Chapter 129: The Estuary

"What a pity!" On the terrace of Neuschwanstein Castle, Josie sighed and put down the newspaper in his hand.

The content in the newspaper is exactly the news that the six cities of Jiaopenji have launched nuclear barbecue activities.

The six cities are Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Kyoto, Kokura, Niigata, and Nagoya.

There is no Edo.

That's why Josie sighed.

But there is no way, increasing the number of nuclear bombs dropped to six is ​​already the ultimate he can do by using his relationship.

Out of the United States' own interests and political considerations, Edo was still excluded from the scope of nuclear bombing.

However, the situation in Edo is not better than the original situation, because before the Weimar meeting, the famous barbecue master Li Mei, just like the original time and space, dedicated a delicate and delicious barbecue to Edo .

Because the European War ended early, it was convenient for the Allied forces to deploy more air forces to the Pacific region.

Therefore, the scale of barbecue is larger than the original space-time.

Although the temperature of the fire was much lower, it was still around 1,000 degrees.

Many acquaintances expressed their joy.

It's just that the recruited boys still haven't been able to enjoy this taste, which makes Josie feel very regretful.

But it doesn't matter, it's just a recruiting boy. As one of the leaders of Hydra, Josie expressed that he doesn't believe that this guy's life can be tougher than Ross Fu and Melody, and there will always be a chance in the future.

Anyway, this is the Marvel universe, even Manhattan can be bombed by aliens, and nuclear barbecue activities are almost carried out. Why can’t Edo carry out a few more times?

Throwing the newspaper aside, Josie got up and walked to the side of the tower, looking down, the wonderful scenery among the mountains and forests made him feel refreshed.

In the courtyard of the castle, there are a group of workers working in full swing.

He came here three days ago.

It has to be said that as long as the manpower and materials are sufficient, and the workers are given a second thought, the work efficiency will be extremely high. In less than half a year, Neuschwanstein Castle was half completed.

This efficiency is much better than the labor efficiency of the workers who were always on strike during the period of Ludwig II and the labor efficiency of later generations.

By next year, I will basically be able to bring Margot and the older two babies over for vacation.

On the opposite side of the mountain, the (old) Hochschwanstein Castle has been renovated a long time ago. After all, Hohenschwanstein Castle is not as big as Neuschwanstein Castle, and it needs to be more complete, so the time required for renovation is naturally shorter.

"Boss, it's done!" Just as Josie was looking down at his territory, Ophelia ran up excitedly.

"Has Mao Xiong agreed to our terms?" Josie turned around and asked.

"Yes, as long as they get the complete technical information, they will acquiesce in our actual control over the Slovenia region!" Ophelia replied excitedly.

"That's really a good thing!" Josie also had a bright smile on his face when he heard the words.

Although almost half a year has passed since the end of the war in the European part of World War II, it does not mean that all disputes are over.

The Cold War confrontation between the two camps of the East and the West has led to many small countries still fighting again and again.

Yugoslavia in the Balkans is one of them.

Like many countries, during World War II, Yugoslavia was also divided into the Homeland Army faction that supported the Yugoslav Kingdom-in-Exile government, and the Federation faction headed by the famous Iron Emperor.

In the original time and space, the Motherland Army led by Della Mikhailovich tried to surrender to the British and American occupying forces in Italy and Austria in the early days of World War II in order to preserve the continuation of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

But it is a pity that in the original time and space, the military power of the Austrian main bear was extremely strong. Britain, the United States and other countries did not want to pluck the fierce bear's beard just because of the motherland army, and sold the motherland army directly.

As a result, the Homeland Army headed by Mikhailovich was directly sold by the Allied Forces. The Homeland Army was completely surrounded by Mao Xiong and Iron Emperor, and became a lone army.

It was completely wiped out in 1946.

However, just after World War II ended and the Hydra Legion in Yugoslavia had not been completely wiped out, the Austrian army took the lead in taking the lead in making contact with the Motherland Army and King Peter II of Yugoslavia living in the UK.

He expressed his willingness to accept them and help them re-establish the Kingdom of Yugoslavia—of course, it must not be a complete kingdom. Josie is not crazy enough to go to war with the Iron Emperor and Mao Xiong because of this matter.

However, it is still possible to establish a small kingdom of Yugoslavia in some areas such as Slovenia.

And this matter has also been tacitly approved by Meiguo.

There is no doubt that this is a risky act that will anger Emperor Iron and cause dissatisfaction from Mao Xiong's side.

But this risk is worth taking for Josie, Austria, and the United States.

why? Because of the estuary.

The importance of the estuary to a country is basically known to anyone with a little common sense.

The original Austria was a completely landlocked country.

Bavaria is also a landlocked region.

After the merger of the two places, although the national power will inevitably increase significantly, the lack of a seaport will obviously greatly hinder the development of New Austria.

And if Austria wants to enter the sea, it can only expand to the south.

And its south has only two countries, one Yugoslavia and one Italy.

There is no doubt that Italy, which surrendered to the Allied forces earlier than Austria, is now hugging the Americans' thighs very tightly, and Austria can't do anything at all.

That being the case, the only thing left is Yugoslavia, and Slovenia and West Croatia have become the top priorities.

Coincidentally, the existence of the Motherland Army gave Austria and the United States an excuse to do something. In order to get the support of the United States, Austria also went out of its way to agree to the United States. It doesn't hurt to sell.

As for the original owners of this area, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and the Homeland Army—do they have a choice?

absolutely not.

Tie Dadi can be said to be very tyrannical to them, and he will be killed immediately if he is caught.

On the side of Austria and the United States, they lost most of their control over the country.

But it fell into the hands of Emperor Tie, and he couldn't even save his life.

It is also because of this incident that at the Weimar conference, the representatives of Mao Xiong and Iron Emperor also broke up with the United States and Austria for a time.

Ophelia even got into a private fight with a representative of Bear, who was also a woman.

According to Ophelia’s description, it’s hard for Josie not to connect the woman she’s talking about named Claire Wayan with the Black Widow—it’s just the first generation of Black Widow, shouldn’t it be Dotty Underwood ?

In addition, the confrontation between the armies of the two sides in Croatia was very serious-but it was mainly the confrontation between the Austrian army and the Iron Emperor's army, and Mao Xiong and the United States did not end directly.

After all, World War II had just ended, and the United States was fine, but Mao Xiong was far from recovering at this time.

However, the situation of all this changed when six American children went to Jiaopenji to hold a barbecue meeting.

There is no doubt that Mao Xiong is a little anxious now, so much so that he sold the Iron Emperor and agreed to Josie's conditions in order to obtain information on nuclear weapons.

Of course, it might not be that easy to compromise on Emperor Tie's side, after all, this is the first leader in Mao Xiong's camp who dared to confront Mao Xiong.

But as long as there is no Mao Xiong's support, Tie Dadi alone will not be able to turn the storm.

Anyway, even if Josie doesn't interfere, Yugoslavia will inevitably disintegrate in a few decades, and this land is not as cheap as Josie.

"Prepare the plane immediately, I'm going to see Eisen Howell!" Josie was very happy with Mao Xiong's retreat, so he immediately prepared to take action, but instead of rushing to deliver materials to Mao Xiong, he was planning to buy a warship .

With an entrance to the sea, it is natural to have a navy.

It's just that Austria, as a landlocked country, doesn't have any shipbuilding industry-if you don't count the small shipyards for inland rivers.

But when he was in Hamburg, Josie had quietly found a good shipyard, but building a warship was not that simple, it cost money, labor, technology, and most importantly, time.

So at the beginning, they could only buy it, and Josie's first target naturally hit the German fleet that had just been divided up by the Allies.

Of course, the German fleet itself doesn't have many ships, so Josie doesn't have much choice.

But there is one battleship that is easy to get, and that is the auspicious ship assigned to the US Navy, the Prinz Eugen.

Although the relationship between Josie and the U.S. Navy is not very good, buying a warship does not require the approval of the Admiralty, just go to Eisen Howell directly.

What's more, the Prinz Eugen, a non-U.S. standard warship, is of little significance to the U.S. Navy—otherwise, how could it be used as a target ship for nuclear bombs in the second year after the end of the war?
