"Congressman Wang, if you are in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D. from now on, people like us can rest easy."
"There is a dance at my place tonight, and all the business tycoons are here. Congressman Wang, please come with us if you have time."
Seeing Wang Xu come in, all the MPs present stood up and stepped forward to shake hands with him.
With disbelief in his eyes, Fury asked breathlessly: "You are going to hand over SHIELD to him. Do you know who he is?"
"Let me introduce myself again, Wang Xu, the person in charge of the Future Support Plan and a California state legislator. Last night, the Senate formally voted to allow me to replace the resigned Senator John Lun and become one of the two California senators to enter the Senate.
one."
The Senate is the core of American power and is called the House of Lords. Together with the House of Commons, the House of Representatives, they form the upper and lower houses of the United States.
Every state, regardless of size, has two senators.
It can be said that becoming a senator means entering the core of American politics, and the House of Representatives is just a tool for them.
"We meet again, Director Fury!"
Wang Xu held Fury's hand and whispered: "Enjoy your retirement life, I will be in charge of SHIELD from now on."
"I haven't signed yet!" Fury's eyes were cold, and he looked at Wang Xu with a look that made him want to eat him.
From the sudden meeting to the issuance of the resignation document, Fury was always passive.
He believed that there must be a dirty deal involved, otherwise it would be impossible to dismiss him so rashly and appoint an unknown person as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
It's just that he has no right to object. With the five big senators coming forward together and the secret support of the President, even the Secretary of Defense has to get out.
Although S.H.I.E.L.D. is an independent agency, it is anchored in the big tree of the United States. Unless it rebels, it can only follow orders.
"Sign it, Director Fury, you are a man of honor and you don't want to be thrown out." Wang Xu saw Fury's reluctance, but he didn't have any sympathy.
Fury has been in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D. for nearly thirty years, and Wang Xu cannot make drastic reforms without kicking him out.
Moreover, his next step is to use cyborgs to replace the management of SHIELD. If Fury is not out, it is hard to say whether he will notice anything with his keen observation.
"We'll see!"
Fury picked up a pen and signed the resignation document, and then left the office without looking back.
Wang Xu watched him leave until he could no longer see this person, and said: "You continue to maintain stability and secretly replace all high-level government personnel with our people."
"Yes." The five congressmen lowered their heads. Unfortunately, Fury did not see this scene at all.
The next day, S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Hello everyone, my name is Wang Xu. I think everyone has received the news when I came. Yes, Director Fury has officially resigned. From now on, I will serve as the third director of S.H.I.E.L.D. to lead you to a new era.
of brilliance.”
On Roosevelt Island, inside the bunker below, the conference hall that could accommodate hundreds of people was densely packed with agents.
S.H.I.E.L.D. is a very large organization. Every city has a S.H.I.E.L.D. office. Based on the prosperity of the city, the number of members ranges from three to five to as many as 20 or 30, with hundreds of branch directors.
Wang Xu stood on the podium and looked at the branch director below and the heads of various departments in the headquarters.
Today was the first time for many people to see him. Everyone sat down in groups of twos and threes and discussed. Although no one dared to stand up to object, they did not show their welcome to him.
"I know that many of you have heard rumors outside and think that I am not a qualified SHIELD director and am not qualified to lead you elite agents. But I want to tell you that the first element of an agent is to obey orders. Now I just
This is Director SHIELD, the person who holds your future, so don’t make me angry."
When Wang Xu said this, the discussion below disappeared.
No one grew up drinking the northwest wind. Even if they are dissatisfied, no one dares to joke about their own future.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Wang Xu nodded slightly and continued: "In the short term, everyone will still perform their duties, and I will not adjust your positions for the time being. Even starting from this month, everyone's salary will increase by 20%.
, the disability allowance has increased by 30%, this is my explanation to you as the director."
bang bang bang bang
The audience burst into warm applause. No one can fight against money. Increases in wages and benefits are undoubtedly what these people like to hear most.
Some branch directors who were not die-hard supporters of Fury looked at Wang Xu with more kindness.
What kind of leader is considered a good leader? A leader like Fury who has strict plans and measures of rewards and punishments.
Wang Xu, with his hands and eyes, can be considered one of them who can bring benefits to them.
We all serve as soldiers and eat food, and we don’t just listen to whose orders we are, why should we have to quarrel with the current director over a former director who left?
"Each branch director should go back first and tell your team members the good news. In addition, unless something big happens in the future, I will use video communication to meet with you. Try to avoid the situation where all the leaders come to the meeting and the subordinate branches are leaderless."
Wang Xu paused slightly when he said this, and looked at the three people sitting at the front: "Agent Coulson, Agent Hill, and Agent Meester, you three stay."
Hundreds of branch directors and captains of various action teams left one after another, leaving only Wang Xu in the empty scene.
Wang Xu compiled his speech, nodded slightly to the three of them, and walked towards the office without looking back.
His office was the same one as Fury's before. The only difference was that the portrait hanging on the wall changed from Fury's to Wang Xu's.
"Sit" Wang Xu sat on the chair behind the desk and pointed to the sofa in the room.
When all three people sat down, he put his hands on the table and said, "Hill, how many people do we have now?"
"Thirty-one thousand people, of which 17,000 are peripheral members, scattered in branches across the country. Five thousand are overseas personnel, responsible for providing us with intelligence, or responsible for overseas strongholds. The headquarters currently has 600 civilian personnel.
There are 2,400 combatants. Another 6,000 are from the Marine Brigade directly under our command located on Cape Ke Island."
Through Hill's introduction, Wang Xu had a general impression of SHIELD's strength.
No wonder S.H.I.E.L.D. is so arrogant. It has 30,000 combat personnel and enjoys a certain degree of independence. It can launch a war in Iraq.
"Agent Coulson, does the command of the headquarters combat force rest with you?"
"Yes, do you need me to hand it over?"
Coulson was promoted by Fury. In his mind, when the new director takes over, he must be the first to kick him out.
"unnecessary."
Wang Xu shook his head slightly. His gaze was not limited to SHIELD, nor was it limited to what was in front of him.
The evil god Dormammu's peek, the invasion of aliens, the melee in Asgard, the threat of Thanos, plus all kinds of super villains, ordinary people don't play a big role in it.
Wang Xu took over S.H.I.E.L.D., firstly for the Cosmic Cube, and secondly, to put on a legal tiger skin for himself to make it easier to deal with superheroes.
Coulson's combat team was a violent organization in front of the people. In Wang Xu's view, it was just a small team that cleaned the battlefield and evacuated the crowd.
In a few days, these branch directors and combat team leaders will be directly replaced with clones. No one can command these people except him, and it makes no difference whether they take away their power or not.
As for Colson and Hill, Wang Xu has no intention of replacing them.
These two are his favorite movie characters, with good abilities and actions, and he plans to conquer them if possible.
"I have just taken over as director, and I have only one requirement for you, and that is stability. I like stability, and any surprises are intolerable to me. Fury has become a thing of the past. Although it may be difficult, but
You should try to forget him, after all"
Wang Xu pointed to his chair and said with a smile: "I am the one sitting here!"
"Director, this is the seventh team guarding the entrance to the headquarters. Hawkeye is packing his luggage and leaving. There are several elite agents with him."
Before Wang Xu could continue, the guard's voice came over the communication.
Wang Xu frowned slightly, pressed the communication button, and asked, "What are they going to do?"
"Hawkeye said that he is Fury's special intelligence agent and does not belong to SHIELD. Now that Fury is gone, he should leave too."
"They are just minor characters, don't worry about them."
Wang Xu hung up the communication. People like Hawkeye were just minor players. Since they still wanted to hang out with Fury, let them go find Fury.
After handling this small matter, Wang Xu turned to look at Hill and the other two, and said: "You go out, and don't forget to appease people when you go back. In addition, tomorrow morning, I want to see you talking to the subordinate branch directors, and
Analysis reports from the captains of each action team."
Coulson and Hill looked at each other, neither of them said anything, and turned and left the office.
After the two left, Mace, who was the deputy director, stood up and said softly: "Director, after Fury retires, he still wants to recruit people from SHIELD. What does he want to do, set up a new SHIELD?"
?I suggest that Fury be arrested immediately to never give him a chance to realize his ambitions."
Wang Xu didn't speak, just tapped his fingers lightly.
Fury has been in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D. for more than 30 years and has a large team within S.H.I.E.L.D., so letting him leave safely seems like a failure.
This is a person who is unwilling to be lonely. Although Wang Xu doesn't care about Fury, he has no interest in scheming with minor characters and letting a little bug bother him.
"Go and investigate Fury's whereabouts. If he goes to Australia to raise cows, you don't have to worry about him. If he doesn't want to be lonely."
Wang Xu paused slightly and said softly: "Do it cleanly."
