"Then what can the colonel give me?"
Keenly capturing Colonel Phillips' vague cultivation thoughts, Luke showed an attitude of asking for advice at the right time.
"The politicians on the committee can't be trusted! They are all a bunch of damn bastards! That Hydra killer was able to sneak in all thanks to Congressman Brand, but now he wants to throw the responsibility on us!"
Colonel Phillips cursed loudly at first, and then saw Luke's humbly accepting appearance, and his dissatisfaction eased slightly.
For young talents who are motivated and have outstanding abilities, the older generation will always have the idea of nurturing and supporting them - provided that you can show the value that matches them!
In Colonel Phillips' view, Luke is such a young talent worthy of cultivation!
That's why he said so many heartfelt words.
"Politicians only care about profit. They can be bribed, or they may do things that are detrimental to the country! The super soldier project is facing failure. How to make full use of you and Rogers next has become a problem."
Colonel Phillips, who has served in the military for more than 20 years, knows the ins and outs of politics very well.
"What the president wants is an army, but what he gets now is only two super soldiers. The ability of an individual on the battlefield will be infinitely reduced. Even if you can punch through a steel plate and catch up with a speeding car, you can't There was no way to withstand the bombardment, and there was no way to fly to Berlin and take Hitler out of his house."
Luke's eyes flickered slightly as he listened quietly.
If you give him time, you can really do this!
In less than twenty-four hours after loading the template, the increase in stellar energy has exceeded the sum of all the years of consistent training.
Luke could completely feel that the trillions of cells in his body were hungry for the sun's rays.
"After so much research funding, we only got two strong soldiers. To be honest, the military is very disappointed and no longer has any interest in you. As expected, your next fate will probably be to wait for you. Being used as a guinea pig in a laboratory to draw blood.”
Colonel Phillips paused for a moment, then changed the subject and said, "But I don't think so. After seeing your performance just now and your excellent results in the Caspian training camp, Luke, I am determined to give you a more important task." ”
"Do you know the Howling Commandos? It is a special operations team composed of the best soldiers under the name of the Scientific and Strategic Corps!"
"I want you to lead this team and become their commander!"
Luke looked surprised, which was a true emotional reaction from his heart.
He did not expect that Colonel Phillips' arrangements for him would be this.
Leading the Howling Commandos
commander
I wonder if I can see Wolverine Logan...
Luke's mind wanders.
He remembered that in a certain comic book, Wolverine was also a member of this team and fought alongside Captain America.
Maybe, a certain black braised egg will be there too.
After all, Nick Fury had experience joining the Howling Commandos in his early years.
"What about Rogers?"
Luke asked curiously.
As the saying goes, the bigger the breasts, the greater the responsibility!
I wonder if Rogers will make his debut this time and become a generational idol in the eyes of Americans.
"Congressman Rogers? Brand is more interested in him and plans to make him an ambassador to promote national debt."
Colonel Phillips shrugged and expressed his helplessness.
He originally wanted to recruit both super soldiers into the Howling Commandos to complete a certain plan of the Strategic Science Corps.
But Senator Brand refused to let go.
He fell in love with the "super soldier" gimmick.
I want to make either Luke or Rogers a household name.
In this way, it can not only promote national debt, add luster to political achievements, but also provide a platform for future elections.
Simply the best of both worlds!
"Is that really the case..."
Luke secretly said it was a fluke.
Without Rogers to shield him from the gun, put on costumes to perform on stage, and be the salesman, maybe it would be his turn.
Even if we can re-enter the military's field of vision through other means, we will miss many opportunities!
Just like now—
[Side mission: Howling Commandos, the first step of a war hero!]
[Requirements: Join and be recognized by more than three team members.]
[Reward: Scarecrow’s fear gas x10.]
"The task list is open."
Luke took the time to glance at the character panel, and a side mission suddenly appeared on it.
"It feels weird to travel to the Marvel world and use props from the set next door as rewards."
Seeing the look from Colonel Phillips, Luke gathered his thoughts and said solemnly, "I am willing to lead the Howling Commandos!"
The former was very satisfied with this answer.
"Don't let me down, Luke."
The colonel patted Luke's shoulder happily, turned and walked out of the infirmary.
…
…
"I received a call from President Roosevelt this morning. From now on, the Strategic Science Corps has a new mission!"
"We are going to fight to the death with Hydra! This terrible monster hiding in the shadows will be completely strangled in this war!"
“…”
The next morning, Colonel Phillips gave an impassioned speech.
Various researchers, as well as agents and spies, began to pack their things and prepare to move their positions.
They are about to leave New York, follow the instructions of their superiors, and rush to the front line in London.
The super soldier plan failed, and the Strategic Science Corps, which originally carried huge expectations, fell instantly!
Rogers stood in the lobby of the base with a blank look in his eyes, like an outsider.
He didn't know what to do and no one told him what to do.
Miss Carter, Howard Stark, they all have their own tasks.
Except myself!
"Colonel! If you are going to deal with Hydra, I want to join you!"
Rogers plucked up the courage and walked up to Colonel Phillips.
Rogers harbored a deep hatred for Dr. Erskine's murderer.
"You are now military property, and I have no right to arrange your whereabouts."
Colonel Phillips shook his head.
Of the two super soldiers, he could only choose one.
The rest belongs to Congressman Brand.
Phillips hates making this deal, but he has to.
Dr. Erskine was shot and the super soldier project failed. This series of accidents marked that all the research funds invested by the military were thrown into the water without any return.
As the manager of the Strategic Science Corps, Phillips has to bear most of the pressure.
Even if a lot of the blame lies with Representative Brand, it was the Hydra killer who appeared in his entourage.
But as we all know, this powerful senator has always been nicknamed "non-stick".
Phillips didn't know what the other party's excuse was. Anyway, in the end, the committee's accountability only fell on him.
In order to preserve the strength of the Strategic Science Corps, a portion of the allocated resources will be retained.
Phillips had no choice but to make a deal with Senator Brand and hand over Rogers to the other party - at least this was better than staying in the laboratory as a guinea pig.
"The serum is working, Colonel! I can go to the battlefield..."
Rogers still wanted to fight for a chance, but was interrupted by Colonel Phillips: "Congressman Brand said that there is a battlefield that is more suitable for you."
After that, he turned around and left.
"Colonel, he is also under a lot of pressure. Don't be discouraged."
Looking at Rogers who looked disappointed, Carter standing next to him comforted him.
She held the experimental records in her hands, with sympathy in her eyes.
Through body modification, the originally thin and short man has grown to over six feet (188cm), almost as tall as Luke.
Moreover, Rogers' muscles are more swollen, like a bodybuilder.
Luke, who is also a super soldier, is not so exaggerated.
"What about Luke! Where is he?"
Rogers suddenly remembered that he had not seen Luke since yesterday.
"I don't know, the colonel said he has another mission."
Carter shook his head. (End of chapter)
