Chapter 024: Promotion
Gary was thrilled.
He hurried to the cave, carried the prepared dry wood to the beach outside, and lit it.
Soon, a puff of smoke rose on the beach.
Meanwhile.
Inside the cockpit of a warship.
"Sir, there's a small island up ahead."
Howard Stark said with a tired face, "Give me the telescope." ”
Through the telescope, Stark immediately saw the island in the distance, and there was a lot of smoke rising from it, and he immediately shouted excitedly, "Hurry, get over there!" ”
"Gary, Steve, it must be you, it must be you!" Stark kept muttering as the warship approached.
And Gary couldn't wait any longer, jumped directly into the sea and quickly swam to the approaching warship.
Five minutes later.
"Gary, great, you're still alive!!" Stark hugged Gary excitedly.
"Stark, thank you, thank you for finding me." Gary choked up.
Stark looked at Gary with stubble on his face, and the corners of his eyes moistened, "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive!" ”
"Quick, go get the food and the clothes." Stark hurriedly commanded.
Gary didn't say much, but followed Stark to the cabin in the cabin.
After taking a shower and shaving, Gary feasted on another meal.
"How? It tastes good. Sitting across the table, Stark smiled.
"It's delicious." Gary sipped his drink, "After eating fish for more than twenty days, I almost forgot the taste of other foods. ”
Stark sighed, "The Atlantic Ocean is so wide, if it weren't for the constant energy signals along the way, we'd have wasted another month." ”
"Energy signals? You mean......"
"The infinite energy that Schmidt used to make weapons, you and Steve should have seen it on the plane."
Gary nodded, "See, after killing Schmidt, that thing fell off the plane." ”
"Well, by the way, Steve......" Stark looked at Gary, his eyes revealing a sense of hope, but when Gary shook his head, this hope instantly dimmed.
"The plane can't change course, the manual operation is out of order again, and Steve he fell with the plane!" Gary said in a deep voice, "But I want to search for another month, and at least find the wreckage of the plane!" ”
Stark nodded heavily, "Hopefully something will happen." ”
Over the next month, several warships continued to search the North Atlantic, but did not find any wreckage.
"Gary, it's time for us to go back." Stark sighed helplessly.
……
New York, USA.
Headquarters of the Strategic Scientific Division.
"Gary, welcome back!" Colonel Phillips smiled and hugged Gary.
Carter wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at Gary and said, "I know you didn't die so easily." ”
"Sorry, Steve......"
Gary was halfway through his sentence when Carter blocked his fingers, "Don't mention the sad things, Steve did what he had to do." ”
After a warm welcome, Colonel Phillips called Gary into his office.
"Sir!" Entering the office, Gary gave a military salute.
"Gary, as the hero who defeated the leader of the Hydra, you should have enjoyed a grander welcome, but the current European war situation is at the most critical moment, and Councillor Brand doesn't want to destroy the image of Steve Captain America, so everything can only be simplified." Phillips looked at Gary, "If there's any problem, you can tell me." ”
Gary's face straightened, "Sir, I don't have a problem. ”
"You and Steve are the best soldiers, and for Steve, I'm sorry, but the war is far from over, so I hope you will continue to serve your country!" Colonel Phillips said slowly.
"Everything is subject to the commander's arrangement!"
Colonel Phillips smiled and said, "Very well, I am satisfied with your attitude. ”
As he spoke, he took out a badge from the drawer and threw it to Gary, "Ten days of rest, after rest, you will be sent to the 107th Infantry Regiment as a deputy battalion commander." ”
Gary took the badge and looked at the golden oak leaves on it, his eyes widened, "Sir, this is the rank of major, is there a mistake?" ”
"John Gary!" Colonel Phillips' face turned grim, "In view of your great contribution to the annihilation of the Hydra organization, the headquarters hereby approves your promotion to major, and I hope you can continue to fight for the country!" ”
"Yes, sir!"
Coming out of the office, Gary was still a little confused, he didn't expect that he could be directly promoted from non-commissioned officer to major in one fell swoop, although his credit is indeed not small, but such a continuous jump should be very rare in American military history.
"Major Gary, how is it, that's a good name!" Carter didn't know where to come out of nowhere, and said with a smile.
"A bit of a surprise."
Carter shook his head, "Hydra has brought great harm to the European battlefield, and being able to annihilate them can be said to have changed the pattern of the European battlefield, so you and Steve have a lot of credit, and the promotion to major is actually a bit low." ”
"Is this still low?" Gary glared.
"Of course."
Gary smiled wryly, "Well, I've seen too little. ”
"Rest well, you have to continue to fight, and I hope your luck will be maintained." Carter had a smile on his face, but there was a sadness in the corner of his eye.
"By the way, Carter, where did you put the infinite energy that Stark brought back?" Gary asked, thinking for a moment.
Carter paused, "In the underground research room, Stark's next focus is to study this infinite energy source, what do you ask for?" ”
"It's nothing, unlimited energy is vital and powerful, and once it falls into other countries, there is likely to be another Schmidt." Gary said solemnly.
"Well, you're right, I'll warn Colonel Phillips!" Snap headers.
After returning to his room, Gary pondered, there is no doubt that the space gem in the Cosmic Rubik's Cube not only contains huge energy, but also hides the most original space law of the universe, if he can get a space secret method like Wanxian Flow, he can quickly comprehend the space law, after all, the Cosmic Rubik's Cube is almost an ocean of space origin laws, and cultivating in such an environment, even a fool can grow up quickly.
"When the war is over, Big Guy Luo Feng should almost also get the inheritance of the Meteoric Ink Lineage, I am his younger brother, I should be able to get some inheritance and training, and then I must be retransferred to the strategic science department, at least I must be able to contact the Cosmic Rubik's Cube frequently." When Gary thought of this, his eyes revealed a determination, whether he could grow up before Thanos snapped his fingers, he had to rely on these Infinity Stones.
Of course, there are also secret methods that can be practiced on the earth, such as the temple where the ancient one is located, there are many magic secret books, and there are time gems, but Gary does not plan to practice at present, first, he is still a soldier now, and he can't leave the army without authorization, and second, the ancient one is a supreme mage, if she sees something, then he will be tragic.
Therefore, at least until he has enough ability to save his life, he does not plan to pass.
