The legendary life of a manga

Chapter 401 Minister Kelly who intends to resign

It's just a personal arrangement, what a big deal.

and……

Lake has a good impression of Lieutenant Sullivan. Since Maria Hill wants to take her away, Lake is also willing to make a favor and let Lieutenant Sullivan go to the super-investigation bureau together, so that Lieutenant Sullivan will not be punished for wearing small shoes in the future. destiny.

Do not believe?

Ha ha.

When this matter is over, once the dust settles, if Lieutenant Sullivan is still here, and Lake and Maria Hill have already gone to the super-investigation bureau, then Lieutenant Sullivan will definitely be wearing small shoes, the kind that is nailed on the board.

the reason is simple.

From Lake's point of view, Lieutenant Sullivan was a worried officer, but from the military's point of view, or, in General Greg's point of view, this was disobedience to orders and not a good soldier.

If this matter is over, if Lieutenant Sullivan is still here, some bad news may be passed on. For example, Lieutenant Sullivan stayed here to provide purging.

Look.

The real rules of the game have never been written down in any written documents, but unfortunately, people outside still follow the law. Unfortunately, the law is only the bottom line and nothing else.

"Have you set the time yet?"

"Ah."

Maria Hill looked at the time on her watch: "Leaving in half an hour, is Director Edwin interested in going to see it together?"

Lake looked at Hill: "Maria, are you inviting me?"

Hill shrugged: "If it was an invitation, would you go?"

"will not."

"is it?"

Lake nodded, and then explained: "If I go, I may send some bad information. This matter is already a matter of the military, not the Department of Homeland Security."

As soon as the front foot said to transfer the case, the back foot ran to Afghanistan.

What is this like?

At that time, if one is careless and is directly misunderstood, it will not only be as simple as eating alone, but will also add treacherous eating alone.

Lake originally had no idea of ​​raising his military rank by one level in the past two years.

But after this incident happened, Lake felt that he had hope, so if he wanted to make a fuss, he would make a fuss when he became a general, and he could be considered a military talker.

At that time, Lake will be the dual speaker of the military and federal law enforcement circles.

At that time.

You can almost say to Nick Fury, I will send you away thousands of miles away, you are silent and black and white.

Maria Hill nodded, then said, "Sorry, I don't know."

She didn't know the specifics of the transaction, but after Lake's words came out, Maria Hill, who was as smart as Maria Hill, understood instantly.

Lake smiled: "It's okay, just go to New York early, I'm waiting for my administrative commander to come back in New York."

Maria Hill said, "I promise I won't keep you waiting."

"I am looking forward."

"Me too."

Lake nodded, hugged Maria Hill, said see you in New York, then got into his sister Betty's car, started it, and left the army base directly.

night time.

After dinner, I told you about General Ross, and under Betty's eyes of curiosity and desire that year, before Lake had a glass of after-dinner wine, he was called to the backyard by Karen up.

but……

Karen just asked about the relationship between Lake and Maria Hill, and Lake answered accordingly. Then, Karen nodded and said as usual that this is your life and I will not interfere. But I hope you can handle it.

Lake is naturally obedient.

When Karen was about to re-enter the house, she seemed to think of something, and asked Lake, "By the way, my granddaughter Catherine is in Fox Town, Washington State."

Lake nodded: "Yes, haven't you been there?"

In the second year of Lake and Karen's confession, Lake and Karen took time to go to Fox Town.

Karen smiled, said something to confirm, and then returned to the living room as if everything was fine.

Lake blinked, if he hadn't respected Karen, at this time, the force of chaos had already been used, so he went to find out by himself.

the next day.

Lake seized the time and arrived at the Homeland Security Headquarters building on time, and knocked on Secretary Kelly's office door.

"Dong dong!"

"Come in."

Lake pushed the door open, greeted Minister Kelly who was sitting on his office chair, and then sat down on the sofa very easily: "Minister, I have booked a ticket for noon, can I make it in time? "

Minister Kelly chuckled, got up, and walked towards Lake: "Homeland Security, New York State Department, go back to New York to take a passenger plane. Guess, do I believe it?"

Lake said: "Mr. Minister, as you said, don't use the private plane for non-official business."

Minister Kelly sneered: "Then why did the special plane of the Bureau of Homeland Security land at Dongguo Capital Airport some time ago? Good guy, Mr. President even asked me if someone ran away."

Lake laughed loudly: "Minister, I assure you, no one knows patriotism better than me."

Again.

All of Lake's resumes are telling that Lake is an iron-clad patriot, just like a sentence once said, anyone may treason, including the president, but Lake is absolutely impossible to treason.

The rant is over.

Lake smiled and said, "Minister, what is it?"

Minister Kelly opened the wine bottle with a bang, and seemed to magically take out two wine glasses from a certain interlayer. After pouring two glasses, he said, "It's about my successor."

Lake smiled and said, "Minister, I have answered this question for you."

He was doing so well in New York State, and he had a real base, so he lost his own base and ran to Washington?

are you crazy.

Besides, Rachel would go crazy, after all, Rachel just moved to New York from DC.

Minister Kelly shook his head and said, "I'll let you think about it. You know, the Minister of Homeland and the New York State Department are two levels."

Lake leaned on the sofa: "Of course I know, but I still don't want to come to Washington."

This is for Washington itself.

Lake likes to play simple and rough games, and the same sentence, if Lake settles in Washington, I'm afraid that in the future, if he happens, he will destroy all of Washington.

Then it won't be fun.

Minister Kelly said directly: "Don't worry, the new minister doesn't like you?"

The corner of Lake's mouth curled up.

True.

Since Lake joined the Department of Homeland Security, Secretary Kelly and Lake have cooperated perfectly. There is no doubt that Secretary Kelly is a very good leader.

But there are other reasons for this, such as the old friendship between Lake and Minister Kelly at play.

But what about the next one?

After working together for so many years, Minister Kelly is very clear about Lake's character. He was able to command and move Lake because of the tacit understanding and trust between the two, but what about his successor.

Will this cooperation continue?
Minister Kelly is not optimistic about this. He admires Lake very much and knows that Lake has a bright future. When SHIELD helped force Lake from the New York Police Department to the Department of Homeland Security, Minister Kelly does not want his next term to force Lake away. , Made a wedding dress for someone else.

So the best solution is to let Lake become the second secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.

This is the best solution.

but……

Lake understood Minister Kelly's meaning, and still smiled and said, "Don't worry, Minister, I'm so easy-going, how could anyone dislike me, or, when the time comes, you will move to New York and have a relationship with that retired Alexander How about becoming a consultant to the Superintendent, like Pierce?"

Say it again.

But if the thing that Minister Kelly is worried about happens, then there will only be one ending.

At least the new minister died suddenly.

Importantly...

Ha ha.

Family reunion!

But this kind of thing should not happen. If the new minister has some wisdom, then he should be able to understand one thing very well. The reason why he became the new Minister of Land and Resources is not because of his outstanding ability. It was only because Lake didn't like Washington and liked to stay in New York, so he was able to be elected.

As long as the new minister realizes this, Lake feels that he and the new minister will still be able to cooperate tacitly and continue to be a tool minister honestly.

Minister Kelly is also a tool man, but he is a tool man who Lake has feelings for. The attributes of friends are greater than those of tool people.

"Hey!"

Minister Kelly seemed to be unable to persuade Lake, so he simply didn't bother to talk about this matter that would only waste his time and energy. He directly asked what happened yesterday: "I'm afraid it's not just you who exposed Merrick. Investigate their relationship."

Lake smiled, and directly talked about the discovery of a little black girl who was alive and kicking the next day after her throat was cut and almost beheaded at the Afghan base.

Minister Kelly was slightly taken aback: "Is this true?"

Lake shrugged: "Who knows, hell exists, and magical animals also exist. If there is an immortal, what's the problem?"

Minister Kelly was taken aback again, smiled, and nodded: "That's right, but we know, others don't."

Just like the resurrection of clones cannot really be resurrected, some things will only spread in a small area. Most, at least 90.00% of people think that science can make them really not die.

If science is useful, to put it in a bad way, what is the use of being extraordinary?

but……

Lake sipped the wine in his glass: "Minister, you still have my small medicine bottle."

Minister Kelly patted his chest: "One drop a day, the effect is great."

Lake raised his glass: "Then I wish Mr. Minister a happy retirement?"

Minister Kelly laughed loudly: "Retirement, there are still six months left this year."

Lake nodded: "I know, I won't be here this year when I return to New York this time, so congratulations in advance, it's okay."

Secretary Kelly: "..."

　Why do you keep talking more and more?
　　Now this year's readers are becoming more and more difficult to recruit.

　　Hey!
　　uncomfortable.

　　Work hard, code words...

　　Oh oh oh!
　　My vacation.

　　Hey!
