Marvel's Superman

Chapter 186 - 183 The Other President's Daughter, A Patriotic Heart.

After successfully persuading the White Queen, Luke then focused on the peace summit attended by every country.

Naturally, the White House had no problem with it. ??

In this war of civilizations against Atlantis, both S.H.I.E.L.D and Superman fully demonstrated their abilities.

There was no doubt that this young star named Luke Cavill…

Since he pierced the sky with his dazzling light, it had become an important existence that no one could ignore.

According to the news from Colonel Phillips, the President recently began to beat about the bush and asked Major General Cavill if he had any idea of getting married or falling in love.

That's because he happened to have a young daughter of the same age.

Luke said he wasn't particularly interested in becoming the President's son-in-law.

If he wanted to choose, it wouldn't be Truman's turn.

There were five major political families widely recognized in the future of American politics.

They are Adams, Roosevelt, Kennedy, Bush, and Clinton.

Adams ranked first, flourished at the founding of the country.

Samuel Adams was known as a 'Founding Father,' and his cousin John Adams was one of the drafters of the Declaration of Independence.

Moreover, he served as the first Vice President and the second President.

His eldest brother's son won the election and became the sixth President.

It can be said that his family's education was profound.

Compared to Adams, Roosevelt wasn't bad either.

Many people only knew that Franklin D. Roosevelt was re-elected for four terms and brought his family to the pinnacle of power.

Few remember that Theodore Roosevelt took office as President in 1901, and the author of the famous 'speak softly, and carry a big stick' foreign policy.

Compared to the two above, Luke was more familiar with 'Kennedy,' who hadn't yet made his mark yet.

They were of Irish immigrant descent and had strong ties to the Irish mob that Uncle Frank joined.

Kennedy's grandfather was born with a business sense and made his first fortune from a pub in those days.

He then sent Kennedy's father to Harvard and successfully married the daughter of the mayor of Boston, leaping high society.

After that, Kennedy's father made a fortune from prohibition and had a great eye for investment, funding Roosevelt's presidential campaign on all fronts.

From there, after the repeal of the prohibition, he reaped rich rewards. He securely sat as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission chairman, accumulating a large amount of wealth.

After Luke received his commendation as a Major General, the young Kennedy, who was still only a Lieutenant in the Navy, took the initiative to invite himself to several family gatherings through Uncle Frank's relationship and spoke about the core members of the Kennedy family.

So, he knew the future President, who spent only three years in the White House before being shot in public as a casual acquaintance.

After the private contact, Luke realized that the other party's lifestyle was extremely chaotic.

Perhaps it was because when young John Kennedy was 19 years old, his first girlfriend was pried away by a best-selling author, which broke the heart of a young man who believed in true love.

Since then, this guy had become a playboy whose biggest hobby was partying and had invited Luke a few times.

The attendees were young second-generation politicians and businessmen, as well as big Hollywood stars and beautiful actresses.

Kennedy's habit was to look at a woman, talk for a few minutes, and then disappear for about half an hour.

Basically, at every party, you could see this guy suddenly disappear and then reappear with weak legs.

Moreover, he also packed a long-term suite in the Waldorf Astoria, which was especially used for holding 'multiplayer matches.'

Through the long list of people who had affairs with John F. Kennedy, the most memorable one was Marilyn Monroe.

The then sex symbol was a natural beauty. She actually had an affair with both Kennedy brothers.

It could be said to be a realistic example of 'brothers in arms!'

The most interesting thing was that after John Kennedy was assassinated, his wife Jacqueline and his brother, Bobby Kennedy, went into hiding.

Comparing the memory in his mind with the present reality, Luke finally concluded that 'the presidential family's circle was chaotic.'

Many people believe in the democracy and freedom advertised by this country of 'Liberty,' but take a look at the history of the presidents, sort out the relationships behind them.

It wasn't difficult to find that each family had a background, connections and had known and dealt with each other for a long time.

To put it bluntly, the transfer of power was always in the circle of a handful of people at the top of the pyramid; it wouldn't flow into the hands of outsiders.

Statistics show that more than 17% of the members of Congress came from political families.

Like Harrison, Hamilton, Rockefeller … These surnames have accompanied the history of the United States for 200 years and never left the historical stage.

If Luke had the idea of running for President in the future, he would certainly be invested in and courted by the political families and then pulled into the so-called political elite.

This was the truth behind so-called freedom and democracy.

"I have little interest in being a justice-oriented President and even less in being the President's son-in-law."

Luke hung up the call from the White House and silently thought, 'If it was the 45'th President's daughter they were talking about, I might have been tempted. After all, everyone has a 'patriotic' heart."

After thinking for a while, he dialed the encrypted number for S.H.I.E.L.D., a private number known only to the Director and the Commander.

The password was 'Wabiwabop.'

(Translator: it's Crazy Dave language from Plants vs. Zombies…)

Only when the answer was correct could one successfully switch to the relevant channel.

"How's the peace summit in Paris going?"

After getting rid of Namor and Sebastian Shaw, the Atlantis delegates were inclined towards peace talks.

As a result of Luke's proposal, the Congress, which used to spend all day on trivial matters, approved the proposal in a rather rare and efficient manner.

It was a rare moment of unanimity among legislators eager to make dramatic statements and gain attention.

The attitude displayed by the rest of the world was even more evident.

Each one wanted to gain access and capture the benefits quickly.

Don't blame them for being excited. There were great benefits to be gained from the initial decision on diplomatic relations and trade with Atlantis alone.

The rich resources of the deep ocean, the mining of veins, and so on could bring important changes to the development of their country.

"They are very eager -- though pretending to be calm. Right now, the countries that have ideas and are qualified to participate in the peace summit and receive a ticket to the event are the same ones from the Yalta Conference."

Carter turned over the document and replied, "Oil and gas resources, marine-derived pharmaceuticals, metal veins, and Atlantean technology are all heavyweight chips."

"Except for S.P.E.A.R, who are indifferent and only asked to participate in the peace summit without actively mentioning the allocation of resources, all other countries have a strong desire to take a piece of this big cake!"

Luke wasn't surprised by the reactions from various countries.

Except for China, which had S.P.E.A.R, the others were a bunch of people who hadn't seen the world.

The former was far more profound than S.H.I.E.L.D, Hydra, or Leviathan.

One of the predecessors of these organizations, Brotherhood of the Shield, was named 'Zhang Heng.'

That's right, the astronomer who appeared in the history books and invented the water-powered armillary sphere and the first seismograph.

His notable personal achievement was to fool a female Celestial in 114 A.D. by only talking.

The latter wanted to find a suitable star to be the cradle of her offspring.

Zhang Heng cleverly persuaded the other party to give up the earth and moon and choose the sun instead.

Therefore, if Luke wanted to go to the sun and sleep for thousands of years, he would have to steal the position from an infant Celestial.

"It's normal, S.P.E.A.R. isn't interested in Atlantis' technology; they have better things …"

Luke chuckled lightly.

The 'Shield of Imhotep' in the West had changed over the years; much of history had been lost long ago.

But the 'Spear of Imhotep' in the East had been handed down and never cut off.

As early as the Eastern Han Dynasty, people could make things similar to the first-ever machine, even travel back in time and space. Even Sorcerer Supremes had to be polite when they met. So how can they value things from Atlantis?

Participation in the Peace Summit was more symbolic attendance and a bit of capitalistic tit for tat.

"The British can't wait, and the Soviets are demanding it, so let them show their good faith."

Luke said lightly.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. is responsible for issuing admission invites. If you want a share of the cake, you have to pay the price."

Carter was well aware of the Director's thoughts. Luke had vaguely revealed a long time ago that he intended to establish a large international organization called the 'World Security Council.'

Dedicated to providing funds and authority, that means foolish investors that have a lot of money.

The purpose was to enable S.H.I.E.L.D. to develop more rapidly and effectively.

'I'll actively negotiate towards this. '

Carter made a mental note.
