Chapter 1054 (2/2)
Seeing that the atmosphere in the carriage was a little awkward, Howard quickly talked about the meat story, while Frey and Dugan immediately went down the slope and talked about some more meaty things. For a time, the dark lift room was filled with laughter and laughter, and the voice echoed in the deep passage.The underground base was not very deep, so Dugan soon started his car again and drove through the underground tunnel with lights. After a few seconds, everyone suddenly saw the light.
A huge underground space is unfolded in front of us, full of busy people and small vehicles running back and forth. The scene is full of chaos. However, there are still several airplanes parked here, and the dirt track in the distance is being paved with concrete.
The sound of mechanical collision, the sound of workers shouting, the sound of car engine, like symphony, mixed together, here is full of tension.
As the car slowed down, Dugan occasionally poked his head out of the window and yelled for people to get out of the way. A few minutes later, they arrived at an elevator.
”Can I talk to Peggy before the meeting?” Steve looks at Fred. He takes the shield out of the bag behind him and carries it behind him.
Black carbon had no opinion. He reached out and pressed the elevator button: ”she has always been my leader, so it's useless for you to ask me. After the last incident, her work in the White House was very good, and the president was completely convinced by her.”
Howard touched his face, took out a pair of scissors to trim his beard at the brand-new metal elevator door. He said vaguely, ”I'm afraid she's the most powerful woman in America now. It's OK for us who know her well and know her ability, but many people won't be convinced. She's under a lot of pressure.”
Frey nodded. It was good for him that Peggy was the director because she had been following the roaring commandos since World War II, so her team was still the backbone.
But for some, it's not.
Moreover, after so many things, black carbon obviously felt that SSR was full of spies of various forces. This time, it was convenient to conduct a detailed investigation on all the people by taking advantage of the opportunity of reorganization.
Several people went upstairs and met Peggy in the meeting room. At this time, she had put on her military uniform and was busy explaining something to the staff.
She looked up and laughed at Steve. ”Sit down. We'll have a brief meeting to discuss the name of our new agency. There's a procedure going on in Congress.”
”Can I talk to you? Soon. ” Steve came closer and whispered.
”In a hurry?” Peggy's big eyes looked at him, but she nodded. ”Let's go to the tea room nearby. Just wait for us for a few minutes.”
”Well? Is Captain America so fast? ”
Howard whispered to Frey, and the only thing he saw was the huge white eyes of the black people.
When they entered the tea room, Peggy locked the door. She threw herself into Steve's arms and gave her a kiss. After a moment, she whispered, ”I know you miss me, and I miss you very much. I heard that you ran to Cuba, but I'm worried about me. But now business matters here. Can we go to my dormitory later?”
Steve sighed. He patted Peggy on the back. ”I know. I just... Want to ask why you're taking this job? Didn't we agree that we would explore the South Pole first, then travel and get married? ”
”The world has changed, Steve. Our enemies are coming up again, and we can't rest until we completely defeat them. As you can see, this is a life and death battle beyond imagination. What about the two of us... Can we postpone it for a year
Peggy took Steve's hand, looked up at him in the eyes, and said seriously.
The American captain nodded. He touched her hair: ”well, I can understand. Anyway, we still have a long life in the future. It doesn't matter if we get married later. Now that you're going to stay, I'll come back to the team. I'll do you a favor. I'm sure they'll welcome me
”That... Steve?” Peggy frowned and bowed her head a little guilty: ”the president means that you are not fit to appear in public in the near future, even if you are witnessed. I'm glad you want to come back, but I can only be a clerk.”
Her voice was getting smaller, but Steve could hear it clearly.
The damp smell in the tea room could not be dispelled even by the warm light. Steve slowly closed his eyes.
He just killed the bad people who should be killed. He was not wrong. Why did the president issue such an order? Even Peggy compromised?
Seeing that he didn't speak, Peggy put her arms around his waist and shook, ”how about being my secretary? When there is no one, we can dance in the office, like this. ”
She asked with a smile that she had taught him a lot over the years, perhaps because of his promise that Steve would always be happy to dance with her.
However, Steve shook his head. His education was only in high school and he knew his level of knowledge.
No matter how he wants to be with Peggy again, a person who is obviously unqualified takes up the position of secretary of the director, which is not responsible for everyone. In addition, women's leadership has been criticized by many people in this era, and he can't add chaos to Peggy.
”No, you asked me to kill Nazi and little devils, but I'm afraid I can't help you with the paperwork, typing and answering the phone. I'd better retire from the army, eat pension and draw cartoons.”Peggy nodded, and she wouldn't force Steve to do anything: ”well, you're too easy to trust others. It's really not suitable to face the intriguing spy war. Are you really going to draw cartoons?”
”Why not? I was a fan of the two guns when I was a kid, and later Holloway showed me the two revolvers, and I wanted to caricature my previous novels Steve gave a wry smile with a feigned ease. He had a feeling of being abandoned by everyone.
