Superman of the Marvel Universe

Chapter 77?I just want to develop quietly

With three "Battleship Class" dead in Paris, General Saint committed suicide by drinking bullets in the underground research institute, and the crumbling Third Reich finally collapsed.

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

When the news of the victory was sent back to London and then to the White House via radio waves, the top leaders of the Allied Powers were excited.

Many congressmen immediately held press conferences to publicize and win over public opinion.

People who were looking forward to the arrival of peace and the smoke clearing also took to the streets and caroused all night long.

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 once again made the headlines.

A black and white photo that appeared 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 wearing metal armor stands high in the sky, his cape fluttering like a flag.

Due to the precise control of the angle and light, Luke, whose face is blurred, exudes a strong momentum.

Just like those heroes from mythological epics.

Bathed in golden light, majestic!

"A flying superman!"

"I heard that the Brigadier General flew to Berlin and ended the war!"

"I also know that Brigadier General Cavell fought alone in Paris with hundreds of Aryan demons summoned by the Führer for three days and three nights, and finally spent half of his life to seal them away and send them back to hell!"

"Haha, what are you talking about? The latest news is that the mustachioed head of state in Berlin sacrificed the lives of millions of people and transformed himself into the king of hell - if Brigadier General Cavell hadn't stepped forward, the entire world would have been destroyed. "

"Hiss! Long live the Allies! Brigadier General Cavell is indeed a war hero!"

"..."

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

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

There were people talking about this in every tavern, hotel, and street, as if they had seen it with their own eyes, and it was extremely true.

The most outrageous thing is that there are also added details about Luke influencing a certain Aryan female demon named Sieglinde with love, and having an emotional entanglement.

After this version, the tragic story of "a certain German country girl was brutally transformed into a demon by the Führer, but fortunately received the help of the Allied Superman to regain her self-awareness".

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

Among them, the most widely spread is that Luke was born in a mysterious family of demon hunters, known as the "Walking Piledriver" and "Friend of the Sorceress". He was later inspired by the Fairy in the Lake to join the Allies to fight against the axis of evil.

With all kinds of news flying all over the place, the general public ignores the most critical information in key photos.

That is the Allied Brigadier General who is a super soldier who can fly?

If we talk about punching tanks and kicking Berlin's "battleship-class" soldiers, it is still within the acceptable range.

But the sudden flying ability and the never-before-seen metal armor easily aroused some people's inquiring minds.

"Colonel, I'm just asking you to help with publicity. I don't intend to become the material of various novels - look, what Brigadier General Luke Cavill and the Aryan Devil have to tell about the secret past! And this, Decrypt the Allied Forces The truth behind Superman! My years as a witcher in London!"

At Bletchley Manor outside London, Luke spread out the recent newspapers, looked at Colonel Phillips who looked proud, 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 actually came from a witcher family and 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. He chuckled and said, "At least you are now a topical young brigadier general and 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 there is no use value, even looking at you is a waste of time."

Luke nodded in agreement. The photo that caused a lot of discussion was actually a staged photo.

After he left Berlin, he found a photographer specifically for Colonel Jean Phillips.

Afterwards, send it to the New York Times in the other party's name.

Image synthesis technology has not yet been developed in this era, so there is no need to question the authenticity of the photos, and people are willing to believe them.

The reason for doing this is because the war is over, and Luke must seize the time to gain more reputation points.

But I didn’t expect Colonel Phillips to cause such a big fuss. The secret story of the Allied Superman and the Aryan Devil has 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 putting this experience on the screen. It would be better if he himself was willing to participate.

Although the actors are undecided, the script is not yet available, and the funds are insufficient, as long as the Allied brigadier general nods his approval, everything will not be a problem.

Paramount is confident that it can invite big stars like James Stewart, Clark Gable, and Katharine Hepburn to join the film.

"If I write a few memoirs or enter Hollywood after I retire, I will definitely have a lot of money."

Luke didn't mean to blame Colonel Phillips. Increasing publicity was one of the purposes.

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

According to Hollywood's business operations, these "true deeds" about myself are expected to be adapted many times and put on the screen.

Maybe he can even win an Oscar, leaving his name in film history and creating a legend.

"Luke, you deserve a brighter future."

After the small talk, Colonel Phillips suppressed his smile and said solemnly: "It's just that I need to hibernate for the time being, waiting for the right time to fly into the sky."

Luke raised his eyebrows. After returning from Berlin, he received awards from high-level officials of the Allied Powers.

After leaving the war cabinet and returning to the Prime Minister's Office, Churchill 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 single-handedly saved the Allies.

It's just that both parties only paid lip service to it, without providing any tangible benefits.

The Allies must also have a headache. What practical rewards can be given to a brigadier general who is only [-] years old?

Major General?

lieutenant general?

Or an admiral?

With such a fast promotion rate, wouldn't Luke be able to directly take the position of Minister of Defense when he is 30 years old?

In this regard, Britain has the mentality of just watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously. The Prime Minister said that for such a contribution, it is nothing to give a five-star general. If America is reluctant to part with it, it can let Luke join England. The Empire on which the sun never sets is extremely welcoming. .

The president in the White House has a smile on his face, and his heart has already smelled sweet.

"It seems that Colonel you have received the news."

Luke doesn't attach much importance to military rank. Even though he is now a general, he has no real power under his command, just a false title.

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

By then, both Luke and Captain America Rogers will return to New York to receive commendations and awards.

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

Colonel Phillips' face was as dark as water. This was obviously the military's intention to isolate Luke on the periphery of the central authority.

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

Of course, the more critical thing is that Luke does not have enough strong support behind him.

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

Even when politicians and capitalists face mobs, their first thought is always to use status and money to ensure their own safety.

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

"This is just a proposal! If you don't want to, no one will force you. Eisenhower will be happy to lend a hand and help..."

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

Of course he knew that the military owed him a favor, and those big bosses were willing to take this opportunity to repay it to him.

Capturing the city of Rome and assisting the Allied forces to land in Sicily, Luke gave it to Eisenhower without blinking an eye for such a huge contribution.

At the same time, he also handed over the honor to the president to ease domestic conflicting opinions.

If I want to enter the Ministry of National Defense and step into the center of the power structure, I will definitely be able to do so.

"Too bad I just want to develop in peace."

Luke thought silently.

From the current perspective, the Strategic Science Corps is just an insignificant small organization.

But when the era of superheroes comes, the behemoth SHIELD will emerge - as its predecessor, the Strategic Science Corps actually has great development prospects.

"The first SHIELD Director?"

The image of a certain braised egg flashed in Luke's mind, expressing that he was very satisfied with the decision of the Allied leaders.
