Marvel’s Superman

The helicopter lifted off slowly, Luke put on his sunglasses, sat in the cockpit, and looked down at the shrinking White House.

He actually wanted to fly directly over, but considering the way he was too arrogant, he might be mistaken for an enemy attack by the Atlantic Fleet, causing unnecessary panic and choosing to give up.

Just think of it as the rest time after the 500-meter sprint.

The Major General thought so.

In the Oval Office just now, what the President and the Pentagon meant should be to make S.H.I.E.L.D. compromise temporarily and suspend the plan to contain mutants.

This will buy more time for the Pentagon to contact Atlantis.

Luke can see that both the White House and the military are very interested in learning about a marine civilization that has existed for tens of thousands of years.

It's like two hunters in a jungle, always looking at each other before shooting.

"The strength of Atlantis is much stronger than that of the Lighthouse Nation. It is unrealistic to expect them to be like the Indians."

Luke's mouth twitched, revealing a sarcastic smile.

When the Puritans arrived in the New World, they initially had the idea of ​​peaceful coexistence with the Indians.

But later, when a large number of immigrants arrived, the living space was squeezed, and the contradiction between the two sides exploded like a lit powder keg.

Today's Indians have long lost their land, national culture and religious beliefs.

For the top federal government, they want to repeat history.

Confirm whether Atlantis is hostile, and then confirm their technological level, whether it is backward or advanced.

This is related to the strategy adopted later, whether it is war or diplomacy.

Presidents and generals don't want to fight, not because they are all pacifists.

Rather, there is little benefit from rashly opening the war.

"But what does this have to do with me?"

Luke didn't want to take care of the big picture, and he didn't have to make sacrifices for the White House and the military.

Mutants are a good card that will play a big role in the future.

There is no reason for Namor to warn him casually, and he must obey the order honestly.

No matter how powerful Atlantis is, can it be compared to the future overlord of the universe, the three major empires of the Milky Way?

"It's kind of like two kids grabbing toys from each other."

Aware of the uneasy feeling in his heart, Luke laughed at himself.

He knew that the Pentagon was not calling the White House to ask the president for a solution.

The real purpose of the guys in the Admiralty is to put pressure on themselves.

Or to be more precise, want to see Superman jokes.

How should a powerful army major general face the threats and warnings of an unknown civilization?

If you are too tough, you will bear the main responsibility that may provoke a war.

Being too weak is equivalent to losing the dignity of the country, and it will cast a shadow over the dazzling halo of Superman's repeated triumphs and miracles.

This is a tough choice.

"Unfortunately, only children make choices..."

Luke smiled, took out a first-generation product introduced by Skynet, a brick-sized mobile phone, and dialed a number.

This thing has not been put on the market for the time being. It is only used as a military product and is provided to various military bases and government agencies. Civilianization will probably have to be delayed for a while.

However, the propaganda work of Stark Industries is already in full swing.

Howard learns at an astonishing speed, absorbing business ideas such as "conceptualized hype" and "market warm-up" that Luke usually refers to.

The mobile phone, which is actually not high in technology, is touted as "the only item that changes the way of communication in the future", "the first choice for families with a car", "a must-have for people with advanced technology"... Such advertisements are overwhelming and bombarded continuously. .

Completely packaged this stupid, dark and rough mobile phone into a high-end product that only successful people and elites can afford, as if if you own it, you can greatly improve your status.

It has to be said that the means of hype gimmicks and false packaging are very useful in any age.

Luke is considering whether to continue his efforts and come up with some kind of "hunger marketing", "navy evaluation" and so on.

Directly turn the mobile phone produced by Skynet into the light of domestic products and high-tech cutting-edge products.

"I must have picked the wrong script."

Mr. Major General shook his head, restrained his divergent thinking, and said to Colonel Phillips on the other end of the phone: "I'm about to go to the Second Atlantic Fleet. Are you familiar with General Ingenham?"

"Know? That's the best. Help me tell him that I need temporary command of the Second Fleet,"

"There's still a meeting over there at the White House, so there's no time to order. You give Nimitz a call and ask him to do him a favor."

"Although the relationship between the Ministry of the Navy and the Ministry of the Army has always been bad, but everyone is acquaintances, there is no need to make it embarrassing."

"..."

After a few minutes, Luke hung up.

Before searching for Wolverine, MacArthur, who was the emperor of Neon Island, gave generous support.

Now it's time to ask for the temporary command of the Second Fleet. I wonder if Chester-Nimitz will give face.

The other party is now the Chief of Naval Operations, and the Atlantic Fleet participated in the Sicily landing campaign. At that time, Luke had a relationship with him.

Later, when they returned to New York, the two also attended a recognition banquet together.

"The Navy... It's a pity that the current president is not Roosevelt. He is more interested in nuclear weapons."

Luke thought silently.

The United States is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. It is a traditional maritime power.

This is why, in the future, the navy has a special status and can become the first branch of the military.

At the end of the 19th century, the American naval theorist Mahan proposed the "Sea Power Theory", advocating the establishment of a naval ocean-going fleet and mastery of the sea.

Then split mines, build overseas bases, and seize world hegemony.

This strategy has been widely recognized, and since then, the Navy has begun to build battleships of more than 10,000 tons, entering an unprecedented acceleration stage of development.

Especially when Roosevelt was in power, the main force was to build a "first-class naval fleet" and put forward the amazing goal of catching up with Britain and striving to be the world's number one.

A few years later, the Atlantic Fleet was formally established, and it has experienced two world wars.

At its peak, it had 1.5 million troops, nearly 20,000 ships, and more than 10,000 aircraft.

"That's why it's no wonder that the gang of people in the Ministry of the Army are eccentric all day long. To put it bluntly, they are just Lemons. After all, no one is so beautiful."

Luke remembered that every time there was a meeting, many generals from the two factions of the Pentagon were fighting each other.

It's just that the former discusses national interests and military strategy, while the latter is about collecting protection fees and dividing blocks.

"Speaking of which, I am now an army faction. Nimitz really doesn't necessarily give face."

Luke crossed his fingers, thinking that if the Atlantic Fleet didn't cooperate, the plan would have to change a little.

At the end of World War II, when the Neon Island country surrendered.

President Truman wanted MacArthur, who was the commander of the army, to preside over the surrender ceremony and sign it as a representative of the Confederate powers.

This proposal immediately aroused strong dissatisfaction with the navy leader, Nimitz, who even publicly stated that he refused to attend.

The fierce and obvious opposition forced the president to withdraw the proposal, and came forward to comfort, and later put the signing ceremony on the warship.

After that time, the U.S. land and sea power struggle has basically been made public.

The high-ranking generals of both factions disliked each other.

"The S.H.I.E.L.D. led by Major General of the Army provoked Atlantis and caused the loss of two aircraft carriers of the Navy."

Luke pondered for a while, and it is estimated that many bigwigs in the Admiralty want to see themselves shriveled.

"But I'm obviously not involved, just an innocent eater of melons."

The future positioning of S.H.I.E.L.D. is to maintain world peace and a large organization responsible for contact and communication with extraterrestrial civilizations.

It doesn't belong to the naval faction at all, or the army faction.

"What does the two gangs of red deer have to do with my SHIELD Director?"

Luke pouted, thinking that he could take this opportunity to separate S.H.I.E.L.D. from the Pentagon, so as not to be pulled back and forth and forced to stand in line later.

"General, we have arrived at the Second Fleet."

Hearing the pilot's reminder, Luke looked up, and the aircraft carrier of the Second Fleet was quietly crawling on the sea.
