Chapter 45: You Are a Legend
The Political Propaganda Department of the US military, this department Rogers is very familiar with. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info because for quite some time after the success of the Super Soldier program.
Captain Rogers, who is a super soldier of the U.S. Army, did not go into battle as a soldier. Rather, it is a variety of tours throughout the United States.
In those days of the thirties of the last century. Watching the circus is also one of the important forms of entertainment for people. At that time, there were not as many pastimes as there are now.
A success story as a super soldier. Captain Rogers has extraordinary strength, and if all the strength of his body is squeezed out, he can have about a ton of strength.
It also has a high degree of flexibility and body coordination. And in the circus where he works, Rogers is the biggest star. Every time I go on tour, countless people flock to it.
They wanted to see what the strongest and most flexible man in the world looked like. In fact, the first Captain America uniform was born during the circus period.
At that time, there was no design for that costume to be used for combat. It was just a performance costume that Rogers used to perform with the ballerinas in the circus.
And the name Captain America was first called from this circus. Because at that time there was a short skit in the circus that was performed in the interval.
The story is about a group of American soldiers beating up Axis soldiers from Germany and the East. And the leader of that group of American soldiers was Rogers.
Rogers has a famous line in the play. "I punish you on behalf of the United States!" So the name of Captain America began to spread from this place, and it has not changed until now.
Why, you ask, did Steve Rogers go to the circus for the success story of the Super Soldier?
You're still too young to understand the true meaning of war.
By the middle of 1941, the European Western Front had entered a state of total rout. The Allies in Europe have entered a state where they have run out of oil and are completely dependent on the will of their people.
And Germany also began to attack like the Soviet Union on the Eastern Front. Germany at that time looked unstoppable. It is only a matter of time before the whole world is unified.
When the United States introduced the Wartime Lend-Lease Act, then US President Franklin D. Roosevelt knew very well that if the allies on the European front did not provide certain support, then Europe would be completely shrouded in the shadow of the Iron Cross.
However, isolationism and conservatism were rampant in the United States at the time. These people will always feel that the war will not have anything to do with the United States, and that they can live in isolation on the North American continent forever.
These people obstructed the passage of the Lend-Lease Act for Fighters, believing that it would set them on fire.
In order to change this isolationist attitude within the country, the US military's political propaganda department was given important political propaganda work.
They needed to appeal to the people about the importance of resisting the Axis of Resistance. And in the same year, the successful experimental super soldier program was targeted by the military.
At the time, all the military believed that Steve Rogers would enter the battlefield. Then the Allies have just gained a super soldier. If this kind of soldier is not used on a large scale, it will not be able to fundamentally change the situation of the war.
And if Rogers is used as a signboard of the U.S. military, it is similar to the now popular Kanban Niang. Then Captain Rogers has excellent appearance, and super physique. These are enough to appeal to most young people.
In today's more popular terms, it is the US military's political and propaganda department that hopes to create an idol effect.
Of course, everyone at the time underestimated the power of a super soldier when he entered the battlefield, and also underestimated the appeal that Steve Rogers would generate in the future.
So Rogers was like a top name in the circus, following the propaganda department around to promote performances like "America Needs You".
So before he even stepped foot on the battlefield, Steve Rogers had actually debuted as a star. Even in 1941, the military and Hollywood co-produced a 28-minute movie starring Steve Rogers.
The content is a call for young people to volunteer on the Western Front in Europe to fight the Nazis.
Others are calling on people to donate money and goods to support the war refugees in Europe and who have run out of gas.
Rogers had done a lot of things like that. But the whole year of propaganda work in 1941 was not a good memory for Rogers.
He prefers to go toe-to-toe with the Nazis on the battlefield or wits with Hydra behind enemy lines.
Instead of standing in the spotlight and fiddling with it like a clown. Make exaggerated expressions, make exaggerated movements, and finally show the audience a smile that shows eight teeth.
It can be said that this past is simply a black history that Captain Rodgers does not want to recall.
"I don't like the military's political propaganda department. in every sense of the word. Rogers detached himself from his memories and said in a dry tone.
"I don't like them to do anything in my name, in every sense of the word. ”
Li Jie slapped his palm and made a snapping sound. "Then it's easy to do, in this way, I don't think you want your copyright to still be in the hands of the military, captain. ”
"To be honest, the U.S. military's military spending is a bit outrageous. But they're still making money with your name, and they've also set up the Captain America Operations. ”
"I hate to say that, but this operation could generate more than a billion or even two billion dollars a year in additional revenue for the U.S. military. And they neither tax nor disclose this income. ”
"No one knows where the money ends up, to put it inappropriately. With the U.S. military, it's better for you to use it to support S.H.I.E.L.D. ”
"I heard you've been in financial trouble lately? I don't think your director would refuse to make an extra two billion dollars a year. Li Jie said with a smile.
"I thought you said all this to sign my copyright. Rogers looked at Li Jie's expression and said with some surprise.
"Naturally, I naturally want to sign your copyright. But it's not Captain America that I want to sign. Li Jie looked at Rogers with a very serious eye.
"It's you who I want to sign. The title of Captain America can be given to anyone, but you are you. ”
"You are a unique legend, you are irreplaceable Steve Rogers. ”
