Just as Colonel Phillips was about to give Allied Command the news, the noise outside reached the camp tent, where the atmosphere seemed to have dropped below the freezing point.

Faintly, one could hear the applause and cheers. ​​

"What happened?"

Philips walked out of the tent in exasperation, followed by Carter.

At the very front of the camp, the soldiers were standing in two lines.

Not far from the tree-lined path, two familiar figures appeared.

Luke and Rogers!

Superman, and Captain America!

A group of captured Allied soldiers followed them.

In the distance, giant tanks were coming toward them with a roar. It seemed to be the captured spoils.

"They're back!"

The soldiers were in high spirits and looked at the captured soldiers with energy guns in their hands and held their heads high with envious eyes.

They look like victors returning from a triumphant battle with pride and vigour.

"What's going on?"

Colonel Phillips, who walked out of the tent, asked in surprise.

Those captured soldiers not only returned safely but also brought back Hydra's secret weapon!

This was a huge victory!

The victory belongs to the Strategic Science Reserve!

"It must be Superman! He led everyone to defeat Hydra and saved those soldiers!"

A soldier guessed excitedly.

Others nodded.

The publicity of the Allied countries these days had already made Luke a well-known legendary figure.

Everyone who returned to the camp was treated heroically.

The eager guys have started to inquire what happened and how the captured soldiers escaped from Hydra.

Colonel Phillips, who lost his temper just now, came out to meet this team in person -- of course, he was mainly concerned about Luke's safety.

This 20-year-old Brigadier General is now a legendary figure in the Allied countries. It is also a typical propaganda model introduced by the military and is the inspiration of today's countless soldiers.

If Luke had an accident and died in the front line, it would cause great shock within the Allied forces.

Therefore, before he asked to go to the front line, many high-level officials disagreed.

Even President Roosevelt, who proposed to let Luke return to the battlefield, wanted the young Brigadier to stay in the rear as a propaganda tool to stabilize people's hearts.

Luke, who was only interested in building a solid foundation, accumulating qualifications and gaining reputation, would never have accepted this seemingly tempting proposal.

Thoroughly defeat Hydra and lead the Allies to absolute victory.

As long as it's done, no one could criticize his merits.

"You've done it again, Luke!"

Colonel Philips was thrilled to see Luke's triumphant return.

As for Rogers, he was intentionally or unintentionally ignored.

After all, the Allies only need one hero!

Just as in the eyes of the world, there will always be only one sun!

"Some people are injured, and they need medical attention. Also, Colonel, I was too reckless in this rescue operation. I will speak to Allied Command about this. "

Luke accepted the praise calmly.

After taking care of the four enhanced soldiers, he and Rogers went straight to Red Skull's command room.

In the end, Red Skull had already taken a plane and escaped with the Tesseract and Dr. Zola.

Besides, Hydra's base was about to explode, so they couldn't continue to pursue it.

Therefore, Luke only returned to camp with a group of captured soldiers and Rogers, who was depressed.

Those giant tanks and energy guns that were stolen from the military factory became their trophies.

"The President sitting in the White House wouldn't have expected to receive your news so soon!"

Colonel Philips had a smile on his face, completely missing his previous anger.

They destroyed Hydra's secret base with only two people, took out two military factories and 600 Nazi guards inside.

What a fantastic achievement!

Intuition told Colonel Phillips that Luke could do more than that.

When this war is over, he will receive even higher honours!

The youngest Major General in the history of the United States?

Maybe even an Admiral position?

For the first time, Philips felt that his imagination was relatively poor.

"This is a great victory for the Strategic Science Reserve! We'll celebrate with you later!"

Colonel Philips glanced at Carter beside him and said with a smile.

Luke is the highest officer in the camp in terms of rank and official position.

He has the authority to make any decision except to disobey a direct order from Allied Command.

However, the young Brigadier General didn't turn his back on people once he got his post and put on airs.

On the contrary, Luke keeps an approachable and cordial attitude towards his former friend Rogers and his former boss Colonel Phillips.

Reducing one's aggressiveness allows military bigwigs who were dissatisfied with themselves to relax their vigilance.

This is what he thought inside.

"Do you have something to say to me?"

Luke smiled when he saw Carter standing in front of him.

"Welcome back."

The usually cold female agent was silent for a long moment before saying this.
