Chapter 80 - 078 | The Axis Supermen
Luke shrugged his shoulders. He didn't know who the three supermen were.
The young General saw a reward item in the item column by habitually scrolling through the stats. ??
'Green Lantern Corpse Disc!'
The description was [A particular item developed by the Universe Guardians specifically for the Green Lantern Corps. After swallowing this disk, the user will temporarily possess the power of the Green Lantern].
'It's a disposable item, but it's better than nothing. '
Ignoring Rogers's anxious look, Luke sorted out his recent gains.
First of all, the reputation value is approaching eight million points.
In other words, it is enough to upgrade to LV2 (soldiers) and still have a slight surplus.
The second is his position in the Allied forces.
Hydra's base siege, stopping the Valkyrie project, and other remarkable achievements through the city's capture.
Had the war not ended, he might have returned to New York to receive his promotion to Major General.
A young general at the age of 20 is unprecedented in the United States' history and unprecedented in the future.
Luke reached this point, mainly because it was a time of war, and senior officers were promoted very quickly.
Moreover, the credit itself is indeed indisputable.
'In that case, the next plan will be…'
Although history has now shifted and the Axis powers have been forcibly continued, Luke felt that the Third Reich's desire to dominate Europe and rule the world was a beautiful illusion that was entirely impossible to realize.
As far as he knows, the U.S. military's 'Manhattan Project' has already been launched.
In addition to those responsible for Groves and Oppenheimer, Luke's acquaintance Howard Stark has quit the Strategic Science Reserve and been drafted to the Oak Ridge Institute.
It was not long before the world's first atomic bomb would explode in the desert of New Mexico.
Then, a successful test explosion at Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Ocean.
No matter the Axis's Supermen, it was impossible to withstand nuclear weapons' power —— the other party is not a 'Superman' in the real sense.
Even the current Luke would find it hard to stand against a nuclear weapon.
He still remembered the Superman in the movie, who was almost evaporated into a dry corpse by radiation.
'It is better to bask in the sun for a while. '
Luke thought so.
The trajectory of history is complicated for individuals to change, and the top brass of the Allies are in a state of panic because no one could see the future.
They are worried that if the Axis Powers recovered, the war would last for an unknown period.
This is the biggest problem!
How much human resources and material resources does it take to support a world-scale war?
How can the Allies be willing to be dragged into the quagmire again when victory is imminent?
'So, this is another chance to gain reputation?'
After so many TV and film productions in his previous life, Luke remained calm about the shocking news of the emergence of some Supermen in the Axis countries.
After all, what has he not seen?
The Third Reich made zombie legions and beat the whole world …
Führer discovers alien civilization, happily promotes advanced technology to win World War II …
The United States was miserably divided by Germany and Japan and became a colony under the joint rule …
Similar film and television works, nothing new.
'At this thought, the Captain from the Axis powers. The Aryan Superman is usual. '
Luke let out a long sigh, quietly waiting to be summoned by Churchill.
It should be interesting to think of the British Prime Minister slapping his desk and shouting, "Go get the Allied Superman."
…
…
A black limousine drove through London's Trafalgar Square, past Whitehall Street, Westminster Abbey, King Charles Street, and finally stopped at an unnoticed street corner.
There's a hole with sacks around like a bunker.
Going all the way down—a solid and thick underground fortress.
"I didn't expect His Excellency, the Prime Minister, to stay in such a place. "
Luke raised an eyebrow and seemed a little surprised.
He thought that this meeting should be arranged in the Prime Minister's Office or the Parliament Hall.
"A week before the outbreak of war, the Prime Minister opened these 'Cabinet War Rooms.' "
Carter, who walked ahead, explained.
"Every day, the Prime Minister enters from an office building across the Foreign Ministry street to direct military operations. "
This female agent is British, and she knows a lot about the intelligence services and the War Cabinet's various actions.
Luke nodded his head and walked into the underground fortress called 'Cabinet War Rooms.' The first thing that caught his eye was the 'Map Room' —— a crowded room with maps of various war zones all around its walls.
There were more than ten colorful telephones on the table. Carter explained that each color represents a different level.
The ivory-colored phone on the right-hand side leads directly to Churchill's office.
"The Prime Minister's office is over here. "
Carter led Luke forward in a graceful manner, and the telephone bell kept ringing along the way, and the receiver kept working, just like a stock brokerage company on Wall Street.
'It seems that there is indeed a huge crisis at the front lines that's difficult to cope with.'
Luke thought to himself.
After reporting their names and identities, they entered the conference room.
When he opened the door, a pungent smell of tobacco came over him, almost suffocating him.
Luke was able to withdraw his over-sensitive senses in time to avoid being smothered to death.
"General Cavill! Although I heard you were young, I'm still shocked at your age when I set eyes on you!"
Churchill put down the cigar in his hand and reached over, a smile appearing on his slightly sullen face.
He is a smoker, loves to smoke cigars; it rarely leaves his hand.
"Prime Minister, I heard about what happened in Berlin. "
Luke shook hands with the big man, one of the 'Big Three of the Yalta Conference,' and then sat down to exchange pleasantries before getting straight to the point.
"We don't know the specific situation for the time being! The only information that can be confirmed so far is that the Soviet Union collapsed, nearly 100,000 people were taken as prisoners. The plan to conquer Berlin was temporarily blocked and put on hold. "
The Prime Minister exhaled a puff of smoke, those narrowed eyes stared at Luke and asked in a deep voice, "Now, you're the only hope for the Allies, General Cavill!"
