"Go back to the Pentagon."
Walking out of the Army Club, Luke got into the black limousine parked at the door.
He couldn't help but smile as he thought about what he said to deceive Rogers just now.
How can SHIELD not have Captain America
Form an Avengers cheerleading team before Nick Fury does.
Then cheering yourself up and cheering seems to be a very interesting thing.
If the two armies faced each other in the future, the Chitauri fleet would be lined up.
Seeing that Thanos, the director of the Universal Family Planning Commission, had a large number of people, the scene was huge.
When I got here, I was alone.
Isn’t it very unattractive!
Therefore, recruiting troops and buying horses is imperative.
In addition to Captain America, who is considering retiring, Luke is also planning to bring in Howard to increase his number.
Coupled with Carter, who is a management talent, it can almost form a general framework.
Otherwise, SHIELD, which was just founded, would only have two or three big cats and kittens, which would be too desolate.
"General, we're here."
Hearing the driver's reminder, Luke opened his eyes as he sketched a blueprint for the future.
Through the lowered car window, he saw a huge building complex.
The black car entered through several layers of access control outside and came inside.
The Pentagon was established because after the outbreak of World War II, the Army Department was involved in the conflict, the staff expanded rapidly, and it was in urgent need of a centralized office space.
The Army Department at that time was scattered in places such as the National Mall, Maryland, and Virginia.
When there is a traffic jam or the railway is out of service, there are not enough people to hold a meeting.
After a heated discussion at the hearing, with Secretary of War Henry Stimson almost saying, "If you don't give me the money, I'll die out there," Congress reluctantly agreed to this reasonable request, and approved the construction of a building near the Potomac River. a piece of land.
Otherwise, those members of the budget committee may not really nod their heads.
For them, it doesn't matter if they are pointed in the nose and scolded by eighteen generations of their ancestors, but when it comes to money, don't blame everyone for turning their backs on each other.
Luke couldn't help but feel a little headache when he thought that SHIELD's funding had not yet been applied for.
He didn't want to imitate the rogue attitude of the Secretary of War who wanted money rather than his life. It would be embarrassing to tell him.
"It seems we still have to seize the opportunity to make money."
Luke Shiran stepped out of the car. His unusually young and unfamiliar face, as well as the epaulettes with two silver stars on his straight military uniform, immediately attracted the attention of many people.
This peculiar building with a pentagonal appearance was officially authorized and approved by Congress in 1941.
It was completed and put into use only the year before last, with a total investment of US$87 million.
Most of the staff who have access to the interior are mid- to senior-level officers of the Ministry of War and agencies of the Ministry of National Defense.
Many of them recognized Luke's identity, tried hard to resist the urge to step forward and ask for an autograph, and turned around to whisper.
It can be seen that even officers in the Pentagon have little resistance to the aura of celebrity.
Luke didn't look sideways, maintaining his aura as a boss and moving forward.
The first floor lobby of the Pentagon houses a bank, post office, bookstore, clinic, telegraph office, and various shops.
The second floor is called the "Golden Hall" because of the golden carpet in the office building, which is dedicated to various joint meetings.
Luke's office is on the third floor.
It is the office space of the Secretary of Defense and the Department of the Army. There is also the "Hall of Heroes" in the corner of the corridor to commemorate the recipients of the "Highest Medal of Honor" since the Revolutionary War.
There are more than 3,000 bronze medals hanging inside, with their names, place of origin and resumes engraved on them. They are all outstanding soldiers who made heroic sacrifices in the war.
Luke's own photos are hung in the "Memorial Corridor" with Marshall, Eisenhower, and MacArthur for public display.
"General, you are here."
Seeing Luke come in, the female secretary sitting outside the office quickly stood up.
"The guests you made an appointment with have arrived."
Seeing the beautiful female secretary with blond hair and graceful curves, Luke had to lament the corruption of capitalism.
That is to say, I am determined and not good at women.
Otherwise, if it had been anyone else, who would have been able to withstand this.
With the uniforms and military aircraft, it would be difficult not to follow Clinton's example and build a zipper door.
Luke cursed secretly, nodded with a smile, and pushed open the door to the side conference room.
Sitting inside was a short, middle-aged man who looked like a dwarf.
The other party stayed calmly in the chair, with a somewhat uneasy look on his face.
"Hello, General! I am Bolivar Teslaco."
Seeing Luke holding his head high and pushing the door open, Bolivar quickly jumped off his chair and greeted him respectfully.
Given his height, he had to raise his neck very hard to see the appearance of the young major general.
"I've kept you waiting, Mr. Teslak. Please take a seat."
Luke said with a gentle expression as he sat in the chair.
He looked at Bolivar without any trace. Although this man was short in stature and unspectacular, he was actually an intellectual giant.
Not only is he well-known in biogenetics, he has published many farsighted papers, especially regarding the mysterious answers to human DNA, and has put forward some incredible ideas.
Even in the Marvel world where genius scientists are worthless, they are still considered number one.
But for Luke, what interested him about Bolivar was the study of mutants.
This dwarf-like scientist would become the "Father of the Sentinels" in the future.
In a certain timeline, he almost wiped out mutants and the source of all evil for mankind.
"General Cavell, I wonder what you've found so valuable?"
Bolivar asked cautiously.
At this time, he had not yet founded Teslak Industries, let alone an internationally renowned weapons expert.
Therefore, when facing military celebrities and local war heroes, they will inevitably feel nervous and lack the confidence to speak.
"Mr. Teslak, I've read some of your papers, and they're quite interesting to be honest."
Luke crossed his fingers, put his elbows on the table, and said calmly: "Do you think there is some kind of magical code that opens the door to evolution in human genes? You even claimed that there might be someone more powerful than humans in this world. A powerful new race.”
"General, please listen to my explanation! I am definitely not a racist! I am definitely not a Nazi!"
For some reason, Bolivar turned pale with fright, and explained nervously: "I completely disagree with the Aryan superman theory of the Mustache Führer. Please don't get me wrong! I even donated money to the country during the war. Woolen cloth!"
Luke was stunned on the spot. Why did he scare the future "Father of the Sentinels" like this before he got to the point
Then, he thought about it and understood the reason.
These days, cutting-edge theories about human race and genetic research can easily be associated with the extreme racism of the Third Reich.
Presumably Bolivar has suffered such a big loss before, and suffered the consequences of being a thorn in the side.
"Don't be afraid, Mr. Teslak, I just want to talk to you about 'mutants'."
Luke waved his hand, signaling the other person to relax and stop being so nervous.
"I agree with your papers and opinions, that's why I invited you here."
This time it was Bolivar's turn to be stunned. He couldn't believe that a young and powerful major general would be interested in his research theory
"Major General Cavill, do you also know about mutants?"
the dwarf scientist asked cautiously.
"Of course, I not only know it, I've seen it with my own eyes."
Luke smiled slightly, the Hellfire Club was written down in his notebook, and he would have to settle accounts sooner or later. (End of chapter)
