Chapter VII The organization has been decided
New York, a barracks somewhere.
In the conference room, a heroic female officer was reporting to her boss.
"βColonel Phillips, I think there's something wrong with that guy named Luke Cavill!"
After briefly summarizing Dr. Erskine's attack at the Tomorrow Fair, Carter spoke of Luke, who was listed as a suspect.
"I've seen the wounds of those German spies, and they were all killed with one shot! It is simply impossible for ordinary people to do this! Cavill must have practiced marksmanship, and it was pretty good! β
The female officer said her conclusion in a firm tone.
After leaving the recruiting station, the doubts in her heart never dispelled.
A young man from Brooklyn single-handedly takes out a trained professional spy, which sounds incredible.
There are too many things that don't make sense!
So Carter believes that this is most likely a Hydra conspiracy.
By sacrificing those German spies, you can get a chance to get close to Dr. Erskine!
Then, carry out the evil plan!
Germany may be more inclined to kidnap than to kill Dr. Erskine.
The value of the Super Soldier Serum, after all, is there.
Whoever gets it can make the difference in the world war.
The impact and threat it can cause cannot be ignored!
Colonel Phillips, who was sitting in his seat, shook his head and said in a deep voice: "He has no problem. β
"I've sent someone to investigate! Luke Cavill, whose parents were Irish immigrants, died early and dropped out of the Bronx Science High School at the age of seventeen β his teachers were sorry because Cavill had excellent grades and was very talented in learning! There are scholarships every year! β
"Then why did he drop out?"
Carter was puzzled.
"You know, Irish immigrants are not welcome. Being bullied and pranked are very common things. As a result, Cavill often fights at school, and when the teacher encounters this situation, he can only call his parents, but he has no parents......"
Colonel Phillips shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Every time he fights with those little devils at school, he still has to face unreasonable adults, and for a seventeen-year-old guy, this is not an easy trouble to solve." β
Carter was silent.
She could imagine how difficult it was for Luke Cavill, an orphan, to have a hard time in those years.
"But...... Where did he get the guns, the marksmanship? β
Carter hesitated.
Through the colonel's narration, she dispelled her inner doubts.
It's just that Carter doesn't understand how an ordinary young man in Brooklyn can have such accurate marksmanship!
"Cavill's uncle, Frank, is a veteran, the kind who actually survived the battle on the battlefield. He went on to join the Irish gang, doing dirty work and is now retired as honorary president of a branch of the Truckers' Union. β
Colonel Phillips told his subordinates the results of the investigation.
Carter has always been relatively strong and has excellent work ability.
It's just that she is a little obsessed with performance, and she doesn't lose to any male side.
This gave Colonel Phillips a headache.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party was an Englishman and not a faction of the American military, he would not have such a good temper.
After all, the members of the Strategic Scientific Corps are complex, with talents drawn from all over the world.
Carter is one of them.
"Luke Cavill is not a German spy, he has nothing to do with the Germans! I don't think Hitler, no matter how good he knew how to agitate, could not have turned a young man who grew up in Brooklyn into a German spy. β
"Of course, Cavill did do some shady things, but the Strategic Science Corps is not interested in that, and it's not our job to fight the gangsters! Fight against Hydra, defeat the Axis powers and win the war, yes! β
Colonel Phillips accentuated his tone, signaling his subordinates not to continue to bother with this man.
He didn't want Carter to stab this hornet's nest of Irish gangsters!
Those people are now joining forces with the unions to help politicians get votes and interfere in election campaigns.
In recent years, the power has grown stronger.
Even Colonel Phillips didn't want to get into such unnecessary trouble!
Hell knows how many Capitol Hill lawmakers are standing behind them!
Instead, as if remembering something, he said, "Erskine seems to be interested in those two men. Luke Cavill, and ...... What's the name of the little guy going? β
"Steve Rogers."
Carter replied.
"Yes, yes! Erskine wanted to recruit the two of them to the Caspian training camp. β
Colonel Phillips pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you think about this, Carter?" β
The Caspian training camp, ostensibly a place for training recruits.
The real effect is to select the testers who will be injected with the super soldier serum.
Erskine's outpouring of meaning is undoubtedly to make Luke Cavill and Steve Rogers selected.
For the former, Colonel Phillips did not see any problems.
Luke was tall, strong and powerful, and single-handedly leveled three German spies.
Even if he is not selected in the end, it does not prevent the fact that he will be a good soldier.
Butβ
Steve Rogers?
That skinny little man who looks like a gust of wind can blow him down?
It would be ridiculous if the Allies were to rely on such people to save them!
"If that's Dr. Erskine's idea, then I think it's fine, Colonel!"
Carter thought for a moment and gave an answer.
"Alright then, I'll leave that to you. I'm going to see them show up in the car on the way to New Jersey. β
Colonel Phillips nodded, and handed over the task.
He figured it out, anyway, with Rogers' physique, maybe he wouldn't even be able to survive the basic training of a recruit.
As for being chosen, to become a super soldier?
Colonel Phillips preferred to believe that Adolf Hitler would have found out his conscience and immediately surrender!
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Knock knock!
Back at his residence, Luke opened the door.
"Steve, can you tell me what's going on?"
Looking at Rogers standing outside the door, and the female officer with a frosty face, Luke asked in surprise.
He thought that the Strategic Science Corps would investigate him, and perhaps drag him in for questioning in the name of assisting in the case.
As an important figure protected by the military, Abraham Erskine is more than worthy of this level.
It's justβ
Steve, why are you so happy?
I can't hold back the smile on my face!
Could it be that being dragged by agents for interrogation is a good thing?
"Luke! I can join the army! We're leaving for New Jersey tomorrow! β
Rogers' joy was almost like a volcanic eruption.
His pent-up depression for many days finally dissipated!
Luke's heart moved, and he reacted immediately.
This is being recruited!
Despite the plot changes, Steve Rogers still embarks on the path to becoming "Captain America" under the influence of the inertia of the timeline.
"I thought it would be a little more tortuous."
Luke reined in his emotions and regained his composure.
It seems that the plan to obtain the super soldier serum has successfully taken the first step.
"Luke Cavill, are you willing to serve your country and join this anti-fascist battle for freedom?"
Carter asked coldly.
Say it as if I have the right to refuse......
Luke thought silently as he glanced at the two heavily armed GIs standing behind Carter.
Since he chose to use this method to enter the military's field of vision, Dr. Erskine was interested.
At this moment, there will be no more back-down!
"Ahem, since the organization has decided, then I ......"
Luke resisted his desire to recite two lines of poetry on the spot and accepted the army's call-up.
