Chapter 524

Ling Xiao’s words were like magic sounds, and they poured directly into Barbara’s ears, and various images flashed in her mind.

In the future, they will successfully imprison Coulson and take down New SHIELD, which Coulson painstakingly managed. However, when they were complacent, the Avengers suddenly came and knocked them down, even in the end Nick Fury also Appearing…

Thinking of this, Barbara didn’t dare to think about it anymore, she didn’t even dare to think about what the end of own would be like, she sat down again in shock, sitting there motionless , Completely lost in thought.

awhile later, Barbara came back to his senses, and said bitterly: “Let’s talk, what do you need me to do?”

“I don’t need you to do anything!” Ling Xiao shook the head, very differently said: “As long as you continue to provide information to the Hand, as for you, go up as far as possible, gain more Coulson’s trust, and cultivate a part of the manpower as much as possible. own strength. Live well, that’s it. If necessary, Hand will also send some people to assist you in carrying out the mission. If there are problems that cannot be solved, you can also directly contact me.”

“What do you want to do?” Barbara is very sensitive. What Ling Xiao said is not asking her at all. Instead, she has some meanings to cultivate her. It seems that she hopes that she can grasp the own influence within SHIELD. Some taste of investment.

“I won’t hide it from you!” Ling Xiao waved his hand, sighed, and said, “What you may know about Coulson is not very clear. After all, he died once, even though Fury I tried every means to save him, but the Death also caused him irreparable damage. If I expected it well, Coulson’s life should be less than a few years, the longest will not exceed ten years. Or also shorter!”

After Ling Xiao said this paragraph, combined with those words he said before, Barbara already understood what Ling Xiao meant. She looked at him in disbelief and said, “You Do you want me to replace Coulson as the Director of SHIELD in the future?”

“We are just thinking about it in case.” Ling Xiao shook the head, sighed and said, “To be honest, even Coulson really has a chance in the future. Your chances are not great. Although you are a good person, as a Director, you lack the overall situation, decisiveness, and organizational skills, and even if you have cultivated these Ability, the position of the future Director of SHIELD may not be you, or even one of the members of SHIELD.”

“What do you mean by this?” Barbara couldn’t help but stunned. Subconsciously asked: “The Director of SHIELD is not a member of SHIELD, is it possible that it can be airborne from other places…Wait, you just said that you want to guard against the US Government. Could it be that the government is ready to intervene? “

Ling Xiao did not answer Barbara directly, but leaned back, leaned against the bulkhead, and said quietly: “You also know that Coulson and Senator Ward reached an agreement, SHIELD wants Open and legal activities within the United States, it is impossible not to get the support of the US Government.

Currently, Coulson is still there, and the US Government has no plans to intervene. If Coulson cannot continue to serve as Director of SHIELD in the future , Do you think the US Government will allow such a special institution to fall into the hands of others?”

Barbara was completely silent when Ling Xiao said in a word, even when Nick Fury was in charge of SHIELD. , SHIELD is still subject to the constraints of the International Security Council, and even at that time, SHIELD’s nomination of the next director candidate also requires the approval of the International Security Council. It has a strict selection system, which is not so easy.

Now, the situation is very different. If New SHIELD wants to enjoy law enforcement power within the United States, it must accept the leadership of the US Government. Even if it is only nominal, it will be Various constraints, not to mention that New SHIELD lacks everything, personnel, equipment, and funds. Once these things are related to the US Government, it is basically impossible to not be penetrated and controlled by others.

What Ling Xiao said can only happen, this is not a exaggerated thing, just this item that is stuck with your funds is enough for the US Government to have a great deal of human rights for SHIELD’s next Director A big say, even a decision-making power, unless she can devote herself to the government, otherwise, if she wants to be Director, she can only rely on internal support, and this is what Ling Xiao is doing now.

Ling Xiao vaguely remembered that although Daisy Johnson took over as Director of SHIELD in the end, before her, after Coulson, there was also a Director of SHIELD in the middle, but that Director seemed to be out What happened? I died in the service. The US Government was unable to propose a candidate for SHIELD approval. In the end, Daisy Johnson could only take over as Director.

Don’t underestimate the energy of the official institution, SHIELD at the later stage, although it does not have the tyranny of Nick Fury in power, it should not be underestimated, especially during the Hero Civil War, because of their The cooperation led to the defeat of the other party headed by Captain America.

Ling Xiao hopes that when the Hero Civil War really comes, SHIELD will be able to stand on Captain America’s side, even if it can’t stand up, it must be neutral. In this case, The pressure they face will be reduced.

Of course, these all are funerals. What Ling Xiao is doing now is just making a move ahead of time. Whether it is successful or not, the key is to look at the strength of the two sides during a civil war. The real Superhero Civil War is not just a few Avengers participating, X-Men, Fantastic Four, and also many superhero will be involved in this matter, and at that time, powerful individuals on Earth will be one after another. body.

“I hope you can do your best to cultivate your own influence and expand oneself’s influence within SHIELD. Even if you cannot become the Director of New SHIELD in the future, don’t let people get rid of you easily!” Ling Xiao faintly laughed and said: “That’s what I mean, you can choose it or not!” After a long silence, Barbara nodded slowly and said solemnly: “I will try my best to guarantee SHIELD’s independence.”

“Hehe!” Ling Xiao couldn’t help but laugh, shook the head, and said, “I’m not interested in SHIELD’s internal affairs, as long as he doesn’t stand on my side. On the opposite side, I won’t do anything to him easily, but once I do it……”

Ling Xiao hasn’t finished speaking, Barbara already understands what he means, just like Ling Xiao said before. That said, if he is willing, within 1 minute, he can kill all the people in the base, as a superhero ranked third and fourth among Avengers (Ling Xiao and Tony’s rankings are still inconclusive) , It is certain that he is fully capable of doing this.

Since they reached an agreement, Ling Xiao and Barbara immediately began to discuss the details, awhile later, Barbara frowns said: “Since I want to gain Coulson’s trust, then after I go back, do I find a chance to Tell Coulson about Real SHIELD?”

“No!” Ling Xiao waved his hand and said, “It’s better not to let Coulson know about Real SHIELD for now. After all, the saying goes well, it’s not as good as the icing on the cake. Provide timely help, if you want to get the greatest trust of Coulson, it is best to take action to help him when he is in the most difficult situation!”

“en!” Barbara slightly nodded, what Ling Xiao said She knew it in her heart, and she planned to do that. The reason why she said that was mainly to see what Ling Xiao viewed from the angle of things. If Ling Xiao really asked her to go back, she would tell Coulson about Real SHIELD. , Then she should be disappointed, and she must reconsider the cooperation between the two parties.

Yes, it’s cooperation. Barbara looks at the nature of this matter. Although she is not as good as Ling Xiao now, one day, when she becomes the Director of New SHIELD, then she Absolutely qualified to sit on an equal footing with the other party.

What Ling Xiao appreciates is Barbara’s ambition. It is precisely because of this ambition that Barbara will work harder to cultivate own influence and strengthen oneself’s influence in SHIELD. If Ling Xiao turns it into an own Dao Soldier, it is just equivalent to adding a puppet eyeliner in SHIELD. The effect it can play will be much smaller than it is now. With this ambition, Barbara can become Director of New SHIELD, and under his control.
