Chapter 159 Rough S.H.I.E.L.D. and Howard
"I see, so you want to...?" After hearing Josie briefly introduce the CIA's responsibilities, Peggy Carter and the two agents of the Strategic Science Corps couldn't hold back.
The "Ivchenko" who was following them was even more nervous, and his eyes began to wander wildly, trying to find a suitable escape route.
But soon he was disappointed. The CIA field workers present were all selected by Josie from the army. They had fought in Europe and Asia for at least two years and participated in many battles. chance to escape.
"Don't worry, our target is not you, but the Russian friend you brought back. What I'm talking about is you, Dr. Jonah Finhoff, I advise you not to act rashly, and don't show off your hypnosis here. Little trick, otherwise, my subordinates will reserve the right to carry out any act of force against you, believe me, you won't like that." Josie said, turning her eyes to Finho who was shrunk behind the three of Carter husband.
"Josie, is there any misunderstanding here? His name is not Jonah Finhoff, but Ivchenko. He is a prisoner we rescued from the Leviathan organization." Hearing Josie finish speaking , Carter couldn't help frowning.
"I know you may not believe it, but I'm sorry Peggy, I have enough evidence. He is Jonah Finhoff, what Ivchenko, a prisoner of the Leviathan organization, is just his design The purpose of the trap is to let you take him into the Strategic Science Corps, and everything that happened before, including the theft of Howard's treasure house, was all initiated by him!" Josie shrugged.
"Director Kahn, you have said too much!" Director Fletcher on the side reminded pretendingly.
But this was agreed before Carter and the others arrived. Josie sang the white face, and Fletcher sang the bad face.
"Sorry, Director!" Josie immediately apologized after seeing this, and then looked at Carter, "Peggy, look..."
"...In other words, Howard was indeed wronged?" Carter looked back at Finhoff, who was a little nervous. At this time, she also had a bit of recollection. The appearance of the other party was indeed too coincidental. Yes, and then asked Josie.
"Yes, in fact, before we came, Congress had announced the results of the investigation of Howard Stark, and he was acquitted." Josie nodded.
"Well, you can take him away!" Carter thought for a moment, then smiled, and stepped aside.
"Agent Carter!" The other two strategic science corps were obviously not reconciled. After hearing what Josie said, they realized how much credit they had brought back.
But now, this credit is about to be robbed by others.
"If you think you can beat so many people, you can go and **** them!" Peggy Carter rolled her eyes and said, what's going on now, aren't these two people playing tricks? There are at least 30 people on the opposite side, do you think you are Captain America?
But Carter didn't give up the credit because the situation was stronger than others.
Rather, she felt that since the matter was perfectly resolved, the credit is not important, what is important is the result and the role she played in the process—at the end of the original plot, she never cared about rewards or anything.
Especially now that the one who came to "grab credit" was Josie, a person to whom she owed countless favors, so she was even less in the mood to fight for this credit.
After hearing Carter's words, the two agents of the Strategic Science Corps stopped talking.
Yeah, there are more than 30 people on the opposite side, and there are only three of them, so why not take the lead? Even if the chief of the bureau came, it would be useless—there were no more than twenty field agents in the entire New York branch of the Strategic Science Corps.
Looking at the military soldiers guarding the airport, they turned a blind eye to everything here. Obviously, the other party had already arranged everything.
However, although the three on Carter's side stopped trying to **** people, Finnhofer obviously did not give up the chance to escape.
Just as the two agents stepped forward to handcuff Finnhoff, he tried to launch a verbal attack on the two agents, oh no, it was to activate the mind control ability.
Although it is also mind control, Finnhoff's ability is worse than Ophelia's.
Under normal circumstances, Ophelia needs to cooperate with words if she wants to control a person in depth, let alone Finnhoff.
It’s just that Finhoff didn’t say a few words, and was punched in the stomach by one of the agents, and then another agent put a mouth cage on him to prevent him from speaking.
"What is this doing?" Seeing this, Carter was a little puzzled, and asked Josie.
"The information you know about him is basically false, but one thing is true, that is, he is a psychiatrist, and he is also a very powerful psychiatrist, with a strong hypnotic ability to manipulate people's hearts, and This ability is mainly transmitted by his language. Imagine that such a person is brought into the Strategic Science Corps by you unsuspecting, and then controls a high-level person through language hypnosis, such as your Director Flynn, Then take the super weapons developed by Howard and imagine what will happen." Josie said.
Hearing what Josie said, Peggy Carter felt horrified. If the other party really had this ability and things really developed as Josie said, the consequences would be unimaginable.
And the responsibility for all the possible consequences of this will eventually be pushed to her head.
Because she brought this dangerous person back to the United States.
At that time, she may have to go to a military court.
"I owe you another favor, Josie!" After thinking about it, Carter couldn't help but look at Josie and sighed.
"Don't say that, we are friends, and we took the people away, and we took away the credit. Your situation will be more troublesome next time. Just don't blame me when the time comes, but speaking of it, are you interested in coming?" CIA? I know you like to go out to work, I can arrange for you to be the director of the operations department, I believe your ability is more than enough!" Josie initiated the invitation again.
The biggest difference between the CIA and other intelligence agencies in the United States is that it is only responsible to the president, and no other government department has jurisdiction, so any appointment of personnel only needs to be decided by the president or the director.
It’s just that the remuneration will be almost the same—don’t look at the future CIA’s annual budget of billions and tens of thousands of personnel, but that’s something in the future.
The CIA, which has just been created, has only a few thousand personnel, and its annual budget is only five million. Although it is not bad in this era, compared to the old departments such as the FBI, this number is pitifully small.
It is completely a grass-roots team.
Fortunately, as the management office, Josie is rich enough, especially the gray income that accounts for a huge amount, which can just be laundered through the CIA. need to be published.
So money laundering through the CIA, even the legendary IRS of the United States, can’t check Josie’s account—well, speaking of this money laundering method, Josie still learned from the future director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Although the ability of black stewed eggs in other aspects is highly debated, the ability to dig holes and launder money for black funds is basically recognized.
And this method of money laundering can only be used by people like Josie or Heilan Dan who control the entire world-class intelligence agency with one hand, and no one else can learn it.
Of course, there will definitely be some losses during the money laundering process.
But Josie doesn’t care. One is that the loss is not too much, and the other is to spend money for the CIA, but the people who use the CIA to support him are also pure profits, right?
Farewell to Carter, Josie and his party pressed Jonah Finhoff, boarded the plane directly at the airport, and set off for Washington.
Just like the original time and space, although the CIA has been the most special intelligence department since its establishment, its actions in the United States are also greatly restricted.
If the interrogation was conducted directly in New York and other intelligence agencies found out, something might happen.
This is why Josie chose to come directly to the Newberg military airport to intercept people. This is a military airport, the site of the Ministry of Defense, and the CIA can enforce the law here.
But it’s different to send people directly to Washington, where the biggest one is the president!
……………
In just a few hours, Josie and the others escorted Jonah Finhoff to Washington.
To be precise, it is the small town of Langley on the border of Washington, DC and Virginia.
In the original time and space, when the CIA was first established, its headquarters was a government building near the Lincoln Monument.
But Josie thought the place was too small, so when applying, he directly set up the headquarters in Langley, the destined headquarters of the CIA.
However, the construction of the new CIA headquarters building takes time, so the current CIA office is temporarily an ordinary office building in a small town.
"Pry open his mouth as soon as possible, our Mr. President is waiting for good news!" Sending Jonah Finhoff into the interrogation room, Josie ordered to Ophelia who had already been waiting here.
"Okay, boss, but I have so many roles now, shouldn't I be given a salary increase!" Facing Josie's order, Ophelia first accepted the order happily, and then changed the subject and said coquettishly.
Not to mention, the current Ophelia is just like the Hydra lady in the comics, and she is about to become a spy with a thousand faces.
It’s ouroboros again, it’s Hydra again, it’s still the Austrian Ministry of the Interior, and now it’s also an operations director under the CIA operations department.
Different identities, different positions, intertwined together, identities can be described as extremely complicated.
But Josie will not spoil her because of this.
"...Come on, I have never lost one cent of your extra allowance for each job, and there are various funds. In fact, your income is many times more than C Fletcher's salary, and you have What wage increase do you want? Hurry up and go to work, and I'll add sausage to your dinner!" Josie rolled her eyes and said.
"Hey, slaves don't have human rights..." Before Josie's "squeezing", Ophelia could only sigh, made a little strange, and then went in for interrogation.
The main content of the interrogation is not evidence.
Regarding the identity of Jonah Finhoff and a series of plans and actions, Josie has all the witnesses and evidences - the witness is Dottie Underwood who has been trained by Ophelia a few days ago.
Now she has been transformed into a tainted witness to accuse Jonah Finhoff, and at the same time received an "amnesty" and has now become a full member of the CIA (Ouroboros).
Its nature is like that of her future descendant, Natasha Romanov.
What Josie really wants to ask is the whereabouts of the remaining items stolen by Howard Stark.
It's not how much Josie values those things, but Josie owes some favors to the military in order to promote the establishment of the CIA.
And Josie's promise to the military is that after Jonah Finhoff is captured, those stolen and hidden things will be handed over to the military.
The military has been coveting Howard's research for a long time.
Of course, before handing over those things, Josie withheld them for a period of time and asked Yuri to refer to them to see if they were worthwhile. That was another matter.
The whole interrogation process can be said to be very smooth.
Ophelia's ability is stronger than Finnhoff's, plus Finnhoff saw that the interrogator was a woman, so he was a little lax, and was soon hypnotized by Ophelia, and everything came out of his mouth .
After getting all the information, Josie immediately issued an order to let the agents, mafia, Ouroboros, and council personnel from all over the country start a relatively different kind of joint law enforcement, and soon retrieved the Leviathan Those stolen Howard Stark inventions hidden in every corner of New York.
By the time the Strategic Science Corps, Howard Stark himself, and other intelligence agencies knew what was going on here, the day lily was so cold that it couldn't be colder.
Josie even wrote the report here, handed it over to the puppet director Fletcher, and submitted it to Truman.
And the recent Truman is getting a little anxious because the bear has created a nuclear weapon.
As a result, Josie gave the pillow.
Mao Xiong’s secret intelligence agency steals secrets in the United States, frames American patriotic entrepreneurs and inventors, and intends to sabotage the United States.
Isn't this an important reason to attack the opponent?
So, just a few days later, Truman took a series of evidence about Leviathan's behavior and read the State of the Union address later called the "Truman Doctrine" at the joint meeting of the two houses of Congress!
officially opened the prelude to the Cold War.
At this meeting, Josie, who was a major contributor to this intelligence case, and Howard, who was a victim of this case, also participated.
It's just that compared to the smiling Josie, Howard Stark's face, which has been rectified, doesn't look very pretty.
Although Howard has regained his innocence, because the prelude to the cold chapter was opened earlier than the original time and space, and the CIA was reestablished earlier, the proposal he had been planning with General Phillips on reorganizing the Strategic Science Corps was rejected by Congress.
That is to say, after the original Leviathan case, the S.H.I.E.L.D., which should have started secret preparations, has been temporarily stranded...
What annoyed him even more was that more than a dozen pieces of technology that he had stolen fell into the hands of the CIA and could not be retrieved. According to news, those things would be transferred to the military in a short time. Once they fell into the hands of the military, It is almost impossible for him to get those things back.
But what annoyed him the most was actually the disappearance of Captain America's blood sample... He had expected that thing to win a Nobel Prize.
Thinking of all these piles, one by one, Howard Stark suddenly looked in the direction where Josie was.
He suddenly remembered that his troubles all started with the theft of the night light medicine two years ago, before the Normandy landing battle.
And behind almost every unsatisfactory thing, there is almost a figure of Josie Kahn.
Howard Stark did not doubt Josie Kahn's special identity because of this. Although Josie's experience is legendary, in general, there is actually no direct conflict of interest or conflict with him.
He was just thinking, this Josie Kahn might not be his nemesis, right?
Tsk, it seems that I have to stay away from this young man in the future, which is a pity. I heard that his fiancée is quite beautiful.
As if feeling something, Josie suddenly turned his head at this time, saw Howard's gaze staring at him, and immediately showed a kind smile.
Of course, thanks to Josie's ability to read minds, otherwise, if he were to know what's going on in Howard Stark's mind right now, he might have to kill Howard!
