but……

Lake wants no more. After all, 10 billion yuan per year already accounts for one-seventh of the Department of Homeland Security's annual budget, and this is still a department that doesn't even have a shelves to build.

If there are more of this, other persons in charge will have opinions.

Let’s talk about it.

At present, S.H.I.E.L.D. still has a certain effect. Although Secretary Kelly wants to use this super bureau investigation to replace S.H.E.L.D., it is not now. It doesn’t even have a headquarters. What can I find someone?

Secretary Kelly said as Lake left: "I'll give you two years, one hundred billion, get the headquarters well, and you can find yourself a deputy."

When Lake heard this, he touched his chin and turned to look at Secretary Kelly: "Can I dig S.H.I.E.L.D?"

Minister Kelly said: "As long as you are sure that this matter will not be leaked, I don't want to go to Congress or be summoned to court by the Supreme Court."

Lake nodded: "I understand."

If you want to build a new department, just have a new department.

There is also a lot of oil and water in the new department. Of course, this oil and water are meaningless to Lake now, but what if the upgraded system soars directly to $10 million and once every time.

It is better to plan ahead than to make up for the sheep.

When Lake first heard Secretary Kelly's words, what appeared in his mind was Maria Hill, the current deputy director of SHIELD.

but……

Lake thought about Maria Hill's character and Minister Kelly's warning, and gave up decisively.

Maria Hill is very principled.

Lake appreciates this very much, but it is just a matter of not working together. Moreover, now that Maria Hill has been poached, there is no doubt that if Hydra discovers this, they will know if they will be anxious.

never mind.

If you have a chance in the future, it’s not too late to dig.

It's David Bass now.

David also has the ability, and, in terms of principle, he knows what necessary choices are, so that he will not do everything according to the rules like Maria Hill.

After leaving the Department of Homeland Security, Lake returned to Rachel's apartment. After all, the boss of the first boss gave such a secret task. It would be reasonable to take some time to plan this matter with a paid leave.

so……

Lake stayed until 2006.

On Christmas 2005, Lake flew to Paris with Rachel and Skye and spent it with Ambassador Karen Ross. After Christmas, Lake and Skye flew back to New York, while Rachel took Helen back to Washington.

Mia and Brian have also settled down in Washington, so Lake is not worried about Rachel's work and taking care of Helen. After all, the annual salary of 60,000 is not for Mia.

When Lake brought Skye back to New York, it was still snowing in New York.

February 1st.

Lake returns to the New York Land Building.

Assistant Tiffany looked at Lake who was walking in with French fries, and blinked cutely.

Lake smiled and said, "My dear assistant, have you missed me in my absence?"

Tiffany quickly put away the fries, then heard Lake's joke and nodded: "Yes, sir, I thought I had been forgotten by you."

She even made a calculation a few days ago. In 2005, the New York State supervisor worked for no more than forty-five days, and this was the sum of the time it was often seen. After all, sometimes he just showed his face and got off work.

Deputy Director David Bass also came out of his office when he heard the voices outside.

There is no doubt.

Bass was also surprised to see Lake, who had disappeared for nearly a whole year, appear again.

In the office.

Bass looked at Lake who walked towards the wine cabinet as soon as he entered the door and said, "I'm beginning to doubt whether there is no supervisor in New York State."

Lake took out Bourbon, which had been one more year, turned around and looked at Bass who had worked hard and worked hard to sort out the bureau in the past year and did not worry him at all, and smiled and said, "Bass, are you interested in starting from scratch with me?"

Bass frowned: "What?"

He thought Lake was going to leave and enter the Washington system. After all, the Ross family had this resource.

Lake walked to his desk, took out documents about the Super Bureau from the bag he just brought, and handed them to Bath: "This was proposed by the Minister when I went to Washington last year."

Bass took the document, sat aside, and looked at it.

Lake sat aside, drinking his little wine with peace of mind. The task given by the boss at the beginning was also started. Last year, Lake could be said that 10 billion yuan was not enough. This year's 10 billion yuan allocation was also received a few days ago, and he was quietly lying in his account.

quite a while.

After reading the information, Bass looked up at Lake: "This is a conflict with the functions of some departments."

Lake had known that Bass would say this long ago, because he asked that, so how did Secretary Kelly answer him? Lake answered Bass in his original words.

Bass nodded, not saying anything.

Lake said: "How is it? Are you interested in coming to this bigger stage."

At the moment they are just the Department of Homeland Security in New York, but after the establishment of this new Supervisory Bureau, there is no doubt that jurisdiction can be directly expanded to the entire federal government.

Although it is still in the system of the Department of Homeland Security, in terms of position, it is already of the same nature as the Secret Service, which is under the jurisdiction of the Department of Homeland Security but is independent.

Bass looked at Lake speechlessly: "You want to continue to let me help you with your work."

Lake did not deny: "But, I did not take your credit for myself, didn't I?"

Bass smiled helplessly.

This is true.

Last year, Lake was reported to the New York State Department of Homeland Security, and the whole story was written by Deputy Director David Bass. This report was handed over by Lake himself.

To be honest.

If Lake was the kind of person who didn't work but still earned credit, David Bass probably would have stopped working a year ago.

After a while.

Bass nodded.

Seeing this, Lake shook hands at Bass: "Well, I wish us a happy cooperation?"

Bass stood up and shook hands: "Chief Edwin."

Lake smiled and said, "Deputy Director Bass."

After making fun of it.

Bass successfully entered the work status of the Supervisory Bureau preparation: "Where is our headquarters in New Jersey?"

Lake shook his head: "New Jersey is not thinking about it, just New York!"

The same sentence.

For high-end law enforcement agencies, the first step is that the location of the headquarters must also be in line with high-end and elegant personality. Which high-end agency will place its headquarters in the countryside.

Bass frowned: "New York, don't say whether there is any place, just say there is. Are you planning to use up your 20 billion budget?"

Lake smiled mysteriously.

After a while.

The map of New York is projected onto the wall.

Lake pointed to a place on the map and said, "I plan to put it here."

Bass looked at: "Gardenas Island?"

Gardners Island, located east of Long Island, New York, north of East Hampton, is located in the Long Island Strait, but has a cross-sea bridge connecting to East Hampton.

The island is not large in size, but it is definitely not small. It is more than enough to accommodate a headquarters, an airport and a port. By the way, it can also bring a series of leisure and entertainment such as golf courses.

Bass used a tablet to read out the information about Gardners Island, then took a look and said to Lake: "This island used to belong to the Franklin Mint, but it was bought by Stark Industry ten years ago. Now ten years have passed, and our 20 billion is probably not enough."

Lake nodded and looked at Bath: "I know, so, I'm going to talk to Tony Stark in a few days."

Even if the land is invested?

This super check is used to compete with S.H.E.L.D. Anyway, the Hulk is unlikely to be poached by S.H.E.L.D. Since that's the case, I'd rather just dig Tony Stark out.

"Are you sure?"

"No."

Bass said: "I thought you were sure."

Lake shrugged: "I was sure of this the year before yesterday, but last year, I didn't contact Tony for the whole year last year."

After all, the revenge has been avenged.

Bucky Barnes can’t die anymore, and so many of them have died. Who knows which of them is? When Lake came back last year, he actually called Tony Stark, and Tony Stark did not pursue the fact that he must live to see people and bodies.

Tony saw that scene as he turned himself into a mass-produced model.

But since then.
