Early the next morning, the soldiers had just finished their morning exercises, and the special car sent by the Pentagon was parked in front of the Legion headquarters building.★

After shaking hands and saying goodbye with an acquaintance who had just received the news, Eric got into the car.

"You are so popular. If you didn't know from the archive that you just joined S.S.R for only three months, I would probably think you were a non-commissioned officer here for more than three years." S.S.R is the abbreviation of the Scientific Strategic Corps. With this meaningful sentence, a major officer in the back row reached out to him and introduced himself at the same time. "Jeremy McTagot, from the Army Intelligence and Security Command, I will be your new supervisor from now on."

This is another familiar surname, but the owner of the surname is no longer a lady, but a thin soldier with deep eye sockets. He has a hard and stubborn chin as carved as granite, and his eyes are as sharp as hungry raptors.

Eric shook hands with his new supervisor. The other party's hands were dry and powerful, and his attitude was quite reserved. Although his words sounded like praise, he had an elusive feeling in his tone.

"You know, sir. The barracks are castles, and soldiers are like brothers and feet." Eric replied faintly.

"Good answer." McTagoth clapped his palms to express his approval. "Although it's a bit too much, it's impeccable."

"Thank you." Facing the scrutiny, Eric and the Major looked at each other. The intelligence officer originally expected to see fear or panic from the eyes of the person under supervision, but he only found the indifference and quietness as transparent as water. So a second later, the Major looked away, opened the briefcase he carried with him, and handed him a few documents.

"I don't know how the Scientific Strategic Corps implements the regulations, but we have strict regulatory procedures, as your current supervisor. I think I must state one thing in advance, that is, the journey ahead will be long, and for each other's safety, we'd better cooperate with each other. If you have any needs, you can report to me in writing in advance. I will give you priority to anything that is beneficial to the national interests, but I don't want to see any unsafe behavior happen..." The major kept reading the safety clauses to the person under supervision, but Eric's attention was no longer in the car.

Now no matter what McTagot said, he no longer cared about it. The Army Intelligence Department's special car was passing through the gate. On one side of the door, a female officer stood there, staring quietly into the car.

The thick blonde hair was tied behind the head, and the thick lips were still so delicate and bright red, and the skin was as white as translucent jade. The moment the car body passed through the door, the big blue eyes looked deep into the man inside through the window glass.

"I am the person I talked to you this time, you can call me Miss C." When we first met, Paige Carter's voice sounded in Eric's heart again. At that time, he was just the subject of interrogation.

"I will handcuff you to prevent you playboys from hurting other women." When they said this, the relationship between the two had already made great progress.

"This is not in compliance with the regulations! You are my supervisory object, and the news should be conveyed by me!" When I recalled the moment when Carter was shocked and furious, Eric's heart suddenly sank.

The special car drove onto the highway, over the dust raised behind the car, and the only color in front of the gray-white military camp building in the distance became smaller and smaller until it disappeared into a dense shade of trees.

Retracting his gaze from the reversing mirror, Eric saw the intelligence officer next to him staring at him with a prey-discovering gaze.

At this time, a consultant in the military camp was suffering a disaster.

Dong!

After a loud bang, someone kicked the door that Stark had to suffocate. Howard was about to get angry when he turned around and saw Carter's figure, and immediately turned angry and happy.

"Hi, Paige, are you looking for me?" The genius scientist was about to express a warm welcome, but Carter rushed in and grabbed his collar and forced the consultant to the wall.

"Did you recommend Eric to the above?" Carter asked him, and due to his intense emotions, fine beads of sweat emerged from the tip of her perky nose.

"What did you say?" Howard leaned his back tightly against the wall, and spread his hands out of nowhere.

"I'll ask you if you sent Eric to Europe!" The female agent gritted her teeth and asked almost word by word.

The researchers in the room were shocked by her actions. Someone sneaked out to report. When the rest heard Carter's words, they recalled Howard's glorious deeds and vaguely guessed something.

"That has nothing to do with me." Howard just denied it, and his hand on his throat immediately tightened, and he quickly defended himself.

"Listen, I used to do something wrong, but I know you care about him a lot. I'm no longer targeting Eric, it has nothing to do with me this time."

"Who is that?" Carter asked loudly, and Howard hadn't answered yet, and a cold barrel behind him pointed at her forehead.

"It's me." Colonel Phillips, the head of the legion, said coldly, and ordered the guards following behind to disarm the female agent.

Two minutes later, the female agent was taken to the colonel's office. As soon as the door was closed, Colonel Phillips was furious.

"What are you crazy? Who gave you the power to beat the consultant, do you know what you are doing? Catch the neck of the largest arms provider of the U.S. Army and push him to the wall for interrogation, do you think you are interrogating the German? Peggy Carter, if you are American, I'll send you to the military court now."

"Why send Eric to Europe?" Carter shouted in unfeared manner to his boss's anger.

"Because he is in a suitable condition, because the Allies need this person." The colonel shouted back at the female subordinate in a louder voice. The two stood on both sides of the desk like cockfighting, and looked at each other for several minutes before ease.

"The Allies encountered strange energy weapons in Europe. They needed a top scientist to help them analyze and see if they could be imitated. Now there are only a dozen people who can be called top scientists. Some are conducting other important research, and some are affiliated with other institutions. They refuse to let go, so they pushed the problem to us." The colonel did not intend to compete with Carter again. His attitude eased a little and explained it to her.

"We only have two candidates here, one is Howard, but he is a millionaire, the most important defense contractor of the United States and even the Allied forces, a famous talented scientist. Do you think I can tell him and send him to the European battlefield? Even if I can do it, the above will not agree to put such an important person in danger before the situation is clear."

"Where is Eric, he just came to the United States, so you sent him back?" After hearing the explanation, Carter still felt a lot of dissatisfaction.

"That's his business." Colonel Phillips replied coldly. "Our best boy is there, and it's unreasonable that he must stay in a safe area. The team of German and Japanese soldiers was sent to the most tragic battlefield to participate in the war. He should also prove his loyalty to the United States with his own actions. You should understand that the position of the Scientific Strategic Legion is very embarrassing. On the one hand, we belong to the Allies and draw talents from various countries to form together. But on the other hand, we use US military supplies on the territory of the United States, which makes it difficult for us to accept dual leadership while being trusted by both sides, so we must show our value as soon as possible."

"Eric himself is valuable. He invented many things. Stark's partners came to see him from New York to prove how important he is?" Carter argued for Eric.

"By his flashy things?" the old soldier disdained. "Those whimsical inventions that waste resources, only Obadai Stan, will think they are treasures. We don't need them at all! We only need to complete one study, which is the rebirth plan, create the first controlled super soldier, and pull it to the person who can speak for us. This plan has now progressed to the most critical link, and you are still emotional here. Don't forget who told me that Eric was very suspicious! Now I want you to clear your mind and get out of my office and devote yourself to your work, or go back to England to be your typist."

When the boss gave the order, Carter's chest was breathing rapidly for a while, and finally calmed down. She saluted her military salute expressionlessly and left.

In the car heading towards New York, McTagot was still beating Eric indirectly.

"Is that your girlfriend?"

Eric knew what he was thinking, looked at him lightly and turned his head out the window to see the scenery.

"If I remember correctly, she should be my ex, British agent Paige Carter. I remember that she had a good reputation for you in her initial report, but now you seem to have a very good relationship. Can you tell me how you did it?" The Army intelligence officer stared at the facial expression of the person under supervision, and unfortunately he had no gains at all.

Although he had no gains, McTagot was not discouraged. He was a professional agent and knew very well what kind of patience it would take to break a person's psychological defense. However, the more stubborn and strong the object, the richer the reward he could get. Not only did he benefit from his own future, but he was deeply obsessed with his profession.

In this mentality, he put his supervision tasks above the escort tasks, and he was determined to spy on the relationship between Eric and Carter.
