Chapter 531: Who Made Schiller Want to Kill? (Part 1)

At the moment of seeing that badge, Stark looked up at Steve. Although this sign was obvious enough, he still had to seek an answer from the veteran who had experienced World War II.

Steve took the medal from his hand. There was shock and nostalgia in his eyes. He rubbed the surface of the medal with his fingers and then said, "Soviet Order of the Red Banner..."

Now, the expression on Steve's face could be called complicated. He read the Russian on the red flag part of the Red Banner medal: "Workers of the world, unite."

Stark revealed a surprised expression. He didn't expect Steve to know Russian, but later, he remembered the things he had seen in Steve's conscious world. He remembered that there was no lack of traces left by the Soviets among them.

Seeing Steve's expression again, Stark felt a bit familiar. Suddenly, he remembered that when Obadiah had just woken up and replaced him to negotiate with the military and talked about the story of Howard and Anton, his face also had such an expression.

Not only Obadiah, but even the old general opposite had a very similar expression.

But what made Stark, who was born in the post-Cold War era, feel a bit confused was that as the previous generation who were opponents of the Soviet Union, they were not entirely disgusted and repelled when mentioning this country.

Even the nostalgia on their faces was much more than all other emotions combined.

Perhaps, like Steve, they were nostalgic for that special era because there was the cause they had fought for and the proof that it had existed.

Stark, born in the 1970s, was still a teenager during the Cold War. It was difficult for him to understand this emotion. He wanted to make a joke to ease this heavy atmosphere, but before that, Steve had freed himself from that state. He said:

"I didn't expect to see this now..." He pursed his lips, his expression appearing somewhat serious. He asked, "Why would Schiller have this medal?"

Stark took the medal again. He examined the patterns and designs on it and asked somewhat puzzled, "What does this medal represent? Who would it be awarded to?"

"This is the first medal established by the Soviet Union. It will be awarded to people who have made significant contributions to the national cause. Generally speaking, the early Red Banner medals are relatively heavy."

Stark looked down at the medal, which was quite heavily worn. Steve confirmed his guess. He said, "Judging from the casting process and the details of the pattern, this should be the early Red Banner medal, but I don't know which year it was awarded."

The two turned the medal over and over several times but didn't find any useful details. Therefore, Stark handed the medal to Steve and said, "You'd better keep it. In case it's discovered, just say it was left to you by your old comrade-in-arms."

"You..." Steve paused, but Stark seemed to know what he wanted to ask. He paused and said, "That era will not return. Liberating all mankind? A very great dream, but..."

Stark shook his head. Steve didn't know which aspect he was denying.

But clearly, Stark was not denying it from the perspective of a capitalist, or rather, the current Iron Man had already transcended the capitalist class and was infinitely close to the final producer, possessing almost unlimited productivity. If he didn't think he was responsible for human civilization, then resources, life forms, and perspectives could no longer trap him.

Past events always made people feel entangled because many regrets could never be made up. When Steve was staring at the medal in a daze, Stark had already reached out and opened the old-fashioned folder.

This folder looked like it had been around for many years. The outer hard shell was made of thin wood, the iron clip inside was also a bit rusty, and the paper went without saying. In many places, the ink had blurred, blocking other letters, and some ink had even gotten onto the shell.

Just seeing the first page, Stark was stunned because it was densely packed with names, and they were not the names of celebrities. Stark scanned it roughly and found that he didn't recognize any of them.

The nationality and position were marked below the names, but what was strange was that the nationality column wrote two countries. Some were UK, Soviet Union, some were USA, Soviet Union, and some were combinations of various messy small countries. ===== CHAPTER 532 =====
