Chapter 172: The Alliance of Gentlemen
"Sir, no outsiders are allowed to enter here."
"Really? I'm looking for Mr. Donovan, William. Joseph. Donovan, he said, if I'm interested, I can come here to him, here's the business card he gave me. ”
"Sorry, we don't have this person here," the blonde girl at the front desk politely pushed the card back.
"With all due respect, ma'am, on your right-hand side, yes, there's a little red button under that stack of books, can you press it?" Tang Long smiled and debunked the other party's lies.
The blonde girl opposite stared at him for a long time before she said, "What's the matter with you?"
"I'm here for an interview."
"I'll register you, fill in your name, address, contact information, and by the way, how did you find out?"
"Maybe it's not the button, I guess, but your hands are always protecting that area, intentionally or unintentionally, and I think the only thing except for the new Chanel is the communication button."
"Go up to the third floor from the elevator, don't come out," the lady opposite no longer gave him a chance to flirt, and said coldly after returning.
Tang Long shrugged his shoulders and walked into the elevator, with a 'ding dong', the door on the third floor first opened, then closed, and after a few seconds, the wall behind him 'clicked', revealing a trace of gap.
Walking into it, it was busy, the staff walked back and forth, their hands were full of papers, the telegrams were kept being answered, if there was really any difference, it was that some of them had gun holsters pinned to their waists, and the number of telegraphs and radio stations was a bit large.
Knocking on the door of the innermost office, the woman's panting stopped, and Donovan, whose face was full of lip prints, opened the door with a gloomy face.
"Who are you?"
"We met at the airbase, my name is ......"
"I don't know!" The door slammed shut.
'! Tang Long thought to himself, I have known your virtue for a long time, but fortunately I came prepared today, "I have a codebook about the Hydra. ”
The door was pulled open again, and Donovan patted Tang Long on the shoulder like nothing, "Man." Come on in. ”
"This is one of my military operations in Canada, and I got the codebook," Tang Long said straight to the point.
"Don't worry, man." Donovan gestured to the one who was arranging her dress, a Hollywood actress from this era, "Don't forget to put on your hood." ”
"Of course, dear," the charming girl gave him a flying kiss. Only then did he beckon and leave.
"Women, it's trouble, but the problem is, we always like to get into trouble," Donovan poured a cup of coffee and handed it to Tang Long, "Okay, Don, let's talk about it all over again."
'You didn't recognize me just now! Tang Long secretly vomited and repeated the matter.
"So to speak. You came to your door because you were tired of the bureaucratic habits of the military, hoping to investigate the infiltration of Hydra through us. ”
"Yes," Tang Long nodded, a little nervous in his heart, and said calmly on the surface: "The last arrest, including this attack, our 103rd Battalion failed to get accurate information, just this." Many people have been killed, and I hope that there is such an organization that can remove any red tape and quickly organize intelligence work and unconventional warfare. Instead of asking for the courts, the War Department, the Pentagon, the Parliament, the State Department, layer upon layer, and by the time it was approved, Hitler would have occupied the White House! ”
In fact, the Strategic Intelligence Agency, and later the CIA, did just that. The president accepts the order, reports directly to the president, does not obey anyone else's orders, and is above the army and navy.
Sure enough, when Donovan heard this, his eyebrows immediately danced, as if he had met a confidant, "That's awesome, man!" I think so too, just like MI6, our country needs a well-planned, obedient and risk-taking population, it will be a centralized agency, unlike the bloated and incompetent kind of FBI, it should be all elite soldiers! ”
"I heard rumors from outside that you were building such an organization, so I came."
"But about the intelligence of the Hydra, shouldn't you look for the Strategic Science Corps? Isn't it in the hands of Mr. Captain? Donovan showed a sly look, "Interdepartmental reporting, you don't worry about being sent to a military court by me?" ”
Tang Long knew that the drama was coming, thought about it, and said: "With all due respect, the captain will not kidnap, monitor, blackmail, or win over traitors or assassinate officials; To defend the country, we need not only heroes of justice, but also heroes in the dark, even if their means are obscene and unknown. ”
"As for interdepartmental reporting? What a deal! In order to match this sentence, he himself showed a rather disdainful expression.
"That's a good point, man," Donovan clapped his hands happily, "how can I repay you, Mr. Tang?" ”
"If you think so and are ready to do so, I want to be one of the people you envision, and besides, the color of my skin determines my ceiling, and it also determines that I can't be a war star like the captain, but at least, I can handle everything in the dark!"
"I like careerists," Donovan said angrily, "So, are you willing to give up your status as a soldier, or even as an American citizen, to become my secret spy?" Remember, in my eyes, anyone can be a big shot! ”
"That's what I'm here for!" Blindly lying, it will definitely be discovered by the shrewd guy opposite, only half-truths and half-truths can make the other party trust; Besides, no matter how powerful the other party is, he can't guess that he will come from another world.
"Okay, okay," Donovan turned back and forth, "Battalion 103, it's a bit troublesome, but since you're not a reformer, there's a loophole to exploit, no problem, I'll take care of the new identity!" ”
Tang Long was overjoyed and relieved in his heart, his goal was finally achieved!
"But first, you'll need to take a 16-week course at the spy school I set up, and the level of your studies determines the length of time, and when you complete the final test called 'Strategy', you'll officially become my subordinate, is that acceptable?"
"Of course."
"I'll introduce you to your future colleague first," Donovan pushed open the door to his office and clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.
"Oscar winner for Best Director - John Brown. Ford. ”
"Captain of the Navy - James. By the way, Mr. Roosevelt, you know the last name of our president, right? ”
"The Wall Street Banker - Junius. Mr. Morgan. ”
"Historian, Arthur. Schlesinger. ”
"Mafia villain, hunky Jony."
“……”
Donovan casually clicked a few names and said proudly: "I don't care what his identity is, but I believe that we can dig something, and smart people can always complete any task."
"The FBI's Director Hoover said that we are a rabble, socially handicapped guys, people who have been expelled from the military, spoiled rich kids, bastards, trash, but I believe we can do more!"
"No matter what others think or say, I call these guys of ours the Gentlemen's League!!"
Looking at Tang Long's distant back, the smile on Donovan's face slowly disappeared: "Notify me Vincent and let him touch the bottom of this guy, if there is a little wrong, notify the army department to arrest ......" (To be continued.) )
