Chapter 311
"Good boy, I haven't seen you in two years, and I've grown a lot taller!" Inside the manor, Josie rubbed the head of Thaddeus, who was brought to visit by his parents, and said with a smile.
After attending the council meeting, Josie returned to the Chicago estate in a low-key manner.
Then the Ross family and the Norman family, who were neighbors, came to the door together after being notified.
It is now 1958, born in 1945, Thaddeus Ross, who is only one year younger than Michael and Kyroll, is almost 14 years old now, and his body is well developed. Like Michael, he is a A guy who is over 1.6 meters tall.
Don't look at Ross in the movie, it seems that he is just a small man, but that is when he is in his seventies.
When he was young, this kid was obviously a strong and handsome guy.
This year I also happen to be in the ninth grade, which is the first grade of high school in the United States. The high school in the United States is a 4-year system, that is, grades 9-12.
Elementary and middle schools have different educational systems in different states in the United States. Some have 5 years of primary school and 3 years of junior high school, and some have 6 years of primary school and two years of junior high school.
"Godfather, and me, I have grown taller too!" Norman Osborn on the side said not to be outdone.
Perhaps because the family situation has been changed by the influence of Josie, the current Norman Osborn is not as described in the Marvel official setting. He has been a cold-blooded little guy since he was a child, but he looks very special. cheerful.
"Oh, of course, our Norman is also a man!" Josie also laughed and patted the little guy's head when he heard this.
"How is it? In the past two years, you have not encountered any trouble because of my affairs, have you?" Although if the two families encounter relatively serious troubles, someone will definitely report them to Josie, but it is hard to say about small troubles .
Of course, what he said was more of a greeting opening.
"What trouble can we have? Although the United States has different attitudes towards Austria, there is one thing they agree on, that is, they can't be provoked, hahahaha!" William Ross and Amberson Osborne looked at each other With a glance, he said with a big smile.
It is true that the rise of Austria is a huge challenge to the status of the United States.
But does this have anything to do with Ross and Osborne? Did the delay make them money?
not at all.
On the contrary, because of the rise of Austria, they and others who are closely related to Josie are less willing to offend easily.
Especially if the United States wants to obtain various high-tech weapons and many other achievements in Austria, it must maintain close commercial ties with Austria.
In this way, as long as the two sides do not completely turn their backs, William and Amberson and other corresponding groups that are closely related to Josie can make a lot of money in the process, and their lives should not be too comfortable.
"That's good. After all, I will retire behind the scenes in the future, and the number and time of coming to the United States will be reduced to a certain extent. If you encounter any problems, you must notify me in time!" Josie nodded and said.
"Of course, we will!" The two nodded slightly with serious expressions on their faces.
"By the way, when I came back this time, I also brought some things for the two children!" Josie waved his hand, and Bresta not far away carried a box and put it on the table.
Because Vito is already one of Josie's important managers, so he doesn't have anything particularly important, and he won't follow Josie every day.
So now Josie has appointed a new personal assistant—with Josie's strength, there is no need for a personal bodyguard at all.
And this assistant is the only four divine warrior among all the divine warriors under him, Bresta.
Bresta opened the box, and what appeared inside were two light golden potions.
"This is?" Looking at the potion in the box, William and Amberson couldn't help but glance at each other with puzzled faces.
"This is the latest genetic drug from the Supreme Research Institute. It has very low restrictions on users. It can be used after the age of six and the immune system is basically mature. On this basis, the younger the better. After children use it, The potion will gradually improve their physique as they grow. The initial use of the potion will not be obvious, but as the child grows older, its final effect will be at least twice that of the regular super soldier potion, and there may even be Some special abilities appear, this is my gift to the two children!" Josie introduced.
Hearing Josie's words, the two of them suddenly brightened their eyes.
Because the two have already joined Ouroboros, and their status within the organization is not low, as the general-purpose super soldier potion continues to spread within the organization, the two and their wives have also become beneficiaries early on. Those who understand the meaning of this potion very well.
It’s just that the early general-purpose super-soldier medicines still have great restrictions on users, and it’s hard to bear it before the immune system is fully mature-the human body’s immunity begins to mature at the age of six, but it needs to be fully perfected, but it is difficult to withstand it. Be at least 16 years old.
This is why children before the age of six are very prone to diseases and infections.
Under normal circumstances, after the age of six, the frequency of getting sick will decrease accordingly, and after the age of 16, if there are no accidents, the probability of infection will be minimized.
So if Norman and Thaddeus want to use the previous general-purpose genetic medicine, they have to wait until they are sixteen years old and their immune systems are fully developed before they can use it.
But this latest type of potion, they can use it now.
It may not be obvious at the beginning of use, but when they become adults, they can basically become "supermen".
At that time, what Captain America, it will not matter in front of the two of them!
In the original time and space, whether it is Thaddeus or Norman, the pursuit of the two people in their lives is to strengthen the human body. Their obsession with this aspect also makes them the "villains" that everyone scolds.
Now, before the two children grow up, Josie directly helps them realize their dreams.
This godfather is not worth shouting for the boy.
Of course, Josie's own children don't need this kind of thing.
After all, no matter how powerful the genetic medicine is, it is just a mortal thing.
The mysteries of magic and divine power are what they are after.
That's right, Thaddeus and Norman are their children, but their children are not limited to these two—also because of the butterfly effect caused by Josie, Thaddeus and Norman's mothers are all The body is very healthy, and my father is also strong and energetic.
This has led to the fact that the two children are no longer the only child like Yuan Shikong.
Thaddeus had a younger brother and a younger sister, and Norman also had a younger sister.
It's just that unlike Thaddeus and Norman, Josie didn't accept these children as godsons or goddaughters.
"Don't think about it, the materials of this new type of genetic medicine are very precious. Up to now, except for those used in early human experiments, only five have been produced..." Josie said in a deep voice.
"Yes, I understand!" Hearing what Josie said to this point, William resolutely gave up all his thoughts.
William and Amberson are very clear that although their status in Ouroboros is not low because of their relationship with Josie, they are still far from being high-level in the true sense.
So when there are only five points for this potion, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to get their turn anyway.
Thaddeus and Norman were able to get it only because they were Josie's godson.
As for the production of this potion, Josie did not lie to them, because the reason why this latest type of genetic potion can be used by children is because it contains an extremely rare magic drug—from Azeroth. The black lotus of the Sri Lankan world.
How precious the Black Lotus is, anyone who has played Warcraft in the 1960s knows it.
But the game, for the sake of gameplay, so the black lotus is only a little more expensive, and you can still buy it if you want to spend money.
But in the real world, the preciousness of the black lotus is beyond imagination, and it is not like in the game. It is refreshed in those maps, but it belongs to the inaccessible high magic concentration area, which is extremely unlikely to be born. plant.
Basically, in the entire continent of Azeroth, no more than 20 mature black lotuses can be discovered by humans every year, and most of them will only be circulated among those high-level magicians—because the place where the black lotus was born, Generally, except for mages or very powerful adventurers, ordinary people can't go there at all.
Only a very small number of black lotus will flow into the market.
But it will basically be monopolized by the dignitaries and nobles of the human kingdom.
The black lotus used to make this new type of genetic medicine that children can also use was also collected or purchased with great difficulty by the privateers under Abides's command that had already spread almost all over Azeroth.
Over the years, I have only gotten 8 flowers so far.
Among them, 4 Abides are kept by themselves, and they are used to win over those high-level archmages and alchemists.
Only four flowers were traded to Josie.
Among these four flowers, one was given to Gu Yi by Josie, one was given to Yuri as a reward, and one was turned into five potions through Yuri's efforts and some help from Gu Yi... In fact, it was originally Seven, but two have been used for experiments, and the remaining one is still in Josie's system warehouse.
So such a precious potion, if these two boys were not Josie's godson, they would not be eligible to enjoy it at all!
However, William and Amberson are not dissatisfied with this point. After all, this new type of genetic medicine is not available, but when their children grow up, with their status in ouroboros, a few regular general-purpose medicines Gene medicine is still easy to get.
Seeing that the two did not say much, Josie asked Bresta to take the two children to use the potion.
The use of this medicine is also very simple. It is injected directly, then sleeps, and basically eats a big meal after waking up.
"Speaking of which, you should arrange for Ross to join the army in the future, right?" Josie looked at William and asked.
"Normally yes, but if you have other arrangements, your arrangement must come first!" William Ross said decisively. After all, Thaddeus is his eldest son, and he naturally hopes that this child will inherit his Therefore, Rose's education was also very strict since he was a child. But if Josie, the big leader, speaks, it will naturally be based on Josie.
"Of course I don't have any opinion, the key is what Ross thinks!" Josie said.
"Although this kid has complained, I can see that he is still eager for a military career, and he is also very interested in my experience with his grandfather!" Speaking of this, William Ross said very gratified.
"That's good. If that's the case, send him to West Point after he graduates from high school!" Seeing what William said, Josie nodded, "I think you should be aware of the recent actions of the White House and the Pentagon towards Annan. A large-scale local war is already inevitable, and the duration of this war is estimated to be very long, and it is time to arrange for Ross to be gilded!"
"Of course I know about Annan. I heard many old friends mention it, and the Ministry of National Defense has placed a lot of orders with us for this, but a large-scale local war that lasts for a long time will not Will it be a bit too much?" Hearing Josie's words, William couldn't help being a little confused.
He naturally hopes that his son can perform well in the war. After all, there is no faster way to get promoted in the army than to go to the battlefield.
But if the United States really wants to attack a small country like Kofi Annan, in his opinion, it will only take a few months at most.
After all, Annan's country doesn't even have a decent army. Even with Mao Xiong's support, how can it be compared with the powerful US military?
Moreover, Mao Xiong's center of gravity is now in Europe. Almost the whole world does not think that Mao Xiong will give too much support to Annan at this time!
Thaddeus is just in high school now, there is no way he can catch up!
William Rose's thoughts were basically the thoughts of most people in the United States and even the Western camp before the Annan War started.
Even the Hydra Council could not have imagined that this war might last for more than ten years.
"Hehe, don't worry, although Annan is only a small country, when it becomes the center of the vortex of confrontation between the East and the West, it is doomed that this will not be a simple armed conflict!" Josie explained with a smile.
"You mean, Mao Xiong may directly intervene?" Josie's words immediately made William react.
"Why not? Annan is far away from Mao Xiong, and it is perfect for a practical training ground with the United States!" Josie shrugged.
Although in the historical records of the previous life, there is no evidence that Mao Xiong directly participated in the war.
But actually? In addition to all kinds of material support, Mao Xiong's special forces and air force have all appeared on the Annan battlefield.
Even from the very beginning, Mao Xiong sent a large number of military advisory groups to Annan to help Annan train the army, and even directly participated in military command.
Is there a big difference between this kind of behavior and directly participating in the war except in name?
