Chapter 13: Roaring Commando, First Mission
"And what does the Colonel have for me?"
Keenly catching Colonel Phillips' vague cultivation ideas, Luke showed a timely attitude of asking for advice.
"The politicians of the committee cannot be trusted! They're all a bunch of goddamn bastards! That Hydra killer was able to get in, thanks to Councillor Brand, who now wants to throw the blame on us! ”
Colonel Phillips first scolded him, and then saw Luke's humble teaching, and his dissatisfaction eased slightly.
For motivated and capable young talents, the older generation will always have the idea of nurturing and promoting - provided that you can show the value that matches it!
In Colonel Phillips's opinion, Luke belongs to such a young talent worthy of cultivation!
That's why he said so many heartfelt words.
"Politicians only care about profits, they can be bought, and they may also act against the country! The Super Soldier Project is facing failure, and how to use you and Rogers to the next level becomes a difficult problem. ”
Colonel Phillips, who has been in the military for more than 20 years, knows the ins and outs of politics very well.
"What the president wants is an army, but now all he gets, is two super soldiers. The abilities of individuals on the battlefield will be reduced indefinitely, even if you can punch through the steel plate and catch up with the speeding car, you will not be able to block the bombardment of shells, nor can you fly to Berlin and carry Hitler out of his house. ”
Luke, who was listening quietly, his eyes flickered slightly.
If you give him time, you can really do it!
In less than twenty-four hours after loading the template, the increase in stellar energy has already exceeded the sum of all these years of exercise.
Luke could feel it perfectly, the trillions of cells in his body were hungry and thirsty, absorbing the rays of the sun.
"With so much research funding thrown down, only two strong soldiers were harvested. To be honest, the military is disappointed and has no interest in you anymore. Not surprisingly, your next fate is probably to stay in the laboratory and be drawn blood, as guinea pigs. ”
Colonel Phillips paused, then reversed course and said, "But I don't think so, seeing your performance just now, and your previous excellent results in the Caspian training camp, Luke, I am determined to entrust you with a more important task." ”
"Do you know the Roaring Commandos? It is a special operations team composed of the best soldiers under the name of the Scientific Strategy Corps! ”
"I want you to lead this team and be their commander!"
Luke looked surprised, this was a true emotional reaction in his heart.
He did not expect that Colonel Phillips would arrange this for himself.
Leading a Roaring Commando?
Commander?
I don't know if I can see Wolverine Logan......
Luke's mind is divergent.
He remembered that in one of the comics, Wolverine was also a member of this team, and he also fought alongside Captain America.
Maybe a black braised egg will be there.
After all, Nick Fury had an early experience with the Roaring Commandos.
"What about Rogers?"
Luke asked curiously.
As the saying goes, the bigger the pectoral muscles, the greater the responsibility!
I don't know if Rogers will debut this time and become a generation of idols in the minds of Americans.
"Rogers? Congressman Brand is interested in him and intends to make him an ambassador for the sale of national debt. ”
Colonel Phillips shrugged his shoulders and said that he was also helpless.
He had wanted to recruit both Super Soldiers into the Roaring Commando Team to complete a plan of the Strategic Science Corps.
But Congressman Brand refused to relent.
He took a fancy to the gimmick of the "super soldier".
I want to make either Luke or Rogers a household name.
In this way, they can not only sell national bonds, add luster to their political achievements, but also stand up for their future election campaigns.
It's the best of both worlds!
"Is that really the case......
Luke secretly said that he was lucky.
Without Rogers blocking his gun, putting on a costume to perform on stage, and being a salesman, it might be his turn.
Even if you can re-enter the military's field of vision through other means, you will miss a lot of opportunities!
Like now—
[Side Quest: Roaring Commando, the first step of a war hero!] 】
[Requirements: Join and be recognized by more than three team members.] 】
[Reward: Scarecrow's Fear Gas× 10.] 】
"The task list is on."
Luke took the moment to glance at the character panel, and a side quest appeared on it.
"It's weird to travel to the Marvel world and get a reward for props from the set next door."
Seeing Colonel Phillips' gaze, Luke gathered his thoughts and said in a deep voice; "I'm willing to lead the Roaring Commando!"
The former was very satisfied with this answer.
"Don't let me down, Luke."
The Colonel happily patted Luke on the shoulder, turned and walked out of the infirmary.
……
……
"I received a call from President Roosevelt this morning, and from now on, the Strategic Science Corps has a new mission!"
"We're going to fight Hydra to the death! Kill this terrible monster hidden in the shadows in this war! ”
“……”
The next morning, Colonel Phillips gave an impassioned speech.
Various researchers, as well as agents and spies, began to pack their things and prepare to shift positions.
They were about to leave New York, follow the instructions of their superiors, and rush to the front in London.
The Super Soldier Program failed, and the status of the Strategic Science Corps, which originally carried great expectations, dropped in an instant!
Rogers, who was standing in the base hall, looked dazed, like an outsider,
He didn't know what to do, and no one told him what to do.
Miss Carter, Howard Stark, they all have their own tasks.
Except for yourself!
"Colonel! If you're going to deal with Hydra, I'd like to join in too! ”
Rogers plucked up his courage and walked up to Colonel Phillips.
Rogers harbored a deep hatred for Dr. Erskine's killer.
"You are now the property of the military, and I have no right to arrange your whereabouts."
Colonel Phillips shook his head.
Of the two super soldiers, he can only choose one.
The rest, which belongs to Councillor Brand.
Phillips hated to make this kind of trade, but he had to.
Dr. Erskine was shot dead and the Super Soldier program failed, and this series of accidents marked the time when the military invested in research funds thrown into the water with no return.
As the manager of the Strategic Science Corps, Phillips had to bear most of the pressure.
Even if there is a lot of blame for it, it is all blamed on Councillor Brand, and it is among his entourage that the killer of Hydra has appeared.
However, as we all know, this powerful senator has always had the nickname of "not sticking to the pot".
Phillips didn't know how the other party argued, anyway, in the end, the committee's accountability only fell on his head.
In order to preserve the forces of the Strategic Scientific Corps, a part of the allocated resources was preserved.
Phillips had to make a deal with Congressman Brand to hand over Rogers to the other party — at least it was better than staying in the lab and being guinea pigs.
"The serum has worked, Colonel! I can go to war......"
Rogers still wanted to fight for the opportunity, but was interrupted by Colonel Phillips: "Councillor Brand said that there is a battlefield that is more suitable for you. ”
With that, he turned and left.
"Colonel, he's also under a lot of pressure, don't be discouraged."
Looking at Rogers with a lost face, Carter, who was standing next to him, comforted him.
She held the experiment log in both hands, sympathy in her eyes.
Through the transformation of the human body, the originally thin and short little man has reached more than six feet (188cm), almost as tall as Luke.
Moreover, Rogers' muscles are more inflated, like Mr. Bodybuilder.
Luke, who is also a super soldier, is not so exaggerated.
"What about Luke! Where is he? ”
Rogers suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Luke since yesterday.
"I don't know, the colonel said he had another mission."
Carter shook his head.
