Superman

In the past, no one looked down on those low-status, poor and impoverished immigrant groups.

But the "urban bosses" keenly discovered their value, and the gangs formed by workers at first gradually changed.

One accepts the protection of interest groups, and the other provides stable votes for politicians.

The two sides hit it off!

However, no one expected the subsequent development.

"Prohibition" provided gangs with a lot of wealth, coupled with the rise of trade unions, labor movements occurred frequently.

The gangster, the monster, finally tore open the cage of social law!

They hold enough wealth in one hand and win over politicians through votes in the other.

And work with unions to get legal status.

All of a sudden, rapid development!

Like Uncle Frank's Irish gang, they have a close relationship with Mr. Jimmy Hoffa, the top of the National Truck Driver Brotherhood.

The union represented nearly 100 million truck drivers and warehouse workers, and later peaked at 230 million members.

It can be said that if you run for mayor or councilor, you can get help from the trade union, which is no different from directly declaring victory.

Gangsters, trade unions, and politicians form a tight chain of interests.

"It's a pity that this glory didn't last long."

Luke thought silently.

Whether Irish or Italian.

Their power was once at its peak.

The former succeeded in getting Kennedy elected president, and the latter had close ties with Edgar Hoover, the first director of the FBI.

It's just that gangsters are only deformed products of social turmoil after all.

With the end of World War II, their inevitable decline.

If it becomes a tool in the hands of politicians and interest groups, it will never regain its former glory.

"There is no future in the Marvel world for being a mafia boss, even with Jin Bin's status!"

This is what Luke thinks in his heart.

"What a bastard Gao Luyuan! You won't even be asked to join a gang, and you won't be willing to be a truck driver and take over my position in the future! Don't tell me you still want to be a war hero?"

Seeing Luke's indifferent expression, Frank became angry.

He has a good relationship with Mr. Jimmy Hoffa of the National Truck Drivers Brotherhood, so he can't clean the house. After retirement, he served as the honorary president of a branch of the union.

Although it's just a name, it can receive a generous salary every month.

If you say hello by yourself, the gang and Mr. Hoffa should take more care of Luke.

"Uncle Frank, don't worry about this! Come on, put on a blanket!"

Luke didn't retort, just grinning and draped the thick blanket over Frank's legs.

If he followed Captain America and joined the Roaring Commando, he might really be honored as a war hero!

It's a pity that even if they become heroes, they are still tools and mascots in the hands of politicians and capitalists.

So, Luke had another idea.

Chapter 7 Organizationally decided

New York, somewhere in a military camp.

In the meeting room, the heroic female officer was reporting the situation to her superior.

"Colonel Phillips, I think there is something wrong with that guy named Luke Carville!"

After Carter briefly summarized the attack that Dr. Erskine encountered in the venue of tomorrow's fair, he talked about Luke who was listed as a suspect.

"I have seen the wounds of those German spies, all of them were killed by a single shot! It is impossible for ordinary people to do this! Carville must have practiced marksmanship, and he is quite good!"

The female officer said the conclusion in a firm tone.

After leaving the conscription station, the suspicion in her heart never dissipated.

A young man from Brooklyn single-handedly took out a well-trained professional spy, which sounds incredible.

There are too many things that don't make sense!

So Carter believes that this is likely to be Hydra's conspiracy.

Gain access to Dr. Erskine by sacrificing those German spies!

Then, implement the evil plan!

Germany may be more inclined to kidnap than to kill Dr. Erskine.

The value of the super soldier serum is there after all.

Whoever gets it can control the world war situation.

The influence and threat it can cause cannot be ignored!

Colonel Phillips, who was sitting in his seat, shook his head and said in a deep voice, "He has no problem."

"I have sent someone to investigate! Luke Cavill, his parents are Irish immigrants, and his parents died very early. He dropped out of Bronx Science High School at the age of 17. His teachers are very sorry, because Cavill's grades are excellent, He is very talented in learning! He gets a scholarship every year!"

"Then why did he drop out?"

Carter was puzzled.

"You have to know that Irish immigrants are not welcome. It is very common to be bullied and play pranks. Therefore, Cavill often fights with others at school. When encountering this situation, the teacher can only call the parents, but he no parents"

Colonel Phillips shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Every time he fights with the kids at school, he has to face unreasonable adults. For a 17-year-old guy, this is not easy to handle." trouble."

Carter was silent.

She could imagine how difficult those years were for Luke Cavill, who was an orphan.

"But where did he get the firearms and learn the marksmanship?"

Carter said hesitantly.

Through the colonel's narration, she dispelled her doubts.

It's just that Carter didn't understand how an ordinary young man in Brooklyn could have such precise marksmanship!

"Cavill's uncle Frank is a veteran, the kind who really survived the fighting on the battlefield. He later joined the Irish gangsters, did some shady dirty work, and is now retired as an honorary member of a branch of the Truckers Union. long."

Colonel Phillips told his subordinates the results of the investigation.

Carter has always been relatively good and strong, and his work ability is also very good.

It's just that she is a little obsessed with performance, and she doesn't lose to any male side.

This gave Colonel Phillips a headache.

He wouldn't have such a good temper if it wasn't for the fact that the other party was British and not a faction of the American military.

After all, the members of the Strategic Science Corps are very complicated, with talents drawn from all over the world.

Carter is one of them.

"Luke Carvel is not a German spy, he has nothing to do with the Germans! I don't think Hitler can turn a young man who grew up in Brooklyn into a German spy no matter how he knows how to instigate people."

"Of course, Cavill has indeed done some disgraceful things, but the Strategic Science Corps is not interested in those. Fighting gangsters is not our job! Fighting Hydra, defeating the Axis powers and winning the war is what it is!"

Colonel Phillips emphasized his tone, signaling his subordinates not to continue to entangle this person.

He didn't want Carter to poke the hornet's nest of the Irish gang!

Those people are now joining forces with trade unions to help politicians absorb votes and interfere in elections.

In recent years, the power has grown stronger.

Even Colonel Phillips didn't want to cause such unnecessary trouble!

Who knows how many congressmen from Capitol Hill are standing behind them!

Instead, he seemed to think of something, and said, "However, Erskine seems to be very interested in those two people. Luke Cavill, what's the name of the little guy?"

"Steve Rogers."

Carter replied.

"That's right! Erskine wants to recruit the two of them to the Caspian training camp."

Colonel Phillips pondered for a moment, then asked, "What do you think about this, Carter?"

Caspian training camp, ostensibly a place for training recruits.

The real function is to select the experimenters who are injected with the super soldier serum.

The meaning revealed by Erskine is undoubtedly to make Luke Cavill and Steve Rogers selected.

Colonel Phillips had no problem with the former.

Luke was tall, strong and powerful, and he dealt with three German spies by himself.

Even if he is not selected in the end, it does not hinder the fact that he will become a good soldier.

but

Steve Rogers?

The thin little man who looks like he could be blown down by a gust of wind?

How ridiculous it would be for the Allies to rely on such people for their salvation!

"If that's Dr. Erskine's idea, then I'm all right, Colonel!"

Carter thought for a while before giving an answer.

"Okay then, I'll leave it to you. I want to see them on the train to New Jersey."

Colonel Phillips nodded and handed over the task.

He figured it out. Anyway, with Rogers' physique, he might not even be able to survive the basic training of recruits.

As for being chosen, to be a super soldier?

Compared with this, Colonel Phillips is more willing to believe that Adolf Hitler will find out his conscience and immediately declare his surrender!

Boom boom boom!

Luke returned to the residence and opened the door.

"Steve, can you tell me what's going on here?"

Looking at Rogers standing outside the door, and the female officer with a frosty face, Luke asked in surprise.

He thought that the Strategic Science Corps would investigate him, and maybe pull him in for questioning in the name of assisting in handling the case.

As an important figure protected by the military, Abraham Erskine is fully qualified for this level.

just

Steve, why are you so happy?

I can hardly hold back the smile on my face!

Could it be that it is a good thing to be taken to interrogation by agents?

"Luke! I can join the army! We leave for New Jersey tomorrow!"

Rodgers' joy was almost volcanic.

The depression he had accumulated for many days finally dissipated!

Luke's heart moved and he reacted immediately.

This is being recruited!

Although the plot has changed, under the influence of the inertia of the timeline, Steve Rogers is still on the road to becoming "Captain America".

"I thought the process would be a little more tortuous."

Luke calmed down and regained his composure.
