Marvel’s Superman

Chapter 35 The end of the banquet, the confrontation between men and women

"This is an unprecedented honor!"

Colonel Phillips seemed more excited than Luke himself, his old face beaming with pride and smugness.

At the age of twenty, he is a general!

What a promotion speed this is! ?

Luke will not only be recorded in history as a war hero in the future, but may also have the title of "the youngest general in American history" in front of him.

"You have created an unexpected surprise for me and everyone!"

Colonel Phillips said with emotion.

Generally speaking, a promotion to a general at the age of 30 can already be said to be young and promising, with a promising future.

People like the famous generals in American history, Douglas MacArthur and Dwight Eisenhower, did not sit in that position until they were in their forties.

The former is regarded as a legend of a generation.

The latter retired, served as president, and successfully entered the White House.

It is conceivable that Luke, who is a brigadier general, has a bright future in the future!

Many see Luke as a rising star.

Of course, some people think that the so-called "Superman" is just the second Captain America, the new military mascot.

"The Allied Command would actually agree?"

Luke also appeared surprised.

If it weren't for the time of war, a star figure is urgently needed, and his own credit is beyond reproach, this would definitely be considered the biggest shady story in the history of the military!

The Allies had heated discussions on this, but in the end they couldn't defeat the firm position of the Italian government!

After all, it's about a country's reputation!

When we talk about this in the future, the first thing people will think of is how incompetent the Italian army was, and let a mere Allied captain lead the team to break through the city of Rome with a large number of garrisoned troops!

In order to restore its own reputation, the government of the Kingdom of Italy even shamelessly said that if the Allies did not give a reasonable award to the war hero, then they would choose to unilaterally award the rank of Army General Luke Cavill!

The two sides kept wrangling and arguing, and the Allied Command, forced by Italy's strong request and rogue attitude, could only pinching the nose to affirm Luke's credit.

Promote a soldier who is only twenty years old and has been in the army for less than two months to the position of brigadier general.

Compromises and concessions by the Allies finally brought this behind-the-scenes turmoil to an end.

"Actually, the Italians are not satisfied. They are not greedy enough, and they even want you to sit directly on the throne of the marshal, so as to have more face."

Colonel Phillips spoke in a low voice, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

It would be ridiculous to promote a young man under twenty to five-star general, field marshal, for the sake of spaghetti!

They were the one who surrendered, not the victor!

"It's so cold at the top, Colonel. Thank you, Mr. President, for your kindness."

Luke didn't say much, this time the harvest was already a surprise.

The foundation is not solid enough, the qualifications are not deep enough, and it is futile to sit in a high position.

"I will give Mussolini to Italy. As for the credit for the capture of Rome and the occupation of Sicily, I will give it to Dwight Eisenhower. I remember he was the supreme commander of the Allied forces in Europe. edge!"

Luke spoke methodically, apparently not dazzled by the sudden honor.

Colonel Phillips nodded in appreciation. Eisenhower is now in the military and has a great reputation.

In particular, he led a 100,000-strong Anglo-American coalition, divided into three groups, and landed in the colonies of French North Africa.

Using strong air cover, they captured Algiers, Oran and Casablanca in Morocco.

Immediately after advancing westward, it formed an east-west attack on the German-Italian forces retreating into Tunisia.

Eisenhower's command and action put the German and Italian troops in a dilemma. In the end, all 250,000 people surrendered, which is a surprising victory.

This huge victory eased the Allied setbacks on the Eastern European battlefield, once again putting the Axis at a disadvantage.

"General Dwight will remember your offer, and he himself appreciates you."

Colonel Phillips couldn't help but admire Luke's vision.

What he lacks now is the foundation, the support behind it.

And Eisenhower, whose reputation is growing day by day, is undoubtedly a suitable ally.

Luke smiled, remembering that in the original history, it was Eisenhower who launched the attack on Sicily.

It didn't take long for him to be awarded the honorable rank of five-star general by the Allies!

Even later, Eisenhower also participated in the presidential campaign and was re-elected for two terms. It can be said that he was a very good strategist and politician.

After finishing the chat with Colonel Phillips, Luke came to the terrace of the Palace of Venice alone.

The cold night wind blew past, the night sky was full of stars, and the silver brilliance of the bright moon fell on the earth.

"Why are you hiding here alone?"

With a graceful figure in a red evening dress, Carter approached Luke, who was meditating alone.

"It's a bit noisy inside, and I want to be quiet for a while. Besides, I don't want to be drunk anymore."

Luke leaned against the edge of the patio and said with a smile.

Under the noisy night sky, the man and woman began to chat.

"Miss Carter, do you know what Steve is doing?"

Luke thought of Captain America. At this time, the other party should be selling bonds on the stage and doing tours around the world.

"Following the senator to make movies, do performances, and recently released a personal comic. Rogers is much more popular than you!"

Carter chuckled.

She seemed to remember the Caspian training camp where Luke and Rogers had the best friendship.

Later, the two of them became super soldiers together, but the ending was very different.

"About three days later, the Howling Commandos and I will leave for New York, and I will suggest to the military that Steve be transferred to me."

Luke said to himself.

He has initially gained a certain degree of right to speak, and is no longer a third-class soldier at the command of others.

Politicians on committees are not qualified to support themselves!

"Then he will thank you very much."

Carter folded his arms across his chest and changed the conversation: "Those Italian ladies, they look at you with such enthusiasm, as if they want to eat you as dessert."

Luke at the banquet was the center of attention. She could always hear women's comments about how to turn this war hero who liberated Italy into her own guest.

"I also have a deep understanding of this. I was stopped by a beautiful lady in the corridor before, saying that she wanted to thank me for liberating Italy and overthrowing the dictator... Then she had to let me visit her room."

"It looks like you didn't go to her room, a little regret?"

Carter frowned and his attitude became indifferent.

She couldn't connect the slightly frivolous young man in front of her with the legendary heroes of the Allied countries.

"Of course. It would be a pity for any man to decline such an invitation."

Luke candidly.

"Miss Carter, don't look at me with contempt, even a war hero, he won't hate a beautiful girl who throws his arms in his arms. This is human nature. You should admire my honesty, not treat me as a erotic."

"Brigadier General Cavill, you're more sophistry than the politicians on the committee."

Dressed in a red dress, the radiant female agent said sarcastically.

"This is the art of language, Miss Carter. Many friends have suggested that a person who can talk like me should publish a book after the war, called-"From Private to General in Two Months", Note: The youngest general in America uses his own personal experience to teach you how to reach the top of your life! What do you think?"

Luke was like a pompous prodigal son, without the calmness of the day, which aroused Carter's disgust.

"Okay, chat time is over, I have to visit... Miss Isa's room. Have a nice night, Miss Carter."

Seeing that the atmosphere stiffened, Luke smiled slightly.

Holding the glass of champagne in his hand, he turned to leave.

Carter looked annoyed behind him, and the female intuition told her that this was not Luke's true face.

But why did he do this?
