Chapter 37 Nationwide Fame
More than a month later.
Hayland Street, Brooklyn, New York.
In winter, the pedestrian streets gradually bustle under the morning sun, and the New Year is just over Christmas. Despite the belligerent phase of World War II, New York, a major European city, was untouched by the smoke of war.
In the early morning of winter, people in overcoats hurry up and down the streets, busy with their work and livelihood.
From time to time, some hooded children can be seen holding a stack of black and white newspapers, walking briskly through the crowded streets and shouting:
"The latest New York Times! Major Kyle and Lieutenant Steve, the two of them led the troops to annihilate the German fortress base once again! ”
"The Wall Street Journal! The two American heroes fought again for glory, and the German front line retreated twenty miles due to insufficient resources! ”
"Win every battle, turn the tide of the battle, the iron-blooded officer, today I will explain to you the glorious road of the enemy - Major Kyle!"
During this period, newspapers were basically the first to print and publish battle reports on front-line operations, not to mention reports on combat victories. Once you log out, you will be snapped up by the public.
No, the boy who sold the newspaper with a red face of egg jelly bought two stacks of newspapers on the wind-cold street in just half an hour.
As it turned out, even if World War II did not affect New York on the surface, it was enough to make people worry about the American troops on the front lines, hoping and praying that they would end the war soon.
"Can you bring me one?" A blonde girl in a purple scarf smiled and gently waved at the newspaper boy running down the street.
The boy immediately trotted over, took the change, and delivered the last of his daily newspapers to the girl's basket.
He opened his eyes wide, looked at the girl's delicate face like an angel, and couldn't help but praise: "Big sister, you are so good-looking." ”
"It's pretty sweet in the mouth." The blonde girl's beautiful eyes curled up with a smile, and her warm smile seemed to melt the surrounding snow, which made many gentlemen passing by on the street frequently hit the street lamp.
"It's time to go home." Lucy took the cold air, elegantly held the food and newspapers in the basket, and began to walk back home.
It's said to be home, but it's actually just the house Kyle used to live in. Located at 199 Hailan Street, it is a classic European and American style duplex villa with a balcony garden.
Lucy took off her boots and entered the door, there was a stove in the house, and the temperature was much warmer than outside, so she took off her cotton coat as well, revealing a graceful figure that her inner sweater could not hide.
After putting the basket on the table, Lucy changed her elegance and dignity outside, and her little face excitedly quickly took out a few newspapers in the basket and spread them out on the table.
The newspapers all have headlines and picture sections, and the protagonists in the pictures of the headline sections of these newspapers are very different, either a stern young man commanding with a round shield and raising his arms, or a cold young man in a black suit with a long sword in his hand rushing towards the enemy.
Underneath the newspaper picture, there is also a detailed biographical note.
'Steve Rogers, 23, Captain America, Lieutenant Officer. ’
(Captain Steve's first battle was to work with Major Kyle to penetrate behind enemy lines in the third enemy area, breach the factory base, rescue 500 American soldiers from the cage, and successfully break out.)
He called himself Captain America, and he always rushed to the front with a shield, leading his team of soldiers to take down five German factory bases in a month, minimizing the damage to his own personnel.
He is a patriot, a super soldier, a heroic embodiment of American justice! )
……
Lucy took a quick look at Steve's bio, and her eyes fell on the other side, which was longer and more cumbersome.
Kyle Dolph, 23, is the youngest major officer in history. ’
Seeing this, Lucy smiled sweetly and opened her lips lightly, reading out Kyle's next personal deeds:
"Major Kyle is the youngest person in U.S. history to receive the rank of major. He was the first to infiltrate the enemy base in the counterattack operation, with a disparity of 1:100 in numbers, and annihilated the German commander and the main forces, successfully winning the opportunity to turn the tide of the battle on the front line.
So far, Major Kyle has led his marching battles to victory, often with one man fighting one enemy against another. According to incomplete statistics, the number of enemies killed under his name has exceeded 10,000, which is a real 10,000 enemies!
He is a hero who represents the symbol of American power! He was a war maniac known to the Germans, nicknamed 'Devil' and 'Dicide'.
The latest news, the President of the United States has awarded Major Kyle the Medal of Honor. ”
After reading it smoothly in one breath, Lucy's face became much rosy with joy. Although such a report of praise for Kyle would be published frequently during this time, she would buy such newspapers and visit them day after day.
"A few months ago, I was just a recruit who broke into an enemy base, and I became a major officer so quickly. Heroes who also represent the power of the United States, huh! ”
Lucy pursed her pink lips, she was really stressed right now, not to mention New York City, and even young women all over the United States were obsessed with the cold youth in the newspaper in front of her.
After all, the movie screening rooms in some big cities will also show some combat documentary propaganda films on the battlefield from time to time.
And Kyle and Steve, it can be said that in the past few months, they have been like the protagonists in war documentaries. The perfect posture of killing the enemy bravely and charging into battle, with the strong personal strength of more than one enemy, and the young and handsome face are all revealed.
On the screening screen, their gesture of raising their arms to command or looking at the camera is enough to trigger the fanatical screams of some Sichun girls.
"Anyway, Kyle was the first person I met."
"Little Lucy, you have to cheer up, there's no reason to lose to those women."
Lucy cheered up and curled up on the sofa, a bit like a woman waiting for her husband's return, and finally muttered resentfully: "It's almost the New Year, and I don't know when Kyle will come back......"
At this time, hundreds of miles away from New York, in the area behind enemy lines, at the glacial mountains.
A rugged train track stretches from the snow-capped mountainside below, and everywhere there are snow-capped peaks, and the cold wind is fierce and the snow is scattered.
On the top of one of the snow-capped peaks, a group of dozens of American soldiers wrapped in military overcoats lurked, listening to intelligence messages from the rear base through listening instruments.
Fury said firmly: "It has been confirmed that on the train that is about to pass, there is an important figure of the Hydra organization, a newly appointed middle-aged and elderly German scientist - Warner Tulls." ”
"Alright, let's get on the train. This time I just got prisoners, so don't go so many people. Kyle said quickly, looking at Steve.
Steve nodded, "Just me, you, and Bucky." The three of us are all good soldiers, and we are not afraid of how many guards there are on the train. ”
“OK。” Kyle agrees, in fact, he is alone in this matter, and he is not afraid of danger.
Kyle, Steve, Bucky.
The three of them prepared and stood side by side on the edge of the cold and windy peak, looking down at the hillside drop of hundreds of meters, patiently waiting for the arrival of the enemy train.
