Bucky's safety

"Your Excellency is right!" The head of the base, who was a researcher, knew nothing about the secrets of Hydra and was easily persuaded by Baron Strucker to let go of the possible threat of Shmidt.

"The current situation is not optimistic. The battlefield on the eastern front in Europe has fallen at a disadvantage. Under the continuous counterattack, the front is constantly retreating."

"The Western Front is also in a stalemate with the Allies. Now there is an urgent need for an opportunity to change the situation of the war, so our plan must be accelerated."

"The construction of the Valkyrie Goddess has almost come to an end. Your supply must keep up. The current progress is too slow. From now on, increase the output by 60%."

Without the support of the energy conversion technology of the Tessaract, even if they use the latest bombs developed by Hydra, they still need a considerable amount to achieve the purpose of destroying a city, but their goal is dozens of large cities, the number of bombs needed is even greater.

"But these workers are all prisoners. I don't think they have the strength to do it." The head of the base said with some worry.

"Then use their remaining strength! There will never be a shortage of workers, We will always have more prisoners." Baron Strucker looked at the person in charge and said grimly.

...

"Hi!"

Seeing that it was Agent Carter who greeted him, Steve responded quickly.

"Why are you here?" Steve was surprised when he suddenly saw her there.

"Officially, I shouldn't be here." Carter put away her raincoat and sat down on the box next to the props.

Colonel Carter and Colonel Phillips led the Strategic Science Reserve here to deal with Hydra in secret, and their whereabouts were strictly kept secret to not startle Hydra.

"It was a wonderful performance."

"Uh... Yes, I just improvise." Thinking of the scene just now being seen by Carter, Steve explained a little embarrassedly.

"Most of my usual audiences are..." Steve sighed helplessly.

"Children"

Senator Brandt wanted Steve from Colonel Phillips to establish a war icon and drive the sales of defense bonds, so his performances were mainly aimed at middle-class families, and the audience was mostly children.

As long as he performed well, they will not be stingy with applause, but the soldiers are different. What they respect are heroes on the battlefield, not the so-called "Captain" who only shows on movies and stages but has never even been on the battlefield"

"I heard you are 'America's New Hope'," Carter said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Every time I go to a state, the sales of bonds increase by 10%," Steve said flatly, but there was not much pride in his tone.

"Sounds like something Senator Brandt would do." Carter didn't like these politicians.

"At least he asked me to do this, Colonel Phillips wanted to keep me in the lab."

When Dr. Erskine faked his death, according to normal procedures, he wanted to send Steve to a new laboratory for research, but just like the plot in the movie, it was used by Senator Brandt who discovered the value of Steve.

"Do you only have these two options?" Carter glanced at the juggling monkey riding a unicycle and wearing a Stars and Stripes uniform on Steve's drawing book and asked rhetorically.

"Lab mice, or A Dancing Monkey?"

"I know that you can do much more than that."

They followed Ray's advice and didn't tell Steve the truth. They created the illusion that the doctor died and the super soldier plan failed and successfully concealed it from every one, without raising the slightest suspicion.

Now that more than half a year has passed, the storm has subsided, and it is time to tell him the truth and let this "super soldier" return to the team.

Steve didn't know anything about it at this time. After listening to Carter's words, he glanced at her with mixed feelings but didn't speak anything.

"What's wrong?" Carter asked.

"Did you know? My dream has always been to go to foreign battlefields, to the forefront, and to serve my country."

"When I finally got my wish, I was wearing tights..."

Speaking of which, Steve was in a very disappointed mood, how much he wanted to be like other soldiers and go to the front line to fight the enemy, instead of raising motorcycles on the stage and beating fake Hitler to sell bonds.

At this moment, a loud noise came, Steve and Carter turned their heads and saw a battlefield ambulance with a red cross painted on its body stopping in front of the tent of the field hospital, a stretcher was being carried. On the stretcher, there was a severely wounded man lying on it.

"They seem to have just fought a bad battle."

Seeing this, Steve guessed.

Carter, who knew the inside story, sighed.

Seeing this, Steve looked at Carter, wondering what was going on.

She came this time to prepare Steve to join S.H.I.E.L.D., so naturally, there was nothing to keep secret.

"Two hundred soldiers went to fight, and less than fifty returned."

"There are survivors of the 107th Infantry Regiment. The others were either killed or captured."

Hearing Carter's words, Steve's heart was suddenly shocked, and he quickly asked, "The 107th Infantry Regiment?"

"What's wrong?" Carter asked vaguely.

Steve didn't care about anything else, he stood up quickly and ran to the headquarters in the rain. The 107th Infantry Regiment was his friend Bucky's unit!

Steve rushed into the tent of the headquarters in one breath, and the person sitting inside was Colonel Phillips, who was going to send him to the laboratory for research.

"Colonel Phillips, I need the casualty list for the Battle!"

"You are not qualified to order me, boy." The colonel glared at Steve with slanted eyes.

"I just want to know about Sergeant James Barnes of the 107th Infantry Regiment." Steve, who was worried about Bucky's safety, quickly explained.

When the colonel heard the words, he knew that Carter must have told Steve about the battle.

The colonel was angry that she secretly disclosed the secret to Steve without consulting him, although Steve would join SHIELD sooner or later, he didn't think it was a good time, as it would cause trouble on Senator Brandt's side.

The Colonel had planned to bring him back in a few months, when Steve had finished his tour, had completed the task of selling bonds, and was not so important to Senator Brandt.

He glanced fiercely at Carter, who was standing behind Steve while pretending to organize his raincoat.
