American Comics Plane Trader

Under the guidance of Aldo, the three of them quickly walked through the corridors and came to a room on the first floor of the castle wing.

Here, there is a cellar, which is where the research institute is located.

According to Aldo's introduction, the castle has several cellars, but most of them are the same as the rooms upstairs in the castle, and they have not been completed.

Only two have been cleaned and refurbished. One of the smaller ones has been used as a normal cellar, while the larger one, which is the one they are going to, has been converted into a research institute.

"Lieutenant!" There were two soldiers guarding the door of the room, and when they saw Josie and the others approaching, they saluted immediately.

Aldo returned a salute, then took out a bunch of keys and opened the door.

With a creaking sound, the door was opened. The first thing that appeared in front of Josie and the others was a wooden structure hall, which looked like a warehouse. The light inside was very dim, and it was full of various artworks.

"These things, the mustache's army got them from the French, and that bookshelf is the catalog of everything, and it's yours now, but if you want to keep everything, I'm afraid you have to give some to my brothers It's only good, although I won this place alone, but they have done their best to guard it." Aldo said, pointing to the many artworks covered with white cloth in the hall.

"Of course!" Josie glanced at it briefly. There may be thousands of artworks here. "But I have to find someone to verify the value of these things!"

Not Josie being petty.

And don't think that something that was scavenged by Mustache's army and left here must be a good thing.

Not to mention those that were secretly hidden by soldiers and officers at the time of searching for artworks.

All the looted things will be screened layer by layer by Mustache, generals at all levels, officials at all levels, and German museums.

Basically, after the really good things are picked out, the rest will be sent to "warehouses" like Neuschwanstein Castle in various parts of Germany.

So don't look at the many works of art in front of you, but Josie can basically be sure that there won't be any peerless treasures in it, at most it will be some middle and lower level things with relatively average value.

Not to mention prosperous antiques and gold in troubled times.

In the years when the war just ended, it was not easy to sell these artworks steadily, let alone at a good price.

But Josie doesn’t dislike it either. Since the Germans seem to snatch it back, it means that it is more or less valuable. When the castle is built in the future, these items can be used as decorations to enhance the style. , It also saves him from having to go shopping for other goods at that time.

"The research institute is inside, follow me!" Aldo nodded, and then led Josie and Ophelia around piles of artworks to the innermost part of the hall.

Here, there is a relatively hidden downward staircase.

Walking down the stairs, turning a corner, what appeared in front of them was a heavy metal door.

"Because there are people guarding outside, I didn't arrange people here, and the things inside are not suitable for those soldiers to see." Aldo explained as he opened the door.

"Those soldiers don't know what's in it?" Josie asked.

"Of course, I entered the castle alone that night, and I cleaned up everyone. The soldiers of Company E only knew that there was a research institute here, but only I had the key, and they never entered!" Aldo said.

As his words fell, the heavy metal door opened with a loud bang.

A new hall appeared in front of everyone, and although it was underground, it was brightly lit inside.

It's just that it's different from the upstairs, this hall is full of various instruments and equipment, in addition, there are many laboratories in the fringe area.

But it was obvious that there had been a great battle here, and there were traces of bullet holes and blood stains everywhere.

Fortunately, the damage was not serious.

"Is there electricity here?" Looking at the bright hall, Josie asked.

"That's right, there is a power supply room inside, which uses the energy battery like the Hydra weapon, which is very durable. We have occupied this place for almost a week, and we haven't seen any failure." Aldo nodded.

"Can you see what is being studied here?" Josie asked Ophelia.

"You have to look for the experiment log to be sure!" Ophelia looked at the slightly messy furnishings of the research institute, shook her head and said, then looked at Aldo, "There should be a reference room here, right?"

"Yes, that should be, the door is unlocked!" Aldo nodded, pointing to the corner and said.

"Go!" Josie waved his hand.

Ofelia went to the reference room to look for materials without hesitation.

"Are there any other special discoveries?" Joe asked again.

"Yes, in the innermost part!" Aldo pointed to the depths of the institute.

"Go and see!" Josie said.

Aldo even took Josie and walked over to a laboratory.

Opening the laboratory, Josie saw two huge freezers.

One person is frozen in each freezer.

Josie frowned and walked over.

In the first freezer, a young Asian woman was frozen.

It's strange, why is there an Asian woman in Hydra's base?

But when he walked to the second freezer and saw the people inside, Josie's eyes widened.

Because the person inside is a good friend of the American team, Bucky Barnes.

Josie has met the US team several times in London, and met this good friend of the US team several times, so he naturally recognizes each other.

Just how did he appear here?

In the original time and space, when Zola was captured, Bucky fell off the cliff still happened?

Except for the occasional meeting, although Josie will also care about the whereabouts of the US team, but he really doesn't pay much attention to his good friend, and naturally he won't deliberately care about what happened to him to understand.

But since the other party is now appearing in this research institute, it can already explain the problem.

"You know him?" Seeing Josie's expression, Aldo couldn't help asking curiously.

Although they are all from the army, neither Aldo's old unit nor the current 101st Airborne Division can compete with the Scientific Strategy Corps and the Roaring Commando.

Although the military has always promoted the achievements of the Roaring Commandos, the focus is still on the US team. The names of other members of the Roaring Commandos are unknown. It is impossible to introduce all the Howling Commandos one by one.

In addition, the aura of the US team is too shining, everyone only cares about the US team, and few people will care about these little transparency.

So Aldo doesn't know Bucky.

"That's right, Bucky Barnes. This seems to be a nickname. His real name should be James Barnes. He is a member of the Howling Commandos and a good friend of Captain America. I didn't expect him to appear here." Josie nodded replied.

"A good friend of the US team? Then how do we deal with him?" Hearing Josie's answer, Aldo couldn't help being stunned.

"What else can I do? Find out how he fell into Hydra's hands first, and then look at his specific situation after my people take over here. If there is no problem, find a reasonable way to send him back .If the problem is more troublesome, then pretend that you have never met him." Josie thought for a while and said.

The reason why he said this is also because he doesn't know whether Bucky has been brainwashed now, and whether he has carried out the next stage of human experiments of the Winter Soldier.

If not, then it’s okay, for the sake of the US team, turn around and transfer him, and find a reasonable way to send him back after waking up—if there is no Vito, the experimental subject who also conducted the first stage of the experiment, is there. Well, Josie will definitely not let Bucky go so generously, but since he has Vito, Bucky means little to him, so it's better to be a favor.

But if it has been brainwashed or conducted the second phase of the Winter Soldier experiment.

Then Josie can only say sorry.

But as far as it looks now, the second possibility is unlikely, because the opponent's right hand is still fine.

Aldo nodded when he heard the words, and didn't say anything more. This is indeed the most appropriate way to deal with it.

Now he is completely in the same boat as Josie, although he also respects the US team, and when he clashed with Kennedy, he also received a little favor from the other party.

But he wouldn't get into trouble with Josie just because of this little favor.

Otherwise, among other things, the warehouse of Hydra weapons that he hid and handed over to Josie that time in Paris was enough for him to go to military courts ten more times.
