Chapter 159 The Bumpy S.H.I.E.L.D. and Howard
"So that's the case, then you want to...?" After listening to Josie's general introduction to the responsibilities of the CIA, Peggy Carter and the two agents of the Strategic Science Corps couldn't hold back a bit.
And "Ivchenko" who followed behind them was even more nervous, and his eyes began to plagiarize, trying to find a suitable escape route.
But soon he was disappointed. The CIA field staff present were all selected from the army by Josie, who had fought in Europe and Asia for at least two years and participated in many battles. It was impossible to give him any opportunity to escape.
"Don't worry, our purpose is not you, but the Russian friend you brought back, who is talking about you, Dr. Jonah Finhoff, I advise you not to act rashly, and don't show off your little hypnosis here. Little trick, otherwise, my subordinates will reserve the right to use any force against you, trust me, you won't like that." Josh said, and turned his eyes to Finhoe who was shrinking behind the three Carters. husband.
"Joshua, is there any misunderstanding here? His name is not Jonah Finhoff, but Ivchenko. He is a prisoner we rescued from the Leviathan organization." Hearing Josh finish speaking , Carter couldn't help frowning.
"I know you may not believe it, but I'm sorry Peggy, I've got enough evidence. He's Jonah Finhoff, what Ivchenko, a prisoner of the Leviathan, just his design. The purpose of the trap is to let you take him into the Strategic Science Corps, and everything that happened before, including the theft of Howard's treasure house, was all his master!" Josie shrugged.
"Chief Kahn, you have said too much!" Chief Fletcher on the side reminded pretendingly.
But this was agreed before Carter and the others arrived, Josh sings the white face, and Fletcher sings the black face.
"Sorry, Director!" Josie apologized immediately after seeing this, and then looked at Carter, "Peggy, look..."
"...In other words, Howard was indeed wronged?" Carter looked back at Finnhof, who was a little nervous. At this time, she also had a bit of recollection. The appearance of the other party was a coincidence. More, and then asked Josie.
"Yes, in fact, before we came, Congress had announced the results of the investigation of Howard Stark, and he was acquitted." Josh nodded.
"Okay, you can take him away!" Carter thought for a moment, then smiled and stepped aside.
"Agent Carter!" The other two Strategic Science Corps were obviously a little unwilling. After hearing Josie's words, they had realized what a huge contribution the person they brought back was.
But now, this credit is going to be robbed by others.
"If you think you have beaten so many people, you can go and grab them!" Peggy Carter rolled his eyes and said, what's the situation now that these two have no point? There are at least 30 people on the opposite side, when you are Captain America?
But Carter didn't give up this credit because the situation was stronger than people.
Rather, she felt that since the matter was resolved perfectly, it didn't matter what the credit was, what was important was the result and her role in the process—at the end of the original plot, she never cared about the award or anything.
Especially now that the one who came to "grab the merit" was Josie, who she owed an unknown amount of favors, so she didn't even have the heart to fight for this merit.
Hearing Carter's words, the two agents of the Strategic Science Corps stopped talking.
Yes, there are more than 30 people on the opposite side, and there are only three of them, taking their heads to snatch them? Even if the director of his own came, it would be useless - there were no more than twenty field agents in the entire New York branch of the Strategic Science Corps.
Looking at the surrounding military soldiers guarding the airport, they turned a blind eye to everything here. Obviously, the other party has already arranged everything.
However, although the three people on Carter's side had put out their thoughts of robbing people, Finnhof obviously did not give up the opportunity to escape.
Just when the two agents stepped forward to put the handcuffs on Finhofer, he tried to fire off the two agents, oh no, he activated his mind control ability.
Although it is also mind control, Finnhof's ability is worse than Ophelia's.
Under normal circumstances, Ophelia needs to cooperate with words if she wants to control a person in depth, not to mention Fenhof's.
It's just that Finnhof didn't say a few words, and was punched in the stomach by one of the agents, and then another agent put a mouth cage on him to prevent him from speaking.
"What is this doing?" Seeing that, Carter was a little puzzled, and asked Josie.
"The information you know about him is basically false, but one thing is true, that is, he is a psychiatrist, and he is also a very powerful psychiatrist, with a strong ability to manipulate people's hypnosis, and This ability is mainly transmitted by his language. Imagine that such a person was brought into the Strategic Science Corps by you unsuspectingly, and then controlled a certain high level through language hypnosis, such as your Director Flynn, Then take the super weapons developed by Howard and imagine what will happen." Josie said.
Hearing Josh's words, Peggy Carter felt horrified. If the other party really had this ability, and things really developed according to Josh's words, the consequences would be unimaginable.
And for the consequences that all this may cause, the responsibility must ultimately be pushed on her head.
Because she brought this dangerous person back to America.
At that time, she is afraid that she will have to go to a military court.
"I owe you another favor, Josh!" After thinking about it, Carter couldn't help looking at Josh and said with a sigh.
"Don't say that, we are friends, and we took away the people, and we took the credit, and your situation will be more troublesome next, just don't blame me, but speaking of it, are you interested in coming? CIA? I know you like to work in the field, I can arrange for you to be a supervisor in the operations department, I believe your ability is more than enough!" Josie invited again.
The biggest difference between the CIA and other intelligence agencies in the United States is that it is only responsible to the president, and no other government department has jurisdiction, so any appointment of personnel only needs to be decided by the president or the director.
It's just that the treatment will be almost the same - don't look at the future CIA's annual expenditure of billions and tens of thousands of personnel, but that is the future.
The CIA, which has just been created now, has only a few thousand personnel and only five million annual expenses. Although it is not bad in this era, compared to the old departments such as the FBI, this number is pitifully small.
Completely a grass team.
Fortunately, Josie, who is in the management office, is rich enough, especially the gray income that accounts for a large amount, which can be laundered through the CIA. As the president's exclusive intelligence agency, the CIA is not only a personnel, but also completely independent in terms of finances. Not required to be published.
Therefore, through CIA money laundering, even the legendary IRS of the United States cannot check Josie's accounts - well, speaking of this money laundering method, Josie still learned from the future director of S.H.I.E.L.D. .
Although there is a lot of debate about the ability of black marinated eggs in other aspects, the ability to dig holes for black funds to launder money is basically recognized.
Moreover, this method of money laundering can only be used by people like Qiao Xi or Black Braised Egg who control the entire world-class intelligence agency, and no one else can learn it.
Of course, there will definitely be some losses in this money laundering process.
But Josie doesn't care. One is that these losses are not too much, and the other is to spend money on the CIA, but the person who uses the CIA to support him is pure profit, right?
Saying goodbye to Carter, Josh and his party pressed Jonah Finhoff, got on the plane directly in the airport, and set off for Washington.
Just like the original time and space, although the CIA has been one of the most special intelligence agencies since its establishment, its operations in the United States are also greatly restricted.
If they were interrogated directly in New York, and other intelligence agencies knew about it, something might happen.
This is also the reason why Josie chose to come directly to the Newberg military airport to intercept people. This is the military airport, the territory of the Ministry of Defense, and the CIA can enforce the law here.
But out of the airport, that is the territory of the NYPD and the FBI, and even the Strategic Science Corps has more authority than the CIA.
But sending people directly to Washington is different, where the biggest is the president!
……………………
In just a few hours, Josie and the others escorted Jonah Finhoff to Washington.
To be precise, the town of Langley on the border between Washington, D.C. and Virginia.
When the CIA in the original time and space was first established, its headquarters was a government building near the Lincoln Monument.
But Josie thought the place was too small, so when applying, he set up the headquarters in Langley, the CIA's destined headquarters.
However, the construction of the new CIA headquarters building takes time, so the current CIA office is temporarily an ordinary office building in the town.
"Pry his mouth open as soon as possible, our Mr. President is waiting for good news!" Josh ordered Jonah Finhoff to the interrogation room, who had been waiting here for a long time.
"Okay, boss, but I have so many roles now, shouldn't you give me a pay rise!" Facing Josie's order, Ophelia readily accepted the order, and then changed the conversation and said coquettishly.
Not to mention, the current Ophelia, like the Lady Hydra in the comics, is about to become a spy with a thousand faces.
Another Ouroboros, another Hydra, and the Austrian Ministry of the Interior, and now an Operations Director under a CIA Operations Division.
Different identities and different positions are intertwined, and the identity can be described as extremely complicated.
But Josie wouldn't get used to her because of it.
"...Come on, I've never lost a single point to your extra allowance for each job, and there are also various funds. In fact, your income is more than C Fletcher's salary, I don't know how many times, What salary do you want? Go to work, and add sausage for dinner!" Josh rolled his eyes and said.
"Hey, slaves don't have human rights..." Ophelia could only sigh in front of Josie's "squeezing", made a slight quirk, and then went in for interrogation.
The main content of the interrogation is not evidence.
As for Jonah Finhoff's identity and a series of plans and behaviors, Josh has all the witnesses and evidence-the witness is Dotty Underwood, who had been trained by Ophelia a few days ago.
Now she has been transformed into a tainted witness to accuse Jonah Finhofer, and also received an "amnesty" for this, and has now become a full member of the CIA (Ouroboros).
Its nature is like that of her future descendant, Natasha Romanov.
What Josie was really asking was the whereabouts of the remaining items that Howard Stark had stolen.
It's not that Josie attaches great importance to those things, but in the establishment of the CIA, in order to promote the progress of its establishment, Josie also owes some favors from the military.
And Josie's promise to the military is that after capturing Jonah Finhofer, those stolen and hidden things will be handed over to the military.
It can be said that the military has long coveted the research on Howard.
Of course, before handing over those things, Josie detained them for a while, and asked Yuri to refer to them to see if there was any value, that's another matter.
The entire interrogation process can be said to be very smooth.
Ophelia's ability was supposed to be stronger than Finnhofer, and Finnhofer saw that he was interrogated by a woman, so he was a little slack, and was soon hypnotized by Ophelia, and everything came out of his mouth .
Josie, who got all the information, immediately issued an order to let the agents, mafia, Ouroboros, and council personnel start a relatively alternative joint law enforcement, and quickly retrieved the Leviathan Those stolen Howard Stark inventions hidden in every corner of New York.
By the time the Strategic Science Corps, Howard Stark himself, and other intelligence agencies knew what was going on here, the daylily couldn't get any colder.
Josie's side has even written the report and handed it over to the puppet chief Fletcher to submit to Truman.
And recently, Truman is in a bit of a hurry to get angry because the hairy bear has created a nuclear weapon.
As a result, Josie brought a pillow.
Mao Xiong's secret intelligence agency stole secrets in the United States, framed American patriotic entrepreneurs and inventors, and intended to sabotage the United States.
Isn't this an important reason for attacking each other?
So, just a few days later, Truman took a series of evidence about Leviathan's behavior and read the State of the Union address later called "Truman Doctrine" at a joint session of Congress and both chambers!
Officially kicked off the Cold War.
And at this meeting, Josie, who was a major contributor to the intelligence case, and Howard, the victim of this case, also all participated.
It's just that compared to the smiling Josie, Howard Stark's face is not very good-looking.
Although Howard regained his innocence, because the prelude to the cold chapter was opened earlier than the original time and space, and the early restoration of the CIA, the proposal he had been planning with General Phillips to reorganize the Strategic Science Corps was rejected by Congress.
In other words, after the original Leviathan case, S.H.I.E.L.D., which should have started secret preparations, was temporarily stranded...
What annoyed him even more was that there were more than a dozen pieces of technology that he had stolen that fell into the hands of the CIA and could not be retrieved. According to the news, those things would be transferred to the military soon. He wants to get those things back, which is almost impossible.
But what annoyed him the most was the disappearance of Captain America's blood sample... He had expected it to win a Nobel Prize.
Thinking of this, one by one, Howard Stark suddenly looked in the direction where Josh was.
He suddenly remembered that his failures one by one all started two years ago, when the night light potion was stolen before the Normandy invasion.
And behind almost every unfortunate incident, there is almost a figure of Josh Kahn.
Howard Stark did not suspect that Josh Kahn had any special identity because of this - although Josh's experience was legendary, in general, there was no direct conflict of interest and contradiction with him.
He was just thinking, this Josh Kahn, wouldn't be his nemesis, would he?
Tsk, it seems that I have to stay away from this young man in the future, but it's a pity, I heard that his fiancee is very beautiful.
As if feeling something, Josie suddenly turned her head at this time and saw Howard watching him, and immediately showed a kind smile.
Of course, it's also fortunate that Josie can't read minds, otherwise, if you let him know what Howard Stark is thinking now, I'm afraid he won't stop until he kills Howard!
