White House
Howard's eyes were as wide as bells, with a look of shock on his face.
"Is your guess a little too bold?"
Howard's brows knit together tightly, as if in disbelief.
"Use your brain. If you were Kang the Conqueror, what would you choose?"
Luke swung the whiskey in his glass and smiled: "Is it a hiding place that everyone can guess, or is it the most unexpected place?"
"Well… "
Howard pondered for a moment, pursed his lips, and thought seriously.
It seems to make sense!
He then agreed with Luke.
Lieutenant General Superman's guess is not completely impossible.
Logically, it makes sense.
Kang the Conqueror likes to put on a vest with high enough status and powerful enough to cause trouble.
Therefore, everyone subconsciously thought that they would choose the Soviet Union.
The opposing camps have enough military strength to compete, far away from the three major sanctuaries and the cold place of Superman.
This is simply the perfect place to stay!
After the end of World War II, the biggest winners were the rapid rise of the Soviet Union and the United States, which gradually grew into recognized superpowers.
The red brown bear that dominates the Siberian plains, and the bald eagle that always wants to dominate the world.
The tension between the two sides and the Cold War atmosphere of not dealing with each other have already emerged.
Therefore, if we talk about the person in power sitting in the Kremlin, it is very likely that he was the first choice of Kang the Conqueror.
So why can’t Mr. President in the White House be the second choice
"But we went to the president's house not long ago. Did you notice anything unusual?"
Howard asked in a deep voice.
He thought it was a secret investigation of the White House, but he didn't expect that the truth and characters involved would become more and more shocking.
"This is where I feel hesitant. Logically speaking, Kang the Conqueror's high-tech equipment cannot be hidden from Superman's senses, but I didn't notice anything wrong at the time."
Luke's tone hesitated for a moment, then returned to firmness.
"But this does not clear the president's suspicion. Chief of Staff John Stillman only started contacting the Vampire Council when we went to Paris."
"So it is possible that Kang the Conqueror held Mr. President hostage during this period and put on his... vest."
When Howard heard this, his expression was solemn, like a heavy lead weight.
If he continued to deduce it, the seriousness of this matter was already beyond his imagination.
If all this is true, Luke's guess is the correct answer.
Then the start of the Third World War may no longer be a worry or joke for historians.
You must know that the nuclear button of the United States is in the hands of the president, and he can make bad decisions that destroy the world at any time.
Howard once heard that every president "inherited" a black suitcase when he handed over power.
It weighs about eighteen kilograms and has a strong combination lock.
The surface is a titanium shell specially manufactured by Zero-Haliburton Company, which is bulletproof, anti-fall, and anti-collision—preventing all accidents and of high quality.
There are usually five special bodyguards who take turns guarding the president 24 hours a day. They will not leave the president even if he goes to the toilet, and they have the right to kill any suspicious person on the spot without warning in advance.
Under heavy protection, except for the president himself, almost no one can access the suitcase at will.
"Don't be so nervous, Howard, we haven't reached that point yet."
Luke calmed the other party's emotions, launched nuclear weapons, and opened a new copy of the global wasteland. This situation should not happen.
Kang the Conqueror is the kind of strategy player who prefers to develop quietly, then change history and conquer the world.
"Who can guarantee that that boring guy who travels through time will not be a heart-rending lunatic!"
Howard covered his forehead and said anxiously.
He is an arms dealer and is not averse to war.
But there is not the slightest interest in the terrible disaster of world destruction.
From Luke's mouth, we can learn that the bastard who calls himself the Conqueror, his biggest hobby is to mess with one timeline and then go to the next one.
For him, a devastated world may be far more interesting than a normal and peaceful world.
"I've seen that suitcase, but there's actually no real nuclear button in it. Starting a nuclear war is not a simple game that can be done by just pressing a gadget."
A smile appeared on Luke's lips. The so-called "nuclear button" did not mean that when pressed, the nuclear bomb would rise into the sky and the mushroom cloud would bloom.
If it is really that simple, then who can guarantee that the person sitting in the president's seat will not be a war madman
It is definitely not the behavior of a wise man to tie the security of the world to an individual.
"Then what is it?"
Howard asked curiously.
The legendary nuclear weapon suitcase itself has a layer of mystery.
"Four documents."
Luke said concisely.
“One is to record the number, deployment locations, and planned launch routes of the United States’ nuclear weapons.”
"The second is a confidential list. If war breaks out and the situation is urgent, the location of the secret base that can be used by the president."
"The third is a wartime radio program. Once the homeland is bombed, a speech can be launched to the whole country."
"The last one is an authentication serial number, used to confirm the president's personal instructions."
"In addition, it also contains a secure and confidential private phone - a customized model produced by Skynet, which can directly connect to the Pentagon's nuclear warfare center and various Air Force headquarters."
Luke revealed the highest-level secrets of the White House like a treasure trove.
Howard was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He almost thought that Lieutenant General Superman had been the president. Otherwise, how could he know everything about it
"You, where did your news come from?"
He held it in for a few seconds and couldn't help but ask.
"The suitcase is usually kept in the basement of the East Room of the White House. Because the president must be carried by his entourage when he goes out, I was very curious at the time, so I read through the contents."
Luke shrugged and replied calmly.
The titanium shell cannot block Superman's sight.
"This is indeed you."
Howard gave a thumbs up and tightened his clothes as if he was worried about being exposed.
"Only you would use this ability to look at other people's a**."
Seeing this action, Luke showed disgust.
"Then what are you going to do next?"
Howard coughed twice and changed the subject to cover up his embarrassment.
"Not ready yet."
Luke actually wanted to fly directly to the White House, kick open the door, and punch the president who was sitting in his seat to death.
According to his creed, as long as you are 60% sure about something, you can just go ahead and do it regardless of the consequences.
"Before that, I need to confirm the president's identity."
Luke raised his eyebrows and said softly: "But I also think that Kang the Conqueror will probably guess this and be prepared to deal with it."
"So, I plan to make things a little more complicated and play this game with him."
Howard scratched his hair. As far as force was concerned, he was very confident in Lieutenant General Superman.
Aryan Superman, Namor, Sebastian Shaw... These people have proven Luke's strength with their own miserable ends.
However, this time his opponent is a stowaway from the future who travels through time and space.
If you are not careful enough, you may encounter a rollover situation.
"I tell you these things to prevent yourself from having an accident."
Luke's eyelids were drooped, making it difficult to tell what he was really thinking.
"Don't tell anyone, especially Peggy. She won't be able to help. She'll only add to your worries."
Howard nodded, understanding.
Most of the time, he appears to be untrustworthy.
But occasionally, it becomes very reliable.
"The first step in this game starts with Nick Fury."
Luke put down his glass, already thinking of the right person for the mission.
"The new agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. exposes the dirty collusion between the White House senior officials and the Vampire Council. This will be big news that people will talk about." (End of Chapter)
