Be the master in the comic world

"Run! Run! Hey! Are you considered soldiers? Just go back and feed the pigs! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

An irritable instructor rudely directed the soldiers undergoing training while talking trash, and conducted individual soldiers' fully prepared walking and running training.

The soldiers were breathing heavily, and they couldn't even wipe the sweat off their foreheads as they struggled to move their legs.Not surprisingly, the thin Steve was left behind by the large group.

In fact, not only hiking and running, Steve's performance in almost all training events these days has been far behind.Gritting his teeth and completing all the training was Steve's limit.

William and Carter sat in a military jeep, leading the soldiers.

William looked back at Steve's sad look at the end, and shook his head secretly.In fact, he didn't mind helping Steve, an acquaintance, but the Strategic Science Corps was not William's choice.Steve's poor training results made it impossible for William to help him "go through the back door". Others in the Strategic Science Corps were not blind.

"Stop moving forward, stop moving forward!" the training instructor suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs.

The soldiers stopped quickly, and many of them held their hands on their knees, seizing this rare moment of respite.The military jeep William was riding in also stopped.

The training instructor pointed to the flagpole nearby and said loudly to the soldiers:

"When you see this flag, it proves that you have run halfway. Whoever can take off that flag for me now can get in the jeep in front and ride back with Agent Carter. Now move, girls!" "

A group of soldiers immediately rushed towards the flagpole like wolves and tigers. Being able to ride back in a car was extremely tempting to these tired soldiers, let alone riding in a car with the beautiful Carter.

William and Carter both watched with interest as the soldiers climbed to the top of the flagpole.Everyone who tried it didn't climb very high before losing their grip and sliding down.The highest climber, Hodge, could only climb as high as one person and failed.

Carter took a pen and continued to record the achievements of these soldiers in her book.

As for Steve, he didn't try to get under the flagpole at all. He gasped to regain his strength while observing the structure of the entire flagpole.

The training instructor on the side was still stimulating the soldiers and said: "No one has been able to get this flag in 17 years. Can you guys do it?"

After a while, seeing that the soldiers who were trying so hard had not made any progress, the training instructor shouted: "Come back, come back! Return to the team now!"

The soldiers all returned to the running route in disgrace. At this time, only Steve did not return to the team, but walked slowly towards the flagpole.

When the training instructor saw it, he immediately got angry and shouted loudly: "I told you to return to the team! Steve!"

The training instructor's yell made the soldiers, Carter and William look at Steve.

As if Steve didn't hear the training instructor's call, he walked to the foot of the flagpole, looked up, then bent down and pulled out the fixed latch at the bottom of the flagpole.

Under everyone's gaze, the flagpole made a squeaking sound of metal friction, and then fell heavily to the ground.

Steve strolled to the top of the flagpole and easily took down the flag symbolizing "Caspian Camp."

Steve handed the flag to the drill instructor and said, "Thank you, sir."

Then he jumped straight into the back seat of the jeep.

William looked at Steve sitting next to him and laughed a few times, then patted Steve on the shoulder, gave a thumbs up, and said, "Well done, Steve."

Steve smiled slightly and replied: "Thanks for the compliment, Mr. Osborne."

Carter turned around from the front seat and asked, "Wait, you two know each other?"

William said with a smile: "We met once in New York, but I didn't expect to meet again here."

Steve also continued: "Actually, I ran into a little trouble, and Mr. Osborne helped me solve it."

After listening to what the two said, Carter raised his eyebrows noncommittally and turned his head.

As a young and energetic young man, Steve was exposed to a dashing woman like Carter for the first time. He couldn't help but secretly swallowed his saliva when he saw her charming movements when she raised her eyebrows.

As a "visited person", William naturally noticed Steve's strangeness at a glance. He couldn't help but smile and bumped Steve next to him with his shoulder.

Steve pretended that nothing had happened, pretending to look at the scenery in the distance like an innocent boy, and ignored William.

Carter saw the two people behind him fighting like big boys in the rearview mirror, and couldn't help but chuckled and shook his head.

After this performance, both William and Carter's evaluation of Steve has changed, especially Carter, who pays more attention to Steve in daily training.

The hard training time passed quickly, and a week passed in a short time.

Today is the last day of training. So far, Steve's test ranking is unsurprisingly at the bottom. The reason why he is not at the bottom is because his performance in getting the flag gave him a lot of extra points, but it did not have any effect. decisive role.

The soldiers sat and did push-ups in the center of the training camp, with Carter supervising and observing. This was the last physical fitness test before the end of the training.

Phillips, Erskine, and William all looked on.

Phillips suddenly asked: "Are you kidding me? You really have to choose Steve Rogers."

While William was still stunned, Erskine said: "Yes, that's right."

Phillips said in an incredible tone: "When you brought this kid into my training camp, I didn't object. I thought maybe it was your quirk as a scientist, and he might be like a mascot to you. . I never thought you would really choose him. God, look at his arms, I was afraid they would be broken if there was a strong wind."

Phillips’ words helped clear up William’s confusion.William was still wondering how Steve got into this training camp with his physical fitness. It turned out that it was Erskine who used it.Thinking back again, when I first met Steve, wasn't it the day of the Future World Expo? I was still calling Steve and his friend named Bucky to attend the expo.Erskine was also at the fair that day, and something must have happened at the fair that William didn't know about.

Old God Erskine answered Phillips' question on the spot and said: "I focus on qualities other than physical fitness, such as faith and kindness."

Phillips said in an anxious tone: "Do you know how many times I have paid for this project? Doctor! How many times have I groveled in front of congressmen. I can't bet all this on faith and kindness. I believe in the test data, Huo Qi passed every test we put him through. He was strong, fast, and obeyed orders. He was a qualified soldier."

Erskine complained: "He's just a fool."

Phillips said somewhat speechlessly: "Elegance alone cannot win a war."

The two stared at each other, neither of them could convince the other.

Phillips suddenly said: "What's your opinion? Osborne, you have personally trained them and know them well. Who do you think is the most suitable?"

William shrugged and said: "Sorry, gentlemen, although I sent Hodge to the infirmary on the first day. But in the following training, Hodge did complete every assessment item, just like the colonel. I mean, he's a qualified soldier."

Before Phillips could smile triumphantly, William immediately continued: "But, I will choose Rogers."

Phillips asked in surprise: "Why?"

He didn't understand why William would choose the weak Steve.

William smiled mysteriously, walked to the carriage of a military truck nearby, took out a model grenade from it, threw it to Phillips, and said:

"Some things you have to discover with your own eyes."
