The communicator retreated to the door, and the next moment, Fury, dressed in a neat officer's uniform, hurried into the office, walking and running.
"Why, as a lieutenant who won the 'Best Command' honorary award last year, you are so impatient and rash?" General Chester said softly.
"Because I am the best commander, I have a unique understanding of the battle situation." Fury took a deep breath and said solemnly, "General Chester, why let Major General Kyle go on such a high-risk mission alone? If Major General Kyle and I lead the army and carry out a comprehensive oppression on Risang like the last large-scale battle, the possibility of victory will be higher!"
"Captain! Are you questioning my orders?!" General Chester raised his head and looked at Fury with a majestic look.
Fury gritted his teeth and said, "I don't understand! Please give me an answer, sir!"
"I know. You and Major General Kyle have always been comrades-in-arms, and he was the one who promoted you."
General Chester slowed down his tone and said softly, "You have to understand that this was a joint decision made by all members of the U.S. Congress and general officers of the military. It is not something I can easily change."
"I understand a little bit now." Fury said with a smile: "So, you are actually afraid of a hero who defends his country..."
"Captain! Watch your words!" General Chester warned coldly.
Fury ignored him and continued, "It was you who first promoted Kyle to the status of a war hero. Now you think he's too high, so high that you're afraid of him. So you want to take advantage of the late stage of the war and send him to the enemy country to fend for himself."
"You all think you understand everything, so you use the name of patriotism to create checks and balances and suspicions. In fact, you don't understand Kyle at all. He is a person who is very difficult to approach, but once you get close to him, he is very loyal. Moreover, the national power that you value is of no value to him."
Fury said this, as if he was extremely disappointed with the military. He took off his officer's hat and the rank badge on his left shoulder, and placed them solemnly on the desk in his office. "I, Nick Fury, hereby apply to the Supreme Commander to resign from my position as captain!"
Fury shrugged nonchalantly, turned around and walked out of the office, saying, "Sir. One day, you will find out how stupid your decision is - you are forcing a superhero to leave!"
General Chester stared blankly at Fury's departing back. Finally, he closed his eyes, sighed, and supported his forehead with his hand.
At this moment, he seemed to have aged several years. He no longer looked like a majestic and domineering five-star general, but rather like a helpless old man.
Chapter 94: The Well and the Sea
Hyland Street, Brooklyn.
With Kyle's residential villa as the center, outside the wall, within a radius of 50 meters, there are police checkpoints and armed soldiers guarding tightly.
Fury, who had taken off his military rank and uniform and put on a windbreaker, was soon stopped by two American soldiers at the outermost area as soon as he approached the area. "Sorry, no one is allowed to enter here!"
"I'm Kyle's comrade-in-arms, I want to see him!" Fury walked closer and said in a deep voice.
The two American soldiers looked at each other, and then took off their protective helmets that covered their faces. When Fury saw their appearance, he opened his mouth in surprise, "Why are you..."
"Long time no see. Ever since Captain Steve's plane crash and Major General Kyle's disappearance half a month ago, the Howling Commandos have been completely disbanded, and our members have been assigned to different units."
"Captain Fury, I didn't expect to see you here." The two armed soldiers looked at Fury with a little excitement.
"You guys..." Fury sighed, and then frowned as if he suddenly thought of something, saying, "Why are you guys reunited now? Are all the people blocking and guarding this place the original members of the Howling Commandos?"
"Yes." One of the soldiers nodded and said happily, "It was General Chester who personally proposed to reorganize us into an elite team directly under the command of a five-star general."
Upon hearing this, Fury's dark face turned cold, and he said angrily, "So you will obey General Yu Chester's orders and guard Major General Kyle who promoted you?"
"Don't say that." The armed soldier waved his hands in panic and corrected, "It's not a guard. It's just to protect the safety of Major General Kyle's family."
Another armed soldier echoed, "Yes, we are using military force to block this place tightly, mainly to prevent enemy agents from entering, and also to prevent the media from disturbing Major General Kyle who is about to go on the expedition."
"I am not considered an enemy agent or media." Fury said, walking forward and about to enter the area blocked by police cordons.
As soon as he took a step, the two armed soldiers stopped him with their hands:
"We're so sorry, but we can't let you in."
"Please cooperate. This is General Chester's order. No one can meet with Major General Kyle in the next few days unless he allows it."
Fury stared at his former comrade standing in front of him, clenched his fists quietly, and said coldly: "If I force my way in, will you kill me as per your mission?"
"Uh. Of course not!"
"Captain Fury, please don't make things difficult for us..." The two armed soldiers looked embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
"You don't have to call me 'sir'. I have already resigned my captaincy." Fury felt chilled. Knowing that he could not enter, he decisively turned around and left. "Also, I am ashamed of your stupidity! If Captain Steve were still alive, he would punch you in the face and beat you up!"
The armed soldiers stationed there were stunned, but still saluted respectfully and watched Fury leave.
A three-story villa, inside the bathroom.
Kyle wore a pair of large shorts, a white vest, and slippers, and washed himself without any worries.
The faucet was running, and he scooped up the clean water with both hands to wash his face, even his golden bangs were wet and pulled up high.
Kyle took a deep breath, and his handsome face gradually became serious, changing from his previous lazy and casual look.
He seemed to have returned to the battlefield, the invincible demon tyrant who dominated all wars.
"Let me think about what the first step should be. Oh yeah..." Kyle clenched his palm and pulled out a green item card from the card space, which materialized into a keyboard phone similar to a big brother.
After dialing a series of numbers, the call was connected in just five seconds, and Howard's surprised and hurried voice came out, "Is that Kyle?!"
"Who else in the world can communicate using wireless phones now, besides you and me?" Kyle chuckled.
"Luckily you took the new phone last time, and since we are both in the New York area, we can have this secret communication." Howard laughed, and then said solemnly, "Fury came to see me and told me some things about the top military officials."
He paused and continued, "As far as I know, when the president died suddenly the day before yesterday, a large number of people in New York actually called for you, a war hero, to be the first candidate. This should be the fuse that triggered the national congressmen and the military leaders to discuss the dispatch mission."
"Those senior executives simply made the decision they believed was correct when the situation took a turn." Kyle said coldly, not feeling surprised by this.
If we say that Captain America, who can get hurt and tired and has a perfect human physique, is still within the scope of what the US top brass can accept and understand, they believe they can keep him firmly under their control.
The level of combat capability he displayed in the battle to attack Germany, in which he ignored gunfire, was not afraid of bombardment, and shocked tens of thousands of soldiers on his own, has far exceeded the current understanding of the US top leaders.
"Their vision is still too low and too narrow. It is limited to the surface of things in the world. It is normal for ordinary people to have concerns from their perspective." Kyle said indifferently.
This era is too early. We haven’t experienced the 21st century: the emergence of genetically mutated humans (Hulk, Spider-Man, etc.), the collision and scorching of the light of technology (Iron Man, Black Panther, Ant-Man, etc.), the transcendence of myth and magic (God’s Domain, Thor, Doctor Strange, etc.), and the super-dimensional races of the alien universe (Guardians of the Galaxy, Thanos’ Legion, etc.)…
The world on Earth is still in the Second World War, and human beings are like frogs living in a well, full of awe for the unknown and fear of the powerful.
Most people thought that Kyle, such a powerful individual, would covet the water in the well, but they didn't know that he had already climbed out of the well and was looking at the stars and oceans outside!
Standing on the top floor of the Stark Industries building, Howard clenched the phone in his hand and said angrily: "No matter what, you are a war hero! You are full of achievements and honors. No matter how afraid they are, they should not threaten you to go to Risang alone..."
Before he could finish his words, Kyle's words on the other side made him stagger and almost fall to the ground, "No, no, they are not threatening me."
Howard took a breath and asked in surprise, "What? No threats to you? That's a very risky mission with no return!"
"There are many things in this world that can threaten me, but the top leaders of the United States don't have those abilities." Kyle smiled faintly and said, "Those old guys are all very smart. They didn't naively think of relying on armed forces and the orders of five-star generals to force me, otherwise they wouldn't have sent the former Howling Commandos to garrison here."
"Then why did you agree?" Howard on the other end of the phone was stunned. He knew that the reorganization and promotion of the Howling Commandos were not enough to impress Kyle.
"Go to Risan and force them to surrender by your own strength, so that the world can return to peace. I personally think it's worth a try."
