Nick Fury picked up a few sugar cubes from the side, dropped them into his tea, and then had Jorge add hot milk before resuming his tea.
He was still used to the English way of drinking tea, brewing it directly with boiling water. It wasn't that he couldn't drink it, but he didn't like the taste.
“If it weren't for you, I would definitely have pushed Coulson to the position of director. Although his abilities are not bad, they are still slightly insufficient. If I were there to support him from behind, he should be able to barely hold up this framework, but now Coulson is just an alternative.”
“Neither the White House nor the Security Council would want my people to sit in that position, because that would mean everything is still the same as before. But you are different. You are the most outstanding capitalist in recent years, with no problem in terms of ability, and also a first-class scientist and inventor, in their eyes, like someone who created . in the beginning.”
Qingshui did a quick search in his mind and uttered a name.
“Howard Stark?”
“Correct.”
Nick Fury nodded.
Qingshui tapped the table lightly with his fingers, beginning to think.
Undoubtedly, if he could sit in the position of Director of ., even a . that had been through the Hydra crisis and was reorganized after being broken, that position could still bring considerable luck to himself.
Qingshui looked at Nick Fury and said.
Just as Nick Fury said, he would not give anyone 100% trust.
Towards a guy like the one in front of him, who is not only black on the outside, but also black all the way through after being dissected, Qingshui can only try to trust him to a limited extent, and make multiple contingency plans for the subsequent development of things, leaving a backup plan.
This is the most prudent way. The bat next door, also wearing black clothes, has always done the same.
He doesn't believe that there is such a good thing as a pie falling from the sky. If there is, then there will definitely be a price to pay.
“I have the confidence, but you also have to fight for it yourself. Your identity can borrow the power of the military and the military-industrial complex. The president owes you a favor. As long as this matter does not cause substantial damage to his interests, he will also push you up, because in this way, he will have a political ally, a political ally who is a super capitalist, a military-industrial group, a medical spokesperson, and holds the identity of the Director of ..”
“Yes, he owes you a favor. As long as you pay back this favor, there will be an exchange of interests between you, and political cooperation. Then, in everyone's eyes, you will be a substantial alliance.”
“In addition, I also have certain relationships and connections. As long as you don't perform too badly, external resistance can be overcome.”
Qingshui looked at Nick Fury expressionlessly.
“I don’t need you to teach me how to do things. You should also know that what I want to hear is not these things that can be figured out with a little analysis.”
Nick Fury was not surprised that he couldn't fool Qingshui.
If he could be fooled so easily, how would he dare to ask Qingshui to be the director?
“Hill, Coulson, Steve, and Natasha, one level nine deputy director, three level eight high-level officials, they will all support you, help you get internal support, and sit firmly in the position of Director of ..”
Nick Fury's words had hidden meanings.
With the support of these four people, he can do a good job as the director, so what if there is no support?
That is to say, if he wants to sit in this position, he has to rely on these four people to be able to sit firmly.
Nick Fury meant that if he wants to become the Director of ., regardless of whether . is reorganized, he cannot bypass these four people led by Captain America.
Must he rely on these four people?
Perhaps not necessarily, but Nick Fury did look very confident. The feedback from the Mind Stone on his chest did indeed show that Nick Fury was not lying.
But if he has to rely on these people to mobilize the core power of ., then what is the difference from when Nick Fury was the director before?
If he wants to do something and get rid of constraints, he has to invest a lot of things.
Nick Fury's real candidates are probably just a few.
Hill and Coulson are Nick Fury's hardcore direct descendants within ., and he should trust them the most in his heart.
But obviously, because they are former high-level personnel of ., it is already good enough to stay in . and continue to hold their previous positions. If they want to become the director, I am afraid that the Security Council and the White House will not agree.
Because that is no different from continuing to let Nick Fury be the director.
Otherwise, he can only transfer . underground and secretly reorganize it.
And the remaining two people both have great influence in the military, political, and other circles of the United States. They are both super-rich, scientists, and inventors in people's eyes, and can bring huge changes to . in terms of wealth, science and technology, and influence in all circles, just like Howard Stark, one of the founders of ..
Nick Fury can only choose one of the two.
Tony Stark does have the ability to serve as the director, but he is too emotional. He seems to be cynical and suave, but in fact, he is loyal and sincere to others.
Although he is very smart and not easily deceived, once he is really deceived, then it will be a big deal.
He is fully capable of taking on the position of Director of ., and even more important positions, and he will definitely do a good job.
But his character, his sense of justice, and his overly strong sense of responsibility, destined him not to be suitable for sitting in those positions.
Tony Stark can become a great hero, but he will not become a dark-minded, ruthless, dirty, and unscrupulous politician or bureaucrat.
Obviously, Nick Fury thinks Qingshui can be.
“It seems that you want to play the trick of borrowing a chicken to lay an egg. Did you just learn this trick from Hydra? Relying on them to sit in the position of director, then the power that belongs to the director, is it in my hands, or in yours? I don't want to spend time and energy to rebuild ., and not get any benefits.”
Qingshui said to Nick Fury.
“I think this is not a problem for you.”
Nick Fury looked at Qingshui and said.
Judging others by himself, he felt that if Klier Water was really the same kind of person as himself, Qingshui would definitely agree.
Because they are all very confident in their abilities and have the confidence to get what they want from it.
“I agree.”
What Qingshui thought was really not as complicated as Nick Fury thought.
Becoming the Director of . means there is luck to be gained, so why not?
Even if he doesn't do a good job as the director, he won't suffer any losses.
He was still the super-rich, the big capitalist, the inventor in people's eyes, still a member of the ruling class in America, and still held a high position in this capitalist society.
The extraordinary power constructed by his magic and ninjutsu would not diminish in the slightest.
So what else was there to hesitate about?
For him, whether or not to be the director was just the difference between a plus sign or an equals sign.
"But I have one more condition."
Nick Fury continued to say to Shimizu.
"What condition?"
"In order to prevent incidents like this Hydra invasion, I want to form a new team as a branch of ., called Shadow ., as a mirror to ., to prevent accidents from happening. As a last line of defense, it can also do things that . cannot do. After all, . is ultimately an organization directly responsible to the Security Council. While it has great power, it is also subject to constraints."
Shimizu understood now.
Nick Fury chose to have both methods. He wanted to reorganize . on the surface and build another one in secret.
This was Nick Fury's real purpose.
During his years as Director of ., he had been constrained by the Security Council and various top forces in the world. Although he was skilled, he had embezzled a lot of money and secretly built many secret bases as a backup.
This was also one of the important reasons why he was still able to retain a certain amount of strength to make a comeback after faking his death.
If Shimizu, as the Director of ., was on the surface, and Nick Fury was the leader of Shadow ., he would no longer have to endure these many restrictions.
His only restriction was Shimizu, the director, and obviously, Nick Fury believed that Shimizu could not restrict him, and even had to help him hide the existence of Shadow ..
There were no mistakes, one head, one hair, one inside, one content, one looking, one looking!
What would happen specifically depended on the outcome of the two people's future struggles.
Whether Nick Fury would not be restricted by Shimizu and seize Shimizu's power within ., or Shimizu would be able to seize power and control Nick Fury's Shadow ..
Shimizu's biggest advantage was that his foundation was different from Nick Fury's, and it was not in ..
Even if the Security Council had restrictions, he could still bypass these restrictions by using his wealth and technology, and with the cover of ..
In this regard, he was much more convenient than Nick Fury, who could only try his best to increase income and reduce expenditure, make false accounts, and deduct money.
But no matter what, Nick Fury's operation did revive ., and he himself could still occupy a considerable weight in it, guiding and monitoring the supernatural world as in the past.
After talking with Shimizu for a while and discussing the details of the various things to be done next, Nick Fury flicked his leather coat and walked out of the Water Manor.
Here, a red vintage car was parked outside the manor gate.
Coulson got out of the car and opened the door for Nick Fury.
"Oh, it's this car again. You've maintained it well."
"Director, I send Lola to the logistics department for maintenance every month. She looks like new now."
Coulson smiled and sat in his beloved car, Lola, with Nick Fury.
"It's a pity that . is disbanded now. Ordinary auto repair shops can't maintain Lola at all."
Coulson sighed.
Lola looked like a vintage car on the outside, but it had a lot of high technology inside. After . was disbanded, he had nowhere to repair and maintain it.
"Don't worry too much. The new . will be reorganized and will be better than before."
Nick Fury said.
A look of joy appeared on Coulson's face.
"When exactly, Director?"
"Within this year, and also, I'm no longer the director. There will be a new director taking office then."
"New director?"
Coulson, who was holding the steering wheel, couldn't help but look back at the Water Manor behind him.
"Do you want Water to be the director?"
"What do you think? You and Hill will support Water's work in . together."
"I don't doubt his ability, but... can we really trust him? What if he goes astray one day like Pierce?"
Coulson worried.
"Don't worry."
Nick Fury said.
If . went astray, whether it was using Shadow . or other methods, it could be checked and balanced. But Water, such a person with strong strength, technology, intelligence, and financial resources, now not only possessed more mysterious magic, but also controlled such a powerful organization as .. Who in this world could control him?
Nick Fury had his own answer.
That pager had been kept close to his body since the 1990s and was now in his pocket.
After Nick Fury left, Shimizu picked up the teacup and drank it all.
"Wheatley, send a message to Stark and ask him if he is interested in continuing to serve as a senior consultant in the newly formed .."
"Sent. The other party has no response yet."
"I know. What about Mr. Banner?"
"Mr. Banner is conducting experiments on the private island you purchased. There have been no transformations recently. Should I send a contact?"
"Send."
A few seconds later, a holographic projection refracted Bruce Banner's bespectacled, gentle image.
"Water? What's the matter with suddenly contacting me? By the way, I have already reverse-engineered the Extremis virus you sent me yesterday according to the algorithm. The experiment on mice has been perfectly reproduced, but the stability of this technology is not as good as Professor Connors' regenerative serum. I suggest you be more cautious about this technology, because the Extremis virus has more prospects for mass human weaponization. Don't let it spread."
"I know, but there are quite a few people eyeing this thing. The military even thinks this thing can be used to create super soldier serum."
Shimizu said to Bruce Banner.
"Is it still General Ross?"
Banner sighed.
"No, it's someone else. General Ross retired from the military and entered politics after undergoing heart bypass surgery. Maybe after the next election, he will be the next Secretary of State of the United States."
"This is really... sigh."
A look of helplessness appeared on Banner's face, and he shook his head.
"Don't worry, Teacher Banner. If you can become a high-level official in . and serve as the Minister of the . Science and Technology Department, with this identity, the military won't be able to touch you so easily."
A faint smile appeared on Shimizu's face as he said to Bruce Banner.
