Chapter 14: Super Soldier Project (Part I)

"Hey! Man, how do you just know I'm not going to make it this time! Steve argued with his neck curled, but there was always something lacking in his voice.

"How do I know?" Looking at the still stubborn friend, Bucky was directly laughed at angrily, "What do you say? Buddy! You've failed four times! ”

"Anyway, you think I'm going to be unsuccessful!" Steve's voice became smaller and smaller, and the bitterness in his heart became heavier and heavier, looking at the lonely expression of his dead friend, Bucky was also a little unbearable, "Hey, Steve, this is war!" It's not a game, so why do you have to get involved? Wouldn't it be nice to do what you can? You can also help a lot of people by working in the factory! ”

"No, it's different," Steve smiled bitterly, "that's probably the only thing you don't know about me, man!" Looking at the stubborn eyes of his dead friend, Bucky also gave up completely, he knew that he would never be able to persuade this guy! Shrugging, Bucky didn't say anything more, turned back to the exhibition hall to accompany the girl he had brought, leaving Steve alone to continue to look at the recruitment poster in a daze.

What neither Steve nor Bucky noticed was that while they were arguing fiercely, an old man was watching them with interest right in front of the door of the exhibition hall. This is an old man of about sixty years old, with gray hair and a fluffy beard, and he looks like an ordinary old man, and the most important feature is his eyes that have been full of vicissitudes and are full of wisdom.

From the beginning of Steve's argument with Bucky, the old man stood there, looking curiously at the two young men who were arguing fiercely. And as time passed, the old man gradually understood the reason for the dispute between the two, and the old man's eyes became brighter and brighter when he looked at Steve!

What do you see? The old man couldn't believe his eyes, this young man who looked very thin had a heart of gold! His love for the country is so hot, isn't this the person he dreams of?

Looking at Steve, who was still in a daze, the old man did not bother the young man rashly, but secretly made a decision, carefully wrote down Steve's appearance, and the old man turned around and left.

Three or four days passed, and as Bucky had predicted, Steve never gave up on the idea of joining the army, and he came to the recruiting office again.

At the same time, the recruiting office where Lu is located, our Lu someone's day is simply worse than death! Originally, I thought that I would be successfully conscripted into the army, and it would be easy to participate in the "Super Soldier" program as an experimental subject.

But what he didn't expect was that two full days had passed, and Lu was participating in a series of emergency training before going to the battlefield almost every moment, but he didn't see any of the planned personnel appear at the recruiting office where he was.

"Dr. Abraham! Agent Carter! Colonel Phillips, where are you!! Lu couldn't stop shouting in his heart while following a group of recruits for a long-distance run.

Just yesterday, the street of the recruiting office where Lu was located informed that all the recruits would set off for the Polish battlefield two days later, that is, early the day after tomorrow.

This series of news is simply shocking news for someone Lu, he joined the US Army just to blend in with the super soldier program, why did he suddenly have to go to the front line?

What did a socialist successor who was born in New China and grew up under the red flag do to participate in World War II for the sake of US imperialism?

What Lu didn't know was that at this time, Howard Stark, the biggest behind-the-scenes financier of the Super Soldier program, encountered the first low point in his life, and he ran out of money. That's right, he ran out of money. Because of the failure of the experiment at the fair, his Stark Group's stock fluctuated, and more importantly, the attitude of the military changed.

In today's wartime, the military wants Howard to be a pure arms dealer, to develop and equip the US imperialist military with more, more powerful, and more convenient weapons, rather than the so-called maglev train.

After a series of PY transactions, in order to appease the US imperialist military, Howard agreed to invest in the military-led "Super Soldier" program, genetic engineering, which has always been a money-burning frontier science, Howard, who had already encountered stock fluctuations, invested all his money in it, so, unsurprisingly, he came to the brink of bankruptcy.

It can be said that the recent Howard bar can be said to be very manic, his experiment has failed, and the stock has also experienced large-scale losses, but he still has so many people who have not realized it, and he can't let the Stark Group fall like this.

Therefore, Howard made a difficult decision - to accept a large number of weapons orders from the military, and then use the money to support the Super Soldier program and a series of inventions that he will carry out in the future!

It is precisely for this reason that the Super Soldier Project is progressing more slowly than in the original history, beyond Lu Someone's plan.

Just when Lu was in a panic and watched the date of the expedition getting closer and closer, an officer in a jeep drove into the recruitment office where Lu was late.

The day before departure, when Lu was conducting the last round of training, he suddenly received a notice, "All recruits who have reached the [1A] standard in the physical examination of the enlistment should immediately gather in the conference room of the recruitment office!" ”

Hearing this order, Lu someone's heart hung for several days, and finally fell to the ground, he knew that this time it should be the Ministry of Defense that selected the experimenter for the "Super Soldier Program".

Following everyone to the conference room, after a brief check, all the recruits announced that they had been asked to enter the conference room and take their seats. When a total of 105 recruits with the highest standard of physical examination are all seated. An officer entered the conference room and walked straight to the podium.

According to Lu's observation, this officer in his thirties should be an army major! No matter in which country's army, a major should be a middle-level officer, let alone a major in his thirties, which can be said to be relatively young.

Therefore, as soon as this officer appeared, a whisper sounded in the entire conference room, except for someone Lu, none of the recruits present knew what was going on, and our someone, someone Lu, the moment he saw this major, was sure that it must be the plan to select super soldiers, otherwise it would not be so grand.

"Silence!" The major on the rostrum frowned, and scolded everyone in front of him, and immediately, everyone in the conference room fell silent, looking at the major in awe, waiting for his next words.

Looking around, he found that everyone had quieted down, and the major nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, first of all, let me introduce myself, I am the head of this recruiting office, my name is Max, I believe many people have already seen me." ”

"All of you here are the ones with the best physique and achievements in this recruitment. First of all, I would like to congratulate all of you. Major Max's tone was gentle, and a warm smile appeared on his face, and the atmosphere in the entire conference room slowly became relaxed.

"Today, I have gathered everyone here for only one purpose, and that is to select a group of volunteers among you!" At this point, Major Max's voice stopped, and he looked at everyone in front of him solemnly.
