Chapter 251: Rejection and Recommendation

“……”

“…… It was an extremely high-impact attack in which a large number of police officers were injured and killed, including a key government figure who pushed for the Superhero Registration Act,...... The lawless superpowers who think that by doing so they will make us afraid, that we will put an end to this bill, and that the citizens will continue to live in the shadow of their violence and fear, we will only say NO ......"

Meng Ao quietly watched the bright giant screen, where the White House spokesman was at the press conference, full of anger and angry talk about the attack and the bill being promoted by many surrounding media.

Phil Coulson sat on the sofa near Meng Ao, looking at Meng Ao without squinting, as if he didn't feel the huge TV screen next to him and the content that was being broadcast live inside, he asked Meng Ao very seriously: "You really don't think about it anymore?" ”

"No, Phil, I haven't had any time lately, and there's something going on at Storm Enterprises' UK that I have to deal with. Besides, I don't have the energy to juggle Storm Ventures' operations and garment development and upgrade projects. ”

Meng Ao took his eyes off the man on the screen who shouted like a fighter, looked at Phil Coulson and said, "I have to admit that the head of S.H.I.E.L.D. is a more coveted position than the president, even though it is an acting." But I didn't really mean to get into S.H.I.E.L.D. ”

"Is there any concern?" Phil Coulson asked. "Although the larger the organization, the more troublesome it is, as long as you promise it, we will help you do our best to fulfill every order you have. As long as the attack case can be investigated as soon as possible, and the implementation of the Superhero Registration Act can be successfully guaranteed. ”

"No, no, no, I'm not worried about that." Meng Ao waved his hand.

"Is that because of any concerns about the Superhero Registration Act?" Phil Coulson asked.

"No, I'm the same as Tony. They are all staunch supporters of this bill. Otherwise, you won't come to the door. Meng Ao rolled his eyes in some distress: "I have already said the reason why I can't agree, Storm Enterprise has some affairs in England, and I urgently need to deal with it personally." I can't spare the energy to help you, Phil.

All I can guarantee is that there is anything to Storm for other than for me to take over that position. I will do my best to help you. It's as if Nick was still in front of it. ”

"There's nothing more frustrating than going back in vain." Seeing that Meng Ao's heart was firm, Phil Coulson stood up with some disappointment, handed out his hand to Meng Ao, who was getting up together, and made a gesture of saying goodbye.

Meng Ao took the hand handed over by Phil Coulson, shook it slightly twice, and then shrugged his shoulders and said, "You always have another set of methods, don't you?" I'm sure I'm not the only one of you, and I think Tony will love this challenging position. He left all of Stark's business to Miss Pepper-Potts, and he spent the rest of his days in his studio pounding and helping the needy in his Mark suit.

It's hard to imagine how energetic he is, I'm sure. If you invite him, he will not refuse your offer. ”

"Mr. Stark, the big man, is indeed among the people we have on our list. But seriously, if he's in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D., I don't know what he's going to do with S.H.I.E.L.D. Although he has always been reliable, that reliability lies only in his scientific genius and brilliant brain. And his relationships and methods of doing things are a mess. I can't imagine what it would be like to work with him for a long time, but just thinking about his unforgiving tongue, I regret putting him on the shortlist now. ”

Phil Coulson's always joyful face replied with one hand helplessly holding his forehead. For the past two days, he and Maria Hill have been almost completely busy.

"Actually, you and Agent Maria Hill are on your own in every way. The best candidate for this acting director, I thought the World Security Council and Minister Pierce would choose from you. And not to bring in foreign aid. Meng Ao sent Phil Coulson out, saying at the end of the part.

"The White House and the military are very dissatisfied with the independence and huge authority of S.H.I.E.L.D., and they can't do anything when Director Fury is there, but now Director Fury is gone, and it just so happens that this is another turbulent time. I have heard that Mr. President has recommended to the World Security Council a certain person close to him who is loyal and reliable, and who is particularly adept at dealing with the current turbulent crisis. And a steady staff member who solves troubles. ”

Phil Coulson's face was haggard, and it was clear that he had been tormented by all kinds of bad news and hectic affairs in the past two days: "The World Security Council implicitly rejected the President's proposal, but it is clear that Mr. President did not give up. If we don't deal with this matter soon with someone who is more worthy of the trust of the people and satisfied by all, then that staff gentleman could become my new commander at any time.

And I think. I'd rather put up with Mr. Stark's poisonous tongue than the brazen officer on the screen. At least Mr. Stark's brain is very useful to S.H.I.E.L.D. ”

The strong wind from the propellers spilled over the tarmac on the roof of Storm's old house, blowing the clothes and hairstyles of the people nearby into a mess. Phil Coulson stopped talking at the right time, stretched out his hand and made a stop gesture to Meng Ao: "I hope your trip to England can go well, goodbye." ”

Meng Ao also made a goodbye gesture, watching Phil Coulson's helicopter stagger into the air, quickly moving away in a cacophony of propeller churning.

"Why not agree to his offer? Promise him that you have nothing to lose. Selena, who had been following Meng Ao, walked to Meng Ao's side, looked sideways at his face, and asked out loud.

"I'm not interested in a position that balances the forces. Once S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't have Fury, it will be difficult for it to maintain its previous toughness and independence. Without Fury's S.H.I.E.L.D., neither the World Security Council nor the White House has a lot of time to get it a little bit submissive. ”

Meng Ao pouted: "When the interests are aligned, my words are useful, but when the interests are inconsistent, I have a headache." I don't have the heart to get caught up in this whirlpool of troubles and be a mascot-like puppet for some people. ”

"And you recommend Tony Stark?" Selena was stunned.

"Why not? Tony's temperament may be more suitable if he enters S.H.I.E.L.D. (To be continued......)
