1955, November

10 years had passed by. Hector became the only President in history to win the election with an absolute majority for the 3rd time. First, he became the President in 1941 due to Roosevelt resigning, then won in 1944, 1948 and 1952. Now, he was going to run for another term in the election next year. He had an iron grip on the Senate and the House of Representatives. Hence, no laws restricting the term limit came.

Not to mention, the maximum number of politicians were these days influenced by Hector's thinking, formally creating a "Washington School of Thought". Everyone in this group was loyal to Hector, learned from his way of doing politics and his ideologies of how to grow a nation with capitalism while not messing with people's lives.

His presidency was defined by ultimate prosperity and the economy rising like never before. Quality of life improved, everyone had a job. Cars, coloured television and cinema got widely adopted. The American Freight Corridor with a High-Speed railway was half-built. Hector K. Washington National System of Interstate and Defence Highways was being built to connect the entire nation with the best roads in the world.

Technology was improving. The fight against communists was going head-on. CIA was working to ensure no extremist governments take power in the Middle East. The first large-scale child vaccination programme against polio was started in the US. Hector invested in Walt Disney Company, taking away their 10% stake as soon as he heard about plans for Disneyland.

The US started training Vietnamese troops due to the threat rising from China and the USSR. The Cold War was an ongoing conflict. Thankfully, the Soviets were yet to develop a nuclear weapon, they were in the middle of it, however. The CIA was efficient in hampering their efforts by killing or kidnapping major scientists.

And all this led to a crisis in Korea. He sat in his oval office, Roosevelt was the special advisor to the President, Kennedy was the Vice President, he was selected for this position because Hector wanted someone reliable and loyal when he'd be out of the nation. There was also Logan, still the chief security officer of the President, and good boy Moony, the first good boy of America.

"I need to head out. If I don't put the situation under control, the entire Korean peninsula will fall to communism, then it will spread like a disease. We don't want this, right? Not after so many men died in the world war liberating it." Hector said, bringing out a few documents proving the Soviets and Chinese were supporting the Kim family.

Roosevelt sighed, "To be honest, if you were to announce today that the US is going to war, millions of boys will jump to join the army. You have a cult following at this point."

"A cult that includes every American," Kennedy added.

He laughed, "Haha, oh come on. My policies have benefited everyone, whether they're from south, north, east or west America. It's not a cult, they just know where prosperity is at. However, I won't be thrusting our boys into this war." He stood up, walking to the Grand General uniform that rested in a glass case.

"I will be fighting this war on my own, all alone. I will only need American troops from the Japanese, Indian and Pakistani bases to provide background support, such as holding the lines. I will sweep Korea from south to north, destroying all communist scum in my way." He sounded dangerous.

No one in the room doubted that he could do it. Nobody in the country had any doubt, the man had survived 3,400 assassination attempts, sometimes the bullet even touched his head.

Roosevelt sighed, "If that's what you want, who am I to say no to the legendary President. I will gather the folks from Congress."

Hector opened the glass case of his uniform, dropped his blazer and donned the big red coat, "Thank you, my friend. Moony, get ready, and Logan... God damn, stop bloody smoking in my office, I am officially against tobacco. I don't care if your lungs are indestructible."

Logan grunted and quenched the cigar, "Fine fine, tsk.... you are becoming more grumpy as you age... I will get my suit."

...

Howard Stark was one of the richest and most important men in the United States. He was the greatest inventor of the time, developing many weapons that could change the face of the war. But he was dissatisfied with the White House. Although his weapons were sold at a high pace, they were not being used much. Meaning, no sale of bullets.

He didn't bring the matter up with anybody since there was no war going on. However, things got out of hand according to him when the President announced that the Korean War is happening, but only he will be fighting.

The war was when Stark Industries made the most money. The policies of the President were hurting the entire military-industrial complex. But before he could talk, the President was gone as soon as the UN passed a resolution to intervene. With a million soldiers, 500 ANY-1 3rd generation helicopters and a lot of rations.

"Did you see this, Peggy? How is he going to fight without letting soldiers fire their guns?" Howard asked his longtime friend.

Peggy Carter was the director of SHIELD, an organisation that deals with threats that are beyond the common comprehension of any agency. Be it aliens, mutants or occult. She helped bring down the Council of Nine. Hector now owns Roxxon Energy Corporation, an American multinational oil and gas corporation headquartered at the One Roxxon Plaza in Manhattan, New York City.

It was one of the largest fuel conglomerates in the world. The Corporation generates millions of dollars in profits each year by refining and manufacturing products related to oil through its many holdings.

It was originally a very scummy company, but with Hector, it turned out well. With his KingTech company acting as the parent company, all kinds of innovations his mad scientists came up with were incorporated in it.

Peggy frowned, "Stark, have you gone mad? Do you want our soldiers to use weapons that can kill them? You actively are searching for conflicts to make money? Mister President calls each and every American his son and daughter, and of course, he will try his best not to let them be harmed."

Howard scoffed, "How old is he anyway? 85? The first president to be this old. He should honestly retire, how long will that super soldier juice even last?"

Peggy glared at him, "You have no idea how much he works to keep this world at peace. You have turned into one of those scummy capitalists, it seems. I am certainly disappointed."

Saying that, she left for work. She only met him weekly to talk about new inventions and some SHIELD problems, but each day Howard was turning into someone she didn't want to see.

"You saw that, Jarvis? How am I the bad guy? I just want to make some money. This is strictly business," Howard waved his arms and sipped on his drink.

Jarvis stayed silent, as he too had the same thoughts as Peggy.

...

Korea, Busan,

It was a fact that if Hector was present, he would be the highest military authority anywhere. A lot of officers and generals saw him once again in the iconic red coat and felt their blood rush.

Korea was divided into South and North currently. The North was communist and the South was not. Rhee Syng-man was the founder of the Republic of Korea and didn't want to give up the democratic nation, so he fought alongside the top commander of Korean troops.

But then, a shocking announcement came from Hector. "All officers, you are strictly prohibited from advancing into enemy territory. Your only job right now is to hold the line as I push into enemy territory while destroying them. I don't want any senseless deaths on our side. Understood?"

"YES, SIR!" they all saluted firmly. The Korean generals and soldiers were confused about what this even meant as they were not present during WW2 to see him in action.

Soon enough, they learnt everything. Hector, Logan in his Wolverine yellow suit, and Moony tippy-toeing ran into enemy lines. Moments later, screams and blasts started to resound. Fire and smoke covered the sky. No amount of weapons or traps could stop the three. Hector even called his Skull Knight H.

Even the Soviet Jets that were disguised as North Koreans didn't get away and got struck by rockets that were thrown by Hector by hand.

*BOOM*

It was hell on Earth. As per the order, the American, UN and Korean troops had created a horizontal line across the Korean Peninsula. They were to shoot down any North Korean soldier running towards them.

It did happen, step by step they advanced deeper while Hector ran around, drove his bike and sometimes took a lift from the helicopters. He would drop right in the middle of enemy camps and bases and destroy them. The Communists couldn't do anything other than run. Their worst nightmare was the loud shout of Hector in the middle of the night, "COMMUNIST SCUMS! PREPARE TO DIE!"

If they ran south, death awaited them, so the only way was north. In a heavily recorded and televised campaign that lasted 60 days, all North Korean soldiers and communist supporters were pushed into China. After that, the UN troops secured the entire Korean peninsula.

However, there was still a heavy troop buildup on the Chinese side across the river. They will surely attack back the moment they find an opportunity. General MacArthur, who was still the Supreme Commander in Japan, had come to command American troops here.

"I say, drop some nukes on these commie bastards, Mister President," he suggested.

A good idea, but also a bad idea, "If I do this, I will be setting an example that dropping nukes is normal. USSR is not far away from making its own nukes. I don't want them to also drop these everywhere. Once they make their weapons, the UN will be passing a new treaty to not use nuclear weapons on any nation and to only keep it as a deterrent.

"However, in order to stop any land invasion from China into Korea for decades to come, I think I will have to use something Nuclear."

He walked to the side and called a soldier with communication equipment. He rang the American command in Japan, "Yes, load the barrels of Radioactive tar. Bring them here carefully,"

MacArthur's eyes widened, this was no less than using a nuclear bomb, only this one won't make noise, fire or smoke.

[A/N: These few chapters will be fast-paced to show how he's changing the world. When it reaches the 80s, he will be going into space with a few canon characters and bringing FREEDOM.
