Beautiful Man

Chapter 368 - If you can't beat them, join them!

Knowing the identity of the other party, Mr. Vice President gradually calmed down.

Stanfield, however, was a bit curious, had his identity been revealed so quickly.

"What an honor, Mr. Vice President actually knows my name."

The vice president recalled the past and said, "Drug Enforcement Hero, Medal of Courage ...... as vice president, it is strange not to know you, right?"

At that, Stanfill suddenly realized.

I did not expect that after so many years, there are still people who remember his deeds back then.

"At this late hour, what exactly is the reason for your visit to my home? It's not just for a dinner, right?" The vice president entered into the negotiation and did not mention his wife and daughter.

Stumpfel crossed his legs and asked rhetorically, "S.H.I.E.L.D. was brought down by Hydra, and I had no job, so I had to come here to dawdle over food and drinks."

Jokingly, he inquired, "I wonder, Mr. Vice President, what do you think of the situation at hand? I mean S.H.I.E.L.D."

The vice president sat across from him and, after frowning in thought, replied, "S.H.I.E.L.D. has been taken over by Hydra and no one has noticed it for decades. This is a disgrace to the five permanent members, and even more so to the United States. With such a big mistake, S.H.I.E.L.D. is responsible from the top down."

"But even so, S.H.I.E.L.D. will not be abolished. The biggest possibility is that all agents are carefully verified, and then reorganize S.H.I.E.L.D. and set up a unified peer-level oversight body."

Nick Fury as the director of the era, S.H.I.E.L.D. status is superb.

Because it belongs to the United Nations, in principle, any country can not tell S.H.I.E.L.D., all issues need to be discussed by the five powers.

However, the five powers are not a heart, each country is hiding their own small mind, each other to pull the blame is common.

This gives Nick Fury a lot of room for underhanded operation.

Over time, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s overbearing style of action, as well as the supremacy of not looking at other law enforcement agencies, came to be.

But if the establishment of the same level of oversight agencies, it is equivalent to hanging a knife over the head of S.H.I.E.L.D..

Those oversight agencies have suffered the insults of S.H.I.E.L.D., if the oversight power in hand, they are sure to 'impartial law enforcement', strictly investigate all non-compliant behavior.

If so, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s former glory will never return.

The vice president is directly involved in the highest decision-making, his views are almost equal to the future charter.

Stanfield nodded and said: "The results of my analysis and your views are the same, so absolutely can not let such a thing happen. S.H.I.E.L.D. must have the same independent investigative authority as before."

The vice president smiled coldly and did not speak again.

Because this is simply impossible, Stumpfel is talking about a fool's errand.

Stanfield said to himself, "In addition to that, I have to become the new director of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Hearing these words, the vice president could no longer hold back and said, "This is not possible. You know in your heart that your identity is questionable, and now the whole city is searching for you. It would be good to save one life, and forget about the rest."

Keep you a life, this is the biggest bargaining chip he can give, but Stanfield obviously will not be satisfied.

He smiled and snapped his fingers, and several agents brought down the vice president's family.

Seeing that the family members' faces and bodies bore scars, the vice president instantly showed his anger and chided, "Stanfill, what the hell do you want to do?"

Stumpfel ignored him and inclined his head to beckon, and an agent pushed his disabled daughter over.

Looking at the strange uncle in front of her, the little girl's eyes showed a look of fear.

"You ......"

The vice president stormed to his feet, only to have the agent hold a gun to his head.

Stanfill touched the little girl's soft blonde hair and sighed, "Such a young child, it is the period of active childhood. And you're stuck in a wheelchair for the rest of your life, tsk tsk ......"

Hearing the strange uncle talk about his disability, the little girl lowered her head in inferiority, clutching the teddy bear in her arms, with a very pitiful appearance.

I did not expect the next sentence of the strange uncle, so that the little girl's eyes suddenly brightened up.

Stanfield said, "But your kind of disability, there is still a way to treat it."

"Really ...... really?" The little girl lifted her head and gathered the courage to speak with this strange uncle.

Every time she stood in front of the window and watched other children her age playing, she was envious and wanted to run over and join them.

But her disability was incurable, and her father ran all over the medical center to no avail.

Stanfield glanced at the vice president, nodded and smiled: "Of course, uncle will not lie to you. Uncle knows a beautiful aunt who is a magical wizard and can cure any kind of disease in the world."

"Including my leg?" The little girl asked in a hurry.

Stanfield nodded and said, "Of course, ask your father if you don't believe me."

At that, the little girl turned around and asked, "Father, is it true what uncle said?"

Looking at his daughter's expectant eyes, remembering the pain she had suffered and the childhood she had lost, the vice president's heart immediately melted.

He hesitated for a moment, revealed a smile with difficulty and said, "Well, it's all true."

"Great ...... then I can stand up."

The little girl burst into tears of excitement and turned to ask: "Uncle, can you take me to Auntie Wizard? I want to ask her to cure my leg, I am very good, no matter how much pain I will not scream."

Stanfield patted her head and nodded, "Don't worry, you'll see her soon, and I promise she can cure your leg. Now I need to talk to your father about the medical bills, so go back to your room."

"Mmm!" The little girl nodded her head vigorously.

The agents took all of these people back upstairs, and they were the only two left in the living room.

"What the hell are you thinking about?" The vice president asked impatiently, "You know that those two things are not even possible, yet you have to have fun with the child."

Abolish peer oversight bodies.

Make Stanfield the new Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

These two things are as difficult as the sky, with his vice president's authority simply can not do.

"Is that so?" Stanfill leaned back on the sofa and asked, "Why is that impossible?"

"Okay, I'll tell you why it's impossible!" Seeing that he was still pretending to be dumb, the vice president straightened out the words.

"First of all, the matter of the director's throne, your identity is already known to the top brass, you think they will let a cadre of the Joker organization to be the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Well."

Stanfield immediately retorted, "About my identity, at present, it is only the suspicion stage, want to wash white is easy."

"Not easy!" The vice president said: "This matter even the president knows, where the Joker organization is involved, he will certainly personally participate in the interrogation and investigation, and I have no way to help you."

Stanfield made a throat-slitting motion and said, "In that case, let's get rid of him!"

"What! You're crazy!" The vice president was shocked and scared angry.

Stanfield pressed his hand and said soothingly, "Don't worry, it's not me personally, much less someone who will see the light."

"No! It's too risky! Once you are exposed, you will definitely implicate me." The vice president thought about it and still refused.

Stanfield changed his mind and tempted, "No surprise, Mr. President will be re-elected in the next term, don't you have a little idea about that position? You are not young, and you can't afford to wait."

Boom!

These words hit the core, and the vice president's face became incomparably grave.

Of course he had ideas for that position, and so did countless politicians from the Democratic and Republican parties.

If he were to run in the conventional way, he would certainly not stand a chance.

The only way is the accidental death of the current president, he can logically sit in that position.

The vice president was silent for a moment, and there was a slight wavering in his heart.

But not long after, he laughed bitterly and said, "It's useless. Even if I become president and let you become the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Tony Stark and Steve Rogers will not agree, they both are now the president's guests, and both know your identity."

Stanfield laughed contemptuously, "So you're worried about them ...... rest assured, I'll take care of their problems."

The vice president asked, "What's your solution? Should we kill them too?"

Stanfill said, "Don't worry about that, you just need to help me prepare a press card."

"A press card?"

"That's right. In three days, Mr. President is going to hold a press conference. Your questions will be answered on that day."

Hesitating for a moment, the vice president sighed, "Okay, I'll bet with you this time, but I have a condition."

"Name it."

"You have to get Belmod to heal my daughter's leg."

She was the only one in the clown organization who could heal the broken leg, and the vice president of unification had known that for a long time.

Stanfield shook his head and refused, "Not this ...... one!"

The vice president was shocked and said angrily, "Why! You just promised me!"

Stanfill laughed: "I only promised that I would cure your daughter's disability ...... as to when and where, didn't mention half a word."

"Besides, the organization's top cadres are all busy people, so for her to leave her job behind and leap halfway around the world to cure your daughter, you seem to be overestimating your value."

The vice president clenched his fist and silently endured his insult.

After a long time, he sighed and bowed his head, "Then what do you say, what should I do?"

Stanfield said with satisfaction, "You arrange for your family to travel to Europe as soon as possible, I will inform the organization to arrange an assassination, and then take the opportunity to bring your family back to the base."

"In addition, repairing a broken limb can be a long process without having to treat the wound. Even Belmod will take several months, and to prevent accidents, it will take several years to recuperate after the repair is over ...... these you can accept, right?"

This is to hold my family as hostages ah.

The vice president has a million reluctances in his heart, he loves his family and enjoys life with them.

The thought of being separated from his family by 10,000 miles made him feel a little blocked.

But if there is no hostage in hand, I am afraid that the clown organization will not be at ease.

And after doing this, he would be in the clown organization's boat.

When you think about it, it is safer for the family to stay outside than to stay in the mainland.

"Okay, I will arrange for their mother and daughter to go on a trip as soon as possible."

Stanfield stood up, patted his shoulder and said, "Congratulations, the future you will surely thank you for today."

The vice president sighed, "Let's hope so."

"Then I'll bother you for the next few days ......."

............

After the apartment bombing, the area around Washington was under martial law.

Airports, stations, docks ...... were searched by SWAT patrols everywhere, just to catch Stanfill.

He now carries the charge of being suspected of the apartment bombing, and the identity of the clown organization has not yet been implemented.

On the one hand, there may be a misunderstanding.

After all, Stanfield has been diligent in S.H.I.E.L.D. over the years, and the reputation of the masses is good.

On the other hand, it is Mr. Vice President is helping.

He explained that Stanfield is a Medal of Courage recipient, the police can arrest him to assist in the investigation, but must not mention the Joker organization.

This is not only about the reputation of the last president, but also to prevent the public from rioting because of panic.

This speech is impeccable, and Mr. President agreed.

But no one could have imagined that Stanfill, whom the police had searched for in vain, was hiding in the vice president's house at the moment.

............

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

The first day of the year, the Vice President's house as a three-day master, the servants good food and drink to serve.

The next day, the family traveled to Europe as planned, which shows that Mr. Vice President is determined to get on this thief's boat.

Early in the morning, Stanfill changed into a black suit, put on black-framed glasses, and drove to the White House with a press pass in his arms.

The press team arranged by the vice president was waiting for him nearby.

After meeting up with them, the team carried cameras and entered the White House through security without attracting attention.

The lectern had already been set up, with three hundred small chairs on the turquoise lawn.

The scene was packed, and the nation's leading media came to attend the press conference.

The White House side also invited several well-known bloggers to webcast for the global netizens.

After setting up the apparatus, Stanfield found a seat at the back of the room.

He also took out a black notebook and pretended to check the questions that would be asked.

Three hours later, the briefing was finally about to begin.

A White House spokesman came on stage and began the preliminaries.

"Three days ago, the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters building in southern Washington was the scene of a violent firefight that also resulted in the destruction of three sky carriers, which many of the crowd witnessed."

"The cause of this incident is intricate and complex, and in order to prevent people with ulterior motives from confusing the public, we were forced to carry out the network control."

"After three days of serious investigation, the matter has come to light, and it is time for the nation to know the truth."

"Here is the honorable Mr. President ........."

"Wow!"

After a round of applause, Mr. President walked over unhurriedly and waved to the media with a smile on his face.

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

"I'm going to talk about the incident that happened ...... three days ago, a terrorist campaign against S.H.I.E.L.D. The mastermind behind it is a criminal organization called 'Hydra'."

"Perhaps some people are unfamiliar with the name, but mention the predecessor of 'Hydra', I think many people will know, is ****-'s Scientific Strategic Force!"

"During World War II, they developed many evil weapons that caused millions of civilian and warrior casualties."

"After the defeat of ***-, Hydra went into hiding ......"
