Steve stood in front of Ash and handed over his filled out documents.
After reading the series of secret information from the Control Bureau and watching the aliens being blown up in front of his eyes, Steve's previous passion on the battlefield returned.
Hoping to find his place, Steve decided to return to the army he was most familiar with, so he made this report to Ash.
Steve is ready. He is not going to rise in rank before doing something great. He is going to charge forward!
"disagree!"
"Thank you sir, I must...what?"
"I disagree! Do you need me to say it again?"
"But...but..."
"But what? But you are Captain America Steve Rogers? But you want to join the Bureau? Why should I agree?"
Ash's words ruthlessly destroyed Steve's preparations. After experiencing so many days of daily life, he already knew how important his identity was for military propaganda.
Comparing all the military services, only the Control Bureau has the right to fire independently and takes over most of the supernatural battles. This allows Steve to see the direction of his efforts.
He was even prepared to sell bonds like he was during World War II, as long as he could participate in frontline battles.
However, Ash was rejected? Who can reject Captain America's application?
"First, your military status is still in the Army, even in the former Strategic Science Corps. If you want to return to the Army, the Army's order of battle and SHIELD will be your first choice."
Steve said: "No, sir, I hope to participate in front-line combat. I can start as a first-class private!"
"But the Bureau of Control does not have a private first class. The lowest combatant rank in the Bureau of Control is Gunnery Sergeant."
Gunnery Sergeant is not a sergeant rank, it is just a nickname within the military. Its actual rank is the second-level sergeant major corresponding to the combat unit. This is enough to serve as a commander in a range firefight.
When the Bureau of Control first merged 141, the overall military rank was already over the limit. What's more, with the addition of Frank Hammer's Marine Corps, the entire command system and combat units have experienced explosive growth. So much so that now
Everyone's military ranks are promoted crazily at certain points.
Ash said: "And you are still using the combat ideas from seventy years ago, Steve, times have changed!"
"I can learn!"
Ash looked at the reluctant Steve, shook his head and said: "Steve Rogers, you have been preserved in ice for seventy years. The army has promoted you as a hero for seventy years. But in fact, you have been preserved in ice for seventy years.
?
The biggest reason why you are being publicized is that you are 'missing'. The military's publicity is not your personal responsibility. After you come back, who will need you?
There's just the propaganda department and the aliens who want to use your name to make big things happen.
In terms of group combat capabilities, you have only led irregular combat units such as the Howling Commandos. In terms of individual combat capabilities, you can't even defeat Peter Parker in the communication room outside with bare hands.
You are not that useful to others now..."
Steve closed his mouth tightly. He also knew that what Ash said was right, but he didn't expect that Ash said it so straightforwardly.
Ash closed Steve's document, gave it back to him, and said: "If you want to go to war, go to SHIELD. They are your old army. You can lead SHIELD's combat troops, I believe
They will also welcome you..."
Having said this, the meaning of rejection is no longer open to debate.
Steve looked at Ash lonely, gave a military salute and left.
After Steve left, in the open space next to Ash, fluctuations appeared, and Stark, wearing a suit, retreated from the invisibility state.
The aggressive blue and orange Mark 27 armor has internal circulation and good sealing. In the stealth state, even enhanced people like Steve cannot detect his existence.
Stark took off his armor, sat on the sofa, and asked: "You really don't want him? You must know that he is a flag. As long as he exists, your status in the military will be unshakable..."
Ash looked at the excited Stark and asked, "Do I need it?"
Stark then calmed down and looked at the drafty office. The training slogans coming from outside made Stark think about the current control situation.
For Ash, the Control Bureau is enough. He also has Lothrik, and even has his own dimension. With the addition of Steve Rogers, the meaning of the responsibilities he bears will be different.
If the number of people continues to increase, or the appeal becomes stronger, the Control Bureau will be the next target.
Stark shrugged and said, "Okay, you convinced me..."
Ash looked at Stark's "I understand your plan" look, shook his head and started to read the documents in his hand.
Steve is no problem to Ash. There is only one reason why he doesn't accept Steve!
That is, Bucky killed Stark's parents. Although they were controlled by Hydra, the scene of strangling Howard and Maria to death in that operation still remains.
And during the Civil War, Stark asked Steve in a hoarse voice for an explanation and apology. Even though Steve escaped with Bucky, he did not let Bucky apologize.
These two people will eventually become opposites. If Steve is allowed to join the Control Bureau, things will be difficult to handle later.
Stark is a brother who shares weal and woe, as does everyone in the Bureau. As the chief officer, Ash cannot separate this contradiction at all.
So I simply let Steve go to SHIELD. After all, Hydra no longer cares about taking the blame.
Stark saw that Ash's signing hand had waved away, and asked: "Are you in such a hurry today? Pepper is shopping with the Fireproof Girl. According to Jarvis's calculations, they don't have seven hours.
Coming back..."
Ash said without raising his head: "Shanalot has turned into a cocoon. I have to go back and watch just in case..."
There was a knock on the door at this moment, and Ash sighed.
Stark smiled and said: "It seems you have no chance..."
As soon as Anderson opened the door, he saw Ash's resentful eyes.
Anderson swallowed involuntarily and said hurriedly: "Sir, the highest level of warning, codenamed 'Broken Arrow'!"
Broken Arrow is a fixed codename that will only describe one situation, the nuclear weapon is damaged or lost.
Looking at Anderson's nervous look, it was definitely not damaged. The damage would be dealt with by the three defense units.
Ash rubbed his temples and said helplessly: "Tell me, whose lost it? Where was it lost?"
"No one's possessions were lost. The nuclear weapons storage facility in the Las Vegas desert was invaded by unknown creatures, and the entire storage warehouse was lost..."
Hearing this, Ash pinched the pen in his hand and broke it. An entire nuclear weapons storage warehouse? The earth is indeed unsafe!
Ash threw down the broken pen and hurriedly stood in front of the window and said, "Just pretend I didn't come to work today!"
