In the headquarters of the SHIELD in New York, Agent Hill, the former Deputy Director of the SHIELD Bureau, Nick Fury, is now extremely busy. Because of the previous fall of SHIELD, Nick Fury was caught in the biggest political crisis in his life.
He had previously been relieved of all SHIELD duties and was also sent to a special prison in Washington for detention.
Questions about whether Nick has committed any violations during his tenure, including: whether he exceeded his authority and whether illegal arrests were adopted, will be listed on the Security Committee for discussion.
As to whether Nick Fury should be responsible for the fall of SHIELD, and how he should be responsible, this matter also needs more meetings and discussions.
Hill was a little worried about Nick's current situation. As a former deputy director, Hill knew how heavy the burden was on Nick, and as an S.H.I.E.L.D. agent working on the underground front, where could there be several violations of the law.
But no matter how worried she is now about Nick Fury, she now needs to put her worries aside first. Because Nick Fury's resignation was decided after consultation by the safety committee.
Former S.H.I.E.L.D.'s senior intelligence deputy, Agent Agent, temporarily took over the position of S.H.I.E.L.D., as to who will take up the official S.H.I.E.L.D.'s position as a director.
After all, this position is of great importance and cannot be decided easily. This is not just a simple capable person, or Nick Fury will not be dismissed because of a mistake.
It also involves this complicated political game. And this year New York City is about to hold a general election. The old mayor of New York is about to abdicate. Who can serve as the new mayor for the next five years is unknown.
The Greater New York area, including New Jersey, Buffalo, Atlantic City Philadelphia, and other satellite cities that radiate outward from New York City. This is of great importance to the entire United States.
The entire New York area radiating out covers almost 18% of the annual US gross national output value. Nearly one-fifth of the power of the US economic engine comes from the Greater New York area.
This can be said to be the economic heart of the entire United States. It is also the most elite region in the United States.
The most important part of the Greater New York area is New York City, a city that holds the lifeblood of the US economy, and can even be said to control the direction of the global economy.
Not counting other satellite cities affiliated, just a city in New York City also accounts for 12% of the country ’s total output value.
One can imagine the importance of New York City to the entire United States. And this year's New York general election is followed by the presidential election that will be warmed up next year.
The incumbent president is already at the end of his second term. After the presidential election is warmed up next year, the next year will be the time to separate the highest power in the United States.
So whether it is the ruling party or the opposition party, or for other aspiring politicians, the election of the Mayor of New York this year and the election of the New York City Councillors held during the same period are extremely critical elections.
Who can win a city here, the early presidential election that will start next year will be full of advantages.
The position of the Director of SHIELD at this stall is extremely important. Any politician who understands this organization knows how powerful SHIELD is.
They can easily find your traffic escape case 20 years ago. Or tax evasion 15 years ago. As long as SHIELD is willing, they can easily find out who any politician is eating with tonight.
What did you do after eating, were there any **** scandals that could break out or other dirty political transactions.
It can be said that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intelligence capability in this respect is far superior to fbi and cia. Moreover, compared with the other two organizations, S.H.I.E.D.L.L.'s structure is more independent and less affected by ordinary politicians.
Former Secretary Nick Fury is a person who is not very involved in politics, and he has never had any special goodwill towards any party. Because of his neutrality, SHIELD had never been involved in any political process for more than two decades.
But who can guarantee that the new Director of SHIELD will not participate in politics? Politicians always use the worst plan to calculate the problems they may face. After all, if they think according to their own ideas, it is a waste to not use such a good position.
Therefore, the position of the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been unresolved, and the security committee is full of real noise. Because not everyone can be like Nick, with a noble purpose, instead of confusing his eyes with the rights in front of him.
Therefore, Agent Hill's position as acting director can be said to be very firm within a certain period of time. Unless one day they suddenly reach a certain agreement or consensus, it is difficult to choose a person like Nick to be the director.
For most of the people who know Hill, this smart agent has a sharp mind that is not inferior to Nick Fury, so she can stay with Nick to work as an adjutant, knowing that her predecessor has done the longest Nick was kicked away in four months. Hill worked for ten years.
Even more commendable is that Agent Hill, like Nick, lacks interest in politics. She prefers to work on a step-by-step basis instead of ignoring those politics that are laborious and always as dirty as the quagmire.
Hill only realized that the various issues that Nick Fury had to deal with were more complicated than what she could see when acting as a lieutenant next to Nick Fury when she served as a lieutenant.
For example, what she is doing now, countless financial statements are piled up on the desk of her secretary ’s desk. These are all parts of the financial department waiting for her to sign for approval after processing.
But even so busy, when Captain Rogers asked to meet, she let Rogers in.
"It looks like you're a little busy, Hill." Rogers said in amazement as he looked at the stack of folders on the hill's desk as high as a hill.
"Yes, this kind of thing, that kind of thing. All sorts of clueless things." Hill said without looking up, she complained while reviewing the document. Because many things in the SHIELD are confidential, she has a lot of bitter water to vomit but she cannot find someone to vomit, and Captain Rogers, who just visited, looks like a good target.
"The Security Council has just rejected our mid-term budget." Hill said bitterly.
"What?" Rogers didn't respond for a moment.
"Our mid-term budget has been reduced, Captain." Hill's brow furrowed when he said this. "The budget set at the beginning of each year will always be insufficient due to various problems in the medium term."
"You know that our department is specialized in dealing with various emergency situations, so this phenomenon is normal. So we release a new budget plan in the middle of the year and submit it to the Security Council for approval."
"Our budget was cut to the captain. Now not only the mid-term budget is cut. Because of the arrest of Director Nick and various other reasons, even the budget we should get is the card owner." Hill couldn't help but press. Pressing her temple, she has a headache when it comes to money.
In Nick's time, SHIELD had never worried about funding. But once Hill started to take over S.H.I.E.L.D., she discovered that S.H.I.E.L.D. was a bottomless hole to burn money.
After the sky carrier is damaged, the scientific research department will never fill the funding gap. Disability retired agent pensions. There are also a variety of daily expenses, SHIELD is a gold-eating monster.
This giant organization that looks huge and full of dignity is stacked on countless dollars. If there are not enough dollars to follow up, this giant monster looks like a tiger.
"Reduce our budget? How much did they cut down." Rogers also knew the importance of a fund for an organization.
"The capital expenditure of S.H.I.E.L.D. is about US $ 100 billion a year, which is almost close to one-sixth of the total cost of the U.S. expenses. Ten thousand people or so. "Hill said with a frown.
"There are people in Congress who are not satisfied that SHIELD is occupying such a large amount of funds. So this time they almost abolished our quarter of the budget. And depending on the situation, next year's budget may continue to be reduced." Hill Very helpless.
"Are you saying that our budget began to be cut by 25 billion US dollars?" Rogers asked in surprise.
Anyone with common sense understands what it means for an organization to be abolished tens of billions of dollars in expenses. In particular, the huge gold-eating monster, which has only input and no output, lost its external financial support, and the organization can be dragged down by consumption alone.
"Yes, it's troublesome. SHIELD originally had some special income, but it was gone for various reasons." Hill said it was even more helpless.
"What special income." Rogers asked curiously.
"Special income from the vampire industry." Hill temporarily stopped reviewing the document. Her eyes were tired and she needed a break.
"Including previous vampires purchasing plasma from government blood banks and special taxes levied by industries of the vampire empire. Originally these industries could bring the government nearly $ 100 billion in hidden income each year."
"The S.H.I.E.L.D. board can also get a special budget of tens of billions of dollars here, but because of Nick's relationship. He completely wiped out the vampires in the United States, so this batch of income is gone."
The vampire incident happened before Rogers returned, he didn't know much about it, and he couldn't help blowing a whistle after hearing this information. "Nick must have broken many people's fortunes. I'm afraid someone would wish to kill him for this."
"Yeah, this is certain. The former vampires have become normal people. They refused to pay any extra taxes. It is impossible to pay an extra dime. So the funding gap of SHIELD is actually more than it seems. Be big. "Hill felt like he was going crazy.
"So Director Hill, what are you going to do now?" Rogers looked at Hill with concern.
"S.H.I.E.L.D. will stop serving free coffee and donuts from tomorrow," Hill said.
Rogers: "?"
"We have 150,000 employees, each person consumes nearly two dollars of coffee per day, and the consumption of donuts is also close to two dollars. For this item alone, we spend 219 million dollars per year. So from Starting tomorrow, all coffee and donuts will need to charge agents. "Hill said he could not help, and now every penny is important.
"Supply for supper is also going to be reduced. The price of the Sai Baiwei sandwich is a little expensive. In the future, I will replace it with Donald's Burger."
"Is that kind of one-dollar burger?" Rogers had eaten that stuff, and it didn't taste much.
"I have no way to captain. Now every penny is very important to us. There are also settings for air-conditioning and heating. In the future, the temperature must be adjusted to be energy-saving."
Rogers understood this sentence, probably in summer the air-conditioning is not cool, the winter heating is not hot.
"The large washing machine in the staff dormitory is not used for free, and it will be charged according to the time as the self-service laundromat outside. In addition, the monthly water, electricity and coal consumption standards for each staff dormitory shall be specified. "
"The dining method of the cafeteria also needs to be changed. In the future, you will no longer use the self-collection method. You will be equipped with a chef who prepares dishes. The chef ’s hands must not be too stable. They need to be shaken. Together, it can save us nearly a billion dollars in expenses each year. "Hill racked his brains thinking about ways to save money.
But Rogers heard a chill in the back. Is this not to cancel all employee benefits? Are these desperate agents hard to rebel?
"By the way, Captain, what are you looking for from me?" Hill thought about a lot of ways to save money. What did you do to find yourself?
"This, um." Rogers hesitated, because what he was about to say was also about money. He hesitated for a long time and spoke. "Okay, things are like this Hill. We lacked helpers in the last SHIELD prison incident."
"So Hawkeye made Wade, who was still in prison at the time, help him." Hill nodded and signaled that she knew about it.
"But Wade had a price when he shot, you know he is a mercenary. Everything is about the price. So Hawkeye Button promised him a million dollar reward at the time. So ..." Rogers has not said the following When he finished speaking, Hill was interrupted.
"Impossible, to dismiss, there is no room for negotiation. If Button sees me worth a million dollars, let him sell me and give the money to Wade!" Hill refused very directly, not at all Give Rogers a bargaining opportunity.
"I understand your difficulty, Hill, but Deadpool has found Barton's staff dormitory and sprayed red paint on the dung welding door to bargain for Barton." Captain Rogers is also desperate now. To be continued.
