Chapter 492 Who Is the Hardcore Ruthless Person? (Part 1)
The eastern suburbs of New York are far away from the most prosperous city center in New York, so the air is fresh and the scenery is pleasant.
From the perspective of municipal planning in the United States, this should be regarded as a town, but unlike the small town in most people's minds, this is actually another wealthy area in New York, or it is the real wealthy area, and the land price is even Higher than some places in Manhattan.
The living environment here is quite good, the town has a long history, complete supporting facilities, and most importantly, there is a very good nursing home here.
Billie Sanitarium was built during the Reconstruction period of the United States. It was acquired by wealthy businessmen during World War II and underwent its first renovation. It was completely demolished during the Cold War after World War II, but was rebuilt after the end of the Cold War.
In modern times, in order to increase land prices in suburban New York, real estate developers completely renovated this historic sanatorium and transformed it into a modern sanatorium.
Before, the owner here seemed to be an ordinary crude oil tycoon, but he actually worked for the Russian Federal Security Service, commonly known as the KGB.
After all the KGBs around New York were purged due to the Hydra incident, the crude oil tycoon was also deported back to Russia and his property was seized, but now it has changed owners and became the new Arkham nursing home.
Since this sanatorium was built very early and has been renovated many times along the way, it has always existed. After the last major renovation, it has a world-class sanatorium environment. In addition, it has a good natural environment and is close to New York with convenient transportation. Real estate developers took a fancy to this condition and built a resort for the wealthy around this sanatorium, which is also commonly known as a weekend villa area.
Arkham Sanitarium has softball fields, tennis courts, a miniature golf course, a park with a walking pond, a musical theater center and a yoga center, as well as all the medical facilities that a nursing home should have, and Schiller became the center of it. After the owner, another legally qualified mental illness treatment center is under construction.
In the office of New Arkham Nursing Home, Schiller sat on the sofa by the window and looked at the scene outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
The office is located on the 6th floor of the administrative building of the nursing home, with a wide view. Downstairs is the small park owned by the nursing home. At this time, many parents are playing with their children on the lawn.
Someone may ask, isn't this the private land of a nursing home? How could anyone other than patients enter here? But in fact, these parents are all "patients" or members of the nursing home.
After Schiller took over the sanatorium, the system here became more like a club. As long as you have a membership here, the facilities here can be used for free. Not only that, the west side was also built at the same time as the mental treatment center. Aquatic center and integrated shopping mall on land.
Just when Schiller was basking in the sun, squinting his eyes, and feeling a little sleepy, suddenly, there was a knock on the office door, and a nurse walked in and said, "Dr. Rodriguez, you have a visitor."
"Visitor, does he have an appointment?"
"No, but he said his name was Nick Fury."
"Even if his name is George Washington, he still needs to make an appointment..."
At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and another nurse shouted: "Hey! Wait! Sir! You can't come in, we need to make an appointment here, sir..."
When Nick Fury squeezed in through the crack in the door, the two nurses were squeezed out by him. Schiller stood up from the chair helplessly, but Nick did not treat him as an outsider. When I got to the sofa, I started to look at the environment in the office.
It has to be said that the hardware level of this nursing home building is impeccable. The decoration style here is a modern style that is relatively common in the United States. The lines are simple and smooth, the tile floors are spotless, the large floor-to-ceiling windows are bright and clean, and the evening sunlight shines indoors. The atmosphere is comfortable and quiet.
But the first words Nick opened his mouth broke the atmosphere here. He said: "I plan to reform SHIELD."
Schiller sat across from the sofa and took out a box of cigars from the drawer under the coffee table. The two began to smoke. Schiller leaned on the back of the sofa very relaxedly and said, "I thought you would Do this sooner."
"Let's not mention this. You seem to be in a good mood? It seems that your vacation went well this time."
Schiller smiled, and Nick raised his eyebrows. He had never seen Schiller smile so heartily. He heard Schiller say: "Do you know what the happiest thing in the world is?"
"What is it?"
"It's watching other people work. Do you know what is more enjoyable than watching other people work?"
"What is it?" Nick kept complimenting him very much.
"It's about watching other people do work that they don't want to do at all. Do you know what's more satisfying than watching other people do work that they don't want to do at all?" Schiller then asked.
"It was because he watched others do work that he didn't want to do at all, and the reward he got was something he hated very much. He worked for two weeks and almost exploded from exhaustion, hahahahaha!"
Hearing Schiller's laughter, Nick shuddered involuntarily. He had a premonition that someone must be in bad luck when Schiller went on vacation this time.
"Okay, let's talk about you. Are you finally planning to reform SHIELD, a broken ship that is leaking from all sides?"
"The word leaking from all sides is not very accurate." Nick shook his head. It was obvious that he still knew something about SHIELD's situation.
"Before, you took most of SHIELD's elite Hydra agents into a sanatorium and sold them to Mephisto. Do you remember that?" Nick asked.
"Of course, their pension payments should make up for your shortfall in funding for the next season." Schiller replied.
"At the same time, it also gives you new facilities in this nursing home." Nick added, and the two looked at each other and understood what the other meant.
Sometimes, it’s not that they want to be the Riddler on purpose, but that there is no need to say certain words too clearly. Everyone knows that the process and results of this cooperation are perfect. Looking back at the history of perfect cooperation will help to expand Topics for next collaboration.
"But, if all the people who work are gone, what will happen to SHIELD's work?" Nick raised a soul question. He said: "In the past, this group of people worked the hardest. They were willing to work overtime, without bonuses, and were transferred to outsiders. They didn’t complain, even if I lowered their insurance factor, they didn’t object. Oh my God, are there any better employees?”
"No." Schiller shook his head, and Nick spread his hands and said, "To be honest, if I hadn't been in urgent need of money, I would have been reluctant to sell them."
"There's no point regretting it now. Mephisto has probably got this group of people to hold an economics lecture in hell. If you ask him for people, he won't give them to you."
"I have no intention of taking them back. After all, even if they continue to work hard and don't complain, if they find out that I sold them, they will definitely cause trouble."
"Then you plan to..."
Nick smiled, then rubbed his hands, looked at Schiller and said, "Aren't you the general manager of Hydra Americas? How about some more?"
"You..." Schiller was choked for a rare moment. He looked at the smile on Nick's face and said, "You mean, let me adjust some more Hydra and go to SHIELD to work for you for free?"
baimengshu.
"What do you mean working for free?!" Nick raised his voice and said: "Although I don't pay them wages, I can pay you. I hired them for 10 years and the fees are settled in one lump sum. This is no better than your salary." Is it much easier to make money as a psychiatrist in Shield?"
Schiller was a little speechless for the first time. In terms of moral bottom line, he thought he had never been afraid of anyone, but today, Nick did refresh his cognitive boundaries.
Nick thought he had concerns, so he began to persuade:
"Look, if I hire normal agents, there's about a 50% chance they're Hydra, another 49% chance they're the KGB disguised as Hydra, and the remaining 1% chance they're the CIA or the military. Fang’s idiot…”
"I hire them. Although I don't have to pay too much, I don't have to insure them, and I can exploit them at will, but I have to pay another price, which is intelligence."
"I have to find a bunch of seemingly decent jobs for them to do, and let them think they have a lot of information to hand over, and then work for me with peace of mind. This will waste a lot of my time and energy, and it will take a lot of effort. It’s also very troublesome to fake various emergencies and major events.”
"Wait, you don't have people of your own, so how do you fake these events?"
"A small part of it depends on reliable agents like Natasha, and the other part of the time it depends on them fighting each other."
"Let agents from New Jersey investigate a person, and then let agents from Delaware protect that person, conducting reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance at the same time, so that everyone has a job to do and everyone can get intelligence. Everyone can work for me seriously, wouldn’t everyone be happy?”
Schiller pursed his lips, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to have fallen into the vicious circle of pride and prejudice again. He thought that he could dominate Marvel by relying on his moral bottom line. But today, it seems that he is really an outsider.
Without an in-depth understanding of Nick, Schiller was not sure whether the situation in the comics where SHIELD turned into Snake Shields was because of Nick's incompetence or because he had ulterior motives.
When he initially came into contact with Nick Fury, Schiller was sure that Nick was not simple. He was not what he seemed on the surface. He knew nothing about Hydra, but Schiller still It's not certain whether Nick has a backup plan to deal with such a situation.
It wasn't until the establishment of the Radiant Alliance that Schiller figured out that Nick actually knew everything about S.H.I.E.L.D.
And it was only now that Schiller discovered that the situation was even more outrageous than he imagined. The entire SHIELD was actually not the entity at all, but just a thing created by Nick to defraud funds. There were almost no SHIELD agents in it. They are all spies from all walks of life who have sneaked in for this name.
SHIELD is a secret organization in name, but in fact, every country in the world knows about its existence. This situation is not due to Nick's ignorance of confidentiality, but his intention.
Everyone knows that there is such a mysterious organization. They feel that there must be countless secrets in this organization, so they will try their best to insert spies into it.
The ultimate goal of the spies is definitely not the dead wages Nick pays them, nor is it any welfare guarantee or overtime pay. Their ultimate goal is intelligence.
But in fact, even the intelligence was created by Nick's left hand and his right hand. Taking advantage of the opacity of information between agents in various regions and the mutual fear among spies, he created a lot of unwarranted work, which made everyone Obtained a lot of information that seemed useful but seemed useless.
"So, this is all a trap arranged by you?"
"What is a trap! What is a trap!" Nick retorted in a higher tone: "Even if the ultimate goal of these spies is to obtain information, they have also done their job, haven't they?"
Nick took a deep breath and began to explain in more detail:
"90% of SHIELD's huge workload is unnecessary work that I made up, and the remaining 10% is work that must be done. 99% of SHIELD's huge number of agents are Spies of all kinds.”
"When these two data overlap, it means that even if 90% of spies complete 90% of the useless work, 9% of the spies will eventually complete 10% of the necessary work."
"But in fact, this group of spies are very capable and very enthusiastic about their work. 9% of the spies complete 10% of the work that must be done, and they can often exceed the quota and are extremely efficient."
"And the remaining 90% of spies and 90% of useless work can allow me to get 2000% of the funding from Congress. This is a perfect closed loop, isn't it?"
Schiller began to applaud heartily and said, "How long did it take you to make SHIELD look like this?"
"This has been a plan since I joined S.H.I.E.L.D."
"Then what do you do with a superhero team?"
"Oh, this is something." Nick seemed to suddenly remember, he said: "That's it, if I can get 120% of the useless work, then I can recruit 30% more spies, so that's it." We can also get some more funds..."
"Think about it, a team of superheroes needs people to organize, maintain, and provide logistical support. It even needs a psychologist like you to pay attention to their mental health at all times."
"SHIELD's workload has increased by 30% out of thin air. This is an unprecedented improvement!" Nick waved his fist.
"And this kind of job, which seems to be very mysterious, gives them the opportunity to be exposed to the work of superheroes. There will definitely be spies who want to join, so I can expand the recruitment again..."
"Aren't you afraid that they will really cause trouble?" Schiller asked.
"Of course I'm afraid, so they are responsible for logistical support. Look at these superheroes, which one of them looks like they need logistical support?"
"Stark's mecha will never park in the SHIELD base. All Captain America has to maintain is his shield. Daredevil Matt's weapon is his guide stick. Spider-Man Peter, give him a Isn’t a complete set of Captain America figures enough? Maybe add a commemorative T-shirt.”
"Aren't you afraid that someone will influence them mentally... Oh, wait, I am SHIELD's psychiatrist." Schiller covered his forehead.
Then, he stretched out his hand and slowly gave Nick Fury a thumbs up.
