Chapter 286: Prelude to the Captain America Incident
After helping Ivan Vanko go through the formalities of joining Hellfire, Anthony began to officially deal with the task handed over by Pierce.
Now that he already knew what Pierce had calculated, Anthony naturally wouldn't obediently enter the urn. Anyway, Hydra didn't limit Anthony to what means, he just needed to put Captain America in the hands of the Hydra people.
So Anthony was quite straightforward and dialed General Soth's phone directly.
"What's the matter, Anthony," said General Soss, in a deep voice, "I hope you can bring some good news." β
"General Soss, your words really hurt me," Anthony said with a smile, "Can't I call just to simply greet you, General Soss?" β
"Anthony, if you're calling to say these frivolous things to me, then I'm going to hang up, I'm busy!" General Soth said unceremoniously.
"Don't hang up," Anthony knew the other party's personality of doing what he said, and hurriedly said: "General Soth, you are still so serious, I do have something." β
"What's the matter?" General Soth said.
"I wonder how much General Soth knows about Captain America at the Captain America Memorial," Anthony asked.
"Captain America?" General Soth frowned, "What do you ask him for?" β
Anthony replied, "What would you think if someone told you that Captain America wasn't dead, but was sleeping in the ice?" β
"What are you trying to say? Anthony! General Soth said in a solemn voice.
"I got a message from some of my secret sources," Anthony said mysteriously, "not long ago, a scientific expedition to the North Pole found a plane frozen in the ice, and after their instruments detected that the plane in the ice actually had life features.
After investigation, they found out that this plane was actually the last one that Captain America flew in during World War II. So ......"
That's right, Anthony is planning to borrow the military's hand to snatch people from S.H.I.E.L.D. Why does a person who has been sleeping and frozen for 70 years get so many people to scramble? Could it really be that little bit of combat power that robbed him?
You must know that although Captain America is strong, it is only for ordinary people, if there is really an ambush, a fully armed elite special squad can make him fly. If you're lucky, you can even kill him directly.
So his value is not in his combat effectiveness, but in his symbolism and his potential network. You must know that Captain America is a combat hero during World War II, and this honor is an honor that he really takes credit for.
Among these credits is not only the merit of killing the enemy, but also the merit of saving the captives. Throughout World War II, thousands of Allied soldiers were directly saved by Captain America. These rescued soldiers may not be able to continue to stay in the army after being rescued, but if they still remain in the army, 70 years is enough for them to climb to unimaginable peaks.
Maybe because of time, they are basically no longer alive, but the network they left behind is still there. And these networks are, in a sense, not Captain America's potential networks.
For example, General Soss, who Anthony is talking to, is actually the proud protΓ©gΓ© of General Gabriel Jones, a member of the legendary hero squad Roaring Commando during World War II, so Anthony believes that even if General Soth does not attach importance to Captain America, once he knows the news of the other party, he will at least show great importance on the surface, and will never allow Captain America to fall into the hands of other violent agencies other than the military.
People are in the hands of the military, with Anthony's relationship in the military, and the pervasiveness of Hydra, it is relatively easy to snatch Captain America into his hands, far more than in the hands of the one-eyed director.
As for whether Anthony's snatching of people in the hands of the military will affect the relationship with the military? Of course not, Anthony's scientific and technological capabilities are so developed, he can directly discuss it with the people in the military, and then under the pretext of studying the super serum in the other party's body, he can directly ask for people to come. When the time comes, it really won't work, so let Dr. Fashion clone another one and return it to them.
"Anthony, is everything you say true?!" Sure enough, General Soth's face changed when he heard what Anthony said, and he asked solemnly: "This is not something that can be joked about!" β
"Of course, I would never dare to lie about this kind of thing," Anthony said with a serious face.
"I see." General Soth gave Anthony a deep look, and then he was about to hang up the phone, ready to send someone to investigate.
And Anthony certainly didn't allow him to do this, you must know that S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra are actually the same, they both have mixed in personnel in various industries around the world, and the army is naturally no exception. Once Soth starts to verify this side with great fanfare, it will be easy to alarm them, and once they use some black technology to speed up the salvage efforts, Anthony's plan will be in vain.
"Wait a minute, General Soth," Anthony snapped up, "there's one thing I forgot to mention. β
"What's the matter?" General Soth said with a slight curiosity.
"Now in addition to the members of the expedition to the North Pole, there is also a government department in charge of salvage," Anthony said in a deep voice.
General Soth couldn't help frowning when he heard this, because he didn't hear a word about it, so he asked, "Who is it?" β
"Someone from the Territorial Strategic Attack, Defense and Logistics Support Bureau." Anthony buries the tunnel.
"Is it them? No wonder I didn't hear a little wind," General Soth frowned slightly when he heard this, and then slowly eased up and said in a deep voice, "But even they are not qualified to receive our battle heroes of Milikan!" β
"That's right, strictly speaking, they should be considered subordinate to the United Nations Security Council, and they really don't have that qualification," Anthony echoed with a smile on the side.
"Is there anything else? Anthony," General Soth asked.
"No," Anthony chuckled, "by the way, I'm here to wish General Soth the return of the World War II hero Captain America for this country, and finally, good dreams." β
Hanging up the phone, Anthony pondered for a moment, but decided to have a double insurance in this matter, and directly dialed the phone again, calling Dr. Fashion: "How many copies of Fashion, Hawkeye and Punisher are there?" β
"About 20 each," Dr. Fashion replied, "What?" Boss, do you want to use it? β
"Why are there only so many left? Don't I remember that there was a full row? Anthony wondered.
"Oh, that's right," Dr. Fashion explains, "I've experimented with a lot of them, and if you don't think it's enough, boss, I can make some more for two or three days." β
"No need, I'll just ask, that's enough," Anthony began to instruct, "in a moment you activate five of them each, form a team of 10 people, and then arm them with weapons from the full-time hunter world." I worked. β
"Understood, boss."
On the other side, General Soss, who hung up the phone, was silent for a while, and directly dialed the phone of one of his confidants: "Fisco, come to my office!" β
S.H.I.E.L.D., Pierce didn't know at this time that Anthony had already stabbed the matter to the military. He was trying to lobby the one-eyed director.
"Is this necessary?" The One-Eyed Director wondered, "We're just picking up our heroes, not going to war." β
"Nick, Captain America is more important than you think. With him, we can take more control in the military and in the country, so we can't be too careful," Pierce said.
"Alright then," the one-eyed director picked up the phone, "but I still don't believe that anyone would hit Captain America's idea, you must know that the news is strictly blocked, and it should be impossible to hear any rumors outside." β
"Who in this world can say clearly," Pierce Thief shouted to catch the thief, "If nothing else, there are mutants on the mutant side who can bypass your blockade and get specific situations." You should be glad we got the news ahead of time, or else ......"
"I know," Director One-Eyed couldn't help but put aside the doubts in his heart for the time being when he heard Pierce's explanation, and directly dialed a number: "William, well, I'm Nick, go to the sandbox base and activate all the Scati Type VI weapons......"
