Rise of an Empire

Chapter 2 This world is a bit strange

At the intersection of East Street and First Avenue in Manhattan Island is the world-famous United Nations Headquarters. This building was just renovated eight years ago and is reflecting layers of light in the rising sun.

After a depressing breakfast, the new Duke Conrad slowly walked to the front gate of his courtyard.

It is said that the chef hired from France with a lot of money is really good at his craftsmanship, and there is a gorgeous beauty like Gudrun waiting at the table. This breakfast should make people enjoy themselves.

But it was a pity that Thrawn, the old butler who exuded a cold aura standing next to him, really made people lose their appetite for food.

Thrawn is a pure Germanic soldier. It is said that he participated in World War II, but because he was shot in the head on the battlefield, he had to retire early and returned to the Meiningen family as his hereditary butler.

As for why he still survived after being shot in the head, just look at half of his face.

Although Thrawn is only about forty years old in terms of age, he is not very old, but his twisted face is really intimidating.

Have you ever seen that half of the face is normal and the other half is a mechanically synthesized face?

The left side of Thrawn's face was blown away during the war. It's really awe-inspiring that he didn't die from such an injury.

It's just that although Conrad knew in his heart that the old butler didn't have any ill intentions towards him, but having such a mechanical weirdo next to you while eating really makes people feel a little bit confused about what to eat.

It seems that I have to find a way to stop Thrawn from appearing next to me while eating.

"Your Majesty the Duke" Conrad slowly walked to the door of the courtyard, turned his head and looked at the rising sun and the gleaming United Ministry headquarters under the rising sun. He had just been caused by Thrawn's terrifying appearance. The little emotion suddenly disappeared.

You must know that this is the East Bank of Manhattan, where every inch of land is precious for future generations, and he actually owns a manor here covering an area of ​​one acre, or more than 4,000 square meters. This real estate alone is enough for him to have food and drink for the rest of his life. .

"Ito, let's drive." When he saw the Japanese bowing to him, Li Qingyuan remembered that this was his driver, the Japanese Ito Ichijo.

Although he has completely integrated all the memories belonging to Conard, one person's memory is so huge that the memory hidden in his mind will only pop up when he encounters related matters.

Although the name Ito Ichijo is full of complaints, but considering that it is still 1960, no one probably knows about Makoto, so he can only silently complain in his heart.

Originally, as the contemporary Duke of Meiningen, he should have learned the so-called aristocratic etiquette at home, but it is a pity that he is not in Germany now, but in the United States, the lighthouse of the world.

As the saying goes, do as the Romans do. Although we are very reluctant, our miserable Duke of Meiningen can only go to the so-called high school.

After all, according to American law, it is illegal for minors not to study.

Of course, the school he attended couldn't be an ordinary public middle school, but the most exclusive private academy in New York, Boulevard High School.

As usual, the driver, Makoto Ito, no, Ichijo Ito opened the door and asked him to get in, then jogged up to the driver's seat, started the ignition, and drove the Mercedes-Benz 300 directly on the road.

Ito Ichijo turned on the car recorder as usual, and an exaggerated female voice suddenly sounded in the car.

Televisions in this era were still very rare. Besides, although he had two newly invented color TVs at home, there were not that many TV programs at all. Today’s TV stations are still an emerging industry. People usually mainly focus on For entertainment, watch movies or listen to the radio.

In this day and age, good announcers are big stars that millions of people admire along with movie stars.

"Today, I will continue to tell you the story of Captain America."

Conrad, who was sitting behind the car and looking around at the scenery, suddenly trembled, and a strange memory suddenly came to his mind.

This is 1960, but it is not the history he is familiar with, but a strange world.

In this world, the most popular person in World War II was the commando team led by Captain America. Turn left one kilometer from his home and you will find the Stark Industrial Park under construction.

It seems that I have traveled to a strange world.

As a film and television lover, I am naturally familiar with the famous Captain America and Howard Stark.

It's just a pity that I traveled through time too early.

If calculated according to the time in the movie, by the time of Women's Federation 1, I would probably be over sixty years old.

He was thinking wildly all the way until Ito Ichijo reminded him to get out of the car, and Conrad finally woke up from his memories.

"Hi, Conrad, how are you doing at home during the holidays?" As soon as he walked into the school gate, a young man with crimson hair walked directly in front of him and asked with a smile.

"It's okay," Conrad replied casually, and at the same time, the memory of the other party suddenly appeared in his mind.

Norman Osborne, his good friend and the only son of the chairman of the Osborne Group

Although the Stark Group founded by Howard Stark has now become the largest supplier of weapons and ammunition in the United States, the Osborne Group still occupies a place in the arms industry with the power accumulated over the years, and it can definitely be regarded as the largest supplier of weapons and ammunition in the United States. Even the top five weapons manufacturing companies in the world.

Of course, Boulevard High School is the best aristocratic college in New York. Naturally, those who can study here are either rich or noble. Anyone with a slightly lower net worth will not be able to get in at all.

"You came late today and didn't see it. Just now, there was a big beauty in front of the school." Norman Osborne said with joy.

There are almost no female students in Boulevard Middle School, because this is a high-ranking aristocratic college, and the annual tuition is as high as 17,000 US dollars. In this era, women are still regarded as men's vassals, so even those big chaebols will not spend such a high price. At the cost of sending his daughter to this kind of school.

You must know that the US dollar is still the representative of the gold standard, and the price of a central apartment in Manhattan has just exceeded 10,000 US dollars. In this era, those who can calculate their annual salary in thousands are basically considered to be the elite.

What's more, for those chaebols, if they have so much money, they might as well let their daughters learn etiquette or management.

Therefore, it can be said that except for a few gray-haired female professors, the school where Conrad is currently at has almost no female students of the right age. It is no wonder that Norman Osborne has an envious expression.

For adolescent boys, there is nothing more attractive than beautiful girls.
