Chapter 497: Tanks
"You have no right to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, this is an internal matter of Canada, Avengers!"
Hearing Natasha's answer, the expression on the general's face suddenly became a little gloomy.
"Our job is to keep the world safe."
As an agent, Natasha naturally couldn't be easily shaken by a few words from the general.
What's more, looking at the huge creature behind her, Natasha didn't think that Canada alone could control such a behemoth.
Excessive greed will only invite disaster.
"Looks like we're out of talk, Avengers."
Natasha's reply has basically cut off the possibility of negotiations between the Avengers and Canada, especially for the general, as a hawkish soldier, he will never allow the giant monster to fall into the hands of the Avengers and even the American forces behind it.
Iron Man Tony Stark, one of the Avengers, has a close relationship with the American military, and the General naturally regards the Avengers he is involved in as America's minions.
"In that case, I can't let you leave the base."
As the words fell, the general retreated slightly, exposing the soldiers with loaded guns behind him, they raised the dense muzzles of their guns and turned to Steve and Natasha in front of them, while the general continued: "Even if you are powerful avengers, let me fall under the bullets, everyone, shoot." ”
Raising his arm and waving forward slightly, with the general's command, countless guns erupted tongues of fire aimed at the two Avengers in front of him.
"Be careful!"
In the face of these surging bullets, Steve did not hesitate to raise the shield in his hand to protect Natasha.
A large number of dense bullets landed on the shield, leaving a squashed shell in front of Steve in a matter of seconds.
A few minutes later, as the bullets in the soldiers' hands were fired, a large amount of gunpowder smoke filled the entire base, and a few seconds later, as the smoke cleared, the two Avengers behind the shields were unscathed.
Although the threat of bullets is not weak, it is obviously not as threatening as imagined against Captain America, who has a vibranium shield.
"Is this the power of superheroes?"
Intuitively feeling Captain America's superhuman power is much more shocking than what you see from the data screen.
Looking at Steve holding his shield high in front of him, the expression on the general's face changed, he turned his head to look at the soldiers behind him who were obviously in a commotion, and immediately spoke: "What are you panicking, even if it is the Avengers, they are just two people at the moment, no matter how strong the Avengers are, I don't believe they can still resist the power of the cannonball." ”
As a military base, the general does not have to worry about arms at all.
Sure enough, as his words fell, soon a soldier with a rocket launcher aimed at Steve and the others.
"Captain, will your shield be able to block rocket artillery attacks?"
Facing the rocket launcher that appeared in front of her, even Natasha's expression changed slightly.
Of course, her change was not because she was afraid of the power of the rocket artillery, but because she was worried about destroying the computer data behind her in the aftermath of the blast explosion.
Glancing at the USB flash drive plugged into the computer behind her, Natasha's face showed a rare look of hesitation.
"It shouldn't be a big problem."
In response to Natasha's inquiry, Steve glanced down at the vibranium shield in his hand.
Although he did not try to block the rocket artillery attacks directly with his shield, he did use the shield's strong defense to block many attacks that were no less than the explosion of a cannonball.
Hearing Captain America's answer, Natasha withdrew her gaze from the USB flash drive behind her, and the expression on her face immediately became firm: "In that case, then the captain can rely on you next, don't let the explosion of the cannonball destroy the data cracking work." ”
"Leave it to me."
Taking Natasha's trust, Steve tightened the shield in his hand and took a deep breath, stepping out of his legs and making a resisting motion.
"Do you think that this shield alone will be able to withstand the damage of rocket artillery?"
Seeing Captain America's movements in his eyes, the general couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and shouted with an expression of disbelief: "Since you are so confident, then I will fulfill you, and Captain America will die with your stupid confidence!" ”
Bang –
Following the general's words, the soldiers behind him pulled the trigger without hesitation, and with a sharp firing sound, the bazooka was launched with white smoke.
"It's coming!"
The rockets flew extremely fast, and if it weren't for Steve's superhuman reflexes strengthened by the Super Soldier Serum, he might not have been able to react to the flying rockets at all.
Seeing the rocket flying with white smoke, Steve instinctively raised his shield.
Boom!
The rocket hit the shield, and the powerful impact formed in an instant was directly absorbed by the vibranium in the shield, and Steve moved the shield in his hand to seize the buffer of this moment, and actually changed the flight trajectory of the rocket with his superhuman strength.
Boom –
Under the general's gaze, the rocket slashed across the smooth surface of the shield, and in a turn, it landed on the head of the huge monster not far away, producing a violent explosion.
Li Ran: "......"
"What?!"
Inside the base, seeing that the rocket actually landed on the huge monster under Steve's resistance, the expression on the general's face suddenly became a little nervous.
However, a few seconds later, as the aftermath of the explosion dissipated, and when the general saw that even the power of the explosion of the rocket was only a few small cracks in the position of the head, the general's original heart finally relaxed. What followed was anger at Steve and Natasha who had caused all this.
"Okay, good, it's worthy of the avengers who once defeated the aliens and saved the world, it seems that even if you use rocket artillery as a means of attack, it will be difficult to cause too much damage to you."
"Actually, General."
Holding the shield in front of him, Steve looked at the general in front of him, frowned, and tried to persuade the other party to give up: "We don't have to be opponents, we don't know about the existence of this huge creature, and rashly researching it is likely to lead to disaster, it is better to choose to stop now, maybe it's not too late." ”
"Stop?!"
Steve's attitude was sincere, but apparently, he could not convince the general who had already made a decision.
"In your eyes, Canada should be prostrate at the feet of the United States, obediently be a dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy, begging for a bone from its master, Captain America."
"That's not what I meant, General."
The general's response made Steve frown.
Judging from the attitude of the other party, it is obvious that he has a deep prejudice against the United States, and because of this, he is implicated in the Avengers.
Of course, from a certain point of view, such an implication is not too surprising.
After all, whoever calls Steve is called Captain America, as a superhero represented by the American spirit, he can indeed represent the American country in some ways.
Although, realistically speaking, Steve, as a fighter, himself does not agree with some of the practices of White House politicians, but in the eyes of generals and others, there will be no such thoughts.
"Captain, it's all right."
On the other hand, Steve's conversation with the General was not going well, but on the other hand, Natasha successfully cracked and copied all the research data on the giant creatures in the Canadian base.
Reaching out and unplugging the USB flash drive plugged into the interface, Natasha carefully put it away while reminding Captain America in front of her.
Now that the data has been cracked, it also means that the biggest goal of the two's trip has been completed, and the next thing they need to think about is how to leave the base surrounded by soldiers with loaded guns in front of them.
Fortunately, as a super agent, Natasha is well prepared.
Sweeping her gaze over the crowd in front of her, she quietly reached out and pressed a communication device on her body.
At the same time, a faint blue light flashed in Ultron's eyes, which were lurking in the vents of the base.
Standing in front of Natasha, covering up a series of actions with her data, Steve's eyes flickered when he heard her reminder, but his expression remained silent.
Plenty of combat experience has taught Steve that the more critical the moment, the more important it is to calm down.
In front of him, although the general couldn't see Natasha's small movements clearly through Steve's strong body, his keen awareness as a soldier still made him sense that something was wrong.
Frowning and sweeping over the two Avengers in front of him, the general once again issued the order to attack: "Don't care about the destruction of the base, aim at the Avengers for me!" ”
Under the vague uneasiness urging in his heart, the general no longer cared about the precious research materials in the laboratory, in fact, he knew very well that as long as the huge monster was still in their hands, the so-called research materials would not disappear, so without hesitation, he immediately gave orders to the soldiers behind him.
Bang bang bang –
With the general's order, the soldiers in the base suddenly relieved the last trace of worry in their hearts.
They turned their guns to Captain America, and a large number of bullets came out as if they didn't want money.
"Looks like the other party has sensed something!"
Although these flying bullets could not pose much of a threat to Steve, who held the vibranium shield, the dense bullets clearly caused a significant obstacle to the retreat of the two Avengers.
"In any case, the other party is also a general of the Maritime Command of the Canadian Armed Forces."
Using Steve's broad back as a barrier, Natasha's afterglow swept over the soldiers on the opposite side who kept shooting, and she couldn't help frowning.
"However, captain, as long as you hold on and wait for help to arrive, the situation will be very different."
"Don't worry, I'll stick to it."
In the face of Natasha's persuasion, Steve held the shield in his hand and took another step forward against the raining bullets in front of him, and said to Natasha behind him.
Click, click, click-
Wrapped in these bullets, Steve was like a mountain, fending off all the attacks in front of Natasha.
However, even the most powerful defenses have their limits, and while Steve's vibranium shield is indestructible, the size of the shield itself limits its ability to move further. Holding a shield to constantly fend off the surging bullets in front of you.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of shaking on the ground of the base.
"Shall it?"
Feeling the vibration of the ground, the expression on Natasha's face changed, and a restless guess came over her.
Unsettling premonitions often come true.
Under Natasha's uneasy gaze, in a tremor of distance, a huge tank actually drove into the base where the giant monster was.
After discovering that neither bullets nor rockets could do much damage to the Avengers, the General decisively called on the armed tanks in the base as a last resort against the Avengers.
"I don't believe that under the shells, you can still be as tenacious as you are now, Captain America."
The Leopard 2A6M is Canada's main tank tank on loan from Germany.
With a length of more than 9 meters, a width of 3.42 meters, and a weight of about 60 tons, it is a complete war machine.
In particular, after being modified by the Canadian military, the front arc of the turret is equipped with new enhanced armor components; The all-electric system replaces the original hydraulic fire control and stabilization system, and at the same time improves the 120 mm gun anti-recoil device, with the commander's top PERIR17A2 aiming has a thermal imaging channel; A TV camera at the rear of the vehicle is connected to a monitor screen that allows the driver to turn quickly and safely, and with improved laser rangefinders and data processors, the tank is arguably one of the most feared weapons in the entire military base.
In fact, it is precisely because of the presence of this tank that the general is so calm in the face of the Avengers infiltrating.
"Feel the power of modern technology, Avengers."
His eyes stayed on the two Avengers in front of him for a moment, and the general immediately made a decision and directly gave the order to attack the tank soldiers in the tank.
Although, theoretically, as the Admiral of the Maritime Command of the Canadian Armed Forces, the relationship with the Army Corps to which the tank crews in the tank belong are not very good.
However, with Prime Minister Justin's instructions, the general was able to command the army soldiers at these military bases to fight for themselves.
Boom –
Under the general's order, the soldier controlled the muzzle on the tank and quickly turned to the solemn look of Captain America in front of him.
In the next moment, with a deafening explosion, the cannon fired from the muzzle of the cannon tore through the air, and it fell in front of Steve like a roaring beast.
