Marvel Administrative Officer

Chapter 220 AIM Doomsday

While everyone in the hive base was waiting for the successful manufacturing of the special steel suit, a major event was happening in the White House...

President Benjamin of the United States has just returned to the White House after his inspection of Nevada. Before he can catch his breath... White House Secretary Tennis came to report, including Vice President Rodriguez and Secretary of State Les Hill Ten senior government officials want to "talk" to the president.

These ten senior officials cover all aspects of the government.

In terms of status... Although Vice President Rodriguez has no real power, he is the first successor to the presidency, the President of the US Senate.

On closeness...Secretary of State Les Hill is an extension of Benjamin's executive will, the two are almost one.

In terms of importance... Seven of these ten senior officials are members of Benjamin's cabinet. They are important followers of Benjamin. Without them, Benjamin would be a bare-bones commander.

Therefore, although Benjamin was full of doubts, he still asked Tenis to welcome these people into the Oval Office.

The Oval Office was originally not that big, and it was even more crowded when these ten people filed in.

But that's not the point...

Seeing the serious expressions of all ten people, Benjamin felt bad, and asked in a deep voice:

"What happened?"

The highest-ranking Vice President Rodriguez said directly:

"I am very dissatisfied with the recent series of actions of the Sky Hammer Bureau. I hope that the President can order the Sky Hammer Bureau to act according to the national order. I will never allow the Sky Hammer Bureau to become the second S.H.I.E.L.D."

Rodriguez was unclear, and Benjamin asked a little helplessly:

"What did the Sky Hammer Bureau do again?"

"Mr. President, you ordered the Plaza Massacre to be handed over to the FBI the day before yesterday, but the Hammer Bureau did not seem to respect your decision. They launched an operation without permission in Virginia yesterday and arrested about 20 suspects related to the Plaza Massacre. ..."

Benjamin couldn't help frowning, and secretly sighed in his heart that this Jack really didn't give him peace of mind.

However, Jack is an important political partner of Benjamin, and it will also greatly promote the upcoming general election... Therefore, Benjamin still intends to protect Jack if he can.

"Since the suspect has been captured, this is just a matter of internal negotiation. I will call Hill and ask her to work with the FBI to try to disrupt the enemy's terrorist attack as quickly as possible."

Secretary of State Les Hill said:

"Mr. President, we all know that Hill is just a puppet. You are too indulgent to Jack Murdoch."

Before the Secretary of State's voice fell, other senior officials also began to express their views.

Attorney General Sessions: "America is a country ruled by law, and no one should cross the boundaries of the law. Now that the entire case has been handed over to the FBI, the private actions of the Skyhammer Bureau are illegal..."

National Security Adviser Mike Master: "I have inquired about the series of actions of the Sky Hammer Agency since its establishment. They are used to willful actions, and they have also mastered huge power. I think they have become a new national threat. "

White House Public Relations Director Ramsey: "Mr. President, public opinion is very dissatisfied with the Skyhammer Bureau. My personal relationship tells me that this dissatisfaction will soon be involved in the White House! This is very detrimental to your re-election."

……

Many high-ranking officials spoke one by one. Maybe they aimed at different points, but their goals were surprisingly the same, that is, the Sky Hammer Bureau and Jack Murdoch.

This seemed unbelievable to Benjamin... When did Jack offend so many people?

"What do you want me to do?"

Vice President Rodriguez said: "Order Jack Murdoch to hand over all case evidence and suspects to the FBI within three hours, and stop all operations of the Sky Hammer Bureau, pending a comprehensive review by the federal supervisory agency."

Is this going to kill Sky Hammer Bureau with one stick?

Benjamin wanted to refute, but after glancing across, he gave up.

It was a political force that he was powerless to fight.

After weighing the pros and cons for a while, Benjamin called Jack.

……

Jack, who was in the hive base, hung up Benjamin's phone and fell into deep thought.

Just like Benjamin's question, Jack also didn't understand when he offended so many people.

The Plaza Massacre was, of course, an extremely egregious terrorist attack, for which Snader lost his political prospects, New York City declared a state of emergency, and even Jack was dismissed.

Even a puppet like Mandarin has become an annual "popular person" under the continuous reports of the news media across the United States. ACC, which was the first to report Mandarin video, has leapt from a local TV station to an able and The existence of the three major TV stations with the same reputation...

But even so, it is not enough to make political groups including the Vice President and Secretary of State attack Jack.

To put it realistically and somewhat unpleasantly, if the top leaders of the United States really cared so much about the life and death of ordinary people, then the United States would have become the most powerful country in the "universe".

Jack judged that he must have overlooked something important...

Behind politics is never simple.

But Jack really couldn't see the meaning revealed behind it, so he decisively looked for foreign aid.

Raymond soon came to the hive base through the portal.

After the wise old man heard what Jack said, his first reaction was that it was impossible!
He elaborates:

"As far as I know, Vice President Rodriguez doesn't have any political ambitions. He comes from a western political family. The whole family should be in the incubation period. Their goal should be the 2016 general election.

Although Secretary of State Rice is ambitious, he and Rodriguez are not in the same faction. In principle, he will not get involved with the Western faction.

National Security Advisor Mike is even a strong supporter of Benjamin, how could he get these people together to attack Benjamin...

These three alone already represent three different groups collectively putting pressure on the White House, which is unbelievable! "

Jack listened to Raymond's analysis in a natural way, and the brain of this wise old man was loaded with the political distribution map of the entire American Federation, which required decades of accumulation to achieve.

After Raymond finished speaking, Jack said embarrassingly:
"The facts are already in front of me. Do you think this is a coincidence or someone is manipulating it behind the scenes?"

Raymond sneered:
"Politics has never been a coincidence ... but I also don't believe that anyone can manipulate this group of people behind their backs."

Jack frowned and said:
"Then, your judgment is..."

"This is by no means something that conventional forces can do. If it really happened, I suspect that there is superpower behind it."

Superpower?

Jack suddenly realized that this is the Marvel world, and mind manipulation is by no means a new thing.

It’s just that after 2004, the existence of Professor X is no longer a secret to the American high-level. Most of the American high-levels are equipped with the mind shielding device produced by the Stark Group, which restrains all superhumans with mind control abilities.

It stands to reason that senior officials would never be so easily recruited.

So it's not psychic powers?

Just as Jack was racking his brains, Captain America broke into the office together with Tony and Misty.

After Misty stood still, she reported directly:
"Sir, Deputy Director Hill just informed me that the FBI will come here to receive Mrs. Poison and the case files in an hour... What happened?"

Jack smiled wryly. It seemed that this time Benjamin was going to get serious. He was afraid that he would be tough, so he simply gave Hill another order.

Seeing Misty, Captain America, and Tony look puzzled, Jack explained the ins and outs.

The US team immediately expressed its attitude after listening: "We must not hand over the suspect and the information."

Before the captain's voice fell, Tony on the side immediately mocked:
"Captain, are you planning to disobey the White House's order? Ha... The spiritual symbol of the United States publicly defied the White House's order. This is big news. Do you need me to contact the media for you? I may be able to get a little informant fee."

Jack looked at Tony helplessly. The tens of billionaire has been acrimonious for a long time. Fortunately, Captain America ignored him and focused his attention on Jack instead.

So, being a leader is not an easy task...

"Tony, can the production of the special steel suit be accelerated?" Jack asked.

"Are you going to make a time difference? But with all due respect, I don't think you are in three hours... no, it is less than three hours now. Even if I finish the suit in one hour, are you sure you can finish it in the remaining time?" Pry open Mrs. Poison's mouth, she is not a good person in my opinion."

Jack rubbed his head and ordered: "No matter what, you first make the battle suit as quickly as possible..."

Tony shrugged and said indifferently: "Actually, I have a better idea...Tarleton."

Tarleton has a psychic power comparable to that of the professor, allowing him to enter the mind of Mrs. Poison, and no secret can be hidden...

For Jack, this is naturally a good idea, but he immediately looked at the US team, and Jack knew that the other party would definitely object.

Sure enough, the US team spoke,

"Sir, I don't think we should be doing this."

Before Jack could speak, Tony had already retorted: "Oh, this damn sense of justice..."

The US team doesn't care about Tony's ridicule towards him, even because of the past between the Winter Soldier and Howard, he has a high tolerance for Tony, but when it comes to the bottom line, the US team will never give in.

"Tony, if one day Tarleton snooped into your mind, how would you react! Everyone has their own privacy, Mrs. Poison is a criminal, but she is also a person... We should respect Human rights for all."

Of course, Tony will not be indifferent to the US team's counterattack, but Jack has already stopped his friend first.

When S.H.I.E.L.D. was disbanded, Jack used Tarleton's ability to investigate S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. Afterwards, the US team, who learned the truth, had a deep talk with Jack.
The conversation ended with Jack promising not to do anything with Tarleton's powers again.

This time, Jack didn't intend to break his promise.

Maybe Jack will be ridiculed by Tony as pedantic, but Jack knows in his heart that this is one of the basic laws of Marvel... If you don't want to cause more trouble, don't try to do things that violate the bottom line.

So Jack vetoed Tony's proposal and urged the other party to return to Stark Tower to speed up the production of the special isolation suit.

Not long after Tony left, Kano hurried into the office. After seeing that Jack was not the only one in the office, he hesitated to speak.

"Captain and Misty are not outsiders, you can directly tell what you find."

Kano hesitated for a while, and finally said: "The Listening Truth team monitored Donos 24 hours a day, and we found that he would use a mysterious satellite phone to contact unknown people every three hours..."

"Can you eavesdrop on their conversation?" Jack asked hastily.

"The Listening Truth team is working hard."

"Misty, you fully cooperate with the listening group, I want to find out what Donos and the people behind him are talking about in the shortest possible time!"

Misty nodded heavily, and then left the office with Kano.

At this time, the US team stared at Jack,
"Sir, we are not authorized to spy on Donos..."

Facing the US team's questioning, Jack was very helpless.

This American spiritual symbol not only has an excessive sense of morality and justice, but is also a well-known "double standard" patient!
One second he could "force" Jack to refuse the White House's order, and the next second he said that it was illegal for Jack to conduct surveillance without authorization...

Why, anyway, you are right!

Although there was a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart, Jack didn't show it. The superiors must have their own measures, otherwise there will be a mess below.

Just as Jack patiently explained the necessity of his private actions to the US team, Misty returned to the office.

"Sir, just received the news that Mandarin has been captured by the FBI, and Donos announced to the media that he has disrupted the terrorist attack of the Ten Commandments Gang."

Jack frowned and asked, "What about Killian?"

Misty shook her head and said, "Donos didn't mention the existence of Killian during the interview."

"Contact the FBI immediately to find out what happened to the entire operation."

Misty didn't move, she smiled wryly: "I have already contacted the FBI, and they refused to disclose any information to us."

Heh, after someone backed her up, she became more courageous?
Jack has never put the FBI in his eyes, this is the inheritance inherited from the era of S.H.I.E.L.D.!
Isn't the FBI the one who takes the blame for S.H.I.E.L.D.?
Why, this is after SHIELD was disbanded, do you feel that Sky Hammer is not enough?

Jack immediately called Benjamin.

It was obviously very bad for Jack and Donos to quarrel, so Jack went directly to the big boss.

But when the phone was connected, before Jack had time to say his purpose, Benjamin seemed to say directly without knowing it:
"Donos' action report does not contain Killian...they put all the responsibility on Mandarin."

To become the President of the United States, Benjamin is naturally a smart person. After receiving the report from the FBI immediately, he realized that there was something wrong with Donos.

Not only that, but Rodriguez and others' forced action made him even more suspicious. Among the ten senior officials, four of them belonged to him, and his dog suddenly turned his head and bit him?
If Benjamin didn't have any doubts, then he didn't need to seek re-election!
However, Benjamin was very afraid of these people joining forces, and it was inconvenient for him to take rash actions.

And Jack becomes the key to breaking the situation...

"Jack, there is a conspiracy behind this, I hope you can find out the connection."

After Benjamin finished speaking, he hung up the phone. During the whole call, Jack didn't say a word.

Jack smiled bitterly. Mr. President's attitude is already obvious, and he has to take "responsibility".
