  Chapter 95 Hometown

  After several days of inquiring from various sources, although there is still no real evidence... After all, there were not even any witnesses at the time.

  But according to Josie's judgment, there is a high probability that the US team was really teleported away by the Rubik's Cube.

   As for where it was sent to, it is impossible to judge.

  Although in the original plot, the Red Skull was sent to the planet Vormir to act as a guide for another Infinity Gem—the Soul Gem, but in Josie’s mind, this Infinity Gem should not need two guides.

  So even if the two were teleported away together, the possibility of appearing on Vormir together is very low.

   As for the fact that the American team was teleported away, Josie's personal attitude is one of regret and joy.

  It's a pity that although I and the US team are not good friends, they are more or less acquaintances.

   Fortunately, it is very simple. Although he has not been recognized by the Council of Nine, he has actually become the head of a Hydra branch and has become the hidden enemy of the US team.

  Although it is not enough to be afraid of the other party, it still feels a little uncomfortable to suddenly become a deadly enemy from a familiar person.

   This is fine for now.

  After a little feeling, Josie stopped paying too much attention to this matter.

  As for the Rubik's Cube... When I really occupy the Council of Nine, nothing will matter.

  The next day, in the valley west of Innsbruck, a city in western Austria, a luxury convoy drove slowly into a small town called Obsteiger located here.

  People in the small town looked at the convoy curiously.

Because this small town is located in a remote place, the war hardly disturbs the place, and there are very few troops or big figures coming here, so seeing a luxury convoy suddenly appearing here, it is natural to feel very strangeness.

  Although it is only a small town, because Austria was once the most elite part of the world-class power - the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the roads here are also well built, and the convoy can easily shuttle through the town.

  After seven turns and eight turns, the convoy finally arrived in front of a small building with a yard on the northern edge of the town.

  The arrival of the convoy caught the attention of a big dog in the yard, and immediately barked twice as a warning.

  As the convoy stopped, Josie, who was wearing a coat, got out of one of the cars, and Ophelia in classical attire got out of the car behind him.

  Josie, who just got out of the car, saw the big dog in the yard at a glance, and his eyes lit up. This is a very strong Alpine elf-Swiss national dog, St. Bernard.

  Because it is famous for guarding travelers passing through the Alps, it is not only in Switzerland, but also in the countries and regions around the Alps, this large dog is very popular.

  Because it is a very docile dog breed, facing Josie and his group of uninvited guests, except for barking a few times as a warning, and staring at them vigilantly, there was no attack.

   "Is this your childhood home? It looks like it has a new owner!" Ophelia asked Josie after looking up and down the small building, not paying attention to the St. Bernard's barking.

   "It's normal. My father sold this place before leaving. As for who it was sold to, I don't know exactly." Josie replied.

  That's right, this small town, this small building is the hometown of Josie's body.

   And about 20 kilometers north of this small town is the Bavarian town of Schwangau.

   There, there are two castles facing each other across the mountain.

   are the old and new Swan Castles where the famous Bavarian King Ludwig II once lived.

  This is why before coming to Europe, Josie would suddenly have a desire for Neuschwanstein Castle.

  Because when this body lived here when I was a child, I often rode horses to hunt in the mountains and forests on the border under the leadership of my father, and watched the two beautiful castles by the way.

And now, Josie is here to take over these two castles... The ownership of these two castles was originally in the hands of the Bavarian state government, but in the late World War II, Bavaria was first annexed by the Hydra Legion, and now it is Occupied by Austria, so its ownership naturally fell into the hands of Austria.

   During the time Josie was in Austria, after using a series of means, he got the ownership of these two castles with almost no money.

  But don't think that Josie really took advantage of it.

   It’s okay to say that Hohenschwangau Castle is a completed building, and it can be lived in with a little repair.

   And Neuschwanstein Castle...is still an unfinished building.

  At the end of the 19th century, the Bavarian king spent a full 6.2 million marks to build Neuschwanstein Castle.

  That was the silver mark during the period of Frederick III (the mark at that time was divided into gold and silver), not the mark that has almost become waste paper now.

  In Germany, the mark is not only a monetary unit, but also a quality unit.

  Prussian 1 mark is equivalent to 223 grams.

   That is to say, 1 mark = 223 grams of silver, which is more than four taels. According to the taels of the Qing Dynasty, it is six taels.

  Then 6.2 million marks is 37.2 million taels of silver.

  How much did the old witch Cixi next door spend to build the Summer Palace? More than ten million taels of silver!

   In other words, Ludwig II, the king of Bavaria, was more extravagant than Empress Dowager Cixi.

   Because of this, he was deposed by the royal family on the grounds of insanity, and died mysteriously a few days later.

   When he died, because of his extravagance, not only did the treasury of the entire Bavarian royal family run out, but he also left a deficit of 15 million marks.

   It is no wonder that until the 1960s, the Bavarians mentioned that the king still called him a lunatic and called him mentally ill, and regarded the construction of Neuschwanstein Castle as stupid.

  However, what happened to Ludwig had nothing to do with Josie. What did matter was that when Ludwig died, the **** Neuschwanstein Castle hadn't been finished yet, only the external body had been completed.

   There are 360 ​​rooms in the entire Neuschwanstein Castle, but only 14 rooms are actually completed.

  Original time and space It was not until the 1990s that the Bavarian state government began to gradually repair and improve it, but at that time Neuschwanstein Castle brought tens of millions of marks or euros to Bavaria every year.

   And Josie wants to finish the repair of Neuschwanstein Castle. Under normal circumstances, it will not be so easy without spending eighteen million dollars.

   Fortunately, I just got tens of thousands of free labor from General McGinnis before, so it will come in handy now?

  Thanks to the excellent basic education in the German region, there are many talents who understand engineering, and the worst can be a coolie, right?

   For these prisoners of war, Josie only needs to provide for food and clothing, which immediately reduces the labor cost to a minimum.

  However, these people are still being screened and trimmed in the prisoner-of-war camp, and it will take a while before they will be sent here.

  So Josie was not in a hurry to take over the castle immediately, but first came to Obsterg, the "hometown" to have a look.

   While Josie was talking with Ophelia, the current owner of the small building was startled by the movement of the motorcade and the barking dogs, and walked out of the house.

   There is another chapter, it is estimated that it will be almost morning, you can read it tomorrow without waiting
