Chapter 77 News from the front line
"Ms. Carter, do you mind if I ask, what did Whitney steal? After all, she is also my employee. If she did violate the military law, she is naturally at your disposal, but if she is wronged If so, I need to be responsible for her too!" After answering a series of questions from Peggy Carter, Josie asked rhetorically.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Kahn, I'm sorry I can't say too much about the details... As for Ms. Whitney, we just need her to cooperate with the investigation. If we can confirm that she is not suspected, we will naturally let her go. She left." Perhaps because of Josie's acquaintance with the US team, Peggy Carter still revealed some information about Whitney even though she was tight-lipped.
The implication is that Whitney is now only under great suspicion and has not been convicted.
"Hahahaha, what's the point of keeping it a secret, Josie, can you believe it? They said that the female star under you is going to steal the night light!" At this moment, a hearty voice came from the door, It was General McInnis who arrived.
"General, the matter of the night light is a top secret of the Strategic Science Corps. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to make it public like this!" Hearing what McGinnis said, the stubborn Carter couldn't help questioning.
"Hmph, to me, what kind of **** secret is that? Besides, Josie is not an outsider to our War Department!" General McInnis said disdainfully, "Don't think that only that **** can make those little inventions, I'm not afraid to tell you that under the leadership of Mr. Kahn, our army has developed a new type of medicine that has full practical significance, and as for your night lights, a dog would shake his head when he saw it!"
Hearing what McGinnis said, Carter's face was not very good-looking, but more of a surprise, surprised at the Josie-led research potion that McGinnis said.
"General, Mr. Kahn, may I know more about this potion?" Carter couldn't help asking.
"Huh! What? Do you suspect that we copied the night light? You can't know this, go back and ask your chief!" McGinnis reprimanded unceremoniously.
McGinnis's attitude made Carter very embarrassed, but she is a general, and she is also an American general. What can she do as a temporary worker from the British military?
"General, ma'am, I think we should be more gentle!" Seeing Carter's embarrassment, Josie smoothed things over in a timely manner. After all, he and Captain America are nodding acquaintances, so he won't watch Carter fail to come to power.
"Haha, you're right, well, Mr. Kahn and I have something to talk about, Ms. Carter, if you have nothing else, why don't you give us a little private space?" Apparently General McGinnis' current mood Very good, I didn't feel any displeasure at Josie's interruption, but lowered my voice politely, but the meaning of seeing off guests in the words did not decrease at all, but at least it would not make Carter unable to step down.
"Mr. Kahn, thank you for your cooperation, we will not bother you first!" Seeing that McGinnis's attitude was no longer so bad, Carter also put away his emotions, forced a smile and said goodbye to Josie.
Josie nodded and didn't say much.
"What? Did you fall in love with this woman? It's not surprising. Although it's tightly wrapped, I can still see that my figure is exploding. If I were younger, I would definitely be tempted!" Looking at Carter's swaying back, McGinn General Nice patted Josie on the shoulder and smiled narrowly.
"General, you are overthinking. I just have a good relationship with Captain Rogers." Josie twitched her lips.
"Steve Rogers? With this woman?" McInnis was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked in surprise.
Although he had contact with the Strategic Science Corps before, the matter of the US team and Carter itself is relatively secretive, and outsiders don't know much about it.
"So that's the case. It seems that the attitude towards her should be gentler." McGinnis nodded. Although the US team has always been only the rank of captain, as it led the Roaring Commando to victory in Europe, other The importance has been raised to a strategic position, which is much higher than that of the dismissed short general.
"Want something to drink?" Josie asked.
"Whisky, do you have any?" McGinnis was not polite. He knew that Shen, his partner, had great powers... If there is no accident, he will be able to return to his post after Normandy, so the relationship between him and Josie It is impossible for the relationship to become an employment relationship in the short term, but because of the pharmaceutical matter, he still regards Josie as an important partner.
Even whether he can go one step further before the end of the war, I am afraid it will all have to fall on Josie.
"Of course!" Josie went to the wine cabinet aside, took out a bottle of unwrapped whiskey, poured a glass and handed it to McInnis, then asked, "What's the specific situation?"
"Tsk, good wine, where is it produced?" McGinnis took a deep breath, smacking his lips to recollect the taste.
"Hehe, it's just private brewing. It's just that the ingredients are special. If you like it, you can take two bottles with you when you go home. Anyway, you know, I don't drink much." Josie smiled slightly. The technology he provided was brewed with top-quality barley and mountain spring water from over there, and the quantity was not too much.
Josie doesn’t know much about wine, but those who have tasted it, especially Dix, who was born in Kentucky, all said that the quality is very high, and now McGinnis says the same.
"Then I'm not going to be polite. In fact, today's matter is very simple. In fact, the two night light potions in Stark's laboratory were replaced by someone. When they were discovered, your subordinate The actress happened to be in his bedroom, and she was the one who had the most contact with Stark recently, so she naturally became the first suspect. In fact, they have no actual evidence at all. As for you, I will give that The supervisor here, Colonel Phillips, sent two samples, and there is no further information there. Your potion is much better than the garbage made by Stark. If they want to bite you, they have to ask General Eisenhower first. !" McGinnis drank the wine in the glass, and said proudly, "It's just a pity, the boy Stark's face that can't be seen must be very exciting!"
"General Eisenhower also knows about this? Is it the front line?" Josie became interested when he heard this.
"That's right, the use of new combat agents naturally requires the general's permission, but don't worry, although the official landing has just begun, the airborne troops that set off in the early morning have sent back news that the 506th regiment that used the agent The 2nd Battalion has achieved an impressive record far surpassing the rest of the troops, and now it depends on the performance of the 8th Infantry Regiment under Ross." General McGinnis said happily.
At the beginning, Josie tried out the bright lamp medicine for the military. It was not too much, but it was not too little. There were more than 2,000 pieces, just enough for two regiments.
So General McGinnis also used all his connections to promote this matter.
Finally, Colonel Ross, who belonged to the 8th Regiment of the 4th Infantry Division, and the 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division were qualified to use these medicines.
But...the 506 regiment? Isn't that the unit E Company is in?
Quite a coincidence.
But it's not surprising, whether it's the 4th Infantry Division or the 101st Airborne Division, they are the most elite units in the Army, and they are the main strikers.
A good horse with a good saddle, it is normal for these two troops to have good things to use first.
