Chapter 902: Steve Rogers' Speech, The Power of Idols
Aaron carried a suitcase and came to a forest with Hill. They looked at the Triskelion Building across the lake from afar.
"It's not like I haven't been to that building before, but today I have a different feeling." Aaron said seriously, "After today, SHIELD will no longer exist."
Hill's eyes twitched slightly, and he laughed dryly and said, "You're really humorous, but you can't amuse girls this way."
"I already have two girlfriends." Aaron raised his eyebrows proudly, then looked at Hill teasingly, "But you, should you still be single?"
"Is there a problem?"
“No problem, no problem at all.
But if you feel lonely someday, you can always come to me."
Hill rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Do you have to make such a joke at this time?"
"Relax a little!
The outcome of this battle is already determined, and all we have to do is play a role."
"It's better to be serious, so that fewer agents' lives can be sacrificed." Steve came over, followed by a thin man wearing a high-tech flight backpack.
"Hey! Long time no see." Aaron greeted casually, then looked at the man standing next to Steve, "Who is this?"
"Sam Wilson, an ordinary retired soldier."
"I believe you are a retired soldier, but you are not ordinary. Ordinary soldiers are not qualified to use this kind of flying device." Aaron said with a smile, "Aaron Gaius, just call me Aaron."
"Fury said you can handle Bucky." Steve was a little confused. "I fought him before, and he's like a sophisticated killing machine now."
"Don't worry." Aaron patted his suitcase. "I brought weapons, the most advanced sniper rifle in the world, an upgraded version of alchemical products."
Steve's expression changed slightly, "Do you want to kill him?"
"He's not Loki. He's not worthy of my best bullets." Aaron explained simply, "Don't worry, Fury specifically told me to keep him alive. The most I can do is make him lose his ability to move."
"What do you mean?"
"He already has a broken arm, if he breaks a leg..."
Steve's sharp eyes immediately fell on Aaron, and he immediately changed his words, "It would be a bit cruel to break another leg.
Don't worry, I know my limits and I won't make him unable to walk. At most he will have to stay in the hospital for ten days or half a month."
Steve sighed helplessly, "I owe Bucky too much. Since he is not dead, I have to bring him back no matter what."
"I don't really understand how you feel, but now that I'm involved, I'll do my best." Aaron said calmly, but it made people feel inexplicably at ease.
"Thank you."
"It's time for us to act, Captain," Hill said.
"Let's go!" Steve took the lead and led the way.
"Captain, I have a small question.
Is this uniform of yours a little old? And it looks a little loose, too. "
"My uniform was in tatters from previous battles, and this one was found in the Captain America Memorial Museum, taken from my own statue."
Aaron blinked blankly, "You'll make the security guard lose his job."
Steve: …
"I will return it after the mission is completed."
......
"How was your flight?" Pierce asked with a concerned smile as he led the way for the four directors.
"It's nice, but the ride here from the airport wasn't great," the female director said.
"It's a shame SHIELD can't control everything."
"Including Captain America." A director with short white hair said somewhat dissatisfiedly.
Pierce didn't care. These directors were in high positions and powerful, so it was normal for them to occasionally not give him face.
Moreover, he was in a very good mood today. Once Project Insight was successfully launched, the whole world would be under the surveillance of Hydra.
At this time, an agent opened a box and handed it to Pierce. Inside were four long silver badges.
"The identity authentication here relies on biometrics. This badge will allow you to move freely here."
The four directors had no doubts and put on the badges one after another.
......
monitoring room.
“I’ve left my car here for two months.”
"But this is his parking space."
"Then where did he go?"
“Maybe he went to Afghanistan!”
呲~
Several agents were slacking off in front of the computer when suddenly a piercing noise came from their headphones.
They couldn't help but cry out in pain and subconsciously took off their headphones.
“There’s something wrong with the antenna!”
"I gonna go see."
An agent stood up and opened the door with a magnetic card.
The next moment, he was pointed at by two black gun muzzles and took a step back in panic.
"Please move aside." Steve said calmly.
The agent immediately raised his hands, politely made way, and let the four people go in.
"Shit! Aren't your movements too smooth?" Aaron looked at the agent with his hands raised in astonishment and asked, "You are so skilled, as if you have rehearsed it hundreds of times."
"This move is part of SHIELD's training program. It can save lives at critical moments, although few people care."
"I mean, you don't even put up a fight?"
"He's the captain!" the agent said excitedly, "How could I possibly resist him?
Captain, can you give me an autograph?"
"I am wanted by S.H.I.E.L.D."
"The superiors must have misunderstood. We never doubted you from the beginning to the end."
"The power of idols is unexpectedly strong!" Aaron exclaimed, "I think I understand why Nick Fury said you are the key to the plan."
“Let’s get your autographs next time! Please turn on the radio first.
I have a few words for everyone."
"Okay, Captain."
Several agents immediately adjusted and connected all the broadcast signals to a microphone, and politely invited Steve to the microphone.
"Attention all agents of SHIELD, my name is Steve Rogers.
You have heard a lot about me these days, and some people have even been ordered to hunt me down, but I think I should tell you the truth." Steve paused and gave everyone two seconds of buffer time, "SHIELD is not what we thought it was, it has been infiltrated by Hydra, and their leader is Alexander Pierce."
“The Commandos and Insight were infiltrated, and I don’t know how many more, but they’re here, probably standing right next to you.
They almost got what they wanted and gained absolute control, and Nick Fury's murder was just the beginning.
If you launch the carrier today, Hydra will be able to kill anyone who gets in the way of their plans unless we stop them.
I know this is hard to do, but the price of freedom is always high, and I am willing to pay it.
Even if I am alone, I will stick to it, but I believe I am not alone. "
"Did you memorize the script or improvise on the spot?" Sam asked curiously.
"This line is very contagious." Aaron nodded.
"Now is not the time to say that!" Hill said unhappily, "Captain, you and Falcon know what to do."
Steve took a deep breath, "Let's go, Sam, we have to attract the Hydra's firepower.
Go around those three aircraft carriers, and if possible, go up and make a circle."
"Understood, Captain."
The two men left the cell and ran towards the deck outside.
"What are you still doing here?" Hill asked impatiently.
"I only promised Nick Fury that I would deal with the Winter Soldier. Others are not within my attack range, and I don't want to be attacked by others." Aaron said confidently, and then sneered, "The Winter Soldier hasn't come out yet! Why am I in such a hurry?
What's more, if we go out now, we will only face fire. Do you think I am as brave as them?"
Hill: ...
In the top floor office, four directors were raising their glasses of champagne to celebrate when they suddenly heard these shocking words. They all looked at Alexander Pierce.
Pierce smiled and raised an eyebrow at them, then took out his phone and fiddled with the screen, as if Steve wasn't talking about him.
"You son of a bitch." The director with white short hair cursed coldly, his anger evident in his words.
At this time, several agents in special operations uniforms walked into the office and stood behind Pierce.
"Catch him." A director gave a tentative order.
The special forces member immediately pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the director who gave the order.
"It seems that I have the final say." Pierce said calmly.
The four directors looked at each other in bewilderment. A disheartening fact lay before them: they seemed to have become hostages of Alexander Pierce.
At the same time, other Hydra members took action spontaneously.
Rumlow led his men to the control room. He strode up to the agent in charge of launching the aircraft carrier and said, "Advance the launch process. Send the aircraft carrier into space now."
The controller pursed his lips, feeling panic-stricken and at a loss as to what to do, but ultimately took no action.
"Do you have any objection?" Rumlow asked.
"I..."
The controller shook his head nervously, not daring to look at Rumlow.
He wasn't sure if Rumlow was a Hydra spy, but he didn't want to bet on it.
Advancing the launch process is just a matter of moving one's fingers, but if the Insight plan is really as the captain said, then he will be the sinner.
Just a tremor of his hand caused the death of countless people. A small man like him could not afford to bear this huge pot.
"Do you have any opinion?"
Rumlow asked again, with a hint of severity and murderous intent in his tone.
Everyone's eyes were on the controller, and the tremendous psychological pressure almost made him collapse.
"Sorry, sir." The controller kept adjusting his rapid breathing and forced himself to calm down. "I will not launch the aircraft carrier. The captain has ordered it."
Rumlow's patience was completely exhausted, and he drew his gun and pointed it at him, "Get off your console."
"He said..." Sharon Carter couldn't bear it anymore and decisively drew her gun and pointed it at Rumlow's temple.
Following her action, the non-civilian personnel in the control room drew their guns almost simultaneously and confronted the special forces team brought by Rumlow.
"The captain has orders."
"You're on the wrong side, Agent." Rumlow put the gun to the back of the controller's head. The cold feeling made him tremble all over, and he raised his hands tremblingly.
"Look at your situation first!" Sharon Carter reminded.
Rumlow glanced around and found that almost all the people he brought were surrounded. The situation was very unfavorable.
Rumlow seemed to have realized the reality, and reluctantly took the gun away and threw it on the ground.
boom!
The next second after the pistol fell to the ground, Rumlow suddenly pulled out the dagger from his leg and quickly slashed Sharon Carter's arm.
Feeling the pain, Sharon Carter's hand loosened and the gun in her hand fell down.
Rumlow immediately grabbed the gun and immediately opened fire on the agents surrounding them.
As the captain of the SHIELD Commando, Rumlow's marksmanship is unquestionable. He killed three people in the blink of an eye.
The sudden sound of gunfire is the signal for war. Both sides in confrontation no longer restrain themselves and pull the trigger one after another. In this case, the one who is late will be the one to die.
The entire control room suddenly became a mess, and all the unarmed personnel lay under the table in panic.
Rumlow turned and pointed the gun at the controller who was trembling in front of the console, closing his eyes and not even daring to turn his head.
But before he could fire, Sharon Carter kicked the controller's chair.
The controller had no time to react before he came into close contact with the floor. Realizing that he was on the verge of life and death, he immediately turned over and hid under the operating table, holding his head tightly and not daring to show his face.
Rumlow had no time to pay attention to him, but instead took the time to rewrite the instructions on the console so that the three aircraft carriers could be launched smoothly.
After spending a few seconds rewriting the program, Rumlow did not dare to stay long, and retreated while fighting, and withdrew from the control room.
Sharon Carter did not give chase, but instead joined others in a firefight with the remaining special forces team.
After several more lives were lost, the messy control room finally returned to normal.
Sharon Carter simply treated the wound on her arm, and sat down on a chair tiredly, pressing the earphone, "Sir, the aircraft carrier has been launched."
"Hold the situation steady, and don't let your guard down until the battle is over." Nick Fury's voice came from the headset, "We'll be there soon."
......
Ripples began to appear on the calm lake surface and the bay gate slowly opened.
Three helicopter carriers connected to satellites and equipped with countless long-range precision positioning weapons slowly rose and soon left the water.
Meanwhile, Steve and Sam had already reached the helipad and were heading straight for the three helicopter carriers.
"Captain, how do you distinguish between bad guys and good guys?" Sam asked.
“The one who shoots you is a bad guy.
There is no need to take it too seriously, safety first, don’t risk your life.”
"Got it." Sam opened his flight backpack while running, and a pair of silver-gray wings immediately grew behind him, taking him to the second mothership.
Steve leaped forward and landed on the rising Mothership No. 1.
After a roll to cushion the impact, Steve stood up and ran forward. His target was very clear, which was the positioning device on the aircraft carrier.
