Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 53 11. Incompetent Kohler

"boom"

Accompanied by a turbulent vibration, at dawn, the plane carrying Fury and his party landed at Kennedy International Airport.

Due to special missions, after the plane stabilized, several black cars drove into the airport quickly.In just a few minutes, Merlin sat in an extended car, and Button and Natasha sat in the car behind, which was a disguised escort car.

Before Merlin's eyes, a female agent he had never seen before was talking to Fury.

"First of all, congratulations on accomplishing what even Ms. Carter failed to do, Mr. Fury."

This female agent looks about 27 or 8 years old and looks very capable.What is more noticeable is that the female agent's long black hair is mixed with strands of burgundy hair, which makes her look serious and has a touch of playfulness. With a pair of black glasses, She unexpectedly had a unique majesty.

And Fury is very familiar with this female agent.

"Victoria, I'm also surprised. You, who have always been very busy, will come to welcome us today."

Fury leaned on the seat, holding a bottle of water in his hand, looking at the female agent in front of him, he said:

"Did something happen?"

The female agent glanced at Merlin, as if she was concerned about the existence of this newcomer.Fury waved his hand and said to Victoria:

"Merlin is trustworthy. He is a newcomer recommended by Ms. Carter, and he has proven his worth in this operation. Merlin, this is Agent Victoria Hand, a senior agent of the Strategic Science Corps, and the intelligence chief of the base camp. He is also one of my best friends."

"Hi, Ms. Victoria."

Merlin sat on the side, trying to reduce his sense of existence.He greeted Agent Hand, then picked up a magazine, seemingly not interested in listening to the exchange between the two men.

"OK then."

Hand made a gesture, and the agent driving in front pressed the button, and the front and rear baffles of the car were raised to isolate all sound transmission.After doing all this, the expression of the female agent became serious, and she said to Fury:

"Mr. Fury, on the second day after you left New York, Kohler took his people and took over the base camp and the Secret Service Academy. On behalf of Congress, he announced the abolition of the Strategic Science Corps and replaced it with a group called 'Strategic Danger' Intervention and Espionage Logistics' organization."

Fury seemed to know what Hand wanted to say. He was not surprised at all. He took a sip of water and said to his two subordinates:

"I knew about this matter half a month in advance. There is no need to worry about that guy Kohler. Those who can be taken over by him are all marginal departments. The real key departments of the Strategic Science Corps are still in our hands."

"Agent Felix was transferred to the 'Sandbox' base 3 months ago, Agent Garrett will continue to stand firm in the European branch, Agent Stretton will stay at Bessaida Medical Base, Colonel Robert will be temporarily unemployed, But he will have an important job in the future."

"As for the secret service academy, if you lose it, just throw it away. The secret service academy with an old system and outdated ideas will soon be dismantled anyway."

There was a flash of light in Fury's eyes, and he said in a deep voice:

"The new Secret Service Academy will be re-established in the future, and Agent Weaver is working on this matter. As for you, Hand, you have also received an order, right?"

"Ah."

Agent Victoria Hand nodded. She took out a piece of paper from her pocket, glanced at it, and said to Fury:

"Island Prison...I would like to think that I was exiled by Kohler, but now it seems that this should be an arrangement you left in advance. Chief Fury, you are really cunning."

"It can't be called cunning, Victoria."

Fury sighed and said:

"The CIA and the NSA, even the Secret Service, don't think the Strategic Science Corps exists. They think we're taking up too many resources that should be allocated to them. So they've been Looking for an opportunity to try to dismember us...the sudden end of the Cold War gave them a golden opportunity."

"Ms. Carter and Chief Pierce recognized this early on, they've done a lot of work, and what I've done is to put some finishing touches on their work. But the next period, for all of us, It’s bound to be tough. Kohler is just a pawn pushed to the table by our peers, and his sole purpose here is to divide us from the core and bury us.”

"We're going to keep our heads down, Victoria."

Fury said to the female agent in front of him:

"You send a message to our former companions for me to let them go into hiding. Don't show up rashly before the time comes. Pierce has successfully entered the World Security Council. I believe that he will soon find an opportunity to defeat All of this is a malicious siege aimed at us."

"Ah."

Agent Hand nodded, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the officer:

"A few days before your absence, people were really panicked. Kohler was very arrogant. He publicly declared that Pierce was an incompetent commander, and tried to slander Ms. Carter, but after being resisted several times by the passionate agents, Kohler also learned to behave. .He began to play some tricks, and the senior agents who were unwilling to obey him were either dismissed or transferred to remote positions."

Agent Hand took a furtive glance at Fury, and she whispered:

"There's bad news for you, Mr. Fury."

"Ok?"

Fury raised his head and looked at his subordinates. Agent Hand lowered his voice and said to Fury:

"After Kohler took office, he abolished the special agent selection criteria set by Ms. Carter. He announced that within the Strategic Dangerous Intervention and Espionage Logistics Department, a new set of special agent classifications began to be used. Kohler divided the special agents into levels 1-6, representing special agents ability, qualifications and official position.”

"He brazenly set himself as the first level 6 agent, his cronies were set as level 4-5, and those agents who didn't want to follow him were all set as level 3 or below."

"And you, Chief Fury, you are now a level 3 civilian agent of the Strategic Danger Intervention and Espionage Logistics Department. Without permission, you are not allowed to perform field missions, and your office has also been moved from the top floor to the basement floor. Even Even your car was confiscated... Kohler is deliberately humiliating you, Chief Fury, he is forcing you to leave, there is no doubt about it."

"He thinks beautifully!"

Fury said something disdainful and vicious, like a thoroughly enraged lion, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Strategic Science Corps is our organization! That trash can't just take it away! I'll see... who can really have the last laugh!"

Ten minutes later, the vehicle stopped in front of a tall building in Manhattan. Fury and Merlin opened the door and walked out.Fury gave an opportunity to Agent Hand in the car:

"Natasha Romanov can't be handed over to Kohler, that bastard will definitely kill her immediately. I'll hand her over to you now, Victoria, you take her to the Island Prison for review first, and Agent Barton will first There to assist you. Be sure to protect Natasha, she is very hopeful to become one of us and the best operational expert in our hands."

"No problem, leave it to me, sir."

Agent Hand responded, and the convoy turned around and headed for the outskirts of New York City.

Watching them leave, Merlin reached out and pulled his baseball cap, and he said to Fury helplessly:

"Sir, you have been demoted, and now you are just a small level 3 civilian agent. Your office and car are gone. Does this mean that the car and mission you promised to me are also in vain? "

"No!"

Fury took out the toad mirror from his pocket, buckled it on his face, and said to Merlin:

"You continue with your mission. Don't come to the base camp for a while, lest that fellow Kohler notice you. I'll find you a good partner and I'll find you tomorrow. Don't worry about your salary. The mission has been approved and the payment will be paid soon It was dialed down, Pierce personally approved it, and Kohler couldn't stop it. As for the car promised to you...follow me!"

Fury turned around and walked into the office building of the base camp with a murderous look. He took the elevator and went straight to the bottom parking lot.

Merlin followed him around the parking lot for a while, and finally found Fury's assigned car, but it turned out that the car had been locked with a lock.

Fury took off his eyes and reached out to touch his beloved car. After a while, he turned around and winked at Merlin.

Merlin smiled knowingly, took a step forward, took a deep breath, and kicked the wheel lock.The power enhanced by the super serum made the lock snap.

Fury took a hammer, smashed the car window, pulled the car key from the driver's seat, and threw it to Merlin.He threw the hammer aside, clapped his hands, and said to Merlin:

"This car is yours, drive away!"

"how about you?"

Merlin threw his bag into the car. He looked back at Fury. Fury snorted and said in a cold tone:

"I'll go up and talk to my 'old friend' Kohler."

"So, who is this Kohler?"

While reversing the car, Merlin chatted with Fury through the broken car glass:

"I see that both you and Agent Hand are very disdainful of him. Is he your opponent?"

"Adversary? No, he is not worthy!"

Fury explained with a look of displeasure:

"Kohler is also an old agent. He has been working in the CIA, but compared to his ability to speculate, his ability in the field of special agents is poor. Kohler has a well-known nickname in the intelligence community, called 'Incompetent' ’. One of the most famous things he did was in 1968, he claimed to have stolen a top-secret intelligence report from the Soviet government.”

"For his so-called intelligence, our agents and Soviet agents fought in Crimea, which almost led to a war, and almost turned the cold war into a hot war. It was after the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. This is the time when the balance is most likely to be broken. But in reality? Kohler’s so-called intelligence is meaningless at all, at least not as useful as he claimed.”

"Relying on his intelligence, we caught seven spies in Europe, but for this, we lost more than 7 intelligence personnel."

After Fury finished talking about the "glorious history" of the incompetent Kohler, he said with some contempt:

"It's a shame to put it on other people, but Kohler claimed to have made a contribution to national security. He was very good at drilling, and even escaped the subsequent military court trial. After more than ten years of dormancy, he was again Someone found it, and this time, he came here specifically to target the Strategic Science Corps. That's a real idiot! A self-righteous lunatic!"

"Then why does he hate you so much?"

Merlin asked again:

"He didn't hesitate to tear his face apart, wanted to remove your position, and humiliated you in such an unstyled way."

"He doesn't hate me, Merlin."

Fury sighed and explained to Merlin:

"The people behind him want to bring down Alexander Pierce, who was my former officer. Pierce has now entered the World Security Council, and many people in that position are watching, but they are not good at shooting Pierce directly, so they Put the target on me. Once I am found to have any flaws, it will be directly implicated in Pierce."

"so what?"

Merlin replied:

"Have you been holding back like this?"

"A sharp counterattack requires an opportunity, Merlin."

Fury said:

"And opportunities won't come by themselves. We have to look for them patiently. When Kohler shows his feet, we will overthrow him in one fell swoop! But these things have nothing to do with you. In the current list of the Strategic Dangerous Intervention and Espionage Logistics Department, you are just A humble first-class field agent. Do your job, Merlin, and that list you're about to make...is important."

"ok, I get it."

Merlin put on his sunglasses and waved to Fury. He said:

"Then take care! Once I find out, I will contact you immediately."

"No!"

Fury stopped Merlin's words. He handed Merlin a note with an address on it. He said:

"You keep a one-line contact with me. If you find anything, just go to this address to find me... Be careful not to be followed by others."

"Don't worry! In this regard, I have confidence."

Merlin twisted the car key, and the Ford made a roar, carrying Merlin all the way out of the parking lot.

The roar of the car and the sound of the lock being broken attracted two other agents. When Fury left the parking lot, the two guys in suits and leather shoes blocked Fury's eyes. They said to Fury seriously:

"Agent Fury, you have no right to destroy confiscated public property! This kind of destruction requires..."

"You mean, you want to punish me?"

Fury interrupted the agent in front of him arrogantly. He took a step forward, and his 1.9-meter-high body pressed over like a wall.He stretched out his finger and tapped on the agent's chest. He said every word with a murderous look:

"Let Khloe tell me this!"

"If he has anything to say to me, let him come in person! Instead of sending two meaningless pawns!"

The two young men were intimidated by Fury's aura, and they didn't dare to say anything more.

After all, in front of them is not only an excellent secret service officer, but also a former elite soldier, a real veteran who has wandered between life and death many times.

Even though Kohler has demoted Fury, everyone in this building knows that Nick Fury is the real boss here.

"Where is my office?"

Fury asked with a gloomy face, and an agent tremblingly pointed to the roof, Fury glared at him, and then swaggered into the elevator.

At the moment when the elevator closed, Fury cursed to himself:

"Strategic Danger Intervention and Espionage Logistics?"

"Bah! What a bad name!"
