That night.
In order to welcome Colonel Steve Rogers back home, Quantico Military Base hosted a special party.
"Captain Rogers..."
As Lake’s female companion, Rachel, wearing a gorgeous gown, touched the cup with Steve Rogers, who had just finished his long conversation with a retired general: “That’s wrong. It should be Colonel Rogers now.”
Steve glanced at Rachel’s male partner and said to Rachel: "Actually, I prefer someone to call me Steve, Miss..."
"Rachel, Rachel Edwin, you can call me Rachel, Captain."
"Steve."
Rachel shook hands with Steve and smiled and said, "Captain, I think outsiders will be very curious about your return. I don't know if you have time to accept an exclusive interview with me."
Steve said: "I don't think there will be curiosity outside, maybe they will panic."
"how come."
Rachel smiled and said: "Demons, giants, magicians, everyone has become accustomed to these lives that were once only in legends or stories. Moreover, I think that the return of Captain America will bring people all over the world. Feel at ease. After all, if it weren't for you, the world would have been the world it is now."
Lake, dressed in a major general's uniform, said with a smile beside him: "You are the banner of our federal military. As long as you are there, I think they will know that the world is so peaceful because of, There are people like you moving forward with heavy loads."
Nowadays, the Federation has quite a bit of criticism about certain actions of the military, thinking that capital has colluded with the military, and most of the wars waged by the Federation today are waged for capital.
The federation that once struggled to maintain world peace has disappeared.
This is pure nonsense.
As long as there is Captain America, all military operations are carried out with the love and justice of the Federation, and all wars are fought for peace.
The world is not safe, it's just that someone is carrying the weight for you.
This is what Lake said.
Last Christmas, as usual, the military sent a spokesperson to deal with the routine interviews of reporters from Washington, D.C., what Lake said.
These remarks won the approval of the Pentagon. Several bigwigs felt that Lake Edwin was indeed a qualified successor to the next generation of our military.
Lake smiled at the Pentagon's affirmation.
what?
Plagiarism?
How can this be called plagiarism? Whose is Lake plagiarizing? Let alone the matter of scholars, it can't be called plagiarism. Just to say, the original source of this sentence is not here in the East.
Again.
Lake has no sense of belonging to a dime for the east country on this planet.
Listening to Lake's comment, Steve gave a wry smile: "I'm just doing what I should be able to do, what I should be able to do as a Union soldier."
At that time, the Third Reich tried to conquer the entire earth. At that time, almost all the men of the Federation wanted to join the army to stop the conspiracy of the Third Reich.
As a patriotic youth, Steve Rogers is naturally the same. If there is a difference, Steve Rogers once asked himself, the most is that his luck is slightly better than others.
Lake laughed loudly and said something to tell Steve not to be too humble.
Cocktail party.
Isn't it just a cocktail party organized for mutual admiration? The theme of the cocktail party can be changeable, but the core lies in mutual admiration.
In the afternoon, when Thomas finished exercising with Steve, he took Thetis and turned and left quietly as if coming over quietly.
if not…
Frankly speaking, Lake is still having a headache about who to bring to this cocktail party.
But the rhythm is pretty good right now. It's Thetis in the afternoon and Rachel in the evening. Tomorrow, it happens that Hermione is going to accompany her relative, which is Ms. Peggy Carter.
Just when the cocktail party entered the later stage.
Lake stood at the door, accompanied by General Ross, watching the scene of the retired generals with very loud surnames getting in their special car and driving away from the Quantico base.
at this time.
Lake looked at a black sports car coming from a distance, raised his eyebrows, and stared at someone coming off the car. The corners of his mouth rose: "Director Fury, my God, if it wasn't for your blindfolds that were white , I can hardly see you clearly."
Nick Fury ignored Lake’s words and looked at Lake directly: “Director Edwin, the Cube of the Universe belongs to SHIELD.”
Lake was expressionless: "Director Fury, do you know what kind of disasters you will bring to the earth if you study the behavior of the universe's Rubik's Cube without authorization?"
"is it?"
"You do not believe?"
The corner of Lake’s mouth raised: “It’s okay. At the White Palace hearing in five days, you will know what serious consequences your private research has caused. Director Nick Fury, maybe you should learn a word. For the unknown, what you need to do is not to explore, but to maintain the awe of the unknown!"
Nick Fury's one-eyed didn't have any expression, just repeating a sentence: "The Cube of the Universe belongs to S.H.I.E.L.D.".
Lakeha smiled: "But you S.H.I.E.L.D. belongs to my federation. Whose Cosmos Rubik's Cube belongs to? You said it doesn’t count. I said that I’m not interested in your stuff. If you honestly keep to the unknown. If you are in awe, I don’t even bother to take care of you, but you are too stupid, so in five days, say goodbye to your universe cube."
Nick Fury: "..."
Being tough has never been Lake's style of doing things.
Uh…
Not in most cases.
This time is no exception. Compared with people like S.H.I.E.L.D. who like to sneak in everything, Lake prefers the domineering way.
Moreover.
What's the point of robbing secretly?
To grab...
What could be more thrilling than grabbing in person?
So after returning from Atlantis yesterday, Lake called the White Building directly as the Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security, saying that now Homeland Security has reason to suspect that S.H.I.E.L.D. is using the Universe Rubik’s Cube to create many possibilities. Things that endanger homeland security require S.H.I.E.L.D. to immediately stop research work and immediately transfer the Cosmos Cube to homeland security custody.
Nick Fury quit in person.
Why did he restart the study of the Cosmos Rubik's Cube? Isn't it because of the weird things that are increasing on the earth nowadays, and who made his current S.H.I.E.L.D. power more and more saddened by Nick Fury?
It used to be okay, and there are still people available, but since Phil Coleson, who was dispatched to Texas last year, submitted his resignation letter directly and neatly, and then turned to join the Super Investigation Bureau, the huge S.H.I.E.L.D. Bureau, despite the large number of people , But Nick Fury suddenly discovered that there were not many people he could use and trusted.
In addition to the arrival of the Asgard prince Thor, it made Nick Fury, who was a late-stage persecuted delusional patient, feel the deep crisis from above his head, so he ignored the advice of Captain Marvel when he left the earth. In addition, because of the instigation of the Skrullians, he restarted the research on the universe's Rubik's Cube.
result…
Nick Fury never expected that he restarted the study of the universe’s Rubik’s Cube in just a few months. He swears that even in SHIELD, few people know this, so he heard about the white building. During the questioning of the thing, he was stunned for a while, and then he accused Lake of slander.
unfortunately.
Nick Fury’s eldest brother Alexander Pierce is getting angry. The reason is very simple. Alexander Pierce didn’t know about this. No, he even had the Cube of the Universe that disappeared in the 1980s and was still in SHIELD, and Fortunately, I didn't know anything about this matter.
This made Alexander Pierce couldn't help but begin to reassess the Nick Fury.
The more Alexander Pierce looked at, the more he felt that Nick Fury seemed to have something to hide from his great brother. Therefore, Alexander Pierce directly stated that he had gone to activities, but he was powerless. This means white buildings. And Lake is not only the Department of Homeland Security, but also the spokesperson of the military.
"correct."
Lake raised his eyebrows and looked at Nick Fury: "Director Fury is not at home preparing for the hearing in five days. Why did he suddenly come here?"
Nick Fury looked directly at General Ross next to him: "Steve Rogers is also my veteran agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., it makes sense for me to come and see him."
General Rose just wanted to speak.
Lake directly shook his head: "Sorry, it's not reasonable at all. I'm curious, where did you come to the conclusion that Steve Rogers is your senior agent of SHIELD."
What a joke.
Lake thought with his toes to know the purpose of this black braised egg.
It is nothing more than knowing the value of Steve Rogers, and it is possible that S.H.I.E.L.D. will be restored to the same grand occasion when Ms. Peggy Carter was still there.
But the black marinated egg is all about eating it.
"Col. Steve Rogers, UU Reading used to be a captain of the military, and now a colonel of the military, and as a professional soldier is not allowed to have part-time jobs, so, where did you get this In conclusion, Director Nick Fury?"
"Isn't Vice Minister Edwin a part-time job?"
"I'm different."
"Oh, what's the difference?"
"I am one of the masters of this country."
"..."
Lake looked at Nick Fury who was going to the party alone with a smile: "What do you think of my reason? Director Nick Fury, are you still satisfied, can you accept it?"
Nick Fury: "..."
Anyway, after Phil Coleson dug up, S.H.I.E.L.D. had no other talents.
It's okay.
It's time to make a big push.
