"What the Baron said makes sense!" The head of the base, who had a background in research, knew nothing about Hydra's secrets. He was easily persuaded by Baron Strucker and put down the possible threat to Schmidt.
worries.
"The current situation of the head of state is not optimistic. The European Eastern Front battlefield has fallen into a disadvantage. Under the continuous counterattacks of the Soviet Red Army, the front line continues to retreat."
"The Western Front has also reached a stalemate under the joint efforts of the Allied forces. Now we are in urgent need of an opportunity to change the situation of the war, so our plan must be accelerated."
"The construction of the Valkyrie has basically come to an end. Your bomb supply must keep up. The current progress is too slow. From now on, increase production by 60%."
Without the support of the energy conversion technology of the Cosmic Cube, even if they use the latest powerful bombs developed by Hydra, they will still need a considerable number to achieve the purpose of destroying a city, not to mention that their target is dozens of large cities.
The number of bombs needed in cities is even greater.
"But these workers are all prisoners. I don't think they have the strength to do it." The person in charge of the base said with some worry.
"Then use their remaining strength! There will never be a shortage of workers, and we will always have more prisoners." Baron Strucker looked at the person in charge and said coldly.
…
"Hi!"
Seeing that the person greeting him was actually Agent Carter, Steve responded quickly.
"Why are you here?" Steve was surprised to suddenly see the goddess he secretly loved here.
"Theoretically, I shouldn't be here." Carter put away his raincoat and sat down on the box with props next to him.
Carter and Colonel Phillips led the Strategic Science Reserve here to deal with Hydra secretly. In order not to alert the snake, their whereabouts were kept strictly confidential.
“Excellent performance.”
"Uh...yeah, I have to improvise." Thinking that Carter saw the scene just now, Steve explained with some embarrassment.
"Most of my usual audiences are..." At this point, Steve sighed helplessly.
"child."
Senator Brad wanted to take Steve away from Colonel Phillips in order to establish a war idol and drive sales of defense bonds, so his performances were mainly aimed at middle-class families, and most of the audience were people with children.
parents.
As long as the performance is wonderful, they will not be stingy with applause, but the soldiers are different. What they really respect and admire are the heroes on the battlefield, not the so-called "Americans who only show off in movies and on stage but have never been on the battlefield."
team leader".
"I heard that you are the 'New Hope of America.'" Carter said with a smile on his lips.
"Every time I go to a state, the sales of Treasury bonds increase by 10%." Steve said flatly, but there was not much pride in his tone.
"Sounds like it was Senator Brad's idea." Carter didn't have a good impression of these politicians.
"At least he still lets me do this. Colonel Phillips still wants to lock me in the laboratory."
When Dr. Erskine faked his death, according to normal procedures, he really wanted to send Steve to a new laboratory to cooperate with research. However, just like the plot in the movie, Senator Brad, who discovered Steve's value, took advantage of it.
He mobilized power and promoted the bond by promoting him. Obviously, his purpose was achieved.
"Are these the only two choices you have?" Carter glanced at the juggling monkey riding a unicycle and wearing a star-and-striped uniform in Steve's drawing book, and asked with some resentment.
"Lab rat, or dancing monkey?"
"Know that you can do so much more than this."
It was previously to cover up the secret operation. They followed Chen Mo's suggestion and did not tell Steve the truth. They created the illusion that the doctor was dead and the super soldier plan failed. They successfully hid it from everyone without causing any trouble.
Suspect.
Now that more than half a year has passed and the storm has basically subsided, it is time to tell him the truth and let this "super soldier" return to the team.
Steve didn't know anything about it at this time. After hearing Carter's words, he glanced at her with a complicated mood, but didn't speak for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Carter asked strangely.
"You know what? My dream has always been to go to foreign battlefields, to the front line, and to serve my country."
"When I finally got my wish, I was wearing tights..."
At this point, Steve felt extremely disappointed. How much he wanted to go to the front line to fight the enemy like other soldiers, instead of performing on stage by raising a motorcycle and beating Hitler to sell bonds.
At this moment, a burst of noise came. Steve and Carter turned around and saw a battlefield ambulance with a red cross painted on the body stopped in front of the tent of the field hospital, and a stretcher was carried.
When he got down, there was a wounded man lying on top who seemed to be seriously injured.
"It seems like they just had a bad fight."
Steve guessed after seeing this.
"These soldiers are the worst." Carter, who knew the inside story, sighed.
Steve heard this and looked at Carter, wondering what was going on.
She came here this time to prepare Steve to join SHIELD, so naturally there was nothing to keep secret.
"Hydra sent a force, two hundred soldiers went to fight, but less than fifty came back."
"In your audience are the survivors of the 107th Infantry Regiment. The others were either killed or captured."
Hearing Carter's words, Steve was suddenly shocked and quickly asked, "107th Infantry Regiment?"
"What's wrong?" Carter asked, somewhat confused.
Steve had no mind to care about anything else. He quickly stood up and ran to the headquarters in the rain. The 107th Infantry Regiment was the unit where his friend Bucky belonged!
Steve rushed into the headquarters tent in one breath, and sitting inside was Colonel Phillips, who was about to send him to the laboratory for research. He had no time to be surprised, and Steve, who was anxious in his heart, did not want to be polite, so he went straight to the point.
"Colonel Phillips, I need a casualty list from the Battle of Bolzano!"
"You have no right to order me, boy." Steve's straightforward tone made him angry. The colonel glared at Steve sideways and lectured.
"I just want to know about Sergeant James Barnes of the 107th Infantry Regiment." Steve, who was worried about Bucky's safety, quickly explained.
When the colonel heard this, he knew that Carter must have told Steve about the Hydra situation. The colonel was very angry that she revealed secrets to Steve without consulting him, although Steve would join S.H.I.E.L.D. sooner or later.
, but he doesn't think now is a good time, there will be some trouble on Senator Brad's side.
The colonel originally planned to ask Steve back in a few months, when he had finished his tour, completed the task of promoting bonds, and when Senator Brad's role was not so important.
Staring hard at Carter, who was standing behind Steve and pretending to adjust his raincoat, the colonel pointed at her with the pen in his hand and said with an unkind expression.
