Chapter 401 Except for Snakes, Everything Is Poisonous (Part 1)
If we talk about the most serious disease that the United States suffered from after World War II, it is allergy. They are allergic to many things, but the most serious one is KGB allergy.
As the most powerful spy agency in the world, the KGB once had an extremely brilliant record. This record is so brilliant that even today, both the United States and Europe still talk about the Soviet Union with fear.
For example, at that time, if you wanted to attack your political opponent and frame him, then your best choice was to report his tax problems, because such problems would definitely be found as long as you investigate.
And if you really want to kill him, let him die not only in the biological sense, but also in the sociological sense, then you must say that he is a KGB.
After Schiller let Loki hold the hammer given to him by Thor and chase Mrs. Hydra around the world, and finally fell into the hands of the KGB, the situation became interesting.
If there is anyone in the world who is most willing to make the world know about the stupid things done by the United States, it must be the KGB. If there is anyone who has the ability to make the world know about the stupid things done by the United States, it must be the KGB.
Some people may think that this stupid thing refers to the fact that the United States has allowed Hydra to develop for many years, but in fact, this stupid thing refers to the fact that Hydra has infiltrated the United States and the KGB has infiltrated Hydra.
The stupidest point of this matter is not that the United States did not find that the KGB had infiltrated Hydra, but that the Hydras, who are Americans, helped a KGB to turn over the financial system of the United States.
It doesn’t matter that Hydra committed crimes, infiltrated, established various secret bases, and conducted various illegal experiments in the United States. What matters is that they helped the KGB.
More importantly, they were finally caught by the KGB and all this was made public.
If every country in the world becomes a human being who can express their emotions, then now, the laughter in the Far East is deafening.
In the underground base of SHIELD, in the dim corridor, the light bulbs flickered. Nick and the agent behind him walked through the long corridor and came to the door of an office. When they opened the door, Natasha appeared inside.
Nick turned around and gave the people behind him a look, signaling them to go out first. After he closed the door, he sighed and said, "I think you should already know how tense the situation is now, right?"
Natasha didn't look nervous. She just nodded and said, "After I made that choice, I knew that I would no longer be trusted by any country or organization in the world."
"It's not that serious yet." Nick put his hands on his waist and sighed. Natasha hugged her arms, stared at him, moved her neck left and right, and said, "I'm in the investigation period now, so we are not superiors and subordinates for the time being."
"Nick, if you ask me, you can't not know how many Hydras there are in SHIELD."
"Of course I know." Nick Nick gave a very positive answer, he said: "But they work hard."
Nick seemed to have been holding it in for a long time, he said helplessly: "They think their files are very meticulous, but in fact, many people have already exposed their identities when they are recruited."...
"Then why do you still use them?"
"If I don't use them, will I use those local lazy people who are only willing to work 8 hours a day, have two days off on Saturdays and Sundays, ask me to buy them the most expensive medical insurance, and even call the Finance Department for reimbursement when the rearview mirror of the car is scratched?"
Seeing Natasha's slightly disgusted expression, Nick stretched out his hand and said: "I know this sounds ruthless, but Natasha, we are S.H.I.E.L.D., an agency, you Have you ever seen an agent who has two days off on Saturdays and Sundays? "
Natasha pursed her lips, a little speechless. Nick nodded slowly and said, "To be honest, I don't care if they are NAZI or KGB, as long as they can do the job."
"You sound like a non-borderist."
Nick sighed and said, "The leaders of all the spy organizations in the world can only be non-borderists."
"Do you think the CIA people don't know how many spies there are in their organization? The Russian translator at their headquarters goes back to Moscow 12 times a year and reports once a month, but they still give him leave. "
"Because if they don't use him, other Russian translators earn thousands of dollars an hour, and you don't know if he will do what you paid him. After earning thousands of dollars an hour, the next day they sit in the KGB office and laugh at your stinginess. "
Nick walked to the chair in the office and sat down, saying: "Many people imagine spy work as guessing puzzles every day, but it is not the case."
"Everyone knows what a certain person does. If you want to get intelligence from me blatantly, you have to bear the risk that the intelligence you get is deliberately prepared by me. This is fair,"
"Only when the other side plays a card can I know how many cards I have to play. If we don't infiltrate each other, what is the meaning of our existence? If there is no enemy, where does the funding come from?"
"The intelligence work of the whole world is actually shooting in the void, do you understand? Natasha. "
Nick made a gesture and said, "You send spies to me, because you send spies to me, so I have to send spies to you, because I sent spies to you, you send spies to me, and that's how the more than 17,000 SHIELD agents come from."
"When something happens, we can send back some of the cards they have already revealed, or use this excuse to get rid of some difficult people when nothing happens."
"Capturing Hydra and repatriating KGB agents are already quarterly activities, which can show that I didn't take the money in vain this quarter."
Natasha walked to the opposite side of him, leaned against the wall, and said, "Then why do you want to thoroughly investigate Hydra now? Isn't it good to keep them working for you?"
"The problem is that the KGB doesn't know what to do. "You are so crazy that you have to expose this matter." Nick put his hand on his head and said, "People on Capitol Hill don't care whether Hydra has infiltrated SHIELD. What they care about is whether the KGB has infiltrated SHIELD, or, they have done more."
"Isn't this obvious? The IRS, the Department of Finance, and Capitol Hill have all been infiltrated like a sieve. Why don't they look for their own reasons and come to you?"...
Nick sighed again, and you can even see very obvious wrinkles on his dark face. He said, "We don't control the KGB, but we control Hydra."
"I want to push this matter to the CIA, and the CIA also wants to push this matter to me."
Natasha frowned, looked at Nick and said, "You haven't scolded the CIA? This is impossible, right? Haven't they always been unable to do anything to you?"
" That high-ranking Hydra official was chased around the world, and there were witnesses in all countries. We are so embarrassed. "
"The masters on Capitol Hill claimed that it was SHIELD's poor work that led to this situation, so we must be responsible for solving the problem."
"In short, they took sides."
"But..." Nick suddenly changed the subject and said, "Pierce came to me and we made a deal."
Natasha's eyelashes trembled, she opened her eyes wide and looked at Nick, saying, "Wait, isn't he a Hydra? He was chased by Stark and hid, and you are so blatantly cooperating with Hydra?"
"Every minute and every second I was the director of SHIELD, I was blatantly cooperating with Hydra."
Natasha was speechless, and Nick tapped his fingers The table said, "Don't you understand yet? They want to destroy Hydra? Bullshit!"
"Their purpose is to control SHIELD. Before, some Hydra agents in SHIELD were transferred out, which caused us to be a little short of manpower. Recently, I am recruiting people. Maybe this action has stimulated them again. The idea of balancing hands has re-occupied the high ground."
"Balance, balance... They often chant these words. Whether I actively send out some Hydras to cope with pressure, or I am really busy chasing the tails of those Hydras, I am weakening the cohesion of SHIELD."
Nick emphasized, "You have to admit that no matter what the identities of my agents are, whether they are Hydra, KGB or real SHIELD agents, SHIELD can operate normally and efficiently."
"They are forcing me to break the healthy ecology of SHIELD, divide us, and then defeat us one by one. "
Natasha put her slender fingers on her forehead and said, "Listen to the words you used just now..."
"A 'healthy' SHIELD full of KGB and Hydra, Congress wants to 'divide' you, Hydra and KGB, and you are trying to unite the Hydra suspected to be KGB to resolve this situation..."
"Nick, do you know? If I were really a KGB agent, I would call Moscow right now to ask if you were one of the long-term undercover agents. Don't you think you are a little..."
After that, Natasha lowered her head and sneered, "Why am I not a KGB? Otherwise, my merit in subverting you can at least get me a medal."
Nick spread his hands, then shrugged and said, "I am a black man, I don't have serious allergies like you, I am not allergic to anything, except lack of funding."
"Okay, I take back what I said just now. As far as I know, KGB spies who can lurk in your position are often those who don't take money, and don't even want money. ”…
“They are people of faith, but the era of talking about faith is over.” Nick took out a pack of cigarettes from his clothes, took out one of them, lit it, put it in his mouth, squinted his eyes and said:
“I will clear Pierce’s identity, let him get rid of Stark’s entanglement, return to his job, and mediate for us in the World Security Council.”
“At the same time, he will provide me with a group of Hydra agents for me to use.”
“He provides you with Hydra agents? Isn’t he a Hydra himself? He sells out the interests of his own organization to help you?”
“How is it possible.” Nick threw the pack of cigarettes to Natasha, who took out a cigarette from it and lit it, and the smoke drifted from between her red lips.
Nick continued, "I've already said that Hydra has many different factions. Pierce is not selling out his own faction, and this can also help him fight his opponents. Why not?"
Natasha took a deep breath, then exhaled, and said, "Like you said, the era of talking about ideology is over. Now you want to talk about business. So why did you come to me?"
"I said I think you are a KGB agent and I came to you to get information. Do you believe it?"
"You said you want to seduce me, I believe it more."
"Come on, I'm not Hawkeye." Nick shook the ash in his hand and said, "Just catch some Hydra to get the job done , and it can't solve the fundamental problem. I hope the KGB can find something for those idle people in Congress to do. "
Natasha's fingers stiffened for a moment, and she looked at Nick and said, "You don't want me to contact the KGB, do you?"
"If I remember correctly, you should know Russian." Nick said to the female agent while holding a cigarette. Looking at Natasha's slightly stiff expression, Nick said as a matter of course: "Don't expect me to find another Russian translator with an hourly salary of thousands of dollars. You are just under investigation, not fired."
"Since you still have this job and get paid, you have to work. Now, Mrs. Romanov, devote yourself to the great labor. "
