SHIELD was in chaos, just after Phil reported that Captain America had escaped and was captured by the New York police. Everyone’s first reaction is… today is April 1st? Captain America...was captured by the police?
How funny!
If Captain America couldn't even deal with the police, how on earth did he defeat the police in the first place? Relying on sexy muscles to seduce German soldiers into heat?
But when they learned that Captain America was very unlucky, he actually bumped into Kai who was passing by when he knocked away several police officers who intercepted him...
And they believed it. Well, Captain America was actually captured by the police.
Then the next high-level meeting of SHIELD went into chaos. Some people requested that a team of agents be dispatched to rescue Captain America. Some people hope to use political means to get Captain America back from Kai, while others advocate a softer approach. Anyway, it's not like Kai didn't make a successful deal with SHIELD. It's great to do it again.
And just when S.H.I.E.L.D. was making a lot of noise.
Kai was also confused.
"Are you kidding me? New prank situation?"
Looking at George and Felicia who were so excited that they couldn't help themselves in front of him. Kai looked confused.
"How is that possible! He is definitely Captain America!" George, like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old brat who likes Gundam, said to Kai piously with a preachy spirit like Kai Anli's big wood: "I have collected Captain America. Original photo! That guy looks exactly like Captain America! I swear!"
The status of Captain America in the United States is probably equivalent to the status of Lu Xun in the Chinese literary world. He has countless fans. Every word he says, every message he leaves, every photo, every letter... It is sought after by countless people for interpretation.
Unlike Lu Xun, Captain America has left a lot of information, letters, and photos because he served as the spokesman for patriotic bonds for a period of time and went on shows and participated in rallies across the United States. So generally as long as you have money, you can still get it.
For example, George's collection is a photo of Captain America attending a patriotic rally. Very clear, original prints of this kind are worth thousands of dollars on the market.
"Maybe... he is also a fan of Captain America like you?" Although Kai is not very interested in American history, just like you can never avoid Lu Xun when you go to school in China, it is also difficult to avoid the United States when you go to school in the United States. team leader. So Kai still knows that Captain America crashed and died in a plane crash to prevent the Red Skull from bombing New York with a super bomb before the end of World War II.
People have been dead for decades, and now tell Kai that the blond muscular man is Captain America?
"Director, I have evidence!" Felicia immediately raised her hand and said enthusiastically.
"Evidence? What evidence?" Kai looked over.
"I entered his DNA and fingerprints into the FBI database and found no match. Then I contacted the federal Social Security Administration, but there was no match either!"
"Wait a minute? Where do you get the authority?" Kai immediately discovered the key to the problem.
You know, the databases of the Federal Social Security Administration and the FBI are not accessible to ordinary people at all.
"Um...I used your authority." Felicia lowered her head and said a little embarrassed.
Kai now remembered that Kai never seemed to care much about this kind of thing, so when Misty was his secretary, Kai's access code was given to Misty. After Felicia took office, Kai also did not take it back and continued to let the secretary control it.
But Kai still gave Felicia a hard look.
"This still doesn't mean that he is Captain America!" Kai still didn't believe it.
At this moment, the police officer responsible for guarding the blond muscular man came over and told Kai. The man woke up.
…
Tony and Pepper arrived at the 15th Precinct. At the same time, Tony still had a very complicated feeling in his heart that was difficult to express. As we all know, Captain America and his father Howard Stark are comrades in arms and also very good friends.
But equally well known are Captain America Steve Rogers and James Buchanan Barnes, also known as Bucky Barnes. They are best friends, the kind who grew up together and lived and died together.
And Bucky Barnes is Tony Stark’s sworn enemy who killed his father!
When he received Kai's notice, Tony actually didn't know what kind of emotion he should use to face this 'uncle' he had never seen before.
Of course, Tony will not give up revenge. The only thing that matters now is Steve Rogers' attitude.
This is not an emotional issue. After all, Tony is not familiar with Steve Rogers at all, so he has no emotional pressure at all. He needs to consider more realistic pressure. If Steve Rogers is determined to protect Bucky Barnes, this will undoubtedly increase the difficulty and cost of Tony's revenge.
Don't underestimate the impact Captain America has on today's American society.
Because Captain America represents an era!
He may not have achieved anything commensurate with his influence. Although Captain America has made considerable achievements in the fight against Japan, it is not comparable to those leaders who led the United States to victory in World War II, such as Eisenhower, Patton, and Roosevelt. The historical merits of these people have completely crushed the United States. team leader.
But what really makes Captain America mythic is that he represents that era.
He represented the power of the United States in that era to transcend everything and become the most powerful country in the world!
The United States before World War II... its world status was actually like that. At that time, the center of the world was Europe.
Captain America's performance on the battlefield greatly improved the national self-esteem of Americans at that time! You know, only the United States in the world has created super soldiers! This represents the scientific confidence of the United States and also represents the terrifying force of the United States!
In addition, the United States did brag a bit harshly during the war for political needs. As Goebbels said, tell a lie 10,000 times and it becomes the truth. The side effects of overhyping soon became apparent, and people began to overestimate Captain America.
As a result, public opinion pressured politicians. Even politicians have to hold their noses and sing praises to Captain America.
Originally, if it was just like this, it wouldn't matter. The shamelessness of politicians is definitely beyond ordinary people's imagination. When Captain America's influence is too great, politicians have many ways to weaken this influence after the war.
But as luck would have it, Captain America died. Died in the early stages of victory in World War II!
Or did he die to save New York, the United States, which was not affected by the war?
Now, there is nothing the politicians can do. Of course, there is no need for them to compete with a dead man for power. Anyway, Captain America is dead, so what if we give him a good reputation?
Just like before the Western Han Dynasty, Confucius's status was actually nothing remarkable at all. Like the founders of other doctrines, he was at most a sage. Even the Confucians were just trembling cowards who cowered in the states of Lu and Qi and were bullied by the old gangster Liu Bang.
But wait until you depose all schools of thought and only respect Confucianism. Confucianism began to develop vigorously, and finally forced the emperor to give Confucius higher and higher status. It even caused Confucius to become a saint.
Captain America's experience is similar.
I boasted and praised, but I couldn’t take it back. So as a clay statue, Captain America's status became higher and higher until he was deified!
Today, if you want to suppress Captain America, it is not that simple. Like China in the previous life, even though it experienced such strong suppression, Confucius still had a high status, one or even several levels higher than other sages!
So don’t underestimate the influence of Captain America on today’s American society.
Under this kind of influence, if Steve Rogers is really determined to keep Bucky Barnes... Tony will really encounter a lot of trouble.
So Tony took the initiative to see Steve this time, not so much to see this 'uncle' he had never met before, but to confirm Steve's attitude.
Soon they were taken to Steve's interrogation room.
Outside the interrogation room, many police officers were looking around and peeking inside from time to time.
Kai personally interrogated Steve and confirmed that the person inside was really Captain America.
All the police officers immediately believed Kai's conclusion. After all, their chief was not a mortal. Thunder God! Isn’t it impressive enough?
Kai could do nothing about the unprofessional behavior of the police officers. Again, if you don’t live in it, you really can’t understand the admiration of Americans in this world for Captain America. You must know that many of Captain America’s peripherals are top-notch collectibles here.
If they can get Captain America's signature, they can become heirlooms.
So after George took advantage of his authority and took Felicia to get the autograph and photo of Captain America, the entire police force was excited.
Men, there's no shame in liking robots and superheroes.
Kai doesn't like Transformers the same way?
So he didn't say much to these groupies.
"Is he in there?" Tony said with a cold face.
Kai raised his eyebrows and reminded: "I think you should change your attitude. He is not an enemy, Tony. At least not yet. You should fight for it, you should understand."
Tony naturally understands those so-called political methods better than Kai. Kai felt that instead of becoming enemies with Captain America, it would be better to fight for it.
Bucky Barnes really did kill Howard Stark after all. This cannot be changed.
The truth is on Tony's side.
"Strive for it? No need! If he really favors Barnes, then he is my enemy!"
At this point, Tony will never make any compromise, because in Tony's opinion, this is an insult to his parents!
"Okay..." Kai couldn't persuade him more, so how could he persuade him? Can he stop other people's filial piety towards their parents? That doesn't fit with Kay's values.
Soon Kai led Tony and Pepper into the interrogation room.
Steve was sitting on the table, flipping through a book about American history. Of course, he was more concerned about the history after World War II. After he learned that he woke up, 66 years had passed in the world. Oh no, after tonight, it should be 67 years.
He missed the dance.
When he looked up, he found that the police had brought a man and a woman. Steve was a little confused, who was it?
But soon, he saw a familiar shadow from Tony.
"Do you... know Howard Stark?"
"He is my father."
"What? Are you Howard's son?" Steve's eyes widened. He didn't expect that the playboy Howard also had a son, but he immediately realized that after more than sixty years, it was not unusual for Howard to have grandchildren. "Really? How's Howard doing? Is he okay?"
Looking at Steve's unabashedly sincere smile, Tony didn't feel any joy, but instead felt more intense hatred!
"he died."
Steve was stunned, lowered his head, and whispered in a low voice, "...Is that so...Did he leave too?"
Sixty years later, even if Howard were alive, he would still be in his nineties.
Steve suddenly felt the changes in the world.
When he woke up, his world had changed, and he seemed to have been abandoned by the world.
The world moved forward, but left him where he was.
But the next second, Steve experienced the cruelty of the world again.
"He was murdered, along with my mother!"
"What?"
Perhaps too shocked or too angry, Steve stood up suddenly, overturned the chair under his butt all the way, and smashed it against the wall before stopping.
"Who did it! Who?!"
The anger on Steve's face wasn't fake.
Tony raised his head and looked at Steve.
Steve was still waiting for an answer, but immediately he felt that the atmosphere became a little strange. Why was Howard's son... looking at him?
After a moment: "Bucky Barnes."
Steve didn't understand: "Bucky? What happened to Bucky? Did you find Bucky?"
Tony's heart immediately surged with anger. Why the hell did he forget about his father when he heard about gay friends?
"It's Barnes!"
Tony said coldly.
"What? What is Barnes?" Captain America didn't think about it at all, so he didn't quite understand. But he was not an idiot after all, and he immediately understood why Tony was acting like that just now. His face turned pale all of a sudden, and it took him a long time to say: "Barnes... died a long time ago! I watched him die!"
"No! He's not dead, he's treason!" Tony said with a hint of ridicule without even considering whether an old man like Steve could accept it.
"Barnes...impossible! He loves this country more than anyone else!" Steve refused to believe it.
Barnes is Steve's childhood friend. They grew up together. Even Barnes has always been his protector. Before he became Captain America, Barnes was his most admired person. Even the reason why he became Wanting to join the United States and serve the country also has Bucky's influence!
He knows who Bucky is!
He will not be treason!
Absolutely not!
Tony was also very straightforward and directly presented the evidence.
Although it is not direct evidence, it is almost confirmed.
But Steve refused to admit it. He felt there was a misunderstanding! absolute! Of course, there is good news, that is, Bucky did not die back then!
"Then why didn't he come back? Why didn't anyone know that he was alive? Why did he appear at the murder scene of my parents? Why..."
"I will find out! There must be a reason!"
Steve said forcefully.
Tony was silent for a moment.
After a long while, he said: "You don't deserve to be my father's friend. Steve Rogers."
"Tony..." Steve wanted to say something else, but at that moment he was at a loss for words. It took him a long time before he said: "Bucky..."
Tony seemed to have guessed what Steve wanted to say.
"I feel lucky that he's alive. Steve. Because then I can kill him with my own hands!"
After speaking, Tony stood up, turned around and left.
"Tony!" Steve stood up, intending to hold Tony back.
But Tony didn't pause and walked out the door.
Steve lowered his arms dejectedly.
At the same time, Kai picked up the phone.
"Ruth. It's me, Kai. Well, this time I have news for you, Captain America is here with me."
