Marvel’s Superman

Chapter 9 A Temptation, Two Soldiers

"General Patton once said, 'War depends on weapons, but victory depends on soldiers'! We can definitely win this battle because we have the best soldiers!"

"The Strategic Science Corps is composed of alliances of various countries. The elites of the free world have gathered here! Our goal is to build the most powerful army ever! And all armies have a leader!"

"After this week, we're going to elect that person!"

"He will be the first super soldier!"

"Similarly, he will send Adolf Hitler to hell with his own hands!"

"..."

After two weeks of recruit training, Colonel Phillips finally announced the selection plan for the "super soldier".

Holding Carter's scoreboard in his hand, he looked at Luke, who was tall and straight.

This Brooklyn young man is still doing well as always.

Judging from the physical fitness and the comprehensive performance of various training items, among the recruits in the Caspian training camp, they are well-deserved first place.

This is the super soldier the country needs!

Colonel Phillips thought with satisfaction.

Then, he inadvertently saw Rogers, who was thin and short, and sighed helplessly.

Although the other party trains seriously, never slacking off.

But his naturally weak physique made it difficult for him to become a qualified soldier.

"I really don't know what Erskine is thinking!"

Colonel Phillips was slightly annoyed.

He's under pressure from the committee and the sight of the White House.

If the "super soldier" cannot satisfy the military, then his career can be regarded as over.

It should be known that to form a strategic scientific army, various countries have invested a lot of manpower and material resources.

Now, everyone is waiting for the results!

"Super soldier..."

After the end of the training session, the team disbanded in situ.

The eyes of many recruits were fiery, and the word was chanted in their mouths.

"Boss Luke! Your performance should be the best among all recruits, and you are the super soldier!"

Back in the barracks, Gilmer Hodge, who had been taught by Carter, said flatteringly.

In the original plot, he was regarded as a passer-by's villain.

He often bullied the thin Rogers because of his big size and hard fists.

However, things changed when Luke arrived.

Hodge, who tried to gain satisfaction by bullying the weak, encountered the first Waterloo in his life.

The night before arriving at Caspian training camp, Hodge, the villain, planned to make fun of Rogers, but Luke shoved his head down the toilet.

He thinks that his fist is hard enough, and when he encounters Luke, who has beaten gangsters, hacked gangsters, brushed houses, and has a rich life experience, he is like a sheep meeting a lion, and he has no ability to resist.

Since then, no one in the recruit group has dared to provoke the Brooklyn duo.

As for Hodge, who was stuffed into the toilet, he became Luke's loyal dogleg.

Every day before and after the saddle, the mouth is called the boss, like licking a dog!

At one point Luke wondered if the product was masochistic, or if it got water when its head was shoved down the toilet.

But later I realized that bullies like Hodge, who bully the soft and fear the hard, often believe in the simple thinking of "big fist is the last word".

Therefore, it is normal to have this behavior.

All in all, Luke seems to have opened the King of Soldiers template and successfully dominated the entire Caspian training camp without knowing it.

Not only did Colonel Phillips admire him, but he was always there in the barracks wherever he went.

"Think about it with your head. If the conditions for selecting a super soldier are training performance and strong muscles, then why doesn't the military choose directly from the army!"

Luke didn't look good on Hodge.

After all, licking a dog has nothing!

"Yes, yes, Boss Luke is right!"

Hodge smiled while cleaning the barracks.

"Steve, don't be discouraged! I think Dr. Erskine is very optimistic about you!"

Sending away Hodge, who was ingratiating himself, Luke walked to Rogers.

The future Captain America was a little frustrated at this time.

When he saw Luke's excellent performance, and then thought of his poor grades, it was inevitable that he was a little depressed.

"I didn't think about becoming a super soldier, but I began to wonder if it was the right choice to join the army? Maybe Bucky has a point. If you are destined to fail, giving up is also a kind of courage!"

Rogers seemed to be at a low point in his life, and his tone was full of uncertainty.

Through these days of training, he finally realized how weak he was.

"I don't think so! Dr. Erskine will take a fancy to you and recruit you into the army, that must be some kind of excellent quality that is worth cultivating from you! Confidence is the secret of success. Don't be fooled by temporary setbacks. Defeat! A character like gold is worth more than a strong muscle..."

Luke brought up a steaming bowl of chicken soup for the soul, filling Rogers' eyes with light and high fighting spirit.

If he makes persistent efforts and says a few more inspirational aphorisms for later generations, perhaps Captain America will regard him as a spiritual mentor.

"So, you can still learn something by reading more marketing soft articles."

Seeing that Rogers was in a good mood, Luke breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Captain America was a big part of his plan.

During the two-week recruit training, Luke made no secret of his performance and achieved excellent results.

Naturally, to get the super soldier serum!

only!

He wasn't going to put on the Stars and Stripes uniform and take over as Captain America!

"Even if I become a super soldier, I will inevitably be used as a mascot by politicians! I don't want to perform on stage and become an idol when I debut!"

Luke's thinking is clear.

The military researches super soldier serum.

The real purpose is to form a powerful army that is invincible.

In this way, we can drive straight in, rush into Berlin, and end the war.

According to the development of the original plot, Dr. Erskine was finally assassinated, the only specimen was destroyed, and the formula of the super soldier serum was lost.

Rogers, as the only super soldier, is far less useful on the battlefield than as a mascot to sell national bonds—those politicians thought.

Had Luke replaced Rogers and donned the Stars and Stripes uniform, he'd probably end up the same way.

If you do it differently, save Dr. Erskine.

Next, the super soldier is mass-produced.

Luke still won't have any future, because he is no longer the special one.

So, after repeated consideration.

Luke decides to show his good side and try to win the admiration of Colonel Phillips, putting more pressure on Dr. Erskine.

When there are two suitable candidates, maybe the development of the story will be different.

...

...

When it was getting dark, Erskine found Luke resting.

The German scientist directly pointed out his intentions.

"Colonel Phillips thinks you're the best candidate for a super soldier, Luke, what do you think about yourself?"

Feeling the scrutinizing gaze, Luke's face was calm, and the speed of his heartbeat remained stable.

"The condition of a super soldier should not be a strong figure! It is to know compassion and have a heart of awe!"

Luke didn't hesitate and answered decisively.

He could see that Dr. Erskine was testing himself.

The right person in the other party's mind is always Rogers.

After the "Red Skull" incident, the German scientist had a psychological shadow.

Even if Luke performed well, Erskine himself was not as impressed as what Rogers said at the draft station.

"Then do you think anyone in the training camp meets such conditions?"

Erskine pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and asked hesitantly.

"My friend! Steve Rogers! His character is totally trustworthy!"

Luke's eyes were firm, as if he thought so in his heart.

Hearing this satisfactory answer, the last trace of doubt in Erskine's eyes disappeared without a trace.

Originally, he was still grumpy about Luke's involvement in the gang and the possibility of having blood on his hands.

I am afraid that after the other party becomes a super soldier, he will completely lose his humanity like Red Skull!

Because of the effect of serum, that is the case.

The better the good, the worse the bad!

"very good!"

Erskine patted Luke hard on the shoulder, smiling approvingly.

Originally, he and Colonel Phillips had completely different ideas, and no one could convince anyone.

But Luke's answer completely dispelled Erskine's doubts.

He said solemnly: "You two will be super soldiers!"
