Marvel’s Superman

Chapter 37: Honored by the President, goodbye to the US team

   After everything was settled, Luke spent the next few days dealing with various social situations.

   From the press conference held by the White House, to the celebration dinner of various military ministries, I didn’t even stop.

   Everyone laughed at him, admiring him, and the atmosphere was harmonious, so that Luke almost had the illusion that "the war has been won".

  According to the plot of the movie, if Captain America hadn't stopped the bombing plan of the Hydra Red Skull, the Allies might not have been able to win so smoothly.

   "...I am very honored to be here to present this medal of honor, which symbolizes bravery and fearlessness, to Brigadier General Luke Cavill! He is the hero of the Allies and our hero!"

   The White House lawn, President Roosevelt in a wheelchair, personally put the medal representing the highest military honor on Luke's chest.

   Then, the two shook hands cordially and took a group photo.

   It is estimated that the headlines of all newspapers tomorrow will be news about this matter.

   "Although I have heard that you are very young, I never expected you to be so young! You know how I am at your age, and I am full of thoughts on how to talk to the hottest girl in school!"

   After the awarding ceremony, there was a luncheon at the White House, and the entourage pushed Mr. President to Luke's side.

   As the longest time in office in the history of the United States, he is also a highly evaluated person in power. The other party knows how to bring people closer together.

   During the whole conversation, Mr. President only talked about Luke's parents who died young, the difficult past at school, and Uncle Frank.

   behaved like a gentle and kind elder, not a powerful person in a high position.

   "I just made some trivial contributions, no different from those soldiers on the battlefield."

   When Luke speaks beautifully, he does not let the wind fall.

  Politicians always like to talk roundabouts, even politicians like Roosevelt are no exception.

   "Dwight and I are very grateful for your gift. Luke—what can I call you! I have seen many outstanding young people, but you are still the best of those young people!"

Mr. President finally got into the topic, smiling and saying, "In return, what should I do for you? This war is not over yet, and many... the distribution of benefits is difficult to determine, and your position is already eye-catching enough. , It’s not easy to keep going up."

   "I want to return to the battlefield and end this war with my own hands."

   Luke spoke loudly, without the slightest false expression.

   For him, the position of the brigadier general is not enough.

   While the war is not over, it is the key to seize the time to make a record.

   Don't look at Roosevelt being polite to himself now. When the dust settles in World War II, if Luke has no other use value except for the halo of honor above his head, the opponent will definitely treat himself as a passerby.

   By the way, if nothing goes wrong, the president in a wheelchair may have a brain hemorrhage and die before the war is completely over.

  In this way, Truman, as the vice president, is worthy of investment.

   There was a series of thoughts in Luke's head.

"Uh……"

   Mr. President, who was waiting to write a bunch of bad checks, was taken aback. Why didn't this young brigadier general play his cards according to his routine?

   Obviously, I should promise benefits, win relationships, and then reap gratitude and take it as a confidant...

How did    become a righteous and awe-inspiring active call for battle?

   "Then I will contact the Allied Command."

   Mr. President said dryly.

   looked at Luke, who was leaving, narrowing his smile.

   He had set a goal long ago not to be the mascot of the federal government.

   Neither politicians nor capital groups can buy themselves.

   "Who would be willing to succumb to others."

   Luke held the champagne in his hand, a sneer pulled out from the corner of his mouth.

   "Your Excellency Brigadier General, I'm a reporter from the Horn Daily! Can I take a picture?"

   The young reporter saw Mr. President leave, and his entourage hurried over.

   He is struggling to carry the bulky camera and looks at Luke expectantly.

   The Horn Daily?

   Dare to love this is an old newspaper?

   Luke raised his eyebrows and stood straight, with a friendly and polite smile on his face.

   "Yes."

   Click!

   A flash of light, the picture freezes.

   The pen figure and handsome face of the young brigadier general will be spread all over the world along with the printed newspapers.

  ……

  ……

   "You don't seem to be very happy, Steve-oh no, I should call you Captain America. Who will clean up the Germans? A Star-Spangled Banner man with big plans!"

   When Luke met Rogers, it had been a week since he returned to New York.

   On the side of the Allied Command, he finally agreed that this young brigadier general who wanted to be on the front line rushed to the battlefield.

   Luke, who was in his spare time, made a special trip to visit his old friend. He also hummed the familiar melody that is well-known in the streets and alleys.

It’s just that Rogers didn’t seem to be happy to hear this song, and turned his head shamelessly, and said, "Don’t make fun of me, Luke—or do you want me to call you Superman? I don’t like it at all. life!"

   Backstage at the Broadway Theater, Captain America, wearing a tight costume, carrying a Stars and Stripes shield in his hand, has a frustrated expression on his face.

   There is no longer the steadfastness and high morale of the past!

  He has become a senator's tool for selling bonds.

   Every day life is to cooperate with publicity, perform on stage, and then take a group photo.

   said the same lines, doing repetitive actions, like a machine!

   "You are a hero in comic books and movies, the Captain America everyone admires..."

   Luke patted the other person on the shoulder and said this deliberately.

   "They just need an idol! A clown standing on the stage! You are the hero of the real world! By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet, Brigadier Cavill!"

   Rogers shook his head, cheered up, and said with a smile.

   The purpose of joining the army in the first place was to imagine a soldier on the front line to make his due contribution to this war.

   Instead of being like a clown, standing on the stage and saying meaningless lines, promoting various bonds issued by the state.

   "I thought you would like this feeling, the big stars of Broadway theaters, people know you wherever they go."

   Luke hooked Rogers's neck with his hand and said with a smile.

   "But you have changed a lot. I used to have to bend down to get your shoulders."

Rogers turned his face away, ignored his friend’s teasing, and said in a tired tone: "You know, the last time I went to the Caspian Training Camp in New Jersey—that’s where we stayed. Every soldier was talking about you, saying Looking at your experience during training, as well as your legendary deeds."

"Really! I am happy for you and proud of you! Luke, you deserve this honor! I wanted to tell them that you are my friend! But I was afraid that the soldiers would ask, why are you on the front line? , And I hide behind..."

   Rogers, who was called "Captain America", laughed self-deprecatingly.

   He was tired of the present day, but he couldn't resist.

   To obey orders is the bounden duty of a soldier.

   And the senator obtained the military's consent, Rogers could only obediently behave.

   "Then you can go to Europe with me."

   Luke is still like before in Brooklyn, holding Rogers's shoulders, using an understatement, to say this surprisingly good news. UU Reading www.uukanshu.cóm

   "Europe...really?"

   Rogers reacted a few seconds later, with an expression of disbelief.

   "But what about the military? The senator won't agree!"

   Soon, Rogers' eyes dimmed again.

   He knew that Luke wanted to help himself, but it would be no good to get into trouble.

   Senator Brandt has a good position on the committee and has a good relationship with the military.

   "Hey, the little guy in Brooklyn, standing in front of you is a brigadier general, a hero of the Allies, and a bright star awarded by the president."

   Luke pretended to be annoyed, frowned, and said his title solemnly.

  Actually, he went to the Senator Brandt before he drove here.

   Hearing about his intention, the arrogant Senator did not say a word, so he agreed.

   Before Luke left, the other party even begged him not to blame, putting his posture very low.

   This is the true nature of a politician, bullying the soft and fearing the hard, and turning the rudder by the wind!

   "How about? Captain America, do you want to go to the European battlefield and see how powerful Hydra is with me!"

   Hearing Luke's invitation, Rogers nodded fiercely, his eyes full of surprise.

   He felt his life and saw hope again!

   "Thank you, Luke."

   Rogers said gratefully.

   "You should call me commander."

   Luke laughed twice and pulled Captain America away from the Broadway Theater.

   "Go! Let's have a drink! Celebrate Captain America's new life, and celebrate our reunion!"

   The two figures crossed their backs, talked and laughed and walked onto the street, disappearing into the crowd.
