Chapter 786 I owe her a dance
A few days later, the Allies intercepted a secret message.
The content is: Due to the evil Allied forces' continuous destruction of several important experimental bases in recent days, the Head of State was very angry and ordered the Red Skull to immediately launch an effective counterattack and destroy the Allied resistance at all costs.
To know intelligence like this, the Allies intercepted hundreds of them every day.
Basically, all orders were issued from Berlin, from the head of state himself, to the generals at the front of each front.
It can be as large as commanding a certain legion's strategic plan, or as small as ordering a certain company to stand firm and not retreat, which fully reflects his love for micro-management.
Originally, the Allies didn't care much about this kind of information. After all, it had no real significance.
But in the next few days, Berlin sent a total of eighteen telegrams, all urging the Red Skull to act as soon as possible.
Then a piece of information sent to Berlin from somewhere in the Siberian ice sheet cheered up the Allied codebreakers.
That was a piece of information from Hydra headquarters, and the Red Skull responded to the leader.
The intelligence vaguely mentioned an experiment, which the Red Skull called 'can reverse the occupation in one fell swoop', 'easily destroy the Allied resistance', and 'the key to human evolution in the new era'. As long as the head of state waited patiently for half a month, He will surely be able to lead the Hydra to crush all resistance.
A large amount of human experiment data was stored in a base that Captain America had previously destroyed.
These experimental data all show that Hydra is conducting a secret research. By replicating the powerful ability of the "matrix", it can create a huge space-time lag position, and even invent "weapons that accelerate time in the area."
This secret plan attracted great attention from the Allies.
Because once this secret experiment succeeds, the enemy they will face is a monster that can manipulate time.
The Howling Commandos are tasked with thwarting HYDRA's plot at all costs.
All information related to this project will be sealed and sent to the Pentagon of the United States.
Based on the sporadic clues mentioned in the intelligence, Howard used the black technology left behind by the German army to successfully reverse engineer the source of the signal and found the Red Skull's hiding place, which was located in an underground base between the Alps.
Now that the Red Skull's hiding place has been determined, the next step is to formulate an attack plan.
The members of the Howling Commandos are not only limited to the combat team, but also have a series of logistical support personnel, such as Howard Stark, Peggy Carter, etc. At this time, everyone gathered around the war sand table and engaged in fierce battles. discuss.
"I still feel like something's wrong."
Howard folded his hands on his chest and frowned: "The Red Skull has always been very cautious. Such intensive telegram communication can easily expose his location. He cannot be ignorant of this matter. I think there must be something wrong!"
"I agree with Howard's view." Peggy, as the rear commander of the team, also has a serious attitude of doubt: "From our past experience in fighting Hydra, it is unlikely that the Red Skull will reveal such a big flaw. Man, this base must have been leaked on purpose.”
"Maybe as you said, this is a trap."
Steve sat on a chair, put his hands on his chin, stared at the sand table with a faint look, and said in a deep voice: "But we have no choice, unless we are willing to gamble with the lives of tens of millions of soldiers on the front line. This secret base is a trap set by the Red Skull.”
As soon as these words came out, Howard and Paige were speechless.
"Answer my question, do you dare to bet on this possibility?" Steve stood up slowly, with a hint of oppression in his voice: "What if the Red Skull is really hiding in this base, what if that plan is really true?" If it succeeds, what will be the consequences?”
"The Allied forces were defeated across the board... They will rule the entire world." Howard said bitterly: "I can't imagine what kind of dark abyss mankind will move towards under the rule of communism."
"Perhaps... we can wait a little longer to confirm the authenticity of the intelligence before taking action, instead of blindly running into the Red Skull's trap like now." Peggy bit her lips tightly, and this reason was repeated. She couldn't convince herself.
"Paige, you know very well in your heart that this is not the right thing to do." Steve stared into the woman's eyes. There was deep worry hidden in them, but he still said firmly: "We can't afford to bet. The Allies bet." I can’t afford it, so I have to go, even if it’s a trap.”
During the dispute between the three, a soldier broke in and brought shocking news.
Through the spies planted by the Allied forces, the traces of the Red Skull were secretly photographed and it was determined that he was at that mountain base.
But here's the thing...the Red Skull only stays for eight hours.
Eight hours later, he would have moved the entire base and gone into hiding again.
This time card was very accurate. The Allies could not mobilize large-scale aircraft to bomb that area within eight hours. The number of fighters was too small to break through the base's defense, and it also eliminated the possibility of large-scale infantry assaults.
It must be said that the Red Skull's calculation was quite accurate, cutting off any way they could ask for backup.
"It's really the Red Skull..." Howard looked at the photo. After being silent for a long time, he sighed and said, "This is an invitation letter. He is inviting you to come over and tell us his location openly, and We can’t say no yet.”
After dealing with the Red Skull for so long, how could they not know this guy's nature?
His whereabouts were photographed by Allied spies. This kind of lie is almost enough to deceive a child. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this photo was obviously taken deliberately by him in order to invite Captain America Steve Rogers.
The thoughts and competition between both sides were put on the table at this moment.
The Red Skull's intention is obvious, and he doesn't even mean to hide it at all. He just wants to force Captain America to come over in an honest and aboveboard way.
In order to make Captain America jump into the trap voluntarily, the Red Skull did not hesitate to use himself as bait, and also added another heavy weight to the already tilted scales, the time stasis stance and time acceleration mentioned in the plan arms.
Even if the plan only had a one in 10,000 chance of success, Steve couldn't sit idly by.
He couldn't gamble on the success or failure of the entire Allied Forces on the one in ten thousand chance.
There is only one choice.
Accept the invitation of the Red Skull and go to the dragon's den and the tiger's den.
"Let all team members be on standby." Steve said with a sharp look in his eyes: "Whether it is a trap or not, we have to break through. Although it is very dangerous, this is our only chance to destroy Hydra. !”
"I understand what you mean." Howard took a deep look at him and finally nodded: "I'm going to check the equipment now. Although some things have just been invented,... you'd better bring them with you. It should work. It works to the point.”
After that, Howard looked at Paige again and said, "You should have something else to say, so I won't disturb you."
After Howard left, Paige's eyes were filled with moisture, her teeth were biting her red lips, and she was clenching her sleeves with her hands, trying to control her emotions.
Steve could no longer suppress the surging emotions and took a step forward to take Paige into his arms.
Sniffing the slightly fragrant hair on the tip of her nose, she hugged Paige tightly with her arms, as if she wanted to integrate her into herself.
"You still... owe me a dance."
Peggy leaned in the man's arms, listened to his heartbeat, and whispered: "Next Saturday... at the Stork Club, eight o'clock sharp, no lateness allowed, do you understand?"
"Wait for me, Paige."
Steve said firmly: "I will definitely come back. When the time comes...you teach me how to dance."
