Chapter 182: Chapter 181: The War Of Wakanda (3)
Josh looked at the Rocket launcher and explained, "Although the Super Soldier Serum has given you a strong body, I doubt you'll be climbing walls or mountains with your bare hands very often. This jetpack will help you cross most obstacles in the world with ease. Of course, like the shield, it's not easy for ordinary people to control. But I don't think it will be a problem for you."
Although Captain Carter of Universe 838 in Doctor Strange 2 also had a jetpack, Josh hadn't seen that movie before he traveled through time. His inspiration for the jetpack came from the rocket soldiers in the Red Alert universe.
In Red Alert, the Allied Rocket Soldiers were considered weak—fragile, expensive, and with low attack power. They were mostly useful for reconnaissance and interception. However, this was largely due to the limitations of their operators.
If operated by a super soldier, the results could be completely different.
Yuri had already proven this by creating a mass-produced version of the Super Soldier Serum and testing it on Grammaton Clerics who had migrated to his dimension.
Super-Soldier Serum + Prozium Serum + Gun-kata+ Rocket Jetpack = results far greater than the sum of the parts.
Of course, Josh wouldn't give Carter the Prozium serum or Gun-kata, after all, fundamentally, the two were not on the same side.
"That sounds interesting!" Carter said intrigued.
"All right, go change your outfit. I'll wait outside and then take you to the testing area to evaluate your combat skills," Josh said, leaving the collection room and closing the door behind him.
After Josh left, Carter sighed in relief and began to change.
When she came out, she was fully transformed into Captain Carter.
....
Carter and the other super-soldiers spent the next few days at Area 51. Part of the time was spent observing their conditions, while the rest was spent helping them adjust to their new bodies.
During this time, one of the other three successful super-soldiers began to exhibit abnormal symptoms similar to those of the earlier black super-soldiers. Although he didn't die, he was considered a failure.
Thus, the initial 40% success rate dropped to 30% within a few days.
Fortunately, the remaining two showed no further problems.
However, it became clear that not all Super Soldiers were created equal.
Even without vibranium equipment, the other two soldiers were no match for Peggy Carter, who was almost as perfect a candidate as Captain America.
One day, while Peggy Carter and the other two were sparring on the training grounds-under the watchful eyes of various scientists.
All three were using shields– regular ones, of course– and the scene was a flurry of three shields flying around, quite a spectacle.
Josh appeared in the distance, rushing over with a group of people.
The three immediately stopped training, quickly got cleaned up, and stood neatly in front of Josh, while the researchers wisely left the training area.
"You all look like you're in great shape!" Josh said as he saw the three of them drenched in sweat.
"Thank you for your concern, sir!" the three replied in unison.
"Sir, do we have a mission?" Carter asked eagerly.
"Yes, Captain Carter. You'll be facing your first mission soon. It's a high-risk, high-difficulty operation," Josh said seriously.
"Sir, we're ready to go at any time!" Carter said excitedly. She had felt stifled on the base for too long and was eager to prove herself, just like Captain America had been in his early days.
"Good, then let's go to the conference room," Josh said, nodding.
The group made their way to the conference room.
Once seated, the CIA personnel accompanying Josh handed out briefing documents to the three soldiers as Josh began to explain.
"Six months have passed since the UN General Assembly approved the Resolution 181 (II). During these months, five divisions of Jewish forces have been trained and armed with the help of the military. They are now ready to officially invade Eritrea," Josh said as the three read through the files.
"However, Wakanda does not recognize the UN resolution. After ignoring the UN's warnings, they took control of Ethiopia by force. Recently, they even declared that Eritrea and the surrounding areas are part of their territory. Two weeks ago, they launched an attack on British and French forces stationed in the region. Had it not been for the timely intervention of the Fifth Fleet in the Red Sea, these forces might have been completely driven out.
Wakanda's actions also made the UN Security Council extremely angry, leading to a resolution to form a joint army led by the five major powers to declare war on Wakanda and help the Jews establish a country in Eritrea.
Of course, you don't have to get too involved on the front lines. Your mission is to infiltrate Wakanda's rear while the combined army attacks Wakanda directly, find their military research facility, and rescue the three Zodiac operatives they are holding. These agents, like you, have undergone special enhancements. We need the secrets they hold, so make sure you bring them back alive... Captain Carter, any questions?"
After explaining, Josh looked at Peggy Carter, whose hands were shaking.
"Uh, no, no questions!" Carter finally looked up and realized.
But clearly, her demeanor made it clear to everyone in the room that something was wrong.
But Josh didn't press the matter, and no one else could ask more.
"All right, meeting adjourned. Go get ready and meet me at 5 a.m. tomorrow at airport terminal 3!" Josh glanced at Carter before announcing the end of the meeting.
But Carter didn't leave.
When everyone was gone, she rushed up to Josh, pointed to a photo in the mission briefing, and asked excitedly, "Is this real? Is he still alive?"
"As you can see, isn't he?" Josh shrugged.
