Marvel Administrative Officer

Chapter 140 Everyone Loves Captain ([-] in [-])

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed...

In the early morning of this day, Jack changed into a well-made suit early, just because today is a big day... the day when the watchtower base was completed and the rapid reaction force was established.

Also today, President Benjamin will name Captain America Steve Rogers as Commander of the Quick Reaction Force and Jack Murdoch as the Quick Reaction Force Liaison Officer.

So Jack made preparations early in the morning... When the time came to 8 o'clock, Jack took the car driven by Mark to the watchtower base.

Although Jack felt that he came very early, Dr. Hank was earlier, and he was leading the staff to check the monitoring equipment and security facilities in the lobby.

"Good morning, Dr. Hank." Jack greeted proactively.

"Good morning, Jack... I just checked the press room, and all the preparations are ready." Dr. Hank reported the work incidentally.

Because Dr. Hank did not join the rapid response force, he only helped out of favor, which made Jack very embarrassed, and he invited again:

"It's been too hard for you during this time, don't you really think about the quick reaction force? The treatment is generous...Of course the most important reason is that we need you!"

Jack knew in his heart that Hank was not a person who would be attracted by material things, so he temporarily played the emotional card.

Dr. Hanke chuckled and replied: "You can call me anytime, but I don't want to join any official organization."

Jack nodded and didn't get entangled anymore, he respected Hank's wishes.

While the two were talking, the secretary Natalie came over with a swaying figure. She also came very early.

After a polite nod to Dr. Hank, Natalie reports to Jack:
"Boss, White House Chief of Staff Rachel and General Hawk have confirmed that they will come to the ceremony on time, and Mr. Justin Hammer would like to make an appointment for you tomorrow morning?"

"Hammer? What's the matter with him?" Jack was a little surprised to hear this name.

Natalie shook her head, "He didn't say anything on the phone, but I guess it has something to do with the equipment of the quick reaction force!"

Jack suddenly realized...

Proposed by President Benjamin and driven by Jack's own efforts...Congress approved a budget of 1200 billion US dollars for the rapid response force and the establishment of 3000 people. Of course, the money and establishment will not be in place at one time, but in any case, this is a big cake .

Just why did Hammer think he would choose Hammer Industries?

Even if Stark Industries quit the weapons manufacturing industry, Jack would rather use Stark's overstock, just to help Tony destock...

So Jack said decisively:

"Reject Hammer, I still have a lot of things to do!"

Natalie nodded obediently, and then continued: "Captain America has returned from Washington, and he is chatting with Mr. Havel in the tea room on the tenth floor."

When Dr. Hanke designed the watchtower base, he divided the building into different areas. In addition to the office area and training area, it is also equipped with a rest area and a living area, so this base is not just a working place for the rapid response force. It is also where they live.

Jack took Mark to the tea room very quickly. He was very familiar with the terrain, after all, he participated in the supervision of the whole process.

In the tea room, Raymond and the captain were sitting face to face. The two were chatting happily and burst into laughter from time to time.

"What are you talking about?" Jack interjected, stepping forward.

Raymond laughed again, before replying, "I was sharing my childhood anecdote with Captain. It was 1955, and I came to New York from Philadelphia... the first day of school, and some bad boys blocked me. In the alley, I wasn't strong back then, but I didn't give up, every time I fell down, I would say "I can fight like this all day", and then stand up... In the end, I made it with those bad boys best friend."

The stories Raymond shared were ordinary, but very American!
To put it bluntly, the spirit of Captain America has infected two whole generations.

Jack chuckled twice, then teasingly asked the captain: "How does it feel to be robbed of lines by others?"

The US team shrugged and made a weird and funny expression: "To be honest, I didn't know that Carter and Damm would make a documentary about me. I went to the Captain America Memorial and I think what they described God, not Steve Rogers."

As a third-generation American after World War II, Jack's feelings for Captain America have gradually faded. At least he has never been to the Captain America Exhibition Hall, so he can understand the captain's mood a little bit.

When I wake up, the career I pursued has been successful, but my lover is late, and the society is out of touch... Fortunately, the captain is a very tenacious person, and he will definitely be able to survive this difficult time.

The three chatted about some unimportant matters, and then Captain America left. His personal assistant was already calling for him to change his clothes.

After the US team left, Jack turned to Raymond and said sincerely:
"Mr. Havel, it's an honor to have you join my team..."

Raymond laughed and said: "It should be me thanking you for taking a fancy to me, an old guy... In fact, if it weren't for Christine's illness, I should have agreed to you as early as your third visit to Philadelphia, but luckily It's not too late now... and I've hit a good time, not everyone has the opportunity to drink tea with Captain America."

Raymond's laughter infected Jack, and he laughed too.

For a long time, Jack's actions have always been trembling, because he knows in his heart that apart from his understanding of the plot, he is just an ordinary person... In the Marvel world where "Superman" walks everywhere, he must be cautious!
Raymond's wisdom and experience are exactly what Jack needs most.

The two laughed for a while, and then Jack continued to ask: "How is Christine's situation? In fact, you don't have to report so early. I think you should spend more time with her..."

"Actually, I didn't take the initiative to come here, but Christine and Shining made an appointment...so I just accompany the guests."

In the past month, Christine and Blink, who are in similar grades, have become best friends. Christine, who has a bit of a melancholy temperament, has been driven crazy by Blink.

Jack, who is familiar with Shining's character, said helplessly: "Maybe I should ask the tutor to double the homework of Shining, so that she can be quieter."

Raymond laughed again. He was an old man who loved to laugh, but after laughing, his expression turned serious.
"Jack, what do you envision for your future..."

Jack was stunned for a moment. He knew that he and Raymond would have a formal conversation sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come so early!
Jack knew in his heart that if he wanted Raymond to help him make the most correct judgment, he couldn't lie. After thinking about his language a little, Jack said:

"In fact, I have a little special ability. I can dream about the future! In my dream, the earth in the future will be attacked by alien dark forces. At this time, the battle that will determine the fate of the universe, my thoughts are in In the past ten years, we have united the strength of the vast majority of people on Earth to fight against this dark force..."

"So, your primary goal is to become the President of the United States?" Raymond did not question Jack's words, but asked calmly.

Jack's eyes dimmed a bit,
"In fact, I have given up on this idea. As you once reminded me, no matter how hard I try, my age is a fatal loophole... Before the arrival of the alien army, I am afraid I have no chance to become the President of the United States!"

Raymond stood up and patted Jack on the shoulder. He encouraged with a smile:

"Jack, the system is not constant, you have to have confidence in yourself! And you are doing very well now, I have known your team, and you have gathered a strong force.

Although I don't know how powerful the alien forces you mentioned are, but I have confidence in you and the earth. We will use ten years to prepare, and then completely defeat the enemy. "

Raymond's words inspired Jack, his eyes became firm...

In order to face Thanos, Jack has made a lot of preparations. Even in his previous life, the final victory still belongs to humans, so he has nothing to be depressed about!
Seeing Jack regain his strength, Raymond said again: "The time for the ceremony is coming soon, you should go to the scene earlier... I will use all my strength to help you."

Jack nodded, then extended his right hand, "Welcome to my team again."

Raymond smiled and took Jack's hand.

……

The ceremony for the establishment of the Quick Reaction Force was very simple, because Jack hates lengthy ceremonies... Of course, the ceremony is simple, but the pomp is not small!

It can be seen from the guests present...

The White House represents Rachel the Chief of Staff, the Pentagon represents General Hawke, Congress represents Congressman Kane, New York City Mayor Snyder, S.H.I.E.L.D. director Fury... many bigwigs from both military and political circles gathered.

Jack, who has always paid attention to media relations, also invited all the well-known journalists in the United States.

Under the non-stop spotlight, Captain America Steve Rogers, dressed in a classic blue and white combat uniform and holding a shield, received the letter of appointment from White House chief of staff Rachel, which also represents that the rapid reaction force is on the spot at this moment. established!
Because Jack does not want to expose his identity too much, his appointment will be done in private.

After that, the captain's inauguration speech...

Although it has been frozen for nearly 70 years, the captain is not stage-frightened. He is an American version of a "political commissar" who is good at boosting morale through speeches.
His passionate speech set off the climax of the ceremony!
The subsequent media question and answer time was even more lively...

The whole United States is paying attention to this legend who has been resurrected from the dead. They spy on the secret of the captain's resurrection, want to know the captain's life, and look forward to the captain's future actions...

Seeing the continuous sound of questions and answers in the arena, Tony, who was standing on the side window sill with Jack, was a little jealous.

"Jack, did you buy the reporter in advance? Don't you think a nearly hundred-year-old guy is a little too easy?"

Jack couldn't help but smile,
"Tony, we have to recognize the strengths of others! The captain is a born leader!"

Tony curled his lips and mocked: "Natural? I remember that before the injection of the super soldier serum, he was a short man of only 1.6 meters, and he was plagued by diseases such as scarlet fever..."

Listening to Tony rambling about Captain America's past, Jack couldn't help turning his head to look at him,

"Tony, have you been to the Captain America Memorial?"

"How come... I won't go to that kind of place!"

Looking at Tony's blushing face, Jack couldn't help laughing and said:
"Don't deny it, Tony! Otherwise how can you explain that you know so much about the captain's past?"

Seeing that he couldn't deny it, Tony snorted and stopped talking.

This made Jack couldn't help laughing even more...

"Is there anything interesting you can share with me?"

Behind the two of them, Fury's voice came suddenly.

Jack turned his head and teased, "Mr. Director, I thought you would be sitting in the first row of the hall..."

Fury ignored Jack's teasing, tilted his head and said, "I'm here to give a gift... I've found where Stryker is hiding, and I hope this gift will satisfy the liaison officer!"

Jack turned around immediately. He was not surprised that S.H.I.E.L.D. was able to find Stryker... Although S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra are entangled, they are still the largest intelligence organization in the world.

Jack also understood in his heart that Fury's move was also to demonstrate the power of S.H.I.E.L.D. and increase the appeal of intelligence... Jack couldn't resist this attraction.

"Fury, I've talked to the captain, he can accept joint command."

Fury twitched the corners of his mouth expressionlessly, and Jack thought he was smiling...

Then the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. said directly: "Strike is at the Akali Lake base."

Jack was not surprised by Stryker's strategy of knowing that the most dangerous place is the safest place, but he was a little surprised by Fury's straightforwardness,
"Aren't you afraid that I will change my mind? And don't we need to discuss the details of the joint command?"

"Will you change your mind? As for the details, that's not important. I don't intend to bother Captain America with any trivial matter. I will only use him in a serious crisis. At that time, will the quick response force be indifferent?"

Jack frowned secretly, he heard Fury's secret sarcasm, overqualified?

To be honest, although Jack first pulled Captain America into his camp, he didn't feel much about Captain America's combat power. Compared with Thor and the Hulk, Captain America can only deal with some miscellaneous soldiers.

But looking at Fury's confident appearance, Jack felt very weird, so he decided to test this black corned egg.

"Fury, I will let the captain go and capture Stryker..."

Fury replied blankly: "This is your right... I still have something to do, let's go first."

Looking at Fury's back that was not muddled at all, Jack couldn't help but asked Tony:
"Does the captain have any strengths that I haven't discovered?"

Tony raised his eyebrows: "Old Antique and I have never gotten along, but do you really plan to let Old Antique lead a team to capture Stryker?"

Jack laughed, no matter why Captain America is so valued by Fury, at least he is a soldier who is absolutely loyal to the human camp, why should he worry about it,

"Tony, aren't you curious about his fighting power?"

"I hope his old bones don't lack calcium!"
