“‘Paperclip plan’?”

Rogers in the director's office closed the thick file folder in his hand.

"In other words, the president secretly extradited a group of German scientists, and S.H.I.E.D. also absorbed some of the power of Hydra. But will this not allow the enemy to infiltrate, thus posing a threat to national security?"

Captain America showed a little puzzled look.

As an intelligence agency, SHIELD's primary issue should be to ensure its own confidentiality.

Taking the initiative to recruit Hydra is equivalent to creating opportunities for spies to lurk.

Invisibly, a certain risk is increased.

At that time, what should we do if SHIELD becomes a new Hydra?

"This plan was originally carried out by the military. They were interested in the new technology of the Third Reich V-1, V2 rockets and ballistic missiles, and wanted to get it."

Luke shrugged and said with ease.

The scariest thing in the 20th century is talent, and the new president also understood this principle, so he approved the "paper clip plan".

During World War II, the Third Reich's military industry was extremely developed, and all kinds of black technology were not out of poverty, so it was well-deserved first in strength.

The White House and the Pentagon were jealous, which was normal.

Their nature is to seize the powerful and profit first.

"At first, many people opposed this plan because according to regulations, the US military, which belongs to the ally, is prohibited from dealing directly with war criminals."

Luke paused and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Ironically, almost all German scientists and engineers who have the conditions for recruitment and extradition have basically had close ties with the Nazi Party, and some even meet the standards of war criminals."

Rogers looked shocked with a "strange knowledge increased."

Although we know that out of entanglement of interests in all aspects, the image of the country may not be as glorious as it appears on the surface.

But when he thought about recruiting war criminals to government departments, he still felt a little unacceptable.

“Those people deserve to be judged.”

Rogers whispered.

Seeing Captain America's frustrated look, Luke continued to talk about the dark history of the federal government: "That's just your personal opinion. The president and generals don't think so. In order to ensure strategic interests, they bypassed these rules and dispatched more than 700 intelligence personnel to vigorously collect relevant staff from projects such as fighter jets, missiles and rockets."

"Among them, Arthur L-Rudolph, who once managed an arsenal, was a talent in rocket manufacturing. However, he was also a notorious war criminal, committing the brutal crime of hanging slave laborers, massacre, and abuse of prisoners of war."

"There is also Warner von Braun, who is now a senior engineer at the Army Equipment Design and Research Bureau, the designer of the V-2 missile. He has killed thousands of people in the UK and is a fanatical Third Reich."

Luke said it in detail, and every word was like a sledgehammer, hitting Rogers' heart.

"Steve, there is no absolute justice in this world. The country you guard, or the spirit of defense, is actually not great."

Luke, who is clearly Chief of SHIELD and Major General of the Army, unceremoniously mocked this capital country that was packaged as a lighthouse of freedom.

But then again, the Paperclip Program does have a great impact on America during development.

For example, the Warner von Braun, who was a war criminal.

This person has a brilliant resume and entered the Berlin University of Technology in 1930.

Four years later, he received his PhD in physics from Humboldt University and his graduation thesis was rated as the highest level.

In just two years, the V-2 missile was designed, which was the earliest ballistic missile in the world to be put into actual combat.

Later, he went to the United States and developed Saturn 5, which successfully achieved an amazing feat of landing on the moon.

It can be said to be another Howard Stark in rocket manufacturing and aerospace industry.

"What about S.H.I.E.L.D., so do we?"

Rogers was a little unacceptable and looked at Luke leaning in the seat.

"As about the same. Like Dr. Anim Zora, he used to create energy weapons for the Red Skull, and now he serves S.H.E.L. So, we don't blame his previous crimes."

Luke nodded, not hiding it.

The Paperclip Project also benefited S.H.E.L.D.

From an unknown intelligence agency, it has rapidly developed into a huge organization above the Pentagon.

In addition to the special status of Superman, coupled with various amazing operations of asking for funds and expanding power responsibilities.

A small number of people also want to thank Hydra for their generous help.

This old opponent allowed the reorganized Strategic Science Legion to quickly complete the original accumulation.

"Don't be too attached to justice, kindness and moral conscience, Steve. You can pursue those good things, but you can't use them as a measure of everything in the world."

Luke still started to make poisonous chicken soup and played the role of life mentor.

Speaking of which, it seems to be quite interesting to transform the unwavering Captain America.

"I never think about how many people did Howard's arms business, and the weapons he made and sold had killed."

"I wouldn't think about it. Anim Zora was once a loyal fan of the Third Reich. She worked hard for Hydra and Red Skull, and her hands were covered with the blood of Allied warriors."

"Because that is meaningless. It is of no use except to trap yourself in the contradiction between moral conscience and cruel reality."

Rogers' lips squirmed, as if he wanted to say something.

The education he received since childhood and the cognition he formed was to be a good person, stick to the bottom line, and not to easily hurt others.

But Luke's words were like a bullet, shattering Captain America's strong defense and making him shaken.

"But……"

Rogers looked up, as if he was a little suspicious of life.

"Nothing is not. Look at truth from reality separately. I am Superman, a war hero, and the object of worship by the public."

Luke smiled and whispered: "But I am also Chief SHIELD, an Army General, an absolute authority and leader. I need to safeguard my own interests and stick to my own position. For this reason, I even have to do some 'bad things' that are contrary to morality."

"These two identities are put together, and it is not contrary to each other."

Rogers was very confused, as if he had endured ten thousand mental attacks.

He looked down at the vibrating shield in his hand and the star-striped flag printed on his chest.

For a moment, he was at a loss.

"Maybe I'm not suitable to be a captain."

After a while, Rogers smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Fortunately you are here, Luke. I just need to be a soldier and rush forward."

Luke, who had poured Captain America several bowls of toxic chicken soup with philosophy of life, stood up, patted the other person on the shoulder, and said, "Go to my house for dinner tonight. Malena's skills are pretty good."

A few minutes later, the conversation ended.

Watching Rogers leave, he walked to the wine cabinet and poured a glass of 182 Lafite-well, 1882 aged wine.

"Dr. Zora, you heard it."

Luke shook his wine glass and said to the office compartment: "I know Hydra's plan. You rely on the 'paper clip plan' to penetrate S.H.E.L.D., and plan to rekindle and start over."

"The most dangerous places are often the safest. After the Red Skull collapsed, Hydra's power was divided into three parts, partly recruited by S.H.E.L.D., partly being taken away by Baron Tesla, partly being hidden, secretly infiltrating the federal government."

The short and fat Dr. Zora pushed the door out in small steps.

He stayed in the office compartment very early and heard counter-espionage plans against Hellfire Club and various information about the "Paperclip Project".

"Mr. Major General, I have abandoned the darkness and turned to light! Hydra is destined to have no future, S.H.I.E.L.D. is the future!"

Dr. Zora said sincerely.

Luke handed over a glass of red wine, shook his head and said, "You are wrong, Dr. Zora. I am very optimistic about Hydra. They have a tight organization and excellent penetration capabilities. The intelligence network is spread all over the country, much stronger than S.H.E.L.D.."

Dr. Zora took the wine glass with fear.

He didn't know what the major general in front of him wanted to say.

Could it be that I want to settle the old account that I am Hydra?

"Dr. Zora, I want to join you."
