Chapter 146: Tombstone
On the other side, Steve took control of the plane, which had become unstable, and swooped straight down towards the white ice field below.
The cold wind poured in through the broken porthole, and Steve knew his time was running out.
"Steve, you wait first, I've informed Howard. Stark, he'll help you figure out how to deal with those bombs! ”
Steve glanced at the indicator light representing the remaining fuel, which had turned red, and said with a wry smile: "Peggy, the plane is out of fuel." ”
"But you can skydive!"
On the other end of the radio, Peggy. Agent Carter was anxious, knowing what would happen next if Steve didn't jump.
"I can't skydive anymore, it's full of sea, and even if I hit the ice, by the time the Allied planes find me, I'm afraid I'll be frozen to death. And without my control, if the plane can't fall into the ice field, it's very likely that it will be dug out by Hydra......"
Steve told the reason why he couldn't skydive, in fact, these are not the main reasons, the main reason is the need of the plot, so Steve honestly did not skydive, and obediently fell into the sea with the plane......
(Note: In the reality comics, because after the end of World War II, the public's enthusiasm for Captain America gradually decreased, coupled with the change of the situation, so the performance of the Captain America comics has also been declining, and Marvel arranged such a plot.) It is only now that after the Marvel fever has set off and the Avengers plot has appeared, the American team has reappeared. So all of them are adjusted according to the market and Marvel's own performance. )
Carter's heart was cold, but in such a situation. She was also helpless.
"By the way, is there any news from Zhang Yang?" Steve remembered something else. Zhang Yang was lurking on another plane, and subconsciously asked.
"That plane exploded in mid-air. Zhang Yang's interception mission has been completed, but the search team has not yet found his shadow, and it is very likely that he has been sacrificed......."
Carter informed Steve of another bad news with a heavy heart, and Steve's heart twitched on the other side, after Bucky's sacrifice, Zhang Yang also "sacrificed", and now, he has also come to the moment of sacrifice......
In Steve's heart before, he didn't think about the possibility of Zhang Yang being sacrificed. In his opinion, Zhang Yang relied on his own strength to mix well in the crowd, and this battle must be able to pass smoothly. Who would have thought that at the critical moment, Zhang Yang quietly infiltrated the enemy's plane alone, detonated the bomb, and his life and death were uncertain.
He knew the power of the Rubik's Cube weapon, and the power of the Rubik's Cube bomb was hundreds or thousands of times that of the previous weapons, under such terrifying power. If Zhang Yang didn't succeed in escaping, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to leave even a little wreckage. And after the plane fell, whether it exploded or sank into the sea of ice fields, I am afraid it will be difficult for the Allies to find out, right? …… Steve couldn't help but smile wryly. Bucky, Zhang Yang, and three of themselves. It seems that everyone is dead, not even a corpse.
"Peggy, wait for the news to come back. If Zhang Yang sacrifices, please send a bouquet of flowers to Zhang Yang for me. If he's not dead, let him send me a bouquet of flowers......"
Steve hurried up and explained what was going on, and Agent Carter agreed. Then the white ice field grew bigger and bigger before Steve's eyes, until it finally covered the entire field of vision......
Zira!
The sound on the radio suddenly turned into a blank of Zira, Carter looked stunned for a moment, tentatively called Steve, but no one answered, and finally couldn't hold back anymore, hiding his face in front of the radio that had no sound and crying bitterly.......
…….
A month later.
New York, USA.
A dilapidated looking building, renovated inside and out, with a sign that reads as an office to the outside world, but with extremely strict checks at the door, everyone who enters and exits needs to be checked, and it looks more like a secret service.
A small car stopped at the door, and after a strict inspection, Councillor Brandt entered with his assistant, knocked on the door of an office, and saw the ...... that had not been seen for a long time Publicity.
"What's the matter with me this time?"
Brandt asked his assistant to stay in the reception room outside, and he sat down directly in front of Zhang Yang, and the two had a lot of dealings during this time, and Councilor Brandt also officially recognized Zhang Yang's qualifications and status that could be compared with himself.
Zhang Yang, who was wearing a colonel uniform, directly handed over a copy of the text, and a quill pen said: "This article was discussed between Major General Phillips and me, but there are some places that still need your help, you can take a look at it first, if you agree, sign it, and if you agree, I will send it directly to the people below." ”
Shaking his head helplessly, after carefully checking the content of the article, Brandt directly signed his name, and then sighed: "I really didn't expect that in the past half a year, you have become a colonel, and this newly formed S.H.I.E.L.D. department, these really surprised me." ”
Zhang Yang on the other side smiled and didn't speak.
A month has passed since the siege of Hydra's main base in the Alps, and most of the turmoil has subsided.
First of all, about Hydra, its three leading giants, Red Skull, and Baron Straker, have all been killed, Straker indirectly died in the hands of Zhang Yang, and Red Skull was killed by Captain America, along with most of the troops under the control of the two, were also wiped out in this battle, and the vitality of the entire Hydra was greatly damaged. The rest of the people, under the leadership of the most low-key Baron Zemo, quietly hid their traces, and even the Germans who were ready to settle accounts with Hydra could not find any trace of the other party, as if the other party had disappeared.
Zhang Yang naturally did not die, after escaping with the ejection seat on the big bomb, after trekking hard for half a day, he was finally found by the plane sent by the allies, and then notified the search and rescue team to rescue him.
Because of this battle, it can be said that the main force of Hydra was defeated, and the rest of the climate will not be able to become any climate for the time being, which is of great significance to the Allies, and at the same time, it is also a bad deal for the top level of the United States. Those nightmare Rubik's Cube bombs and two HO229s were also destroyed, so that the military and parliamentarians could finally sleep well.
Except for those who died for other reasons afterwards, the Allied forces in this battle killed more than 400 people, but only more than 300 people were injured, and almost all of those 400 people were hit by Rubik's Cube weapons, and even the corpses could not be left. Phillips personally came forward and wrote letters of condolence one by one, sent them to the other party's families, and also had a generous pension.
The more than 3,700 soldiers of Hydra, except for nearly 700 technicians, were isolated and investigated by American agents, and all of them were transferred back to the United States, and the remaining soldiers were all ordered by Phillips to be exterminated, and none of them were captured. It can be regarded as avenging Steve and Bucky, as well as the Allied soldiers who died at the hands of Hydra.
Because the impact was too great this time, the Allies finally decided not to reward or punish Phillips, and Phillips was also willing. He had to use this means to give an account to himself, and to everyone in the 107th Infantry Brigade and the Dire Brigade.
When Zhang Yang came back, he learned that Steve was still the same as in the plot, crashing into the Arctic Ocean in a plane, and there was no news at all, and the search team, led by Howard Stark, searched for more than two weeks and still had no results, but fortunately, the cosmic cube that fell into the sea was salvaged again.
Faced with an unchangeable ending, Zhang Yang could only choose to accept it, but the Cosmic Rubik's Cube was salvaged in advance, which made Zhang Yang's return a month late. Using the high-level authority of the newly established S.H.I.E.L.D., the Cosmic Cube was set as top secret, and Howard was given full responsibility for it, and Zhang Yang and Phillips were responsible for supervising it, and began a series of research.
The construction of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s base in New York, as well as some cooperation with the military and the CIA, required a person of sufficient weight to come forward, so Zhang Yang returned to New York, handed over the Dire Brigade to Perez to be in charge, and did the job of the director himself. During this period of time, S.H.I.E.L.D. has also been on the right track, and with the addition of a group of agents seconded from the CIA, S.H.I.E.L.D. has also become abundant.
After chatting with Councilor Brandt about some more things, and after sending the other party out of the door in person, Zhang Yang took a new female secretary with him, but he temporarily left the new base of S.H.I.E.L.D. Braving the drizzle, I drove straight to a private military cemetery, where a white marble tablet was erected above a new tomb with Steve's name carved on it.
The secretary stayed far behind, and Zhang Yang came to Steve's tombstone with an umbrella, placed a fresh bouquet on it, took out another bottle of whiskey, and poured it on the rain-soaked dirt under his feet.
Zhang Yang's voice could only be heard clearly by himself, and he muttered indistinctly: "Steve, although I know that you are not dead, but this is also a little heart, more than seventy years, some of you have survived." ”
Steve's grave was chosen by Zhang Yang and Carter, because there was no body, so it was just a well-dressed grave, and on the day of the burial, Carter, Phillips and others came, and even Congress announced the news of Captain America's death with great sadness.
And at this moment, out of the corner of his eye, Zhang Yang noticed that a man in a suit came over in the distance, it seemed that he was also here to miss his friends or relatives, Zhang Yang didn't care, but when the other party walked behind Zhang Yang, he suddenly took out a pistol with a flashing blue light, and the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at Zhang Yang's back!
