11. Incompetent Kohler
"boom"
Accompanied by a bumpy vibration, at dawn, a plane carrying Fury and his group landed at Kennedy International Airport.
Due to the special mission, after the plane was stable, several black cars quickly drove into the airport. In just a few minutes, Merlin sat in an extended car, with Patton and Natasha sitting in the car behind, a disguised escort truck.
In front of Merlin, a female agent he had never seen before was talking to Fury.
"First of all, congratulations on completing what even Ms. Carter was unable to do, Chief Fury."
The female agent looks about 27 or 8 years old and looks very capable. What is more noticeable is that the female agent's long black hair is mixed with strands of burgundy hair, which makes her look serious and has a touch of playful feeling. Paired with a pair of black glasses, she unexpectedly has a unique majesty.
And Fury is very familiar with this female agent.
"Victoria, I'm also surprised. You, who have always been very busy, will welcome us today."
Fury leaned against his seat, holding a bottle of water in his hand, and he looked at the female agent in front of him, and he said:
"Is something happening?"
The female agent glanced at Merlin, as if she was considering the existence of the newcomer. Fury waved his hand and said to Victoria:
"Merlin is trustworthy. He is a newcomer recommended by Ms. Carter, and in this operation, he has proved his worth. Merlin, an Agent Victoria Hand, a senior agent of the Strategic Science Legion, is the intelligence officer of the base camp and one of my friends."
"Hello, Ms. Victoria."
Merlin sat aside, trying to reduce his presence. He greeted Agent Hand and then picked up a magazine, seemingly unwilling to listen to the communication between the two.
"Oh well."
Hand made a gesture, and the agent driving in front pressed the button, and the car raised the baffle in front and back to isolate all the sounds. After all, the female agent's expression became solemn, and she said to Fury:
"Sir Fury, just the day after you left New York, Kohler took over the base camp and the Academy of Secretariat. On behalf of Congress, he announced the abolition of the Strategic Science Legion and replaced it with an organization called the Strategic Danger Intervention and Intelligence Logistics."
Fury seemed to know what Hand wanted to say, and he was not surprised at all. He drank a sip of water and said to his two subordinates:
"I knew this half a month in advance. There is no need to worry that Kohler, who can be taken over by him, is all marginal departments, and the real key departments of the Strategic Science Legion, and they are still in our hands."
"Agent Felix was transferred to the 'sandbox' base three months ago. Agent Garrett's union continues to stick to the European branch. Agent Streton will stay at the Besseda Medical Base. Colonel Robert will be temporarily unemployed, but he will have important positions in the future."
"As for the Secret Service Academy, if you lose it, it will be lost. The Secret Service Academy, which has an old system and a backward concept, will be demolished anyway."
A trace of splendor flashed in Fury's eyes, and he said in a deep voice:
"The new Agent Academy will be re-established in the future, and Agent Weaver is running for this. As for you, Hand, you have received the transfer order, right?"
"Um."
Agent Victoria Hand nodded, she took out a piece of paper from her pocket, glanced at it, and said to Fury:
"I would like to think I was exiled by Kohler, but now it seems that these should be the arrangement you left in advance. Chief Fury, you are so cunning."
"This can't be called cunning, Victoria."
Fury sighed and said:
"The CIA and the National Security Agency, and even the Secret Service, believe that the existence of the Strategic Science Legion is unnecessary. They think we occupy too many resources, and those resources should have been allocated to them. So they are always looking for opportunities to completely dismember our sudden end of the Cold War, giving them a great opportunity."
"Ms. Carter and Chief Pierce realized this very early. They had done a lot of work, and all I did was to finish their work. But the next period was destined to be difficult for all of us. Kohler was just a pawn who was pushed to the table by our colleagues. His only purpose was to split us from the core and bury us."
"We have to act low-key, Victoria."
Fury said to the female agent in front of him:
"You send me a message to our former companions to lie dormant. Don't show your head rashly before the time comes. Pierce has successfully entered the World Security Council. I believe that he will soon find an opportunity to defeat all this malicious encirclement against us."
"Um."
Agent Hand nodded, she breathed a sigh of relief and said to the chief:
"The few days before you were gone, it was really panic. Kohler was arrogant. He claimed in public that Pierce was an incompetent commander and tried to slander Ms. Carter, but after being resisted by the excited agents several times, Kohler also learned his lesson. He began to use some tricks to clear the senior agents who were unwilling to obey him, either clear or transfer them to a remote location."
Agent Hand looked at Fury secretly and whispered:
"There is also bad news about you, Chief Fury."
"Um?"
Fury raised his head and looked at his subordinates. Agent Hand lowered his voice and said to Fury:
"After taking office, Kohler abolished the agent selection criteria set by Ms. Carter. He announced that the Strategic Danger Intervention and Intelligence Logistics Department will use a brand new agent classification. Kohler divided the agent into levels 1-6, representing the agent's abilities, qualifications and official positions respectively."
"He shamelessly designated himself as the first level 6 agent, his close friends were designated level 4-5, and those agents who were unwilling to follow him were all designated level 3 below."
"And you, Chief Fury, you are now a civilian agent of the Strategic Danger Intervention and Intelligence Logistics Department. You are not allowed to perform field tasks without permission, and your office has been moved from the top to the underground floor. Even your car has been recycled. Kohler is deliberately humiliating you, Chief Fury, he is forcing you to leave, there is no doubt."
"He thinks beautifully!"
Fury said disdainfully and viciously, like a lion who was completely angry, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"The Strategic Science Legion is our organization! That waste can't just take it away! I want to see who can really laugh to the end!"
More than ten minutes later, the vehicle stopped in front of a towering building in the Manhattan area. Fury and Merlin opened the door and walked out. Fury gave the opportunity to Agent Hand in the car:
"Natasha Romanov can't be handed over to Kohler, that bastard will definitely kill her as soon as possible. I'll hand her over to you now, Victoria, you take her to the Isle of Island Prison for review first, and Agent Patton will assist you there first. Be sure to protect Natasha. She has a great hope to become a member of us and become the best action expert in our hands."
"No problem, leave it to me, sir."
Agent Hand responded, and the convoy turned around and headed towards the outskirts of New York City.
Watching them leave, Merlin reached out and pulled his baseball cap, and he said to Fury with a helpless look on his face:
"Sir, you have been demoted. Now you are just a small third-level civil agent. Your office and car are gone. Does this mean that the car and task you promised to give me are also ruined?"
"No!"
Fury took out the toad mirror from his pocket and buckled it on his face, and he said to Merlin:
"You continue your mission, don't come to the base camp during this period, so as not to notice that guy Kohler will notice you. I'll find you a good partner and I'll go to you tomorrow, so you don't have to worry about your salary. The task has been approved by Pierce himself, so Kohler has no way to stop it. As for the car that promised to come with me!"
Fury turned around and walked into the office building of the base camp with murderous aura. He took the elevator and went straight into the lowest parking lot.
Merlin followed him around the parking lot for a while and finally found Fury's car, but the car had been locked with a lock.
Fury took off his eyes, reached out and touched his car. After a moment, he turned around and shook Merlin.
Meilin smiled knowingly, stepped forward, took a deep breath, and kicked the lock on the wheel. The power strengthened by the super serum made the lock break in response to the sound.
Fury took a hammer, smashed the window, pulled the car keys out of the driver's seat, and threw them to Merlin. He threw the hammer aside, clapped his hands, and said to Merlin:
"This car belongs to you, drive away!"
"What about you?"
Merlin threw his bag into the car, he looked back at Fury, and Fury snorted and said in a cold tone:
"I went up and talk to my 'old friend' Kohler."
"So, who is this Kohler?"
Merlin poured the car out while chatting with Fury through the broken car glass:
"I see that you and Agent Hand looked very disdainful of him. Is he your opponent?"
"Opportune? No, he is not worthy!"
Fury explained with an upset look:
"Korel is also an old agent. He has been working for the CIA, but compared to his ability to speculate, his ability in the field of agents is awful. Koler has a famous nickname in the intelligence community, called "The Incompetent". The most famous thing he has ever done was in 1968 when he claimed that he had stole a top-secret piece of intelligence from the Soviet government."
"For his so-called intelligence, our agents and Soviet agents fought in Crimea, which almost led to a war, and almost made the Cold War into a hot war. It was the most likely time that the balance between the two sides was broken since the Cuban missile crisis in 1962. But in fact, what's wrong with Kohler's so-called intelligence is meaningless, at least not as useful as he claimed."
"By relying on his intelligence, we caught seven spies in Europe, but for this, we lost more than 100 intelligence personnel."
After talking about the "glorious history" of the incompetent Kohler, Fury said with some disdain:
"This is simply a shame on others, but Kohler claimed that he had made contributions to national security. He was very good at ease and even avoided the trial of the military court. After more than ten years of dormant, he was found by others. This time, he came specifically for the strategic science legion. That was a real idiot! A self-righteous madman!"
"Then why does he hate you so much?"
Merlin asked again:
"He even disliked to tear his face apart, and even took your position away, and humiliated you so unconventional."
"He doesn't hate me, Merlin."
Fury sighed and explained to Merlin:
"The people behind him want to defeat Alexander Pierce, who is my former chief. Pierce has now entered the World Security Council. Many people are staring at that position, but they are not able to directly attack Pierce, so they target me. Once I get any defects and stains, they will directly involve Pierce."
"so what?"
Merlin asked:
"Did you just keep holding it up like this?"
"A sharp counterattack requires an opportunity, Merlin."
Fury said:
"And opportunities won't fly by themselves, we have to look for them patiently. When Kohler reveals his strength, he will overturn him in one fell swoop! But these things have nothing to do with you. On the current list of Strategic Danger Interventions and Intelligence Logistics, you are just an inconspicuous first-level field agent. Do your own work, Merlin, the list you are about to produce is very important."
"Okay, I get it."
Merlin put on her sunglasses and waved to Fury, saying:
"Then take care of yourself! Once I find out, I will contact you immediately."
"No!"
Fury stopped Merlin's words, and he handed a note to Merlin with an address on it, and he said:
"You keep in touch with me in a single line. If you find any information, go to this address to find me and be careful not to be followed by others."
"Don't worry! I have confidence in this regard."
Merlin twisted the car keys, and the Ford roared and rushed out of the parking lot with Merlin.
The roar of the car and the sound of the broken lock attracted two other agents. When Fury left the parking lot, the two guys in suits and tie blocked Fury's eyes. They said to Fury seriously:
"Agent Free, you have no right to destroy the seized public property! This kind of vandalism requires"
"You mean, are you going to punish me?"
Fury rudely interrupted the agent in front of him, and he took a step forward, and his 1.9-meter-high body pressed over like a wall. He stretched out his finger and pointed it at the agent's chest. He paused word by word, and said with murderous aura:
"Let Kohler tell me this!"
"If he has anything to say to me, let him come in person! Instead of sending two meaningless pawns!"
The two young men were frightened by Fury's momentum, and they didn't dare to say anything more.
After all, what they saw was not only an excellent agent commander, but also a former elite soldier, a real veteran who had wandered between life and death many times.
Even though Kohler has demoted Fury, everyone in this building knows that Nick Fury is the real boss here.
“Where is my office?”
Fury asked with a gloomy face. An agent pointed to the roof of the building tremblingly. Fury glared at him, then walked into the elevator with a swagger.
The moment the elevator closed, Fury cursed to himself:
“Strategic Danger Intervention and Intelligence Logistics Department?”
Chapter completed!
