[Black shield and white tank] A line of sea and sky

That banquet should have been held, because Steve wanted to justify his new identity and officially accept the title of "Captain Hydra", which required a ceremony similar to a coronation ceremony.

Such a large-scale banquet is rarely held within the organization, because they have not achieved the final success from the beginning to the end, and have not really made a comeback and turned salted fish, so one or two vigilant eyes must be kept in the dark, just like the three heads guarding the gate of hell like a dog.

When the other heads are asleep, one head must always be awake.

But this time is different.

The Civil War took its toll on the Avengers, and it was impossible for them to launch an attack on Hydra in this depleted period.What's more, the weakening of the enemy's power by the civil war is already a reason for Hydra to celebrate.

Of course, if it was just these two items, Captain Hydra wouldn't waste money and money on such an exaggerated pomp.The most important thing is to revive the morale within the organization, consolidate their beliefs, and use one or two methods to make them understand that the people who lead them now are different from all the previous leaders. This one can do everything.

Wishbone has self-knowledge, so since his three requests were dismissed and the forced contradiction was punished accordingly, he began to understand that the Steve he saw now was completely different from the one he knew before.All his experience had to be discarded, so as to treat the other party as a powerful ruler who was more powerful than every leader of Hydra before.

He lay on the bed for a long time, and what made him unable to recover was not the discomfort of reopening his wound during sex, nor the residual pain from the rough treatment of sex.He has suffered all those traumatic injuries, even if he was replaced by another person, he would be able to quickly free himself from the chaotic sanity.

But if the opponent is Steve, the Captain America who balances the forces of light and darkness, then his turning to lead Hydra can only prove one thing-the balance of good and evil that has been maintained for many years has been broken.

If the balance is broken, there will be blood and rain.

And Rumlow also understood that the reason why the other party didn't put him in the prison together as a prisoner or shot him to death was not because he tried his best to seize the tube of biological and chemical weapons. He must have other things worthy of the other party's use—— stuff that is priceless.

So he suppressed all his emotions and spent about a week learning how to shut up and heal.Of course, he didn't have a chance to speak, because Steve didn't come this week.And a week later, there was news that a celebration banquet would be held within the organization.

This is the muzzle, and he has to keep quiet.He asked not to attend the dinner on the grounds of poor health, just like the comrades next door and next door.He's not an exception, so it's unobtrusive to do so.

But what he never expected was that he could keep calm, but that chaotic soldier couldn't.His never-healed brain made it possible for him to collapse at any time, and this collapse also shattered Crossbones' plan to keep a low profile.

The Winter Soldier went berserk.Something irritated him and made it all start so suddenly.His previous stability allowed him to go out to eat with other prisoners. Although he would not take the risk of uncuffing him, Steve said-"He won't really go crazy, and he has recovered to this level, basically It's already set."

It's one thing for the captain to say that, but another for the players' understanding.

So when he smashed the window where the food was distributed, grabbed the shards of glass and cut another prisoner's throat, everyone thought he was just the same as before, and the trauma of the brain once again confused the mind.

Violent, masochistic, extremely aggressive.He was like a killing machine, piercing the throat of the prisoner lying on the ground one after another.He only has one arm, but that doesn't make him any less dangerous.Then he touched the wound with his fleshy hand and pulled out the throat from the already bloody corpse.Grabbing the meat paste again, he walked to the trash can step by step, and threw half of the throat into it.

He turned around and faced the dumbfounded crowd.The people in the circle took half a step back, and the air trembled with everyone's intensified heartbeat.

Steve had already arrived, and when the monitor he installed informed him immediately, he put down everything in his hands and rushed to the scene in a hurry.

He saw the scene of the Winter Soldier dragging the pipe, and also saw the scene of the Winter Soldier throwing the pipe into the trash can. He also saw the fear of the people and the anger hidden behind the fear.

The fear and hatred towards this traitor is suppressed in the emotion of daring to speak out, and when suppressed to a certain extent, it will explode frantically and evolve into a heinous act of revenge.

After hearing the reason for the Winter Soldier's rampage guessed by the inspector, Steve temporarily stopped the guards from swarming up.The Winter Soldier did not go mad, he was very conscious, but it was precisely because of his sobriety that his actions were unforgivable.

"...it appears that A1917 tipped him off about your first crossbones rumor," said the Overseer.

"...Although we don't believe it, you also know A1917's mouth. He is that kind of virtuous, deliberately provoking the Winter Soldier." The inspector said again.

"... They argued for a while, probably because of the content of the words... We know it's all fake, but maybe the Winter Soldier took it seriously." The inspector also said.

Steve laughed after hearing this, and he turned his head to look at the young man who was reporting to him in a low voice, and said softly, "Don't believe it? Why don't you believe it? I did fuck the crossbones, and what A1917 said is true .”

The inspector was stunned, not knowing whether the corps was serious or just made a sarcastic joke.Steve didn't explain either, and walked forward, staggering through the crowd.

He guessed right, the Winter Soldier wasn't mad.People who lost their minds would not be enraged by such a provocation. The moment the Winter Soldier saw Steve, there was a flicker in his eyes, which also proved that the person standing in the pool of blood was not a pure Winter Soldier, but a big man under the guise of the Winter Soldier. The reformed soldier who started killing and tried to escape from the prison to meet Crossbones.

"You're going to escape, aren't you?" The crowd made way for the captain, and Steve walked forward slowly, holding a shield in his right hand.

The Winter Soldier didn't answer, but squeezed his wet right hand tightly.His knuckles were crackling, but his real powerful arm wasn't there.

"Because I fucked my crossbones, didn't I?" Steve asked again, moving a little closer.There was no smile on his face, but no sullenness either.

The Winter Soldier's cheeks were rolling, and the roots of his teeth were grinding.There was a burning killing intent in his light-colored eyes, but even so, he was restrained by Bucky Barnes's reason.

"So you think the organization should allow you to be with him and continue your relationship," Steve stood still, facing the murderous former friend, "Let you plan the next defection, let everyone present Once again to pay blood and life for the disaster you brought, yes?"

Steve's words are precious, and every word is pierced in the heart of the Winter Soldier.But he couldn't refute it, he didn't want to admit it or lie, he only had one thought, and from the beginning to the end, he had only one thought——

"...I want to see him!"

Steve was too lazy to say no, he didn't want to waste his time talking about a problem that couldn't be solved.When a person is in a certain strong negative emotion, it is impossible to enlighten and alleviate it with any principle.He also knew that the Winter Soldier and Crossbones shared these unbreakable obsessions, albeit in very different ways.

It is no longer valid to tell them where they are now, who they are, and what attitude they should have.And the most direct way is to directly smash this obsession.

If you can't crush both at the same time, crush one of them first.

"I'll let you see him." Steve said, hooking the corners of his mouth, showing a friendly expression, "At the banquet tonight, I'll let you see him as you wish."

After finishing speaking, at the moment when the Winter Soldier lost his mind because of this promise, Steve raised his hand and threw the shield out of his hand, hitting the Winter Soldier's belly accurately.

The Winter Soldier was knocked against the wall in pain, and several soldiers took the opportunity to overwhelm him.Steve approached slowly, then snapped his fingers at the deputy, and the prepared potion entered the Winter Soldier's neck.

The Winter Soldier struggled to raise his head, but he didn't have a chance to meet Steve's eyes until he passed out.He wanted to verify what Steve said, and he could verify the authenticity of the promise with just one look.So even though Steve didn't ask him to look up, before the Winter Soldier lost consciousness, Steve still raised his hand to stroke the opponent's hair, and pressed his palm firmly on the top of the Winter Soldier's head, giving a similar response.

Yes, even without eye contact, Steve made the promise.He'll make sure the Winter Soldier meets Wishbone, and tonight, at the banquet, he'll make both of them the center of attention.Even though he has become the captain of Hydra, he doesn't like to lie.

What's more, if the two sides don't meet, how can he raise the hammer and drop it accurately to hit the target.

As far as Steve was concerned, the dinner party went without any suspense.

There will always be someone to bring the news, and there will always be someone to relay what they saw to Rumlow, and Rumlow will inevitably rush to the scene after hearing everything, rushing to the stage desperately, hugging His Winter Soldier, holding his pawns.

Steve looked at Rumlow quietly, with a chilling smile on his lips.Ten seconds later, he snapped his fingers, and the ready soldiers rushed in through the back door and firmly subdued the Winter Soldier.

They ripped the Winter Soldier from Rumlow and took him away.The Winter Soldier's eyes were blurred, staring at Rumlow before being dragged out the door.

Rumlow stared at him too, and just as he instinctively moved in the direction the Winter Soldier was going, he too was pinned down.

He dropped to his knees and never took his eyes off the Winter Soldier.But he had no choice but to stand helplessly once again powerless against what happened to the Winter Soldier.He hated it, hated it.But the raging hatred consumed him and left him exhausted.

He is a special attack captain, a hero who has been fighting in Hydra for many years, and a fearsome mercenary, but when facing the only person he cares about, he can only kneel on the ground and press his shoulders very hard. It was so big that he couldn't even stand up.

"I found out that you have a soft spot for traitors." Steve's voice sounded, and it was only then that Rumlow recovered from the scene just now.

The banquet was still going on, but Rumlow had already been taken away first.No transfer back to the ward, no jail, and now he's in Steve's office, sitting on an expensive leather couch.There were two heavily armed guards beside him. After Steve came in, they put away their guns and guarded the outside with the door.

"The few people you have the best relationship with in the organization seem to be quite famous traitors." Steve took off his coat and hung it on the coat rack, squinting at Crossbones who was sitting blankly on the sofa.

In order to create such emotions and opportunities, Steve also gave up the continued carnival.He walked around slowly behind the desk, opened the drawer, and took out a stack of member materials that he had prepared.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Rumlow's voice was hoarse, and the suppressed anger and sadness made the vocal cords vibrate unsmoothly.

Steve missed the manuscript, glanced at Rumlow again, and returned to the material.He cleared his throat and began to read out Rumlow's many exploits—

"The Chief Physician who was in charge of making the Winter Soldier's power-on and power-off commands seems to be killed by you, right? Pierce asked you to do it. His crime is to leak the organization's materials and let the enemy members obtain the destruction command. Method." The manuscript turned to the first page, Steve chuckled and threw out the first trophy.

Rumlow's eyebrows twitched, his eyes still fixed on the position of Steve's boots.

Yes, Rumlow remembered it.That happened a long time ago, presumably when the old base and the new base alternated.That doctor was indeed a friend of Rumlow. He once assisted Rumlow in secretly lowering the electrical current of the brainwashed Winter Soldier, and secretly stole a lot of analgesic medicine.

At that time, the doctor was solely responsible for the development of the power on and off instructions and the destruction instructions, and he was considered a first-class hero in the organization.Even the betrayal of the organization is just a rumor, and there is no conclusion in the end.Because no one can prove whether he leaked the method of destroying the command, but it is a pity that Pierce is suspicious and assigns Rumlow to kill him, just in case.

In order to keep his actions of protecting the Winter Soldier from being known, and to keep the Winter Soldier and himself safe, Rumlow killed the doctor and his friends ruthlessly—even though they were no longer friends in the end.

This has always been a stalk in Rumlow's mind. In the end, he could only persuade himself that that person was really a traitor, so that he could feel a little more comfortable and relieve the guilt in his heart.

Steve gave Rumlow time to recall, paused, and threw out a second trophy——

"Bartok is also your subordinate. He appeared in South Africa after the rebellion, but now he has disappeared. I heard that he is also one of your most proud team members. It is a pity that he opened the warehouse where the organization stores the slow release agent and stole it. A lot of potion," Steve rubbed the manuscript, speaking in a slow but clear tone - "also a traitor."

Rumlow's Adam's apple rolled.

Yes, that was the first time Rumlow and others planned to leave Hydra, and the Winter Soldier at that time was going to be destroyed by the organization.In order to prevent this from happening, Rumlow boldly led him to defect.Shortly thereafter, Bartok and Rollins also defected, and found Rumlow and the Winter Soldier, and the four reunited.

That mission was not initiated by Bator, to be precise, ordered by Rumlow.Not long after they escaped, they discovered that the inferior serum injected into their bodies strongly damaged their physiological functions.In order to resist the side effects, Rumlow led them to pry open the warehouse where the release agent was stored. For this reason, Bartok also burned the flesh of his hands and became a real person without fingerprints.

Bartok is indeed the biggest hero in this mission, but if he is on the most wanted list within the organization, he becomes the biggest criminal.

Steve watched Rumlow's expression patiently, and paused again.He seems to particularly like the process of destroying the opponent step by step, so his speed is slowed down, and all the memories can be visualized, clearer and deeper.

After a while, he turned the manuscript back again, this time he chuckled slightly, and threw out the third trophy——

"Oh, the next one is even bigger, Jack Rollins, your vice-captain, is also your little boy," Steve raised his voice mockingly, and looked at Rumlow's expression again—" I won’t repeat what he did one by one, otherwise I would probably have to count from now to tomorrow morning.”

Rumlow clenched his fists.

If the loyalty of the Winter Soldier is imprinted with imprinting effects, and Bartok's loyalty is driven by interests, then only Rollins' loyalty does not contain superfluous elements.Not to mention Captain Hydra, even Rumlow himself couldn't tell how much Rollins had done for him.

It seems that for Rollins, the object of betrayal and non-betrayal is not Hydra, but only Rumlow.For this reason, as long as Rumlow gave an order, even if Rollins turned his gun directly to aim at Hydra, he would not hesitate.

Rollins has been by his side since they were both street punks.Rumlow has been brilliant, and it has also been down.Every time he walked on the edge of the cliff, he was confident that there was another person tied with a rope behind him.The other person holding the rope is Rollins.

This made Rumlow dare to take risks.Because he knew that even if he slipped and fell, Rollins would do everything in his power to pull him up.Even if he couldn't, he would jump off the cliff for himself.

This deep bond has nothing to do with love, just like Captain America and his comrade Bucky Barnes, even deeper than them.After all, this is not a bright battlefield, but behind the light, there are too many dark schemes and framing.

Knowing that Rumlow had already brewed enough emotions, Steve threw the manuscript on the table, raised his chin towards him, and said—"You don't need to read the last one, Winter Soldier, you and I know him well." What have you done."

Rumlow gritted his teeth tightly.

Yes, Steve was right.The above-mentioned people are Rumlow's most capable comrades-in-arms in the organization, and they are also life-and-death friends.Their relationship is no longer limited to Hydra, not only brothers on the battlefield, friends in life, but also the only and only remaining people who can be called family members.

But at the same time, yes, they are all repeat offenders, all committed unforgivable crimes against the Organization with no avenue for forgiveness.Even if he is captured and returned one day, he will be sent to the electric chair or a shooting range. The luckiest thing is that there is still some use value left, just like Rumlow, who is waiting for a chance to escape death and make meritorious deeds.

They are all notorious traitors.

"...what do you want me to do?"

By now, Rumlow also knew that the reason for showing these things to him was not that simple.A Winter Soldier vaudeville show just staged was also meant to make Rumlow aware of his place and put pressure on him.Then what Captain Hydra wants him to do must be something he can't do in a normal state.

"Don't look like that, I won't let you help me destroy S.H.I.E.L.D. This is not what I want, nor can you do it alone." Steve came over and sat opposite Rumlow , and patted the other person's shoulder lightly and reassuringly.

He really didn't want to wipe out S.H.I.E.L.D., let alone gain the recognition of the whole world by using violence to control violence.He only needs to obtain the most critical point, and before that, he needs to have a few extremely capable but extremely loyal subordinates.

So, he asked Rumlow——

"Prove your loyalty, just like you did to Pierce back then, kill the doctor who leaked the secret to prove your innocence." Steve retracted his arms, leaned on the back of the chair with his hands folded and looked at him sideways, his tone indifferent.

But the doctor is dead, and Rumlow has no such high-level friends in the scientific research department since then, and he never regards anyone other than the above three who are still alive as a true friend.After all, treating people as friends in such a place sometimes gets hurt instead of protection.

"Okay, who do you want me to clean up this time?" Rumlow looked up at Steve.Now that the entanglements of the past are gone, killing anyone doesn't seem to be that painful to him.

He doesn't have the part of Bucky Barnes, so even if it's an innocent guy, there's not much hesitation about letting him do it.He's been doing it for decades, it's a habit.

But Rumlow is still wrong, because loyalty is an extremely valuable quality, and the stakes are too high for people in light or hell.What Steve gave Rumlow was a task that he couldn't think of at all, and for him, it was impossible to complete——

"Bartok and Rollins, they know too many secrets, help me clean them up." Steve said softly, but the moment he said it was like stabbing Lang with a knife Mlo's temple.

Rumlow clenched his fist, and he forcibly dug out two deep holes in the leather sofa.
