Chapter 07: Chapter VII Organizational Decisions
New York, somewhere in a military camp.
In the conference room, a dashing female officer was reporting the situation to her superiors.
"——Colonel Phillips, I think there's something wrong with that guy named Luke Cavill!"
After Carter briefly summarized the attack Dr. Erskine encountered at the venue of Tomorrow's Fair, he talked about Luke, who was listed as a suspect.
"I have seen the wounds of those German spies, and they were all killed with one shot! It is impossible for ordinary people to do this! Cavill must have practiced marksmanship, and he is quite good!"
The female officer concluded with a firm tone.
After leaving the recruiting station, the doubts in her heart never disappeared.
It sounds incredible that a young man from Brooklyn single-handedly took down a well-trained professional spy.
There are too many things that don’t make sense!
So Carter believes that this is probably a Hydra conspiracy.
By sacrificing those German spies, you get the chance to get close to Dr. Erskine!
Then, implement the evil plan!
Rather than killing Dr. Erskine, Germany might be more inclined to kidnap him.
The value of the Super Soldier Serum is there after all.
Whoever gets it can influence the situation of the world war.
The influence and threat it can create cannot be ignored!
Colonel Phillips, who was sitting in his seat, shook his head and said solemnly: "He has no problem."
"I have sent people to investigate! Luke Cavill, his parents are Irish immigrants. His parents died very early. He dropped out of the Bronx High School of Science at the age of seventeen - his teachers were very sorry because Cavill
My grades are excellent and I am very talented in learning! I get scholarships every year!”
"Then why did he drop out of school?"
Carter expressed confusion.
"You have to know that Irish immigrants are not welcome. Being bullied and playing pranks are very common. Therefore, Cavell often fights with people in school. When the teacher encounters this situation, he can only call the parents, but he
No parents..."
Colonel Phillips shrugged and said helplessly: "Every time after fighting with the gang of kiddies at school, he still has to face unreasonable adults. For a seventeen-year-old kid, this is not an easy thing to do.
Trouble."
Carter was silent.
She could imagine how difficult Luke Cavill had been as an orphan in those years.
"But...then where did he get the firearm and learn the marksmanship?"
Carter said hesitantly.
Through the colonel's narration, she dispelled her inner doubts.
However, Carter didn't understand how an ordinary young man from Brooklyn could have such accurate marksmanship!
"Cavill's uncle Frank is a veteran, the kind who has truly survived a fight on the battlefield. He later joined the Irish gang and did some shady dirty work. Now he has retired and become an honorary member of a branch of the Teamsters Union.
long."
Colonel Phillips informed his subordinates of the results of the investigation.
Carter has always been relatively strong and has excellent work ability.
It's just that she is a little obsessed with showing that she will not lose to any male side.
This gave Colonel Phillips a headache.
If the other party was not a British man and not a faction of the American military, he would not have such a good temper.
After all, the members of the Strategic Science Corps are very complex, with talents drawn from all over the world.
Carter is one of them.
"Luke Cavill is not a German spy. He has nothing to do with the Germans! I don't think no matter how well Hitler knows how to incite people, he cannot turn a young man who grew up in Brooklyn into a German spy."
"Of course, Cavill has indeed done some disgraceful things, but the Strategic Science Corps is not interested in those. It is not our job to fight the gangs! It is to fight Hydra, defeat the Axis powers and win the war!"
Colonel Phillips emphasized his tone, signaling to his subordinates that they no longer need to worry about this person.
He didn't want Carter to poke the hornet's nest of the Irish gang!
Those people are now joining forces with labor unions to help politicians absorb votes and interfere in elections.
In recent years, its power has grown stronger.
Even Colonel Phillips doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble!
Who knows how many members of Parliament Hill are standing behind them!
Then, he seemed to remember something and said: "However, Erskine seems to be very interested in those two people. Luke Cavill, and... what is the little man's name?"
"Steve Rogers."
Carter replied.
"That's right! Erskine wants to recruit the two of them to the Caspian training camp."
Colonel Phillips pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you think of this, Carter?"
Caspian training camp is ostensibly a place for training new recruits.
The real purpose is to select test subjects to be injected with the super soldier serum.
Erskine's expressed intention is undoubtedly to let Luke Cavill and Steve Rogers be selected.
Colonel Phillips didn't see any problem with the former.
Luke is tall, strong and powerful, and he took down three German spies by himself.
Even if he is not selected in the end, it does not hinder the fact that he will become a good soldier.
But--
Steve Rogers?
That little man with a thin body who looks like he could be blown down by a gust of wind?
It would be ridiculous if the Allies relied on such people to save them!
"If this is Dr. Erskine's idea, then that's fine with me, Colonel!"
Carter thought for a while and gave his answer.
"Well, I'll leave that to you. I want to see them on the bus to New Jersey."
Colonel Phillips nodded and handed over the task.
He figured out that with Rogers' physique, he might not even be able to survive the basic training of new recruits.
As for being selected and becoming a super soldier?
Compared to this, Colonel Phillips is more willing to believe that Adolf Hitler will find his conscience and immediately declare surrender!
…
…
Boom, boom, boom!
Luke returned to his residence and opened the door.
"Steve, can you tell me what this is about?"
Looking at Rogers standing outside the door and the frosty-faced female officer, Luke asked in surprise.
He thought that the Strategic Science Corps would investigate him, and perhaps pull him in for questioning in the name of assisting in handling the case.
As an important figure protected by the military, Abraham Erskine is fully qualified for this level.
only--
Steve, why are you so happy?
I can hardly hold back the smile on my face!
Could it be that being dragged in for interrogation by agents is a good thing?
"Luke! I can join the army! We leave for New Jersey tomorrow!"
Rogers' joy was almost like a volcano erupting.
The depression he had accumulated for many days finally dissipated!
Luke's heart moved and he immediately reacted.
This is being recruited!
Although the plot has changed, under the influence of the inertia of the timeline, Steve Rogers still embarks on the road to becoming "Captain America".
"I thought the process would be a little more tortuous."
Luke calmed down and regained his composure.
It seems that the plan to obtain the super soldier serum has taken the first step successfully.
"Luke Cavill, are you willing to serve your country and join this fight for freedom against fascism?"
Carter asked coldly.
As if I have the right to say no...
Luke glanced at the two soldiers standing behind Carter with their guns loaded with ammunition, and thought silently.
Since I chose to use this method to enter the military's field of vision, it aroused Dr. Erskine's interest.
At this moment, I won’t back down anymore!
"Ahem, since the organization has decided, then I..."
Luke suppressed the desire to recite a few lines of poetry on the spot and accepted the military call-up.
