Chapter 117: The New York Umbrella
Coming out of the SSR, Gauss returned to the Empire State Building alone.
Carter didn't follow, and Lieutenant General Taylor kept her, wanting to learn something from her.
In the lobby on the first floor of the Empire State Building, Gauss saw Howard at a glance.
When Howard saw Gauss coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Gao, how were the talks?"
Gauss told the story and speculated: "If this matter is not delayed for a year or two, it will not be possible to talk about it at all......"
Howard was so disappointed that it took a long time to recover and inform Gauss of a message.
Gauss just said yesterday that he wanted to set up an umbrella in New York, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, he would help find a good place.
It's just that it's not in Manhattan, it's in Brooklyn.
They made an appointment to meet the next day and go to Brooklyn together, and then Howard left the Empire State Building in a sullen mood.
Early the next morning, Carter arrived at the Empire State Building first.
She relayed Taylor's opinion that it would probably take a year or two for the Allies to reach a consensus on whether to cooperate with Gauss or not.
Just as they were having breakfast, Howard arrived.
Gauss and Carter then got into Howard's car and went to Brooklyn together.
When he arrived at the place, Gauss was immediately embarrassed when he saw the building in front of him.
He never expected that Howard would help him find an eleven-story commercial building.
Whether he can take advantage of it or not, that's another matter, and the key is that he definitely doesn't have enough cash.
Of course, this building is still good, decades old, with a simple and atmospheric style, which is very suitable for Gauss's eyes.
Seeing that Gauss was hesitant, Howard asked him, "Not satisfied?"
Gauss decided to abandon the eleven-story building and find another corporate base to serve as an umbrella for New York, but just as he was about to express his opinion, a strange energy fluctuation came from a mile to the west.
This kind of energy fluctuation was all too familiar to him, and it was clearly a fluctuation generated by the enchantment.
Gauss was amazed, who would set up a magical barrier in Brooklyn?
He immediately unleashed his mental power and probed to the west.
Soon, a magnificent building dozens of stories high appeared in Gauss's induction.
This magnificent building is clearly the source of the fluctuations.
Gauss concentrated his mental strength, surrounded the building, and for a moment, he suddenly came back to his senses.
This must be the Holy Land of New York, one of the three holy places for mages!
Discovering that the New York Holy Land was nearby, Gauss immediately changed his mind.
He asked Howard, "How much will it cost to buy this eleven-story building?"
Howard was taken aback, and after a little calculation, he roughly reported the number.
Sure enough, all Gauss's cash added up to a lot of money that was not far from that number.
At this time, Howard couldn't help but say, "Gao, don't you want to rent, but want to buy this building?"
"Rent?" Gauss was stunned, it turned out that he would be mistaken, "It's better to buy it, I'm not used to renting other people's places......"
It doesn't hurt to be wrong, he thinks it's better to buy than to rent before crossing over the property, but after crossing over, he thinks it's better to buy it than to rent, not to mention that this building is not far from the New York Mage Holy Land, and it must be bought.
The idea must have been, so Gauss asked Howard to help deal with the matter, and at the same time, he also asked Carter to help solve the identity problem of the personnel of the New York Umbrella Company. After the New York umbrella is established, it will definitely have to be transferred from Hamburg, and the people who are transferred have no American status, and if they are targeted by the police or the CIA, it will be a joke.
Carter knew that this company was the liaison between Gauss and the SSR, and of course he agreed.
Thinking that nothing had happened for the time being, Gauss decided to leave New York and return in a few days.
He explained the situation to the two of them, and then in Howard's car, he directly started the teleportation.
Seeing Gauss disappear suddenly, Howard said with a yearning expression: "Magic is really magical. ”
Carter smiled mysteriously at this time: "There are even more amazing things......
Next, she talked to Howard about what she had seen in Antarctica.
At this time, Gauss also returned to Bai Yujing.
He stayed in Bai Yujing for two days, not only created a batch of Azeroth-style enchanted jewels, as well as a powerful intelligent defense system, but also took advantage of the night to the United Kingdom, Australia and other places to "move" enough money to buy a house in New York.
Two days later, Gauss showed up in Hamburg.
After consulting with Nils, he decided to find someone from the Sailor's House to go to New York.
There's no way, Ambrera can't send anyone here.
Buryatia's identity is useful, she can't go to New York, if she doesn't go, it is not suitable to let Frank alone, Nils is German, and it is not suitable to appear in New York, Nils can't go, so naturally it is not good to let Lu Wan go by herself.
Thinking about it like this, it is more suitable to find someone from Chen Jilin's sailor house.
The group of old Chinese seafarers in the Sailor Pavilion not only have a good reputation in Hamburg's Chinatown, worthy of the trust of Gosto, but also have not lived an easy life, they have seen too many winds and waves, with their experience and courage, they can find a random person, in fact, they can take care of the New York umbrella in good order, the only question is whether they are willing to go.
Of course, Gauss was still very confident in convincing Chen Jilin and the old seamen.
How to actually organize his own forces, he already had a preliminary idea at this time. Leaving aside the details of this assumption, it is not difficult to see how grand the scale is from the five main cities of the Antarctic base and the twelve Yuanchen towers, as well as the conditions he has offered to the Allied High Command. The larger the scale, the more manpower is needed to fill it, and when it comes to manpower, the Natural Sailor's House is a source.
If you are just looking for someone to work, then there is a manpower, and Gauss doesn't need to think too much, but since he wants to form a force, similar to Kama Taj, S.H.I.E.L.D., and Hydra, he has to give strength while absorbing manpower.
This means that the old seafarers of the Sailor's House will also become professional heroes.
From the point of view of the Chinese people, this should be regarded as a creation, right? No one would refuse.
Gauss had a certain idea, so he invited all the old seafarers of the sailor's house to Ambrera.
Subsequently, in front of Niels, Lu Wan, Chen Jilin and all the old seamen, he depicted part of his ideas in detail. This part of the idea is not only about Ambrera, the Shadow of Robin Hood and the Mariner's House, but also about all the Chinese people in Hamburg's Chinatown. He mentioned his plans, he mentioned Antarctica, he mentioned the islands that had not yet arrived, he mentioned the Kunlun Relic, he mentioned Hydra and SSR, he mentioned magic and qi, and he also mentioned the granting of power.
Even fourteen-year-old Hannah listened with fascination, not to mention the others.
Chen Jilin and those old seafarers, of course, immediately realized that if Gauss's vision came true, not only would they become old and decrepit, but even all Chinese people in Chinatown would have a new future. These old people, who have been on the sea all their lives, uphold the traditional Chinese thoughts, have always been obsessed with it, and can't think of a way to repay Gauss, but now they see that Gauss can not only use himself, but also this is a creation for himself, so he naturally responds.
With them responding, things are much easier.
Gauss was not polite, and immediately assigned Chen Jilin, and in the next year or two, he was responsible for secretly screening the Chinese people in Chinatown, and when the subglacial space of Antarctica was completed, everyone went to sea in batches and withdrew to the Antarctic base. Not all Chinese people in Hamburg are good, and this type of people may have no problem helping food, but they cannot give strength and must be eliminated first.
Subsequently, the candidates to go to New York were also selected, one is called Sun Haili and the other is Wang Rentong.
Both of them had been on the ships of the British merchants and were familiar with the English language.
After they get there, they can recruit some people from New York's Chinatown, and they should be able to set up the umbrella company's shelves.
After these things were dealt with, Gauss personally cooked a table of dragon meat for everyone.
Before the meal was finished, there were already some old seafarers, feeling the vitality that they had not felt for a long time.
After two days in Hamburg, Gauss took Sun Haili and Wang Ren to New York.
Carter did not return the suite of the Empire State Building, and kept it for him.
made two phone calls, and it didn't take long for Carter and Howard to come over one after another.
However, what Gauss didn't expect was that Nick Fury also traveled with Carter.
When he asked, he found out that just the day before, Nick Fury had left the CIA and joined the SSR.
Carter was resolute, and Howard was no slouch.
Howard also helped Gauss negotiate a deal, and as long as the payment was completed, the building would be transferred to the umbrella.
Of course, Gauss had to register an umbrella (New York) company before that.
Interestingly, the transaction price of that building was 20% higher than previously expected.
Howard also said that he was just asking for speed, and he didn't dwell on the price.
Gauss was also glad that he had expected this situation when he moved the money, otherwise he would inevitably have to go on a trip.
For the next few days, he didn't go anywhere, just stayed in New York.
After registering the company and completing the transaction, Gauss took matters into his own hands and installed the defense system in the building.
Among them, Carter made two trips, one to take Sun Haili and Wang Rentong to handle the identity of residents of New York, and the other to tell Gauss about the quarrel between the Allied High Command. Sure enough, those islands are not so easy to get hold of.
When Sun Haili and Wang Rentong recruited people from Chinatown and barely held up the umbrella of New York, Gauss brought Carter, Howard, and Nick Fury together and entertained everyone with a dragon meat dinner in the company.
After this meal, he left New York the next day.
