Chapter 982
Before leaving, you have to take care of your own funeral...well, unfinished things... It seems that there are ambiguities in this sentence no matter how you say it, it means that anyway.
This matter actually refers to a person, a woman, Victoria Hand. This former senior agent of the SHIELD Agency has been in detention since he was brought in. It took time to get her immunity from the US government. It was not until recently that it was all done.
So the only problem facing now is to let this capable S.H.E.L.D. agent becomes an umbrella agent. But because Ereda Gemini is really busy these days, she has no time to educate her personally, so she has to let Evanson come.
"Evanson Richter, long time no see." After Hand was brought over, he saw Evanson sitting behind the desk. He was a little surprised, but he could not see this expression on his face. "And, I didn't expect to meet you here. You now have the Black Chamber service."
"Umbrella, this is the umbrella. You haven't heard of this name? It doesn't matter. But that's what you want to say? To your savior?" Evanson spread his hands and smiled. "You don't know yet? The plane escort Garrett, all of you are dead. Ward's hand was used to make a move. He was Hydra."
"What? Is it true?" Hand was finally moved when he heard the news.
"Of course it's true." Evanson nodded, and then smiled. "S.H.I.E.L.D. seems to be more riddled with holes than we thought. By the way, fortunately you didn't hand over the weapon to Ward after listening to my advice, otherwise the agents I sent would have to fish out your body from the sea."
"You knew Ward was a traitor..." Hand's expression returned to coldness, but his voice obviously suppressed anger. "But you didn't tell anyone."
"You know very well the management method of the ASCH. There are little secrets in the big secrets." Evanson tilted his head and smiled, "Some things cannot be said if they are not at the right time."
I am afraid of being alarmed, so I have other purposes? Victoria Hand certainly knows the way S.H.I.E.L.D., and there are at least ten legitimate reasons for such things. But what do I think about these things now? "Which was it at that time? Your agent found my plane. The agent could rescue everyone, but left my people on the plane and waited for death."
"To be honest, I really don't like you at all." Evanson curled his smile. "I saved you, but you didn't express your gratitude, but just blamed me for not saving others, as if I had any obligation to you. This is not a good quality."
"It is not a good quality to be unsuccessful when you can." Hand said tit-for-tat, "And, I don't like you either."
"Very good." Evanson clapped his hands, "then I can just talk about business."
"Do I have any business with you?" A stiff smile appeared on Hand's face. "I am an agent of SHIELD, and what are you now? Sorry, you are now the umbrella."
"But that's why there is business." Evanson looked at the time and smiled mysteriously. "The time for the press conference is up, do you want to see it?"
After saying that, without waiting for Hand to agree, he turned on the TV without saying a word. The picture shows a female reporter holding a microphone, and the background is the former headquarters of SHIELD, the Sanquyi Building.
"Not long ago, a terrible incident happened in this place. The world's largest intelligence organization suddenly collapsed. Hydra's terrorists almost realized their insidious plan. Fortunately, the Black Chamber Department and Captain America and others successfully defended the freedom of this world. Please thank them again."
"And today, this once secret building will usher in new changes."
As the female reporter said, the camera in the picture was closer. The huge eagle emblem that was once embedded on the wall outside the building was removed and replaced by a brand new logo, a red and white umbrella, and a string of English letters underneath.
During that turmoil, Samborra transferred all the huge funds of SHIELD's one year's budget and the US government's military expenditure equivalent to one year's military expenditure. Ereda Gemini bought the building with part of this money. Using SHIELD's money to buy the building is truly something that the demon can do.
Of course, although the Erida Gemini has bought this building, it has not been officially handed over yet. Because as the reporter said just now, the building is full of secrets, and people from the US government have to scramble in it for a while, but this does not prevent Erida Gemini from going over and recording a picture with a trademark.
"Umbrella, this suddenly rising coalition company bought the building and claimed that it would provide us with reliable security services. Now, let's interview two sensible people in this company, King Ada and King Kara."
Now the camera turns to the office on the top floor of the building, which is the one Nick Fury used to be, but at this time, the person sitting behind the desk was the human-like Ereda Gemini.
"First of all, we must understand one thing. S.H.E.L.D. and Hydra disappeared at the same time. This does not prove that we are safe. On the contrary, it just proves that danger is right around us. The security protection agency we trust is likely to be the source of danger. Therefore, this world and this country need security protection more than ever before."
Aurece, King Ada, finished these words very appropriately. The reporter in charge of the interview continued to ask, "I want to ask, it is also a question that everyone wants to know. Is there any difference between you and S.H.I.E.L.D?"
"The difference is that we will do better," Aurese said with a confident smile.
The reporter asked, "Why are you so sure?"
"Because we collect money," Saloras, King Kara said funnyly, "we are not government agencies, but private companies that cooperate with the government."
"So, are you making a profit?" The reporter asked this question very tricky.
"This is obvious." Saloras admitted generously. "We are a company and of course we need to make a profit, which is why we can guarantee to do better than S.H.E.L.D.."
"Because we know that the people are our customers and we collect money from customers, we must be responsible for the customers. After all, the customers are God, so we are not commanding the people, but the people are commanding us."
"So you are the waiters?"
"You can think so, but we provide security services, don't forget to tip." After saying that, Aures blinked playfully.
At this time, another reporter asked, "As far as I know, the umbrella is not as simple as a security organization. It is a huge joint enterprise, medical drugs, military industry, aerospace, and a series of cutting-edge technologies. You seem to have all been involved in these."
"That's right." Saloras said, "This is a beautiful world, but there is still room for progress, but when we have the ability to contribute to the progress of this world, why not?"
"But you still make money with these projects."
"Of course, companies need to make profits. There is no free lunch in the world. I think this is the axiom that this country agrees most."
"Then don't you think you should let advanced projects benefit more people?"
"Of course I want it, but this also requires the cooperation of the government." Saloras smiled. "We are a company, we are responsible for inventing and producing, and of course we also make money. Other issues are the government's problems. Paying attention to people's livelihood and allowing people to enjoy a better world. Isn't this the purpose of our choice of government?"
The Q&A was conducted and it was always so calm. This is normal, because it was impossible for Erida Gemini to be asked by several reporters, and have you forgotten that these two female demons had their own media? Now the media with the highest reputation in the limelight, they launched it. A large part of the reporters present belonged to this media, so... these questions were actually designed in advance.
Papa… Evanson clapped his hands and said in a move, "It's so good, I almost believe it. So, Ms. Hand, what do you think now?"
"I don't think much." Hand actually had a great touch in his heart. S.H.E.L.D.'s base camp has now become someone else's. This is really ironic, but fortunately, the sign of Hydra is not on it. "S.H.E.L.D. has never been a place, but an agent who strives for this ideal. The place where the agent is is S.H.E.L.D.."
"Where the leaves are flying, the flames will continue. Are you the will of the ASCHE? Hum." Evanson couldn't help rolling his eyes. "You have to know that SHIELD has been classified as an illegal organization now. It took us a lot of effort to get you immunity. If you turn around and get them together, that would be a pity."
"And you don't pretend to be so loyal. You have been desperate about SHIELD, aren't you? You came to my house with a gas tank on your back. If you weren't desperate, you would do that?"
"Okay." Hand sighed and said, "I'm desperate about SHIELD, but if I don't join them, it doesn't mean I must join you."
"Then what do you want to do?" Evanson snorted and said, "Do you know how many intelligence organizations want to throw you into the black prison? Even considering your immunity, you may need to wear an electronic bracelet for the rest of your life and spend the entire surveillance of agents. You may walk the wrong street and be pushed to the ground by a team of special forces."
"That kind of life is really bad." Hand curled his lips. After being an agent for most of his life, he suddenly became an agent at home and had to live a life similar to house arrest. She really didn't know if she could adapt. "I despair of SHIELD because I found that I was not serving SHIELD at all, but an organization full of conspiracy. Now you ask me to join this protective umbrella, how do I know what kind of organization it is?"
"Look with your eyes!" Evanson stood up and said, "The position we have prepared for you is the chief of operations, which means that all actions in our company are subject to specific command. This authority is a bit similar to... Maria Hill, I think this is enough to let you see what kind of company this is."
"Can you see clearly? I used to be a level 8 agent, but I couldn't see clearly SHIELD, Maria Hill. Has he seen clearly the changes in SHIELD?" Hand asked back, "The mission is all the agents, but not all the agents organization. Who can see clearly?"
"And as mentioned on TV just now, this company involves so many fields. With this strength, it is probably not much worse than Hydra or even stronger. Who can guarantee that you will not be the same as Hydra?"
"Well...this question." Evanson looked at the watch. "Yesterday...it was the day before yesterday, and I met Nick Fury. Don't be surprised, he was not dead. I discussed this with him, so I don't want to use it again with you, and now I'm in a hurry, so I'm going to be short."
"We have ambitions for this world, but they are different from Hydra." Evanson said affirmatively. "We don't want to rule this world, let alone dominate the way Hydra."
"Why trust you?"
"Because we don't care." Evanson smiled mysteriously. "To you, this world, the earth, seems to be everything, but to us... the earth is just a world in the nine realms of Asgard. An inconspicuous planet in the huge galaxy, a small particle of dust in the entire universe. What's the point of ruling it?"
"Look at who this is?" Evanson knew that she didn't believe it when he looked at Hand's expression, so he picked up the remote control and changed the camera to the TV. "With your permission in S.H.E.L.D., you should know her."
"She is..." Hand narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman wearing armor and holding a bottle of vodka Dunton in the picture. "Asgardian, Sif, yes, it's her. How could she be on Earth?"
"Come to find me." Evanson looked proud, but it was hard to remind people of the dying look he saw Sif a few hours ago. "I am a consultant, not only from S.H.E.L.D., but also the royal consultant of Asgard. We have cooperation with Asgard."
Don't believe it, my wife's house just contracted the construction of Odin's Palace in Earth. "And, if it weren't for you, I've accepted his invitation to Asgard to complete my consultation."
Bang, Evanson snapped his fingers at this time, and Hand heard a heavy footsteps, turned his head and opened his mouth in surprise. Eighteen tyrants and three women with standing masks walked in.
"This is the mercenary of our company." Evanson introduced, "But these mercenaries do not operate on Earth. They will go to the alien planet after being armed and will set off soon." Evanson waved his hand to let the tyrants retreat.
"When you are still focusing on this planet, our company has already moved to the universe. We know more than anyone else how many opportunities there are in the universe and how much benefits the universe can bring to us. A planet like Earth? We might be able to buy one."
"And according to the company's plan, we will land on Mars within five years to launch interstellar colonization. Is the earth really that important?"
"Is this true?" Victoria Hand was really shocked. If...I mean, if what this guy said is true, then... they seem to be the ones with the least ambition to rule the earth. People with the sea will not take a pearl in their eyes.
"If it's not true, why do you think the three major chaebols cooperate with us? Is it a fraud?!"
"Also, our interstellar colonization program was carried out in conjunction with Stark Enterprise, and he authorized us to use his robotics technology. If you don't believe it, I can also let you see the contract."
"So...my time is quite precious, what about your answer?"
Victoria Hand is re-estimating this company. This company has now entered the universe. Some of the advanced technologies they master may indeed be invented by them, but some of them may be obtained from aliens. So they rely on their monopoly on this channel to make money from the earth with alien technology. Isn’t this a dog comprador?
But money is not that important. This company has built such a big stall and cannot be purely for making money. They are opening up these technologies bit by bit. I have to say that this is a very rational approach. The development of technology is most afraid of the storm and the castles in the sky. Using too advanced and advanced technology can indeed make people happy, but the technological faults caused in the middle are extremely terrifying. Human technology may go to the wrong path, and cannot move forward after reaching a certain length, and even need to be pushed back and started over.
Therefore, for win-win, this company has obtained resources and funds from the earth, but it has indeed driven the progress of human science and technology.
Then do you have anything else to hesitate about? "I agree."
"Great." Evanson took out two major contracts and put them on the table. "I'm in a hurry. Just sign these two contracts on the table. There are still 30-year contracts to die. In short, it will be more than 2077. Or you are in an internship period, and there are no bonuses or wages during this period, only basic living allowances. Our company adopts statutory holidays, but it's best to work overtime. If you don't have overtime pay, we will thank you very much..."
