Chapter 554: The Director's Trick

"Becoming the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.", this sounds like a very stylish position, and even blowing it with acquaintances feels like a lot of face. But that's only for the uninformed. For Daisy, who actually took over the position, the job of S.H.I.E.L.D. can be described by various adjectives, but it definitely has nothing to do with the words "relaxed and handsome".

She has also made up her brain before, like Nick Fury, how imposing when he was in power? Ears and eyes all over the world, elusive, uncertain, perennial wearing that handsome fur coat sitting in the air-conditioned office (anyway, air conditioning is also at public expense), the world in various fields of various major events calmly dispatch and command, quite a kind of behind-the-scenes strategizing general style.

But in fact, when you sit in this position yourself, you will find that it is not like that at all! As the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., you must always keep track of what's going on in every corner of the world, and the truth is, how can you have that much energy alone? What fluctuations in the price of oil in the world, the military technological breakthrough of a certain country, and even the archaeological excavation of ancient ruins in a certain place are suspected to be magic tools......

Suddenly, Daisy felt as if she had become a babysitter for the whole earth, and she was responsible for all the trivial things. She was sweating profusely all day long when she signed documents and read reports, how could she have the leisure to enjoy the pleasure of commanding and dispatching in power?

If that's all she wants, she's actually quite able to handle these things. The point is that she has to take time to play official in her spare time when she is busy with these things. Like Nick Fury in the past, she had to report regularly to the newly formed World Security Council on the work of Aegis, and had to fight with the old men on many decisions. After all, sometimes leaders and grassroots executives look at problems from different angles, and sometimes those old men's ideas are too fanciful and there is no possibility of implementation. Daisy was about to break out with them several times, and was reprimanded by the group of old men for shaking their heads and "not being able to do things well", which made Daisy's nose crooked.

For example, there is an old man who said that the new Aegis has invested tens of billions of dollars in deep space defense and built a space station, so he asked Daisy as a matter of course: "How many aliens have you caught now?" Daisy was ......

Then, when he heard that they had "not even caught a single one", the old man shook his head again and again, saying that she was not very capable, and that it was a waste of money to throw so much money at her. Daisy was almost so angry that she shattered the old man's old bones on the spot.

She wanted to say, you're so awesome, why don't you catch one yourself? Do you think I'm the boss of my family, and I can fly around the universe every day, catching aliens like catching insects?

Well, if she thinks about it, maybe she can really ask the boss to catch an alien or something......

Daisy couldn't figure it out, when she met such a boss who didn't know how to give orders all day long, how did he Nick Fury deal with it back then?

She couldn't help but ask her lieutenant, Maria Hill, who had been an adjutant at S.H.I.E.L.D. when Fury was in power. As a result, Hill told her, "Oh, those old guys are like that sometimes, you just ignore them and it's over." ”

Daisy asked, "So how did Fury deal with these unreasonable demands?" ”

Hill said: "At this time, if it was Director Fury, he would say that it was not that things could not be done but that the money was not available. He would say that if the top can allocate another three to five hundred billion, it is not impossible to catch an alien. And then the old men usually shut up. ”

Daisy: "......"

Routines, routines, are routines.

And then in addition to these mortal old men, there is another problem that is the most vexing and the most headache for most people on the planet, and that is the problem of funding.

S.H.I.E.L.D. is said to be a super organization that is entrenched in the whole world, and it is said that there are countless bases and bases all over the world, which sounds very magnificent...... But it's a burn of money!

What do you do these days without spending money? The monthly maintenance cost of those black technology amphibious floating carriers that can fly and stealth is astronomical, not to mention that there are so many Kun fighters, energy tanks, and Aegis branches around the world. In addition, Aegis has set up a bunch of messy laboratories around the world, all of which are researching cutting-edge technologies that are at the forefront of the world, and the annual bill expenses can also scare people's scalps.

Of course, these units are also Heavenly Sword, and the Heavenly Sword is much larger than Aegis in all aspects. But the Heavenly Sword directly inherited the foundation left by the entire Hydra, and the annual expenses are large and there are many profitable units. Like Hydra's previous company groups, industrial institutions, and even some forces that did dark business have all been inherited by Heavenly Sword, and they can be completely self-sufficient.

But Aegis is different. Aegis doesn't make money at all, all expenses are public funds, and all the food is state money......

These miscellaneous expenses are enough to burn money, but this is only the outright expenses. Daisy thought that as the head of a super agent organization like S.H.I.E.L.D., what kind of safe house top-secret stronghold or something must be wanted, right?

Don't you say that Fury is as lavish as Fury, and even the most non-places in Antarctica have established their own security bases and equipped with the most first-class defense systems, but at least the world's major powers must have their own territories in key positions, right?

The two most important words of the so-called "top-secret strongholds" are, of course, "top secret", so these bases must only be known by herself, and cannot be recorded in black and white. So here's the question - those Quint fighters, laser guns, and top-of-the-line defense systems have to burn money, right? So since she can't write it into the bill, how can she ask the council for money?

This question stumped Director Dai again, she always felt embarrassed to ask for money for 350 million yuan every time she opened her mouth, wouldn't it be considered corruption to ask for money for this reason? She feels that she is a good official who is honest, fair and disciplined, and she can't pull her face when she does this kind of thing.

So she ran to ask Hill again. As a result, Deputy Chief Hill said, "Oh, it's all trifle. Every time Fury has something to apply for, the minimum amount of funds is in the unit of one billion, and he can always balance hundreds of millions every time. After a long time, you will naturally have money on hand. ”

Daisy: "......"

And this kind of operation?

She seemed to find out where she was as Chief of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Nick Fury.

To put it simply, the skin is not thick enough......
