MTL - Marvel Plane Trader-Chapter 298 Ceremony
Chapter 298 Observing the Ceremony
January 31, 1957, two days in the sky.
A huge fireball with a radius of five kilometers exploded violently in the dark polar night environment at the North Pole, illuminating the entire Arctic sky.
Immediately, a huge mushroom cloud with a width of nearly 40 kilometers and a height of about 64 kilometers just rose into the sky and lingered for a long time.
The shock wave generated by the entire explosion spread as far as an astonishing one thousand kilometers.
Several countries on the earth that have been paying attention to the launching process of this nuclear bomb were all silent in an instant.
The range is so far and the power is so powerful.
Those big countries are okay, but wouldn’t the small countries disappear immediately?
"Can we do this level of nuclear bomb and its launch method? Can we intercept this launch method?" In the White House conference hall, Eisenhower, who had just been re-elected last year, listened to the European side. After the summary report on the entire process of launching the first nuclear bomb, he asked the group of military leaders in front of him as an advisory group.
All the big guys look at me and I look at you, but no one speaks.
Because this is a very obvious problem, and no one is an idiot. When the intercontinental missile rushed out of the atmosphere, everyone knew that it was impossible for the missile to be achieved at the current level of the US military. intercept.
Eisenhower also understood this very well.
He asked this because he just wanted to find a reason for his next compromise.
"Mr. President, although we can't intercept this kind of nuclear bomb, we can actually manufacture and release it!" When everyone remained silent, Josie's boss, who was the chief of staff of the Army Department at the time, Admiral Maxwell Taylor, an acquaintance, spoke.
His words immediately attracted everyone's attention.
You must know that before this, the U.S. military has conducted many nuclear tests, but the yield has always been controlled within a certain range, and the delivery method is basically based on airdrops.
Missiles have also been tried, but in terms of long-range strategic missiles, the technology is still not perfect,
"Tell me about it?" Eisenhower looked at Admiral Taylor and nodded.
"In fact, our military and Boeing have launched a series of strategic missile research programs as early as 51 years ago, and achieved good results, but this program was approved by the Minister of Defense two years ago. Mr. stopped it, but Boeing still retained the relevant research materials and continued to conduct research even though it lost the support of the military, and made new breakthroughs last year. At that time, I reported this matter to Mr. Minister, But it seems to be ignored!" Admiral Taylor said, while praising Boeing, he put eye drops on the Secretary of Defense.
Admiral Taylor's words made Eisenhower and then Secretary of Defense Charles Owen Wilson twitch their brows.
All the people present also kept wandering around the three of them.
Immediately understood the tricks.
Whose company is Boeing? It was the mega-tycoon, a subsidiary of Josh Kahn's Continental Corporation.
It was also the largest supplier of the U.S. Army and aerospace industry during the Truman period.
And since World War II, the relationship between Josie Kahn and the Army is irreversible, as long as they reach a certain level, they will not be unaware.
The General Taylor in front of him maintained a very good personal relationship with Josie Kahn even during World War II.
But the cooperation between Boeing and the military has been hindered to a certain extent after Eisenhower took office.
The problem lies with the Secretary of Defense appointed by Eisenhower.
This one, before becoming Secretary of Defense, had been the president of General Motors for nearly ten years.
As for General Motors, during World War II, it was the number one supplier of the U.S. military, and it was not a member of the council.
It’s just that during World War II, General Motors supplied military equipment such as airplanes, trucks, and tanks.
At that time, what Josie mainly supplied was medicine, food and other daily necessities.
So at that time, the two parties did not have much conflict of interest.
But after World War II, with the help of the board of directors and the Chicago consortium, Josie bought some companies such as Boeing and began to intervene in the arms business, and the contradictions between the two parties naturally appeared.
It’s just that the relationship between Josie and the Truman administration was very good at that time, and the various military equipment developed by Josie’s company was better than GM’s. Josie even joined the Truman administration directly as a senior intelligence officer, and even Hoover, who once overshadowed the sky, stepped down.
In this case, even if General Motors stands in Howard Stark's camp, in most cases, it can only rely on its old foundation and eat some leftovers such as foundry.
After Eisenhower came to power, he actually got along well with the Continental Group. For example, the robot industry and the nationwide anti-crime operation received strong support from Eisenhower.
In other aspects, Eisenhower just felt that Continental Group had too much influence on the military and the government, so he promoted some agents of Continental Group's rival consortia.
Josie, whose actual focus is no longer in the United States, didn't take it seriously.
But during the nearly one year that Josie was away from the earth, the people of the GM Group seemed to have seen the opportunity and started to make troubles frequently, especially the Minister of Defense, who used his power to cut off many military and Collaborative project with Boeing.
It's just because the loss was not big, so Josie, who was not on the earth at the time, didn't make people hold her accountable—after all, the other party's behavior was considered within the rules.
But not pursuing it at the time does not mean that there is a chance that I will not get it back.
And now is a good opportunity.
Boeing is owned by Josie. It has developed the technology, but it was rejected by the Ministry of Defense.
The Queen of Austria is the daughter of Josie. Josie's Continental Group has a pivotal influence in Austria, and then suddenly has strategic missile technology.
It's hard not to make people associate accordingly.
Facing General Taylor's attacks, Secretary of Defense Wilson wanted to call Boeing a treason!
But he is a person with brains, knowing that if he really wants to say this, he will only be laughed at.
Because Taylor only said that Boeing has strategic missile technology from beginning to end, but he never said that the technology used in Austria is from Boeing.
This kind of accusation, at this level, is very serious if there is no evidence.
Wilson didn't want to die on the street that day.
"Sorry, Mr. President, this matter is my responsibility. Afterwards, I will apologize to Boeing and restart cooperation with Boeing. I will definitely let our country have enough excellent strategic weapons in the shortest possible time!" Wilson insisted He took the responsibility onto himself.
"This matter is not urgent. The most urgent thing is the founding parade of the United Kingdom of Austria tomorrow. Let's discuss the visiting personnel as soon as possible. Time is running out!" Eisenhower waved his hand.
As soon as he said this, all the staff members looked at each other in dismay.
Good guy, it’s only a dozen hours before Austria’s founding military parade, right? Listen, this means that Mr. President is planning to go to Vienna in person?
Fortunately, the speed of the current aircraft is fast, otherwise it would be impossible to catch up.
The situation similar to the White House is also constantly happening in other countries.
France, the troops that were heading towards Germany on the way, were directly recalled by the government urgently.
At the same time, President Gustav Coty personally sent a telegram to Vienna to congratulate the establishment of the United Kingdom of Austria, and he will participate in the military parade on time tomorrow.
In the United Kingdom, the then Prime Minister Robert Anthony Eden announced his resignation-the reason why the prime minister resigned was not simply because of the incident in Austria.
56 years, at the same time as the Czech-Hungarian crisis broke out, a conflict broke out in Egypt, which is the famous Suez Canal crisis in history.
In the original time and space, Britain, France, and Israel were originally victorious in this crisis, but they failed under the joint pressure of the United States, Mao Xiong and other countries.
But in this world, the place where Israel was founded has changed land, so it didn't participate.
The Egyptian army secretly received military support from Ouroboros.
So although Britain and France were not able to completely defeat, they also successfully prevented the military operations of the two countries, and the dream of the two countries to control the Suez Canal again was also shattered.
Then the United States and Mao Xiong also fell into trouble, criticizing the military actions of Britain and France.
In this case, Aiden’s position was already unstable. He originally wanted to take advantage of the Czech-Hungarian crisis to pull back a round in order to divert domestic conflicts.
For this reason, he also specially invited Churchill, the retired old boss.
But an intercontinental nuclear missile directly and completely shattered his plan, so he could only announce his resignation in despair.
The new prime minister has not been elected yet, what should we do?
In the end, only a few years after taking the throne, the Queen of England who was just 30 years old (fuck, this name is actually a masked word) stood up and gave a speech.
The content of the speech praised the Queen of the United Kingdom of Austria, and the principle of peaceful coexistence mentioned by Carol Kahn, saying that the friendship between Britain and Austria has a long history, and the two sides should work together for the prosperity of Europe~~~
In short, it represents the British royal family and recognizes the newborn United Kingdom of Austria.
After listening to the Queen's speech, Churchill, who took to the streets to advocate the Austrian threat theory a few days ago, was in a very bad situation. He was already in his eighties and in poor health, so he was sent directly to the emergency room , I'm about to go see a bunch of old World War II buddies.
Mao Xiong has become the only country in Europe that has not "admitted defeat", and is still criticizing Austria's series of measures through international public opinion.
Called that Austria’s test of nuclear weapons is the greatest threat to world peace, and that the establishment of a kingdom is a reversal of history, etc.
At the same time, he threatened that the Czech-Hungarian riots were planned by Austria alone. This is a conspiracy and so on.
stated that he would never participate in the founding ceremony of Austria, and sent his first deputy Mikoyan to Austria to conduct "serious negotiations" with Austria!
At the same time, in terms of military measures, the offensive against Hungary and Czechoslovakia was stopped, and instead, defense lines were built in Romania, Poland, Ukraine, and the Yugoslav Federation border with only a small area left, declaring that the evil Austria would be blocked forever. Outside the bear land.
As for the leaders of some other European countries, especially those members of the original Mediterranean Trade Union, they flew to Vienna by plane as early as the first time.
"How do you feel?" In the early morning of February 1, in the Queen's bedroom at Schönbrunn Palace, Josie and Margot looked at their daughter Carol, who had changed into the Queen's costume and was looking in the mirror, and asked with a smile.
In the future, this Schönbrunn Palace will be the palace of Karol.
Isn't this more grand than Buckingham Palace?
Although he is only twelve years old, but because of good genes, good life, and the girl's relatively early development, Carol is already tall, close to 1.6 meters, wearing a gorgeous court attire, looks like a queen demeanor.
Of course, the twin brother Mike and the younger brother Ben, who were also dressed in costumes and prepared to watch the ceremony, were also not bad.
"Don't worry, father, I will become an excellent queen!" Carol raised her head proudly like a swan and said.
In the past few years, after receiving the monarch education arranged by Josie early, although his mind is not yet fully mature, Carol has also accepted the matter of becoming a queen early, and has been working hard for it, and very far. pride.
See, girls all over the world are still at an age where they dream of being princesses, and she goes straight through all the intermediate stages and becomes a queen.
Isn't that something to be proud of?
Of course she also understands that this is because she has such a father as Josie.
But if you reincarnate well, that’s your skill, right?
"Of course I believe it!" Josie looked at her daughter who seemed to have grown up suddenly, and for some reason suddenly felt a sense of loss in her heart.
My little cabbage has grown up, and I don’t know that it will be cheaper than that **** in the future!
No, with the current status of my little cabbage, is there anyone on earth worthy of it?
Could it be possible to find a talented son-in-law from an alien civilization?
Just thinking of the strange aliens he had seen before, Josie couldn't help but feel a shudder.
Just as he was thinking wildly, he suddenly felt a familiar spatial fluctuation in the air.
At this time, everyone in the room, including the maid who dressed Kyrol, are all cronies, so no one can avoid him.
The next second, a space door appeared in the room, and then Gu Yi walked out from it.
After the showdown between Josie and Margot, Gu Yi became a frequent visitor to their family, and even the three children were familiar with her.
Regarding her appearance, apart from being a little surprised, she didn't make a fuss. Instead, she respectfully greeted this human magic supreme.
"Your Excellency Gu Yi? Why are you here?" Josie was also wondering why she came here suddenly.
"Anyway, Carol also called me teacher, of course I have to come to her coronation ceremony, baby, this is for you!" Gu Yi didn't answer Josie immediately, but hugged Carol, and then gave her Wearing a very simple necklace.
Josie knew at a glance that this was a very powerful magic item, and it was a very expensive gift.
"...I don't think that's the reason, right?" Josie raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, besides that, I'm also here to inform you that the two princes of Asgard will also come to watch the ceremony on behalf of Asgard later!" Gu Yi looked at him and said meaningfully.
Hearing what Gu Yi said, Josie was stunned.
The two princes of Asgard?
Thor and Loki?
Come to a mortal country to observe the ceremony?
That old Odin lost his mind?
