Chapter 194: The Frontline

"The method of remaking the serum is locked into your genetic sequence, and without Dr. Abraham Erskine, it would have taken us years to re-decipher the serum ......"

In the lab, Agent Carter said to Steve in front of him.

With the death of Dr. Abraham Erskine and the destruction of the last Super Soldier serum, Steve has been the only successful test subject of the Super Soldier serum to date.

"The Doctor shouldn't just die."

There was silence for a while, and then Steve spoke in a low voice.

Dr. Abraham Erskine was a good man who changed his life and should not have died.

"Either way, as a successful serum injection, the doctor should be proud of it."

In this regard, Agent Carter couldn't help but say a word of comfort.

……

"Colonel Phillips, the committee needs a reply......"

On the other hand, the senator expressed his displeasure with the previous attacks, especially the death of Dr. Abraham Erskine, which led to the virtual halt of the entire Super Soldier Serum program, which could not be continued for several years. Right now, they don't see anything else but Steve.

Such an outcome is unacceptable to many, including senators.

"Instead, I'd like to ask the senator why a German spy would be in your car and infiltrate our secret base." Suppressing his inner thoughts about the death and attack of Dr. Abraham Erskine, Colonel Phillips asked Howard as he surrounded a huge submarine in the laboratory.

"Has there been any progress, Mr. Howard?"

"Even though I'm the best mechanical engineer in my country, I still can't figure out how this thing is constructed and how it works." Howard raised his eyebrows, looked at the submarine in front of him, shook his head and replied reluctantly: "Obviously, this is a very advanced technology, according to Steve, the other party is controlling this big machine and trying to escape by sneaking in the water......"

"What's the matter with not just the machine, but the charred corpse?"

Colonel Phillips also brought back the body of the fleeing man.

"Mr. Colonel, I'm just a mechanical engineer and not an expert in this area."

In response, Howard shrugged his shoulders and couldn't help but remind Colonel Phillips.

"What the hell is going on here?" Listening to the conversation between Howard and Colonel Phillips, the senator couldn't help but ask.

"Hydra Hydra," said Colonel Phillips, who turned to look at the senator on his side, "Sir, I've already mentioned them in the briefing." ”

"I'm not just focused on one of your experiments, Colonel, I still have a lot of work to do."

Frowning, the senator replied with a displeased expression.

"Hydra is the secret research arm of ***, headed by John Schmidt, though he clearly has bigger ambitions." Agent Carter spoke up and gave a briefing on Hydra.

"In fact, I already spoke on the phone with Mr. President this morning, and from today onwards, the Strategic Science Department has a new mission, and we are going to fight Hydra to the death." After receiving Agent Carter's introduction, Colonel Phillips turned around and announced that with the death of his collaborator, Dr. Abraham Erskine, the Super Soldier program had lost the possibility of continuing, and Colonel Phillips had to change his plan again.

"So, Agent Carter, pack your bags, and Mr. Howard, so do you, we're heading to London tonight."

"Sir, if you're going to deal with John Schmidt, I'm going to join in!"

Hearing Colonel Phillips's words, Steve couldn't help but open his mouth and took the initiative to ask.

"Nope." Without hesitation, he rejected Steve's request, Colonel Phillips looked at Steve, who was taller than himself, and said in a deep voice: "You only have one person, and what I need is a troop, you alone are far from enough for war." ”

With that, without waiting for Steve to respond, Colonel Phillips turned around and left the lab.

"Actually, I don't really agree with Colonel Phillips." Stepping forward and coming to the silent Steve, the senator looked at the tall figure in front of him: "Steve, you are different, your value of existence is not simply to stay in the laboratory, do you have the will, appear on the battlefield to serve the country?" ”

"Sir, I can't ask for it!"

The senator's words apparently convinced Steve, and he answered without thinking.

"Then congratulations, you've been promoted."

……

Italy, inside a U.S. military camp five miles from the front line.

Li Ran looked at the "Captain America" comic in his hand, looked at the character on the cover who was three or four points similar to Steve, and couldn't help laughing. Steve probably never dreamed that his first mission after being injected with the Super Soldier serum was not to defend the country, but to become a special actor, touring everywhere to sell national debt.

"Have you heard? Captain America is coming to us today to give a speech. ”

"Captain America, you mean that clown in costume, what is he doing here?"

"I'm sure you're a coward like a soft-footed shrimp who cries out at the sound of bullets......"

"I'm not talking about Captain America, I heard that he also brought a whole bunch of beautiful women to perform."

"Oh, woman......"

Outside the barracks, the noisy sound gradually faded away, Li Ran looked down at the comics in his hand, and then looked up at the legend on the system data panel.

[Legendary degree]: 42015

Although there are a lot of legends at the moment, there is still a big gap between what Li Ran expected.

Perhaps, by the time Steve arrives at the barracks, I'll have a lot more ......

Here, Li Ran was secretly thinking about preparing for the arrival of Captain America.

The next second, the sound of a ticking pointer turning sounded in his ears again.

Hearing this rapid ticking sound, Li Ran's expression couldn't help but be stunned, and he had a premonition in his heart that when the next pointer sound sounded again, it might also mean the end of his time lapse this time.

……

"Alright, are you ready to destroy Adolf with me?"

On the front line, on a makeshift stage, Steve, dressed in a cheap uniform, raised a shield with the U.S. national emblem in his hand and shouted to the soldiers in front of him.

Clearly, though, the soldiers were looking forward to the girls who danced with him more than Steve's empty speech.

Knocked off the stage in embarrassment, Steve's mood was not good.

His ideal was to be a soldier who defended his family and country, not to be put on a straitjacket and put on the stage like a monkey for fun.

However, although he was not happy about the situation in front of him, Steve had to continue, at least he still had a certain amount of freedom in front of him than staying in the laboratory for people to study, although this freedom came with a lot of ridicule.

"That's what the super soldier turned out to be."

Alone, silent painting to pass the time.

Suddenly, a somewhat familiar voice came from behind Steve. Turning his head, Steve saw Dio Brando, who had been training with him, looking at him with a look that made him ashamed: "A clown singing and dancing on stage? If that's the case, I'm glad you were chosen in the first place. ”

"It wasn't meant to be part of the plan."

Dio Brando's words made Steve fall silent, and only after a half-loud voice did he speak: "It's just that something happened in it, that's why it's ......"

"I will become an acrobat, I watched your performance, at least it looks much better than when I was training."

Dio Brando's merciless sarcasm made Steve subconsciously clench his fists, however, the next moment, he released his fists as if he thought of something, and his face was decadent.

Indeed, as Dio Brando said, he is now more of a circus performer than a soldier.

Looking at the frustrated Steve in front of him, Dio Brando spoke again and stimulated: "So, you plan to continue like this, as an acrobat?" ”

"Of course not, I ......"

Opening his mouth, Steve was about to say something when a hurried shout suddenly came from within the camp not far away.

Looking around, I saw a seriously wounded soldier being carried from a medical vehicle.

"This is? Has the war on the front line reached this level? ”

Performing everywhere in tights all the time, Steve almost forgot the brutality of war.

"It wasn't this serious before, since a guy named John Schmidt sent out a terrible unit, our personnel have been suffering casualties, two hundred soldiers met the battle, and less than fifty returned, the 107th Infantry Regiment suffered the heaviest casualties, many of whom were either killed or captured......"

"107 Infantry Regiment?!"

Dio Brando's description made Steve feel the cruelty of war again, and the situation of the 107th Infantry Regiment made his face change suddenly.

If Steve remembers correctly, his good friend Bucky Barnes served in the 107th Infantry Regiment.

If what Dio Brando said is not wrong......

Thinking of this, Steve immediately stopped being silent.

……

"Colonel Phillips!"

On the front line, inside the camp, Steve found Colonel Phillips.

"Isn't this our man with a star on his chest and a big heart? What are you going to do with me? ”

Looking at Steve, who appeared in front of him, Colonel Phillips couldn't help but let out a taunt. Colonel Phillips apparently had a strong opinion about Steve's eventual choice to serve the Councillor instead of helping him reverse engineer the super-soldier serum.

"I would like to be able to get a list of casualties from the battle of Bolzano."

Ignoring Colonel Phillips' taunts, Steve made a plea.

"You're not qualified to command me, boy."

"I just wanted to know about Sergeant Bucky Barnes of the 107th Infantry Regiment."

Colonel Phillips glanced at Dio Brando, who was standing nearby, and it was obvious that Steve could not know the situation in the army unless someone told him, and he was silent for a moment before he stood up and looked at the thick letter in his hand and replied: "I signed a lot of letters of condolence today, although I don't know which one, but I have an impression of the name, I regret it." ”

“……”

Colonel Phillips' reply silenced Steve.

After a long time, he spoke, and continued to ask, "What about the others, are you going to rescue?" ”

Shaking his head, Colonel Phillips replied in a deep voice, "We have to focus on the big picture. ”

Colonel Phillips' answer was difficult for Steve to accept: "Since you know they are there, why don't you go ......"

"They are thirty miles from the enemy's camp, and if we want to rescue them, we have to cross the most heavily guarded point in the whole war at the moment, and if we lose more men after the rescue, we have to make a trade-off, and this is war. Of course, I don't expect you to understand this, after all, you're just a clown dancing in tights. ”

With all this said, Colonel Phillips ignored Steve in front of him and turned to deal with other matters.

Today, they have lost a lot of money and have a lot of work waiting for him to deal with.

Turning his head to see Colonel Phillips passing by him, Steve focused his gaze on the map in front of him, where the soldiers were clearly marked.

……

"It doesn't seem like you're going to follow the Colonel's orders."

In the improvised performance props camp, Dio Brando looked at Steve who was packing up his equipment and spoke.

"I can't watch so many people die there like that." Picking up his shield, Steve looked at Dio Brando in front of him and replied, "Moreover, I don't believe that Bucky died like this, I need to prove it myself." ”

"You're going to sneak into the local camp like this?"

Looking at Steve, who was dressed in rudimentary equipment in front of him, Dio Brando spoke again: "With your current appearance, let alone infiltrating the enemy camp, I don't think you can even break through the front line." ”

"I don't have time, a minute late means they're going to be in a little more danger."

Steve also knew that he might not be able to do it on his own, but Colonel Phillips was quite adamant that he had no help.

"Perhaps, I can help you." Looking at Steve, Li Ran, who was preparing to fight alone and break into the enemy camp alone, Dio Brando spoke, turned his head to look not far away and said, "It's just right, they're here." ”

As Dio Brando's voice fell, Steve saw Agent Carter come to him with Howard.

"Steve."

"Peggy ......"
