Chapter 353 Steve's Faith Breakdown
Steve's mood gradually calmed down, and he finally tried to contact the world.

Fury was so busy with work that he didn't have time to be his tour guide, so he sent Coulson over to accompany Steve on a tour of the new world.

At the same time, in view of the turmoil in SHIELD today, Lu Dan dare not expose the US team to the eyes of Hydra, for fear that this outdated veteran will be plotted as soon as he wakes up, so he is going to let him use Bai Jinglan for a while .

Bai Jinglan agreed.

After the three of them left the cafe, they walked through the noisy Times Square and stepped onto the famous Fifth Avenue.

Like a crazy fan, Coulson excitedly pointed to nearby attractions and described decades of changes to his idol.

Steve's expression was calm.

However, Bai Jinglan could feel the unrest in his heart.

"Steve, how do you feel?" he asked.

"Feel?"

Steve smiled self-deprecatingly, "The only feeling is—this isn't real, it's just my dream, a nightmare."

He was silent for a while, tears flashed in the corner of his eyes, he shook the magazine in his hand, pointed to the photo of Roosevelt on it, and said sadly: "But, I know this is not a nightmare... He was our leader, he led We survived the war, but he didn't live to see it, I could never have dreamed of something so cruel."

President Roosevelt is the idol of Captain America, just as Coulson worships him, he also worships the president who led the United States out of the woods.

Coulson smiled sadly: "Mr. Roosevelt is also my idol. Although he passed away, I believe he must be very pleased. Think about it, we have conquered polio, organ transplants, pacemakers, telephones, Computers, these things are taken for granted, and people's lives are getting better and better..."

"Agent Coulson."

Steve looked at him, his expression suddenly became serious, "Don't forget, I am a fighter created in a laboratory, and I am the result of cutting-edge technology... To me, technology cannot impress me, yours Telephones, computers, etc., are indeed gizmos of mad scientists, but not real achievements."

He looked around and said calmly: "Society itself is the achievement, the freedom of the people, all people, regardless of race and gender, this is what I have pursued in my life. I want to know whether our sacrifices are worth it."

Coulson hurriedly said, "Of course, in today's society..."

Bai Jinglan interrupted him, and said with a half-smile: "The United States is the only superpower today. You want to know how it became so 'great', right?"

Steve nodded: "Yes!"

"Well then, let me tell you some little stories."

Bai Jinglan rubbed his chin, and said sarcastically, "Well, let's start with something in 1931."

Steve couldn't laugh or cry: "Mr. White, I'm not an alien. I lived in that era. I think I should know the stories of that era better than you."

Bai Jinglan said firmly: "No, you must not understand what I want to say."

When Coulson saw his expression, although he didn't know what he was going to say, he somehow felt something was wrong.

Bai Jinglan ignored his reaction, and said slowly: "Beginning in 1932, led by the U.S. Department of Public Health Services, in conjunction with Tuskegee University in Alabama, a 40-year-long Secret human experiments, they gathered nearly a thousand black people, in the name of helping the black community to provide free medical services, injected them with syphilis virus, just to test the treatment of syphilis... Also, another experiment started a few years later , The government spread the experimental targets, including prisoners serving sentences in prisons, as well as American soldiers stationed near the prisons.”

Steve's expression turned cold in an instant.

In the era when he lived, syphilis was still almost incurable. One can imagine how vicious the government's approach is.

Coulson's lips trembled, and he continued in a friendly voice: "Uh...the government has admitted its mistakes and paid due compensation to all victims."

"However, by the time your president went to apologize and pay the victims, only a few of them were dead."

Bai Jinglan snorted and continued, "Also, from 1951 to 1962, the US government exploded 26 nuclear bombs in Nevada without notifying the local residents, with a total radiation equivalent of 1.5 million. Curie, 20 times the size of the Chernobyl nuclear leak. The government not only did not evacuate the local residents, but also ordered soldiers to be exposed to nuclear radiation at close range, resulting in the death of hundreds of thousands of civilians and soldiers from terminal illness... Well, this The experiment is still very meaningful, at least it proves that as long as people are not in the high radiation range, what people may end up with is not cancer, but leukemia."

In other words, the United States is a truly "great" country, and the little devils at least use the citizens of other countries for biochemical experiments, while the United States will not spare even its own people.

Steve clenched his fists and turned to look at Coulson.

He didn't know what the Chernobyl nuclear leak was, but he still knew a little about nuclear bombs. After all, he was in the era when the first nuclear bomb exploded.

Throwing such a terrifying thing into your own home?

Coulson pursed his lips and said weakly: "The government realized the mistake and made compensation."

"Yes, your government often admits mistakes."

Bai Jinglan curled her lips, "It's like tricking pregnant women into taking drugs with unknown effects, causing a large number of pregnant women to miscarry and giving birth to a lot of deformed children; tricking children with cerebral palsy into taking high-radiation cereals to test the impact of radiation on the human brain... United States China's 'greatness' is based on deceiving and hurting countless people, not only hurting foreigners, but also hurting its own people, and in order to gain benefits, it can do everything it can."

He stared at Steve, and said with a smile: "You overthrew the Communist Party with your blood, but the country you are loyal to has become a new Communist Party, instilling hegemony in the world, countless civilians and soldiers, the United States, From other countries, use your blood to pave the way for the United States, so that you can use 5% of the world's population and consume 25% of the world's resources. This is why the United States is "great"... The dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon, I don't know you How do you feel?"

"This is not the world we want to build!"

Steve gritted his teeth and let out a low growl, the low air pressure that was almost visible to the naked eye spread from his body.

He looked at the tall buildings, which were the future they were looking forward to, happiness and stability. Looking at it now, it was like seeing devils with teeth and claws. He felt a piercing coldness.

"team leader……"

Coulson wanted to cry but had no tears, so he could only persuasion, "The country has indeed done a lot of wrong things, but we are constantly making corrections... I think we have worked together to walk out of the ashes of the world war. You are right about this Every vision that the country has, although not all in sight, will all be realized one day, I..."

Before he finished speaking, Steve's expression returned to calm again.

Unlike the calmness before, he was like stagnant water at this time.

Steve looked at Coulson and asked, "Agent Coulson, do you know who my direct commander is now?"

Coulson was stunned: "Direct commander?"

Steve changed the question: "Is the President still Commander-in-Chief?"

Coulson was at a loss: "Uh, yes."

"Then, he is the one who is sure to accept my resignation..." Steve nodded and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Oh, maybe my career journey as Captain America should have ended long ago."

"what?!"

Coulson turned pale, "Captain, wait a minute..."

Before he could finish speaking, Steve's expression suddenly changed, and his footsteps stopped suddenly, and he rushed towards the alley a hundred meters away at a speed comparable to that of a car.

"team leader?!"

Coulson was stunned, and hurriedly chased after him.

However, his physique couldn't catch up with the US team, and he lost his target in the blink of an eye.

Coulson could only ask Bai Jinglan for help: "Mr. White, the captain..."

Bai Jinglan shrugged, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, he just encountered a chance to be brave."
