Glory of the Sun God (Marvel Sun God)

Steve took Frank all the way to where he lived. .This is a relatively private territory. Even within Hydra, no one would be so uninterested as to come to such a place to find out about him personally.So it was still safe here, and after arriving at such a safe place, Steve couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"You stay here for the time being, and I'll get you some food and water. Take a rest, and when the time is right, I'll send you away from here."

For Frank, Steve showed his full kindness.But in the face of such good intentions, Frank was not so willing to accept it.It was difficult for him to understand Steve's behavior. Even if he did feel guilty as Smith Zhou said, this should not be enough to support his actions.Does he have other intentions?Or is this some new conspiracy?

Frank always kept this in mind, which also made him full of resistance to Steve.

"Stop pretending to me, Steve Rogers. Tell me the truth, why did you rescue me? Is it really out of guilt for my father, or is this another conspiracy on your part?"

"No, kid. I just feel that the war of our generation should not involve your generation, that's all!"

Steve, who had grown a long beard and looked more and more leader-like, stopped what he was doing. He could tell that Frank was very defensive. If he didn't give him a reasonable explanation, If so, then I'm afraid he will continue to fight against himself like this.This is a waste of his own opportunity and a waste of his own time.And there was no time to accompany him to continue messing around like this, so Steve immediately explained to him.

"First of all, you need to be clear that you have no actual value to us. The only relationship between us is that you are Tony Stark's son, and between Tony and I, there is a fundamental relationship that says no. There is a clear personal grudge. I was a little biased towards you for his sake. In fact, if you have known me and the things I have done, you should know that I have never let you live. How rare it is to get out there.”

"Smith is not a person who likes to talk about forgiveness, and I am neither. It is a pure fluke that you survived, so why not accept this fluke and live honestly?"

"Because I don't want to be betrayed by others, and I don't want you to stab me in the back just like you stabbed my father!"

Frank retorted quickly, but this reply was not so much from his own perspective as it was to express his grievance for his father.

His father's two biggest problems in his life were betraying his friends and being betrayed by his friends.Especially the latter, the grudges between the two can even be traced back to the previous generation.

As a son, Frank was not qualified to comment on his father's personal grudges.But today, when he thought his father had died, he felt that he should give an explanation for this matter no matter what.

Making Steve pay for his betrayal may be a bit high, and may not be possible for the time being.But he felt that the least he could do was to make Steve respond to his betrayal and explain the reasons.

This was the answer his father had always wanted to know, but he never had the chance to ask.And now that he has been in contact with Steve and has such an opportunity, it is natural for him to figure out the answer.

"Why betrayal? Does my father have anything to say to you that I'm sorry for?"

"Does this have anything to do with you?" Steve could keenly sense that Frank wanted to explore some secrets in his heart.And for such a secret, he obviously has no intention of making it public.So he asked back and refused with a cold face. "You don't need to worry about betrayal. Believe me, you just need to rest for one night and leave here, so that you and I will no longer have any contact. And since there is no contact, then naturally there will be no betrayal. question."

"Is this your answer? I'm really curious, if my father were here and asked you this, how would you answer him?"

Frank didn't care about Steve's rejection, he was still pursuing the answer relentlessly.To this end, he even moved out his own father, just hoping to get Steve to open his mouth.And this is indeed the case. If he was the only one asking this kind of topic, then Steve probably wouldn't open up about it at all.And if he asked this question again as his father, especially at this stage when his father had just died, it would be difficult for Steve to remain silent.

"Let's eat something first. We still have some time. We can talk about this kind of thing slowly."

He took out a piece of quick-heat food from the refrigerator and stuffed it into the microwave. After thinking about it, Steve took out two cans of beer and a bottle of milk.The beer was for himself, and the milk was placed in front of Frank.

"It's milk for feeding stray cats, but don't worry, there shouldn't be any other problems except that it's about to expire. Just wait a moment, it'll be fine."

With a ding, the microwave opened automatically. Steve placed a piece of food that looked a little mushy in front of Frank, and as expected, he saw a look of disgust on his face.

"Sorry, but this is the only food here. You should know that this is India, which is probably the worst place in the world for people to live. All humans, animals, and crops have become diseased, and countless people are hungry. Only a very small number of people can eat something like this. So don’t waste it. If you have a little patience, you will actually find that its taste is acceptable."

"What are all these things?" Frank took a spoon and scooped out a few fat strips.This made him feel nauseous, and he even started retching without concealing it.For him, who grew up in a wealthy family, the most unpalatable thing he had ever eaten was a cheeseburger. For him to call such a thing food is simply an insult to food.And naturally, he started asking angrily.

"Earthworms are dug out from very deep under the earth's surface. They are relatively clean, or one of the few species on this land that has not been contaminated by radiation. It is just one of the ingredients. Trust me, don't look at it so ugly. In fact, It’s already the best looking.”

"Hell, is this thing edible?"

Frank immediately threw the spoon. If Frank hadn't followed up, he probably would have thrown the entire bowl out.After being satisfied that the so-called food was not turned into garbage, Steve looked at Frank reproachfully, and then solemnly placed it back in front of Frank.

"If you don't want to eat it, please don't waste it. Didn't I tell you clearly enough? Even in this city, not many people can eat it."

"Where is this?"

"Calcutta. Have you heard of this city?"

"Of course!" Frank began to sneer. "The third largest city in India. During the British colonial period, this was the capital of British India. What surprised me is that here, a city with a long history and a huge scale, now does not even have a decent We can’t even bring out food. Has Hydra’s rule really become this miserable?”

"I know what you want to say. You think that in my capacity, I shouldn't eat such things, right?"

"Isn't this natural? Human beings betray only because of a bigger price tag, and if your betrayal only gets this kind of treatment, I really can't imagine why you chose to betray in the first place!"

"There are many kinds of prices, and the so-called treatment is actually just the most insignificant one among them. It's just that most people will choose it, so so many people regard it as a standard of measurement. And for me, It's not."

Shaking his head, Steve picked up the spoon, took a spoonful of the sticky food and put it in his mouth.Of course, there is no need to say much about the taste. Even if he is used to eating it now, he still can't help but frown when eating this kind of food.One can imagine how terrible the taste of this thing was, and even with such a terrible taste, Steve still persisted and swallowed it into his stomach.

"As the leader of Hydra, I can indeed enjoy things that others cannot enjoy. For example, when others are swallowing this kind of food, I can have a good meal with red wine. Even if the whole world is imposing a blockade on India, I You can still eat the best steaks and the most authentic French meals. But I have not chosen to live such a life, because it is meaningless to me. In comparison, I would rather eat this kind of food that all ordinary people will eat. Something, because it tells me more truth."

"Calcutta is the sixth city rebuilt by Hydra in India. As one of the key cities in the original nuclear bomb attack, it is not easy to complete the reconstruction work on the ruins of this city. I We have worked hard for a long time before we managed to reach this point. And even if it is rebuilt, it will not be easy to get it back on its normal track."

"Food, water, daily necessities, everything is scarce. There is no shortage of people starving to death every day, and when there is no shortage of manpower, we set this as a working meal in Calcutta, so that everyone in this city can Anyone in the city who works for HYDRA can get enough to fill their bellies."

"I know this is not enough, so I voluntarily eat the same thing as them. It's not a show, and it doesn't need to be a show. I just hope to use this way to remind myself that I need to do better, and also We have to do better.”

After saying this, Steve quickly stuffed the remaining food into his mouth, and after taking a few sips of beer, he reluctantly swallowed it.

This made Frank frown, but soon he sneered again.

"It sounds really touching, as if you really think about them. So the question is, Mr. Steve Rogers, what caused them to be like this today, what made them even such a piece of garbage Treat it as a delicacy? Don't tell me that you don't have the slightest responsibility for this. If it weren't for your trouble, no matter how bad the Indian food is, it wouldn't be worse than what they are going to eat today."

"I admit that they are my fault today, and I have never thought that I was innocent, let alone justified my actions. I know what I did, and I know that I and everyone in Hydra are You can go to hell. But if I had to choose again, I would still do it. Because this is just the beginning, kid. It's like surgical treatment. If you don't cut off the damn rotten flesh, you won't let the whole human being They feel the pain to the core and it is impossible for them to get better. These are all necessary measures, and someone always has to do it!"

"So, that's your reason, right? About betrayal?"

Frank was keenly aware of Steve's attitude, and he immediately asked back.

"Betrayal? This is actually just a label unilaterally placed on me by your father. Perhaps to him and my former partners, what I did was indeed betrayal. But to myself, it is not. You want You know, I am a person who has gone through the war. And my biggest dream is to build a world with no wars, no fights, and only a bright future. But unfortunately, this is something that your father and the others will never get. The result was achieved. So, I chose another path. The one that I thought was feasible and the only feasible path."

"You call this feasible?" Frank felt that Steve must be crazy.Because anyone who is not a lunatic would never have such an idea.No matter who sees this desolate landscape, no matter who sees this doomsday-like scene.None of them think that this has any connection with the bright future of mankind.

War, madness, deformity, and alien species.The terror that Hydra has created in just a few years exceeds even any horrific war in human history.And if they are allowed to continue doing this, the destruction of mankind will be just around the corner.If what Steve pursues is destruction, the collapse and disintegration of the entire human race, then it is understandable for him to do so.But what he pursues is the exact opposite, and this is impossible to justify.

He couldn't imagine that his father's betrayal was just because of such a crazy reason.And he, who wanted to save his father's life, argued unceremoniously.

"If you are not crazy, then I am crazy. Look at what you have done, sir, how can you connect them with the so-called bright future? Could it be that in order to whitewash your behavior, you can Are you tampering with the facts so casually?"

"This is just a process, and what I expect is the result. If you haven't experienced a war, you can't know how terrifying the war process is. This is just normal. Even if we don't do it, in the future, as long as mankind is not unified, It's bound to happen sooner or later. And that's what I'm thinking about, kid."

"Did you know? During the 70 years of freezing, I was not completely asleep. Smith had done something to me, which allowed me to think clearly about everything about the world. Although these thoughts will be revealed later They are sealed, but as time goes by, they will emerge sooner or later.”

"And here, I want to understand a lot of things. The most important thing is about human beings. Do you know what the biggest differences among human beings are? It's race, it's country, it's all the opposites and disunity in this world. As long as As long as these things exist, humans will never stop fighting among themselves. And technology is constantly moving forward. Hundreds of years ago, people were still fighting with swords and guns, and only tens of thousands of people would die in a battle. During World War II, humans have learned to use guns to kill millions of similar species. Now, we can do more with biochemical and nuclear bombs. In the future, do you know if humans will use those weapons that can destroy everything in an instant? weapons?"

"That is where there is no future, child. As for me, the only thing I can do is now, use all means to prevent such a future, and do my best to eliminate these antagonistic existences. And Your father, Stark. Unfortunately, he was one of these antagonists. Although he is a hero in your eyes, imagine if it were not for Hydra, without our actions. As a strong person Once he takes charge of the U.S. government, what do you think he will be to other countries in the world?"

"A hero, a villain, or an evil dictator? Don't rush to deny it. I know your father, and I think you know him too. You should be able to guess what he will do for the United States. He once hoped that I would stand with him and stand for the United States. But the fact is that as a veteran who is tired of war, I no longer want to fight for a certain country. But I have no choice, I will only Fight. So, I can only choose to destroy everything!"
