Chapter 119

"Paper clip program?"

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

"In other words, the president secretly extradited a group of German scientists, and the s.h.i.e.l.e.l.d. also absorbed part of the forces of Hydra. But won't the enemy infiltrate and pose a threat to national security?"

The captain of the United States looked puzzled.

As an intelligence agency, the first issue for the Divine Shield bureau should be to ensure its own confidentiality.

Actively recruiting hydras is tantamount to creating latent opportunities for spies.

Invisible, increase certain risks.

At that time, what should we do when the s.h.i.e.l.d. becomes a new Hydra?

"This plan was first carried out by the military. They took a fancy to the V-1 and V-2 rockets of the third empire and the new technology of ballistic missiles, and wanted to get it."

Luke shrugged and said easily.

The most scarce thing in the 20th century is talent. The new president also understood this truth, so he approved the "paper clip plan".

During World War II, the military industry of the Third Reich was extremely developed, and all kinds of black science and technology were not poor. It was well deserved to be the first in strength.

It's normal for the White House and the Pentagon to look greedy.

It is their nature to take things by force and put interests first.

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

Luke paused and said with a smile: "ironically, almost all German scientists, engineers and other technical personnel who have the conditions for recruitment and extradition are basically closely related to the Na party, and some even meet the standards of war criminals."

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

Although we know that out of the entanglement of interests in all aspects, the national image may not be as bright as it appears.

But the thought of recruiting war criminals to government departments was still somewhat unacceptable to him.

"Those people should be tried."

Rogers whispered.

Seeing the depressed look of the US captain, Luke continued to talk about the black history of the federal government: "that's just your personal view. 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 to vigorously collect relevant staff for Fighter, missile and rocket projects."

"Among them, Arthur L. Rudolph once managed an arsenal and was a talent in rocket manufacturing. However, he was also a notorious war criminal who committed the brutal crimes of hanging slave workers, slaughtering and maltreating prisoners of war."

"And Werner von Braun, now a senior engineer of the army equipment design and Research Bureau, is the designer of V-2 missiles. He has killed thousands of people in Britain and is a fanatical Third Reich."

Luke spoke in great detail. Every word struck Rogers like a sledgehammer.

"Steve, there is no absolute justice in the world. The country you protect, or the spirit you defend, is not great."

Luke, who is clearly the director of aegis and major general of the army, unkindly ridiculed this capital country packaged as a beacon of freedom.

But then again, the paper clip program does have a great impact on the United States during development.

For example, that's Warner von Braun, a war criminal.

He had a bright resume and entered the Berlin Institute of technology in 1930.

Four years later, he received his 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, he went to the United States and developed Saturn 5, which successfully achieved the amazing feat of landing on the moon.

It can be said to be another Howard stark in rocket manufacturing and aerospace industry.

"What about the s.h.i.e.l.d.?"

Rogers was a little hard to accept and looked at Luke in his seat.

"Almost. Like Dr. anim Zola, he used to make energy weapons for the red skeleton and now works for the s.h.i.e.l.d. so we will let bygones be bygones for his previous crimes."

Luke nodded without concealing.

The "paper clip program" also benefited the s.h.i.e.l.d.

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

In addition to the special status of Superman and the amazing operations of asking for funds and expanding power and responsibilities.

For a small part, I also want to thank Hydra for his generous help.

This old opponent made the reorganized strategic science Corps quickly complete its original accumulation.

"Don't be too obsessed with justice, kindness and moral conscience, Steve. You can pursue those good things, but you can't take them as the standard to measure everything in the world."

Luke still began to boil poisonous chicken soup and play the role of life mentor.

It seems interesting to transform the unswerving captain of the United States.

"I never think about how many people Howard killed with the weapons he manufactured and sold."

"Let alone think that anim Zola was once a loyal supporter of the third empire. He once worked hard for Hydras and red skeletons, and his hands were covered with the blood of Allied soldiers."

"Because it's meaningless. It's useless except to plunge yourself into the contradiction between moral conscience and cruel reality."

Rogers' lips wriggled as if to say something.

His childhood education and cognition is to be a good person, stick to the bottom line and don't easily hurt others.

But Luke's words, like a bullet, broke the strong defense line of the captain of the United States and made him waver.

"But..."

Rogers looked up as if he were skeptical about life.

"There's nothing, but. If you look at truth and reality separately, I'm Superman, a war hero, and the object of public worship."

Luke smiled and whispered, "but I am also the director of aegis, major general of the army, a true authority and leader. I need to safeguard my own interests and stick to my position. For this reason, I even have to do some 'bad things' against morality."

"These two identities are put together, which is not contrary."

Rogers's mind was confused, as if he had suffered 10000 mental attacks.

He looked down at the gold shield in his hand and the Star Spangled Banner printed on his chest.

For a moment, I was at a loss.

"Maybe I'm not fit to be a captain."

After a while, Rogers laughed at himself.

"I'm glad you're here, Luke. All I have to do is be a soldier and dive forward."

Luke, who poured several bowls of life philosophy poisonous Chicken Soup for the American captain, stood up, patted each other on the shoulder and said, "go to my house for dinner tonight. Malina's workmanship is good."

A few minutes later, the conversation was over.

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

"Dr. Zola, you heard it."

Luke shook his wine glass and said to the office compartment, "I know what hydra is going to do. You rely on the 'paper clip plan' to infiltrate the s.h.i.e.l.d. and plan to revive and start over."

"The most dangerous places are often the safest. After the collapse of the red skeleton, the hydra's forces were divided into three. Some were recruited by the s.h.i.e.l.d., some were taken away by Baron Tesla, and some were hidden and secretly penetrated into the interior of the federal government."

Dr. Zola, who was short and fat, pushed the door out with small steps.

He stayed in the cubicle of the office early and heard all kinds of information about the Hellfire club and the "paper clip project".

"Major general, I have abandoned the secret! Hydra is doomed to have no future, and the Divine Shield bureau is the future!"

Dr. Zola said sincerely.

Luke handed him a glass of red wine, shook his head and said, "you're wrong, Dr. Zola. I'm very optimistic about Hydras. They are well organized, have excellent penetration ability, and have intelligence networks all over the world, which is much better than the Divine Shield."

Trembling, Dr. Zola took the glass.

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

Do you have to settle the old account that you are a hydra?

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

Luke smiled more and more and said sincerely, "do you think I can be a qualified Hydra?"
