17 Chapter-17 : Future plans and Geniuses

"Yo boy, you enjoying your day off??" I heard Aldo speaking from behind me, smoking a pipe.

"Yeah, it's rare we get days off, it's better to enjoy, and it's kind of a special day for me, drink all you want!! "

"Haha, you know how to please people Bobby, so let me increase your happiness a bit, I got all the basterds a month off, and with the kind of harvest you bring together, higher ups are more than happy, hahahaha!"

"So, what you gonna do with a month off??"

"Well nothing exceptional, I just wanted to visit someone, I heard he may be a man of resources and intelligence. I will need something from him" I said as I imagined Howard Stark in my head.

He was the current era genius in engineering and energy field, it was too bad that Erskine had died, or else there would have been more cards to take now.

But this was the era of geniuses.

Like him, alot of great scientists are still alive, and from them, I can extract whatever I want.

Albert Einstein, the master of physcics and mathematics, Niels Bohr, master on atomic structure and quantum theory, Enrico Fermi, master of atomic and subatomic particles and energy, the man who made atomic bombs a reality, Alexander Fleming, for microbiology and antibiotics most importantly, penicillin. Alan wing for machines, computers, algorithms, the man who made computers a reality.

There were a lot of geniuses all around the world, too bad Erskine and Nikola Tesla died recently and Stephen Hawking was still a baby in his diapers.

But I can't complain, I am still gonna copy their cards.

These were best brains of humanity, that ever existed, the contributions their researches made were Transcendental for humanity's progress.

And Yes, the last one, Howard Stark, the mechanic, the inventor, the scientist. He was one of the greatest minds, his inventions, his theories, his legacy may be confidential, hidden by the hands of shield and hydra, but that man was responsible for leaping researches in energy sector, if his work was put into affect by shield, humanity would have seen space travel till 2000.

But whatever, I should focus on my current situation, if I plan it all correctly, I can meet everyone of these in a month or so.

"....earth to Bobby, you still here????" Utivich said as shook my shoulder

"Yeah, I am here, where you gonna go??" I asked as I came out of my thoughts.

"Well, I have nowhere to go, I was thinking of spending time in here, working a little extra, and yeah, as you told, still keep learning French and German." he said.

"Yeah, you never know when you need it in these places, what about the handbook I gave you?? You still got it?" I said as I smiled.

I had watched the movie, and some of their lives literally depended on how well they can learn these languages. Especially German.

"Yeah, how can I forget that, that makes learning these languages a breeze, but one thing you haven't told us yet, why do you think we would ever need speak these??" He asked us the same question they all asked me almost everyday.

But this time I gave him a different answer, but really just bullshitted my way "You know, my father always said 'one should know his friends closely, and his enemies even more closer', and when we are inside enemy lines, we should know them even more better, so first start by knowing their language, I guarantee you, it will save your lives one day"

"Yeah, you and your dad, his stories never end. So you gonna visit someone special??" He said as he winked his eye.

"Yes, I'm gonna visit Albert Einstein, you wanna come with me to see him??" I smirked as I said

"Nah, you keep that big brains of yours to yourself" he said as he took a shot of strong liquor.

"Well, you enjoy your alcohol, I'll go make some arrangements for my plans" I said as I leaft the bar.

I went towards the higher ups as I greeted them with a salute.

"So, you are 'Bobby the Butcher' we heard about so much, well, Aldo has explained me everything already, you can go on a month long leave, so tell me where you wanna go, I'll make the arrangements for you" Said the man who was sitting at the other side of the room, the current overseer of the stronghold, colonel Michael Sanders {don't search it up, it's a made up name}

I examined his card, none of them were truly exceptional, I already had all of them, but I still copied them as they increased the quality of my cards a bit. And as it was a instant process, it took less than a second.

"Thank you sir, I would like to be sent to Paris, I have someone to meet there, I hope you won't mind." I said with a smile.

"Well, you service speaks for you, you made the basterds popular even when they were a secret group. Well, it proved advantageous for us at the end, Basterds exploits are creating fear in enemies quite well."

"Leaving that aside, you are quite Lucky, there was already a plane going to Paris tomorrow morning, you can depart soon"

"And yes, take this as well, consider it a gift from me" He said as he took out a bottle wrapped in a cloth and passed it to me.

"A bottle of fine whiskey, from my hometown, give it a try" He said as I replied "Of course sir, Thank you"

I left the room as major plans were already in motion, I just needed to fill in small details.

I packed by bag as I called all the basterds with their ringleader for a meeting.

In a room, all of them were sitting in obscure position as all most of them were drunk and were mumbling something.

*Bang!* I banged the table as I said "I wanted to say I am leaving tomorrow morning!!"

All of the returned to their bearings in moments as I continued "Don't worry, I will come back in a month or so, I have some business I need to take care of, so anything you want me to bring for you from Paris??"

"Yeah, bring me the Eiffel Tower!! Hehehe" Utivich said while giggling at the end.

We all laughed at that as I took out as I took out a dozen or so books from my bag and handed them to the basterds one by one.

After spending six months with them, I knew what their interests were, so I wrote each of them a book on their favourite topics which may or may not be pirated(?) from my world (future).

"Naww, no more books, let's drink!!!" Omar said as he took out a bottle from God knows where as everyone yelled "Yey!!!"

I smailed as I also joined them, after being together and watching each others back for six months, we all were like brothers/close friends.

"To freedom!!"

"To freedom!!"

"To peace!!!"

'Now, where have I seen this before??????'
