American Comics Plane Trader

Chapter 78 Is It All Over? Innocent!

While Josie and General McGinnis were chatting happily, Peggy Carter hurried back to the headquarters of the Strategic Science Corps and broke into Colonel Phillips' office.

It happened that Howard Stark was also there, and the two were talking about something.

"Peggy, you're back!" Seeing Peggy Carter appear, Colonel Phillips greeted.

"Colonel, I met General McGinnis at Josie Kahn's estate. He mentioned a drug called Bright Light. What is that?" Carter asked straight to the point.

Phillips didn't answer when he heard the words, but looked at Howard Stark aside.

"Some samples were sent over there, and I analyzed them a bit. This is a highly effective neurological drug similar to night lights, and its effect is stronger than that of amphetamine and methamphetamine currently used in the army. Several times, but it does not have as serious side effects as night lights, and its ingredients are not similar to night lights. The only side effect is that it has the same addictive properties as amphetamine and methamphetamine... ...But this point is negligible in the eyes of the generals!" Howard shrugged, and briefly explained the situation of the Bright Lantern Potion.

The amphetamine and methamphetamine he mentioned would all belong to ice powder in the future, but in this era, they belong to the standing drugs of the military of various countries. The former belongs to the Allied forces and the latter belongs to the German army.

Even after World War II, the U.S. military used it until the 1970s before it was banned.

Therefore, the side effects of the bright lamp potion are not a problem at all during this period.

It's just that when Howard explained this drug, he didn't have any look of frustration or disappointment on his face that General McGinnis expected. It can replace the status of Einstein in other time and space (there is no Einstein in the Marvel Universe), and become the leader of this era. The greatest scientist, Howard Stark's magnanimity, is not something that McGinnis can speculate.

So even though he knew that the name of the Lighting Potion given by General McGinnis was deliberately disgusting him, Howard still didn't take it seriously.

"In other words, the suspicion of Josie Kahn can be completely cleared?" Hearing Howard say this, Peggy Carter heaved a sigh of relief. After all, investigating a person of Josie Kahn's level is not an easy job. Too much is too broad.

Phillips and Howard nodded. The appearance of the bright light made the night light meaningless. As for the lethality of the side effect of the night light? Don't be ridiculous, it might as well use mustard gas.

In this case, there is no need for Josie Kahn to order someone to steal the night light.

"Where's the female star?" Carter asked again, not forgetting to look at Howard with disdain.

Howard touched his nose slightly embarrassed.

"Let's release after 48 hours!" Colonel Phillips thought for a moment and said, "This woman's nerves are very tough. So far, there has been no sign of a confession, and the lie detector has no effect. If there is any tangible evidence that she replaced the potion, her identity cannot be executed."

"That's the only way to forget it?" Carter was a little bit unwilling. In her opinion, Whitney was very suspicious.

"I can't help it. The news from the troops ahead who used the Bright Lantern Potion has given a very high opinion of this potion, so the higher-ups don't want to hold on to this matter." Speaking of this, looking at the unwilling Carter, Colonel Phillips suddenly showed a mysterious smile, "Actually, it's not up to us to decide whether or not this matter counts!" However, "What do you mean!" Carter was a little puzzled.

Soon, two days passed, and the good news from the front continued to come.

The Normandy landing was a great success, and following the 506th regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, good news came from the 8th regiment of the 4th Infantry Division.

With little hesitation, the Allied High Command in Europe placed a huge order with Josie Kahn's newly established Kahn Industries.

Ten million lamp potions cost twenty dollars each.

This is already a very high price, and it is also a price that Josie set after consideration based on the purity and effect of the medicine. After all, this thing is not a product that can be used for a lifetime like a super soldier medicine. Pure consumables.

The continuous effect of a potion is about 24 hours, and it must be used continuously to ensure its combat effectiveness.

So if the price is too expensive, even the US military with deep pockets cannot afford it.

Besides, the tens of millions of medicines are only the first batch of orders.

However, not all of this money was paid by the US military itself.

Among them, the US military is responsible for 50%, the United Kingdom 30%, and the rest of the countries such as France and Canada 10%.

What? Britain and France waited for no money?

It's okay, the Lend-Lease bill is here, and the United States doesn't mind borrowing more money.

After receiving the order, the pharmaceutical factories that Josie had acquired in advance in London, Birmingham and other British cities immediately began to operate at full capacity.

At the same time, the stock of hundreds of thousands of medicines produced in advance was also sent to the front line as soon as possible.

Thanks to Yuri, the drug specially developed for his Psychic Corps was originally aimed at its large quantity and easy production, so the raw materials are relatively simple, and the corresponding plants are not only common in Josie's universe, but also There is also Westeros.

Although there were no such plants in Yuri's Cretaceous period, the climate there was also suitable for the growth of these plants, and now they have begun to be planted on a large scale.

However, whether it is Longma or Yuri, the large amount of these raw materials is not entirely for Josie. They also need this kind of thing that can improve the combat effectiveness of the army.

But it is precisely because of this that the current Josie is able to accept this huge order, otherwise, in the current environment in the UK, raw materials would be troublesome.

It was in this environment that Whitney, who had never confessed and could not be convicted, was finally released by the gendarmerie.

"Welcome home, Whitney!" Whitney, who had been locked up for 48 hours and could not rest at all, walked out of the gendarmerie with a haggard face, and saw Josie waiting outside the door with Vito.

"Mr. Kahn, did you help me out?" Seeing Josie, Whitney was very surprised.

In the gendarmerie, Whitney was under very strict supervision and it was difficult to get in touch with the outside world, so she didn't know what happened during her detention, and she had long been prepared to be detained by the military for a long time.

Now it was released in only 48 hours, which was completely beyond her expectation.

But seeing Josie at the door, she realized that it might be the work of her cheap boss.

"Of course, Whitney, I believe you are innocent, I can only say that your luck is not very good, that playboy Howard... Tsk!" Josie said and shook her head.

"Yeah, it's all because I saw the wrong person!" Whitney went down the hill.

"Okay, don't think too much, I've already prepared a dust-cleaning feast for you, eat a good meal, sleep, and everything will be over." Josie patted Whitney's shoulder lightly, pulling She got into the car.

Whitney did not refuse. Although the gendarmerie would not have no food, she did not have a good meal when she did not sleep for two days.

"Wait, aren't we going back to the hotel?" It was only after Vito drove for a while that Whitney sensed that something was wrong. This was not the way to their station.

"You were with Howard before, so I don't know very well. I bought a manor in the suburbs, and now it's a war, and the condolence team has no activities, so everyone moved to live in my manor." Josie said with a smile.

Whitney nodded after hearing the words, but did not speak, but she became slightly vigilant in her heart.

But when the car really drove into a suburban manor, and saw those company actors playing and resting in the garden in the distance, her vigilance eased.

But when Josie led her to the restaurant and saw a table full of food, her vigilance immediately dropped to the lowest level.

"Let's eat, I happen to be hungry too, let's eat some together!" Motioned Whitney to sit down, and then Josie sat at the table and began to eat.

Whitney, who had moved his index finger a long time ago, didn't think much about it immediately, and immediately started eating.

Just eating, she suddenly felt weak all over, and her consciousness began to blur.

But obviously, there was nothing she could do now.

In the end, before she lost consciousness, she only saw Josie standing up with a cold face on the opposite side, walked to her side and said, "Do you really think this is over like this? Naive!"
