Chapter 133 The Zodiac

"It's fine if you don't have an opinion. After all, the rebirth plan means a lot to us!" Seeing Josie's statement, Thomas and several 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 the insiders of the council, Josie.

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

Josh doesn't care, it's that 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 our people. According to the information we have obtained, many of his Once the research is published, it will have a subversive impact on the industry we have now, and we must take a countermeasure against it!" As long as Josie doesn't object to Bucky's matter, there will be no problem, so Thomas immediately changed the topic. On to the next item.

"Humph! Just kill it, what countermeasures are needed!" Hugh Jones snorted coldly, "It's not that he hasn't done it before!"

Hearing Hugh Jones's words, everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on him.

why? Because before that, almost everyone knew that Hugh Jones and Howard had a very good relationship. When Howard discovered the vibrating gold, the people of the council had attacked Howard, trying to seize the small piece of vibrating gold.

But after the first defeat, there was no following, because Hugh Jones spoke for Howard in the council.

And Howard's rapid rise, in fact, also has a credit to Roxon.

But now, listen to Hugh Jones, to kill Howard?

This made the other directors very puzzled.

Only Josh looked at Hugh Jones thoughtfully.

Is this Hugh Jones discovering himself cuckold early?

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

"Howard is different today. I'm afraid it will be a more difficult thing 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 unexpected. The two issues involving the top management of the council, which should have been the most troublesome, were now passed at the fastest speed.

It's just like he said, Howard is valued by the Pentagon and the White House because of his powerful inventiveness, and assassination is not a good idea.

Josh on the other side knows better, this is probably the plot of Howard being declared "treason" in the first season of Agent Carter - Josh just hasn't watched the second season, and the plot of the first season is still known.

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

That is to say, the Council's next action against Howard will likely fail, and not only will it fail, but it will also lead to the evolution of the Strategic Science Corps to S.H.I.E.L.D.

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

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

"In that case, let's talk about zero matter, which was discovered by the military during the first nuclear test in New Mexico. After the nuclear explosion, something similar to a space portal appeared, which led to a military team's Missing, only some fluid-like black matter was left at the scene. The military named it zero matter, and the Itherdan company also collected some. The council plans to invest some funds for development and research. Dan leads, are the rest of you interested in participating?" Thomas asked.

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

Because apart from Thomas' First Citigroup and Calvin Chadwick's Itherdan, the three of them are relatively wealthy, and the remaining few are basically engaged in politics and military affairs, and there are not many economic resources.

"I don't care, my next energy here will be mainly focused on aerospace, and I will waste energy and money, and I have no energy to do anything else!" Josie was the first to express her refusal.

However, this is half-truth, and it would be a lie to say that he is not interested in this thing of zero matter.

But it's okay to mix it up with Elthedan.

"Oh? No wonder you bought shares of Boeing from Hugh. If you have Chase's project, you can send me a copy later. Citigroup and I also have some shares, and we can cooperate!" When Josie was interested in the aerospace industry, Thomas couldn't help nodding his head.

There are basically no short-sighted people who can sit here, so even in this era when the aviation industry is still in its initial stage of development, when the aerospace industry is barely visible, everyone understands the importance of this industry.

But like what Josie said, this is also an industry that consumes a lot of time, energy and money, with no return in sight. Therefore, most capitalists are also reluctant to spend too much energy on this matter. Only the country has the ability to lead.

Now that Qiao Xi is willing to plunge into this pit, the council can't say that it will fully support it, but it is absolutely impossible to hold back. After all, in their opinion, it is difficult to find such a big head 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 infiltration of the SSR is progressing slowly, I have to keep an eye on it!" Malik shook his head. One of his main tasks was the infiltration of the Strategic Science Corps, so he was in no mood to do any research.

"Then it's settled. The Roxon Group will cooperate with Itherdan. If there is no other opinion, the meeting will be over!" Seeing that no one spoke any more, Thomas said immediately.

Josie likes this kind of meeting mode of the council very much. She talks about something, and doesn't force anything.

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

The exits of the nine small gates are all different, some are hotels on the left side of the club, some are restaurants on the right side 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 connection between the nine people. On the surface, the industries are only normal business transactions between some subsidiaries.

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

Out of the wicket, Josie appeared in a box on the second floor of the club. Vito and another bodyguard were guarding the box.

As for Aldo, who has long since assumed office and set up the Blackwater Military Service Company, it is naturally unlikely that he will appear by Josie's side as a bodyguard for him.

Josh had 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 did you come here? You're not afraid of those old men finding out?" Josh asked in surprise when he saw Malik.

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

"You've run out? ... I remember I left you twenty before I went to Europe!" Josh's eyes widened when he heard Malik's words.

As his hidden ally in the council, one of the conditions Josie gave Malik was to provide a portion of the potion every year.

"Don't mention it!" Malik's face flashed an unnatural look when he heard Josie ask why the potion was being used so quickly, "I accidentally got into a mysterious organization before, and in the past half a year, I have already encountered There have been more than ten assassinations, and several times if it wasn't for the medicine you gave me, I might have been unable to stand in front of you!"

"Oh? Is there such a thing? You didn't report to the council?" Josie couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard Malik's words.

This is really a strange story in the world. Since the establishment of Hydra, most of the time, Hydra has assassinated others. It can be considered a rare thing to be assassinated by others.

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

"What?" Josie raised 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 potion that can give people a very strong combat power in a short period of time, similar to your beast chemical potion, but with more serious side effects, it can only last for ten minutes, and when the time is up, it will turn into a puddle. Liquid, and the remaining liquid is also highly transmitted and lethal, fortunately it does not last for a long time and is not infectious, and it will automatically decompose after about an hour." Malik explained, not forgetting after the end. Holding Qiao Xi, "Of course, compared with your beast chemical potion, it is still almost meaningless. Although the combat power is barely equal, but"

"...It sounds a bit interesting, so after so long, you should have some clues about that organization, right?" Josie nodded slightly after hearing the words, and then asked.

"Very few, only know that their name is Zodiac, it should be from Europe, that medicine is also called Zodiac." Malik said.

"Cough cough cough... Zodiac?" Josie, who had just taken a sip of coffee, almost choked herself to death.

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

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

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 really only knew a little bit, such as the potion Malik said, in the MCU, before Agent Carter came out, there was a ten-minute short film of Agent Carter.

In it, Carter traced a tube called Zodiac medicine when he was excluded 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 take place after the episode of Agent Carter, because the short film ends with Howard and Dam Dugan watching bikini beauties, and the bikini thing only appeared in the second half of 1946. The plot time of the first season of Agent Carter Line, but it was the beginning of 46.

"Then..." Malik's eyes lit up when he heard that Josie also knew about this organization.

"Don't even think about it, I just know them, but I don't actually have any communication!" Josh rolled his eyes and refused before Malik finished speaking, but he didn't completely refuse, "But it's okay if you want the beast potion, It’s fine to pay for the excess, since that amount of money is trivial to you anyway.”

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

Now that the goal was achieved, Malik didn't stop there too much. Just like what Josie said before, it would not be a good thing if the old man of the council noticed that the two were too close.

But Malik had only been out for a few minutes, and Josh was about to get up and leave when there was another knock on the door.

When he opened the door, there was a tightly packed person.

Guys, who else is Hugh Jones?

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

As a vampire, Hugh Jones is very sensitive to the human breath. He could come and knock on the door after the meeting, but he has not come until now, obviously because he discovered Malik's movement, so he waited until now.

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

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

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

"I believe that most of the directors are not so busy, staring at others every day. How is this time, are you still getting used to it? I only have red wine here, don't dislike it!" Josie asked, and motioned Vito to go down. glass of red wine.

"Of course I don't dislike it. It's not that the vampires can't eat human food at all, it's just that they can't digest it! As for the life after turning into vampires, it's okay, except for that damn bitch and Howard Stark." Hugh. Jones waved his hands.

"...Get used to it, let's talk about what you want to do with me, it won't be for me to kill Howard!" Josie didn't like to comment on other people's private affairs at will, so he could only pretend he didn't know.

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

The first chapter is four thousand, and in the early morning - well, there will be another chapter in the morning
