Chapter 94 My brother is called Kiba... no, Bucky!

Monday was a sunny day.

Steve is in a good mood today.

Because he is about to officially become a soldier.

Therefore, he got up early to carefully groom himself, put on what he considered to be his most handsome clothes, and made sure he was the most dashing new recruit!

"Wow, look who's this?"

"It turns out to be our newly enlisted soldier, Steve!"

A teasing voice came from behind, but Steve didn't turn around, continuing to apply hair gel to his hair, and said seriously, "Bucky, you shouldn't joke about me!"

"You know how rare this opportunity is for me! I don't want anything to go wrong!"

Bucky, the future Winter Soldier.

Upon hearing this, his expression immediately turned serious.

He couldn't know his best buddy better than he does! That expression means Steve is really angry!

"Okay, okay! I won't joke with you anymore, alright?"

"So, Steve, the new recruit, this is Captain James Barnes standing before you. Please show him the respect due to him! Call him 'Sir' first, please?"

Steve looked embarrassed, but since his good friend held a higher rank, he reluctantly said, "Good day, sir!"

Bucky burst into laughter, patted Steve on the shoulder forcefully, and said with satisfaction, "Very good, Private Steve! Since you're so sensible, now let the esteemed Captain Barnes take you to the recruit camp!"

Steve's face lit up with joy, but Bucky, inappropriately, poured cold water on the idea, saying seriously, "But let me be clear, as your brother, although I don't want to discourage you, I must remind you again—"

"Steve, as far as I know, the military doesn't have that high-ranking officer you're talking about! Or rather, all the high-ranking officers in the Allied military in America are Westerners; there's no Eastern captain like you're describing—"

"Perhaps, you silly boy, you've been fooled!"

Steve visibly shuddered, his once vibrant expression suddenly freezing. After a long while, he regained his composure, muttering to himself, "No—the captain wouldn't lie to me! He told me I absolutely had to report to boot camp on time today, and he even told me I was welcome to enlist—"

Bucky sighed upon seeing this.

He and Steve were best friends since childhood, so how could he not see that Steve was deceiving himself?

With Steve's intelligence, he must have realized it long ago—even if there really was such a high-ranking officer from the East, what right did he have to intervene in America's recruitment of troops?

Steve's enlistment applications were rejected so many times that he was unwilling to give up on this last straw!

"Steve, you and I both know that this whole thing is suspicious from beginning to end—you'd better not have too high expectations, lest the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment!"

Bucky didn't want to discourage Steve, but he knew he had to prepare Steve mentally beforehand, otherwise he was afraid Steve wouldn't be able to handle the crushing blow once he got to boot camp.

Given Steve's current state of being plagued by numerous illnesses, I'm genuinely worried he might not be able to catch his breath and just collapse on the spot.

Bucky really went to great lengths for his best friend!

Steve forced a smile. "I understand."

"Bucky, don't worry! I'm not that fragile!"

He took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, and said, "Whether it's true or not, I'll know once I get to the recruit camp."

"Let's go! We have to face reality, don't we?"

Seeing this, Bucky hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

The two didn't discuss anything further. After quickly tidying up, they left and headed straight for the New York recruit training camp.

New recruit training camp.

New recruits from all over New York City flocked to the boot camp, where they would undergo three months of intensive training before being deployed to different units as fresh blood based on frontline needs.

Steve took a deep breath and looked nervously at the gate of the recruit training camp. One by one, strong and healthy recruits entered the camp after undergoing inspection and verification, officially beginning the military life that Steve had dreamed of.

"Bucky, I'm ready to go!"

May Jehovah bless me—

After saying that, Steve went straight in!

Before Bucky could even stop him, Steve strode forward with his head held high, ignoring the strange looks around him, and joined the queue for inspection.

The surrounding recruits all noticed Steve, this oddball. His small stature made him stand out like a chicken among cranes in the line, or like a firefly in the dark, truly bright and eye-catching!

"Hey everyone, look at that little dwarf in line—"

"What's going on? Is he a new recruit too?"

"9

"Fuck! Does the inspector think his ass is his eye? How could they let this guy join the army? Sending him to the front lines isn't just a waste of enemy bullets, is it?"

""

The chattering and discussion were extremely jarring.

Steve remained unfazed by the criticism!

It turns out.

He has a naturally strong heart.

The more attention he received, the calmer he became.

He ignored all the criticism and walked firmly to the inspector, loudly announcing his name: "Sir, Steve Rogers reporting for duty!"

The officer in charge of reviewing and verifying was also stunned at this moment!

He looked at Steve, who had a serious expression on his face, and didn't say anything at first. He just silently flipped through the roster in his hand to check if there was such a recruit.

After all, this kid looks so confident, who can guarantee that he doesn't have some special background?

If you act rashly now, what if he turns out to be a relative of some important person? In the end, you'll be the one who suffers!

These are all based on experience!

The examiner patiently flipped through the roster.

Once! Twice! Three times —

After repeatedly confirming, the examiner finally found that Steve Rogers' name was not on the roster and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, your name is not here."

These words struck Steve like a bolt from the blue!

The sky is falling!

How come I don't have my own name?

Is Captain Qian really a fraud?

Steve struggled to remain calm, forcing a smile as he pleaded with the inspector, "Excuse me, could you please check it again? Perhaps you accidentally missed something?"

The inspector, clearly not wanting to dwell on the matter, said expressionlessly, "I checked three times, and you're definitely not here!"

"Young man, I understand your desire to go to the front lines, but you shouldn't be wasting my time!"

This time.

The new recruits who had gathered around to watch the spectacle were completely excited!

"Look at this! This guy is a complete clown—"

"Hey kid, listen to your uncles' advice, you're too small to handle a submachine gun—"

"Perhaps he could consider fighting a war from the rear; there are three million women in New York City who need to be saved right now—"

"Come on! With his small frame, he'd probably have trouble even peeing standing up in mud—and he thinks he can save women?"

"Hahaha—you'd better hurry home and find your mom!"

'

'

Bucky saw Steve, who was pale-faced in the crowd, and immediately rushed forward to protect him behind him. He then turned into a troll, engaging in a passionate exchange with the recruits who were mocking Steve, and enthusiastically insulting their female relatives.

Just as the scene was in chaos, a military jeep came speeding from afar, billowing dust, and finally came to a sudden stop at the gate of the recruit training camp.

"Attention! (Stand at attention)"

Colonel Phillips was the first to emerge from the smoke and dust, and with a command, the scene immediately fell silent.

A gentle breeze swept by.

The dust and smoke slowly dissipated.

A tall, upright figure gradually became clear.

Steve, who had been in despair, suddenly felt a jolt in his heart. He looked at that familiar figure and almost burst into tears.

My dear Captain Qian!

You've finally arrived!

Qian Chen smiled slightly, nodded to Steve, and said with a smile, "Hey, Soldier Steve, we meet again! Why are you here so early? It's not even time for work yet!"

Steve: (—)
