immortality, Daenerys's eyes lit up instantly.

For a ruler who holds supreme power, there is probably nothing more tempting than immortality.

"Although there are no results yet, the probability of success is very high," Josie gave an affirmative answer.

“That’s wonderful! It’s the best news I’ve heard in a while!” Upon receiving Josie’s reply, Daenerys’s eyes began to ignite with something called ambition.

Daenerys's feelings for King's Landing and her ambitions for Westeros stemmed more from a deep-seated obsession with the Targaryen family instilled in her by her dead brother since childhood.

That's why she felt somewhat empty after so easily obtaining all of this.

But now, a new goal has truly formed in her heart.

Conquer the entire world and become the most powerful conqueror and the most powerful empress in the world!

What is a mere betrayal? As long as I live, I will make the whole world grovel at my feet!

Looking at the triumphant Daenerys across from him, Josie couldn't help but feel a tiny bit envious; he also wanted to be such a supreme ruler.

However, compared to the backward world of Westeros, it is far too difficult to be a conqueror in the Marvel Universe where Josie lives.

Even a super-powerful figure like Thanos could be defeated, let alone someone who is merely a hydra head?

“However, if we really want to conquer the world, we will need your support!” Daenerys said. “The amount of weapons we had was still a bit too little.”

"That's what I wanted to say too. The war on my side is basically coming to an end. There will be countless munitions available to supply you, including tanks, armored vehicles, various heavy artillery pieces, and aircraft. However, all of these things need steel and fuel to operate. I'll prepare a batch of steelmaking equipment and oil exploration, extraction, and refining equipment for you. You can start preparing in advance. Also, to equip these devices, you'll need to organize some people for training and learning," Josie said.

The U.S. military is currently at its peak, with a massive force of over 11 million personnel worldwide, equipped with countless weapons and equipment, one-third of which are located in Europe.

However, in less than two years, the US military will begin a major downsizing.

At that time, the equipment of millions of European troops will be sold directly at scrap metal prices, or even discarded—because the cost of transporting it back to its homeland for preservation and maintenance is higher than building new equipment.

Even if Josie only ate a small portion and sold it to Daenerys, the art style of Westeros... well, it would definitely be beautiful.

As for the engineering personnel needed for industrial equipment, that's easy to solve. Daenerys can organize a group of people, trade them to Josie, and then Josie can trade them to Yuri. Yuri's men can then brainwash and train them.

“Then I’ll be waiting. As for the personnel, I’ll get them ready as soon as possible.” Daenerys gave Josie a charming smile.

Then I saw Josh frown.

"What's wrong?" Daenerys asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to make a small suggestion." Josie hesitated for a moment.

“Tell me about it!” Daenerys said.

"If you can avoid laughing, you should laugh less," Josie said, holding back her anger.

"roll!"

"okay!"

After finishing his conversation with Daenerys, Josie rested without disturbing Yuri.

Both are trading partners, both are powerful rulers in their own right. But Yuri and Daenerys are different.

Because of her status, the only person Daenerys could talk to on equal terms was Josie. In addition, as a person from a more advanced world, Daenerys also enjoyed communicating with Josie and listening to her various insights.

Both of them are basically on the same intellectual level.

Yuri was not only a ruler, but also a scientist who was devoted to research.

If Josie is just talking to Yuri about everyday topics, she can barely keep up with Yuri's pace, but when it comes to technical matters, she is completely lost.

Moreover, Yuri himself is not the talkative type.

At the very beginning, Yuri talked a little more because he hadn't had anyone to talk to for a long time, but after Josie sent him various industrial equipment, Yuri began to devote himself to his research again.

From then on, if Josie had something important to discuss with Yuri, Yuri would usually not say anything and would prepare everything perfectly for Josie.

However, if Josie simply chats with the other person casually, the other person will seem rather perfunctory.

So Josie understood Yuri's personality; she wouldn't bother him unless it was something important.

After spending a few days in London to restock his supplies, Josie set off again.

First, he went to Paris to discuss business in Europe with Linden, then visited Jia Ying who was studying, before heading to Hamburg.

In the original timeline, the division of Germany's occupation was as follows: apart from East Germany occupied by the Soviet Union, the most fertile northwestern part of Germany was occupied by the United Kingdom, the central and southern parts by the United States, and a small part of the southwestern region by France.

The reason for this division is that many of the United States’ actions in Europe, including its confrontation with Russia, require the support of the British.

That's why the Americans had no choice but to hand over the most valuable industrial areas of northwestern Germany to the British for occupation—in fact, they were dissatisfied with that approach from the beginning.

But in this world, the situation is completely different.

Bavaria, which should have been the most elite part of the American-occupied zone, was incorporated into Austria ahead of schedule.

Without such an important territory, the division of occupation and territory could not be the same as before, which was one of the reasons why Britain and France were dissatisfied with Austria.

There was nothing that Britain and France could do about their dissatisfaction.

Because Josie knew very well who the real powerhouses would be in the coming decades, and that Britain and France had no chance of rising again.

Therefore, through his manipulation of Hydra, Josie easily influenced Austria's allegiance, making it the first staunch ally of the United States in Europe.

Especially aside from the navy, after reorganizing the remnants of the Hydra Legion and the Bavarian Legion, this staunch ally's military strength may even be stronger than that of Britain and France.

As a result, Britain's importance to the United States was far less than it had been in the original timeline, which greatly reduced the concerns of the US military.

Thus, apart from East Germany, which still belonged to the Soviet Union, the United States unceremoniously occupied the north-central region centered around the industrial city of Hamburg, Britain occupied the west-central region, and the French region was the southwestern Baden-Württemberg.

However, in an attempt to appease Britain, the United States still feigned giving Britain what appeared to be the largest occupied territory.

However, if we take into account the US troops deliberately invited by Austria to be stationed in Bavaria, then the US-occupied area is still the largest and the best location.

Even if the British were unwilling, they had no choice but to accept it.

Dai Ying is no longer the Dai Ying she was before the war.

Especially now that the Pacific War is not over, Britain still has to consider the Americans' stance if it wants to protect its interests in the Pacific region.

As soon as Josie stepped off the plane at Hamburg's military airport, he saw a convoy led by Ophelia waiting in the distance to greet him.

"Have you made contact with them?" Josie asked Ophelia beside her as they settled into their seats.

“We’ve made contact, but they’re very hostile towards us and don’t trust us!” Ophelia said.
