Chapter 51: The Second Interdimensional Beacon

"Mr. Josh, your order for the powerful oil removal service that you previously requested has been completed. I wish you a happy life!" Half an hour later, in a villa located less than a hundred kilometers away from Miami in West Palm Beach, Josh listened to the voice from the phone and showed a satisfied smile.

After hanging up the phone, Josh happily opened a bottle of champagne for himself, poured two glasses, and headed to the backyard.

In the outdoor swimming pool in the backyard, a mermaid was swimming elegantly and freely.

"What happened? You look so happy?" Margaret slowly swam to the shore, revealing half of her body from the water, and curiously asked Josh, who was holding two glasses of wine.

Although the United States had already enacted laws prohibiting the sale of alcohol to minors when it repealed the prohibition law in 1933, it did not ban minors from drinking alcohol.

Therefore, in this era, it was still very common for minors to drink alcohol.

But Margaret knew that Josh did not like to drink alcohol. He would only occasionally drink champagne or red wine on some important occasions and would never ask for alcohol on his own.

He actually took the initiative to open the champagne, obviously encountering something happy.

"Not much; I just completed an investment. Although there won't be any return in the short term, I threw a lot of money in, but the future looks promising!" Josh smiled, handed one of the champagne glasses to the beautiful woman, lightly clinking his glass, and said.

How could there be no fine wine and beautiful women by your side when encountering happy events?

"So that means you should be free now, right?" Margaret, who was very clever, did not ask about the investment and said it after accompanying Josh in drinking the wine.

"Yes, why?" Josh nodded.

"Then come down!" Margaret gave a sly smile, grabbed Josh, and pulled him into the water. Then she immediately swam away, treading water not far away, watching Josh struggling and laughing heartily.

"Very well, woman, you have successfully attracted my attention. Are you ready to face the impending revenge?" Josh emerged from the pool and pretended to look deeply at Margaret nearby.

"Revenge? Can you catch up with me, little sir?" Margaret pretended to be disdainful.

My goodness, could any man tolerate such words?

"Don't run; let me catch you and show you how small I am!" Josh, "furious," quickly swam towards Margaret.

Soon, screams and pleas for mercy came from the courtyard, which then turned into melodious singing.

Compared to the cold Chicago, the warm climate of Florida made Josh and Margaret never want to leave.

So the two of them simply decided to stay in Palm Beach for a long time and bought a piece of land to build their own holiday mansion... the previous villa was only rented.

In the future, they could come here for vacation during the autumn and winter seasons.

This was a kind of enjoyment and a very cost-effective investment.

After all, Palm Beach was the gathering place of billionaires in this era.

The land prices in Palm Beach during this period were not low, but they could not be considered expensive either. Building a mansion would not cause too much financial pressure for Josh and Margaret.

Moreover, with the elimination of the Jewish gangsters, Josh's tobacco business instantly became unimpeded, and a huge amount of money was coming in every day.

However, because tobacco's main production and sales points were in the major northern cities, and a base had been successfully established in New York, Josh could only occasionally transform into a flying man and travel between Chicago, New York, and Miami to replenish goods and collect money. The reason why he did not build factories in the South was simple. Although he could sell the tobacco, the profits would be much lower because many tobacco-producing states were nearby. Countries like Cuba and other Central American countries nearby also produced tobacco, which was difficult to sell at high prices.

Therefore, Josh had to fulfill the 'flag' he set before and spent nearly $30,000 buying a modified DC-3 as his private plane to facilitate his travel.

And the influence of the Blackwater Gang, under the management of Dix and Lyndon Schneider, also rapidly spread as their private cigarette and sugar businesses grew. In addition, because of the gang's strong power but non-territorial style, they were highly welcomed by various Irish gangs throughout the country, mainly because the Blackwater Gang left enough profits in the private cigarette and sugar trade for these gangs.

It was precisely by relying on the profits from these two lucrative businesses that Dix successfully accumulated a large network of contacts and reputation among Irish gangs throughout the United States, with the potential to become the leader of all Irish gangs in the country.

Seeing the Irish gangs that had been suppressed by them gradually starting to challenge them, the Italian Mafia naturally felt a huge threat.

Moreover, the private cigarette market that originally belonged to the Jewish gang was massively occupied, making them realize that perhaps their attacks on the Jews were not due to espionage but due to this mysterious Blackwater Gang.

But after several conflicts, they found that they had no advantage against the resurgent Irish gangs and the Blackwater Gang as their behind-the-scenes manipulator.

Because in terms of being bold and ruthless, the Irish were not weaker than the Italians; they just lacked a leadership figure and enough organizational capacity in the past.

But now, Dix has become that leader figure, with German and Austrian ethnic groups, who are slightly weaker in intelligence but more organized than the Jews, serving as middle-level personnel. It is difficult for Italians to take advantage of the Irish.

Even if the boss and high-level members of an Irish gang in any area were killed, the Blackwater Gang would quickly support a new group of bosses and high-level members among the remaining small fries and quickly restore their strength.

Therefore, if one wants to suppress the Irish gangs' momentum again, the only way is to take down the mysterious Blackwater Gang.

But the problem is that the Blackwater Gang does not occupy any territory, and Lyndon Schneider's cigarette factory is also semi-mobile to avoid the police. The Italians cannot even touch the edge of the Blackwater Gang's industry.

As for the issue of the source of goods, Josh provides Blackwater Gang with addresses that are not fixed.

Who let him have a system warehouse? Whenever there is a need for supplies, they rent a warehouse anytime, anywhere, and notify Dix to pick up the goods. Before this, even the members of the Blackwater Gang themselves did not know where to pick up the goods, so how could the Italians find them?

As for directly targeting Dix, the leader of the Blackwater Gang, the Mafia has also tried.

But the results of the military training that Josh made Blackwater Gang members undergo are showing at this time.

The several assassination attempts by the Mafia against Dix were avoided by Dix without any risk.

What followed was a crazy retaliation against the Italian industry.

Several Mafia families were completely wiped out, and their industries also suffered devastating blows.

The most notable thing is that all the Italian Mafia in Chicago were completely expelled, and their territory was divided up by other local Irish gangs.

Chicago returned to the era of the Irish gangs 20 years ago!

After witnessing several terrifying retaliations, the Italians also became afraid.

They tried to deal with the Blackwater Gang through official channels instead.

But they failed again this time.

As immigrants who entered the United States relatively late, the number of Italians in the upper-middle class in the United States is very small. In the past, they relied on the Jews for this kind of relationship.

However, in this aspect, the number of Irish and German ethnic groups is much larger than that of Italians and Jews.

President Roosevelt is of Irish descent, and military figures such as Eisenhower and Nimitz are all of German descent.

In the past, Irish gangs couldn't handle the Italians and Jews alone, so upper-level ethnic groups of the same ethnic group could only turn a blind eye.

But now that the Irish gangs have risen and are very obedient when it comes to paying tribute, which side will these politicians stand on?

At this point, the attacks on Meyer Lansky and many high-level members of the Jewish gang are actually very clear, and it was done by the Blackwater Gang.

However, law enforcement agencies led by the FBI did not take any action against the Blackwater Gang.

One reason is that the Blackwater Gang has gained momentum and knows the rules.

Another reason is that the Blackwater Gang's hands are clean, and the FBI cannot find any effective evidence.

As a result, the Italian Mafia and Jewish gangs, who were supposed to enter the most glorious period of their time in this era, were inexplicably suppressed.

And in this situation, time quickly moved from 1943 to 1944.

And the second plane beacon of the interdimensional trading system that Josh had been looking forward to for a year finally arrived.


Chapter 52: Yuri!

On a night in February 1944, Josh sat alone in the study of his Chicago residence, waiting quietly.

Today was the day when the dimensional beacon would refresh, and for this reason, he deliberately scheduled the day to supply goods to the Blackwater Gang on this day and return to Chicago.

The purpose was to avoid any interference.

As time passed by a second, the countdown on the system finally reached zero.

"Deploy the beacon immediately!" Seeing the new dimensional beacon refresh, Josh couldn't wait to give the order.

"The dimensional beacon has been deployed and is searching for a matching user..." As Josh gave the command, the dimensional beacon began to deploy.

In Josh's expectant gaze, more than three minutes passed before the system screen displayed a matching completed reminder.

As the screen changed, a view of a cave appeared on the screen.

Wait...a cave? Josh's heart couldn't help but sink slightly.

Because, in his view, the environment in which the host of the dimensional beacon lived could reveal some information about the trading partner.

Just like Daenerys, who was matched for the first time, she was in a distressed state and living in a tent with the Dothraki.

Fortunately, Daenerys herself was extraordinary and soon got out of trouble.

But at that time, Daenerys at least had a tent, and now...a cave?

And when the other party really appeared, Josh's heart became even colder.

Because the other party was a bald wild man wearing various unknown fur pieces sewn together...did he really match with someone from that primitive tribe?

"Huh? What is this thing? A dimensional trading system? Interesting, interesting, it can actually allow people from different universes to contact and trade; it's really interesting. I don't know what level of civilization can invent such a powerful thing, it's really amazing." Just as Josh was lamenting his bad luck, the other party spoke.

And this opening remark also made Josh stunned.

When the dimensional beacon matches a host, it will give the host some basic information.

But this kind of information only lets people know the function of the trading device, which is the kind of information that knows the reason but not the cause and does not impart knowledge to the matcher.

And now, the other party has directly mentioned conceptual terms such as universe and civilization, which obviously cannot be said by a primitive man, even with the help of the system's simultaneous translation.

Based on these two terms, the other party cannot be a primitive man.

Could it be that, like Daenerys, he became what he is now for some reason?

"Hello, I am Josh Kane, a dimensional merchant. May I ask how to address you, sir?" Josh couldn't help but ask tentatively.

"Hello, Mr. Kane, I am Yuri Yod Vav Resh. You can call me Yuri. As for my identity, well, a scientist? Politician? Military man? Hahaha, forget it; I'm just a victim now." Yuri smiled and shook his head.

"Yod Vav Resh Yuri? Yuri?"

Josh didn't take it seriously at first, but when he saw the other person's bald head, her mind suddenly lit up. Could it be that Yuri? It's just that the other person's appearance...

"Judging from your expression, you seem to know me?" The other person saw Josh's expression change and immediately guessed his thoughts.

"Are you Yuri? The former Minister of War of Russia who later established Yuri's country?" Josh didn't conceal anything and asked his guess with some disbelief.

"Huh? Do you really know me? Could it be that you and I are from the same world? Or is there a counterpart like me in your world?" Hearing Josh's question, Yuri was also surprised.

"No, no, although our worlds have many similarities, my world does not have your existence. Moreover, the timeline of my world should be much earlier than yours. It is only 1944 now. But I have met another chosen one from a world like yours before. He was from The Empire of the Rising Sun, and I learned about you from him. Unfortunately, that guy had bad luck and died before he could make a deal with me." Josh's brain was quickly turning, and then he found a reason and directly shifted the blame to the Red Alert world's Rooster.

He was really excited now.

This is Yuri, Yuri! The one in Red Alert who can be compared with Einstein, no, even more awesome than Einstein!

"The Empire of the Rising Sun? You really have bad luck. That small country can only survive between the Allies and the Russia. Even if the other party survives, they probably won't be able to offer anything good to trade with you." Yuri shook his head disdainfully when he heard the name Empire of the Rising Sun.

In his era, the Empire of the Rising Sun was completely a colony of the Allies and a front line between the Allies and the Russia.

"Mr. Yuri said it well, but... Mr. Yuri, your current situation... seems not very good?" Josh asked tentatively.

In fact, he had some guesses about Yuri's current situation.

Because in the revenge plot of Yuri in Red Alert 2, there were three endings.

The first ending was that Yuri was left with only a brain and placed in the Kremlin's basement.

The second ending was that he was imprisoned in Einstein's psychic handcuffs.

The third ending was obviously the closest to Yuri's current situation, which was sent to the Cretaceous period by the time machine, and his fate was unknown.

"Cough cough, did that Empire of the Rising Sun guy not tell you my result?" Yuri asked, but he was also smart enough to guess that regardless of whether it was the Russia or the Allies, they would choose to keep his fate a secret; after all, the time machine was also the highest level of secrecy.

"Well, yes, he only said that you went missing, and the official did not release any specific information." Josh pretended not to know.

"Well, my situation is really bad now because I am alone and far away from civilization. The era I am in now is the Cretaceous period, but I think this may be good news for you!" Yuri touched his chin and said.

"Oh? Why?" Josh asked with great curiosity.

"Do you know what this is?" Yuri took out a silver-white metal.

"Uh...what is this?" Josh expressed regret that he didn't know.

"This is iridium! The metal iridium!" Yuri sighed and said, "You don't even know what iridium is, do you?"
