The US Military Political Propaganda Department. Rogers was very familiar with this department. Because for a long time after the success of the Super Soldier program.
As a super soldier of the US military, Captain Rogers didn't devote himself to the battlefield as a soldier. Instead, he launched various tours throughout the United States.
In those days in the 1930s. Watching the circus was still one of the most important forms of entertainment for people. At that time, there weren't as many ways of entertainment as there are now.
As a successful product of the Super Soldier program. Captain Rogers had extraordinary strength. If he squeezed out all his strength, he could have about a ton of strength.
He also had super high flexibility and body coordination. And in his circus, Rogers was the biggest star. Every time they went on tour, there would be countless people flocking to see them.
They wanted to see what the strongest and most flexible man in the world looked like. In fact, the earliest Captain America uniform was born during the circus period.
At that time, the costume was not designed for combat. It was just a performance suit that allowed Rogers to perform with the ballerinas in the circus.
And the name of Captain America was first called from this circus. Because at that time, there was a short play that was performed in the circus during the interval.
The general content of the story was a group of US soldiers beating up German and East Ocean Axis soldiers. And the leader of the group of US soldiers was Rogers.
Rogers had a famous line in the play. "I punish you on behalf of the US!" So the name Captain America began to spread from this place, and it hasn't changed to this day.
Huh? You asked why the success of the Super Soldier, Steve Rogers, would go to the circus to perform?
Ah! You're still too young to understand the true meaning of war.
Starting in the middle of 1941, the Western Front in Europe had entered a state of total defeat. The European Alliance countries had entered a state of exhaustion, completely relying on the will of the people to support themselves.
And Germany also began to attack like the Soviet Union on the Eastern Front. At that time, Germany seemed unstoppable. It was only a matter of time before the world was unified.
When the UA introduced the wartime Lend-Lease Act, UA President Roosevelt knew very well that if the allies on the European front were not given support, then Europe would be completely shrouded in the shadow of the Iron Cross Flag.
However, isolationism and conservatives were rampant in the United States at that time. People like them always thought that the war had nothing to do with the United States and that they could live in seclusion in North America forever.
These people obstructed the passage of the Warrior Weapon Lease Bill, believing that doing so would only invite trouble for themselves.
In order to change the isolationist attitude within the country, the Political Propaganda Department of the US military was given important political propaganda work.
They needed to appeal to the public about the importance of resisting the Axis. In the same year, the successful Super Soldier Project was chosen by the military.
At that time, all the military believed that if Steve Rogers entered the battlefield, he would be killed. In that case, the Alliance would only gain a super soldier. If these soldiers could not be used on a large scale, they would not be able to have a fundamental change in the battle situation.
If Rogers were to be used as a signboard of the US military, it would be similar to the trendy shopkeeper. Then Captain Rogers's excellent appearance and super strong physique. These are enough to attract most young people.
In today's more popular terms, the US military's Political Propaganda Department hoped to create an idol effect.
Of course, at that time, everyone underestimated the power of a super soldier entering the battlefield and underestimated the appeal of Steve Rogers in the future.
Therefore, back then, Rogers was like the head of a circus, following the political publicity department to perform everywhere, promoting performances such as "America Needs You" and so on.
So before he set foot on the battlefield, Steve Rogers had actually made his debut as a star. Even in 1941, the military and Hollywood co-produced a 28-minute movie starring Steve Rogers.
The content was to call on young people to volunteer to fight against the Nazis on the Western Front in Europe.
Others were to call on the public to donate money and goods to support the European battlefield and the war refugees who were already exhausted.
Rogers did a lot of similar things in the past. But the whole year of political propaganda in 1941 was not a good memory for Rogers.
He preferred to go head-to-head with the Nazis on the battlefield, or fight with Hydra behind the enemy lines.
Instead of standing under the spotlight like a clown, being manipulated by others. He made exaggerated expressions, made exaggerated movements, and finally showed a smile to the audience that showed eight teeth.
It can be said that for Captain Rogers, this past is simply a dark history that he doesn't want to recall.
"I don't like the military's Political Propaganda Department. In every sense of the word. "Rogers broke away from his own recollection and spoke in a dry tone.
"I don't like them to use my name to do anything, in all senses."
Li Jie clapped his hands, making a loud 'pa' sound. "Then it's easy. In this way, I don't think you want your copyright to still fall into the hands of the military."
"To be honest, the US military's military spending is a bit too much. But they are still using your name to make money and set up the Captain America Operations Club. "
"Although I don't want to say that, this operation can bring more than one billion or even two billion dollars in additional revenue for the US military every year. And they neither declare taxes nor disclose this income. "
"No one knows where the money ended up. To put it bluntly, I don't know. It's better for you to use it to support S.H.E.L.D. than for the US military to take this money. "
"I heard that you've been in financial difficulties recently? I don't think your director would refuse an extra two billion dollars a year. "Li Jie said with a smile.
"I thought you said so much because you wanted 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 I don't want to sign Captain America. "Li Jie looked at Rogers with a very serious look.
"I want to sign you. The title of Captain America can be given to anyone, but you are you. "
