Chapter 923
It's not that Peggy Carter doesn't know the true identity of the Winter Soldier, and the Winter Soldier has been brainwashed and controlled by Hydra for so many years, and Peggy Carter doesn't know about it, but in today's battle, she is still chasing the Winter Soldier and fighting fiercely, looking like she won't stop until she kills the other party, which makes no sense at all.
Why is this? It can't be because she thinks that a man has robbed her man, and she has nowhere to put the face of the main palace, right? This kind of thing is just enjoyable in her mind, and it can't be taken seriously. That's why Evenson had the idea of checking Peggy Carter's body, it was entirely because he thought it would be because of that demonic heart that made Peggy Carter go berserk, and there was absolutely no other thought in it, absolutely nothing!
But now that he found that Peggy Carter showed no signs of that at all, and seemed very calm, he guessed, "You want to avenge the Howards?"
Peggy Carter and Tony Stark's parents have a very long-term friendship, and their relationship has gone beyond friends to relatives. But the Howards did die at the hands of the Winter Soldier, Bucky. If she was angry with Bucky because of this, it wouldn't be unreasonable.
"Howard," Peggy Carter sighed regretfully, "not entirely because of that. I can understand that it was not of the will of Baki himself, who was just a tool at the time, and that the tragedy should not be counted on his head. Butβ" Peggy Carter turned abruptly, "not everyone is as reasonable as I am. β
"Tony?" asked Evenson tentatively.
"Tony is a pretty good kid. Peggy Carter suddenly laughed, "But he's also a very emotional person, just like his father." Originally, such a father and son should get along quite well, but both of them are too smart, both have their own ideas, and both have strong personalities. It's all for the good of the other party, but they handle the relationship very badly. β
"Now that Tony has grown up and matured, he understands that Howard loves him more than anything. So of course he will be full of guilt towards his father, but God has not even left him a chance to make amends. So when he discovers that his father did not die in an accident, but was murdered in a dastardly manner, he knows that he has no chance to make up for Howard, because this opportunity has been ruthlessly denied. β
"How angry he will be? You can imagine what he will do. β
"My parents have a blood feud. Evenson nodded in understanding, "Then Captain Rogers, the idea now is to save the Winter Soldier." β
"If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have to worry so much. β
"Well, so, so..."Evenson looked up at Peggy Carter, "they have been at odds with each other for the rest of their lives, and even turned against each other, and the Avengers are about to split." β
"Avengers? Peggy Carter sneered, and didn't seem to care about it, "Although I am one of the members of this emergency team that Nick Fury has concocted, I am actually not optimistic about this organization, and now he should be coming to an end, so I don't care if it survives or not." β
"Then sit down and have a good talk. "Evenson is noncommittal about Peggy Carter's opinion" Tony is emotional, he may be impulsive and angry when he first hears the truth, but he is not an unreasonable person, and he may be understandable if he tells him everything clearly. β
In the final analysis, Howard's matter was ordered by Hydra, and Bucky was also brainwashed by Hydra, so it stands to reason that this account will eventually be counted on Hydra's head.
"People who stand on the dry shore will always think that things are so easy and simple. There was a hint of sarcasm in Peggy Carter's tone, "This matter has nothing to do with you, you naturally can't empathize, so you can stand here and talk nonsense." β
"Perhaps. Evenson smiled awkwardly, "Persuading others to be tolerant without knowing anything, this kind of person is really annoying." But what else? That's the best way. β
"Evenson...", Peggy Carter suddenly asked in confusion, "what do you say is the hardest thing in the world?"
"The hardest?" Evenson really thought about it for a while, and replied seriously, "It's the hardest to make money, and it's even more difficult to be able to spend it completely in your own hands after making money." β
If he had said this, he would have been sneering, but Peggy Carter was not moved at all, and just said lightly, "Don't gag, you know the answer." β
"Alas," Evenson sighed, and had to say again, "dilemma, the hardest of both worlds." β
"That's right, the hardest of the two dilemmas. Peggy Kadge nodded in agreement, "Is it difficult for me to do this? Although I know Bucky, we don't have any friendship, we just meet a few times, and it's a relationship with Steve." I could have taken a stand, and whether it was revenge for the Howards, or handing him over for trial as the Winter Soldier, I wouldn't have any psychological burden or any embarrassment. β
"And Tony is even simpler, he doesn't know Bucky at all, if he wants to kill the Winter Soldier, from a personal point of view, as a son of man to avenge the blood vengeance of his parents, from a righteous point of view, this is the superhero Iron Man for the world to eliminate a cold-blooded killer of Hydra, for the world to remove a scourge, so he has no embarrassment. β
"But Captainβ" Evenson's eyes lowered, and he seemed to understand why Peggy Carter was obsessed with killing the Winter Soldier before he could reveal his identity.
"Looks like you get it. Peggy Carter clasped her hands around her waist and said, "The reason why I did that wasn't for myself, not for Tony, but for Steve." He is the most difficult one, in a dilemma, in a dilemma, in a dilemma. β
"He seems to have a choice in this matter, but in fact he doesn't have a choice at all, he looks like he can take a position, but he can't show it at all. He had sacrificed everything for this world, he had been frozen for sixty years, and when he woke up, it was a strange world to him, and his old acquaintance was nothing but me, and this Bucky was the only one left, so what did he do?"
"It's difficult. "Matters involving human sophistication have always been the most difficult to solve, and Evenson, as an outsider who has nothing to do with himself, has no position on this matter at all.
"That's right, it's difficult!" Peggy Carter suddenly became excited, "But he can't get out of such a difficult thing, just like he said, Bucky is brainwashed, I can't blame him for these things, I have to save him!"
"Oh God, if Bucky hadn't been brainwashed, I would have been able to thank God for his gift and donate all my money to the Old Lady Temple in Paris to rebuild the temple and reshape the golden body!"
This is not an exaggeration. Evenson thought about it, if Bucky wasn't brainwashed by Hydra, but genuinely betrayed. With Captain America's character, he is definitely the first person to hunt down the Winter Soldier, and he can't wait to die with him, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about.
"But it's bad that Bucky is brainwashed!" Peggy Carter said with two fingers, "This is not wrong on both sides in the big picture, but Bucky is a person in the end, not a knife and a pistol, and people who are emotionally biased towards him will think that he is not at fault, he is innocent and framed, but for those who are not biased towards him, he must bear some responsibility." β
"What does that leave Steve? He's friends with Bucky, and he can't walk away or hand him over. But what about Tony? How did he deal with Tony? This matter may be hidden, and no one will know if Tony doesn't say it, but what kind of torment should Steve have in his heart?"
"What's more, he and Bucky are friends, isn't he friends with Howard? Maybe this point was deliberately ignored, but don't forget that when Bucky was captured for the first time with the troops, Steve was just a clerk, performing on stage to solicit war donations and condolences to the front-line troops, and his only super soldier was extremely important to the U.S. government, and he was not allowed to go to the battlefield at all. β
"It was Howard, who was willing to disobey military orders and personally flew the plane to send Steve over in the line of anti-aircraft fire of the Hydra. He has money, he is the largest contractor of military weapons, will he be fine?"
"Stark Enterprises was not a deep-rooted plutocratic family at that time, Howard won that status completely by his own talent, I don't know how many people wanted to bury this nouveau riche alive, he personally drove the plane to send the only super soldier to the base of Hydra, as long as someone has a heart to operate, he can easily be beaten into treason, how much risk did he take for Steve?"
Not to mention that Steve's shield and the uniform he was going to pick up now were all designed by Howard. After his disappearance, Howard searched for him for three years, barely sleepless, and this incident became a demon in his heart. β
"He's a scientist, but he was able to endure his desire to do research and gave me the only tube of blood that Steve had left!"
"The friendship between Steve and Howard is much greater than that between Tony. β
"Alas, Hydra is doing evil!" Evenson smiled bitterly after a long time, his good friend was brainwashed and killed another good friend of his own, this kind of thing is difficult to do no matter who it is, or even impossible to do!
It's better if you meet the kind of person who is not responsible for the cowardice of nature, and just pull away and push it to the end. But Captain America is the kind of person who dares to take responsibility, but what should he do? Kill Bucky to accompany the Howards? He must be reluctant in his heart, and it doesn't make sense.
But if he exposed this matter to save Bucky, then he would definitely feel ashamed of the Howards and Tony in his heart, and he might not show it on his face, but the torment in his heart can be described as endless.
"You can't retreat like this, you can't choose to choose, the captain is really caught in this matter. Evenson found a place and sat down slowly, "That's why you want to kill the Winter Soldier before he reveals his identity, as long as he Bucky is dead, all the troubles, all the hatred, will be gone." β
"Tony doesn't hate a dead man, he projects his hatred onto Hydra, who is really responsible. β
"The captain should not be responsible for a dead person, he may be sad and remembered, and he may also make some excuses for him, but because the person concerned is dead, these will only stay in words after all, and there is no need to make substantive cover and action, and he will not be so embarrassed and guilty. β
"That's a great idea. Evenson nodded as if appreciative, but said in quick succession, "But if you do that, and you really kill Bucky, how do you deal with the captain? How should he face you? I'm afraid he'll never forgive you." β
"I have a clear conscience, why should I be afraid to face him?" Peggy Carter sneered, "As for the rest... Hehe... How could I have thought that the Winter Soldier was Bucky? I just considered that the Winter Soldier was the cold-blooded killer of Hydra, he killed too many people, killed Howard, and killed Nick Fury, so I would have killed the killer, how do I know he's poor brainwashed Barnes?"
"And according to my plan, the last way I want to kill him is to burn him to char with the edge of my eyes, and the last time I want to blow up his entire head with one shot, destroy his body, who knows who he is?"
β... Oh. "This is really ruthless!" Evenson raised an eyebrow, but then again, if that were the case, there really wouldn't be a problem. Because in terms of age, Peggy Carter and Captain America are basically the same age, but in fact, Peggy Carter is at least sixty years older than the captain, and she is also a senior in the position of the leader of S.H.I.E.L.D.
If she really made up her mind to fool Captain America, wouldn't it be the same as a grandmother fooling her grandson?
"Unfortunately, I didn't make it happen. Peggy Carter shook her head regretfully, then held out a box, "This is my heart, you gave it back to me as a sign of trust, and now I give it back to you." β
Evenson lowered his eyes and looked at the box, although the real situation was not the case, and that heart was purely an ornament that could not determine the life and death of Peggy Carter, but the other party did not know about this matter, "What do you want me to do?" If you want me to kill Bucky, then don't open your mouth, it's okay to say before, but now I don't want to grudge with the captain." β
"I know, it's hard right now. Peggy Carter also sighed, "So I don't force it, next we have to organize the Insight Project, Pierce will inevitably let the Winter Soldier intercept, I know you can channel some large-scale destructive magic, if you can inadvertently implicate him it would be the best." β
"If it doesn't work, or this time unfortunately let him run away, I know that you have a department called the Black Chapter Department, you can do everything you can want him, it is best to kill him on the spot, if not, arrest him, put him in a black prison, you don't have to pay attention to Steve and Tony's requests, anyway, you are enforcing the law, and they have no legitimate reason to object. β
"If you can do that, you can stop putting Steve in a dilemma. Peggy Carter said this, showing a look of struggle, but still handed the box in his hand forward, "I am willing to entrust my life and death to your hands again, and listen to your orders." β
"Hmm..."Evenson looked at the box containing the heart and was silent for a while, to be honest, Peggy Carter made such a request, and was willing to pay such a price, mainly to surprise him, but in the end he pushed the box back, and under the other party's surprised expression, he said, "I don't know Barnes either, I'll try to do this as much as I can, we're friends, don't be so serious, if it does, you owe me a personal favor." β
