Chapter 388 War Report
Nick Fury and Agent Hill stood in front of Luo Feng's desk. They had just reported to Luo Feng the explosion at the Dark Energy Research Institute.
"I have a few questions."
Luo Feng put his feet up on his desk, held up the written report and said while reading: "Why do we have to use dangerous alien objects like the Cosmic Cube to develop unlimited energy? Can't controllable nuclear fusion work? Can't a palladium reactor? What? Doesn’t the new element reactor that Tony built work? What did you think when this research project was established? "
Nick Fury curled his lips when asked, and whispered: "The controlled nuclear fusion experiment was not successful when the project was established, and Tony did not invent a palladium reactor or create a new element."
"So, why hasn't this project been terminated?" Luo Feng said dissatisfied: "After so many years of research, the results are almost zero, but the investment is increased every year. As alternative clean energy sources emerge, this dangerous and outdated old project should be terminated. Is it a project?"
Nick Fury sighed and said helplessly: "There are more than a thousand scientific researchers who rely on this project to support their families, and the initial investment has exceeded two billion US dollars. If it is terminated like this..."
"What about the two billion invested now?" Luo Feng asked: "Can the research institute be repaired after the explosion?"
"A hundred meters underground was blown into a cavity, and the buildings on the ground, including the foundations, sank into the ground." Nick said with difficulty: "Not to mention repairs, just filling up the big holes will cost a lot of money. money."
Luo Feng threw down the report and shook his head in regret: "Two billion, it was gone in a snap. This is enough for me to drink a lot of tea!"
Nick Fury used to criticize the director for misappropriating public funds to buy exorbitantly priced tea, but now he has nothing to say. The Energy Research Institute project he created has cost more than 2 billion, and it was reduced to rubble overnight. , the Cosmic Cube was also snatched away by Loki, and everything was lost.
Director Luo's $10 million entertainment fee is really nothing compared to the $2 billion research institute.
When it comes to prodigality, he, Nick Fury, is the number one person in S.H.I.E.L.D.
"I am willing to take responsibility for the explosion in the institute..." Nick said through gritted teeth.
"That's all, what kind of responsibility can you bear? I can't get back two billion even if I sell you."
Luo Feng waved his hand, and to his surprise, he did not intend to pursue the matter further: "As a leader, I also have to protect my subordinates who make mistakes. This is called 'protecting the calf' in China. Look at the little alien you slapped." For the prince's big mouth, I'll take the responsibility for you. In fact, if no casualties are caused, it's not a big deal, just pay the tuition. It's only two billion, I will find a way to earn it back."
Nick was stunned. Hearing what Director Luo wanted to say, the matter would be dropped. The Director even boasted that he wanted to earn back two billion U.S. dollars.
After he was slightly relieved, Nick Fury also had some doubts. He knew that Director Luo had made a billion dollars from Stark, which was faster than robbing a bank, but he didn't quite believe what Luo Feng said. Zi can earn another two billion.
Is Director Luo planning to trick Tony again?
"It doesn't really matter if the Cosmic Cube is lost. It's easy to find it back."
Luo Feng sneered and said: "Nick, contact the World Security Council immediately. I want to inform them of the important situation."
…
Next door to the S.H.I.E.L.D. director's room is the video conference room. When Nick Fury was director, he often made reports here with the directors of the World Security Council. Luo Feng was standing in the center of the video conference room, surrounded by large screens. It lights up one after another, and the figures of directors from all continents sitting upright appear.
"Director Luo, you have summoned all the directors of the World Security Council. Is there anything important you can do?"
Seeing that everyone had arrived, a white male, the director of North America, asked.
Luo Feng looked around and said word by word: "Of course, the earth is about to usher in the first large-scale alien army invasion in history. I have summoned everyone to discuss countermeasures on this matter."
"What?" the North American director exclaimed, "Aliens are about to invade? Are you kidding me?"
Luo Feng's face sank and he said angrily: "As the director of SHIELD, I shoulder the responsibility of protecting the safety of seven billion people on the earth. I would joke with you? If you don't trust me and respect me, please leave. This Let’s exclude North American countries from this action to fight against alien invasion. Let the whole world know that Americans can only fight aliens in movies. When aliens really come, they will be the first deserters!”
"I'm sorry! I'm very sorry! Director Luo, please forgive my words."
Luo Feng was so angry and so majestic that the North American director apologized repeatedly and explained: "It's just that the news is too shocking and unbelievable. Can you provide any evidence?"
"I can't provide you with visual evidence. After all, intelligence work is very professional and it is difficult to show it to non-professionals. However, through SHIELD's research on the Cosmic Cube and comprehensive analysis of intelligence, I concluded that within a month, aliens The army will come to the earth." Luo Feng said solemnly: "If you don't trust me and you have to have so-called evidence before you start preparing for war, it will be too late. When aliens raid New York, you will have no choice but to yell. Without bombing New York with a nuclear bomb, there would be no time to respond."
The North American director shook his head repeatedly. He refused to make a decision for Director Luo's almost prophetic judgment. Several other directors also whispered.
The matter is so important that once a decision is made, armies around the world will be mobilized, combat readiness logistics systems will be activated, and people will even be evacuated from major cities.
If this is false information, then the directors who made the decision will bear the responsibility for dereliction of duty and misjudgment. That is why they are so hesitant.
The first person to break the deadlock was the Asian representative, the Chinese lady. She said solemnly: "I trust Comrade Luo Feng. He has made great military exploits for the country over the past 100 years. He has never misjudged the battlefield situation and led the people's army from One victory leads to another. Even if you do not carry out domestic mobilization, China will initiate war preparations to fight against alien invaders in accordance with Director Luo's requirements."
Luo Feng nodded with satisfaction to greet her, but she was the only one among the five directors to express support for Luo Feng, and the other directors refused to let go.
"Members of directors, you seem to have made a mistake."
Luo Feng's smile faded and he said coldly: "Before you make a decision, you must understand that I am not asking you to send troops to help. Even if SHIELD relies only on its own power, it can defeat those aliens. The invaders were wiped out at the landing beach. This is a cake-sharing meeting. If you don’t want to get the precious alien technology sent by aliens across the stars and seas, forget it. I will give the largest share to China who are aspiring to the stars and seas. .”
Several directors except Ms. Hua Xia were stunned when they heard this.
