Chapter 1054 (1/2)
”Why do you come to pick me up? New York is my place. There's no need to be so active. ”
Howard got off the boat and bought newspapers and hamburgers. He quickly felt the taste of civilized society. He had been drilling in the rainforest. He felt that he would become a savage.
It was Frey who met him on the dock. Not only was he here, but there were several other roaring commandos hiding in the dark of the street.
”Captain, Dr. stark.” Frey said hello to both of them in a very plain way.
Steve smiles and nods. He searches the crowd for Peggy, but doesn't see her.
Howard bit hamburger and looked at the newspaper in his hand. The headline on the front page read: ”in the face of the year-end tragedy, a responsible organization was ordered to disband.” although he did not make it clear, people familiar with the matter knew that SSR had been disbanded.
He looked at Fred again and understood.
”Well, you and the roaring commandos are out of work, aren't you? If you want to find a job, my stark industry can hire you to be security guards. Fred, you can be the security director. The annual salary is the same
With that, Howard held out his fingers and shook them like rabbit ears in front of Frey, meaning 20000 dollars.
Although he was still wearing a ragged suit and a seaman's coat, he was confident when he talked about money.
In 1955, the per capita annual wage in the United States was about 4500 dollars. Howard didn't believe that the number could increase in just one year. Twenty thousand dollars a year, how many mercenaries lose their lives in Africa and Latin America, and they can't earn the money, which is worthy of Frey's ability.
However, Frith did not have any heart, just looked at him without expression: ”it's not this matter, we are here to meet you for a meeting.”
”Meeting? What's the meeting? ”
Howard watched the people coming and going on the dock. The reporter who had a keen sense of smell came to film the warship. He was a little disappointed.
He is going to eat, drink, sleep, and then peep at his destined wife, who has no time for meetings.
”I don't know what it is, but agent Carter is waiting for you over there, President's secret order.”
”Yes, it's troublesome. Can you stop by Wilson's? I have to change. ”
Howard was more serious, but he couldn't wear it since he was going to a meeting.
Steve nodded. Although they had taken a bath on the warship, they really needed to change their clothes. Although he was a veteran, Frey had pushed him into the car. Is there something that needs to be discussed?
”I'm afraid we don't have that time.” Dugan turned his head and said with a smile. As soon as he turned the steering wheel and drove the car to the countryside, the small black car was driven fast, just like when Stuka was chasing after him in the enemy's rear.
More than ten minutes later, in a farm like old barn on the outskirts of New Jersey, the car drove in and sank with the ground.
”Secret base again? I knew the people in Congress wouldn't let us dissolve easily. ” Stark rummaged through the car and found a pack of cigarettes: ”aha, I think you'll have cigarettes in your cars, too.”
”This is the” playground ”. In the early years, the reserve base, which was built under the leadership of agent 13, was originally built for fear that the enemy would land during World War II.” There was no light on the elevator, and Frey's whole body seemed to disappear in the carriage, and a pair of floating teeth opened and closed: ”SSR has been disbanded, and all of us have been dismissed from military posts. Therefore, the president has instructed us to establish a new organization, separate from the control of the military, and let him be directly under the jurisdiction of the people's Congress. We have been discussing whether to call it SRS or RSS before.”
”Can't we let go of the s and R? Anyway, it's a cover. Just call it an office or a plan? ” With the sound of the turning gear of the machine, Howard put on smoke.
”And Peggy? What does she mean? ” Steve wanted to ask her why she looked so busy.
Frey sighs. He knows that Steve is out of the army, and Peggy has quit SSR to travel around the world with him.
But I'm afraid not now.
”The president appointed her to be the first manager of the new organization, and I'm sorry, Steve, your marriage...”
Steve raised his hand and interrupted him before he finished.
The hand slowly retracted, Steve covered his face in the dark and sighed.
Peggy has always said that she wants to retire early, travel and get married, but now she is in charge of the secret service agency in the United States. Why does she say something different from what she does?
Frey and Dugan look at each other. The bearded Dame flicks his teeth and shakes his head. It's better for outsiders to keep quiet about the captain and number 13.
