Superman of the American Comics

Chapter 78

Following the death of three "Battleships" in Paris, and General Saint's suicide in the underground research institute, the crumbling Third Reich finally collapsed.

The world war that lasted for many years came to an end.

When the news of the victory came back to London and then to the White House by radio, the top leaders of the Confederate States were all excited.

Many congressmen immediately held a press conference to publicize and win public opinion.

Those who were looking forward to the arrival of peace and the dispersal of the gunpowder smoke also took to the streets and reveled all night.

It is said that New York was brightly lit that night, like a bright ocean.

But a few days later, more people's attention was attracted by Luke who made headlines again.

A black and white photo on the front page of The New York Times!

Shocked half the world!

Spark a frenzy of discussion!

In the photo, a young brigadier general in metal armor stands tall in the sky, his cape fluttering like a flag.

Because the angle and light are well grasped, Luke, whose face is blurred, exudes a strong momentum as a whole.

Just like the heroes who came out of those myths and epics.

Bathed in golden light, majestic!

"A superman who can fly!"

"I heard that His Excellency the Brigadier General flew to Berlin to end this war!"

"I also know that Brigadier General Cavill fought against hundreds of Aryan demons summoned by the head of state in Paris for three days and three nights, and finally spent half of his life before sealing them and sending them back to hell!"

"Hehe, what are you, the latest news is that the bearded head of state in Berlin sacrificed the lives of millions of people and transformed himself into a king of hell—if Brigadier General Cavill didn't stand up, the whole world would be destroyed. "

"Hiss! Long live the Allied Powers! Brigadier General Carville is worthy of being a war hero!"

"..."

It didn't take long for similar rumors to spread across the continental United States.

There is even a tendency to continue to ferment and spread outward.

In every tavern, hotel, street, and lane, people talked about this incident, as if they had witnessed it with their own eyes, and the words were extremely true.

The most outrageous thing is that Luke used love to influence a certain Aryan female demon named Sieglinde and added details of emotional entanglements.

After this version, a tragic story of "a certain German country girl was brutally transformed into a demon by the head of state, but fortunately got the help of the superman of the Allies to regain her self-awareness" was derived.

Even the people in London were not idle. Many third-rate writers used templates of Merlin, King Arthur, and the Twelve Knights of the Round Table on Luke in order to gain popularity, and made up all kinds of unimaginable and bizarre experiences.

Among them, the most widely spread is that Luke was born in a mysterious family of witchers, known as the "walking pile driver" and "friend of the sorceress". Later, he was inspired by the fairies in the lake and joined the Allies to fight against the axis of evil.

Due to all kinds of news flying all over the sky, the general public ignores the most critical information on key photos.

That is, the brigadier general of the Allied Army who is a super soldier can fly?

If it is said that punching tanks and kicking Berlin's "Battleship-class" soldiers is still within the acceptable range.

But the sudden ability to fly, as well as the never-before-seen metal armor, easily aroused the inquiring psychology of some people.

"Colonel, I just asked you to help promote it, and I didn't intend to become the material of various novels-look, the secret past that Brigadier General Luke Carville and the Aryan demon have to tell! And this, decrypt the allied forces The truth behind Superman! My years as a witcher in London!"

At Bletchley Manor on the outskirts of London, Luke spread out the recent newspapers, looked at the smug Colonel Phillips, and said helplessly: "My uncle Frank called me a few days ago and said that the New York Times A reporter came to interview him and asked him if he knew that his nephew was actually from a family of witchers, and had had indescribable super-friendships with many sorceresses."

"That's a good thing, Luke."

In private, Colonel Phillips did not abide by the strict titles of superiors and subordinates, and said with a smile: "At least you are now a topical young brigadier general, a war hero, instead of being ignored like Rogers."

"We all understand the virtues of politicians. When they need something from you, they can kneel down and lick your boots, but if it is of no use, it would be a waste of time to look at you."

Luke nodded in agreement. The photo that sparked heated discussions was actually a posing.

After he left Berlin, he specifically asked Colonel Phillips to find a photographer.

Afterwards, it was sent to the New York Times in the name of the other party.

This era has not yet produced image synthesis technology, so there is no need to question the authenticity of photos, and people are willing to believe it.

The reason for doing this is because the war is over, and Luke must hurry up to earn more reputation points.

But I didn't expect Colonel Phillips to make such a big fuss. The secret stories of Allied supermen and Aryan demons have almost become one of the popular cultures in the United States.

A few days ago, Paramount Pictures sent someone to ask if Luke would be interested in bringing this experience to the screen, and it would be even better if he himself would participate.

Although it is an embarrassing situation where the actor has not yet been decided, the script is not yet available, and the funds are not enough, as long as the brigadier general of the Allied Forces nods and agrees, everything will be fine.

Paramount patted its chest and promised that it could invite big stars like James Stewart, Clark Gable, and Katharine Hepburn to join them.

"If I write a few memoirs after I retire, or go to Hollywood, there must be a lot of money."

Luke also didn't mean to blame Colonel Phillips, one of the goals was to increase his popularity.

Even if the topic is taken more and more crooked, it doesn't hurt.

According to Hollywood's commercial operations, it is estimated that these "true deeds" about myself will be adapted many times and put on the screen.

Maybe he can even win an Oscar statuette, leaving his name in film history and making a good story.

"Luke, you should have a brighter future."

After the chat, Colonel Phillips restrained his smile and said in a deep voice, "It's just that we need to lie dormant for the time being, waiting for the right time to soar into the sky."

Luke raised his eyebrows. After returning from Berlin, he received awards from high-level allies.

Churchill, who left the war cabinet and returned to the prime minister's office, called him the liberator of the free world.

The president who was far away in the White House was more straightforward, saying that Luke changed the direction of the war and saved the Allies with his own efforts.

It's just that both sides are staying in the verbal praise, and they haven't given any real benefits.

Presumably the allies are also very troubled. What practical rewards can a brigadier general who is only twenty years old give him?

Major General?

lieutenant general?

Or general?

With such a fast promotion rate, wouldn't Luke be directly on the position of Minister of Defense when he was 30 years old!

In this regard, the United Kingdom has the mentality of eating melons while watching the excitement. The Prime Minister said that it is nothing to give a five-star general for such a contribution. If the United States is reluctant, they can let Luke join England. The empire on which the sun never sets welcomes .

The president of the White House had a smile on his face, and his heart was full of fragrance.

"It seems that you, Colonel, have gotten wind of it."

Luke doesn't value military rank very much. Don't look at him as a general now, but he has no real power under his hands, just a false title.

The Allies are now busy liberating Berlin. When the war is over, they will naturally sit down and share the cake and reward the heroes.

At that time, Luke and Captain America Rogers will all return to New York to receive awards and honors.

"It has been proposed that you continue to lead the Strategic Science Corps."

Colonel Phillips' face sank like water. It was obvious that the military wanted to isolate Luke from the periphery of the power center.

The main reason may be that he was afraid that the young brigadier general would enter the Ministry of Defense prematurely, which would cause a series of problems such as excessive power and difficulty in restraint.

Of course, the more important thing is that there is not enough strong support behind Luke.

Superman is very powerful, but those who are used to thinking with politicians or the logic of interests only regard each other as a weapon of the country-this is a stupid but true idea.

Even when politicians and capitalists face thugs, the first thing they think of is always using status and money to ensure their own safety.

But they forget that some people don't follow this set of rules.

"It's just a proposal! If you don't want to, no one will force you, and Eisenhower will be more than happy to lend a hand..."

Luke waved his hand to stop the colonel's good intentions, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he didn't feel angry.

Of course he knew that the military owed him favors, and those big bosses were willing to take this opportunity to pay him back.

Luke gave Eisenhower such a big credit for capturing the city of Rome and assisting the Allied forces in landing on Sicily.

At the same time, the honor was handed over to the president to ease domestic contradictory opinions.

If I want to enter the Ministry of National Defense and set foot in the center of the authority, I will definitely be able to do so.

"It's a pity that I just want to grow quietly."

Luke thought silently.

From the current point of view, the Strategic Science Corps is just an insignificant small organization.

But when the era of superheroes comes, the behemoth of S.H.I.E.L.D. will emerge—as its predecessor, the Strategic Science Corps is actually very promising.

"The first Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

The figure of a certain stewed egg flashed in Luke's mind, expressing that he was very satisfied with the decision of the high-level Allied forces.
