American comics: Starting as the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast

Chapter 129 Roy's Conquest Plan

Peggy's primary responsibility is to oversee all affairs of the Strategic Scientific Corps.

However, while fulfilling her supervisory duties, she also has some extra work to do.

This includes, but is not limited to, assisting Colonel Philip in managing the legion, compiling and summarizing information, and providing action recommendations.

Because Roy was the president’s newly appointed overseer, Peggy did not hide the Strategic Scientific Corps’ current primary mission.

Select suitable test subjects, inject them with serum, and transform them into the first super soldier.

If the experiment is successful, then super soldiers will be mass-produced to build an army composed entirely of super soldiers.

This is the plan.

But Roy knew that even if Dr. Erskine hadn't died in the Hydra agent attack, he wouldn't have mass-produced the serum.

He would never inject serum into someone casually before confirming their moral character and personality, lest he create a second insane Red Skull.

"We selected some promising recruits, and here are their profiles."

"I've already reviewed it. You can take a look if you're interested."

Peggy pointed to the documents in the box and said to Roy.

Roy shook his head and replied, "No need, you've already reviewed it, and I trust your abilities."

Peggy paused for a moment.

After a few seconds, she continued, "Since you're not going to look at their information, then go to the playground and meet them now."

"Okay!" Roy nodded.

Upon hearing his answer, Peggy called in a soldier and had him carry the box containing the assessment forms.

Then, he got up and walked towards the playground.

Roy and the soldier carrying the box followed her out of the office.

On the playground.

More than a dozen soldiers in military uniforms stood in a row.

Some of them were whispering to each other, while others were surveying the environment of the military camp.

Only one soldier patiently waited for his superior to arrive.

This soldier was none other than Rogers, who was short in stature and stood out from the other soldiers, a "chicken among cranes".

Before long, Roy and his two companions arrived behind Rogers and his group.

"Recruits, attention!"

Peggy's voice immediately rang out.

Upon hearing her words, all the new recruits, including Rogers, immediately stood at attention, heads held high and chests out.

What's he doing here?

Upon seeing Roy, a hint of surprise flashed across Rogers' face.

Although he was curious as to why Roy was there, he suppressed his curiosity and looked away, focusing his gaze ahead.

Peggy approached them, saying as she walked, "I am Agent Carter, in charge of overseeing all matters of the Legion."

"This is Mr. Roy, the oversight officer appointed by the president."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a soldier made fun of her British accent.

"What's wrong with your accent, Queen Victoria?"

"I thought I was serving the U.S. military."

Peggy's expression immediately turned serious. She approached the recruit who had spoken and asked, "Soldier, what's your name?"

"Gilmer Hodge, Your Majesty!"

Hodge sensed Peggy's displeasure, but he didn't take it to heart and continued to tease her about her accent.

This is not the 21st century.

In this day and age, discrimination and marginalization of women are common occurrences.

Moreover, this is within the military.

Peggy suppressed her anger: "Take a step forward, soldier."

Hodge took a step forward with an indifferent expression.

"Take another step forward with your right foot," Peggy continued.

Following Peggy's instructions, Hodge took a step forward with his right foot and continued to harass Peggy.

"Shall we fight?"

"I have a move that you'll really like."

After saying that, Hodge winked at Peggy.

Peggy didn't say anything, but threw a right hook at Hodge.

She didn't hold back, slamming her fist heavily into Hodge's cheek.

Bang!

Caught off guard, Hodge was punched to the ground by Peggy, blood flowing from his nose.

Apart from Roy, no one expected Peggy to respond to Hodge's flirting in this way.

Peggy's punch not only knocked Hodge down, but also announced something to Rogers and the others.

That means she wasn't one of those female soldiers who could only stay in the office organizing documents, doing logistical work, and being flirted with at will.

The events that unfolded after Peggy defeated Hodge were not much different from what Roy remembered.

Colonel Philip and Dr. Erskine arrived at the parade ground in a military jeep.

After reprimanding Hodge a few times, Colonel Philip gave Rogers and the others a brief introduction to the origins of the Strategic Science Chapter and the purpose of recruiting them into the Legion.

After arranging barracks for Rogers and the others, they immediately began a week-long training program.

Although Roy was a supervisor like Peggy, he did not interfere with the training program.

While Rogers and the others were undergoing training, he began developing the Explosion Release ninjutsu.

With Deidara's Explosion Release ninjutsu as a reference, he easily developed Exploding Clay: Explosion, Exploding Clay: Giant Bird, Exploding Clay: Grasshopper, Exploding Clay: Centipede, Self-Destructing Clone, as well as C1: Clay Spider, C2: Giant Dragon, C3: Android 18, C4: Garuda, and other ninjutsu.

As for Deidara's ultimate art CO. self-destruct, he did not develop it.

CO·Self-Destruction is more powerful than other Explosion Release ninjutsu, making it an undeniably large-scale destructive ninjutsu.

But he had absolutely no idea about developing CO·self-destruct.

He possesses ninjutsu more powerful than CO·Self-Destruction, so there's no need for him to risk his life to use CO·Self-Destruction.

Peggy had no idea what Roy was up to.

However, after discovering that he had no involvement in the training program and often left the camp alone and disappeared without a trace, Peggy silently labeled him as someone who had come to the Strategic Science Corps to "gild his resume".

Not only her, but Colonel Philip and Dr. Erskine also had similar ideas.

Before we knew it, a week of training had come to an end.

Without any suspense, Rogers "defeated" all competitors, including Hodge, and won the right to be injected with the super soldier serum.

Colonel Philip initially thought Dr. Erskine was joking with him.

However, after seeing everyone else dodging the grenade, only Rogers stepped forward without hesitation and used his body to pin it down, his opinion of Rogers changed.

"Kindness alone cannot win a battle!"

"Winning battles depends on courage!"

These were his exact words when he objected to Dr. Erskine's choice of Rogers.

As it turned out, among all the testers, only Rogers showed enough courage and the determination to sacrifice himself to protect his comrades.

Considering that Dr. Erskine was the key figure behind the Super Soldier project, Colonel Philip finally agreed.

night.

Dr. Erskine brought a bottle of single malt whisky from Augsburg, Germany, to the barracks.

He is German, and Augsburg is his hometown.

Now, only Rogers remained in the huge barracks.

The selection of participants for the experiment had been decided, and Hodge and his team no longer needed to stay in the military camp, so they were assigned to other units.

Tomorrow is the day of the official experiment.

Dr. Erskine felt it was necessary to have a serious talk with Rogers to make him understand what the serum was all about.

Roy wasn't interested in their conversation.

However, he didn't intend to miss the beautiful moonlight tonight, so he brought a bottle of wine to Peggy's barracks.

In the first few days after arriving at the military camp, Peggy's impression of him was not very good; he was only so-so.

She neither treated him with intimacy nor with coldness, but simply as an ordinary colleague who had come to the legion to gain experience.

However, after discovering that he was a superhuman, Peggy changed her opinion of him.

Or rather, I developed a strong curiosity about him.

Peggy didn't know what Rogers would look like after being injected with the serum.

But Roy's superpowers completely piqued her curiosity.

It is well known that a woman's curiosity is a precursor to attraction.

Roy wasn't an emotional novice like Rogers, and immediately began the second phase of his strategy.

As for the first phase...

Making Peggy curious about him was the first stage of his plan.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have revealed his superhuman identity to Peggy.
