"Major General, you misunderstood."

Feeling the change in the atmosphere of the Oval Office, Mr. President put on his glasses again, and put on a gentle smile like a Sichuan opera changing face.

"I was just carried away by the bad news that came in, and I didn't blame you. S.H.I.E.L.D. is responsible for the containment and control of mutants, and now that there is such a big mess, it is reasonable that the Pentagon generals should give an explanation. ”

Similar words, but this time in a softer tone.

I don't hear the slightest complaint, but more like a friendly discussion.

Seeing the wind and rudder, language arts, are all basic skills for politicians.

"IMHO, the Pentagon's generals should be a little more sedate. Maintaining a high level of vigilance and having a battle plan in place is what they have to do, not like a frightened, chattering country shrew who looks to the White House for something to say. ”

Luke unceremoniously blamed the old guys, and the president's head grew big when he heard it.

If this is to be spread, I am afraid that the contradictions between the Admiralty and the War Department will intensify again.

When the time comes, the headache will still be yourself.

"Major General Cavill, let's put these issues aside for the time being."

The president said, covering his face.

"Let's talk about Atlantis—what the hell are they coming from?"

The president digressed from the topic, but he did not forget that the young major general standing in front of him was only twenty years old.

It is the age of rebelliousness, frivolity and wanton impulsiveness.

As the saying goes, politicians prefer to deal with politicians because there are default rules of the game between them.

But meeting a young man like Luke is a headache.

He may not necessarily abide by the overt rules of political games, and it is possible to overturn the table on impulse.

Plus the great credit that the other side once flew to Berlin and ended the world war.

As well as the military's strongest super soldier, the superman appointed by the Allies and many other auras.

Not to mention the Pentagon gang, even the White House has to give some face.

In Eisenhower's words, "how do we restrain a walking atomic bomb and put it in a cage?"

"Don't worry, Mr. President. We are not ignorant of Atlantis. ”

Luke pulled out his chair and sat down, his expression relaxed that wasn't a big problem.

"Atlantis is an ancient civilization that existed on Earth 10,000 years ago with the Lemurian civilization, only to sink into the Flood of Destruction."

"Perhaps the Atlanteans, who regarded themselves as the children of the god of the sea, had a strong reverence for the sea, and instead of extinction, they miraculously preserved a trace of civilization and began to continue its transmission in the deep sea of the Atlantic."

"For nearly a century, many archaeologists have found remnants of prehistoric civilizations near the Atlantic."

Luke spoke eloquently, showing the expert posture of "I know Atlantis better than anyone else", and the president and chief of staff in the office couldn't help but secretly admire.

In fact, most of this information comes from residual memories deep in the mind.

The true history of Atlantis has to start with the Celestials.

The second time the cosmic giants came to Earth - the first time was four billion years ago, and they modified some primitive humans, from which modern mutants evolved.

Those primitive humans who have been transformed by the Celestial Group are divided into three camps, the Eternals, the Anomalies and the Humans.

The Eternals are new gods, who study the absorption and conversion of cosmic energy, and have a long lifespan, almost immortality.

They once founded three cities on Earth, the Arctic city in Siberia, the underwater city in the Pacific Ocean, and the Greek Olympia – once worshipped as gods by the Greeks.

The gang migrated several times, culminating in a conflict in which Zuras, the leader of the Eternals, exiled his brother Arals into space.

The latter is the director of the Universe Family Planning Commission, the father of the Mad Titan Thanos.

He relied on his natural ability and vigorous vitality to rebuild his home on Titan and form the "Eternals".

If you go back to the source and carefully investigate the family genealogy, the humans on Earth and Thanos are still a little related.

And the opposite of the Eternals is the anomalous.

They built cities on land, developed genetic engineering, and attempted to dominate the entire planet with Lemuria as their capital, forming the Lemurian civilization that existed at the same time as Atlantis.

Abnormal people have a high chance of genetic mutations, and the offspring bear no resemblance to their parents.

The only thing they have in common is that they are not the same as each other.

The anomalies are highly hostile to all species, which has led to the extremely aggressive nature of the Lemurian civilization, which provokes many enemies.

They were destroyed in 16,000 B.C.

The Celestials descended on Earth for the second time and destroyed Lemuria, the capital of the anomalies.

At the same time, it caused the continental plate to move, and Atlantis was affected and sank into the Atlantic Ocean.

This extremely ancient history may only be recorded in a few words by Kama Taj.

Luke didn't bother to say anything, so he skipped the front and got to the point: "Namor Mackenzie is the new king of Atlantis, and at the same time a mutant. ”

"The rejection and persecution of mutants by human beings makes him harbor hatred in his heart and wants revenge."

Mr. President's face was solemn, and he asked softly, "S.H.I.E.L.D. has long known about the existence of Atlantis, why didn't it report it?" ”

"Because we don't have conclusive evidence to convince the Pentagon and members of Congress that an ancient civilization tens of thousands of years ago is hiding in the depths of the Atlantic."

Luke shrugged his shoulders and pouted, "Mr. President, you probably won't forget how Dr. Teslak reacted when he first told those generals about mutants, right?" Everyone had contempt and disdain on their faces, and the FBI's Director Hoover even let out a comic pompous laugh, saying that it was nothing more than a clumsy lie made up by S.H.I.E.L.D. to defraud research funds. ”

"So sometimes, weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is."

With a hint of embarrassment on his face, the president coughed twice, selectively ignoring the spicy sarcasm about Director Hoover.

He knew that the FBI and S.H.I.E.L.D. had never dealt with each other, especially the relationship between the two bureau chiefs, which was not good.

Edgar Hoover is a man of grudges, and naturally nothing good happens to the young and rebellious Luke.

"Major General Cavill, since S.H.I.E.L.D. knows something about Atlantis, do you have a plan for dealing with it?"

The chief of staff, who was silently listening, asked at the right time.

"As things stand, no one wants another war. Once the maritime civilization and the land world form a fierce contradiction that cannot be resolved, I am afraid that it will become the beginning of the third world war. ”

Luke still looked calm, and calmly replied: "War will not come, this is my promise to you." ”

"Although Namor Mackenzie was king, his bloodline was impure and he never fully recognized by the Atlanteans. If you want to start a war between two civilizations, it is not so simple. ”

"His speech on that tape was more of a threat to force the military to back down."

The president pondered for a long time and decided that Luke had a point.

The Pentagon and the White House were mainly frightened by the sudden appearance of Atlantis and the tsunami that hit Anna Maria Island.

Many times, humans think they know enough about the world, but the planet beneath their feet does not belong only to them.

"Mr. President, tell the Pentagon generals that New York will not fall."

Luke recounted the origins of Atlantis, as well as news about Sebastian Shaw and the Hellfire Club.

After a moment, he stood up and looked down at the president sitting in his chair, "Because I will personally go to the Atlantic Ocean and let the Atlanteans know that the land world is far less fragile than they think." ”
