Chapter 764 After Drinking This Glass of Wine, I Wish You All the Best!

"So, thank you very much for your help, Director Nick. I really didn't expect you to be so talkative. You are worthy of being the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.!" Li Jie slapped Nick hard as if he didn't want money.

Anyway, flattering really doesn't require money, why not do it? Just now Nick solved a big problem for himself! If Nick doesn't agree to accept Bucky Barnes, then Li Jie really needs to spend a little more brains to deal with the Winter Soldier.

It's a good thing for everyone to talk about things that are beneficial but not expensive~! In addition, Li Jie will need to trouble Nick to do another more troublesome thing later, so if you don't please him at this time, when will you have to wait?

Nick has been black-faced throughout the whole process, although he promised to accept Bucky Barnes (after all, he said before: I will handle the rest), after all, what he said cannot go back on his word!

Especially Nick Fury is still a very face-saving person to some extent. He still doesn't want to do things like backtracking, at least not so obviously.

Nick Fury, who was black-faced all the time, listened to Li Jie's praise silently, and he always felt that he was fooled. Are you fooled? It must have been fooled!

But this kind of Nick can't retaliate and can't evade. It's like clenching all his strength and preparing to punch, but it hits the empty space. Nick felt a mouthful of old blood in his chest that almost didn't come out.

In the case of Nick Fury, how do you expect him to have a good face to Li Jie's flattery? Come on! It was kindness not to take out the pulse pistol on his waist and shoot Li Jie.

And Li Jie seemed to be very aware of this, he tried to keep his tone relaxed and cheerful. But Frank the Punisher had no intention of cooperating with Li Jie to flatter Nick.

The bottle of gin in front of him was gone. Now he plans to find another bottle of good wine. Speaking of which, Nick Fury has quite a large collection of fine wines here. And many of them are very relevant.

Including the Remy Martin brandy that has been cellared for 65 years, and the wine brewed in the year of 1982, when the grape harvest was abundant and the quality of the grapes was quite high. Ah, that is what most people call Lafite in 1982. Of course, there are many other good things besides the wine of Chateau Lafite.

For example, several small wineries with extremely rare production in the Bordeaux area brew fine wines.

Damn it! People who have been the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. for more than ten years are different, such a generous wine collector! Frank is actually very jealous of Nick's collection.

You must know that Frank the Punisher has few hobbies. In his life, he has two things that he enjoys the most. The first is cigars, and the second is fine wine.

Not a simple alcoholic, Frank is a wine taster who really understands the three flavors of wine. It's just that the way he drinks is simple and rude, so many people think that he is just a simple rotten alcoholic.

Nick's personal hobbies are similar to Frank's. They became good friends because they had the same hobbies (wine and cigars) when they were fighting in Vietnam.

Nick later entered the S.H.I.E.L.D., and Frank entered the Marine Corps. However, although Frank's rank has been promoted to lieutenant colonel, his position has always been an instructor.

Instructor is a very ordinary position, with no rights and no high salary. Compared with Nick rising all the way to the first leader of S.H.I.E.L.D., and during his tenure in S.H.I.E.L.D.

Nick has a lot of resources at his disposal, and he doesn't need to rely on corruption to satisfy Nick's personal drinking hobby. As long as some shady rich villains or terrorists are found, their private wine collection will be confiscated by Nick. Anyway, no one will say anything on this point. The military and these special departments are turning a blind eye to the rules of this kind of spoils.

You must know that the 2nd Battalion of the 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division found the country house of the German Air Force Commander Goering, and there were more than 10,000 bottles of fine wine collected from all over the world. The battalion commander at the time, Winster, waved his hand, and a company came to pull a truck and everyone divided it. This gave up all the fine wines that Goering had spent decades of hard work accumulating. (Note 1)

Nick's collection is not as good as Goring's, but there are quite a few good ones. For example, the green bottle that Frank is holding now looks very old, and the label on the bottle is blurred.

The wine bottle is tightly corked with an oak cork, so that no trace of air can escape inside. This bottle of wine is quite old just by its appearance, and there is not much alcohol in it. According to Frank's visual inspection, there is only about 200 milliliters and less than 300 milliliters. At most, it looks like three cups.

It was a top-notch cognac, and Nick had bragged about it to Frank many times. It was a display among drinkers, and Frank had long wanted to drink it. But Nick never let it go.

"Do you know the history of this bottle of wine? You just want to drink it?" Nick vetoed Frank more than once, saying that he opened the wine and the two drank it.

proposal. He said: "This is a bottle of wine with a lot of history and stories! Do you know who the owner of this bottle of wine is?"

Frank shook his head, and Nick said with some pride: "Napoleon! It's that fierce dwarf. This is the wine he drank before a big war. It was the top cognac brewed in France at that time. You know I wanted to get this How much work did it take to bottle the wine?" (Note 2)

Frank touched his cheek: "I don't think it's a good phenomenon for a blind man to discriminate against a dwarf. You will form a terrible chain of discrimination." Anyway, he can't drink anymore, and Frank doesn't mind stabbing Nick.

Nick gave Frank a deep look, then put the bottle back in the wine cabinet and locked it. Ping Peng~! Nick also made a lot of noise.

For Frank, every time he came to Nick to drink, he would inevitably be stared at by Nick. He tried several times to steal the wine but failed. Taking advantage of the fact that Li Jie was talking with Nick to attract his attention, Frank quietly stole the top cognac that he had been eyeing for a long time.

And prepared three new cups, and added three ice cubes to each quilt. The light reflected from the amber liquid poured into the crystal glass is like gold.

"It's so beautiful." Frank was fascinated by it, and the smell of wine that began to overflow was even more obvious.

Just when Li Jie and Nick confessed that he accidentally knew about the Inhumans and Magneto's global human mutation plan, Nick's face became darker and darker. Both of them smelled the aroma of wine.

Nick was dazed by the news brought by Li Jie today, and for a moment he couldn't tell that the scent of the wine was his cognac collection. But then again, even if he smelled it carefully, he couldn't tell the difference. Because he didn't open the cork to smell the wine at all.

Just when Li Jie and Nick were chatting, and the atmosphere was a little stiff, Frank came over with a glass of wine: "Actually, there is nothing that cannot be resolved. Don't make the atmosphere serious and stiff. Relax and have a drink." Good wine. I wish our plans all the best and success."

Nick took the wine glass that Frank handed over with a stiff face: "Are you using my good wine to please me?"

Frank waved his hand: "The purpose of wine is to drink it, not for you to put it here to see. Only when the stomach and mouth enjoy it, these wines are meaningful."

Li Jie also took the wine glass that Frank handed over. The wine was a bit small, probably only about one or two. He raised his glass and said to Nick: "Then you need to trouble the chief about the other people."

Nick Pi nodded expressionlessly. Things have come to this, what else can we do? Some things always need to be solved! Nick raised his glass and took a sip of what was in his glass.

The unique fruity aroma of cognac permeates the mouth, and you can smell the faint fruity aroma when you take a deep breath. Nick was a little surprised: "Wait, this bottle of wine seems different, where did you get it?" Nick suddenly had a bad feeling, and he asked Frank.

Frank followed the standard steps of tasting cognac, first looking at it and then smelling it. After taking a sip, he said: "Oh, your collection, that bottle of the amazing Napoleon wine that you blown."

Li Jie took a sip of the cognac in the glass lightly, although he rarely drank alcohol and was not good at it. But the mellow taste is still amazing. However, Li Jie noticed that Nick's hanging hand in front of him was clenched into a fist, then released, and then clenched again. As if he was enduring something.

Frank didn't care about Nick's murderous eyes staring at him, it was just a bottle of wine. If you don't drink, is it cheaper for others? He is not a collector like Nick, and good wine is still best in the stomach.

Frank sipped the wine and asked Nick at the same time: "By the way, you said before that Napoleon drank this bottle of wine before a decisive battle. Which one was it? The Battle of the Three Emperors?"

Nick's tone was cold: "It's Waterloo."

Pfft~!

Note 1: The story of the 101st Airborne Division moving wine comes from "Band of Brothers", but "Band of Brothers" itself comes from Colonel Winster's personal war memoirs, so the story is true and credible.

Note 2: Can a bottle of wine be put into the present from the time of Napoleon? It should be possible, because in the BBC documentary "Top Luxury" (it seems to be the name), there is a bottle of Napoleon's cognac in a private bar in London. There are about two cups left.

A wealthy Russian businessman paid around 35,000 euros to drink it. In addition, there was a food called [Canned British Corned Beef] in the Allied combat rations on the European front during World War I and World War II.

Many of them were produced during the Napoleonic Wars. And from that time until World War I and World War II, it was not bad and could be eaten. I figured that canned beef with no added preservatives (preservatives were not invented at the time) could last that long, so the wine would be even better.
