Chapter 159 is an upright Howard, not close to the female Director Lu

"Thank you for your kindness, I'm not very receptive to this."

In the study, Luke sat in a chair and waved his hand to refuse the cigar that Mr. President handed over.

As many people know, this lieutenant general does not have any bad habits.

He does not smoke, and alcohol is only a taste.

The only thing worth criticizing is perhaps only private life.

But this little problem, placed in young people and high society, is really insignificant.

Even the nominal leader of the country, the president in the White House, may not have a good private life.

Not to mention, the Pentagon's lieutenant general.

"Well, it's good to have good habits. There are very few young people who actively refuse to destroy their bodies like you. ”

Instead of being annoyed, Mr. President complimented him.

"Yes, I value a regular routine."

Luke smiled slightly, he would do some warm-up exercises to improve blood circulation before going to bed every day.

Then sleep until dawn, never leaving fatigue and stress for the next day.

Like Malena, Peggy, Emma the White Queen......

All the women who spent the night with him had said that Mr. Lieutenant General's routine was normal.

"It's one of the few personal hobbies that I can't change or want to change for a while. The smell of tobacco calms me down and thinks calmly. ”

The President took a high-end cigar out of the box, played with it for a moment, and smoked it patiently with a long match, and could tell that he was enjoying the process.

"This box was given to me by Churchill, and we have a common language in cigar taste. Although my personal doctor has advised me to reduce my tobacco and alcohol intake, the short life of a human being without cigars and whiskey would not have lost much of its meaning. ”

Luke nodded in agreement, although he was not interested in tobacco and alcohol, it was because he had other hobbies.

"The Prime Minister also gave me a box, and I'll bring it another day and give it to His Excellency the President."

He was a little skeptical that Churchill had given cigars to everyone, and it was said that the deceased Roosevelt had also received them.

"That's embarrassing."

The president laughed twice, then lowered his voice and said, "Don't let Beth know, she doesn't like me smoking cigars." ”

"Of course. It's a secret between men. ”

Luke blinked and replied in a very respectful manner.

After a few minutes, the small talk was over, and the conversation between the two was back on track.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. has received information that the Soviet side has been making frequent moves recently. Not only is the nuclear industry vigorously developed, but they also plan to revive the Super Soldier program of the Second World War era - as far as I know, they have a secret organization called 'Leviathan' that is actively recruiting biologists to produce good fighters. ”

In order to stall for as much time as possible, create opportunities for Howard.

Luke opened his mouth and talked about the latest developments on the part of the Soviet Union.

Mr. President, who sat across from him, was not a mediocre politician.

On the contrary, he is extremely ambitious and enterprising.

After the end of World War II, the president who entered the White House took the lead in putting forward the strategic goal of seeking world hegemony.

The defeat of the Axis powers, coupled with the weakening of the decline of Britain and France.

Relying on the developed military strength, economic accumulation, Bald Eagle began to covet the throne of world hegemon.

If it weren't for the birth of Atlantis, it would temporarily block the White House and the Pentagon, which are ready to implement global expansion by interfering in the internal affairs of other countries.

At this time, perhaps the bipolar pattern has been formed.

"Lieutenant General Cavill, the Red Empire is indeed something to be wary of. They may be the worst enemies! ”

The president exhaled a puff of cyan smoke and said with a solemn face.

"Sometimes, I am amazed by the strong faith of these people, the ability to act with the explosion of collectivism."

The winner of World War II was not only the silently developed United States, but also a Siberian red woolly bear.

Among the Yalta Four Nations Conference, another Celestial Empire power that appeared on the world stage and showed mysterious power.

It is an unopened quest and will not be counted towards the Global Map for the time being.

"As for the peace summit to be held in a few days, and the distribution of benefits in Atlantis, I will have to worry about Lieutenant General Cavill."

The President put down the quarter-length cigar he had smoked and said solemnly: "The future of the United States belongs to young people like you." ”

Luke smiled, he didn't want to do anything in front and back, it would be easy to get shot dead on the beach.

The bright future of the Lighthouse Nation clearly belongs to a real estate tycoon who has not yet been born.

That's the most suitable person to lead America to greatness again in his lifetime - squinting and smiling.

In the next forty minutes, the two people who stayed in the study talked a lot and talked a lot.

During the visit, the president also asked Luke if he would be interested in a trip to Moscow.

And to the worst step, the two sides started a third war, the Soviet Union launched a nuclear bomb, and he had no confidence to intercept it.

Naturally, Luke avoided such a question and was vague.

He's not Dr. Manhattan on the set next door, and he's not interested in engaging in any humanoid nuclear deterrence.

"That's it for today, Beth's boneless steak should be ready."

The president extinguished the cigar in his hand, waved his hand to disperse the smell of tobacco, and pushed the door out with a smile.

Then, he saw a very discordant scene.

In the living room, Howard sat on a couch, flanked by the president's wife and daughter.

He seemed to say something funny, which made the other two cover their mouths and chuckle, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

"It's ...... What's going on? ”

The president looked confused and had mixed feelings.

Inexplicably, I feel like I was being attacked by the king next door, like my wife and daughter.

Originally, he admired Howard's talent, and Stark Industries was also an important defense contractor for the Pentagon.

But now, the president looks at the mustachioed man who is trying to show his humorous side, and the more he looks at it, the more he hates it.

"What are you talking about? I heard laughter in the study. ”

The president asked dryly, holding back his anger.

"Your Excellency, I just told you something about what I saw when I was in England."

Howard cleared his throat and said in a serious tone: "I used to live in London, before the war began. There was a time when I wanted to grow a beard in order to show my manhood, but the innkeeper laughed at me, 'Ha, you have the same mouth as my wife didn't shave her hair underneath,' and he was rude to say that. ”

"And how do you answer?"

Luke replied with a snort.

"I looked in the mirror, then nodded, 'Well, you're right, it does look like it,' and the boss walked away triumphantly."

Howard said earnestly, as if it were true.

The president's wife, who was sitting next to her, laughed and screamed.

Women are always more receptive to colored jokes than maidens.

"Mr. Stark's experience has been truly enriching."

The president smiled and was unhappy that his wife was sitting so close to Howard.

"Anything else interesting? I also want to hear it and increase my knowledge. ”

"Still in London, still the innkeeper, whose wife usually works as an assistant to the magicians in the theater. Once, he came home early and found his wife stripped naked and standing in the bedroom. ”

Howard touched his beard, learned his movements and tone vividly, and said seriously: "The innkeeper was very puzzled, and immediately asked, his wife was at a loss, and he didn't know how to explain. ”

"Later, under the pressure of the boss, his wife said that she had recently learned a magic trick, and then shouted, 'Now is the time to witness the miracle,' and a slick and unclothed magician came out of the cupboard."

"This surprised the innkeeper, he didn't expect that his wife could not only change her life, but also change the other party's clothes, which is incredible."

This time it was the president's daughter's turn to hold back a smile and shrug her shoulders hard, her round face showing two blushes.

After the little joke of warming up the audience, the president's wife finally remembered the Texas boneless steak and hurriedly rushed into the kitchen.

Everyone else sat down at the table, and it wasn't long before an enticing aroma wafted out.

"It's a good craft."

Luke has little interest in the president's daughter, but he is full of praise for the boneless steak made by the president's wife.

When you bite into it, the meat is juicy and rich.

It doesn't look greasy, it doesn't lose its tender flavor, and it's reminiscent of the secret beef of Little Sheldon's family.

"Just eat happily."

The president's wife said reservedly.

She is used to being recognized for her cooking skills.

"Is there any secret recipe? It's so delicious! After tasting this kind of beef, I will go to the restaurant in the future, I'm afraid I won't order the steak again. ”

Howard jumped out, and the chunks of beef couldn't stop his mouth.

"With all due respect, ma'am, I'm willing to take all the shares of Stark Industries in exchange for this recipe."

Compared with Luke's bland compliments, Howard's exaggerated statement is more likely to please the president's wife.

This is the strength of a prodigal son in love, a dating expert, and an arsonist in the heart.

Launching an offensive directly against the president's daughter is too obvious and a bit rushed.

It is a wiser choice to use roundabout tactics to curry favor with the president's wife.

Of course, this is just to clear Luke's out.

Howard is also not interested in becoming the president's son-in-law.

He was an indulgent wanderer who could not have entered the grave of love so early – even the president's daughter was named Mary.

"One teaspoon of cumin, one cup of brown sugar, two teaspoons of smoked red pepper, three teaspoons of dried mustard......"

Some of the president's wives happily said the secret recipe.

Howard made a listening face and took the paper and notes.

Like, he really cares about this secret beef recipe.

The president next to him was silent, and he wanted to smash the steak on the plate in the other person's face.

What is this guy doing to please my wife?

The president remembered the two jokes from earlier, and inexplicably felt like the hapless innkeeper.

During the twenty-minute meal, Howard's rainbow farts reverberated around the table, compliments, and the laughter of the president's wife and her daughter.

As for the president?

Like an outsider, he couldn't interject at all, so he could only talk to Luke awkwardly.

The marriage plan to promote his daughter was killed in this way, and Howard, who was strong and strong, made a mess.

After dinner, the living room was full of people.

While the president's wife was cleaning up in the kitchen, Mr. President finally found an opportunity.

He deliberately ignored Howard, who was getting close to his daughter, and pulled Luke affectionately, making a look of a warm-hearted elder.

"Lieutenant General Cavill, what do you think about family and marriage?"

The president knocked on the side and gave his daughter a look by the way.

It's just that the latter was talking to Howard about Agatha Christie's latest and didn't notice her father at all.

"I'm still young, I don't have enough experience, I don't know enough, I don't have much to say."

Luke smiled faintly and avoided the topic.

"Your Excellency the President is talking about this, do you want to introduce me to someone? I don't have the idea of that yet, but Howard has always wanted to find his ideal partner. ”

"If there is a suitable young lady, you might as well introduce him."

"Right, Howard?"

Howard, who had already gone from Agatha Christie to Arthur Conan Doyle, nodded decisively.

There was sincerity in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "That's right, I have long wanted to stabilize and live a peaceful life. It's just that I haven't found the soul mate of my dreams. ”

"Your Excellency, although there are various rumors about Howard in the outside world, that he dates three or four women at the same time in a week, is busy with work during the day and goes to a hotel overnight at night, is proficient in time management, and has a leg with many Hollywood female stars."

Luke turned the subject more and more off-topic, and said in a loud voice, "But I can assure you that Howard is definitely not as written in the newspapers, he is a man of integrity, obsessed with science, and a friend worth making friends with." I believe that I can also become a qualified husband and an excellent father in the future. ”

Without waiting for the stunned president to come back to his senses, Howard modestly said, "Luke is the example I need to follow." Don't look at his young age, but he is clean and self-conscious, and he is not close to women......"

Two brazen guys, like cross talk, blow each other crazy business, so that the president doesn't even have room to interject.

After all the accidents of this night, Mr. President was a little tired and finally gave up the idea of selling his daughter.

He waved his hand, revealing the meaning of sending off the guests: "It's getting late, Lieutenant General Cavill, and ...... Mr. Stark, I won't leave you overnight. ”

When Luke heard this, he immediately got up.

After a few pleasantries, he took Howard and left.

"How? Not bad, right? ”

Howard, who walked out of the Blair State Guesthouse, said triumphantly.

"Well, I'm afraid that if you stay any longer, Mr. President will smash the red wine I brought on your head."

Luke said with a smile.

Howard is worthy of being a friend of women, and even the level of the president's wife can be skillfully controlled.

"So, I paid a huge price. Luke, don't forget what you promised. ”

Remembering the way the president looked at him before leaving, Howard couldn't help but feel a chill in his back.

But, in order to step into the magical world of legends, what sorceres, goblins, succubi, centaurs to experience......

Even if the president writes down his name in a small notebook, it's worth it!

"It's all said, everyone is a friend, and I won't lie to you."

Luke assured.

Anyway, he had attended the peace summit in Paris, and he was going to Kama Taj, and there was no problem with Howard.

……

……

Blair State Guesthouse, Presidential Suite.

Sending off the two troublesome guys, the president returned to his study.

He needed to smoke a cigar and cool down.

"Who are you?"

As soon as he sat down in his chair, a strange figure suddenly appeared in the room.

The other party has his hands behind his back, wearing a strange purple helmet and a retro robe with purple and green.

"You don't need to know who I am."

The stranger's voice was hoarse, and his skin was gray, unconsciously revealing a hint of arrogance.

"I have been the pharaoh of Egypt and the monarch of the Persian Empire...... But I haven't tried what it's like to be president. ”

The frightened president tried to speak out, but found that his mouth was tightly closed.

"That young lieutenant general, it's weird. I haven't heard his name, and there shouldn't have been this man in history. ”

The stranger talked to himself, pulled out his chair, and took the cigar from the president's hand.

"Whew! I also like the taste of tobacco. Howard Stark, he's a celebrity, it's worth noting. And Superman...... I have to be careful. ”

"I've been looking at this timeline for a while, and it's not the same as the worlds I've conquered. That's a good thing, and it piqued my interest even more. ”

"It's not easy to avoid the Supreme Mage. I hid for so long, and I found an opportunity while the ancient one was playing with Dormammu. ”

“……”

Strangers talk to themselves, saying things that the president cannot understand.

When the cigar was third-thirds of the way through, there was a cry outside the study.

"Harry, dear, the bathwater is ready."

The president's wife knocked on the door.

"Okay, I'll come out right away."

The stranger twitched his throat, and his voice was the same as that of the president.

"The fun life is about to begin."

He stood up, took a potion from his belt, and struck it into his neck.

Nanoworms, invisible to the naked eye, are injected into the body, and in just a few seconds, the appearance is transformed into the president's appearance.

The latter sat in his chair, motionless, but his eyes were full of fear.

The president looked in the mirror and saw the stranger, gradually becoming himself.
