Superman

Chapter 35: At the end of the banquet, men and women clash

"This is an unprecedented glory!"

Colonel Phillips seemed more excited than Luke himself, and the old face was full of pride and pride.

At the age of twenty, he is a general!

What a speed of promotion 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".

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

Colonel Phillips said with emotion.

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

People like the famous generals in American history, Douglas MacArthur and Dwight Eisenhower, only sat in that position in their forties.

The former is regarded as a generation of legends.

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

It is conceivable that Luke, ranked as Commodore, has a great future!

Many people regard 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 will actually agree?"

Luke was also surprised.

If it weren't for the current time of war and an urgent need for a star figure, and his own credit is beyond criticism, this would definitely be considered the biggest shady in the history of the military!

The Allies had heated discussions about this, but in the end they still couldn't bear the firm stand of the Government of the Kingdom of Italy!

After all, this is related to a country's reputation!

When talking about this in the future, the first thing people think of is how incompetent the Italian army is, and let an Allied captain lead the team and break the city of Rome with many troops!

In order to redeem their own small reputation, the Royal Italian government even said shamelessly that if the Allies did not give a reasonable reward to the war hero, then they would choose to unilaterally award the rank of General Luke Cavill!

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

A soldier who was only twenty years old and had been in the army for less than two months was promoted to the position of brigadier general.

The compromise and concessions of the Allies finally brought the turmoil behind the scenes to an end.

"In fact, the Italians are still not satisfied. They are not greedy enough, and even want you to sit directly on the throne of the marshal, so that you can be more face."

Colonel Phillips whispered, a hint of mockery in his tone.

In order to give Italy face, promote a young man who is less than twenty years old to a five-star general, the field marshal, that is ridiculous!

They are the one that surrenders, not the winner!

"It's very cold in the heights, Colonel. Thank you Mr. President for your kindness on my behalf."

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

The foundation is not solid enough, and the qualifications are not deep enough, no matter how high it is, it is useless.

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

Luke spoke methodically, obviously not being swept away by the sudden honor.

Colonel Phillips nodded appreciatively, and Eisenhower is now in the military, with his prestige in the sky.

In particular, he led one hundred thousand British and American troops, divided into three groups, and landed in the French North African colony.

Using powerful air force cover, they occupied Algiers, Oran and Casablanca in Morocco.

Immediately afterwards, they marched westward, forming an east-west attack against the German-Italian coalition forces that had retreated into Tunisia.

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

This huge victory eased the setbacks encountered by the Allied forces in the Eastern European battlefield and once again put the Axis powers at a disadvantage.

"General Dwight will remember your kindness, but he actually appreciates you personally."

Colonel Phillips couldn't help admiring Luke's eyes.

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

And Eisenhower, whose reputation is increasing day by day, is undoubtedly a suitable target for alliance.

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

Before long, he was awarded the honorary rank of five-star general by the Allies!

Even later, Eisenhower also participated in the presidential election and was re-elected for two consecutive terms. It can be said that he is an outstanding military strategist and politician.

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

The cold night wind blows by, the night sky is full of stars, and the silver brilliance of the bright moon falls 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, 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 patio and said with a smile.

Under the noisy night sky, the couple began to chat.

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

Luke thought of Captain America. At this time, the other party should still be selling bonds on stage and traveling to various places for touring.

"Following the Senator to make movies, perform shows, and recently published a personal cartoon. Rogers is much more popular than you!"

Carter chuckles.

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

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

"About three days later, the Roaring Commando and I set off for New York. At that time, I will suggest to the military that Steve should be transferred to me."

Luke said to himself.

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

The politicians of the committee want to support themselves, but they are not qualified!

"Then he will thank you very much."

Carter put his arms around his chest, and said, "Those Italian ladies, the eyes looking at you are really enthusiastic, as if they want to eat you as dessert."

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

"I also have a deep understanding of this. A beautiful lady in the hallway stopped me and said that I would like to thank me for liberating Italy and defeating the dictator... Then I had to let me visit her room."

Luke shrugged and said that the beautiful lady who was said to be the daughter of a certain wealthy girl had soft lips and slippery tongue. Unfortunately, due to some unspeakable pressure, he could only taste it and could not communicate deeply.

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

Carter frowned and his attitude became cold.

How could she not connect the slightly frivolous young man in front of her with the legendary heroes of the Allies.

"Of course. It is a pity that any man refuses such an invitation."

Luke frankly said.

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

"Brigadier General Cavill, you are more sophistic 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 people who can talk like me should publish a book after the war is over, called-"From Third Class to General, it only takes two months." Note: The youngest general in the United States used his own personal experience to teach you how to reach the pinnacle of life! What do you think?"

Luke was like a flamboyant prodigal son, who was not as stable as he was during the day, which caused Carter to resent.

"Well, the chat time is over, I have to visit... Miss Isha's room is gone. Have a nice evening, Miss Carter."

Seeing the atmosphere stiffen, Luke smiled slightly.

Holding the glass of champagne, turned and left.

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

But why does he want to be like this?
