Chapter 684: Costly Documents (Fifth Shift at Every Turn)
Cafe opposite.
Pepper stirred the coffee in front of him with a silver spoon, and looked through the window at the Stark Industrial Building, which was in an instant uproar.
She even vividly remembered the look on her face when she heard Tony's announcement from another world.
It is no different from the expressions of the reporters who almost ran out of it, if not more than that......
Reporters swarmed out of the gate with exaggerated looks.
They also have one more thing in common.
Whether it's a male or female reporter, or a women's clothing boss who is looking forward to Tony's change of orientation, they all have the same phone in their hands, and they all shout at the person on the other side of the phone, almost to the same meaning.
"Fake, hurry up and publish a manuscript on the subject of Tony Stark's announcement of the closure of the Stark Enterprises weapons division."
The strong and powerful anger vented the excitement in the hearts of the reporters at this moment.
Oh, God.
Jesus and Christ.
This time it's really big news.
Stark Industries, which started with munitions, announced the closure of their foundation?
Crazy?
Or is it as predicted when they were on the Federal Wanted Register with Obadia Stein?
Tony Stark completely let himself go?
Don't......
Will they see the collapse of a vast arms empire in their lifetimes, or even soon, soon?
The reporters present looked at their peers and thought in their hearts.
The next second.
The block of Stark Industries is completely congested with traffic......
Inside the café.
Phil Coulson, the old village chief of S.H.I.E.L.D., who heard the news from his agents, put down the phone and was a little distracted.
He had come here on the orders of their boss to investigate a matter.
A steel battle takes place in the middle of the day in a desert area in the Middle East.
And also.
How Tony Stark managed to make it midday in the Middle East, while in the afternoon he had returned to New York.
That's all Coulson needs to know this time.
But for now?
Coulson is more curious about what is really happening in the Middle East. Causing Tony to announce the closure of the weapons research and development department in the afternoon after announcing the launch of the Jericho missile on the market in the morning?
Coulson has too many questions.
But these questions probably won't go unanswered until he meets Tony, but there's one question he might be able to get answered right now.
Coulson looked at Pepper, who was sitting opposite him, and asked curiously, "Ms. Potts......"
"Call me Pepper." Pepper smiled and withdrew her gaze to Coulson.
Coulson said, "Pepper, you don't seem to be worried at all. ”
"Of course."
Pepper smiled, what to worry about? She has another world memory, and if she closes the weapons department, the profits from the sale of weapons are only about 65% of the total profits in Stark Enterprises.
Again.
Pepper has even begun to end some of the small mistakes that he made when he was appointed CEO by Tony in the other world.
Pepper said.
In this life, she will do better.
Maybe tomorrow it's time to make an appointment with the state legislator in charge of the energy deal.
Pepper thought to herself.
Pepper, who has the memory of another world, is not panicked at all, and is even eager to try.
But S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Phil Coulson panicked.
Or rather, panicked from the moment he just accosted Pepper at Stark Industries.
The rhythm is all mastered by Pepper.
He was very uncomfortable.
However, Coulson is a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent anyway, so Coulson intends to recapture the rhythm, Coulson coughed and said, "Pepper, I'm here this time to represent the ...... of homeland strategy."
Pepper, who was sitting opposite and dressed in white, drank a coffee very elegantly and interrupted directly with a smile: "Hasn't it been changed to S.H.I.E.L.D." ”
Coulson, who was already numb, smiled: "S.H.I.E.L.D. is our internal abbreviation, and the Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau is our official title. ”
Pepper nodded as she pretended to know for the first time.
It's a good feeling to have everything under control.
Pepper thought a little inexplicably, especially looking at the confused expression on Coulson's face from time to time.
Coulson said, "That's right, Pepper, I'm here mainly to get to know ......."
Before Coulson could finish.
A dark shadow directly enveloped his pupils.
Two to be exact.
Mark sat directly beside Pepper and beckoned to the waiter in the coffee shop, then looked at Coulson with a smile on his face and said, "Wow, isn't this the good old guy of S.H.I.E.L.D.?" How? Swaggering through the city with our FBI credentials, don't you say hello when you see me, the director? ”
Coulson smiled with a stiff expression, "Hello, Director Louis." ”
Mark smiled, "Take out your imitation ID and take a look." ”
Coulson smiled reluctantly.
Mark squinted at Coulson like a tiger grin.
Half ringing.
Coulson could only pull out the FBI document with his face on it in his arms.
Mark took over with a sigh of praise.
This material.
This work.
Wow!
Mark laughed silently, took out his ID and put it with Coulson's counterfeit ID.
It's clear who is genuine and who is pirated at a glance.
Mark smiled and looked at Coulson, whose eyes were straight, and said, "What? Haven't seen the first document made of 24K pure gold foil? ”
Coulson opened his mouth and said, "But weren't your documents silver last month?" ”
Mark laughed and said: "No way, there are always some people in New York State who not only pretend to be our federal agents but even plan to throw the black pot to us, in view of this, we have developed new documents, and the cost of five thousand dollars will fundamentally prevent the occurrence of incidents of impersonating our federal agents." ”
Coulson was dumbfounded.
In addition to the 12,380 new federal agents and trainee agents, the number of regular federal agents in New York State is about 5,600.
The amount of money spent on equipping more than 5,000 agents with new documents is simply enormous.
But compared to S.H.I.E.L.D. agents?
Mark did the math at the time.
Let's put it this way.
If we can stop the culture of disgraceful agencies continuing to impersonate and discredit the Federation, Mark feels that the money is well spent.
After all, Mark only needs to be equipped with the credentials of more than 5,000 agents.
But what about S.H.I.E.L.D.?
If you want to fake the FBI in New York State, you basically have to have an entire staff.
How many agents does SHIELD HAVE?
Hehe.
Of course.
S.EG.I.E.L.I. agents can no longer pretend to be federal agents in New York State.
But it's clear.
The gold content of the New York State federal agents is much higher than that of other branches, and most of the Aegis activities are also here......
Yes.
S.H.I.E.L.D. can't get around Mark.
Pepper couldn't help but smile when he looked at the dumbfounded Coulson, and then asked curiously, "Mark, what about Tony?" ”
"You should know what Tony is going to do next." Mark looked at Pepper and smiled.
Malibu.
Villa by the sea.
Basement!
Tony, who got out of the Pontiac sports car, whispered to his Jarvis as he got into the bathroom:
"Jarvis, re-export the Holy Clothing Project to set up a new file, named the Mark Taurus Holy Clothing Project."
“…… Roger, sir! ”
