Chapter 12: The Wheels of History Roll Forward (Part 1)
Just when Lu was seriously considering whether to completely kill his own cheating system, the history of heroes was quietly moving forward along the established track.
Another recruiting site in New York City, our Comrade Steve Rogers, is experiencing his fourth failed enlistment. During the period when the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor broke out and the US imperialists finally decided to do it themselves, Comrade Steve tried to enlist in the army four times in four capacities, but of course, all four times failed.
Looking at the [4F] on the physical examination report, which represents the worst level, Steve had mixed feelings, unlike all the young men who joined the army, Steve did not have a deep hatred for the enemy, or a desire to make a career and defend his homeland. I just feel that as a U.S. citizen, I should go to the battlefield and do my part for my country as a U.S. citizen.
And the harsh reality almost completely cut off Steve's hope, this delicate young man, who joined the army four times, and almost every time failed because he failed the medical examination. This gave him a sense of depression that he had no way to serve the country.
Steve, who was extremely depressed but did not give up, casually gathered up his physical examination report and threw it into the trash can not far away.
Apparently, Steve didn't give up the idea of joining the army, but before the next one. Steve decided to go watch a movie to relax.
In the 40s of the 20th century, big-screen cinema has become popular, and the quality comes from the rapid development of various large and small cinemas. Before the film was screened, the convention was the patriotic propaganda time of US imperialism today.
By the time Steve entered the theater screening hall, the opening credits were halfway through the patriotic propaganda, and when he sat down in his seat, a little boy dressed in shabby clothes appeared on the screen.
It was a little boy about four or five years old, picking up garbage bit by bit, and Steve noticed that it was not ordinary garbage, but some scrap of metal, and in the war, recycling scrap metal was obviously very important.
At this time, the speaker of the movie theater also came out at the right time with the commentary of the male voice, "In the era of war, everyone should contribute their own strength." Look, even little Dimi is doing his part, collecting scrap metal on the streets. Well done! β
Hearing this, Steve's heart was even more depressed, in this extraordinary period, almost everyone is using their own methods to help the country, even a child! And what about yourself? Isn't he even as good as a four- or five-year-old child?
Steve fell into a deep self-reproach, and at this moment, Steve heard a rude voice that was scenic,
"It's my business, we're here to watch a movie, show the feature film!" Interrupted Steve, who looked a little annoyed, immediately responded, "Hey, can't you just be respectful?" β
In the loudspeaker of the movie theater, the emotional male voice continued to come out, but the man was obviously more impatient,
βOhγ shitοΌ Fast forward, play the feature film immediately, who wants to watch these! β
At this moment, Steve felt that even he was insulted, and couldn't help but be furious, "Hey, can't you just shut up!" β
This time, the noisy man noticed Steve, turned his head, and the man stood up, although he was only of medium build, but he still looked strong in the face of the slender and short Steve.
Looking at Steve, who was only about one meter and six meters in front of him, the man showed a hideous smile, "Hey, boy, follow me to the back alley, the two of us use a man's way to decide, which of us has a 'reason'!" β
This may be regarded as the characteristic culture of US imperialism, "If there is something to do directly, don't BB and will not let the gendarmes, oh." That is, the police at that time intervened! This is a real man! β
Looking at the man in front of him, who was almost a head and a half taller than himself, Steve had almost seen his end.
Instead of refusing, the tart nodded and followed the man out of the cinema.
For Steve, he would rather be a hero for a second than make any retreats in this kind of thing.
In the back alley, the fight between the two, Ano, it should be said that Steve was unilaterally beaten, and it began unexpectedly.
The man first made a standard straight punch at Steve, although the speed and strength all belonged to the level of ordinary people. But Steve, on the other side, is even a weak chicken who is not as good as ordinary people. As a result, the straight punch landed on the bridge of Steve's nose without any fancy.
Involuntarily let out a snort of pain, and fell on his back on the trash can in the back alley. However, Steve, who was hit hard, did not choose to just lie on the ground and beg for mercy. Instead, he struggled to get back to his feet, despite the nosebleed on his face.
Looking at Steve's actions, the man's face once again showed a hideous smile, and in the face of the crumbling Steve, he unforgivingly swung a first-level right hook again.
Steve, who had already suffered a heavy blow, was actually hit by this punch again, and with just one punch, blood had begun to ooze from the corner of Steve's left eye! He was already crumbling, but his feet went limp, and he collapsed on the cold ground again.
If it was an ordinary person, who had suffered two heavy blows in succession, he would have no strength to stand up again, and I am afraid that he would have started begging for mercy because of fear.
Is Steve afraid? Of course I'm afraid! There is no one who does not feel fear in the face of atrocities.
But what Steve has always been known for is his iron-strong consciousness. Dragging his weak and injured body, Steve struggled again with only one conviction and stood up against the wall.
Looking at Steve, who stood up one after another, and looking at the bloody wounds on his face, the man opposite finally became a little scared. With a strange scream, the man looked a little inwardly embarrassed, and threw another straight punch at Steve.
At this time, Steve's eyes were blurred with blood, and in the face of another punch, this time Steve counterattacked. Swung his fist.
It was clear that Steve's thin little fist was of no use at all, and the man's straight punch smashed into Steve's nose again without any hindrance, accompanied by a crisp "click".
This powerful straight punch not only caused Steve's nose bone to suffer a fracture, but the excessive force made Steve's whole body turn half a circle and fly out in embarrassment.
After throwing this punch, the man did not chase again, but hurried out of the back alley, not even caring about Steve's situation.
