Chapter 142 Special Affairs Control and Protection Bureau
If we go back a few hours, our Ash should be having his own back-to-back meetings at the Pentagon.
Since Ash was confirmed as the head of the new department, he has been forced to attend all formation meetings.
Although the construction of the new department has been carried out simultaneously, and construction has begun after the preliminary site selection, the meetings are still overwhelming.
It is worth mentioning that, given that the department was split from the military, and coupled with the abundant martial ethics of the Ami people, any issues that could not be agreed upon during the meeting were resolved with fists.
The negotiators have recruited a large number of people from Ross and Sheffield who are good at creating and reporting budgets to act as negotiators, but Ash has to find the goons himself.
After talking about this at the sacrificial site, Logan had to come with Ash for some reason.
Wolverine, who was originally unkempt and had a jacket that could last for hundreds of years, now turned into a high-end man wearing a suit and tie. Looking at the demanding Logan in front of him, Ash could only take him with him.
Fortunately, the military department has various confidentiality teams. Giving Logan a concealed identity will allow him to enter and leave the Pentagon Building freely, which will attract people's attention every time he passes through the security check.
Even in the Pentagon Building, there was a legend that there was a battle-experienced soldier beside Ash, and the shrapnel in his body could recreate a cannonball.
Logan's help is also huge. Even if he can't show his steel blade, his bones reinforced by Adamantium alloy are extremely useful in the physical negotiation process.
Ever since Logan punched each other in the first few physical negotiations, no one has asked for anything else.
Even later, as long as Logan coughed twice with a cigar in his mouth, the situation in the negotiation would change.
So at this moment, Ash was lying on the chair sleeping, and Logan was sitting next to him, paying attention to the atmosphere of the negotiation, ready to take action at any time.
Suddenly Ash's body trembled and he fell off the chair.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"It was like someone had stabbed me with a sword."
"Aren't you a doctor? You don't even know about muscle twitching?"
"Stark, when did you come?"
Yes, it was Tony Stark who asked and taunted Ash. He came here when Ash was sleeping and even sat next to Ash.
"Me? Don't forget that I am the special consultant you invited, and the construction of your new department will also depend on Stark's construction company."
Like a piece of meat on a hob, Ash returned to his lying state again and asked: "I forgot to ask, where is the location of the new department? It's too far away and it takes a lot of energy to go to work?"
Stark shook his head and said: "You are the chief of the department, and now you don't even know where your department is?"
Unexpectedly, Ash became sober and said: "This department was originally taken out of the military, and the personnel are also filled by the military. I am just managing it on my behalf. There is no need to worry so much."
"Your department is located on Long Island. At the same time, the base is equipped with a prison and a research institute, and it is even independently responsible for an anti-aircraft missile battalion."
"Long Island? Land prices are so expensive! How can you afford it?"
Faced with Ash's shock, Stark was even more shocked than Ash. Stark's tone was full of disbelief: "You live on Long Island. How long have you not paid attention to the situation on Long Island? Since the dimension invasion incident,
, Long Island’s housing prices have fallen again and again, and now they are almost free. If the military hadn’t taken over, Long Island’s housing prices would have definitely turned into another Detroit.”
Ash, who was lying uncomfortably, returned to a sitting position, took a sip of water on the table and said, "I don't need to care about those things. Anyway, all I have in my hands are precious metals, and my property will not suffer any loss."
.”
Such an indifferent answer made Stark start thinking.
"Do I want to convert part of my property into precious metal investment like you? But Stark itself is a military industry company, and precious metal investment is one of the group's projects. Do I want Pepper to increase investment?"
Seeing Stark who was minding his own business arranging the group's affairs, Ash couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Stark, are you here to see me?"
Stark said as if he was waking up from a dream: "Oh, by the way, an elder asked me to entrust you with a task. Don't worry, as long as you agree to this matter, I will pass the investigation report to you at the same time."
Stark's elder is definitely not Stan anymore. The only one alive now is Peggy Carter.
Curious about the cause and driven by a boring meeting, Ash agreed to Stark's request.
Stark handed the relevant documents to Ash and asked curiously: "Why don't you think about it?"
"Tony, I have been sitting here for almost a month, watching them quarrel and then fight every day, and finally quarrel and fight again. How long can you persist in this kind of life?"
Stark, who had never experienced such a long meeting, brought himself into a boring and long board meeting, and shivered uncomfortably.
Seeing the grievance and helplessness on Ash's face, Stark said in a sympathetic tone: "Thank you for your hard work."
Opening the sealed document bag, Ash browsed the contents of the document and slipped outside with Logan and Stark.
"Stark, why did Peggy Carter ask me to investigate this matter? Isn't it better for SHIELD in London to contact SHIELD in New York or San Francisco? If not, Carter should also inform the Bureau of Investigation?"
Ash asked this, leaving Stark dumbfounded. After all, he had never said anything about his relationship with Peggy Carter. Even if there was any information, Peggy Carter had concealed it a long time ago.
However, due to their close friendship, Stark did not doubt the source of Ash's intelligence. After all, the military was involved in the establishment of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Ash can now be said to be one of the big bosses of the military, knowing this information
Nothing.
After pressing the button on the watch and testing that there were no eavesdropping devices around, Stark led Ash to the corner, while Logan acted as a bodyguard and stood outside to look after them.
"The last time I went to Block Island with you, SHIELD was supposed to pass it on to Aunt Peggy, but the news from SHIELD was blocked. After that, Aunt Peggy became dissatisfied with SHIELD.
I doubt it, I only learned about S.H.I.E.L.D. through Aunt Peggy’s introduction. I even didn’t know that S.H.I.E.L.D. was co-founded by my father.”
When talking about his father, Stark couldn't help but lower his voice, but he quickly changed his voice and whispered: "Aunt Peggy told me that SHIELD can't be trusted now. Ash, you have to be careful too."
Ash patted Stark on the shoulder to show that he understood, and then the two walked out of the Pentagon Building along the road. They wanted to use Stark's jet to get to the mission location.
The destination was Kentucky. Ever since the plane started flying smoothly, the flight attendants had started a lively dance party. Unexpectedly, among the three of them, Logan, a tough guy, was the flight attendants' primary target.
The three stewardesses danced around Logan, causing the wine glass in Logan's hand to rattle.
Instead, Ash and Stark stood aside and watched this scene.
Under Ash's interesting eyes, Stark put down his glass and said, "Don't look at me. Now these girls are all Pepper's eyes. It's impossible for me to have any ideas."
After explaining, Stark asked Ash instead: "I am also the consultant of the new department, but I still don't know the name of our department?"
"Special Containment Protection Department (Special Containment Protection Department), you can call it the Control Department, the Protection Department or simply ***D."
