Chapter 233: The One-Eyed Director vs. Anthony
New York, S.H.I.E.L.D., S.H.I.E.L.D., in the one-eyed director's makeshift office.
"Nuke?!" When the one-eyed director heard these two words, he couldn't help but stand up quite calmly, and came to Coulson's side in a few steps, looked into his eyes and said solemnly: "Coulson, I'm just going to let you talk to Anthony about the conditions, why did you talk about all the nuclear bombs for me?" Tell me what exactly you talked about! ”
Coulson couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, because he hadn't expected such an outcome before he went. With time running out, the devil knows what the clown will do when he gets the nuke. So Coulson then told the one-eyed director about the conversation between himself and Anthony in the most concise words, and also talked about some of his own opinions, and finally quietly waited for his director to make a choice.
After listening to the details, the one-eyed director was silent for a moment, took a deep look at Coles and the iron rider standing on the side, and then directly picked up his exclusive confidential phone and dialed the phone number of the head of the Ukrainian S.H.I.E.L.D. branch: "Andrey, it's me." ”
"Director, what do you command?" Andrei, the head of the Ukrainian branch on the other end of the phone, asked.
"There is news that Ukraine has dropped a nuclear bomb, you can help me check whether it is true." The one-eyed director said in a deep voice.
"Nuclear bombs?" Andre was slightly stunned, reacted quickly, and hurriedly said: "I know, Director, I will definitely verify the authenticity of the news in the shortest possible time." ”
"Well, I'll wait for your call." Andre is an old subordinate of the one-eyed director, he does things, and the one-eyed director is relieved, so he hung up the phone without asking too much.
Time passed minute by minute, and under the suppression of the atmosphere, several people in the office of the temporary director did not say a word, silently waiting for a certain moment.
Finally, the phone rang again, and Andrei's anxious voice came from inside: "Report to the director, the news is true." Just six days ago, the Kyiv Military District of Ukraine did drop a nuclear bomb. And it's the kind of high-yield nuclear bomb that is enough to destroy a metropolis-level city with a population of more than 5 million.
Because the matter was so big, it was hidden from them internally. After our investigation, the initial suspicion is that it is the result of internal and external collusion, and the direction of the nuclear bomb...... It should be the country of rice. ”
"Got it," although he had long known that Anthony should not lie about this matter, but when he heard the news that was confirmed, the one-eyed director still couldn't help but curse the street in his heart, scolding his subordinates for being a bunch of rubbish, and they were actually inferior to a group of gangsters in terms of intelligence acquisition!
However, the one-eyed director also climbed up from the grassroots level, and he also understands the difficulties of his subordinates. Although S.H.I.E.L.D. is an international organization, in fact, they also have a corresponding focus, and the Ukrainian side is indeed an area where their radiation is relatively weak. Under the conscious blockade of the personnel within the military region, it is also a reasonable result that the personnel of the branch do not have access to information.
So the one-eyed director was silent for a moment, and then directly ordered: "You guys continue to follow up on this matter, and you must dig out all the people on this line for me, if you can't do this point, you can go directly to the South Pole." ”
"Yes." What else can Andrei say at this time? Do it! Thus, a dark war began in this region of Ukraine.
"We're in trouble," the One-Eyed Director hung up the phone, and said to Coulson and the others in the room with a blank face, "That guy from the Clown may really get a nuclear bomb, and it's the kind of nuclear bomb that can raze New York to the ground." ”
"Director, what should we do then?" Hill asked. The nuclear bomb, the most powerful weapon of destruction in the hands of mankind, is now in the hands of a madman, and it cannot be overstated.
"Transfer people and equipment from the headquarters, and do our best to find the whereabouts of that nuclear bomb as soon as possible." The one-eyed director ordered to Ciel, and when he saw that she began to arrange, he turned his head directly to Coulson and said in a deep voice: "In addition, Anthony's side must continue to do work, he must know more than we thought." ”
"But he's hard to deal with, and he shouldn't let go easily," Coulson said after a moment's hesitation.
"Coulson, it's the first time I've seen you so unconfident," the one-eyed director glanced deeply at Coulson, who was smiling bitterly, thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Then I'll talk to him personally, it's time for me to meet Anthony too." ”
Caesar's Palace, or in the same reception room, the people from S.H.I.E.L.D. appeared here again, only this time there was another person, Nick, the one-eyed director.
"I didn't expect that the director of the dignified Bureau of Territorial Strategic Attack, Defense, and Logistics Support would come in person, and I am really honored to come to meet me, a little person." Anthony chuckled.
"Mr. Anthony is not a small person, many of the products under the Stan Group are very hot on my eyes," the one-eyed director said lightly: "What's more, Mr. Anthony has invited out the nuclear bomb, do I dare not come?" ”
"Director Nick, what did you say? Why do I not understand, what does a nuclear bomb have to do with me? Anthony looked very confused and said: "I'm a serious military businessman, and I won't do such an illegal thing as researching nuclear weapons without the permission of the Ministry of Defense."
Of course, as a military-industrial bloc, we will definitely deal with more or less nuclear weapons, but in addition to the material aspect, the only thing related to nuclear weapons in our group is the nuclear shelter below the group. Perhaps the shelter was built to be large and sturdy enough to withstand the impact of a maximum-yield nuclear bomb. But that's all within reason, isn't it? ”
Of course, the one-eyed director understood the meaning of Anthony's words just now, to put it bluntly, Anthony was sure that he would save his life in the explosion of the maximum yield nuclear bomb, even if the clown really detonated the nuclear bomb in his hand, Anthony could get away with it.
Therefore, if the one-eyed director wants to get something practical from Anthony, it is better to show some sincerity, otherwise, he will not cooperate with him.
Therefore, the one-eyed director couldn't help but glance at Anthony deeply, pondered for a moment, and then said directly and decisively: "Let's talk about it, what are your conditions?" ”
"I think I seem to have mentioned the conditions, did Mr. Coulson forget to tell you, Director Nick?" Anthony chuckled.
The one-eyed director didn't talk nonsense when he heard this, and said bluntly: "I have objections to your conditions, Mrs. Gao, I can be the master of their open industry, and I can even agree to it if it is given to you." But the stuff at the sandbox base doesn't, it's too dangerous there. The slightest carelessness can cause no less damage than a nuclear bomb, so nothing is allowed to be taken out of the base, and this rule must not be broken. ”
"I think Director Nick seems to have made a mistake," Anthony played, "and now you're begging me, so you don't have the bargaining power." That's what I want, and if you want my help, then you have to give me what I want! ”
Hearing this, the one-eyed director couldn't help but stare at Anthony with his one-eyed eyes like stagnant water, and the murderous aura rolling up and down his body continued to pour towards Anthony: "Mr. Anthony, you must know that once this incident gets out of control, the entire New York City and the 8 million people in it will be wiped out." It was an unprecedented disaster, Mr. Anthony, can you really bear it!? ”
"What if I can't bear it?" Anthony smiled playfully, and then, the same malice surged from him, towards the murderous aura emanating from the one-eyed director: "I'm just a businessman, and my duty is to pay taxes according to the rules. Isn't it your job to address this kind of emergency and keep us taxpayers safe?
Speaking of which, in fact, it's Director Nick who is ruthless. Would you rather give up New York City and more than 8 million people to keep the things at the Sand River base that even you don't know what they do, you, Director Nick, bear with me? ”
After being countered to the army, he only felt Anthony's suffocating malice, and the one-eyed director couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and after a moment of silence, he dissipated the bloody murderous aura all over his body, and spoke again: "I can let you pick up one thing in the sandbox base, but you can't enter the Shahe base." So now, tell me, what do you want? ”
Hearing this, Anthony glanced deeply at the one-eyed director, chuckled lightly and said lightly: "I haven't been to the sandbox base, how do I know what to ask for now." If you really want me to pick it, Director Nick, you should also bring the relevant roster. What if I really want to pick something and you say you don't have it? ”
When the one-eyed director heard this, he knew that he was afraid that his plan would be seen through by Anthony, and the other party would not easily expose his target before he saw something. And once you take out the atlas yourself, it's a little difficult to refuse to say that there is no such thing in the sandbox base.
"What if you don't have what you want in the catalog?" The one-eyed director said in a deep voice.
"No way," said Anthony earnestly, "unless you give me a fake atlas." ”
"Okay, I'll agree to your request, I'll tell you what you know now, and I'll leave you with the whereabouts of the Joker and Mrs. Gao," the One-Eyed Director decided to agree after much thought, after all, Anthony is a normal person anyway, and he is much more reliable than the Joker with a nuclear bomb.
What's more, he just agreed to come down, isn't there still a diplomatic means called delay?
"I want to see the atlas first, and then there is information about the Joker, the nuclear bomb, and Mrs. Gao's whereabouts, we have to pay for it with one hand and deliver it with the other, and I can hand it over to you when I see something." Anthony never overestimates the cheekiness of these politicians, so it's better to be in the bag.
"Then how can I guarantee that I will get what I want?" The one-eyed director said in a deep voice.
"My group, my people are in New York, can I still give up all this, just for one thing from you?"
