"Major General, thank you for your hard work."
When Luke pushed the door in and stepped on Oval Office's blue carpet, a kind smile appeared on the President's face.
The greeting was as cordial as if Luke was his biological son, revealing a fatherly tone.
A few hours ago, this young man with a series of titles such as S.H.I.E.L.D. commander and Army major general on his head pushed two aircraft carriers with damaged power systems back to the large dock of Norfolk Naval Base with his bare hands.
The scene at that time was extremely spectacular!
The sailors who witnessed it with their own eyes called it a miracle!
Before this, no one had ever thought that flesh and blood could shake an aircraft carrier of tens of thousands of tons.
This is like an ant trying to push a big tree, it is impossible to achieve.
Captain Brock, who has always been known for his calmness, was shocked. Allied Nations has such a Super Soldier. How did those bastards Axis Powers survive?
The huge steel aircraft carrier formed a huge contrast with the tiny figures, creating a sense of power that hit us, making everyone hold their breath and dare not speak out.
It wasn't until the moment Lincoln was pushed that enthusiastic cheers and applause broke out.
Afterwards, Navy Department's elder Nimitz heard the news and joked that there was no need for the country to invest huge sums of money every year in nuclear energy research and secretly compete with Soviet Union.
Compared with Atomic Bomb, Superman, which can carry out precise strikes and cause large-scale damage, is more suitable as a deterrent strategic weapon.
The President wholeheartedly agrees with this.
It's a pity that the launch button of Superman, Atomic Bomb, is not in my hands.
"I just made a small contribution."
Luke said something special and strode to the desk.
After beating up Namor and pushing the aircraft carrier, his reputation experienced a slight increase.
Compared with keeping a low profile, it is more promising to show off.
Colonel Phillips specially hired a private photographer for himself, like the scene when pushing the aircraft carrier. Later it was Stennis's turn and he took many photos specially.
It is estimated that by tomorrow morning, all New York newspaper headlines will be occupied by Luke.
"The threat from Atlantis does not end here. Namor-Mackenzie has a certain amount of hatred towards humans."
Instead of squeezing into the large sofa occupied by the Pentagon generals, Mr. Major General pulled out a high-backed chair and sat down.
For Superman, the amount of exercise required to push the aircraft carrier with bare hands is almost equivalent to twenty times of bench press for an ordinary person.
I still feel a little tired.
"Rear Admiral Cavill, are you reminding us to prepare for war?"
The president's face was solemn, he pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said in a deep voice, "Then what should the Pentagon do next?"
Originally, the Red Bear on the Siberia plain was already a headache enough.
The emergence of another Atlantis with ancient heritage is simply a disaster!
Although it is said that White-headed Eagle in the 21st century likes to stir up trouble everywhere, and often uses the threat of force to intervene in the politics of other countries.
But that is based on its own strong military strength and the development of overseas mines everywhere.
The current world structure is gradually changing to two poles.
The prelude to the Cold War has begun to take shape.
We are still far away from the era of hegemony in which one company dominates and one superpower has many powers.
"I am just an ordinary major general who has never commanded any war. For this kind of professional question, the President should ask the generals here."
Luke made a modest appearance, waved his hand and said, "They are all excellent generals who have experienced World War I, World War II and have rich experience. They have an extremely profound understanding of the war situation and various tactics of land, sea and air. It is my turn to express my opinions."
The president, who held his forehead with his hands, took a deep breath and didn't know what to say.
He had no choice but to turn his attention to the generals of the Pentagon, who all remained silent, completely missing the high-spirited momentum of the quarrel just now.
They don't even know the exact location of Atlantis, let alone fight against it.
No matter how much aircraft carrier formation is invested, it will be in vain when encountering Atlantis who is Ocean Civilization.
"Rear Admiral Cavill, S.H.I.E.L.D. have a certain degree of understanding of those Deep Sea People."
The president, who was being kicked around like a ball, had no choice but to look at the young major general sitting opposite again. "To deal with the coming war and assume the highest command, this responsibility belongs to you."
Luke showed a troubled expression and said hesitantly, "How can I, a major general in the army with no achievements, take on such a big responsibility? Doesn't that mean that all the generals are incompetent? What's more, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s efficiency in doing things is far inferior to FBI led by Director Hoover. His leadership skills and strategic vision are far above mine."
Since Luke appeared, Edgar-Hoover, who silently played the role of little transparent, suddenly became the focus of the audience.
The boss of FBI said, "Where, where? The major general is joking."
"The President, part of the reason for this Atlantis incident is S.H.I.E.L.D., but in the final analysis, my ability is limited."
Luke looked sincere and continued, "I have conducted deep self-reflection and decided to give up the position of chief S.H.I.E.L.D.. The next intelligence work can be handed over to Director Hoover. He has always had the reputation of King of Agents. He has made great achievements by arresting Soviet Union spies many times. I believe that Atlantis's home base will be found soon."
Hoover, who was staying in the corner, was restless. He regretted it now, very much.
Why bother with S.H.I.E.L.D. if you have nothing to do!
Feeling all the eyes focused on him, Hoover acted decisively and said bitterly, "Those are all false rumors in the market. FBI's work ability has always been lacking, and it is far inferior to S.H.I.E.L.D. led by Rear Admiral Cavill."
The president nodded in agreement.
At this time, of course, you need to get close to people who can solve the problem.
Although Rear Admiral Cavill always likes to ask for funds, he is not particular about what he does, which makes people feel a little frustrated.
But every critical moment, he can show enough usefulness.
"Major General, since Director Hoover has said so, it is still up to you to make the war plan to deal with Atlantis. The command of the Pentagon will also be transferred to your hands."
The president made a final decision, as if he was afraid that the other party would reject it.
"Okay then. Alas, I am an ordinary major general in the army, how come..."
Luke smiled, seemingly helpless, and reluctantly accepted the appointed task.
There is no way, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!
"In this case, I will just say a few words. In order to better carry out work, carry out actions and confirm its confidentiality. I think S.H.I.E.L.D. should be separated and it will no longer be a subsidiary organization under the framework of the Pentagon."
Mr. Major General, who holds great power, talks eloquently as if he has a draft in mind.
"Atlantis is not a small country. It is quite old, has a profound foundation, and its military strength cannot be underestimated. You have also seen that just one person, Namor, is enough to bulldoze Second Fleet of Atlantic Ocean."
"Ordinary weapons and ordinary soldiers can hardly threaten Atlantis. Therefore, S.H.I.E.L.D. must recruit more people. Only a strong enough team can cope with more terrifying crises!"
"..."
This young major general, who said that his abilities were limited and could not take on major responsibilities, gave a total of 23 detailed and meaningful specific policies, which made the president and generals dumbfounded.
It feels like it was written in advance and memorized!
"——The above is just my little, insignificant personal opinion."
Forty minutes later, Luke, who did not feel thirsty at all, ended his speech.
