Chapter 51 Bucky's Safety

"Your Excellency the Baron is right!" The head of the base, who was a researcher, knew nothing about the secrets of Hydra, and was easily persuaded by Baron Strucker to let go of the possible threat to Schmidt. 's concerns.

"The current situation of the head of state is not optimistic. The battlefield on the eastern front in Europe has fallen into a disadvantage. Under the continuous counterattack of the Soviet Red Army, the front is constantly retreating."

"The Western Front has also reached a stalemate under the joint efforts of the Allies. Now there is an urgent need for an opportunity to change the situation of the war, so our plan must be accelerated."

"The construction of the Valkyrie Goddess has basically come to an end. Your bomb supply must keep up. The current progress is too slow. From now on, increase the output by 60%."

Without the support of the energy conversion technology of the Cosmic Cube, even if they use the latest high-power bombs developed by Hydra, they still need a considerable amount to achieve the purpose of destroying a city, not to mention, their goal is dozens of large In cities, the number of bombs needed 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 grimly.

...

"Hi!"

Seeing that it was Agent Carter who greeted him, Steve responded quickly.

"Why are you here?" Steve was surprised when he suddenly saw the goddess he had a crush on here.

"In theory, I shouldn't be here." Carter put away his raincoat and sat down on the box next to the props.

Colonel Carter and Phillips led the Strategic Science Reserve here to deal with Hydra in secret, and their whereabouts were strictly kept secret in order not to startle the snake.

"Great show."

"Uh... Yes, I have to improvise." Thinking of the scene just now being seen by Carter, Steve explained a little embarrassedly.

"Most of my usual audiences are..." Speaking of which, Steve sighed helplessly.

"child."

Senator Brad wanted Steve from Colonel Phillips in order to establish a war icon and drive sales of defense bonds, so his performances were mainly aimed at middle-class families, and the audience was mostly children with children. parents.

As long as they perform well, they will not be stingy with applause, but the soldiers are different. What they really respect and worship are the heroes on the battlefield, not the so-called "American" who can only show on movies and stages, but has never even been on the battlefield. team leader".

"I heard you are 'America's New Hope'." Carter said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Every time I go to a state, the sales of national debt go up by 10 percent." Steve said flatly, but there was not much pride in his tone.

"Sounds like Senator Bullard's idea." Carter didn't like these politicians.

"At least he told me to do it, and Colonel Phillips wanted to keep me in the lab."

When Dr. Erskine faked his death, according to normal procedures, he really wanted to send Steve to a new laboratory for research, but just like the plot in the movie, it was used by Senator Brad who discovered Steve's value. The power levy, popularized him to publicize the bond, obviously, his purpose has been achieved.

"Do you only have these two choices?" Carter glanced at the juggling monkey in Steve's drawing book riding a unicycle and wearing a uniform of the stars and stripes, and asked rhetorically with some hate for iron.

"Lab mice, or dancing monkeys?"

"Know that you can do much more than that."

It was out of cover for that secret operation before. They followed Chen Mo's advice and didn't tell Steve the truth. They created the illusion that the doctor died and the super soldier plan failed.

And successfully concealed it from everyone, without raising the slightest suspicion.

Now that more than half a year has passed, the storm has basically subsided, and 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 listening to Carter's words, he gave her a complicated look, but he didn't speak for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Carter asked curiously.

"You know what? My dream has always been to go to foreign battlefields, to the forefront, and to serve my country."

"When I finally got my wish, I was wearing tights..."

Speaking of which, Steve was in a very disappointed mood, how much he wanted to be like other soldiers and go to the front line to fight the enemy, instead of raising his motorcycle on stage and beating Hitler to sell bonds.

At this moment, a loud noise came, Steve and Carter turned their heads and saw a battlefield ambulance with a red cross painted on its body stopped in front of the tent of the field hospital, and a stretcher was carried. Down, there was a wounded man who appeared to be not lightly injured lying on it.

"It looks like they've just had a bad fight."

Seeing this, Steve guessed.

"These soldiers are the worst." Carter, who knew the inside story, sighed.

Steve looked at Carter after hearing this, wondering what was going on.

She came this time to prepare Steve to join S.H.I.E.L.D., naturally there was nothing to keep secret.

"Hydra sent a force, two hundred soldiers went to meet it, and less than fifty returned."

"In your audience there are survivors of the 107th Infantry Regiment. The others were either killed or captured."

Hearing Carter's words, Steve's heart was suddenly shocked, and he quickly asked, "107 Infantry Regiment?"

"What's wrong?" Carter asked vaguely.

Steve didn't care about anything else, he stood up quickly and ran to the headquarters in the rain. The 107th Infantry Regiment was his friend Bucky's unit!

Steve rushed into the tent of the headquarters in one breath, and the person sitting inside was Colonel Phillips, who was going to send him to the laboratory for research. It was too late to be surprised. The anxious Steve didn't have the heart to be polite, and said straight to the point.

"Colonel Phillips, I need the casualty list from the Battle of Bolzano!"

"You're not qualified to order me, boy." The colonel glared at Steve with slanted eyes, and taught him a lesson.

"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 the words, he knew that Carter must have told Steve about the dispatch of Hydra. The colonel was very angry that she secretly disclosed the secret to Steve without consulting him, although Steve would join SHIELD sooner or later. , but he doesn't think it's a good time, there's going to be some trouble on Senator Bullard's side.

The Colonel had planned to get Steve back in a few more months, when he had finished his tour, had completed his bond sales, and was not so important to Senator Brad.

Staring fiercely at Carter, who was standing behind Steve, pretending to organize his raincoat, the colonel pointed at her with the pen in his hand, and said with a bad expression.

"Wait for me to settle the account with you later!"
