Luke has been a bit busy lately.

On the one hand, as a negotiator, he should quickly reach a preliminary cooperation intention with Atlantis and the Hellfire Club to prepare for the peace summit later.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be very embarrassing to flip the table directly in front of the whole world when the time comes.

The former is okay to say, since Namor's hapless child was tragically broken.

The people at the bottom of the sea are basically inclined to peace talks, and the will to war is not strong.

The sudden catastrophe of destruction tens of thousands of years ago has long left an indelible psychological shadow on the Atlanteans.

The original belligerent and martial character turned into a conservative and closed personality.

If Namor hadn't lost his mind and heeded Sebastian Shaw's advice, there would have been no such inexplicable war of civilizations.

For 10,000 years, the Atlanteans did not even want to set foot on land, let alone have in-depth contact and exchange.

Therefore, Luke deliberately developed a series of measures called the "Cultural Integration" program.

Although the terrestrial world and the maritime civilization have different skin colors, biological organs are different, and the level of civilization is also different.

But when it comes to entertainment culture, Atlantis is still in a very backward stage of development.

The country's greatest pastime is a trip to the Colosseum to watch gladiatorial fights – something that's left over from years ago in the Roman Empire.

Sorry for the Atlanteans!

In order to promote friendship and mutual assistance and cultural exchanges between the two civilizations, Luke decided to have S.H.I.E.L.D. prepare to export a batch of cultural products in future cooperation.

For example, what Nintendo, the era of the golden song collection, Hollywood action movies, variety reality shows...... Anyway, everything that can attract the public is packaged and sent to Atlantis.

It is believed that the people at the bottom of the sea, who have no other spare time every day except for making people and watching gladiatorial battles, and have to endure the exploitation of the aristocracy, will definitely be interested in these spiritual needs.

Even terrorist leaders who hate US imperialism and plan all kinds of suicide attacks, al-Qaeda leaders, don't still play "Final Fantasy 7", they can play "Cat and Mouse".

Therefore, there is no conflict between the position and the concept and the personal hobby.

Luke has always believed that the only thing that can lead other cosmic civilizations on earthlings is probably the entertainment industry.

After all, games, movies, and fat house happy water, these are so delicious.

Star-Lord, the son of the gods, is a loyal fan of classic golden songs, plus the king of awkward dances.

One of the five gods, the Daughter of the Swallowing Stars, has a soft spot for fried chicken, burgers, and soda.

Thor, the prince of Asgard, is obsessed with Fortnite and eventually degenerates into a dead fat house.

It can be seen that when it comes to the research of eating, drinking and playing, the earthlings are still quite competitive.

"Are you sure you really want to ...... Plan to put it in the file? ”

Carter, who sat across from him, did his job as a secretary.

Luke said as she took quick notes.

But can this so-called "cultural invasion" really be effective?

The female commander of S.H.I.E.L.D. expressed her skepticism.

"Believe me, sometimes some seemingly trivial spiritual entertainment is actually not much worse than a tank cannon."

Luke nodded, cultivating the people of Atlantis into loyal fans of the culture of the terrestrial world.

From time to time, I will bring some private goods and use the means that the lighthouse country is best at to propagate the universal values of freedom and democracy.

If the French Revolution and the principles of Mazhe were exported to Atlantis, there might really be hope for setting off an unprecedented democratic and equal rights movement for people under the sea.

Luke's mind is divergent, and he intends to use Atlantis as a huge gold mine to be mined.

It is best to allow S.H.I.E.L.D. to bypass the constraints of various countries, control the trade between the two sides, and become a monopoly middleman.

However, Atlantis's domestic conservatism is too serious, and the establishment of preliminary diplomacy and shallow trade is already the bottom line that can be approached after repeated negotiations.

"If you can't get something at the negotiation table, you can use other means."

Luke said.

"What about the Hellfire Club?"

Carter thought about it, but chose to remain skeptical.

She couldn't comprehend the amazing effect of the usual leisure items, entertainment.

"Emma Frost took my advice, and she decided to make her debut as a hero and save her compatriots from fire and water."

The corners of Luke's mouth provoked a hint of a smile, and he said lightly: "Cooperating with S.H.I.E.L.D. is the most suitable way out for mutants, and the White Queen should be able to seize this opportunity." ”

"But wasn't she hostile to humans before?"

Carter stopped his pen and looked up at Luke with suspicion.

"What kind of ecstasy soup did Mr. Director pour into people, so that an alpha-level mutant can easily let go of his prejudices and risk becoming a mutant traitor to cooperate with S.H.I.E.L.D.? She is the one who can manipulate the mind and control the mind. ”

Luke's smug expression froze instantly, and he asked tentatively, "What gossip did you hear?" ”

Carter shook his head and sneered, "I just know that the White Queen of the Hellfire Club knocked on the door of Mr. Director's room after the negotiation meeting on Liberty Island. ”

"To be honest, I'm a little curious, what did you talk about, can you use it for an hour?"

Luke was a little embarrassed and coughed lightly, "Just discussing the development of the mutant plan." Peggy, you know me, and if you really want to do something, it won't be just an hour. ”

Carter was stunned, and for a moment, he couldn't refute it.

Because after thinking about it carefully, she felt that Luke's defense was very reasonable, and it was simply impeccable.

This is really not enough for Mr. Bureau, who is tireless and unbridled on a certain battlefield.

"And what about the Hellfire Club?"

Carter skipped the topic with personal emotions and continued: "Emma Frost, she's not necessarily convincing. ”

Luke wasn't worried about this, there weren't many alpha-level mutants, especially since the White Queen was still a rare psychic person.

Against anyone, they have the confidence to compete with it.

Even in the Hellfire Club, there are indeed many people who criticize the White Queen, thinking that she is a traitor and an informer.

But when Sebastian Shaw's black history is exposed, the voice is much quieter.

"Those opposing opinions can't make any waves."

Luke said confidently.

He is well versed in the entertainment industry in later generations, and if he wants to eliminate the black spots on a person, he does not need to work hard to whitewash, but it is enough to smear the other person even more black.

People will always compare with each other, and when Sebastian Shaw, who was originally the leader of mutants, reveals that he is a cold-blooded butcher who persecuts his compatriots, it doesn't matter if the White Queen is a traitor and an informer.

"Well, if there's a problem anyway, you can always give a solution."

Carter closed the document and said softly: "The proposal for the peace summit has been passed, and the venue is set at the Palace of Versailles in Paris, and the time is 3:20 in the afternoon of the same day." Mr. President, you have been asked to attend as a delegate in your capacity as Lieutenant General and Chief of S.H.I.E.L.D. ”

Luke raised an eyebrow, a little bored.

In less than a year, the promotion of the official career has reached its peak.

It's so boring!

If you want to continue to win the honor of a five-star general, that is, a marshal, it is estimated that it is impossible to accomplish.

In the current military rank system, the permanent highest is only a lieutenant general, such as "four-star general" and "five-star general" are temporary military ranks, which are only awarded in wartime.

Therefore, Luke's promotion path can be regarded as a short climb to the top.

"Then remember to help me write my speech."

Luke said with a smile.

"By the way, what about Steve? Why don't I see others? ”

Carter covered his forehead with a helpless expression.

"Colonel Rogers is at odds with those two beasts under your command, they ...... Yesterday there was a fight. ”

Luke was a little surprised, Captain America has always been a good old man with a good temper.

Will he fight with people?

Wait a minute.

Is it the saber-toothed tiger and the Wolverine?

That's fine.

The pair of mutant brothers belong to the ranks of grumpy old brothers.

Wolverine Logan is slightly better and can be considered to be able to keep his sanity.

His elder brother, Victor the Saber-toothed Tiger, is still bloodthirsty in his bones, even though he has been harshly educated by Luke.

When you meet a good person in the traditional sense like Captain America, there will definitely be contradictions.

After all, the former is not very acceptable even for swearing.

Iron Man Tony Stark just said "Shit" and was taught.

"Okay, let me take care of it."

Luke stood up, and when he returned to Washington, D.C., he had a whole bunch of work to accomplish.

"It's time to get myself a secretary and free up my time."
