August 1945.

The U.S. military dropped two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan.

In the same month, the Soviet Union, which ended the European theater, declared war on Japan.

In mid-August, Japan finally announced its unconditional surrender, ending World War II.

on a U.S. warship in the Pacific.

After a burst of triumphant cheers, Gary was officially awarded the rank of brigadier general.

"Gary."

"Gary!"

The veterans of the 107th Regiment shouted in unison.

"Colonel Gary, in view of your outstanding contributions in the European Theater and the Pacific Theater, the headquarters hereby confers you with the rank of brigadier general, and I hope you can continue to serve the country!" Smith, Chief of the General Staff of the U.S. Army, smiled and personally put the brigadier general badge on Gary's chest.

Gary looked solemn, "Thank you for the high hopes given by the headquarters!" I will continue to work hard! ”

After the ordination ceremony, Smith put his hands on the railing, looked at the endless sea in the distance, and said, "Gary, now that the war is over, what are your plans?" ”

"Chief of Staff, I hope to continue to work under you!" Gary said seriously.

"Are you sure? I probably won't stay in the military. Smith laughed.

Gary said without hesitation: "It's my honor to follow the chief of staff." ”

"Hehe, patting my ass, it's not a good idea." Smith shook his head and continued, "Tell me what you really think. ”

"Chief of Staff, in fact, I want to continue to stay in the strategic science department, although Hydra has been annihilated, there are still many remnants around the world, they are still planning for a comeback, and in the process of annihilating Hydra, countries have actually stolen a lot of technology, and even recruited a group of scientific research talents, secretly preparing the super soldier plan......" Gary said slowly.

Smith listened carefully, and after Gary finished speaking, he nodded, "You are right, the war is over, but the competition with other countries has just begun, and we in the United States are lagging behind other countries in this regard, and we really need a batch of fresh blood to be injected." ”

On the deck of the warship, Gary chatted with Smith a lot, although Smith did not reply clearly, but looking at his intentions, it was obvious that he agreed to Gary to go to the strategic science department.

And sure enough, a month later, in mid-September, Gary's appointment came down.

Strategic Science Headquarters.

"Gary, I really didn't expect that you would be transferred here, and with your qualifications, you can stay in the army and develop!" Colonel Phillips was a little puzzled, you must know that since the annihilation of the Hydra organization, the status of the strategic science department has been worse day by day, except for some old agents, the rest of the people are not transferred to other departments, but who knows that Gary, who has a promising future, will take the initiative to come here.

Gary smiled, "I'm a nostalgic person, and I can't bear to be Phillips. ”

"Oh, Gary, don't be kidding, I should call you a siir, hey, I can't imagine that I'll have a day to call my own sir." Phillips's face was also quite complicated, he looked at Gary and continued: "You really shouldn't be transferred, the current strategic science department has only one name left." ”

The two of them said as they walked inside.

Gary looked at the sparse staff in the corridor and wondered, "Didn't Stark stay in the department, didn't he provide the funds?" ”

"If it weren't for Stark, I think I'd be retired by now." Colonel Phillips said helplessly, "The headquarters is more willing to see practical benefits than dreams. ”

Gary really didn't expect the Strategic Science Department to be so miserable, it seems that the United States also has a hobby of Asuka Yuzo, "Colonel Phillips, don't be so pessimistic, at least my transfer this time has brought a lot of support money, and we can re-recruit staff soon." ”

"Hopefully someone will come." Colonel Phillips shrugged.

The two went to the underground research room.

Carter and Stark were working on the infinite energy block, and since Gary had arrived early, they didn't go out to greet him.

"Ahem, let me introduce you, this is the new Minister of Strategic Science, John Gary!" Colonel Phillips coughed lightly.

Carter was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "Gary, it turns out that you are the newly transferred minister?!" ”

Stark was also stunned, and after reacting, he couldn't help but joke: "It seems that we don't need to look at Colonel Phillips's face in the future." ”

Hearing this, Phillips's face suddenly darkened.

"Gary, you shouldn't be here." Carter stepped forward.

"I'm already here." Gary smiled and changed the subject, "How's that?" Did you come up with something? ”

As soon as it came to work, Stark became interested, but he shook his head and said: "There is no progress yet, this infinite energy source has a huge amount of energy, and if you want to use it, you need very sophisticated instruments, if Dr. Erskine is still here, he will definitely be able to build it." ”

"Don't rush, take your time, I think there will always be a harvest." Feeling the rich spatial fluctuations around him, Gary's eyes were faintly excited.

……

Yangzhou City.

Mingyue Community.

After Gary was successfully transferred to the Strategic Science Department, he focused on Luo Hua, after all, he was likely to deal with various insidious methods from Luo Feng's enemy Li Yao.

"It's been a year since Xiaofeng left." In the living room, Gong Xinlan sighed again and again, although there was still a glimmer of hope in her heart, but as time went by, this glimmer of hope became more and more slim.

Luo Hua comforted: "Mom, my brother Luo Feng will definitely come back, and soon." ”

Gong Xinlan squeezed out a smile on her face, she knew that Luo Hua was comforting herself, it had been a year, and if she could come back, she would have come back a long time ago.

In the afternoon, an announcement was made on the official website of the Extreme Martial Arts Gym.

"Victory over Luo Feng Because he has been in the ancient civilization relics for more than a year, the chance of survival is zero, and the martial arts hall has ruled that Luo Feng is dead, and the memorial service will be held tomorrow afternoon."

The news is out.

The only remaining hope suddenly collapsed, Gong Xinlan and Luo Hongguo couldn't bear the blow, and fainted directly.

Luo Hua hurriedly sent the second elder to the hospital, and it was not until the evening that they woke up, but they were in a bad mood.

Yaofeng Mountaintop Villa in Jiangnan Landscape Community.

"Haha, I'm so happy, happy, the Extreme Martial Arts Hall has finally confirmed that Luo Feng is dead, hahaha!" Li Yao laughed happily.

Venina was also very happy, squinting her eyes and humming: "Although we didn't kill Luo Feng with our own hands, he still has relatives, and I want to make them worse than dead!" ”

"Yes, let them live rather than die." Li Yao's eyes revealed a ruthlessness, "I've been waiting, waiting for such an opportunity, and now it's finally here!" ”

Li Yao clenched his fists, looked at Venina and said, "This time I arranged the forces of the HR Alliance, there should be no one to stop it." ”

"People are dead, who cares!" Venina said disdainfully.

"Then let's start, first destroy them psychologically!" Li Yao said viciously.

Venina nodded, but as she was about to make a call, her phone rang.

"What? The Extreme Martial Arts Gym intervenes and doesn't let us retaliate?! ”

After hanging up the phone, Venina's face was completely gloomy.
