In the mid-eighties of the nineteenth century, the first high-rise building in the United States was designed and built by Sullivan's teacher, the designer Baron William Janney.

It was also around the same time that the subway was built and expanded in several cities in the United States.

In the following decades, after World War I and World War II, the United States, relying on its unique geographical advantages, first declared its neutrality and would not participate in the war, sold weapons to both sides in order to make a lot of war profits, and then judged the situation and found a suitable excuse to enter the war at the right time, so as to directly plunder the wealth and even important talents of other countries, and by the way, it was able to attract talents from other countries in the name of "pure land".

It can be said that the United States, the whole country, made its fortune based on war, and it is no wonder that they also want to be the world's policeman in peacetime to provoke wars everywhere.

In short, since the first high-rise buildings and subways, with the rapid accumulation of capital, these buildings have sprung up in most cities in the United States, and in the twenties and thirties of the 19th century, the United States at that time already had the scale of a modern metropolis, worthy of the position of the world's first power......

And then the problem arises, eighty or ninety years later, the architecture here is still like that.

High-rise buildings are still high-rise buildings, and the subway is still the subway, but the things of eighty or ninety years ago, no matter how glamorous and high-end the atmosphere is, will become dilapidated and decayed over time, even if the surface of the high-rise building is refreshed with paint, it can't hide the cracks below.

Even if the subway is constantly being renovated...... Sorry, no, although the subway is still operating normally, but the environment, the garbage is dirty, used syringes and even excrement are everywhere, strictly speaking, the subway still has cleaners every day, but it doesn't matter, let's not talk about how clean it is, those people make garbage at a rate that is completely enough to change this place back to its original state in a day.

The tin sheet is mottled and old, the lights are dim, and with the homeless and gangsters who like to appear in this kind of place, insecurity is also doomed.

From the small to the big, chaos is everywhere.

Anthy is very happy to see such a scene, anyway, it happened in the United States, no matter how chaotic it is, he can gladly accept it, and expects this chaos to come more violently, and it is difficult to say that the chaos that has occurred in the United States during this period of time is not due to his part.

"Wait, what's the matter with me? I'm just a kind and sunny young man, as a ...... What am I now? Anthy protested, then asked.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. special external temporary commissioner, with sixth-level authority." Natasha, who was driving, said, "But this identity can't be easily revealed, so we also need to give you an identity on the surface so that you can move freely in New York...... Do you have any ideas? ”

"Thoughts? I mean I can do anything? And what about the President of the United States? Ancy suddenly became interested, "Or the Minister of Defense?" Military bigwigs? That is, you know, you can grasp the code of nuclear weapons and launch them directly under one order! ”

"If that could have been done, we wouldn't be in such a difficult situation now...... Natasha rolled her eyes, "and even the people you're talking about don't have the authority to launch nuclear weapons at the discretion of the order." ”

"Who has to be?" Anthy asked curiously.

"Generally speaking, the president needs to first submit an application for the launch, and then the chairman of the Joint Staff Council of the military and the president confirm and discuss it, and reach an agreement with the General Staff Headquarters before moving on to the next stage." Natasha said, "Of course, this kind of weapon cannot be fired by a person at the sound of an order, in that case, the world will be in chaos long ago, or even the end of the world." ”

"Not necessarily." Anthy raised his eyebrows, in an ordinary world Natasha's words are not a problem, after all, an intercontinental missile carrying a nuclear warhead that can rise into space and then accelerate down is so fast that there is no way to intercept it.

But in the Marvel world...... There are so many that can be intercepted, and you can find a lot of them casually, not to mention the members of the Avengers, as long as you can detect the landing point, you can solve it as long as you can detect the landing point.

In this place full of technology and mutations, it's not surprising that there are any weirdos.

"What do you know?" Natasha frowned when she heard this, and realized that things were not simple.

"Anything is possible, I just hold the view," Anthy said, "let us go back to the things we are going to discuss, and if you can't give me some of the higher positions, at least give me a range to choose from, so that I can make a decision." ”

"Basically, all the middle and low-level positions in official organizations, and some company employees, are not impossible...... The first thing I need to make clear is that this is just a disguise, and what you really need to do is help me look into something. "In return, you can make some conditions. ”

Natasha's tone of speech was a little official, obviously identifying Anthy's identity as a member of the Spear Bureau, and talking about it purely in the way of communication between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Spear Bureau, Anthy was not surprised, this must not be said that Natasha disregarded the personal friendship between the two, and it was definitely much better to talk about business with a business attitude than to mix personal feelings, it can be said that Natasha's choice is quite wise.

"Of course there are conditions, but I haven't figured it out yet...... Let's talk about the issue of covering up the identity on the surface first," Anxi waved his hand, indicating that this matter is not in a hurry for the time being, after all, he can wait until the situation is judged later, and then add it up, if it is decided now, there will be no chance to change it at that time.

The main reason is that Anzai thinks that he is a good young man who keeps his promises, and then regrets it, if it is not necessary, this kind of thing must not be done, it is better to be uncertain from the beginning, and then open his mouth when the time comes...... Oh no, reasonable requests, reasonable requests come at the right time.

"Since we're looking into something, I think there are organizations and companies involved, right? Since that's the case, then arrange a ...... for me" Anzay thought for a while, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he said, "Then arrange for me to be a tax bureau commissioner!" ”

"Tax office?" Natasha was stunned.

"yes, IRS, I think that's a good disguise." Anthy nodded.

"yes...... The people at the tax office are just right to investigate all organizations and companies...... Good idea! Natasha figured that out too.

The Internal Revenue Service, IRS, is a private agency in the United States...... Yes, you read that right, this agency responsible for all the federal tax collections of all corporations, organizations, and even individuals, including the presidential administration, is a private organization, and it has its own armed army, and it is quite powerful.

There is a saying, "In the United States, only death and tax are eternal", as the then President Lincoln for the Civil War set up a special agency, for the behavior of people at that time when the tax collector did not open their mouth to pull out their guns, the Lincoln administration gave the IRS considerable power - "armed tax", for which they specially set up a new tax police, equipped with armed forces, as well as independent prisons and courts, and the power to directly implement the freezing of assets without application...... All in all, it's ridiculously strong.

With such a strong force, it is necessary to achieve the corresponding performance in order not to be canceled, and the IRS has fulfilled this very well, unless it is reasonable tax avoidance through tax laws, but all tax evasion, once they are found, there is basically no good fruit to eat.

In the United States, even illegal and criminal acts, including drug trafficking, are subject to taxes, and even robbery must be taxed later...... Otherwise, catch it!

And the most interesting thing is this, because they are independent of other police organizations, so as long as you pay taxes, then they will ignore you, "catching criminals is the police's business, what does it matter what we collect taxes" is what they implement, so even if you are a criminal, you robbed or stolen, sold drugs and then obtained benefits, as long as you pay the corresponding taxes reasonably and legally according to the prompts on the IRS official website, then even if the IRS has evidence of your crime, you don't have to worry.

No matter if the CIA or the FBI go to the IRS to ask for this evidence, they won't give it because they have a duty to keep this information confidential, and even if you can get evidence of the fact that they gave it to someone from another organization, you can sue them......

That's right, this is the IRS of the United States, a rather legendary organization, as long as you pay taxes or avoid taxes in full accordance with the law in the United States, then you won't have the slightest trouble, you can't see the slightest shadow of this group of people, but if it's tax evasion and then it's discovered...... The IRS will show them the third-ranked combat effectiveness of the U.S. domestic armed forces, yes, third, the first is the U.S. military, the second is the Coast Guard, and the third is them, which is higher than the CIA or FBI in the movie!

There was once a gang boss who didn't believe in evil, Chicago drug lord Al Capone, who was very arrogant, so he was directly targeted by the IRS and arrested, only with some trivial evidence, plus the IRS's undercover agents (the FBI failed to send in the undercover agents, the CIA sent in), directly launched a search and obtained ironclad evidence - according to the principle of the American judicial system that there is no doubt about the guilt, such a search should be illegal, so it cannot be carried out, but the IRS has always treated criminals with suspicion...... Who gave them a completely independent system of prisons, courts, and even police and armed forces?

Of course, the IRS is arrogant, but generally speaking, it will not be too unscrupulous to carry out this kind of "suspicious" search of those official organizations and even companies, after all, if something goes wrong and angers the real boss, then the IRS can only eat and go around, such as DuPont, Rothschild, and other families, and even various business organizations under them...... But these are also smart people, everyone is in a circle, they won't make each other too embarrassed, they can basically make each other get by without being too deadly, and it's more about the kind of unjust bosses or small people in the market who have no foundation...... This kind of thing is the same everywhere, and it goes without saying.

But what does this have to do with Anthy? He's just a person who uses this identity to do things, oh no, to be precise, it's just someone who assists S.H.I.E.L.D. in doing things, everything is a directive from S.H.I.E.L.D.!

Anthy's eyes began to flicker with excitement, and he had already begun to think about what he could do with it in the future, and even go to the back to check S.H.I.E.L.D.? The money that the braised egg leader is greedy for is not ordinary, and it is unknown who embezzles more with the hydra, so it's not too much to investigate, right?

Natasha noticed Anthy's performance, but after hesitating for a moment, she still didn't say anything, after all, she really knew how chaotic New York was at this moment.

"Bang!" Natasha's thought had just flashed, and on the street where the car was driving, a ball of fire burst out in front of the right, and the broken glass scattered in all directions with the fire and sound of the explosion, and for a while the screams and brakes and horns of the vehicle came and went.

Natasha made a sharp turn to get out of the way of a car that had collided with her, then kicked the accelerator to accelerate, taking advantage of the gap between the cars to dodge away, quickly leaving the place where the explosion had exploded.

The biological force field that Anxi had been spreading felt the situation at that location, and he didn't seem surprised, he had already noticed the strangeness here when the vehicle was still more than a hundred meters away from this place, but it was obviously not aimed at him, so Anzai didn't speak.

Of course, on the surface, you still need to disguise it and maintain the personality.

"I thought 'Free America, shoot every day' was an exaggerated rhetoric, but I didn't expect the fact to be 'Free America, bomb every day'?" Anthy asked, "Or did your calm expression give me the illusion?" ”

"This brings us back to what we started talking about, and not so long ago, New York was still the same situation you said it was at the beginning." Natasha slapped her horn angrily.

"Then I have to reiterate that it has nothing to do with me...... Have it? Ansillo looked a little "confused".

Fury was so nervous about Hydra's exposure that he took the lead in encircling the CIA, but before his operation could begin, he was attacked, he disappeared, and then ...... This is the case now, the situation is quite chaotic on all fronts, but an eerie balance is maintained. Natasha said.

"Fury is missing? Didn't he leave any message? Anthy asked curiously.

The last message he left was ...... It's weird. Natasha frowned, "He said, 'What's the use of the air conditioning system being so good!'" ’”
