Chapter 850: Candidates
"I'm thinking about whether we should expand the Illuminati Society?" Li Jie put forward his own idea, but this idea did not get everyone's support immediately.
Captain Rogers looked at Li Jie with some doubts and asked, "Why do you think so?"
Why did Li Jie think so? In fact, the reason is very simple, that is what Lan said to him that day, absolute power brings absolute corruption.
The Illuminati is a secret organization, but it controls various resources. Essentially, if Li Jie and others wanted to, they could turn the world upside down.
And to make troubles, others don't know who is doing these things behind the scenes. In fact, what Li Jie and others have done is almost the same. For example, the dead Red Skull Schmidt had something to say, but he could never say it.
And now that the Illuminati's stalls are getting bigger and bigger, it's hard to take care of all aspects so comprehensively. For example, Captain Rogers has always been doing political coordination. It took almost all of Rogers' energy.
As a political figure on the bright side of the Illuminati, the pressure on Captain Rogers is not easy. When it comes to Tony Stark, he needs to provide various funds for the Illuminati. Most of these funds come from Sugon Technology.
Although hair tonic, skin toner and other cosmeceutical products have been sold all over the world, Tony Stark has won the reputation of the king of cosmeceuticals. However, the operation of the company, especially the financial operation, must always be careful not to reveal flaws.
It's a good thing that Pepper Pepper never asked Tony what he was spending those huge sums of money on. Pepper Pepper is not very opposed to using it in the heroic cause, as long as it doesn't make the company unable to operate normally or even go bankrupt.
Because Iron Man obsessed with heroism and technology is better than Tony Stark obsessed with supermodels and Hollywood actresses. This is Pepper giving Tony a way to relax in his hobbies, so that he will not have any contact with those ex-girlfriends (indicating the number). After all, they are both married now.
Coupled with the Horizon Foundation, and the super high-speed rail project, etc., Tony Stark actually doesn't have much energy to do other things, and he is also very busy. Then there is Dr. Hank, compared to Tony Stark who is only proficient in the fields of energy, machinery and military industry. Dr. Hank appears to be more versatile.
Especially in the fields of biology and genetics, he is the world's top scientist. Without him, the flagship products of Sugon Technology would not be able to develop. And the product line of the X Beauty Project is impossible to do.
Now the products of X Beauty Project have started preliminary laboratory production. Judging from Dr. Hank's changing his blue fur into different colors every day, it is clear that his experiment is still making great progress. Dr. Hank is also very busy.
As for Professor Charles, he needs to communicate with mutants and connect with Tuvalu. In particular, he needs to watch Magneto to prevent the whole old ruffian from suddenly going crazy and doing some bad things one day.
So most of Professor Charles' energy was also involved. He doesn't have much time to do more.
And what about Li Jie? He wasn't very relaxed himself, although he seemed to be one of the most relaxed in the Illuminati. But he needs to be responsible for communicating and balancing various forces, and also puts forward various ideas, and grasps the direction of the general situation. So it looks like he's idle, but he's actually a firefighter. If he was really busy, he was the busiest one.
Of course, the Illuminati also has a big boss. Thor from Asgard, the god of thunder - Alaska - Thor. He is the most idle one in the Illuminati, a real idler. In addition to taking care of children every day, Thor's experience is spent writing diaries about the growth of children in the orphanage (Thor wants to compile a set of teaching materials, as mentioned earlier).
As for why Thor is so idle? You can see why from the fact that he can fall asleep every time he has a meeting. There were six people meeting in the Illuminati, five of them were [Commander Ikari] with a serious expression, and the other was [Alaska] who was drooling and snorting. It always felt like something strange was mixed in.
Li Jie sometimes wonders, is Thor really stupid or fake? He seems to be living the most unrestrained life here (aside from the unclear Shura field), is he as wise as a fool or as wise as a fool?
Li Jie glanced at the people around him, shook his head and said, "We have too much power, and it's too concentrated. It's hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. And we have too few people. If this continues, I think there will always be problems. Problematic. Especially in the future we may have to face more things.”
Li Jie's so-called future things refer more to the things that the Illuminati is currently planning. Including the solar system defense circle plan, such as the follow-up plan of the super high-speed railway, as well as the X beauty plan and it will soon arrive in April.
If nothing goes wrong, Mr. Reed (the rubber man from the Fantastic Four) will be leading his four-person team back from the moon to Earth.
The almost year-long lunar scientific research activities are over, and they have also set up a small-scale mine and residence on the moon. The first batch of helium-3 ore will be transported back from the moon. This is a big event, and the whole world is watching.
The stalls of the Illuminati Society spread more and more, and Li Jie deeply felt that people were stretched.
"Our manpower is too small, Captain." Li Jie expressed his IDE thoughts: "And to be honest, we actually lack some means of self-discipline. Maybe introducing some fresh blood will help us control Growing power. Honestly, I don't want to be a slave to power."
What Li Jie said was very straightforward. In fact, other people in the Illuminati Club felt what he said. Now there are only two non-staff members in the Illuminati apart from the five big bosses and one Alaska.
One is Magneto, currently the queen blacksmith of the Illuminati, who specializes in construction and does not participate in decision-making.
The other was Damon the Spirit Speaker, and Li Jie kept his promise. Except for summoning Damon when needed, let him live his life happily at other times. As a hired hero, the Illuminati paid him a million dollars a year.
Although this is about the value of a ten-year Hawkeye, the Illuminati think it is worth it. Dimon's ability can be of great use at certain times.
"I am not opposed to expanding the number of staff. But we need to be very careful in the selection of staff." This is the view put forward by Professor Charles.
Li Jie said: "We really need to be cautious. In fact, this is also the purpose of my meeting with everyone. Everyone needs to discuss together. Can these two people join the Illuminati?"
Tony played with the lighter in his hand and looked up and asked, "Who do you propose?"
Li Jie said, "They are all acquaintances, one is Dr. Bruce Banner, and the other is the narcissist Doom."

When the recruitment expansion meeting was held within the Illuminati, a small meeting was also being held in a spaceship in a certain star field of the third cantilever of the Milky Way. They were discussing which course the ship should go next.
PS: It was supposed to update one chapter in the morning and one chapter in the afternoon. But recently, I have no skills to do the renovation recently. Instead of doing all-inclusive projects, I have subcontracted and half-contracted out. I am really busy and tired. Please forgive me.
