Chapter 51: Bucky's Safety

"Your Excellency Baron has a point!" The research-trained base leader was even more ignorant of the secrets of Hydra, and was easily persuaded by Baron Straker to let go of his fears about the possible threat of Schmidt.

"The current situation of the Führer is not optimistic, the Eastern Front in Europe has fallen into a disadvantage, and under the continuous counterattacks of the Soviet Red Army, the front is constantly retreating."

"The Western Front is also at a stalemate under the joint efforts of the Allies, and now we urgently need an opportunity to change the tide of the war, so our plans must be accelerated."

"The construction of the Valkyrie is almost complete, your bomb supply must keep up, the progress is too slow now, from now on, increase production by sixty percent."

Due to the lack of Cosmic Cube's energy conversion technology, even if they use the high-power bombs newly developed by Hydra, they need a considerable amount to achieve the goal of destroying a city, not to mention, their target is dozens of large cities, and the number of bombs needed is even greater.

"But these workers are captives, and I don't think they have the strength to do that." The person in charge of the base said with some concern.

"Then use up what they have left! There will never be a shortage of workers, and we will always have more captives. Baron Straker looked at the person in charge and said with a grim expression.

……

"Hey!"

Seeing that it was Agent Carter who greeted him, Steve hurriedly responded.

"Why are you here?" It was here that Steve suddenly met the goddess of his crush, which surprised Steve.

"Theoretically, I shouldn't be here." Carter put away his raincoat and sat down on the box next to him where he put his props.

Carter and Colonel Phillips led the Strategic Science Reserve Team here to deal with Hydra secretly, and their whereabouts were kept strictly secret so as not to startle the snake.

"Very good performance."

"Uh...... yes, I've got to improvise. Thinking of the scene just now being seen by Carter, Steve explained with some embarrassment.

"Most of my usual audience is ......," said Steve, who sighed a little helplessly.

"Kid."

Senator Bullard asked Colonel Phillips to take Steve, just to establish a war icon and drive sales of defense bonds, so his performance was mainly aimed at middle-class families, and the audience was mostly parents with children.

As long as the performance is wonderful, they will not be stingy with applause, but the soldiers are different, they really respect and worship the heroes on the battlefield, not the so-called "Captain America" who can only show off in movies and on the stage, but has never even been on the battlefield.

"I've heard you're the 'New Hope for America.'" Carter said with a hint of a smile on his lips.

"Every time I go to a state, the sales of the national debt go up by 10 percent." Steve said flatly, but there was not much pride in his tone.

"Sounds like Senator Brad's idea." Carter didn't have a good opinion of these politicians.

"At least he asked me to do it, and Colonel Phillips wanted to keep me in the lab."

At the beginning, Dr. Erskine faked his death, and according to the normal procedure, he did want to send Steve to a new laboratory to cooperate with the research, but just like the plot in the movie, Senator Brad, who discovered Steve's value, used his power to solicit and promote him to promote the bonds, obviously, his goal was achieved.

"Do you only have those two options?" Carter glanced at the juggling monkey in Steve's sketchbook on a wheelbarrow and in a Star-Spangled Banner uniform, and asked rhetorically.

"Lab mice, or dancing monkeys?"

"Know that you can do so much more than that."

Previously, out of the cover of that secret operation, they followed Chen Mo's advice, did not tell Steve the truth, and created the illusion that the doctor was dead and the super soldier plan failed, and successfully concealed it from everyone without arousing the slightest suspicion.

Now that more than half a year has passed, the turmoil has basically subsided, and it is time to tell him the truth and let this "super soldier" return to the team.

Steve didn't know anything about it at this time, and after listening to Carter's words, he looked at her with mixed feelings, but he didn't speak for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Carter asked curiously.

"You know what? My dream has always been to go to the battlefield abroad, to the front line, to play for my country. ”

"When I finally got my wish, I was wearing tights......"

At this point, Steve was in a state of great disappointment, how he wished he had been on the front line to fight the enemy like the rest of the soldiers, rather than on stage with a performance of lifting a motorcycle and slashing Hitler to sell bonds.

At that moment, there was a commotion, and Steve and Carter turned their heads to see a battlefield ambulance painted red on its body stopped in front of the tent in the field hospital, and a stretcher was carried down, on which lay a wounded man who appeared to be slightly wounded.

"It looks like they've just fought a bad fight."

Steve guessed when he saw this.

"These soldiers are the worst." Carter, who knew the inside story, sighed.

Steve looked at Carter and wondered what was going on.

She came this time to prepare for Steve to join S.H.I.E.L.D., so naturally there was nothing to keep secret.

"Hydra sent a force of two hundred soldiers to meet it, and less than fifty returned."

"You have survivors of the 107th Infantry Regiment in your audience, and the others are either killed or captured."

Hearing Carter's words, Steve's heart suddenly shook, and he hurriedly asked, "107th Infantry Regiment?" ”

"What's wrong?" Carter asked, somewhat confused.

Steve didn't have the heart to care about anything else, so he quickly stood up and ran towards the headquarters in the rain, the 107th Infantry Regiment was his friend Bucky's unit!

Steve rushed into the tent of the command headquarters in one go, but Colonel Phillips, who was sitting inside, was going to send him to the laboratory for research, and he didn't have time to be surprised, and Steve, who was anxious in his heart, didn't have the heart to be polite, and said straight to the point.

"Colonel Phillips, I need a list of casualties from the Battle of Bolzano!"

"You're not qualified to command me, boy." Stifled's straightforward tone, the colonel glared at Steve with slanted eyes and lectured.

"I just want to know about Sergeant James Barnes of the 107th Infantry Regiment." Worried about Bucky's safety, Steve hurriedly explained.

When the Colonel heard this, he knew that Carter must have told Steve about the Hydra dispatch, and the Colonel was angry that she had revealed secrets to Steve without consulting him, although Steve would join S.H.I.E.L.D. sooner or later, but he didn't think it was a good time for Senator Brad to have some trouble.

The Colonel had planned to bring him back in a few months, when Steve had finished his tour and had completed his task of selling bonds, which was not so important to Senator Brad.

Glaring fiercely at Carter, who was standing behind Steve, pretending to arrange his raincoat, the colonel pointed at her with the pen in his hand and said with an unkind face.

"I'll settle accounts with you later!"
