"What do you mean by that?" Nick heard Frank's question, and the only remaining eye was staring at Frank meaningfully. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Do you still trust the government so wholeheartedly, and your superiors, the people who control them? Frank said without weakness in the eye contact.

"Are you suspicious of the government? That's not what a good soldier thinks. Nick said that, but his eyes were fixed on the wine in his glass.

I watched the wine in the glass continue to ripple with a slight shake of myself.

"You know what kind of dilemma I faced in Vietnam at that time. There was a kind of memory in Frank's eyes.

"Everybody's starting to evacuate that damn place, and no one wants to spend another day in that sweltering rainforest. ”

"Our troops were scheduled to leave at the end, and our commander was a complete scumbag. Frank's words were calm and didn't fluctuate too much.

"My platoon was placed in the last evacuation position, but the helicopter evacuated was twelve hours later than scheduled. ”

"We were left abandoned in the camp, and as the minutes ticked by, everyone started to get scared. Frank took a gentle sip of mint cane wine.

"Nick was lucky enough to be transferred to another company instead of staying with us at the last minute. Frank chuckled lightly, not knowing what the smile really meant.

Whether it's envy of Nick's luck, or is there a kind of sarcasm, or sometimes it's there.

"In the penultimate hour before the evacuation, there were already people in our platoon who were starting to break down, and everyone thought that they had abandoned us, and I kept motivating them. ”

"All sorts of reasons, like the weather that is commonly used in flights. Hah!" Frank's smile was a little more bitter.

"In the penultimate hour before the evacuation, two companies, about three hundred Vietnamese soldiers, began to attack us. ”

"They seem to know that a U.S. company that was stationed here has been evacuated, and only a dozen or so people are left inside. ”

Nick couldn't help but frown when he heard this. "Why have you never told me about it before? ”

"Don't worry Nick, listen to me. Frank waved his hand and motioned for Nick Fury not to interrupt his story.

"A whole three hundred Vietnamese soldiers attacked, and we damned only one platoon, fifteen soldiers, and fourteen of them were already scared to pee their pants. ”

"The only good news was that the timid company commander had left a large amount of weapons and ammunition in the camp in order to speed up the withdrawal. ”

Frank stopped drinking, so he took out a cigar and handed it to Nick Fury, bringing one to himself.

"There was a soldier who suffered from severe war phobia, and he was an Ivy League college student. His job was supposed to be to stay in a high-rise building in Manhattan, New York, and be a good manager. ”

But out of enthusiasm for his country, he decided to go to work after graduating from university with two years of military service. ”

Lit cigars emit a strong smoke with a spice burning flavor that will be very spicy and unacceptable to those who are not used to it.

But those who like it are willing to eat it.

In the smoke of smoke, Frank's story continues. Nick Fury looked at Frank through the smoke with a sense of unreality.

It seems that at a certain moment, this old friend has died, and the one in front of him is only his soul.

"This student soldier died, and died an ugly death, not at all heroic and not at all honorable. Unlike what he imagined he would be a hero on the battlefield. ”

"He was killed by the enemy in fear without any return fire. I remember how he died, and the bullets came in from here. Frank pointed to his cheeks.

Then he pierced the back of his head and shaved off half of his skull, and I remember the temperature of his blood and brains splashing on my face. ”

The sparkle of the cigar looms in the smoke.

"Everybody's dead, porcupines, college students, everybody else, they're all dead. Frank was calm and didn't seem to be talking about what was going on with him.

Instead, it's more like telling someone else's story, and telling what should be a thrilling story is boring.

"In the end, I was the only one who survived, and when the helicopter arrived, they saw me with 27 bullets and more than 300 bodies. ”

"I know, I can't always be so lucky, the miracle of killing hundreds of Vietnamese soldiers by myself and not dying from 27 bullets in his body doesn't happen to me every day. ”

"And our willingness to be lagged behind is ridiculous, do you want to know?" said Frank's smile with a terrible feeling.

"Because that timid company commander deliberately forgot about us in order to be able to board the ship back home early. And everyone chose to turn a blind eye. ”

Nick Fury shook his head, not sure whether he was expressing disbelief or disbelief.

"It wasn't until the Vietnamese attacked us that the calm was broken by the loud gunfire and fighting, that my superiors sent someone down to investigate all this, and I was able to save my life. ”

"When I stepped on the ship back home, I found the company commander. In the Pacific Ocean, I took advantage of a gap in the night to knock him unconscious and push him into the sea, pretending that he had fallen overboard. ”

"No one knew what was going on in the quiet night, but I knew from that moment that Sergeant Frank Custer was dead. ”

"To answer the question you asked me earlier, why didn't I tell you this. "Frank has smoked a lot of cigars.

The whole room was a little filled with cigar smoke.

"Because pulling another person down to hell does not give any relief to those who have already gone to hell, but only one more evil ghost in hell who will compete with him for food. ”

Frank's words were said with a smile, but that smile was indescribably dark.

"So you're going to arrest me now, Director S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

"No, S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't care about criminal cases. Nick Fury said with a blank face.

"Then I should thank you. Frank said. "My trust in the government and the institutions of power collapsed at that moment. ”

"So you chose to leave the frontline and become an instructor?" Nick now kind of understands why Frank chose to retire in the rapids when he was about to be promoted.

Although he later became a special operations instructor in the Marine Corps, Frank still insisted on fighting in the front-line combat units.

Then he will be able to get a position far higher than being an instructor, and even becoming a brigadier general Nick is no exception.

"The reason why I became an instructor is that I still have a love for this country, I love this country. It wasn't until my family was killed, and justice was still not forthcoming, that Frank Custer actually died. ”

Frank's words became unusually gloomy at this moment. "The one who stands before you is the Punisher, and He lives to punish the sins of the world. ”

"That's why I'm looking for your help, you and your two apprentices. Nick Fury brings up the topic again. "We have many evils to fight and many dangers to deal with. ”

"We need a special way to deal with problems that ordinary police and military personnel can't handle. ”

Frank said, shaking his head. "You haven't understood Nick yet. Let me ask you again, do you think everything is still under your control?"

Before the Washington meeting, Nick Fury would have been confident that everything was under control.

But after the Washington meeting, Nick realized that his grip on S.H.I.E.L.D. was far from as strong as he thought.

Countless undercurrents lurk beneath this vast institution. It's intricate enough to make any good secret service boss troublesome.

"So what do you think?" asked Nick Fury, a little confused.

"I believe in you, Nick. Frank pressed his nearly finished cigar onto the high-end redshirt furniture. "But I don't trust the government. ”

"And you can't even guarantee that S.H.I.E.L.D. is completely in your hands. ”

"So you mean refusal?" said Nick, a little uncomfortable.

"It's not as simple as saying no. Frank shook his head. "There's a saying in business investment that makes a lot of sense, don't put your eggs in one basket. ”

Nick laughed out loud. "Business, I don't know when you're still business-minded?"

"It doesn't matter, Nick Fury. Frank shook his head and said that wasn't the point. "The key thing is that you understand that we need to have a back plan, whether it's you or me. ”

"Fallback?" Nick Fury was a little intrigued.

"What kind of team do you want to build?, the Avengers or what?" asked Frank.

"It's the Avengers. Nick corrected Frank's words.

"Okay, Avengers. Frank waved his hand absently. "So what do you think of a secret Avengers?"

"Not under the control of the government, and you may not really be able to control this team, but trust me that this team will be more efficient than under S.H.I.E.L.D. supervision. ”

〃Because the people on this team have more conviction that with the right guidance, they will burst out with amazing potential.

"You're telling me to give up believing in the government and choose a ragtag army?"

"Because they're more zealous, and they're more willing to fight for justice, what do you think of that as a backup plan?" said Frank, finally looking into Nick Fury's eyes.

Nick smiled, the corners of his mouth going up. Maybe Frank is right, you can't put all your eggs in one basket, and the back plan is important at all times.

A veteran of a hundred battles should plan for the worst, even if the consequences are the last thing he wants, but he still has to face it.

The Secret Avenger may not be a good choice, but it's a good idea.
