Chapter 497 Robert, Coulson, Raymond(1/2)
Alvin treated Harvey, who was laughing and joking, to a steak. This move made Colson very unhappy. He raised his hands and protested in a joking manner: "Hey~~ Alvin, I brought you such a precious thing, please
Is it hard for me to eat a steak?”
Alvin spread his hands, ignored Colson's protest, and turned around to stare at his cake.
Harvey has given me a solid gift. In the past few days, the freezer in the basement of the restaurant has been filled with high-grade beef and caviar sent by Harvey.
What do you have? "Trouble"? You don't even dare to tell the truth and you want me to tell you the truth, and you want me to treat you to a steak?
Harvey proudly shrugged at Coulson and said with a smile: "Sorry, sir! You see, I have finally adapted to life here. I feel like this job is pretty good now!"
Colson took a sip of the beer he bought, put a smile on his face, and said: "Harvey, you bastard, don't think I don't know what you did!
Your promotion plan is ruined!"
Robert, who had been sitting at the bar with a palm-sized book in his hand and reading, glanced at Colson who was sitting next to him, pursed his lips and said: "Managing subordinates is a technical job. With promotion,
It's the stupidest way to control your subordinates.
Rookies, how did SHIELD survive to this day? Just because of you rookies?"
Colson slapped his mouth and decided to tolerate him for a while.
Coulson knew Robert, who was once the CIA's best field agent.
The most ruthless agent recognized by the CIA is "Church" Frank Moses, the smartest is the IMF's Ethan Hunt, and the most cunning is Jason Bourne.
And the Robert McCall in front of him was once the most capable and effective player.
He has completed a record number of tasks that no one can beat to this day.
Until Robert McCall retired and Jason Bourne rebelled, the CIA could only rely on a large number of "pill agents" produced by their stupid "Stepping Stone" program to perform ordinary field tasks.
The CIA messed up a lot of things because of this. After all, the "pill agents" whose emotions are controlled cannot do many tasks that require communication with people. It is really the stupidest choice for an agent organization to pursue individual superhuman powers!
Colson sometimes couldn't understand why so many powerful people gathered in Alvin's small restaurant?
SHIELD shook it up and down, but it still couldn't bring out so many powerful characters. This made him feel a lot of psychological pressure every time he came here, because he knew the origin of everyone here!
Sometimes a person knows too much, which is not necessarily a good thing!
Seeing that Colson was silent, Robert smiled with satisfaction, picked up the book in his hand again, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are a humble person. This is a good habit. If you can keep it up, you will survive."
A long time!”
Coulson was stunned for a moment. He couldn't tell whether what Robert said was a warning or a compliment. The agent's professional habits made him like to think of things in the worst direction.
So Colson raised the wine glass in his hand, raised it to Robert, and said: "Humility is a good habit in many places, but if you blindly remain humble in front of your peers, you can easily be regarded as a victim.
Hmm~~This is not an honorable way to die!
I'm Phil Coulson, Agent of SHIELD!"
Robert was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said with a smile: "Do you think I'm warning you?"
As he spoke, Robert raised a teacup and clinked it with Colson, and said with a smile: "This is a kind gesture from a retired old man!
You can pretend I didn't say anything!
Alvin there is no need for warning at all, you can do whatever you want and then someone will always let you know whether it is right or wrong!
It is allowed to make mistakes here, as long as you are not afraid of pain!
I like it here~~”
Colson smiled noncommittally and said: "This is indeed a good place. If I were asked to choose the most dangerous or safest place in the world, I would definitely choose this place.
It's a pity that this place is not suitable for agents. I think you should understand the reason.
Can you tell me how you fit in here?
I'm curious, how did you get rid of your professional habits?"
Robert took a sip of the ginseng tea introduced to him by Lao Cheng, smiled comfortably, and said: "Stay true to your nature!
I was a field agent, the best field agent ever!
In order to maintain my true nature, I turned down many opportunities and allowed myself to become the best field agent!
You know, there are some field agents who only have one job, and that's to kill! I'm that kind of field agent!"
Robert said with some regret: "When you put on a mask for yourself and get used to it, you won't be able to take it off, because it's you!
A lot of great agents struggle at that stage because they want to be themselves. Some of them succeed, some of them fail!
I am different, I am who I am, I have always been myself, an old killer!
The killer does not need to deceive, the killer only needs~~"
Colson nodded bitterly, he seemed to be the one who failed.
Sometimes I feel that what I am doing is wrong, but I am still used to obeying orders and doing things according to SHIELD's style. This makes me feel like a bad person sometimes.
Colson glanced at Robert, who had a smile on his face. He suddenly became a little alert. This old guy seemed to have easily shaken his inner beliefs. This was scary!
Robert could easily see some of Colson's thoughts. He looked at Colson with admiration and said with a smile: "You are a very good agent within the system. Don't mind what I just said! Be yourself.
made!
You just don’t fit here! Or SHIELD doesn’t fit here!”
As he spoke, Robert pursed his lips and said somewhat seriously: "You control too much and your control is too broad. You have gathered so many resources but are doing things that duplicate the functions of some special institutions in various countries.
In some third world countries, you are not that concerned.
Your inertial behavior has made you form a very bad habit. It seems that all resources should be used by you!
You all want to get involved in everything, but have you really solved anything? Maybe~~
Wouldn’t it be possible if it were someone else? I definitely can~~
The only operation you did that impressed me was the big operation against vampires, but you ended up screwing it up in the end!
If a fool hadn't gone to heaven for the president, you would be doomed!
With all due respect, when it comes to saving the world, that little dwarf Ethan Hunt has done more than you!
This is not what a responsible world organization should be like!”
Coulson looked at Robert with some dissatisfaction and said: "SHIELD is responsible for solving problems that currently countries are unable to solve.
We are responsible for coordinating the resources of all countries in the world and coordinating the efforts of all parties to protect the security of the earth.
You have no idea what it’s like on the other side of the earth!”
Robert looked at Colson with great interest and said: "Oh~~What does it look like?
Will there be aliens coaching schools on the other side of the earth?
Or an alien queen working as a nanny in a restaurant?
Or will there be demons appearing on the other side?
Look, Agent Coulson, I don't want to argue with you. Many people know the origins of SHIELD.
It is nothing more than a small espionage organization established under private sponsorship and has only cooperative relationships with various countries.
Its functions should be more like the current Interpol. It should be just an agency for countries around the world to coordinate and cooperate to combat terrorist organizations and deal with various crises!
SHIELD shouldn't have law enforcement powers!
But I don’t know when it started~~”
Colson took a sip of wine, looked at Robert and said: "You should know that fighting terrorists and dealing with abnormal situations requires quick reactions and swift strikes.
The function of S.H.I.E.L.D. lies in this. If we are like Interpol and argue with the functional departments of various countries, we will not be able to do anything!
Do you know a "special forces" jointly established by various countries a few years ago? Attack quickly and strike quickly!
We at SHIELD have the same nature as them, but the problems we deal with are more dangerous!"
When Coulson was speaking, a somewhat frivolous voice appeared behind him, "But the people in the special forces will not wear the FBI or Scotland Yard work badge on their chests and show off their work, and finally leave the mess to others.
Anyone from the "Special Forces" who curses at the police will be punished! What about you~~"
Colson turned around in surprise and saw a fat, bald man with a contemptuous smile on his face, looking at him with his neck crooked!
Coulson knew that he, Raymond Ledington, if there was a ranking of troubled people in the world, this guy would definitely be in the top ten!
Raymond greeted Robert with a smile, then looked at Colson with a smile and said, "Don't look at me like that, I'm just helping you understand the nature of your organization!"
As he spoke, Raymond took a bottle of whiskey for himself and poured a glass. Then he raised his glass and gestured to Shang Qi, the bartender who was listening to the story. He smiled and said, "Don't look at me like that. I just dealt with it."
People coming back from Harvard University.
I will be busy for a few days in the future, all for Alvin, he should treat me to a glass of wine."
Shangqi was very interested in the topic of Harvard and asked quickly: "What did you do to them? Do you need my help? I'm best at beating people up!"
Raymond looked at Shangqi with the eyes of a hard worker and said: "Don't always think about fighting and killing. You should go online or something when you have nothing to do. That way you will see people from the Harvard fraternity become superstars."
treatment.
Drug abuse, promiscuity, nude photos, coming out, all their private lives will be exposed to public scrutiny.
