Superman

A few days later, noon.

Several jeeps drove slowly into the Piazza Venezia, with Colonel Phillips and Peggy Carter sitting on them.

Covered with white marble, this round square is located in the center of Rome, surrounded by Italian defenders.

They surrounded the Venetian palace towering on the side of the square, and even set up machine guns.

It's no wonder that this group of Italians threw themselves into the crowd, and made a surprisingly big fanfare.

A few days ago, the huge turmoil in the Venetian Palace almost made the Italian king think it was an Allied tank entering the city. The air force launched a bombardment and got up from the bed late at night in fright and didn't fall asleep the whole night.

Later, it was learned that Hitler had sent people to try to rescue Mussolini, and the royal family hurriedly mobilized the army to enclose the Venetian Palace in the name of protection.

"It looks like Captain Cavill scared these Italians enough."

Colonel Phillips said in a victorious gesture.

He opened the door of the car, walked down from the inside, and looked at the Venetian Palace.

The eyes of other people also looked to the balcony on the second floor.

Mussolini once lived there and gave a famous "balcony speech."

He also uttered those provocative remarks to the Italian people and promised many seemingly bright futures.

Now, the dictator is overthrown and the country chooses to surrender.

All the good things are gone.

The Piazza Venezia was gradually crowded with Italian people.

After a while, a tall figure walked out, standing on the open-air balcony, carrying an Italian dictator who was never as prestigious as before.

Mussolini, who was once instructive, was like an eggplant beaten by frost, with his shoulders drooping and being lifted up by humiliation.

He looked at Luke with hatred and fear. It was this young Allied Captain who ended his dictatorship!

The opponent suddenly rushed into the Venetian Palace like a magical soldier, defeated all the guards, and defeated the team that Hitler had come to rescue.

Let you, the ruler of Italy, become a prisoner of a little captain!

On the quiet square, a cheer soon sounded, followed by warm applause like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.

Waves of sound wave after wave, centering on Piazza Venezia, spreading in all directions, from block to block!

"Liberate Italy! Long live freedom!"

"Down with the dictator! Mussolini stepped down!"

"Hang him! Hang this demon!"

Amidst the enthusiastic and grand cheers, such slogans continued to emerge, and more people began to gather in Piazza Venezia.

All of them looked excited, raising their arms and shouting!

Mussolini's dictatorship led to the prevalence of fascism (xi).

Food is regulated, freedom of speech is prohibited, people take to the streets to demonstrate every day, and the wave of strikes has never stopped.

Therefore, in the eyes of the people whose lives are miserable, Luke is not a heinous aggressor, but a great hero who liberated this country from the dictator!

Well, this fits the Italians' character of adoring romance!

"The original decision was right."

Seeing that on the character panel, the reputation value refreshed rapidly like a waterfall, Luke expressed his satisfaction.

He prefers the former to take the initiative and complete the task passively!

When the cheering crowd gradually dispersed, Colonel Phillips led Carter into the Venetian Palace.

The Roaring Commando put away the heavy machine guns in the lobby, waiting for the condolences from the friendly forces.

"Long time no see, Luke!"

Colonel Phillips could no longer maintain his calm expression, holding Luke's palm excitedly.

Seeing him like that, it seems that I can’t wait to take a group photo immediately and get on the newspapers of the Allies with these legendary figures as soon as possible!

"You really didn't let me down! Mr. President praised you very much, and he will honor you as soon as he returns to New York!"

Colonel Phillips leaned close to Luke's ear and whispered the news.

Carter's beautiful eyes flickered. She did not expect that the young Brooklyn man who met at the Stark Industry Fair would one day become a war hero of the Allies.

There is nothing more wonderful than this in life.

Under the instigation of the American military, Luke's name has spread throughout the Allies, and the legendary deeds are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Compared to staying on stage to promote bonds, wearing costumes and performing, the well-known Captain America, like Luke, who sneaked into the base camp behind enemy lines alone and made an amazing cause of sensation in the world, is more likely to be recognized by soldiers!

"I just won this war for the Allies and made some trivial contributions, just like every soldier fighting on the front line."

Luke humbly responded to Colonel Phillips's compliments, and this kind of behavior is more appreciated.

A soldier who can remain calm in the face of applause and flowers is the right person to become a general.

...

...

The night is draped in tulle, and comes gracefully.

After a fierce battle, the Venetian Palace was cleaned up and cleaned by the Italians, and it has become completely new-if you ignore the destroyed outdoor balcony of the bedroom, and the collapsed dungeon.

The walls like hornet's nest have been repainted and carved with more exquisite patterns.

The marble floor condensed with blood stains, after cleaning and sweeping, it looked like a smooth mirror.

Falling off crystal chandeliers, damaged oil paintings, broken railings... all of them have been restored and replaced with new ones.

Soothing music flows in the air of the Venetian Palace.

Those princes and ministers, the rich and powerful, came here as if rushing to a ball.

The protagonist of this banquet is naturally Luke in a straight military uniform.

Everyone is very curious about what this war hero who led a team to break through Rome and liberate Italy looks like.

When they saw Luke who was tall and tall, they were not disappointed.

The face is cold and the eyes are deep, like a heroic figure from Greek mythology, which makes people feel convincing.

Although the Allied Captain is still very young, his momentum is no less than that of the princes and dignitaries present, and no one dares to despise him!

——Do not rule out that this is the impact of the achievement of the "Legendary Man".

"Guess where the Allies are going to promote you to?"

The ambitions were staggered, the host and the host were enjoying themselves, as if they had left the war behind. After Luke had a group of royal family members and senior officials, he was pulled aside by Colonel Phillips in his spare time.

"Colonel? Or lieutenant colonel?"

Luke was holding a glass of champagne with a relaxed smile on his face.

He is too young, even if he has real achievements, he still lacks the qualifications.

You know, the most famous general in American history, Douglas MacArthur, was promoted to major general at the age of forty-five.

Luke knew in his heart that no matter the military or the president, it was impossible to promote him too high all at once.

First, it will cause criticism and cause dissatisfaction.

Secondly, it is difficult to convince the public, after all, he has no foundation now.

Relying on the name of a war hero is not enough to equalize the leaders of the various factions of the military.

What's more, the false name of "hero" can be fabricated, and it is the least valuable!

"In the beginning, I was preparing to award a colonel. A colonel under twenty years old is enough to reward you, but..."

Colonel Phillips had a big smile on his old face.

"The Italians disagree! Especially the royal family, if only a small colonel conquered Rome, it would make them faceless!"

The government of the Kingdom of Italy would never accept that a colonel with less than 30 people dared to break into the city of Rome. He kidnapped Mussolini grandiosely, frightened 40 million people, and lived in the Venetian Palace to give orders like the Supreme Emperor.

This is shameful!

And it will make Italy a laughing stock!

"and so?"

Luke raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, this result was unexpected.

"Congratulations, Luke, for being the youngest general in American history!"

Colonel Phillips replied.
