Chapter 44 Captain America
"Who is brave and strong to save America?" (female vocals)
"Not everyone can rush to the beach!"
"But we can all cheer!"
"Who swore to fight day and night to defend the truth?" (female vocals)
"E-series defense bonds, every time you buy one, you will add an extra bullet to the soldier's gun!"
"Who goes from house to house to promote the country? Hold high the national flag and travel across the country? From east to west, across the country? With the Stars and Stripes on his body, he shoulders many responsibilities!" (female vocals)
………
Different from the last fundraising that was limited to a small range of upper-class people, this time the United Labor Organization’s bond promotion is aimed at the whole people, so naturally it cannot be in a manor house, but in the Chicago Grand Theater.
This is one of the three major theaters in the United States. It was built in 1865, and it has been more than 70 years ago. During this period, it was rebuilt once, and it can accommodate 4,000 spectators at a time.
And this time, the United Labor Organization will be in Chicago for a week.
In the theater, Josie was sitting in the VIP seat, looking at the muscular man on the stage with a stiff smile, who was surrounded by a group of singing and dancing beauties, dressed in Stars and Stripes costumes, and performed awkward musicals.
But among the people present, only Josie's smile was relatively stiff. The vast majority of people were obviously very excited, and everyone was in high spirits, applauding loudly.
"What's the matter, Josie? You don't seem to like this drama? I think it's well edited!" Margot asked while clapping her little hands excitedly.
"Um, it's nothing, it's just that I'm not used to such a lively occasion." Josie said with a dry smile.
But how could he really be able to hide Margot, the person next to him, with his attitude? Since receiving the invitation a few days ago, Josie has been a little absent-minded.
After only asking a few times, he was fooled by Josie haha.
No way, what can Josie say?
Said that he originally thought this was an ordinary parallel world, and planned to rely on the plane trader to become an urban tycoon, but now he found out that it was the Marvel Universe, so panicked to death?
I can't say it!
But when it comes to this matter, Josie is actually to blame, because she doesn't read enough newspapers.
After all, in his previous life, as an urban man in the Internet age, he didn’t have the habit of reading newspapers. After traveling to this era, he reads them every day, but mainly because he reads local newspapers in Chicago, and he will miss news about Howard Stark. , it is not surprising.
Because he also found the relevant reports on Howard Stark and Captain America afterwards.
The appearance is exactly the same as the movie version.
The size of the Stark Group is also in line with the movie version.
If it’s the comic version, if Josie remembers correctly, Stark Industries was founded by Howard’s father, and it grew stronger before World War I.
But now according to the collected information, Howard was born in a civilian area on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in 1917. His father was just a fruit stand owner, and his mother was a female factory worker in a clothing factory.
Howard Stark graduated from college in 1934 and started from scratch.
The Stark Group was only established in 1939, relying on orders from the military and the United Kingdom before it began to develop.
Although the development speed is extremely fast, it has only been four years now, but it is far from being called a giant.
In terms of industrial scale, not to mention compared with established giants like Rockefeller, even the Leibil family is far inferior.
So its popularity is very high on the east coast, and the relative popularity in the central and western regions is not so great.
Under the circumstances that this news is far less well-informed than in the Internet age, it is normal for Josie, who has only been in this world for a few months, not to pay attention to the Stark Group.
Josie was naturally terrified when she found out that this place was actually a crisis-ridden Marvel Universe, who was living a comfortable life.
What happened to the Marvel Universe? The real high-risk era is mainly the main plot of the future reunion. Going forward, although there are Hydras who make trouble, they are generally more secretive. Generally speaking, the degree of danger is not that high.
And wait until the real reunion main storyline... what age is it?
The New York War took place in 2012, nearly seventy years ago.
Thanos snapped his fingers, and that was 2018.
Whether I can live to that time, both of them said...
But he has the plug-in of the plane trader, so the possibility of not surviving that era is very low.
"Mr. Josie, go and take a photo with our Captain America. You have bought another one million bonds this time. You have to let the whole country know your contribution!" The organizer of the United Labor Organization in the distance, Senator Brant of New York State, invited Josie with a smile on his face.
It is naturally impossible for Josie to have the most bond sales this time.
But Senator Brand doesn't care, because the amount of one million is still very huge, and those who subscribed more than Josie's amount are mostly established consortiums.
So even if the subscription quota is reduced, no one will feel that Josie's sincerity is bad.
Even Senator Brand this time, is still preparing to use Josie as a model of modern American teenagers as a propaganda.
"That's what I should do, and I would be happy to take a photo with our Captain America, but when taking a photo, can you ask Mr. Captain to take off his mask and take a few more photos with me? I think it will be more commemorative. I also want a few photos for my collection." Josie echoed the senator with a smirk.
When he heard the invitation from the other party, Josie suddenly thought that if he could take a photo with the American team of this era, it would be very commemorative, because the current very popular Captain America, but in less than two years, he will have to Went to sleep under the Arctic Ocean.
"Oh, of course, this is a very reasonable request!" The senator was a little surprised by Josie's request, but it was not a big deal.
The US team initially wore a mask to participate in the performance, in fact, it was to protect his identity as a super soldier and prevent the Germans from targeting, and later it became the symbol of the US team.
If it is an ordinary person who wants to take a photo with Captain America without a mask, it is naturally impossible for the senator to agree.
But for Josie, who is a benchmark for anti-French XX youths, he is also a big sponsor.
The senator will naturally not refuse this small request.
So Josie easily stood with Captain America who was not wearing a mask.
"Hello, Captain, I found out when I got closer that you are taller than I imagined. I wish I had a body like yours." Josie said, looking at the US team in front of him with a smile.
"Mr. Kahn, you are still young, and you will definitely be taller than me in the future!" Steve Rogers looked at Josie in front of him and listened to his praise, he couldn't help sighing from the bottom of his heart.
After all, just a month ago, he was still a small man of about 1.6 meters. Josie, who was only 16 years old and already 1.8 meters in front of him, was his envy.
And even after becoming a super soldier now, he is only 1.88 meters, which doesn't look much taller than Josie.
The only difference is that Josie's figure is a bit thinner.
No way, Josie actually exercises, but muscles are not something that can be trained so quickly.
"I thought you didn't like Captain America, but seeing how you took pictures with him, you're still very happy." After the photo was taken, Margot approached Josie and said with a smile.
"Margot, do you believe it? He will become a real hero admired by the world." Josie did not directly respond to Margot's words, but said something that made her feel a little inexplicable.
But at this moment, an extremely tall figure suddenly squeezed through the crowd and got close to Josie.
"Dix? Why are you here?" Josie was a little surprised when he saw the big man suddenly appearing.
"Boss, something went wrong. Our shipment was robbed!" Dix whispered in Josie's ear.
Josie, who was quite happy at first, immediately turned down when he heard the news.
"Margot, let me send you back first, something happened in the company." Josie said to Margot beside her.
Margot also knew that something must have happened, but she didn't ask any more questions, but nodded very obediently, and followed Josie out of the theater.
On the stage, Steve Rogers, who was taking a photo with other people, looked at Josie leaving thoughtfully. Obviously, he saw the situation on Josie's side just now.
