Chapter 22: Goodbye Steve
Early the next morning.
After breakfast at the hospital early, Kyle changes into a brand new officer uniform from Joseph in the hospital room, as well as a badge with a prominent rank of captain.
Lucy was more attentive to Kyle's dress than he was, arranging the collar and sleeves of the officer's uniform around the left and right, and carefully covering the slightest fold of the clothes with her hands.
"I'm not going to a celebrity banquet, so I don't need to be such a gentleman, right?" Kyle joked that Lucy was silent and didn't answer.
"What's wrong? Who is bullying you? Kyle continued.
Lucy seemed to pluck up her courage and nervously asked back, "Brother Kel, you're going to go back to the battlefield with that bearded officer later?" ”
"The battlefield is not so fast, and the mission is not yet down, just to the base of the recruits who have been trained before." Kyle looked at her, smiled and said, "What's the matter, even if it's an officer position, it's normal to go to war now." ”
"Then can I go with you?" Lucy lowered her head, her little hands pinched each other tangled.
Kyle said with a straight face, "Lucy." What do you think the battlefield is fun about, and you forget how you escaped? ”
"But I'm ...... My family died on the battlefield, and my home was gone. If even you are gone, then I will ......," Lucy said, her big pretty eyes welling up with tears.
"That's a problem."
Kyle touched his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "There is." My home was originally here in New York, but my parents were killed in the war, and now they are empty. If you don't mind, you can go and stay there first. ”
He had read his own archives at the training base and knew that he was an orphan before joining the army, living in a retro villa left by his deceased parents.
The keys to the house are stored at a storage house in New York, and they can be retrieved with an identity slip.
"Do you live at your house?" Lucy's eyes widened, her fair face flushed pink, and Kyle's words meant something else to her.
Isn't this a cohabitation in advance, even though the other partner is not always at home.
"It's okay to stay as long as you want." Kyle smiled and stroked Lucy's blonde hair dotingly.
He didn't think too much about Lucy for the time being, just when she was close to her sister.
"Brother Kyle, you're so nice to me." With her eyes full of excitement, Lucy quickly stood on tiptoe and kissed Kyle on the cheek, and then blushed like a frightened rabbit and fled the room.
"Well, that's a ......."
A subtle feeling arose, and Kyle touched the cheek that had been kissed, quickly putting the thought behind him.
Now, it's not the time to talk about feelings comfortably.
We must continue to grow stronger, strong enough to face all the unexpected crises that happen in this world.
Accumulating military merits and advancing ranks, gaining a certain amount of prestige and power, and even wealth, there are many things waiting for Kyle to work hard.
Reborn Marvel, if you just want to be an ordinary person, then you are really sorry for the card drawing ability given by God.
Kyle has a blueprint for his life and is waiting to be painted.
Around eight o'clock in the morning.
Joseph himself drove in a jeep to take Kyle to the military airport.
Kyle and Lucy say goodbye to New York, and then board a helicopter with Joseph to return to their original training base.
At this time, the training base on the other side.
The military set up a speech stage in the open space of the square, and Steve spoke as Captain America, but there was a political element.
The commander of the base gave an early order to force all soldiers in the training camp to listen to the speech in the square on time, and anyone who did not go was to be expelled from the army. And intriguingly, this speech was attended by no officers except for the soldiers.
Because not only the soldiers, but all the officers scoffed at Steve, who had never been on the battlefield but called himself Captain America.
It is conceivable that Steve, who was wearing the tights of the American symbol, was destined to meet strong resistance from the soldiers when he came to the stage to give a speech.
In fact, it is.
"Are you going with me to repair Hitler?"
Steve stood on the podium, facing the silence of the audience, and wanted to warm up the atmosphere to the hundreds of soldiers below and said, "Okay, are there any volunteers?" ”
"Nonsense. What are we doing here without volunteering? The soldiers in the audience shouted impatiently, and suddenly all the soldiers sitting on the ground in the square burst into laughter.
"We're going to see the girls dance!"
In the face of the soldiers' commotion, Steve responded awkwardly: "I think they will only sing one song later, so I think about what to do with the extra time." ”
"!"
"Little fairy, you should dance in your boots!"
The soldiers in the audience did not give him any face, and became more and more noisy, and some soldiers began to smash the fruit or water bottles in their hands directly onto the stage.
Carter, at the back of the stage, clenched his fists and tried to relieve Steve, but there was nothing he could do.
"Please, don't do this, I'm also a training soldier here before." Steve had no choice but to use the decorative props in his hand as a shield to block the debris that was constantly being smashed from under the stage.
"What are you doing?"
A cold and powerful voice suddenly came from the back of the square, and all the soldiers in the square suddenly looked behind them in surprise.
I saw a young man in an officer's uniform, standing behind the soldiers at some point. He had a faint aura of majesty on his body, and his eyes were sharp and cold, and he looked at the soldiers coldly.
"It's a captain, a sir." The soldier, who was about to refute, noticed the rank mark on the young man's chest and swallowed his saliva back in disbelief.
"Such a young lieutenant officer? How I didn't hear about it. ”
"You're not older than us, are you?"
In the nervous whispers of many soldiers, some soldiers seemed to recognize the identity of the young man, and shouted with complicated expressions: "It's Kyle, Captain Kyle!" ”
Captain Kyle?
Many of the recruits were slightly stunned, and their eyes became fanatical when they looked at the young officers again.
"Hey, it's really the one?!"
"Nonsense! Who else is there but Kyle for such a young captain? ”
“oh my god! An American hero, he's my idol. ”
"Who is not, I came to join the army because of his deeds!"
The soldiers in the square were speechless with excitement, and finally I don't know who took the lead and shouted "stand up and salute", and suddenly hundreds of soldiers got up in unison, turned around and saluted the young man: "Hello sir!" ”
"Sir, it's a great job!"
In the face of their worship, Kyle in the rear responded coldly: "The salute is exempt, I was just one of you for the first two weeks." But that's how you treat my brother? The qualities of being a soldier are nothing more than that?! ”
The soldiers looked at each other, and finally gritted their teeth, and the collective reaction quickly turned around again, bowing to Steve on the stage and apologizing: "I'm sorry! ”
Steve on the stage didn't speak, looking at the cold young man standing behind the soldier, his heart was really excited and ashamed.
He suddenly remembered for no reason the sunset scene after Kyle won the marksmanship competition at the training base before.
At that time, Kyle said to him, "Steve, from now on, no one will dare to look down on us in the future." ”
