NOVEL WEB Marvel World New Magneto
257 Erskine's Gift
"Crazy, really crazy." When he sat down, Barry was still murmuring words, but he couldn't help it. Under Eric's powerful threat, it seemed that there was nowhere to go. A few bottom-level sailors could know What, you can only follow his command as in the past.
I hope this time it can be as smooth as the last ship capture operation - how is it possible?
Even the most uneducated people know that Italy is a large country with a population of tens of millions. It is a fantasy that nine people want to seize the capital of such a country!
But Eric had his own ideas.
A serious economic crisis broke out in this country as early as 1940. The output of steel and coal, the basic indicators of national strength, was only a fraction of the output of the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Soviet Union during the same period. Historically, it was only three months before Mussolini would fall, toppled by his own party.
So the risk they take is not as great as imagined.
With this understanding, Eric's agitation gradually worked.
"I'm not going to tell you how stupid the Italians are when their infantry crossed the Alps and freeze to death thousands just because they forgot to equip their blankets, and I won't remind you that they can't beat North Africa with bows and arrows with cannons and machine guns Natives, the heroic deeds of running back from the battlefield to supply depots for macaroni. I just need you to think about it!"
After pointing out the well-known facts and looking around, Eric said with an emphasis.
"I just need you to use your brains to think about it: is it more worthwhile to fight for our own future than to be chased by the enemy and killed by shells during the escape, or to fall into a prisoner-of-war camp and let the defeated ones take revenge?" ?Even if we just sneaked into the Piazza Venezia in Rome and shot at the window glass of Mr. Benito Mussolini's office, we would win much greater honor than we have now. And in the process we It won't pay a lot, there are disgruntled people everywhere, we just need to find a place to hide for a while. After the limelight passes, we can find a way to go back to the country and receive the cheers. It's better than taking a boat that doesn't drive far actual."
"Why don't we just hide and wait until the war is over before returning home?" a sailor asked eagerly.
"Then you have to be careful whether your wives think you are dead and remarry with your children before the war is over." Eric replied casually.
Of course, things are not as simple as he said, the Italian army is not always weak.It did stumble quite a bit in North Africa and elsewhere.But its expeditionary force is in the midst of a sweep across Ukraine.Captured [-] Soviet troops, captured Stalino and other important towns independently, and the marshal who was accidentally shot to death was not really shot by anti-aircraft guns, but died heroically in order to intercept the Royal Air Force's order for ground troops to fire indiscriminately.
But the sailors don't need to know these things, they just need to follow Eric to the battlefield.
"Think about it, guys." Eric was still working his tongue out. "Think about it, this is a semi-paralyzed country. There are Germans in the front in strategically important places. And his internal defenses are actually not that tight. We can jump over our broken destroyers to capture the German ships, then from the side of the square Jumping into the window of the Prime Minister of Italy is not a troublesome thing, as long as we succeed, we are the conquerors of Italy! Such a thing is not without precedent: Cortes used 600 people to conquer the Aztec Empire with a population of 500 million, Pizarro used 180 men to conquer the Inca Empire with a population of 600 million, they can do it in the barbaric New World, why can't we use nine heroes to conquer a weak Italy by surprise?"
His words seemed to make sense, and the spirits of the sailors lifted up a little.
This is a good beginning.After noticing the psychological changes of his subordinates.Eric continued to describe the grand blueprint to them, such as the treasure house of Italy, the beauties with great style, and the status of heroes after returning home.Compared with such a beautiful and intoxicating prospect, the fate of lurking and waiting for the hunt in fear, or finding ways to return to the Allied territory and then being sent to the battlefield to fight the Germans to the death becomes much crueler.
"And we're not alone, there are a lot of families out there who are disaffected by the dictator, it's a rare opportunity, even if no one attends, I'm going by myself, and I'm going to learn from the workers who are on strike and the townspeople who are resentful towards society I can even convince some captured Germans to join me. Even if all else fails and we get caught by the Italians, we can still taste their luxury meal, so why don't we try?"
As soon as his words fell, the loyal Tarbert slammed the table.
"I'll join!"
With this sentence, everyone dispelled their worries. It is dangerous anyway, so it is better to take a gamble.
After the buzz, Talbot led his excited brothers outside, with Eric grinning behind him.
After contacting Qin, he learned of some subtle changes in his actions, so the new Magneto's thoughts also changed.
He decided to lay a little foundation in this era, although it can't affect the overall situation, maybe these efforts can still be used 70 years later.
He doesn't want to be the mascot of the military like Captain America. He needs some real power, at least to create convenient conditions for some people who are inclined to him, such as people like Tarbert, although they are not talented enough, they are very persistent. If it can always be rooted in the military and passed down from generation to generation, it may have a good impact.What's more, this operation looks difficult on the surface, but with his ability, there is still a great chance of success.
According to the original timeline, after the Battle of Alamein and the Battle of Tunisia, the time for the Italian army to surrender in North Africa is not far away. Today is April 4, and the formal surrender will be in mid-May. Mussolini collapsed in July. Now These are just ahead of time.
The rebirth project is nearing its end as Eric works on his new plan in Italian territory.
In order to invite a senator to watch the experiment in person, the top executives of the Scientific Strategic Corps took Steve back to New York.
Before that, Carter had a personal matter.
As Eric's heir, she rushed to the Army dispatched agency near New York Harbor to go through some formalities.
This time the fleet was ambushed, the army and the navy suffered a lot, and many survivors who lived not far away came, including the family of Major McTaggot.
After hearing that this was Eric's heir, McTaggot's youngest daughter stared at her with hatred in her eyes. She was called out by her mother a dozen times before she retreated.
Presumably they blamed Erik, as the major himself thought, and his daughter blamed her father's prisoner.
Since it didn't make sense, Peggy ignored others. The more than 100 patents she inherited were of inestimable value. Fortunately, Eric had invested a high amount of insurance for himself, and now his insurance money can cover everything.
After completing the formalities, Stark's partner Stan came over to express his condolences, and asked to purchase the patent by the way, but Carter declined. Now she is physically and mentally exhausted, and tomorrow she will be responsible for security tasks for important experiments. Now she really doesn't want to go outside delay.
So Aubade had no choice but to resign.
Back at the legion's garrison, Carter entered his room, took a rest and began to wipe the photo frames on the table.
Inside the frame is the only photo of Eric, his eyes slightly squinted, and he looks sunny with a faint smile.
In fact, Eric is not very handsome, he just has good facial features, but his calm and confident temperament is shown from the inside out, which makes people unforgettable at first sight.
The same was true for Peggy Carter. She was stroking the photos in a daze until she was awakened by a knock on the door outside.
It was Dr. Erskine visiting.
"You look better." The doctor said in an elder tone.
"People can't always live in the past." Carter laughed at himself. "Since I met Eric, I have sighed more. Maybe the colonel is right, I am not a qualified agent."
"Being a good person is enough." The doctor shook his head. "Have you thought about what to do after the war?"
"Of course." Carter was a little surprised, the doctor rarely talked to her about this.
"I thought about dancing before, maybe girls have this kind of vanity, but Eric left me a lot of things, maybe I will use them to establish a foundation to help those who have been hurt in the war."
"It's a good idea, so I can rest assured." The doctor's voice was so low that Carter couldn't hear it clearly, and asked him to repeat it, but he changed his words again.
"It's nothing, I really want to go around after the war, but unfortunately the Ministry of Defense and intelligence agencies won't agree." The doctor sighed.
"Isn't the rebirth plan going to be completed soon?" Carter asked. "Can't you leave after the war?"
"I only know now that this is only the first stage. People's desires are endless. Even if Germany fails, the politicians should find new opponents." The doctor stood up as he spoke, knowing that his depression was very serious. Difficult to resolve.
"Tomorrow, if nothing goes wrong, Steve will become a strong man. But a real hero is never made of muscles, and improper use of medicine may bring about even greater disasters."
The doctor muttered to himself, and when he walked outside, Carter saw a thumb-sized box on the table.
"Doctor, your things." The female agent hurriedly tried to catch up.
Erskine stopped her.
"A little gift from me." He looked negative. "Find a way to put it away, hide it if you find it useful, and throw it away for me if you think it's not good. This is my last request."
Turning around, the doctor walked away slowly. (to be continued~^~)

Turning around, the doctor walked away slowly. (to be continued~^~)
