Chapter 46

As it turned out, Luke was right.

When Rogers got the silver glittering round shield, he was like a child who got a favorite toy and kept playing with it, and he felt very handy.

"This is the best gift we have received since we left Brooklyn!"

Rogers smiled a little, put the shield on his hand and made some landmark moves.

He was still worried about the safety of his friend Bucky and was in a low mood.

But Luke's arrival made Rogers a lot easier.

"Luke, what do you think of Bucky?"

Captain America, with a worried look in his eyes, frowned and asked.

He felt that Luke always had many ways to solve all kinds of problems.

"I asked the captured soldiers and they said that baki was probably transferred."

Back in the barracks, Luke analyzed.

He did get some clues that others wouldn't notice.

For example, the hydra's secret base transfers a group of prisoners every few weeks.

Almost 200 people of the 107th infantry regiment were locked up in military factories as free labor.

But in the end, only about 120 soldiers escaped with Luke and Rogers.

Excluding those who died of overwork and casualties, about 15 people are still missing.

They had the same experience as baki. They were escorted to the isolation ward of the military factory and never came out again.

Moreover, when a British soldier worked in a military factory, he heard Dr. Zola mention the name "Baron Strack".

Coincidentally, Luke knew what it meant.

Therefore, he concluded that Bucky was probably transferred to another place by Hydra.

"I hope so. Bucky doesn't know yet. I'm on the front line. It would have been a prepared surprise!"

Rogers bowed his head.

He always wanted to tell Bucky the good news and appreciate each other's surprised expression.

Before Luke appeared, only Bucky was with him, and their feelings were very deep.

"Don't think about these unsolvable problems. You'd better prepare well. Colonel Phillips will hold a celebration party in the evening, and many girls will invite you to dance."

Luke cut off the topic and deliberately joked: "I heard you were still holding with a civilian this afternoon. That enthusiastic girl wants to thank you for the family of the captured soldier..."

Rogers blushed, coughed twice and said in some embarrassment, "this... Was an accident. I don't have much experience, and then she directly held it over, Luke. You know, I don't know how to refuse others..."

Listening to Captain America's stammering pale excuse, Luke smiled and continued to tease: "that's true. Who will refuse a beautiful girl who gives a kiss. By the way, Steve, don't tell me this is your first kiss, otherwise I will despise you."

"How possible!"

Rogers blushed, the veins on his forehead burst out, and argued, "Janice and I, and Amy..."

"But Bucky said, it was all when you were eight or nine years old. Is it okay to play with girls?"

Watching the captain of the United States work hard to find out his emotional experience, Luke smiled, and the barracks was full of joy.

When Rogers recovered and left the barracks to prepare the clothes for the celebration, Luke's eyes flickered as if he were thinking about something.

He was thinking about the "Baron Strack" mentioned by Dr. Zola.

The real name of the other party is Wolfgang von Strack.

Born in Bavaria, Germany, he is the confidant of the head of state together with Baron ZEMO, who is quite famous in the Na party.

Different from the ambition of the red skeleton, Strack still had deep feelings for the third empire and wanted to defeat the allies and help the axis countries win the war.

It is worth mentioning that although Baron Strack is the top level of Hydra, he is not in the same camp as the red skull.

He has his own research institute and scientific and technological strength. He once manufactured a virus weapon called "dead spore" and harvested a large number of lives of the allies.

"It's really miserable for the allies to be rubbed on the ground by various black technologies of the axis countries..."

Luke thought silently.

No wonder a German major would shout the slogan "Germany is the first in the world of science and technology"!

……

……

After a simple cleaning and putting on a brand-new military dress, Luke and Rogers walked into the tavern in the nearby town.

The air was filled with the aroma of malt and the light blue mist of inferior tobacco.

Those captured soldiers who escaped by chance and successfully returned were desperately drinking a glass of spirits, or playing cards and breaking their wrists together.

Some people are on a whim and even prepare for a wrestling match.

The soldiers crowded the tavern burst into laughter from time to time.

The noisy sound waves made the ceiling above shake slightly, and the light bulb hanging above shook for a while.

"Here comes our hero!"

Dugan, who was sitting by the bar, caught a glimpse of Luke standing at the door and immediately shouted.

He knocked the table on the bar with his wine glass, like a rhythmic drum, attracting everyone's attention.

The soldiers spontaneously stopped other things, all stood up and clapped.

The whole tavern looks like it's going to be overturned!

Those admiring eyes, grateful eyes.

Turn into a cheer and give it to Luke.

This is respect for war heroes!

"They are so enthusiastic!"

The applause and cheers lasted two minutes. Rogers sat next to his friend and handed him a glass of whisky with ice.

"There's a dance party later. Have you chosen a partner?"

Luke took up his glass and poured the cold and hot liquid into his throat, which made people feel comfortable.

"Why don't I know?"

Rogers opened his eyes wide. Didn't he hear that there was dancing at the celebration?

The captain of the United States thought Luke was joking in the barracks. Is it a little too much to hold a ball before the war is won?

"Howard told me the news. He has chosen his hunting target for tonight."

Luke smiled, bumped Rogers on the shoulder and said, "that's the lucky one who took Captain America's first kiss? It looks good, with beautiful blond hair... See, she's staring at you with affectionate eyes."

"Steve, you're doomed tonight."

The teasing of his friends made Rogers feel ashamed.

After all, in the American atmosphere, a 20-year-old boy has no emotional experience, which is comparable to a pure white paper.

"Not everyone is like Howard stark!"

Rogers lowered his voice and raised his glass to hide his embarrassed expression.

"Well, don't joke about it."

Luke cleared his throat and looked serious.

Then, before long, he leaned his head over and asked with a suppressed smile, "Captain America, are you going to sacrifice your virginity tonight?"

Poof!

Rogers, who was drinking, spouted whisky out of his mouth.

The noise made everyone in the bar laugh.

"Sorry! Sorry, I didn't mean to..."

Rogers was in a hurry, explaining to the innocent bartender and looking angrily at Luke.

However, the latter had already slipped away and disappeared at the stairs on the second floor of the tavern.

"Asshole!"

Rogers, who is always serious, seldom utters a rude word.
