Superman

"'Paperclip Project'?"

Rogers in the secretary's office closed the thick folder in his hand.

"In other words, the president secretly extradited a group of German scientists, and S.H.I.E.L.D. also absorbed part of the Hydra power. But this will not allow the enemy to infiltrate, thereby posing a threat to national security?"

Captain America showed a somewhat puzzled look.

As an intelligence agency, S.H.I.E.L.D., the primary issue should be to ensure its own confidentiality.

Actively recruiting Hydra is tantamount to creating potential opportunities for spies.

Invisible, increase a certain risk.

What to do when S.H.I.E.L.D. becomes the new Hydra?

"This plan was originally carried out by the military. They took a fancy to the new technology of the Third Reich's V-1 and V-2 rockets and ballistic missiles and wanted to get it."

Luke shrugged and said lightly.

Talent is the scarcest thing in the 20th century. The newly appointed president also understands this truth, so he approved the "paperclip plan."

During the Second World War, the military industry of the Third Reich was extremely developed, and all kinds of black technologies were endless, and it was a well-deserved strength first.

The White House and the Pentagon looked greedy, which is normal.

It is their nature to take arrogance and take advantage of interests first.

"At first, many people opposed this plan, because according to regulations, the U.S. military, which belongs to the Allied Powers, is prohibited from directly dealing with war criminals."

Luke paused and said with a smile at the corner of his mouth: "The irony is that almost all German scientists and engineers who are qualified for recruitment and extradition are basically in close contact with the Nazzi Party, and some are even enough. Up to the standards of war criminals."

Rogers had a shocked look of "strange knowledge increased."

Although we know that the country's image may not be as brilliant as it seems on the surface because of the entanglement of various interests.

But when he thought of it, he still had difficulty accepting the recruitment of war criminals to government departments.

"Those people should be judged."

Rogers whispered.

Seeing the frustration of Captain America, Luke continued to talk about the black history of the federal government: "That's just your personal opinion. The presidents and generals don't think so. In order to ensure strategic interests, they bypassed these rules and sent More than 700 intelligence personnel have vigorously collected personnel related to projects such as fighter jets, missiles and rockets."

"Among them, Arthur-L-Rudolph, who once managed an arsenal, was a talent in rocket manufacturing. However, he was also a notorious war criminal who committed the cruel crimes of hanging slave labor, massacring, and torturing prisoners of war."

"There is also Werner von Braun, now a senior engineer at the Army Equipment Design and Research Bureau, the designer of the V-2 missile. He has killed thousands of people in Britain and is a fanatical Third Reich."

Luke spoke in great detail, every word of it was like a sledgehammer, striking in Rogers' heart.

"Steve, there is no absolute justice in this world. The country you guard, or the spirit of defense, is actually not great."

Luke, who is clearly the head of Aegis and a major general of the army, unceremoniously ridiculed this capital country packaged as a beacon of freedom.

But having said that, the "paperclip project" did have a great impact on America during its development.

For example, that was Werner von Braun, a war criminal.

This person has a bright resume and entered the Technical University of Berlin in 1930.

Four years later, he received a doctorate in physics from Humboldt University and his graduation thesis was rated as the highest level.

In just two years, the V-2 missile was designed, which was the first ballistic missile put into actual combat in the world.

Later, I went to the United States and developed the Saturn 5, which successfully achieved the amazing feat of landing on the moon.

It can be said to be rocket manufacturing, another Howard Stark in the aerospace industry.

"What about SHIELD, are we the same?"

Rogers was a little unacceptable, looking at Luke who was leaning in the seat.

"Almost. Like Dr. Anim Zola, he used to make energy weapons for the Red Skull and now works for S.H.I.E.L.D.. Therefore, we will bear the blame for his previous crimes."

Luke nodded without hiding.

The "Paperclip Project" also benefited SHIELD.

From an unknown intelligence agency, it quickly developed into a huge organization above the Pentagon.

Excluding the special status of Superman, plus the amazing operations of asking for funds and expanding power and responsibilities.

A small part also thanks Hydra for its generous help.

This old opponent quickly completed the original accumulation of the reorganized Strategic Science Corps.

"Don't be overly obsessed with justice, kindness, and moral conscience, Steve. You can pursue those beautiful things, but you can't use them as a measure of everything in the world."

Luke continued to boil poisonous chicken soup and played the role of life mentor.

Speaking of it, transforming the unwavering Captain America seems to be quite interesting.

"I never think about how many people were killed by the weapons he manufactured and sold in Howard's arms business."

"Not to think about it. Anim Zola used to be a loyal supporter of the Third Reich. He once worked for Hydra and Red Skull, and his hands were covered with the blood of Allied fighters."

"Because that is meaningless. It is of no use except to plunge oneself into the conflict between moral conscience and cruel reality."

Rogers' lips squirmed, as if to say something.

The education and cognition he has received since childhood is to be a good person, stick to the bottom line, and not easily hurt others.

But Luke's remarks were like a bullet, shattering Captain America's sturdy line of defense and shaking him.

"but……"

Rogers raised his head, as if he was a little skeptical of life.

"Nothing but. Separate the truth from the reality. I am a superman, a war hero, and an object of worship by the public."

Luke smiled and said softly: "But I am also the head of Aegis, a major general in the army, an out-and-out authority and leader. I need to defend my own interests and stick to my position. For this, I even have to Do some'bad things' that are against morality."

"When these two identities are put together, they are not contrary."

Rogers' mind was confused, as if he had suffered 10,000 mental attacks.

He looked down at the vibrating shield in his hand and the stars and stripes on his chest.

Suddenly, at a loss.

"Maybe I am not suitable to be a captain."

After a while, Rogers laughed at himself.

"Fortunately, you are here, Luke. So I just need to be a soldier and rush forward."

Luke, who had poured several bowls of life philosophical poisonous chicken soup for Captain America in a row, Shi Shiran stood up, patted the other's shoulder, and said, "I'm going to my house for dinner tonight. Malena's craftsmanship is not bad."

After a few minutes, the conversation ended.

Watching Rogers leaving, he walked to the wine cabinet and poured a glass of Lafite from 1982—well, a vintage 1882 vintage.

"Dr. Zola, you heard everything."

Luke shook the red wine glass and said to the office cubicle: "I know Hydra's plan. You rely on the'paperclip plan' to penetrate S.H.I.E.L.D. and plan to resurrect and start again."

"The most dangerous places are often the safest. After the collapse of the Red Skull, the power of the Hydra was divided into three. One part was recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D., one part was taken away by Baron Tesak, and the other part was hidden. Infiltrate the interior of the federal government."

Dr. Zola, who was short and chubby, opened the door in small steps.

He stayed in the office cubicle very early and heard the countermeasures against the Hellfire Club and various information about the "paperclip project."

"Mr. Major General, I have already abandoned the shadows! Hydra is destined to have no future, S.H.I.E.L.D. is the future!"

Dr. Zola said sincerely.

Luke handed over a glass of red wine, shook his head and said, "You are wrong, Dr. Zola. I am very optimistic about Hydra. They are well organized, have outstanding penetration capabilities, and have intelligence networks all over the country, which are stronger than SHIELD. many."

Dr. Zola trembling, took the glass.

He didn't know what the major general in front of him wanted to say.

Do you want to settle the old account that you are Hydra?

"Dr. Zola, I want to join you."

Luke's smile grew thicker and he said sincerely: "Do you think I can become a qualified Hydra?"
