Superman of the American Comics

Chapter 34 Rewards from the Allies, the Youngest General

A few days later, at noon.

Several jeeps slowly drove into Piazza Venezia, with Colonel Phillips and Peggy Carter sitting on them.

Covered with white marble, this circular square in the center of Rome is surrounded by Italian defenders.

They surrounded the Palazzo Venetian towering on one side of the square, and even set up machine guns.

It's no wonder that these Italian guys mobilized the crowd and created an astonishing array of fanfare.

A few days ago, the huge commotion in the Palace of Venice almost made the King of Italy think it was the Allied tanks entering the city, and the air force launched a bombing. He was so scared that he got out of bed late at night and stayed up all night.

Later, it was learned that Hitler sent people to try to rescue Mussolini, and the royal family hurriedly mobilized the army to surround the Venice Palace in the name of protection.

"It seems that Captain Cavill has scared the Italians enough."

Colonel Phillips said in a victorious gesture.

He opened the car door, stepped out, and looked at the Venice Palace.

The eyes of the others were also looking at the balcony on the second floor.

Mussolini once lived there and delivered his famous "balcony speech".

And he spoke those inflammatory lectures to the Italian people, promising many seemingly bright futures.

Today, however, the dictator is defeated and the country chooses to surrender.

All good things come to naught.

Piazza Venezia gradually became crowded with Italian people.

A moment later, a tall and straight figure came out, standing on the open-air balcony, holding in his hand the Italian dictator who was no longer as majestic as before.

The mighty Mussolini, who once pointed out the world, was like a frost-beaten eggplant, with his shoulders slumped, and he was lifted up in humiliation.

He looked at Luke with hatred and fear. It was this young Allied captain who ended his dictatorship!

The opponent suddenly rushed into the Venice Palace like a divine soldier, knocked down all the guards, and defeated the team that Hillet came to rescue.

Let yourself, who is the ruler of Italy, become a prisoner of a little captain!

In the silent square, there was soon a cheer, followed by warm applause like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

Wave after wave of sound, centered on Piazza Venezia, spread in all directions, from one block to another!

"Liberate Italy! Long live liberty!"

"Down with the dictator! Mussolini step down!"

"Hang him! Hang the devil!"

Amidst the warm and solemn cheers, such slogans continued to emerge, and more people began to gather towards Venice Square.

All of them looked excited, raised their arms and shouted!

Mussolini's dictatorship led to the prevalence of fascism.

Food is regulated, freedom of speech is prohibited, people take to the streets to demonstrate every day, and the wave of strikes has never stopped.

Therefore, in the eyes of the people whose lives are miserable, Luke is not a hateful invader, but a great hero who liberated the country from the dictator!

Well, this is in line with the character of Italians who worship romance!

"The original decision was indeed correct."

Seeing that the prestige value refreshed like a waterfall on the character panel, Luke expressed his satisfaction.

Active attack, and passive completion of tasks, he prefers the former!

When the cheering crowd gradually dispersed, Colonel Phillips led Carter into the Venice Palace.

The Roaring Commando put away the heavy machine guns in the hall, waiting for the condolences from the friendly forces.

"Long time no see, Luke!"

Colonel Phillips could no longer maintain his calm expression, and excitedly held Luke's palm.

Looking at him like that, it seems that he can't wait to take a photo with him immediately, so that he can be published in the newspapers of the Allied countries with such legendary figures as soon as possible!

"As expected, you did not disappoint me! Mr. President admires you very much, and will award you a medal immediately when you return to New York!"

Colonel Phillips whispered the news close to Luke's ear.

Carter's beautiful eyes flickered on the side. She did not expect that the Brooklyn youth she met at the Stark Industry Expo would one day become a war hero of the Allies.

There is nothing more wonderful than this in the encounters in life.

Under the instruction of the American military, Luke's name has spread throughout the Allied forces, and the legendary deeds are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Compared with Captain America who is well-known by everyone on the stage selling bonds and performing in costumes, like Luke who sneaked into the base camp behind enemy lines alone and made a world-sensing astonishing feat, is more likely to be recognized by soldiers!

"I just made a small contribution to winning this war for the Confederate States, just like every soldier who fought on the front line."

Luke responded modestly to Colonel Phillips' compliment, which was even more admirable.

A soldier who can remain calm in the face of applause and flowers is the right person to be a general.

……

……

The night is covered with tulle and comes lightly.

After a fierce battle, the Venetian Palace has been cleaned up by the Italians, and it has become a new look-if you ignore the destroyed open-air balcony of the bedroom, and the collapsed dungeon.

Those walls that look like a hornet's nest have been repainted and carved with more exquisite patterns.

The blood-stained marble floor was washed and cleaned until it was as clean as a mirror.

Falling crystal chandeliers, damaged oil paintings, broken railings...all of these have been restored as before and replaced with new ones.

In the air of the Venetian Palace, soothing music flows.

Those princes, ministers, and dignitaries dressed up one by one, and came here as if they were going to a ball.

The protagonist of this banquet is naturally Luke in a neat military uniform.

Everyone was curious about what this war hero who led a team alone to break through the city of Rome and liberate Italy looked like.

When they saw Luke, who was tall and straight, they were not disappointed.

With a stern face and deep eyes, like a hero who came out of Greek mythology, it made people feel admiration.

Although this Allied captain is still very young, his momentum is no less than that of the princes and dignitaries present, and no one dares to underestimate him!

——It is not ruled out that this is the impact of the "Legendary Man" achievement.

"Guess where the Confederates are going to promote you?"

The guests and the host had a good time, as if forgetting the war, Luke was pulled aside by Colonel Phillips in his spare time after entertaining a group of royal family members and high-ranking officials.

"Colonel? Or lieutenant colonel?"

Luke holds a glass of champagne, a relaxed smile on his face.

I am too young, even if I have real achievements, I still lack qualifications.

You know, the most famous general in American history, Douglas MacArthur, was only promoted to major general at the age of 45.

Luke knew in his heart that no matter the military or the president, it was impossible to promote him too high all at once.

First of all, it will attract criticism and cause dissatisfaction.

Secondly, it is difficult to convince the public, after all, he has no foundation now.

Relying on the name of a war hero is not enough to settle the bosses of various factions in the military.

What's more, the false name of "hero" can be fabricated, and it is the most worthless!

"In the beginning, it was planned to honor you as a colonel. A colonel officer who is less than 20 years old is enough to reward you, but..."

Colonel Phillips had a hearty smile on his old face.

"The Italians don't agree! Especially the royal family, if only a mere colonel conquers the city of Rome, it will embarrass them!"

The government of the Kingdom of Italy would never accept that a colonel with less than 30 people dared to break into the city of Rome, abducted Mussolini majesticly, made 4000 million people terrified, and lived in the Venetian Palace like an overlord to give orders.

This is so embarrassing!

And it would make Italy a laughing stock!

"so?"

Luke raised his eyebrows quite unexpectedly, this result was beyond his expectation.

"Congratulations, Luke, for becoming the youngest general in American history!"

Colonel Phillips replied.
