Chapter 133: Zodiac

  Chapter 133 Zodiac

   "It's good that you don't have an opinion. After all, the rebirth plan is of great significance to us!" Seeing Josie's statement, Thomas and other old people looked at him with approval.

  For them, the biggest obstacle to attacking Bucky is not the Strategic Science Corps and other law enforcement agencies, but Josie, an insider of the council.

  After all, everyone in the world who knows Bucky knows that Bucky was rescued by Josie.

   If Josie doesn't care, then things will be simple.

"The second thing is Howard Stark. I have to say that this is a super genius. Many of his inventions are enough to change the world. But unfortunately, he is not one of us. According to the information we have obtained, many of his Once the research comes out, it will have a subversive impact on our current industry, and we must take countermeasures!" As long as Josie does not object to Bucky's matter, there will be no problem, so Thomas immediately changed the topic to On to the next item.

   "Hmph! Just kill it directly, what countermeasures do you need!" Hugh Jones snorted coldly, "It's not like I haven't done it before!"

  Hearing what Hugh Jones said, everyone's eyes could not help but focus on him.

why? Because before that, almost everyone knew that the relationship between Hugh Jones and Howard was very good. When Howard discovered Zhenjin, people from the council once attacked Howard, trying to seize that small piece of Zhenjin.

  But after the first failure, there was no follow-up, because Hugh Jones spoke for Howard in the council.

   And Howard's rapid rise is actually due to Roxon's contribution.

   But now, according to Hugh Jones, is he going to kill Howard?

   This made the other directors very puzzled.

   Only Josie looked at Hugh Jones thoughtfully.

   Is this Hugh Jones finding out he's cuckolded ahead of time?

  By the way, as a vampire, he should still be very sensitive to the breath of humans, so it makes sense for Hugh Jones to find the breath of other men on his wife.

"Howard is different today. It may be difficult to kill him, but we can try to restrict him in other ways!" Seeing that Hugh Jones did not object, Thomas nodded immediately. Today's meeting The situation was somewhat beyond his expectations. The two issues involved the high level of the council, which should have been the most troublesome issues, but now the resolutions were passed at the fastest speed.

   Just as he said, Howard is valued by the Pentagon and the White House because of his strong inventive ability, and assassination is not a good idea.

   On the other side, Josie knows better. This is probably the story of Howard being declared "treason" in the first season of Agent Carter-Josie just hasn't watched the second season, and he still knows the plot of the first season.

   It was Carter's experience in the first season that made Howard become the leader of the Strategic Science Corps after turning over.

   That is to say, there is a high probability that the council's next action against Howard will fail, and not only failed, but also contributed to the evolution of the Strategic Science Corps into SHIELD.

  But for this situation, Josie didn't intend to change anything.

   After all, he has nothing to do with Howard in general, so naturally he doesn't care.

"In this case, let's talk about zero matter. This was discovered by the military during the first nuclear test in New Mexico. After the nuclear explosion, there was a thing like a space portal, which led to a military team. Missing, only some fluid black matter was left at the scene, the military named it Zero Matter, and Estherdan Company also collected some, the council is going to invest some funds for development and research on this, and for the time being, Esther Dan leads, are the rest of you interested in participating?" Thomas asked.

   But his eyes were mainly on Josie, Hugh Jones, and Malik.

  Because apart from Thomas’ First Citigroup and Calvin Chadwick’s Atherdan, only the three of them are relatively rich, and the rest are basically engaged in politics and military affairs, with few economic resources.

   "I'll forget it. My next energy here will be mainly focused on aerospace, which consumes energy and money, and I don't have the energy to do other things!" Josie was the first to express her refusal.

   But this statement is half true and half false. It would be a lie to say that he is not interested in zero matter.

  But it’s okay to mix it with Etherdan.

"Oh? No wonder you bought Boeing shares from Hugh. If you have Chase's project, you can send me a copy later. Citigroup and I also have part of the shares, and we can cooperate!" Listen Seeing that Josie was interested in the aerospace industry, Thomas nodded involuntarily.

   There are basically no short-sighted people who can sit here, so even in this era when the aviation industry is only in its infancy, and the aerospace industry has almost no effect, everyone understands the importance of this industry.

But just like what Josie said, this is also an industry that consumes a lot of time, energy and money, and the return is far away. Therefore, most capitalists are not willing to spend too much energy on this matter. It is the state that has the ability to lead.

   Now that Josie is willing to plunge into this pit, the council can’t say that he will give full support, but it is absolutely impossible to hold back. After all, in their view, it is not easy to find such a person who is willing to invest heavily in a certain scientific research.

   "I can provide some funds and equipment support!" Hugh Jones said.

   "I can't, the progress of the penetration of the SSR is relatively slow, I have to keep an eye on it!" Malik shook his head. One of his main tasks is the penetration of the Strategic Science Corps, so he has no mood to do any research.

   "Then it's settled. The Roxon Group will cooperate with Estherdan. If there is no other opinion, the meeting will end!" Seeing that no one spoke, Thomas immediately decided.

  Josie likes the meeting mode of the board of directors very much. If there is something to talk about, there is nothing to push.

  After the meeting ended, the nine people left through nine different small doors in this meeting room.

  The exits of the nine small gates are all different, some are the hotel on the left of the club, some are the restaurant on the right of the club, and some are directly on the street behind the club.

   In the outside world, apart from some normal business gatherings and exchanges, there is almost no public contact between the nine people. The industry, on the surface, is at most just a normal business relationship between some subsidiaries.

  So even if someone is seriously injured one day, it is impossible to contact the rest of the directors.

  Out of the small gate, Josie appeared in a box on the second floor of the club, and it was Vito and another bodyguard guarding the box.

   As for Aldo, who has taken office long ago to form the Blackwater Military Service Company, it is naturally unlikely that he will appear beside Josie as his bodyguard.

  Josie just sat down in the box and was about to have a cup of coffee before leaving, when the box door rang.

  Vito opened the door, but it was Malik.

   "Why are you here? Are you afraid that those old men will find out?" Josie asked in surprise when seeing Malik.

   "I want to buy another batch of medicine!" After Vito closed the door, Malik sat next to Josie and whispered.

   "You've run out of them?...I remember I left twenty of them for you before I went to Europe!" Hearing Malik's words, Josie couldn't help but widen her eyes.

   As his hidden ally in the council, one of Josie's conditions for Malik is to provide a part of the potion every year.

"Don't mention it!" Hearing Josie ask why the potion was used so quickly, a look of unnaturalness flashed across Malik's face, "I accidentally provoked a mysterious organization before, and in the past six months, I have encountered I have committed more than ten assassinations, several times, if it wasn't for the potion you gave me, I might not be able to stand in front of you!"

   "Oh? There is such a thing? You didn't report it to the council?" Hearing Malik's words, Josie couldn't help being a little surprised.

   This is really an anecdote in the world. Since the establishment of Hydra, Hydra has assassinated others most of the time. Being assassinated by others can be regarded as a rare thing.

   "...This is my private matter, and I got something from the other party!" Malik said mysteriously.

   "What?" Josie couldn't help raising her eyebrows when she heard the words. No wonder she didn't report it. It turned out that she was going to eat alone.

"A powerful biochemical agent that can give people a very strong combat power for a short period of time. It is similar to your animal agent, but the side effects are more serious. It can only last for more than ten minutes. After the time is up, it will turn into a puddle. Liquid, and the remaining pool of liquid is also highly infectious and deadly, but fortunately, it does not last long and is not contagious, and it will decompose automatically after about an hour." Malik explained, not forgetting Give Josie a hand, "Of course, it's almost meaningless compared to your veterinary potion. Although the combat power is barely the same, but"

   "...It sounds interesting, so after so long, you must have some clues about that organization, right?" Josie nodded slightly after hearing this, and then asked.

   "Very few, I only know that their name is Zodiac. It should come from Europe. The potion is also called Zodiac." Malik said.

   "Cough cough cough...Zodiac?" Josie almost choked himself to death after taking a sip of coffee.

   "What? You know this organization?" Malik was a little surprised.

   "I do know a little bit, but I don't know much more than you!" Because it was too obvious, Josie simply admitted.

   Of course, the Zodiac here has nothing to do with the awesome organization in the comics, but should be a half-agent, half-terrorist organization similar to Leviathan.

   And Josie does only know a little bit, such as the potion Malik mentioned, in the MCU, before Agent Carter came out, there was a ten-minute short film about Agent Carter.

  In it, Carter tracked down a tube of potion named Zodiac when he was squeezed out by the Strategic Science Corps, and then received a call from Howard, inviting her to participate in the reorganization of the Strategic Science Corps and the establishment of S.H.I.E.L.D.

This plot should happen after the episode of Agent Carter, because at the end of the short film, Howard and Dame Dugan are watching beautiful women in bikinis, and bikinis only appeared in the second half of 1946, the plot time of the first season of Agent Carter line, but it was in early 1946.

   "Then..." Hearing that Josie also knew about this organization, Malik couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

"Don't even think about it, I just know them, but I don't actually have any communication!" Josie rolled her eyes and refused before Malik finished speaking, but she didn't completely refuse, "But you don't have any problem with the veterinary potion. Just pay for the excess, anyway, that little money is nothing to you."

   "That's good! That's good!" Although it was a bit regretful that he couldn't pull Josie into his trench, Malik's main goal was still achieved.

  Since the goal was achieved, Malik did not stay too long. Just like what Josie said before, it would not be a very good thing if the old man of the council found out that the two were too close.

   But here, Malik had only been out for a few minutes, and Josie was just about to get up and leave when the door was knocked again.

  Open the door, but it is a tightly wrapped person.

   Dude, who else is Hugh Jones?

   "I'm afraid you came very early?" Seeing Hugh Jones, Josie couldn't help raising his eyebrows and asked.

  As a vampire, Hugh Jones is very sensitive to the breath of humans. He could come and knock on the door after the meeting, but he didn’t come until now. Obviously, he waited until now because he discovered Malik’s movements.

   "Yes, I've been waiting for a while!" Hugh Jones didn't deny it either. He walked in and took off his mask, hat and other shades, revealing a slightly pale face.

   These things are actually useless to him indoors. What he is afraid of is the sun, not ordinary lights, and there are no ultraviolet lights in the club.

   "But don't worry, there is no one else but me!" Hugh Jones said again.

"I believe that most of the directors should not be so free. They stare at others every day. How is it during this time? Are you still used to it? I only have red wine here, don't be disgusted!" Josie asked, and at the same time motioned Vito to pour glass of red wine.

"Of course I don't dislike it. It's not that the blood race can't eat human food at all, it's just that they can't digest it! As for the life after becoming a blood race, it's pretty passable, except for that **** **** and Howard Stark." Hugh Jones waved his hand.

   "... just get used to it, let's talk about what you want me to do, you won't want me to kill Howard!" Josie can't comment on other people's private affairs at will, so he can only pretend to be ignorant.

   "That's not true, I came to you because of another thing, that is, after I came back, I found out that there are blood races in the United States, and there are still a lot of them, so I want your help!" Hugh Jones said.

   There will be a chapter of 4,000 first, in the early morning—well, there will be another chapter in the morning
