The era of American comics begins

Chapter 374 Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

When Mr. President pronounced the name of Tony Stark, the audience was almost boiling.And when Tony Stark in a suit and leather shoes stepped forward from the backstage and waved to the camera like a big star, the shouts almost overturned the roof.

No one expected that such an arrangement would allow Tony Stark and Iron Man to lead this brand new S.H.I.E.L.D. and take on the task of defending the world again.But if you think about it carefully, such an arrangement seems to be really reasonable.

After S.H.I.E.L.D. was exposed to serious infiltration incidents before, the trust in S.H.I.E.L.D. from the public to the top leaders of various countries has dropped to the bottom.The power and power wielded by this mysterious and huge institution is already distasteful to many people, and its notoriously low transparency is often criticized by people.The incident of Hydra infiltration has become the fuse of all dissatisfaction, so in order to restore the establishment of S.H.I.E.L.D., a new director with extremely high popularity and charisma is necessary anyway.

In short, SHIELD needs a new face as its signature.

In fact, it was Steve Rogers and Captain America who entered the list of candidates at the beginning. As a war hero who miraculously awakened from the frozen state, Captain America becoming the director will definitely save a lot of trouble for the newborn SHIELD.Captain America was quickly nominated in the White House, but it was a pity that they had only made initial contact with Convenience, who made it clear that he did not intend to be the official.

So the next thing they saw was Tony Stark.Also as the leader of the Avengers, Stark is obviously not as suitable as Rogers in terms of the position of Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.First of all, during the long-term business dealings between the Stark Group and the military in the past, Stark's bad temper was widely circulated among the big figures at the top.Coupled with some of his well-known character flaws in the past, many people are actually not optimistic that he can be the director of a special agency like S.H.I.E.L.D.

But there is one thing about Stark that is very necessary for the new Aegis, and that is popularity.

Iron Man is one of the most well-known superheroes in the world today, and is quite popular among the people. It can be said that it is the most suitable signboard for the new Aegis.In addition, this also links Aegis and the Avengers through Iron Man. Stark, as the director of Aegis, is also the leader of the Avengers. In this way, Aegis faces some difficult problems that conventional agents cannot handle. He will naturally arrange for the Avengers to solve it.

When Nick Fury was still in office, many people above put pressure on him many times to find a way to recruit the Avengers into the establishment of Aegis, but he failed to do so until the end of Aegis' disbandment.Now, although the Avengers are still a completely independent private armed force in name, they are already equivalent to the extension of Aegis through the connection of Iron Man.

In addition, only a few people in the White House, including the president, know that Stark was chosen as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. to facilitate the smooth development of a certain arrangement in the future.
Tony shook hands with Mr. President, then went behind the podium.The bustling audience fell silent, all the cameras were focused on him, and everyone's eyes widened, for fear of missing a moment.

Tony moistened his throat: "Well, I haven't shown up in public for a while. Because I have been busy with things, I haven't been able to rest well. My secretary, Miss Potts, always reminds me that I should think less and spend more Time to take care of myself and not other people The minimum she gave me was to get at least six hours of sleep at night. But... well, that was a little too much.

Because the truth is, I can't sleep at all, every day and every night.

Just thinking about the dangers this world might face, about the conquerors out there stalking us, about the possibility that tomorrow the reality we live in might be shattered, I can't sleep peacefully. "

He paused, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

"That's what Iron Man was born for in the first place," he continued. "Iron Man was also a turning point in my personal life, the first meaningful thing in my extravagant, spoiled life. But despite my personal arrogance It's hard for me to admit it, but I soon realized the limits of Iron Man's power. I was able to change more things than before, but not enough. The more I went through, the more I realized how little I was personally.

So then there's the Avengers, as you know.The Avengers have been doing their job well, and we've won many battles and saved Earth time and time again.But even so, we still can't prevent the world from being damaged and riddled with holes.

So that's why I'm here today, doing something that I never even thought I'd do one day.People around me say I'm crazy, they say I'm stepping into territory I shouldn't be.Maybe, maybe I just can't be a good enough director.But I'm here because I believe it's necessary, so I'm going to do the best I can."

"Mr. Stark is really quick to enter the scene." Xue Liping lay on a rectangular glass table in the laboratory, shaking her calf mischievously, "He really looks like a director."

Michael watched from the side, silently without speaking.

Tony Stark was appointed Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. He didn't expect it, but it seems reasonable to think about it.Iron Man's personal clout, as well as his relationship with the Avengers, are good resources for S.H.I.E.L.D.And in essence, Stark is still a businessman, and he will weigh and consider carefully, so for the superiors, they are more willing to deal with a director like Stark than Captain America.

"Since it has been officially announced," Michael said to himself suddenly, "that means, those guys have already planned the 'bill' in the next step?"

"You have a message, Mr. Passo." Shirley sat up from the glass table, jumped down lively, and said with a chuckle, "Miss Maximov would like to know when you are free this week."

"On the weekend night." Michael said casually, after thinking for a while, "No, tell her Thursday night. We have nothing to talk about with that Japanese consortium. Why don't we just drop the dinner? Well, or Just the day after tomorrow no, tomorrow. If I remember correctly, tomorrow night is a dinner party in the city, ask her if she is interested in going with her."

Shirley's expression was half a smile but not a smile: "How about today, sir? I think it's fine now."

". Shirley, you have evolved very fast recently?"

"Just kidding, sir. I will inform Miss Maximov that she will be there tomorrow." Shirley stuck out her tongue.
