Chapter 177 Follow-up

(Seeking dissemination, seeking collection, seeking tickets, seeking various support~)

After anxiously waiting for more than half an hour, the SSR finally got further information. Pro, Baidu search eye & fast, a large number of novels are free to read. Two scientists walked out of the Manhattan Engineering District, it was Robert Oppenheimer, the director of engineering that Grant had met before, and Enrico Fermi, a major contributor to engineering. Previously, it was these two people who secretly contacted the SSR side who was preparing for the raid through infrared technology. It's a pity that although I got in touch, I didn't have the opportunity to meet with each other.

The two men arrived at a makeshift position three miles outside of the SSR and Manhattan Project District, holding a plate of something. After being identified, they were ushered in.

The appearance of the two caused a whisper in the tent, the content of which was nothing more than worry about the American team and speculation about the situation. Colonel Phillips coughed, quieting the somewhat chaotic scene.

Then, the old man Colonel spoke first.

"Two doctors, what message did the people inside ask you to deliver? War letter or negotiation? ”

Hearing this, Oppenheimer and Fermi first looked at each other, then shook their heads at the same time.

"Those people are all gone." Oppenheimer said, "Now our guys are back in control of the entire engineering area. ”

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar.

"How is that possible! Our people have been guarding the perimeter of the engineering area! ”

Phillips once again suppressed the emotions of his men, and then asked himself, "How did they leave?" ”

"They didn't know how to dig a passage into the ground in the construction area. Even we couldn't explain how they did it in such a short period of time, and we didn't feel the slightest shock. ”

At this time, someone next to him interjected: "Maybe it has something to do with the Rubik's Cube of the universe." ”

Hearing this, Oppenheimer pondered, and Fermi continued: "Before Captain America came in, three or four hundred of them left through that passage under the guidance of a female officer. That's where we have the opportunity to get in touch with you. However, some of them remained, guarding several important areas such as nuclear reactors and atomic bomb assembly areas. It wasn't until twenty minutes ago that the rest gave up continuing to threaten us. All leave through that passage. ”

"Where does that passage lead?"

"We didn't know. When the last of them left, they blew up the entrance to the passage. Our guys are still cleaning up. ”

"What about the captain? And that Dark Shadow Warrior, where are they? ”

Oppenheimer and Fermi looked at each other again, and then they handed over what they were holding.

"It's an audio tape. The answer you want is inside. ”

Originally. While the Shadow Force was directing the general staff of the Manhattan Engineering District to prepare the parts for the modified plane, Oppenheimer and his scientists were attentive. Although they didn't know what the Shadow Force was up to, they had the staff secretly install a recording device in one of the parts. To be on the safe side, they also utilized state-of-the-art teleportation technology to ensure that they were most likely aware of the Shadow Force's movements. And they succeeded. Both the recording device and the transmission technology were installed on the plane that Grant had requested to be modified. Unfortunately, due to the distance and unknown interference, the entire thirty-minute tape could only hear the last few intermittent sentences.

“…… I've ...... him The Cosmic Cube fell into the sea...... Two thousand foot dive ...... Ice ...... I have to ...... There is no other option......"

There was a terrible silence in the tent.

"Before Captain America boarded the plane, we told him about the recording equipment in cards with large letters in the shadows that couldn't be seen, and told him to get the Shadow Samurai out of the mouth as much as he could. Unexpectedly, the recording equipment recorded the last words of the captain. ”

Speaking of this, Oppenheimer and Fermi bowed to the SSR crowd: "We are so sorry. ”

Phillips waved his hand: "It's not your fault. ”

Then, he personally sent the two out. When he returned to the tent, the people inside were arguing in two groups.

"I think we should return to the European theater as soon as possible and do our best to rid the remnants of Hydra. It was supposed to start cleaning after the island of Malta. At that time, the Hydra elements who were out on a mission did not know the situation. Now we've missed the best of times. If it drags on, they'll just hide. Then it was trouble. ”

"Yes, the remnants of Hydra must be eliminated immediately, but I think the Shadow Force, where hundreds of people are missing, is more threatening. After all, they are lost in our homeland in the United States. If something happens to the United States -- and they have the power -- then we will have to take care of one or the other when we return to Europe. ”

It was the members of the General Staff who said such things. Of course, their views were strongly opposed and even condemned by the other group. The latter is none other than the "American Gang" headed by several members of the Roaring Commandos.

"How can you say such a thing!" Durm Dugan was the first to jump out and lash out at the members of the staff, "What Hydra remnants we can purge later, but the captain is likely to be trapped in the sea or ice fields waiting for us to save them!" We should immediately set off and search along Canada to the Arctic Circle to find the location of the captain as soon as possible......"

"After working with the captain for so long, you cold-blooded people don't have any friendship!"

Being so accused, several people in the staff were also a little injured.

"Of course we want to get the captain back. But be sensible, more than 2,000 feet into the ice. There is little hope. ”

"yes. We don't have to be less affectionate with you. But in this case, the big picture should be taken into account. If you let Hydra catch its breath, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

Hearing the people from the staff say this, the Roaring Commandos became even more determined.

"You say the big picture matters. So let's talk about the big picture. How can you guys who hide in tents all day know the role of the captain on the battlefield. With him, both the morale boost and the threat to the enemy are beyond your imagination! Moreover, the captain has only solved our biggest threat - that dark shadow warrior, if we don't even do the least rescue search, not only will we be angry, but the soldiers outside will also be completely chilled! ”

Colonel Phillips just listened all the time. Looking, there is no intention to interrupt. At this time, he felt that he should let his subordinates vent.

So with the connivance of Phillips, the two groups almost pointed at their noses and scolded, and it almost developed into a fight.

It's just that those people in the "American Team Gang" are all big-headed soldiers after all, and they are no match for those in the General Staff Department, whether they are reasonable or talking. As a result, after spraying for a while, everything that should have been said was said, and they were at a disadvantage, so they could only abuse them in all kinds of ways, and soon they couldn't even listen to themselves. So, they had to find help. Peggy Carter, who used to be very familiar with the American team, is their target.

And Peggy Carter didn't interject before, and she didn't mean to open up next. She just sat there in a daze, thinking about what someone had said to her, and muttered to herself, "You said you would let go at the end, but I didn't expect it to be ...... this way."

Peggy didn't help, and several of the Roaring Commandos were on fire. Seeing that the situation was uncontrollable, Phillips spoke.

"Enough!" The old colonel looked around, and his fierce momentum made everyone instantly extinguish, "I have asked Stark to get ready, and he can leave for the Arctic Circle immediately." Dumdugan, you guys can go to him. As for the people in the General Staff, I will personally lead the team back to the European battlefield, and you can also go and prepare......"

And so it was settled. The SSR troops split into two routes, all the way to Europe to rid the remnants of Hydra and help the Allies put an end to the Axis ambitions; The other way went directly north, trying to salvage the Cosmic Cube while looking for the whereabouts of the American team.

After listening to the tape, everyone thought that the number one enemy, the Black Shadow Warrior, was dead. Even Peggy Carter is no exception. And the person she was thinking of was somewhere in the Far East at the moment, slowly moving forward...... (To be continued.) )xh118
