Chapter 45 Military Negotiations
"Gain the target ability, the Quartermaster Fighting Technique, do you want to extract it?"
"Uh......"
Looking at the ability he had extracted, Nick was stunned for a moment.
Originally, he was thinking about whether he could extract any more useful abilities, but he didn't expect this kind of fighting technique or something like that.
Nick has already extracted a lot of this thing during this time, and it seems that he doesn't want it at all.
But come to think of it, Colonel Rhodes, the war machine, doesn't seem to have any outstanding abilities in his own right.
Of course, the abilities here refer to those superpowers.
So Nick was able to extract his own relatively strong fighting skills.
Thinking about it is better than nothing, Nick still chose to extract.
Suddenly, a wave of information poured into Nick's body, but it was something he had more or less known before, so it was not surprising.
But the colonel is a colonel after all, and in terms of proficiency in fighting skills, it is definitely not comparable to the ones he extracted before.
Immediately, it improved Nick's fighting skills by a few points, which can be regarded as a small gain.
"What's wrong, Director?" Colonel Rhodes noticed that Nick's expression had changed a little, and asked softly.
"It's okay, it's okay." Nick waved his hand, and when Rhodes came over, he happened to see the guy sitting next to Rhodes.
"Andrew?"
Nick recognized at a glance who the man sitting there with a stinking face was.
This guy is the current spokesman of the military, and he is about the same status as himself.
But anyone with a discerning eye can only do it, Andrew is just a puppet pushed out by the people behind the military, but it looks more beautiful on the surface, and when something really happens, this guy will be the first to die.
Compared to him, Colonel Rhodes seemed much more comfortable.
As a colonel in the Marine Corps, Rhodes is logically unqualified to come over to negotiate with him, but now he is coming with Andrew, in fact, the meaning can be imagined.
Doesn't you just want to rely on the relationship between Rod and Tony, and then Tony's unclear relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D. to give yourself a little bit?
Nick is not stupid, and he can see the other party's plan at a glance.
But what does the other party's plan have to do with Nick?
"Let's sit down first, Colonel." Nick nodded at Rhodes, who also thought that Nick could guess what he meant, so he had to smile bitterly.
In fact, Rhodes didn't want to come to today's meeting.
But the military had no choice but to put pressure on him, saying that he had to come over.
Otherwise, even if he is given a big benefit, he is unwilling to come to S.H.I.E.L.D. to negotiate with Nick.
"The director is so majestic now, why don't you want to say hello when you see me?"
Andrew saw that Nick didn't say a word to himself from beginning to end, and immediately became yin and yang: "And the agreed time is obviously one o'clock, but when you enter the door, it is already one o'clock and four minutes, what?" Isn't S.H.I.E.L.D. even a little bit of time in the current situation? ”
"Let's talk about the military's opinion, my time is precious, and there are a lot of things to deal with for me." Nick simply chose to keep a deaf ear and pretend not to hear what Andrew had just said.
"My men are stupid people who can't do anything, and if I hadn't been watching, who knows how bad they would have been able to do their job."
"You ......" Andrew was told by Nick and didn't know what to say for a while.
But after all, he is also a general, and he still has the ability to control his emotions, so he immediately adjusted his state and threw a stack of documents to Nick.
Nick slowly picked up the file and opened it, although he already knew the contents of the file, but he still had to install it.
I saw him frowning slightly, showing a very helpless expression.
"I'm sorry General Andrew, I'm afraid I can't sign this document." Nick said with great regret.
"Why!" Andrew asked rhetorically, "Your S.H.I.E.L.D. business is a business, isn't it a military business?"
It's really bigger than the official, and there are many people who are bigger than you, and I'm just here to inform you that even if you don't sign today, I'm going to take Connors away. ”
"Then you can bring one and try it." Nick crossed Erlang's legs, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he just looked at Andrew like this.
"General, you also know that this is S.H.I.E.L.D., not your military." Nick said, "In S.H.I.E.L.D., my words are the biggest order, if you really want to come today, do you think it's enough for just the two of you?" ”
"Do you want to do it?" Andrew gritted his teeth and said, while Colonel Rhodes beside him silently lowered his head, saying that your quarrel has nothing to do with me, don't affect me.
"I never said I wanted to do it, it's all your imagination." Nick laughed.
"What's more, in the original operation to capture Connors, did someone from your military show up? From the search, to the capture, from beginning to end, your military people are as if they have disappeared, not even a fart has appeared.
With just this performance of yours, do you think I'm going to give up Connors to you? ”
"That's not because there was no order from above, and since there is no order, we can't act rashly." Andrew retorted.
"What an order, I am a dog for the military every day, and I really think of myself as a dog." Nick sneered.
"But if you are a dog, a dog must have the consciousness of a dog, go back and tell your master that even if someone from above comes today, it is impossible to transfer Connors from my hands."
"You've really figured it out?" Andrew's face sank and he said.
"Of course, General."
Nick said, "Don't think I don't know what you want Connors to do, isn't it just to develop military biological weapons?
When you took the two lizardmen from us, I had already let you go once, and I hope you don't lose your face without knowing what to do.
And the matter over there with Osborne, you really can't find out to my people? The reason why our people went to Osborne several times and found nothing, isn't it because your military people have taken away all those things and materials?
I know what you think and what you think, but as long as you do your best and don't come to S.H.I.E.L.D. to point fingers, I don't have the heart to care about you, but if you don't know what to do again and again, don't blame me Nick Fury for playing with you. ”
"Okay, you Nick, do you really want S.H.I.E.L.D. and the military to declare war!" Andrew stood up from his chair.
"A declaration of war would be serious." Nick looked at his somewhat green palm and said lightly.
"But it's still very simple to do something that can make the above feel that S.H.I.E.L.D. is more valuable."
