As three "Battleship-class" died in Paris, and Saint General committed suicide by drinking bullets in the underground research institute, the crumbling Third Reich finally collapsed.
The world war that lasted for many years also came to an end.
When the news of the victory was sent back to London and then sent to White House via radio waves, the senior officials of Allied Nations were very excited.
Many congressmen immediately held press conferences to publicize and win over public opinion.
People who were looking forward to the arrival of peace and the smoke clearing also took to the streets and caroused all night long.
It is said that New York was brightly lit that night, like a bright ocean.
However, a few days later, more people's attention was attracted by Luke, which once again made headlines in newspapers.
A black and white photo published on the front page of "New York Times"!
Shocked half the world!
Spark a frenzy of discussion!
In the photo, a young brigadier general wearing metal armor stands high in the sky, his cape fluttering like a flag.
Due to the precise control of the angle and light, Luke, whose face is blurred, exudes a strong momentum.
Just like those heroes from mythological epics.
Bathed in golden light, majestic!
"A flying Superman!"
"I heard that the Brigadier General flew to Berlin and ended the war!"
"I also know that Commodore Cavill fought alone in Paris with hundreds of Aryan demons summoned by Fuhrer for three days and three nights. In the end, he spent half of his life before sealing them and sending them back to hell!"
"Haha, what are you talking about? The latest news is that Berlin's mustache Fuhrer sacrificed the lives of millions of people and transformed himself into the king of hell - if Commodore Cavill hadn't stepped forward, the whole world would have been destroyed."
"Hiss! Long live Allied Nations! Commodore Cavill is indeed War Hero!"
"..."
It didn't take long for similar rumors to spread throughout America.
There is even a tendency to continue to ferment and spread outward.
There were people talking about this in every tavern, hotel, and street, as if they had witnessed it with their own eyes, and it was extremely true.
The most outrageous thing is that Luke used love to influence a certain Aryan female devil named Sieglinde, and there were additional details of emotional entanglement.
After this version, the tragic story of "a certain German country girl was brutally transformed into a demon by Fuhrer, but fortunately got the help of Allied Nations Superman and regained her self-awareness".
Even London's gang was not idle. Many third-rate writers, in order to gain popularity, applied the templates of Merlin, Arthur King, and the Twelve Knights of the Round Table to Luke, and made up all kinds of incredible and bizarre experiences.
Among them, the most widely spread is that Luke was born in a mysterious family of demon hunters, known as the "walking pile driver" and "friend of the sorceress". Later, he was inspired by the fairy in the lake to join Allied Nations to fight against Axis of Evil.
With all kinds of news flying all over the place, the general public ignores the most critical information in key photos.
That is the Allied Brigadier General Super Soldier, who can actually fly?
If we talk about punching tanks and kicking Berlin's "Battleship-class" soldiers, they are still within the acceptable range.
But the sudden flying ability and the never-before-seen metal armor easily aroused some people's inquiring minds.
"Colonel, I'm just asking you to help with publicity. I don't intend to become the material of various novels - look at the secret past stories Luke-Commodore Cavill and Aryan demons have to tell! And this, decipher the truth behind Allied Superman! The years I was a witcher in London!"
London Bletchley Manor, Luke in the suburbs spread out the recent newspapers, looked at Colonel Phillips who looked proud, and said helplessly, "My uncle Frank called me a few days ago and said that a reporter from New York came to interview him and asked him if he knew that his nephew was actually from a witcher family and had indescribable super-friendships with many sorceresses."
"That's a good thing, Luke."
In private, Colonel Phillips did not abide by the strict titles of superiors and subordinates. He laughed and said, "At least you are a topical young brigadier now, War Hero, instead of being ignored like Rogers."
"We all understand the virtues of politicians. When they need something from you, they can kneel down and lick your boots. But if there is no use value, even looking at you is a waste of time."
Luke nodded in agreement. The photo that caused heated discussions was actually a staged photo.
After he left Berlin, he specifically asked Colonel Phillips to find a photographer.
Afterwards, send it to New York Times in the name of the other party.
Image synthesis technology has not yet been developed in this era, so there is no need to question the authenticity of the photos, and people are willing to believe them.
The reason for doing this is because the war is over, Luke must seize the time to gain more reputation points.
But I didn't expect that Colonel Phillips would cause such a big fuss. The secret story of Allied Superman and Aryan demons has almost become one of the local pop culture of America.
A few days ago, Paramount Pictures sent someone to ask if Luke was interested in bringing this experience to the screen. It would be even better if he himself was willing to participate.
Although the actors are undecided, the script is not yet available, and the funds are insufficient, as long as the Allied brigadier general nods his approval, everything will not be a problem.
Paramount is confident that it can invite big stars like James Stewart, Clark-Gable, and Caitlin-Hepburn to join.
"If I write a few memoirs after retiring, or enter Hollywood, I will definitely have a lot of money."
Luke also has no intention of blaming Colonel Phillips. Increasing visibility is one of the purposes.
Even if the topic is taken more and more crookedly, it doesn't hurt.
According to Hollywood's business operations, these "true deeds" about himself are expected to be adapted many times and put on the screen.
Maybe you can even get a Oscar, leaving your name in film history and creating a good story.
"Luke, you should have a broader future."
After the small talk, Colonel Phillips suppressed his smile and said solemnly, "It's just that I need to hibernate for the time being, waiting for the right time to soar into the sky."
Luke raised his eyebrows. After returning from Berlin, he received a commendation from the top management of Allied Nations.
Churchill, who left War Cabinet and returned to Prime Minister's house, called him the liberator of the free world.
The president who was far away in White House was more straightforward, saying that Luke changed the direction of the war and single-handedly saved Allied Nations.
It's just that both parties only paid lip service to it, without providing any tangible benefits.
Allied Nations must also have a headache. What kind of practical reward can be given to a brigadier general who is only 20 years old?
Major general?
Lieutenant General?
Or an admiral?
With such a fast promotion speed, when Luke turns thirty, wouldn't he be able to sit directly in the position of Department of Defense's eldest brother!
In this regard, the British have the mentality of just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously. Prime Minister said that for such a contribution, it is nothing to give a five-star general. If America is reluctant, he can let Luke join England. The empire will welcome him as the sun never sets.
White House's president has a smile on his face, and his heart has long been full of fragrance.
"It seems that Colonel you have received the news."
Luke doesn't attach much importance to military ranks. Even though he is now a general, he has no real power under his command, just a false title.
Allied Nations is busy liberating Berlin now. When the war is over, he will naturally sit down to share the cake and reward the heroes.
At that time, Luke and Captain America Rogers will all return to New York to receive commendations and awards.
"It was proposed that you continue to lead Strategic Scientific Reserve."
Colonel Phillips's face was as dark as water. This is obviously because the military wanted to isolate Luke on the periphery of the central authority.
The main reason may be that he is afraid that the young brigadier general will enter Department of Defense too early, which will cause a series of problems such as excessive power and difficulty in restraint.
Of course, the more critical thing is that there is not enough strong support behind Luke.
Superman is very powerful, but those who are accustomed to thinking with politicians or the logic of interests only regard the other party as a weapon of the country - this is a very stupid but very true idea.
Even when politicians and capitalists face mobs, their first thought is always to use status and money to ensure their own safety.
But they forget that some people don't follow this set of rules.
"This is just a suggestion! If you don't want to, no one will force you, Eisenhower will be happy to lend a hand to help..."
Luke waved his hand to stop the colonel's good intentions, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he was not angry.
Of course he knew that the military owed him a favor, and those big bosses were willing to take this opportunity to repay it to him.
Capture Rome and assist the Allied forces to land on Sicily. For such a big contribution, Luke gave it to Eisenhower without blinking an eye.
At the same time, he also handed over the honor to the president to ease domestic conflicting opinions.
If you want to enter Department of Defense and step into the center of the power structure, you will definitely be able to do so.
"Too bad I just want to develop in peace."
Luke thought silently.
From the current perspective, Strategic Scientific Reserve is just an insignificant small organization.
But when the era of superheroes comes, the behemoth S.H.I.E.L.D. will emerge - as its predecessor, Strategic Scientific Reserve actually has great development prospects.
"The first S.H.I.E.L.D. chief?"
A certain Nick Fury flashed in Luke's mind, expressing that he was very satisfied with the decision of the Allied high-level officials.
