The era of American comics begins

Chapter 555

"Become the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.", this sounds like a very cool position, and even bragging with acquaintances feels more face.But that's only for the uninformed.For Daisy who actually took over this position, the job of Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. can be described by various adjectives, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the word "easy and handsome".

She had imagined it before, how handsome was Nick Fury when he was a chief?Eyes and ears all over the world, elusive, erratic, wearing a handsome fur coat all the year round sitting in a fully air-conditioned office (air conditioning is public money anyway), dispatching and commanding various major events in various fields around the world calmly, quite There is a kind of general demeanor who is strategizing behind the scenes.

But in fact, when you sit in this position yourself, you will find that it is not the case at all!As Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., you have to keep abreast of what's going on in every corner of the world, and the truth is, how can you have so much energy alone?What is the fluctuation of world oil prices, what is the military technology breakthrough of a certain major country, and what is even an ancient ruin dug up by archaeologists in a certain place that is suspected to be a magic tool
Daisy suddenly felt as if she had become the nanny of the whole earth, and she was responsible for all the trivial matters.She was sweating profusely from signing documents and reading reports all day long. How could she enjoy the pleasure of commanding and dispatching in such a leisurely way?
If it's just these things, it's fine, she can actually handle these things.The point is that she has to find time to speak bureaucratly in the spare time between busying with these things.Just like Nick Fury in the past, she also had to regularly report to the newly established World Security Council on various work matters of S.H.I.E.L.D. In many decision-making aspects, she had to fight with the old men.After all, sometimes leaders and grassroots executives look at problems from different perspectives, and sometimes those old men's ideas are too wild and unconstrained, and there is no possibility of implementation at all.Daisy almost broke her mouth with them several times, and was reprimanded by the group of old men shaking her head as "not capable enough to do things well", which made Daisy's nose crooked.

For example, an old man said that the new Aegis has invested tens of billions of funds in the deep space defense line and built a space station, so he took it for granted and asked Daisy: "How many aliens have you caught now?" Daisy was
Then when he heard that they "didn't catch even one", the old man shook his head again and again, saying that she was poor, and that it was a waste of money to spend so much money on her.Daisy was so angry that she shook the old man's old bones to pieces on the spot.

She wanted to say that you are so awesome, why don't you catch one yourself?Do you think that I, my boss, can fly around in the universe casually every day, and catching aliens is as easy as catching insects?

Well, thinking about it this way, maybe she can really ask the boss to catch some aliens to make up the number.
Daisy couldn't figure it out. How did Nick Fury deal with such a bunch of bosses who didn't understand P and only gave orders all day long?

She couldn't help but ask her adjutant Maria Hill, after all, she was an adjutant in S.H.I.E.L.D. when Fury was in power.As a result, Hill told her, "Oh, those old guys are like that sometimes, just leave them alone."

Daisy asked: "So how did Fury deal with these unreasonable demands?"

Hill said: "At a time like this, if it was Commissioner Fury, he would say that the matter is not impossible but that the money is not in place. He would say that if the higher-ups can allocate another [-] to [-] billion, then catch an alien It's not impossible for people. Then those old men will generally shut up at this time."

Daisy: "."

Routine, routine, all routine.

Then, apart from these mortal old men, the other most vexing problem, which is also the most troublesome problem for most people on the planet, is the problem of funds.

S.H.I.E.L.D. is said to be a super organization occupying the entire world, with ears and eyes all over the world, and countless bases. It sounds grand, but it burns money!
What do you do these days without spending money?The monthly maintenance cost of those black-tech amphibious floating carriers that can fly and be invisible is astronomical, not to mention there are so many Quinjet fighter jets, energy tanks, and Aegis branches around the world.In addition, Aegis has set up a bunch of messy laboratories all over the world, all of which are researching cutting-edge technologies that are at the forefront of the world, and the annual bills can also scare people's scalp numb.

Of course, these units also have Tianjian, and Tianjian is much larger than Aegis in all aspects.But Tianjian directly inherited the foundation left by the entire Hydra, and the annual expenditure is large and there are also many profitable units.Like Hydra's previous company groups, industrial organizations, and even some dark business forces, they have all been inherited by Tianjian, and they can be completely self-sufficient.

But Aegis is different.Aegis has no idea of ​​making money at all, all expenses are all public funds, and all the food is the state's money.
These miscellaneous expenses are enough to burn money, but they are only expenses on the surface.Daisy thought that, as the head of a super-secret organization like SHIELD, she must have a top-secret safehouse, right?

Don't you say that Fury is as generous as Fury, and even the most foolish place in Antarctica has established its own security stronghold and equipped with the most first-class defense system, but at least the world's major powers must have their own territory in key locations, right?
The most important words of the so-called "top secret bases" are of course "top secret", so these bases must only be known to her, and cannot be recorded in black and white in the bill.So here comes the question - those Quinjet fighter jets, laser guns, and top defense systems cost money, right?Since it can't be included in the bill, how can she ask the council for money?

This question baffled Director Dai again. She always felt embarrassed to ask her superiors for [-] million to [-] million yuan every time she opened her mouth. Wouldn’t it be considered corruption to ask for money for such a reason? ?She felt that she was a good official with integrity, justice and integrity, and it was embarrassing to do such a thing.

So she ran to ask Hill again.As a result, Deputy Director Hill said: "Oh, it's all trivial matters. Every time Fury has something to apply for funds, the unit is at least one billion, and he can always have hundreds of millions in savings every time. After a long time, you will naturally lose money on hand." rich."

Daisy: "."

Anything like this?
She seems to have discovered the gap between herself as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Nick Fury.

To put it simply, the skin is not thick enough.
