Chapter 35

"This is an unprecedented supreme glory!"

Colonel Phillips seemed more excited than Luke himself. His old face was smiling and full of pride and pride.

Twenty years old, rank as a general!

What kind of promotion speed is this!?

Luke will not only be recorded in history as a war hero in the future, but may also have the title of "the youngest general in American history".

"You have created an unexpected surprise for me and everyone!"

Colonel Phillips sighed.

Generally speaking, being promoted to a general at the age of 30 can be said to be young, promising and promising.

People like Douglas MacArthur and Dwight Eisenhower, the famous generals in American history, didn't sit in that position until they were in their forties.

The former is regarded as a legend of a generation.

The latter retired, served as president and successfully entered the White House.

It is conceivable that Luke, the brigadier general, has a great future!

Many people regard Luke as a rising star.

Of course, some people think that the so-called "Superman" is just the second American captain and the new military mascot.

"Would the Allied Command agree?"

Luke was also surprised.

If it had not been for the war and the urgent need for a star, and his own credit was blameless, it would definitely be considered the biggest black curtain in the history of the military!

The Allies had a heated discussion on this, but in the end they couldn't resist the firm position of the government of the kingdom of Italy!

After all, it is related to a country's reputation!

Later, when talking about this matter, people will first think of how incompetent the Italian army was, and even let a mere allied captain with his team break through the city of Rome with a large number of garrisons!

In order to save its own little reputation, the royal government of Italy even shamelessly said that if the Allies did not give a reasonable reward to the war heroes, they would choose to unilaterally grant Luke Carville the rank of Army General!

The two sides kept arguing. The Allied Command, forced by Italy's strong request and rogue posture, could only hold its nose to affirm Luke's credit.

Promote a soldier who is only 20 years old and has been in the army for less than two months to the position of brigadier general.

The compromise and concession of the Allies finally brought the storm behind the scenes to an end.

"In fact, the Italians are not satisfied. They are greedy and even want you to sit directly on the Marshal's throne. Only in this way can you have more face."

Colonel Phillips whispered with a hint of irony.

It's ridiculous to promote a young man under the age of 20 to five-star general and field marshal in order to give Italian face!

They are the surrender party, not the winner!

"It's very cold up there, Colonel. Thank the president for his kindness."

Luke didn't say much. The harvest was an unexpected joy.

If the foundation is not solid enough and the qualifications are not deep enough, it is futile to sit in a higher position.

"Mussolini, I will give it to Italy. As for the credit for the capture of Rome and the occupation of Sicily, I will give it to Dwight Eisenhower. I remember that he was the supreme commander of the Allied forces in Europe, which can be regarded as a good marriage!"

Luke spoke in an orderly way, obviously not dazzled by the sudden honor.

Colonel Phillips nodded with appreciation. Eisenhower is now at the height of his popularity within the military.

In particular, he led 100000 British and American allied troops to land in the French North African colony in three ways.

Under the cover of a strong air force, they occupied Algiers, Oran and Casablanca, Morocco.

Then it advanced westward, forming a trend of East-West attack on the German Italian coalition forces retreating into Tunisia.

Eisenhower's command put the German and Italian troops in a dilemma. In the end, all 250000 people surrendered, which can be called a surprising victory.

This huge victory alleviated the setbacks encountered by the allies in the battlefield in Eastern Europe and once again put the axis countries at a disadvantage.

"General Dwight will remember your kindness. In fact, he himself appreciates you."

Colonel Phillips could not help admiring Luke's eyes.

What he lacks now is the foundation and the support behind it.

Eisenhower, with his growing popularity, is undoubtedly a suitable ally.

Luke smiled. He remembered that it was Eisenhower who attacked Sicily in the original history.

Before long, he was awarded the honorary rank of five-star general by the allies!

Even later, Eisenhower participated in the presidential election and was re elected for two terms. He can be said to be an excellent militarist and politician.

After the chat with colonel Phillips, Luke came to the terrace of Venice palace alone.

The cold night wind blows, the stars are dotted in the night sky, and the silver glow of the bright moon falls on the earth.

"Why are you hiding here alone?"

Carter, dressed in a red evening dress, was graceful and close to Luke, who was meditating alone.

"It's a little noisy inside. I want to be quiet for a while. What's more, I don't want to be drunk anymore."

Luke leaned against the balcony and said with a smile.

Under the noisy night sky, the couple began to chat.

"Miss Carter, do you know what Steve is doing?"

Luke thought of Captain America. At this time, the other party should still sell bonds on the stage and travel all over the world.

"I made movies, performed with the senator, and recently published personal comics. Rogers is much more popular than you!"

Carter chuckled.

She seemed to remember that Luke and Rogers had the best relationship at the Caspian training camp.

Later, they became super soldiers together, but the outcome was very different.

"About three days later, the roaring commandos and I will leave for New York. At that time, I will suggest to the military that Steve be transferred to me."

Luke said to himself.

He has initially gained a certain degree of voice and is no longer a third-class soldier at the command of others.

The politicians on the committee are not qualified to support themselves!

"Then he will thank you very much."

Carter held his chest in his hands, and the conversation turned: "those Italian ladies look at you with enthusiasm, as if they want to eat you as dessert."

Luke in the banquet is the focus of attention. She can always hear women's comments on how to turn this war hero who liberated Italy into her guest of entry.

"I also have a deep understanding of this. Before, a beautiful lady stopped me in the corridor and said to thank me for liberating Italy and overthrowing the dictator... Then I had to visit her room."

Luke shrugged and said that the beautiful lady who was said to be a powerful daughter had soft lips and slippery tongue. Unfortunately, under some unspeakable pressure, he could only taste it and could not communicate in depth.

"It seems that you didn't go to her room. What's a pity?"

Carter frowned and became indifferent.

She could never associate the slightly frivolous young man in front of her with the legendary heroes of the allies.

"Of course. It's a pity for any man to refuse such an invitation."

Luke said frankly.

"Miss Carter, don't look at me with contempt. Even a war hero won't hate a beautiful girl who threw herself into her arms. It's human nature. You should admire my honesty, not treat me as a lecherous."

"Brigadier general Carville, you are more sophistic than the politicians on the Committee."

The female agent in a red dress said sarcastically.

"This is the art of language, Miss Carter. Many friends have suggested that a person who can speak like me should publish a book after the war, called --" it only takes two months from third class to general ". Note: the youngest general in America uses his own experience to teach you how to reach the peak of life! What do you think?"

Luke was like a grandiose prodigal, without the steadiness of the day, which attracted a burst of disgust from Carter.

"Well, the chat time is over. I have to visit... Miss Issa's room. Have a nice evening, Miss Carter."

Luke smiled as the atmosphere hardened.

He took the champagne in his hand and turned away.

Carter looked angry behind her, and the woman's intuition told her that this was not Luke's true face.

But why did he do that?
