Marvel’s Superman

Chapter 79: ?Steve, you have to stand up

   After leaving the White House, Luke drove to the Army Club in the Northwest District, where Rogers was still waiting for him.

   During the days when I returned to New York from London, there were various public interviews every day, and the military commendation ceremony held almost no personal time.

   It was not until Roosevelt's death that Luke got rid of his busy schedule and came to Washington to attend the funeral, and by the way, he completed the award.

   "I wonder if Steve can adapt to his new life?"

   The black car parked in front of the club, and it was an officer who drove Luke.

After    was promoted to major general, the military provided him with a special secretary, driver, and bodyguard—the last one was actually unnecessary.

   An accident is really going to happen, who is protecting whom?

   can be a bodyguard for Superman, at least he should be the Supreme Master, or the level of Odin.

   "But speaking of it, I really want to find someone who can do things for myself."

   Luke has several suitable candidates, but they have not yet been finalized.

   In his opinion, there is no future for it alone.

   You can't wait until the Chitaru army descends on the earth in the future, you have to leave your fist alone.

  Miscellaneous soldiers are of course handed over to their subordinates. Only enemies like Thanos, Apocalypse, and Domam are worthy of their own hands.

   "S.H.I.E.L.D. recruitment activity is about to begin, I don't know how many people can be recruited."

   Luke's thoughts floated and he lifted his foot up the steps.

   Just stepping into the lobby of the Army Club, there was a burst of exclamation.

   Luke, wearing a straight military uniform and meticulously combing his hair, instantly became the focus.

   No way, who told him he is now a celebrity, and the recruitment posters have changed from Uncle Sam to Superman in the red cape.

  The halo of the legendary hero is too attractive to the public.

   It's like many people talk about the story of Washington cutting down cherry trees and Columbus laying eggs.

   As for the truth or not, I don’t care.

   There are many legendary deeds in Luke, and it is worthy of people to talk about after dinner.

   "Major General Cavill, hello! I am the second batch of recruits in the Caspian training camp!"

   "Major General, I am your loyal admirer, can I sign it?"

   "Thank you for sealing those Aryan demons! You are a great hero!"

   "……"

   The chirping sound rushed over, covering the soothing music flowing in the hall for a while.

   The atmosphere of the whole club became noisy, and Luke was surrounded by retired soldiers or resting officers.

   "Sorry, I made an appointment with a friend."

   Seeing the topic getting more and more crooked, Luke hurriedly squeezed out of the encirclement and walked towards the second floor with a gentle and polite smile on his face.

   It is estimated that in the future, the name Superman is destined to be closely tied to topics such as the Aryan Demon and the Sorceress Piledriver.

   I really don’t know if I should thank Colonel Phillips, or if I have a headache because of my criticism.

   Luke had already foreseen that the reporter held the microphone in front of him and asked Superman how many embarrassing scenes of female warlock friends.

   "So, I prefer a low-key life, but my strength does not allow it."

   The young major general shook his head and came to the relatively quiet second floor.

   The first thing that caught your eye was Rogers sitting on the edge of the bar.

   "Hey, Colonel Rogers in Brooklyn, why are you frowning? Are you in conflict with your cute little girlfriend?"

   Luke patted the other person on the shoulder and joked: "Or, are you just mourning the death of the President?"

"neither."

   Rogers, who was already a colonel, was a little depressed, and took a sip of whiskey and said, "The war is over. This should be something to be happy about, but I seem to have lost my goal."

   As the well-known Captain America, Rogers's reputation is not lost to Luke.

   In the eyes of many children who love to read comics, the Stars and Stripes uniform is more iconic than Superman's red cape.

   "You look a little depressed."

   Luke snapped his fingers and ordered a glass of fruity gin.

   Because of his relationship, Rogers' life trajectory has changed.

   did not fall into the glacier, let alone sleep for seventy years.

   Captain America has since ushered in a new life-although I don't know if it is good or bad.

  He successfully returned to Brooklyn, was honored by the president as the captain of the United States, and fell in love with a blonde girl who looked like a little rose.

   Except that the whereabouts of good friends are temporarily unknown, all this seems so beautiful.

   "I found myself nowhere to go, Luke."

   Rogers smiled bitterly. He was received by the new president not long ago and awarded the Medal of Honor.

   also have this kind of treatment, including following Luke's roaring commando, as well as important members of the Strategic Science Corps.

   Logically speaking, Rogers should be satisfied.

   But he stayed in Brooklyn for a while, but he felt completely at a loss, as if losing his way.

   "The door of SHIELD is open to you at any time."

   Luke smiled and shook the liquor in the glass.

   He can understand Rogers' feelings, it's like many veterans walking off the battlefield, unable to immediately integrate into society.

   Soldiers who are accustomed to guns and gunpowder often find it difficult to adapt to the laughter and laughter around them.

   "S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

   Rogers was a little surprised, he had never heard of this organization.

   "It's the Strategic Science Corps." Luke explained. "The war is over, and the strategic scientific corps originally used to fight the Hydra is facing reorganization. I simply changed the name."

   "Is SHIELD sound much better?"

   "In this way, you have something to do. Unlike me, you haven't found your goal yet."

   Rogers' eyes showed a trace of envy.

  What he wants most is the firm attitude of Luke who is always on the move and never hesitates.

   "Steve, don't always think about everything you have experienced on the battlefield. Even if you are not a good soldier, you can do other things. What's more, this country still needs you."

Luke once again played the role of a spiritual mentor, persuasively saying: "Peace is only temporary. Even if fascism (xi)ism is dismantled and the Nazism camp is crushed, the White House politicians will soon discover a new one. The enemy, a red brown bear standing in the plains of Siberia."

   That is a huge country that occupies one-fifth of the world's land area, and it is the main core of the bipolar pattern.

   "You mean, there will be war?"

   Rogers was a little shocked, he didn't doubt Luke's judgment.

  Because after many fact-checks, it has been proved that friends have always been very accurate and can always penetrate the truth sharply.

   "In a sense, that is indeed war."

   Luke took a sip of wine, and it won’t be long before the newly appointed president will practice "Trumanism" and start the Cold War.

   Warsaw Pact and NATO mean the emergence of two military and political blocs and the confrontation between two social systems.

   "So think about it. Sooner or later, Captain America will pick up his shield and step on the battlefield again. S.H.I.E.L.D. will be a good place to stay."

   Luke is like a broker on Wall Street selling stocks. Rogers, who originally planned to retire from the game, was a little shaken when he returned to ordinary life.

   "Let me think about it. Thank you, Luke."

   Rogers sincerely thank you.

   "It's not just you, Steve. While this country is in mourning for President Roosevelt, while immersed in the cheers of victory in the war, everyone feels confused and no one knows where to go..."

   Luke drank all the gin in the glass~www.ltnovel.com~ and patted Rogers on the shoulder.

   The position of Captain America is actually very embarrassing.

  In the original plot, Rogers fell into a glacier and was pursued by the military as a war hero.

   For a dead person who can't speak, of course he can be infinitely elevated, and it is not an exaggeration to praise it.

   But it's different now, Rogers is still alive.

   Therefore, apart from the hero's name, the military does not intend to give any substantial rewards.

   Luke understood this early on.

   The so-called "war hero" is nothing but the mascot of the military.

   When the country needs you, it will naturally hold it high and vigorously promote the so-called heroic deeds and positive image.

   But once the war is over, they lose the value of use, and instantly become a dispensable existence.

   Rogers is the case.

   The United States, who won the war and is ready to sit down and share the cake, no longer needs a Captain America to sell bonds.

   So he was abandoned, and the military did not ask, the White House could give nothing but honor.

   Luke, who knew the trajectory of the future, began preparations long ago.

   used to conquer the city of Rome in Italy, and got an indelible astonishing record.

   then defeated Hydra, initially laid his foundation, and gradually won his personal right to speak.

   Today, he is no longer a hero with a mere fame, but a general with real power.

   "I hope you can give me an answer when I meet next time, Steve."

   Luke raised his hand to look at the time, put the tip under the cup, and helped Rogers pay the bill by the way.

   He has to go to see the next guest.
