Superman

"This is an unprecedented honor!"

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

At the age of twenty, he is ranked as a general!

What kind of promotion speed is this!?

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".

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

Colonel Phillips sighed.

Generally speaking, if you are promoted to a general officer at the age of thirty, you can already be said to be young and promising, with a bright future.

Famous generals in American history, such as Douglas MacArthur and Dwight Eisenhower, did not reach that position until they were in their forties.

The former among them is regarded as a legend.

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

It is conceivable that Luke, who ranks as a brigadier general, has a bright future!

Luke is viewed by many 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 Forces Command would actually agree?"

Luke also acted surprised.

If it weren't for the current war period, when a star figure was urgently needed, and his own merits were beyond reproach, this would definitely be considered the biggest shady scandal in the history of the military!

The Allies had a heated discussion about this, but in the end they could not overcome the firm position of the Royal Italian Government!

After all, this is about a country’s reputation!

When people talk about this incident in the future, the first thing people will think of is how incompetent the Italian army was, allowing a mere Allied captain to lead a team to break through the city of Rome, which had a large garrison!

In order to save its already low reputation, the Royal Government of Italy even shamelessly said that if the Allies did not give the war hero a reasonable award, then they would choose to unilaterally award Luke Cavill with the rank of Army General!

The two sides continued to argue, and the Allied Command, forced by Italy's strong request and rogue attitude, could only hold its nose and affirm Luke's contribution.

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.

The Allies' compromise finally brought the behind-the-scenes turmoil to an end.

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

Colonel Phillips whispered, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

In order to give Italy face, a young man who is less than twenty years old is promoted to a five-star general and a field marshal. That is too ridiculous!

They are the ones who surrendered, not the victors!

"It's cold up there, Colonel. Thank you Mr. President for your kindness."

Luke didn't say much. This harvest was already an unexpected surprise.

If the foundation is not solid enough and the qualifications are not deep enough, it will be in vain to sit in a high position.

"Mussolini will give it to Italy. As for the credit for conquering Rome and occupying Sicily, I will give it to Dwight Eisenhower. I remember that he was the supreme commander of the Allied forces in Europe. He was also a good friend.

edge!"

Luke spoke in an orderly manner, apparently not dazzled by the sudden honor.

Colonel Phillips nodded appreciatively. Eisenhower's reputation within the military was now at its peak.

In particular, he led 100,000 British and American troops, divided into three groups, to land in the French North African colonies.

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

Then it advanced westward, forming a pincer attack from the east and west against the German and Italian forces retreating into Tunisia.

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

This huge victory alleviated the setbacks suffered by the Allied forces in the Eastern European battlefield and once again put the Axis powers into a disadvantageous situation.

"General Dwight will remember your kindness. In fact, he himself appreciates you very much."

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

What he lacks now is the foundation and the support behind him.

And Eisenhower, whose reputation was growing day by day, was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate for alliance.

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

Not long after, he was awarded the honorable rank of five-star general by the Allies!

Even later, Eisenhower participated in the presidential election and was re-elected for two terms. He can be said to be an outstanding military strategist and politician.

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

The cool night wind blew by, the stars were dotted in the night sky, and the silvery light of the bright moon fell on the earth.

"Why are you hiding here alone?"

Carter, who was wearing a red evening gown and had a graceful figure, approached Luke who was meditating alone.

"It's a little noisy in there. I want to be quiet for a while. What's more, I don't want to be drunk anymore."

Luke leaned on the edge of the terrace 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, he should still be selling bonds on stage and traveling around the world.

"I made movies and performed with the Senator, and recently published a 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 completely different.

"In about three days, the Howling Commandos and I will set off back to New York. At that time, I will suggest to the military that Steve be transferred to my side."

Luke said to himself.

He has initially gained a certain degree of voice and is no longer a third-class soldier at the mercy of others.

The politicians on the committee want to control themselves, but they are not qualified!

"Then he will thank you very much."

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

Luke was the center of attention at the banquet, and she could always hear women talking about how she could make this war hero who liberated Italy her guest.

"I have a deep understanding of this. A beautiful lady stopped me in the corridor before and said that she wanted to thank me for liberating Italy and overthrowing the dictator... and then she insisted on letting me visit her room."

Luke shrugged and said that the beautiful lady who was said to be the daughter of a powerful man had soft lips and a slippery tongue. Unfortunately, due to some unspeakable pressure, he could only taste it briefly and could not communicate in depth.

"It seems like you're a little regretful that you didn't go to her room?"

Carter frowned and his attitude became indifferent.

She could never connect the slightly frivolous young man in front of her with the legendary hero of the Allied Powers.

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

Luke said frankly.

"Miss Carter, don't look at me with contempt. Even a war hero will not hate a beautiful girl who throws himself into his arms. This is human nature. You should admire my honesty instead of treating me as

erotic."

"Brigadier General Cavell, you are more sophistical than the politicians on the committee."

The gorgeous female agent in a red dress said sarcastically.

"This is the art of language, Miss Carter. Many friends have suggested that a person like me who can speak well should publish a book after the war is over, called - "From Third Class Private to General in Only Two Months."

Note: The youngest general in the United States uses his own personal experience to teach you how to reach the top of life! What do you think?"

Luke was like a flamboyant prodigal, without any poise during the day, which aroused Carter's disgust.

"Okay, the chatting time is over, I have to visit...Miss Isa's room. I wish you a pleasant night, Miss Carter."

Seeing the atmosphere tense up, Luke smiled slightly.

Holding the glass of champagne in his hand, he turned around and left.

Carter behind her had an angry look on her face, and her female intuition told her that this was not Luke's true face.

But why does he act like this?
