Time always passes silently and quickly, making it difficult for people to notice.
After the war, the citizens of New York finally lived a peaceful life.
They no longer have to worry about food shortages or the tragic fate of being reduced to a lower class.
Instead, there is cruel exploitation by factory owners and serious livelihood problems.
But there is one thing they are better than their twentieth-century descendants.
Today's New York citizens at least don't have to endure masked weirdos flying above their heads, nor do they have to worry about a sudden attack by an alien fleet.
A peaceful day, normal for New York.
Two months later, Luke flew back to Washington, D.C. from Manhattan and appeared at the door of SHIELD headquarters.
During this short period of time, Stark Industries quickly produced a prototype based on the detailed design drawings.
The mobile phone, which originally did not appear until 1973, was launched ahead of schedule.
Although it has not yet entered the production stage, we can already foresee the rapid arrival of the mobile communication era.
Luke had to sigh with emotion about this.
The father and son of the Stark family are both full-fledged action types who never leave problems until the next day.
"For the sake of the early stage of starting a business, I reluctantly endured it."
Luke stood at SHIELD headquarters on the Potomac, shaking his head and sighing.
Compared with the Pentagon, which has a large number of personnel, the thirty-nine-story high-rise building standing in front of him does seem a bit shabby.
"General!"
"Good morning!"
“…”
Luke walked into the building with his head held high and saw energetic young agents one after another.
They all habitually call themselves generals instead of chiefs.
"It's already starting to take shape. It's really not easy."
Luke took the special elevator and climbed all the way up.
After SHIELD was officially established, Carter, as the manager, proactively requested the FBI and CIA to provide manpower reinforcements.
Through this, a lot of elites were transferred from those two intelligence agencies.
Edgar Hoover, the boss of the FBI, went to the president to complain about this.
To say that Major General Cavell, with so much funding, still wants to go to his place to rob his staff, isn't this bullying an honest person
CIA—it’s not called this name yet. The correct name is Roscoe Hillencott, the boss of the Strategic Intelligence Service, also nodded aggrievedly.
After all, he is also a rear admiral, with a military rank no lower than that of Major General Cavell. How could the other party transfer a group of people without even saying hello
The president had no choice but to call Luke to the White House and planned to listen to his explanation.
However, for the above accusation.
The young major general's answer was - "I said hello - at the last cocktail party, I told Mr. Hoover and Major General Hillenkot that SHIELD personnel were nervous and wanted to borrow some."
As soon as these words came out, the bosses of the two intelligence agencies turned pale.
If they hadn't known that they were no match for Superman, they would have definitely rushed over with their fists raised.
Can what was said at the wine table be taken seriously
Hoover, the boss of the FBI, even publicly said that he took nude photos of the wife of the previous President Roosevelt!
Everyone just laughed it off and no one looked into it further.
In the end, this matter was settled.
The president could only comfort the two top managers of the intelligence agencies and turned a deaf ear to their explicit offers of compensation.
From then on, none of the big guys in the military dared to talk business with Luke at the wine table.
After all, I can't afford to offend him, so I can only stay away.
"I understand that SHIELD should expand at a faster pace, but it should not be so radical. It should give the president some face."
Luke arrived on the 34th floor and walked into the office when he saw Carter wearing a brown skirt and black high heels.
The cold and charming female agent is now the commander of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Responsible for all tasks including housekeeping and field dispatch.
"They don't take S.H.I.E.L.D. seriously at all. Especially Hoover, who boasts that he is a shadow agent in Washington - he took several nude photos of the president's wife and knew the scandals of several senators. What's so great about it!"
Carter put his hands on the table, his strong capital shaking violently, which dazzled Luke.
The latter made a gesture of surrender and said in a relaxed tone: "Okay, anyway, I have offended a lot of people. But that guy Hoover really took... photos?"
"The head of the FBI is a nymphomaniac and his sexual orientation is abnormal."
Carter replied with a look of disgust.
Luke, who had become a crowd-pleaser, was amazed that these big guys at the top of the power pyramid really knew how to play.
"How is SHIELD developing currently?"
As the hands-off shopkeeper, Luke has no awareness that he is the supreme leader.
He left almost all of SHIELD's work to Carter and rarely interfered with specific matters.
Facts have proved that the other party does have this ability.
In just a few months, the entire organization's operations were on track.
"Not bad. The total number of people remains at around four hundred. Most of them are support staff and civilians. The real agents and field agents add up to less than a hundred people, including overseas spies and agents."
Carter said in a very organized manner, and handed over a detailed list.
"As for the Hydra you mentioned before, there is no definite information. However, I have noticed an oil refining company. According to reliable intelligence, it has received investment from overseas. The location is the Soviet Union and is currently being traced."
Luke took the information, glanced at it, and memorized the contents in his head.
Carter sat in the position of commander of S.H.I.E.L.D., fully demonstrating his shrewd and capable side.
She continued: "If you compare it with Dr. Zola's testimony, I have every reason to suspect that Hydra is hiding in the Soviet Union and is colluding with an organization called Leviathan."
Luke nodded, which coincided with his previous deduction.
After World War II, the Allies emerged victorious.
The Axis Powers camp collapsed one after another and lost the potential and possibility of development in a short period of time.
Like fish on a chopping board, left to be slaughtered by others.
If Hydra wants to grow, it will definitely choose a country that is rising rapidly and whose power is on the move.
"We sacrificed four agents during this period, and they all died at the hands of Leviathan. That gang has an organization called the 'Red Room', which specializes in training high-quality spies, as well as agents who carry out assassination missions."
Carter collected a lot of information, and even the red house was dug up.
Most people have only heard of the KGB and don’t know that the Soviet Union had such a secret spy training camp.
"Well done."
Luke complimented.
Those were just small fights, he was more concerned about the whereabouts of the mutants.
"I heard that you found James Howlett?"
Finding Wolverine's whereabouts is also one of the tasks Luke assigned to S.H.I.E.L.D.
"To be more precise, we found his brother, Victor Creed."
Carter found the character information, opened it and read: "He should be what you call a 'mutant'. He and James Howlett had performed brilliantly in the Normandy landing before, but compared to his younger brother, Vic Do-Clid's character was even more irritable, and he disobeyed his superiors' instructions several times and contradicted his superiors."
"The latest incident was when he killed a senior military officer and resisted arrest, and was sentenced to death together with James Howlett."
"It is unbelievable that these brothers were shot in the brain but did not die. Instead, they killed the execution team."
"This was four months ago. Victor Creed is currently being held in a military camp in New Jersey, and his brother James Howlett's whereabouts are unknown." (End of Chapter)
