Osborne Megacorp

In just a few weeks after Norman came to power, a large number of high-ranking officials were sent to prison. After seeing the evidence of their crimes, civilians across the United States applauded. Norman seemed to have really fulfilled his promise:

Put power in the hands of American civilians.

The public trial of senior CIA officials has even left foreign powers scratching their heads.

Among them, political families like the Rawlings family should be reunited in prison next Christmas.

In a holding cell, William Rollins meets a former acquaintance of his: Frank Custer.

"Agent Orange, long time no see. I didn't expect you."

"So this is what you want? Send everyone to jail? Custer, you are such a bastard." William looked ferocious and lost his power. He was as manic as if he had a withdrawal reaction.

Frank didn't take it easy on him and knocked him to the ground with one punch.

"Yes, that's what I want. Take away what you got through dirty means. What do you have left?" Grabbing William by the collar, Frank wanted to blind this guy's other eye.

"Haha, then tell me, why don't you go to jail? Do you think you are clean?" William sprayed blood on Frank's face.

At this moment Harry pushed open the door and walked in.

"Because Frank Custer has been taken to jail, and here is another Frank Custer." Harry glanced at the bald head and handed Frank a document.

"The identity of Frank Custer is history. Your family and friends are all finished with their new identities, except for your brother Billy Russell, who owns a military contracting company."

Hearing this, William Rollins laughed loudly: "Billy Russell? You are such a fool, Custer, he has been with me from the beginning to the end!"

"Who do you think gave him the first money when he returned to China? You idiot!"

Frank heard this and punched Rollins to the ground, then raised his head and looked at Harry.

Harry said: "Well... I suggest you investigate it yourself. After all, this is your private matter."

He has no interest in intervening in the private affairs between the two brothers. Even if Russell becomes the villain Jigsaw, he is just a mental patient and cannot make any waves.

In the White House, Norman is working on documents at his desk.

There were footsteps outside the door, and CIA Director Marianne and NSA Director Lafite were led by office staff to his desk.

Norman raised his head:

"Ms. Marian, Mr. Raffi, I'm glad you are here today. Please take a seat. I have another document that needs to be signed. Please wait a moment."

The two looked at each other and sat on the chairs that had been prepared for them.

"How are you two working recently? I know you have encountered many difficulties recently, such as the NSA's Prism program and the exposure of CIA agents using illegal means to work abroad."

Norman flipped through the papers, shaking his head as he spoke.

Rafi and Marianne probably knew what the president wanted to talk about.

Snapped.

Norman signed the document and put it aside.

"I want to say, what have we been doing for so many years? Monitoring our citizens and allies, even producing addictive drugs at home, putting them in the stomachs of dead soldiers, selling them abroad, and then conducting secret operations?"

"Don't you know anything about aliens? Even if you don't talk about aliens, aren't you even a little vigilant about AIM and Roxon?"

Norman's words made the two big guys unable to hold their heads up.

There is no way. The NSA is affiliated with the Department of Defense, which is an administrative agency and is under the control of Norman. Although the CIA is highly independent, it is still responsible to the president. Moreover, this was the purpose of their establishment from the beginning - to help the president make decisions. decision making.

It's just that after the Cold War, there were many more tasks - such as conducting subversive operations abroad.

After the Cold War, the United States seized the opportunity to become an intelligence power. However, the divisions between various intelligence agencies are not clear and the relationship between them is quite subtle.

There are a total of more than a dozen intelligence agencies in the United States, all of which are nominally managed by the Director of National Intelligence, but in actual operation they are usually run independently, especially the CIA.

With the support of Osborne Company, Norman can certainly continue to instigate war and make enough money for his son and family.

But war is obviously harmful to national development, and the only people who are beneficial are those members of the military-industrial complex.

And Harry doesn't want to make this money, so the foreign strategy must change.

With Osborne's technology, resources and energy conditions have changed, it no longer makes sense to grab these things. If you want to grab them, you have to grab them in outer space. Resource monopoly will be difficult to achieve in the future. The key is technology and humanities. thing.

So the CIA must be reorganized. This agency is really notorious.

Then Norman spoke.

"I want to reorganize the CIA. Hostile actions against other countries must end. Times have changed."

Marianne jumped up immediately: "No, Mr. President, the existence of the CIA is necessary, we..."

However, under Norman's gaze, she felt that she had lost all her confidence and got stuck mid-sentence.

Norman held his chin with his hands and said: "No matter from any angle, the existence of the CIA has brought shame to this country. I have signed the relevant administrative decrees. The CIA will complete the reorganization with the help of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Director of National Intelligence. .”

"The CIA's mission is over, Director Marianne."

Facing Norman's sentence, Marianne opened her mouth.

What she cares about most is the CIA, and for this reason she can even make up the statement: "In order for the vast majority of Americans to sleep well, they must do these dirty things" to comfort herself.

But when Norman said it was over in an understatement, she felt as if her life had been denied.

Like a piece of used up paper being gently thrown to the ground.

Seeing her appearance, Norman smiled and continued:

"But thank you for your loyalty to the United States for so many years. Although the CIA is gone, there is another organization that needs you, Ms. Marianne."

Hearing this, Marianne's eyes regained their luster.

Norman continued: "I plan to establish a department dedicated to outer space affairs, and you will be integrated into this department to collect intelligence on extraterrestrial affairs."

"Outer space?" Marianne was stunned. She could be said to be familiar with asking her to go to foreign countries to obtain intelligence, but aliens?

"Yes, take a broader view. Obviously those guys called SHIELD have a lot of this information, but they have never made it public. You can start from them."

At this point, Marianne also understood what it meant.

Just let her get information from SHIELD first.

"Then Mr. Lafite, I hope you can declassify the relevant details of the Prism Project."

Now it was Lafite's turn to be confused - although the Prism Project has been exposed, it has not stopped. Does decrypting this plan mean that it is abandoned?

The Prism Project seems illegal, but in fact, within the framework of the Patriot Act, it is not a clear violation of the law. Moreover, according to opinion polls, although a large number of people oppose the official collection of ordinary people's phone records, more people I think this plan is necessary.

"We canceled the Prism project and promoted ctOS." Norman said, "Use ctOS to replace eavesdropping and build a transparent information network nationwide to prevent KB attacks and crimes."

In fact, it is to change eavesdropping into blatant surveillance, and then narrow the scope to the United States, and no longer rely on the products of multinational companies to eavesdrop on foreigners and forces.

The cancellation of the Prism Project is the voice of the people, as is the prevention of KB attacks and the reduction of crime rates.

Lafite thought for a moment and roughly understood what Norman meant.

He hesitated and asked: "But this will cause us to lose our advantage in intelligence, which may not be a good thing for the country."

Norman handed all the documents to be issued to his secretary, and then answered his questions:

"The battles between countries no longer matter, Controller Lafite, you will see this soon, and it all depends on how far we can go from here."

Seeing that the meeting was about to end, Marianne suddenly thought of a question:

"Mr. President, you said that I would be responsible for the intelligence work of a department. What is the name of this newly established department?"

Norman smiled and said: "Heavenly Hammer Bureau."
