Chapter 110 | When the war is over.

Extra Chapter

...

The aftermath of the end of the war gradually subsided, and during this time, many significant events happened that were enough to go down in history.

For example, the Yalta Conference.

The four countries held a summit meeting at Livadia Palace to discuss the formulation of a new post-war world order and the distribution of interests.

In layman's terms, it means dividing the big cake.

It was worth mentioning that seeing Berlin create the Aryan Supermen to recover its disadvantages, the Asian side of the Axis Powers also started a related project. They received a portion of Wöden's Blood from General Sankt as research material and worked overtime to expand their technology, and finally succeeded in producing thirty-one 'tank-classes.'

The freshly baked, newly created 'Nihon Supermen' was torn clean by a group of mysterious people before they could cross the Pacific battlefield and beat the Allied forces.

After investigation, the other party claimed to be a member of S.P.E.A.R.

As a result, the Yalta Conference included one more participating country.

Soon after, two atomic bombs were dropped on the still restless Japan.

The bomb, codenamed 'The Little Boy,' bombed Hiroshima.

The second bomb, codenamed 'The Fat Man,' bombed Nagasaki.

The mushroom cloud that rose with a colossal boom forever became a nightmare for Japanese people.

After their representatives signed the unconditional surrender letter on the deck of the USS Missouri, the worldwide war finally officially came to an end.

The smoke has cleared, and peace has come.

As a rising star of this era, Luke has witnessed the changing situation and historical innovations.

He first appeared among the Yalta Four as the hero who ended the war and posed for pictures with the heads of state.

The atmosphere was delicate and tense at that critical meeting on the reshuffling of dynamics of the world.

The Soviet Union's representative looked at Luke with intense vigilance.

Who knows if this Superman will suddenly fall from the sky and smash through the Kremlin.

The representative made up his mind to vigorously develop the nuclear industry when he returned to cope with possible threats.

As for the British Prime Minister, he smiled and greeted Luke with a box of high-grade cigars from his collection.

He also said that the US was stingy with the actual reward for the true heroes, which disgusted the tired-looking Roosevelt a lot.

Later, after the meeting, the President, who is suffering from cardiovascular disease, explained that he hoped Luke would understand the military's decision.

To sum up, it was to write a lot of bad checks in an attempt to dispel each other's dissatisfaction -- it's a pity that the President didn't know that he didn't have long to live.

Before the end of the war, he should have died of a cerebral hemorrhage, leaving earlier than the Führer who was ready to shoot himself.

Maybe it was the butterfly wings flapping a few times that made The President forcibly continue for a few more months.

"Brigadier General Cavill, when I get back to Washington, D.C., I will grant you the rank of Major General immediately. "

The President held on to his spirit and soothed Luke's emotions.

From the White House down to the military, including Colonel Phillips.

No one believed that the young Brigadier General didn't care about being excluded and was willing to lead the Strategic Science Reserve.

If he had set foot in the Department of Defense, he would have become the youngest official General in the history of the United States in the blink of an eye.

Luke is also helpless about this.

'I have shown a sincere attitude, but why don't you believe me?'

Later, even Rogers came to comfort Luke, telling him not to care too much about status and power.

In any case, the greatest hero of the Allies was always Superman.

No one could question this!

'The reputation points have gone up again. It seems that this wave of publicity is beneficial. "

After giving the President a few perfunctory words, Luke returned to his room.

With the help from Colonel Philips, his name spread quickly -- Although most of them were accompanied by some bizarre or sappy stories.

Luke did have some resistance at first, but it was Superman; he had to save face.

However, after seeing the sharply rising reputation points, he can only say one thing--

This is nice!

In the days that followed, it was a tug-of-war between countries, each trying to get a more significant piece of the cake.

The Soviet Union said: If I hadn't succeeded in preserving Moscow and crushing the Third Reich's myth of invincibility, you would have surrendered like France.

Britain said: I launched a counter-offensive in El Alamein to turn the tide in the North African war. I made outstanding contributions.

The United States said: We have Superman.

The others: ...

Then the meeting fell into a brief silence, the Soviet Union and Britain skipped this topic with tacit understanding.

Luke saw all of this.

Unconsciously, he became a powerful weapon comparable to the atomic bomb, with a pivotal strategic position.

Unfortunately, he isn't interested in being the Dr. Manhattan of the Marvel Universe and helping the Bald Eagle conquer the world.

After the Yalta Conference, Luke went to London first to reorganize the Strategic Science Reserve.

After seeing S.P.E.A.R, Hydra, and other organizations, the United States urgently needed to set up a similar official organization.

The Strategic Science Reserve that gathered the elites of the free world is naturally the first choice.

During this period, there were also several unpleasantness. The Allies were able to maintain a superficial harmony while fighting against the evil Axis.

But after the war, the surging undercurrent began to surface.

No one wanted to see each other grow and surpass themselves.

The Strategic Science Reserve not only had all kinds of talents but also accepted the remnants of Hydra.

For example, Dr. Zola and related researchers were excellent resources.

There was also the Tesseract collected from Hydra's headquarters, which was a precious treasure.

Britain didn't want to sit back and watch Luke take them away and tried to interfere.

However, the Prime Minister stopped such a move, feeling that there was no need to offend Superman over such a trivial matter.

After all, the other party is a powerful individual who could pose a threat to the country.

'So, in the absence of external pressure, humans have an innate talent for killing each other and internally devouring themselves. '

Luke sighed silently.

He was currently sitting in the Oval Office of the White House, waiting for a meeting with the President.

Today was the award ceremony.

A Major general rank.

Leader of the Strategic Science Reserve.

This was how the United States rewarded Luke.

From a third-class soldier to a Major General, it looked like no one would be able to surpass his promotion speed.

As history would have it, Roosevelt had a sudden brain hemorrhage a few days earlier and passed away.

The new President, Harry S. Truman, took over.

"Major General Cavill, it would be a waste of your talents to lead the Strategic Science Reserve temporarily. "

The new President pushed his glasses and smiled, "It's just that the decision that has been made couldn't be changed. I hope you can understand. "

"I would like to stay in the Strategic Science Reserve. The work here suits me better. "

Luke was smiling and spoke with a calm voice.

This was the truth.

He expressed satisfaction with the Strategic Science Reserve in the developing stage, but the future S.H.I.E.L.D. A colossal institution directly under the jurisdiction of the World Security Council.

Luke remembered the one-eyed Director who assembled a group of superheroes and ignored the White House and the military.

Not only could he blatantly refuse to take phone calls from the President and ignore Senators, but he could also jump through the hoops from Congress and the White House to carry out cross-territorial law enforcement.

It could be said that the duties and powers of S.H.I.E.L.D. are entirely above all the intelligence departments in the United States, which isn't comparable to that of a mere Department of Defense.

Even if Luke becomes the top Executive of the Pentagon, he may not have the same glory as of the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the future!

"Major General Cavill, it's good that you think so. "

The new President was relieved, but the military's attitude towards Superman was a little more complicated.

Both wanted to win him over but fear that Luke's power would be too great to restrain in the future.

Fortunately, the young Major General didn't show any dissatisfaction.

"But I think the name Strategic Science Reserve is too much of a mouthful. Since it is necessary to restructure, it's better to change the name. "

Luke looked at the stunned new president and smiled, "I think S.H.I.E.L.D. is pretty good. "

In this way, Iron Man will no longer complain that he couldn't remember the name.
