Many years later, when Nick Fury is alone, he always thinks about this afternoon.

His first meeting with the legendary Superman, the first director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Although the specific content of the conversation has long been forgotten.

But Fury still remembers his apprehension at the time, and he was more excited than being a World War II veteran and being received by the president.

If you say, Captain America is the most worthy idol in the hearts of all the children of the sixties.

That Superman is probably the hero of all veterans—though most people only see it on the surface.

"Hello, sir...... No, should it be called General, or Your Excellency Lieutenant General? ”

In the summer of 1946, Nick Fury walked into the S.H.I.E.L.D. building while practicing how to meet and greet later.

He is now the head of the C.I.A.'s field agent team, which is responsible for gathering intelligence on foreign governments and dismantling spies embedded in the country.

"Hello, I have an appointment with Lieutenant General Luke Cavill."

Fury was a little unaccustomed to this high-end suit, scratched his neck, and said to the young and beautiful front desk lady.

Out of professional habit, he looked around with a hidden eye.

Compared to the CIA headquarters located in Washington, D.C., near the Lincoln Monument, there are only a few offices.

S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't know how good it is, it occupies a huge office building, and the uniform is uniformed, and even the front desk lady is much more beautiful than her own.

"No wonder those guys are thinking of jumping here."

Fury thought silently.

He had heard that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s casualty pension was more than three times that of the CIA.

Everyone likes better conditions and a more comfortable working environment.

Even the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) and CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) agents and agents are no exception.

Many people thought that the salary level of agents in the intelligence service should be high.

Not really.

"I don't know if the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will also earn three times as much as the CIA."

Such a thought flashed through Fury's head.

For example, there are 19 levels of positions in the FBI, with the highest D4 level and the lowest A1 level.

Generally speaking, the total compensation of D4 is around $120,000 to $130,000 a year.

The average annual salary of A1, who has just joined the company, is only 40,000 yuan, which is about the same as that of a rookie police officer in the New York Police Department.

Removing the necessary allowances and overtime pay, and deducting the 26% federal, state, and local taxes, you may actually get even less.

The same is true for the CIA, even for agents who are active overseas all year round, in and out of the front line.

In addition to the allocated operation funds, the real annual salary is only 70,000 to 80,000 US dollars, which is not comparable to the vampires on Wall Street.

As low-level secret agents, the most lucrative amount of money they can receive in their lives is probably only the pension after they die in the line of duty.

Not every agent is like James Bond, dressed in a hand-tailored haute couture suit, personable, fragrant and drunk, and living an enviable life of global travel.

It is more of a romantic imagination that has been processed and beautified.

"Mr. Nick Fury, this is your access card, please take the elevator and go up to ......"

The front desk checks the information, confirms that it is correct, and hands an electronic access card to Fury.

"The director is in a meeting, you may have to wait a few minutes."

Fury nodded, took the access card, and turned to walk towards the elevator.

He didn't know why the Superman Lieutenant General was meeting him, but he was suddenly notified that the meeting was scheduled for this afternoon.

At first, Fury got the letter from his mailbox and thought he had encountered the latest fraud.

He had read in the newspapers that some professional scammers would send many people letters such as "Congratulations on winning the grand prize" and "Rich women begging for children".

Taking advantage of people's nature of wanting to make a fortune and taking advantage, if they want to redeem prizes, or become the object of choice by a rich woman, they must first send money over.

The reasons are so bizarre that it almost immediately makes it clear that it might be a hoax.

You can cast a wide net and always catch a few fish.

Many people were deceived and called the police angrily.

Especially those guys who are looking forward to spending the Spring Festival with the rich woman, after learning that the so-called "rich woman" is actually a big man who picks his feet, his heart is hurt twice.

Therefore, Nick Fury, who is highly vigilant, originally wanted to make a backhand report and assist the Virginia police department to dismantle the fraud gang.

However, after opening the letter, he saw that it was stamped with the red stamp of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the address and contact information were also written.

With a half-believing cautiousness, Fury made a phone call and got a definite answer from the secretary.

The Superman lieutenant general wants to see himself.

It turned out to be true!

Fury was stunned.

How did he get into the sight of that lieutenant general and combat hero?

"Is it because of the SSS program?"

Fury walked into the elevator, puzzled.

He was one of hundreds of soldiers conscripted in the military's anti-aging agent test.

The purpose is very pure, in order to make this extra money.

Generally speaking, some veterans who have retired from the military, or new recruits, are happy to try trials that require volunteers, as long as they are not very dangerous.

It's easy to earn a lot of money, and who wouldn't love it.

Of course, if you are more unlucky and meet the chief of the cheat father, you may have to be a free guinea pig.

Embezzlement and corruption, this is a fact that exists everywhere.

"As the leader of S.H.I.E.L.D., how could a dignified lieutenant general spend so much time meeting with the soldiers participating in the test one by one......

Fury shook his head to deny the speculation.

He walked out of the elevator with trepidation, walked through the arc corridor with two gates, and entered the director's office under the guidance of the female secretary.

"Wait a minute."

The female secretary had a sweet smile on her face.

"Okay."

Nick Fury sat on his back, staring at the graceful back and disappearing into the doorway.

The secretary next to the big man is always very beautiful.

Fury, bored, thought.

A few minutes later.

The door to the office was pushed open.

A hearty laugh entered the room faster than a figure.

"Hello, Fury—Sergeant."

Seeing the legendary Superman, Nick Fury hurriedly got up.

His first reaction was that he was too young.

Although newspaper headlines often have pictures of Superman, the feeling of meeting a real person is undoubtedly a little stronger.

"The 1st Battalion of the Army's 5th Cavalry Regiment, Sergeant Nicholas Joseph Fury, reports to the commander."

Hearing Luke address him as a military rank, not a CIA agent, Fury subconsciously saluted.

A loud voice, echoing in the office.

"Sit down, don't be too restrained."

Luke smiled at the corner of his mouth, and it was quite interesting to see that the future director of the boiled egg bureau now looked like a fledgling rookie.

"Sergeant Fury, I've read your profile."

"You served very well during World War II and currently lead a field team in the CIA Intelligence Service."

"Not long ago, a few spies were captured, and even General Vandenberg had heard of your name."

Hoyt-Vandenberg, Air Force Lieutenant General, serving CIA chief.

Speaking of which, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the FBI don't deal with each other very well, and the latter's director Hoover has been repeatedly humiliated by Luke in public.

But the relationship with the CIA is good, and it can barely be called a friendly alliance that helps each other.

"Lieutenant General Cavill has won the prize."

Young Fury grinned, showing a mouthful of white teeth.

He showed modesty on his lips, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.

That's a superhuman compliment!

"Sergeant Fury, have you considered coming to S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

Luke leaned forward, his fingers tapping on the tabletop.

"I'd love to welcome ...... like you Talent. ”

Fury's swarthy face showed a look of obvious shock.

Recruit...... I?

"I'm a CIA ......"

Fury, who was still a young boiled egg, scratched his head and hesitated.

"It's okay, General Vandenberg doesn't mind you coming to S.H.I.E.L.D. to develop, and he plans to throw you a farewell party."

Luke stopped tapping his fingers and said softly: "I have two weekends off here in normal times, the extra overtime is calculated by the hour, the pension is three times higher than that of the CIA, and it also comes with disability insurance, and after five years of work, I can get a single apartment in New York." ”

"By the way, if you go to Las Vegas for a vacation, say that you are a staff member of S.H.I.E.L.D., stay in the hotel and enjoy luxury suites, go to the casino to play, and use the private box of VIP customers."

"Director Cavill, when will I be able to get started?"

After hearing this, Fury nodded in agreement.

He originally wanted to show his nostalgia for the CIA, but S.H.I.E.L.D. gave it so much that people didn't even need to think about it.
