"Every time I see Rear Admiral Cavill, I have a different feeling. He can always create some unexpected... surprises for everyone from time to time."
Navy Department Zhang Nimitz shook his head and said with a smile, if he were a devout religious person and saw this scene with his own eyes, he might start reciting the Bible or making the sign of the cross on his chest.
I believe that Moses's miracle of dividing the sea will be published in newspapers soon, and it will trigger a huge response.
It is foreseeable that among the long list of dazzling titles of Luke, there will probably be more legendary stories similar to "God Among Men" and "Reincarnation of the Holy Son".
"Superman——This title is worthy of its name. Super Soldier is far from enough to describe the strength of Rear Admiral Cavill."
The general next to him sighed.
"I heard that another Super Soldier, Colonel Steve-Rogers, also performed wonderfully on the Boston battlefield? Everyone, I think it is time to put the research plan on human enhancement on the agenda."
"It's our turn to worry about it. S.H.I.E.L.D. is responsible for this."
The older general said sourly.
The military actually criticized S.H.I.E.L.D. for being independent of the Pentagon.
Power without jurisdiction can easily lead to the birth of a dictator.
"Anyway, we are witnessing a rising young Nova shining brightly. No one knows where Rear Admiral Cavill will go in the future."
In the staff group, someone said with a tone of admiration and envy.
"How can I continue to be called Major General? I think I will change my tune soon. General Cahill has set a record for United States's fastest promotion."
Navy Department Nimitz chuckled.
White House is definitely preparing for the award ceremony.
This is a good opportunity to build relationships.
I remember that at the end of the war, most people in the military believed that Luke, who was still a brigadier general at that time, should be excluded from the center of power.
At least sit on the bench quietly to avoid being promoted too quickly and becoming factionally powerful, threatening the original interest groups.
But no one expected that this young major general did not seek refuge on any mountain.
He neither expressed his attitude to the Navy Department nor showed any closeness to the War Department.
He took the initiative to take charge of the unpopular S.H.I.E.L.D., making it difficult for the powerful Edgar-Hoover to step down.
Then, he broke away from the constraints of the Pentagon and became a mountain of his own!
"It's really amazing speed."
Nimitz sighed with emotion, turned around and invited all his colleagues, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go over to greet Rear Admiral Cavill."
Although the relationship between the Navy Department and War Department is not good, there are many disagreements.
But everyone on Liberty Island had to admit that when they saw Luke appear, they did feel a sense of security.
Especially when I discovered that Atlanteans, who had been so aggressive and victorious just now, now had a depressed and resentful expression on his face.
Navy Department's senior officials suddenly felt relaxed and had smiles on their faces.
On the other hand, Atlantis's side, since Luke held Golden Trident and left Hudson River.
The high-spirited momentum was suffocated, and he no longer maintained his original proud appearance.
"Damn it! That's my Golden Trident!"
Namor's chest heaved and he was filled with anger, as if someone had taken away his wife.
Poseidon Neptune's Trident was supposed to be his exclusive weapon!
Now, it is held by Land People!
"If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have come to the negotiations!"
Namor gritted his teeth and felt regretful.
He clutched his chest, and the injuries that had long since healed still ached a little.
"Your Majesty, this is a great humiliation to us by Land People! In tens of thousands of years, there has never been an example of non-royal blood holding Trident!"
Hammerhead Shark Tribe's Legion Commander's eyes widened, and veins popped out on his forehead.
Atlantis's mighty army all looked at the tall figure who was riding the waves, like a god descending from the earth.
They have never heard of "Exodus", nor do they know that in 1250 BC there was a prophet named Moses who once left Red Sea and was regarded as a miracle.
The reason why they all looked at each other in unison was because Luke held the golden Neptune's Trident in his right hand.
That is the symbol of Atlantis royal power!
Namor glanced at Legion Commander of the Hammerhead Shark Tribe, maybe the other party said this out of inner anger.
But it sounds like he is accusing himself of throwing away the inherited artifact of King Atlantis.
He suppressed his violent mood and said without emotion, "The brave Legion Commander, do you want to challenge Superman to a duel later and get Trident back for me in a fair and just traditional way?"
Legion Commander of the Hammerhead Shark Tribe fell silent, and the strength of Superman was obvious to all.
Even Namor is no match. If you challenge rashly, you will only bring humiliation to yourself.
Although Atlanteans still looks down on Land World, they identify with the strong.
"Your Majesty, this is what a king should do."
Legion Commander said in a rough voice.
"Hmph! I can."
The young king began to consider Sebastian-Xiao's suggestion and prepared to use Continental Shelf Shaker as a bargaining chip to strive for more favorable negotiation conditions.
Twenty minutes later, Liberty Island's conference room.
Negotiations on the armistice are in full swing.
Atlanteans is represented by Namor and his clerk, and Legion Commander of the Hammerhead Shark Tribe.
The team sent by America is composed of the generals and staff of the Navy Department.
As for Luke, he did not speak during the whole process.
But before the negotiation meeting started, I communicated with Nimitz in private.
It probably means that you can make requests casually and state the conditions boldly.
Don't worry about Atlantis's bottom line and affordability, just ask for it, it's best to squeeze the other party dry to the last drop.
Luke itself doesn't care how much benefit it can get, because no matter how much it gets, it doesn't belong to S.H.I.E.L.D..
He hopes to extend the negotiation time until S.H.I.E.L.D. has enough confidence to take over all this.
"I remember Atlantis still has a lot of good things."
Luke tapped his fingers on the table, his thoughts fluctuating.
Although he said nothing, he was always the focus of the meeting room.
Every time Atlantis argued against the Navy Department's request, their representative would always subconsciously glance at where he was sitting.
It seemed that Superman was worried that Land World would be dissatisfied. He overturned the negotiation table, rolled up his sleeves and showed his fists.
Of all the people present, except for Namor, probably no one could withstand the opponent's serious punch.
"Everyone, don't worry about my opinion."
Luke shrugged and kept a kind smile and said, "Friends who are familiar with me know that I am actually a pacifist and I always like to convince people with reason."
"Atlantis and United States have restarted the war. This is an outcome that no one wants to see. I sincerely hope that all problems will be resolved on the negotiation table instead of a barbaric fight."
Mr. Major General said beautiful words and waved his hands sincerely, indicating that you can continue talking and don't worry about me.
The representative of Atlantis nodded in a friendly manner and also talked about peace and the future in a difficult tone.
In fact, deep down in my heart, I don't believe a single punctuation mark of Luke's speech.
To convince people with reason?
If Superman puts down his clenched fist, he does look like a reasonable and kind-hearted person.
After both sides talked some useless nonsense, the negotiations continued.
Atlantis said nothing about compensation and only discussed future development and peaceful coexistence.
He is just like a replica of Beacon of Freedom. He talks about freedom and democracy, but in fact all he does is plunder.
Luke must admit that seeing American Empire being disgusted like this made him feel a little happy.
The bottom line for military representatives is to work hard to gain some benefits.
Facing the powerful Atlantis, even if Luke said he could make requests casually, Navy Department would not dare to speak loudly.
Otherwise, when the time comes, the blame for starting the war will have to be placed on his own head.
The two teams of men and horses were pulling back and forth, just like novices fighting each other under a defense tower. It was not entertaining and made people sleepy.
"I have something to say, please listen carefully."
During the stalemate, Namor, one of the brainless and unhappy group, stood up.
A confident expression appeared on his face, sweeping across everyone present - except for Luke who closed his eyes to rest.
