The next day, at noon.

"Brigadier General Luke Cavill, and Captain Steve Rogers, they are missing in Area 3 behind enemy lines, and the reconnaissance team has conducted a careful search and has not found any clues."

The dispatcher reported the news he had received to Colonel Phillips, who was walking back and forth anxiously.

The latter's face was pale, and he didn't say a word.

The wrinkles on his face were huddled, and his eyes were filled with anger.

The dispatcher standing in front of him trembled, fearing that he would be affected innocent and become the target of the colonel's anger.

"Keep the search!"

Colonel Phillips slapped the table hard and gritted his teeth.

If Luke is still not found in the next twelve hours, then the military will have to put him on the list of the dead.

Once this news spreads, it will undoubtedly deal a devastating blow to the morale of the Allied forces on the front line.

The war hero, the legendary figure, who was still working hard to promote his deeds a while ago, suddenly died at the hands of Hydra......

How can this be explained?

I am afraid that when the time comes, not only Mr. President will be furious, but the Allies will also be held accountable.

"This is terrible!"

Colonel Phillips sighed heavily.

He thought that Luke would have a more long-term development and a broader future.

But who would have expected that a rising star would completely fall before it could emit light!

Even if Luke once created the amazing miracle of conquering Italy, the chances of surviving in the face of the Hydra base of up to 600 people, as well as those giant tanks and energy guns, are still very low.

"The last reconnaissance plane is back......"

Carter hurried into the makeshift barracks tent with a stack of blurry black-and-white photographs.

"Still nothing has been found! Hydra's base had a shocking outbreak, with nearby buildings collapsing and causing wildfires...... Fortunately, it didn't spread. ”

When Colonel Phillips saw this British female agent, he was angry and said coldly: "What's the use of saying this, Agent Carter!" We lost a general! The Allies lost a hero! ”

"If you can inform me in time, inform the Allied Command, and stop Luke's willfulness! None of this will happen! ”

"The military can't do anything with Howard Stark, a young rich man known in New York and the biggest arms sponsor of the Allies! But you're nothing! ”

"Agent Carter, I hope you can think through the consequences in the future...... By the way, you won't have a future, when the Allied Command learns this news, it will definitely find trouble with the Strategic Science Corps, and then we will all have to finish it together! ”

In the barracks tent, a storm of reprimands erupted.

Colonel Phillips glared at the female agent in front of him and lowered his voice: "I have said many times, don't let personal feelings affect your work. This is the first lesson of being a good agent! ”

"I didn't, sir!"

Carter bit his lip and shook his head.

"Don't be in a hurry to deny it, I haven't even said who it is, Luke, Rogers, or that playboy of Howard Stark...... Agent Carter, can you tell me, who made you lose your mind and risk court-martials to help him? ”

Colonel Phillips kept sneering, and then added, "I said earlier, women should not be involved in war!" Damn the British! ”

In the face of the discriminatory words of his immediate boss, Carter took a deep breath, his chest heaving, but remained silent.

Just as Colonel Phillips was about to inform the Allied command of the news, a cacophony from outside reached the barracks tents where the atmosphere had dropped to freezing point.

Faintly, applause and cheers can be heard.

"What happened?"

Phillips walked out of the barracks tent in exasperation, and Carter followed.

I saw that in front of the camp, the GIs were crowded and stood in two columns.

On the boulevard not far away, two familiar figures appeared.

Luke and Rogers!

Superman of the Allies, and Captain America!

They were followed by a group of captured Allied soldiers!

In the distance, there were huge tanks rumbling in, which looked like captured trophies.

"They're back!"

The GIs were elated, looking at the captured soldiers with energy guns in their hands and looking up with their chests held high with envious eyes.

They are like victors returning triumphantly, with high momentum and pride.

"What's going on?"

Colonel Phillips, who had come out of the barracks tent, asked in surprise.

Not only did the captured soldiers return without incident, but they also brought back Hydra's secret weapon!

It's a big win!

A victory belonging to the Strategic Science Corps!

"Superman for sure! He led the group to defeat Hydra and rescue those compatriots! ”

A GI guessed excitedly.

The others nodded their heads.

The propaganda of the Allies these days has already made Luke's legendary image deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The people who returned to the camp were treated like heroes.

The anxious guy has already begun to inquire about what happened and how the captured soldier escaped from the Hydra.

Colonel Phillips, who had just lost his temper, personally came out to greet the team - of course, he was mainly concerned about Luke's safety.

This young brigadier general, who is only 20 years old, is now a legend of the Allied Powers, a model of propaganda pushed out by the military, and an object of worship for countless contemporary soldiers.

If Luke really had an accident and died on the front line, it would definitely cause a huge shock within the Allied forces!

Therefore, before he asked to rush to the front, many high-ranking officials disagreed.

Even President Roosevelt, who proposed to return Luke to the battlefield, himself wanted the young brigadier general to stay in the rear as a propaganda tool to stabilize people's hearts.

How could Luke, who was just bent on laying a solid foundation, accumulating qualifications, and gaining prestige, accept this seemingly tempting suggestion.

Defeat the Hydra once and for all and lead the Allies to a real victory.

As long as this is done, no one will be able to accuse him of his merits.

"You've worked a miracle again, Luke!"

Colonel Phillips was thrilled to see Luke returning in triumph.

As for Rogers on the side, he ignored it intentionally or unintentionally.

After all, the Allies only need one hero!

Just like in the eyes of the world, there will always be only one sun!

"Someone is injured and they need to be healed. And, Colonel, I was too reckless in this rescue operation, and I will take the initiative to declare this to the Allied Command. ”

Luke accepted the compliment with a nonchalant face.

After taking out the four Enhanced Warriors, he and Rogers rushed straight to the Red Skull's command room.

As a result, the latter had already taken the plane and fled with the Cosmic Cube and Dr. Zola.

In addition, the base of Hydra is about to explode, so it is difficult to continue tracking.

As a result, Luke had to return to camp with a group of captured soldiers and a depressed Rogers.

The giant tanks, as well as the energy guns stolen from the arsenals, became their trophies.

"Mr. President, sitting in the White House, would never have imagined that he would receive your good news so soon!"

Colonel Phillips had a smile on his face, completely oblivious to his previous anger.

With just two people, they completely destroyed Hydra's secret base, eliminated two military factories, and the 600 Na defenders inside.

What an impressive feat!

Intuition told Colonel Phillips that Luke could do so much more than that!

When this war is over, he will receive even higher honors!

The youngest major general in the history of the United States?

Or even an admiral?

For the first time, Phillips felt that his imagination was so barren.

"This is a big victory for the Strategic Science Corps! I'll celebrate you a little later! ”

Colonel Phillips glanced at Carter beside him and said with a smile.

In terms of military rank, Luke is the highest commander of the camp.

He had the right to make any decision, except that he could not disobey the direct instructions of the Allied command.

But the young brigadier general did not achieve his ambition at one time, so he turned his face and denied people, and put up a fight.

On the contrary, Luke maintained an approachable and friendly attitude towards his former friend Rogers and his former boss, Colonel Phillips.

Lower your aggressiveness and let down the guard of the disgruntled military bigwigs.

That's what he really thinks in his heart.

"Is there anything you want to say to me?"

Luke saw Carter standing in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Welcome back."

The glamorous female agent was silent for a long time before saying such a sentence.
