"Baron Stryker is right!" The person in charge of the base, who was a researcher, knew nothing about the secrets of Hydra. He was easily convinced by Baron Stryker and let go of his worries about the possible threat posed by Schmidt.
"The current situation is not optimistic for the Fuehrer. The Eastern front of Europe has fallen into a disadvantageous position. Under the continuous counterattacks of the Soviet Red Army, the front line is constantly retreating."
"The Western front has also fallen into a stalemate under the joint forces of the Allies. Now we urgently need an opportunity to change the situation, 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 production by 60%."
Without the support of the Cosmic Cube's energy conversion technology, even if they used the latest powerful bombs developed by Hydra, they would need a considerable number to achieve the goal of destroying a city. Not to mention, their goal was dozens of large cities, so the number of bombs needed was even greater.
"But these workers are all captives. I don't think they have the strength to do it." The person in charge of the base was a little worried.
"Then use up their remaining strength! There will never be a shortage of workers, and we will always have more captives. "Baron Stryker looked at the person in charge with a cold expression.
…
"Hi!"
Seeing that it was Agent Carter who greeted him, Steve quickly responded.
"Why are you here?" Steve was very surprised to see the goddess he secretly loved here.
"In theory, I shouldn't be here." Carter put away her raincoat and sat down on the box next to the props.
Carter and Colonel Phillips led the Strategic Scientific Reserve here to secretly deal with Hydra. In order not to alert the enemy, their whereabouts were strictly confidential.
"A wonderful performance."
"Uh … yeah, I had to improvise a little." Thinking that the scene just now was seen by Carter, Steve explained with some embarrassment.
"Most of my usual audience is …" Steve sighed helplessly.
"Children."
Senator Brad had taken Steve from Colonel Phillips in order to set up a war idol and drive up the sales of defense bonds. Therefore, his performance was mainly targeted at middle-class families, and the audience was mostly parents with children.
As long as the performance was wonderful, they would not be stingy with their applause. Soldiers, on the other hand, were different. What they really respected and worshipped was the heroes on the battlefield, not the so-called "Captain America" who only knew how to act in movies and on stage, but had never even been on the battlefield.
"I heard that you're 'America's New Hope'," Carter said with a smile.
"Every time I go to a state, the national debt sales increase by 10%," Steve said calmly, but there was not much pride in his tone.
"Sounds like Senator Brad's idea." Carter did not have a good impression of these politicians.
"At least that's what he wants me to do. Colonel Phillips wants to lock me up in the lab."
When Dr. Erskine faked his death, according to the normal procedure, Steve was indeed sent to the new laboratory to cooperate with the research. However, just like the plot in the movie, Senator Brad, who discovered the value of Steve, used the power in his hands to make him popular to promote the bond. Obviously, his goal was achieved.
"Are these the only two choices you have?" Carter glanced at the juggling monkey riding a unicycle in a star-spangled uniform in Steve's sketchbook and asked with some disappointment.
"A lab rat or a dancing monkey?"
"You know you can do more than that."
Previously, in order to cover up the secret operation, they followed Chen Mo's advice and did not tell Steve the truth. They created the illusion that the doctor had died and the super soldier project had failed. They successfully deceived everyone and did not arouse the slightest suspicion.
Now that more than half a year had passed, the storm had basically subsided. It was time to tell him the truth and let this "super soldier" return to the team.
At this time, Steve did not know anything about this. After hearing Carter's words, he looked at her with a complicated expression but did not speak for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Carter asked curiously.
"You know what? My dream has always been to go to the battlefield abroad, to the front line, and to serve my country. "
"When I finally got my wish, it was to wear tights …"
Steve was extremely disappointed. He wanted so much to be like other soldiers, to go to the front line and fight the enemy, instead of performing on stage to lift a motorcycle and beat up Hitler to promote the bond.
At this moment, there was a commotion. Steve and Carter turned their heads and saw a battlefield ambulance with a red cross painted on the body stop in front of the field hospital tent. A stretcher was carried down, and on it lay a person who seemed to be seriously injured.
"They seem to have just fought a fierce battle."
Steve guessed.
"These soldiers are the worst." Carter, who knew the inside story, sighed.
Steve heard this and looked at Carter. He wanted to know what was going on.
She came this time to prepare Steve to join S.H.E.L.D., so naturally, there was no need to keep it a secret.
"Hydra sent a unit. Two hundred soldiers went to fight, and less than fifty came back."
"There are survivors of the 107th Infantry Regiment in your audience. The others were either killed or captured."
When he heard Carter's words, Steve was suddenly shocked. He quickly asked, "107th Infantry Regiment?"
"What's wrong?" Carter asked with some confusion.
Steve was not in the mood to care about anything else. He quickly stood up and ran to the headquarters in the rain. The 107th Infantry Regiment was the unit his good friend Buggy was in!
Steve rushed into the headquarters tent in one breath. The person sitting inside was Colonel Phillips, who was going to send him to the laboratory for research. There was no time to be surprised. The anxious Steve was not in the mood to be polite and went straight to the point.
"Colonel Phillips, I need a list of casualties from the Bolzano Battle!"
"You are not qualified to order me, son," The colonel was angered by Steve's straightforward tone. He squinted at Steve and scolded him.
"I just want to know the situation of Sergeant James Barnes of the 107th Infantry Regiment." Steve, who was worried about Buggy's safety, quickly explained.
The colonel knew that Carter must have told Steve about the Hydra's deployment. The colonel was angry that she disclosed secrets to Steve without consulting him. Although Steve would join S.H.E.L.D. sooner or later, he did not think now was a good time. There would be some trouble with Senator Brad.
The Colonel had planned to ask for Steve back in a few months, when he was done with his tour, his bond sales, and his usefulness to Senator Bullard had lessened.
The colonel glared fiercely at Carter, who was standing behind Steve and pretending to adjust her raincoat. He pointed at her with the pen in his hand and said with an unfriendly expression.
