Chapter 405: Except for Snakes, Everything Is Poisonous (Part 1)

If you want to say the most serious disease the United States has suffered since World War II, it is allergy. They are allergic to many things, but if you want to say which one is the most serious, it is KGB allergy.

As the most powerful spy agency in the world, the KGB once had an incomparably brilliant record. This record was so brilliant that whether it was the United States or Europe, they still talk about the Soviet Union with fear today.

For example, at that time, if you wanted to attack your political enemies and fabricate charges for them, then your best choice was to report their tax problems, because this kind of problem, as long as you check, there will definitely be one.

And if you want to truly kill him, let him die not only in the biological sense but also in the sociological sense, then you must say he is a KGB.

After Schiller let Loki hold Thor's hammer and chase Madame Hydra around the world, and finally fell into the hands of the KGB, the situation became interesting.

If you want to say who in this world is most willing to make the stupid things the United States has done known to the whole world, it must be the KGB. If you want to say who has the ability to make the stupid things the United States has done known to the whole world, it must still be the KGB.

Some people might feel that this stupid thing refers to the United States letting Hydra develop for many years, but in fact, this stupid thing refers to Hydra infiltrating the United States, and the KGB infiltrating Hydra.

The stupidest point of this matter is not that the United States did not discover that the KGB had infiltrated Hydra, but that the Hydras, who are Americans, helped a KGB turn the United States' financial system around.

It doesn't matter that Hydra did all kinds of evil in the United States, engaged in infiltration, established various secret bases, and conducted various illegal experiments. What matters is that they helped the KGB.

More importantly, they were finally wiped out by the KGB, and all this was made public.

If every country in the world became a human who could express their emotions, then now, the laughter in the Far East is deafening.

In the underground base of S. H. I. E. L. D., in the dim corridor, the light bulbs flickered. Nick and the agents behind him passed through the long corridor and came to an office door. Opening the door, Natasha's figure appeared inside.

Nick gave the people behind him a look, signaling them to go out first. After he closed the door, he sighed and said, "I think you should already know how tense the situation is now, right?"

Natasha didn't have any nervous expression. She just nodded and said, "After I made that choice, I knew that I would no longer be trusted by any country or organization in this world."

"It hasn't reached such a serious extent yet." Nick stood with his hands on his hips and sighed. Natasha held her arms, stared at him, moved her neck left and right, and said, "I am currently in the investigation period, so we are temporarily not superiors and subordinates."

"Nick, if you ask me, it's impossible for you not to know how many Hydras are in S. H. I. E. L. D."

"Of course I know." Nick gave a very positive answer. He said, "But they work diligently."

Nick seemed to have been holding it in for a long time. He said helplessly, "They think their files are very meticulous, but in fact, many people were already exposed when they were recruited."

"Then why do you still use them?"

"I don't use them, should I use those local lazy people who only work 8 hours a day, have weekends off, ask me to buy them the most expensive medical insurance, and even have to call the finance department for reimbursement if the rearview mirror of their car is scratched?"

Seeing Natasha's slightly disgusted expression, Nick reached out and said, "I know, this sounds very ruthless, but Natasha, we are S. H. I. E. L. D., a spy agency. Have you ever seen a spy who has weekends off?"

Natasha pursed her lips, somewhat speechless. Nick nodded slowly and said, "To tell the truth, I don't care if they are NAZIs or KGB, as long as they can work."

"This sounds like a borderlessist."

Nick sighed and said, "The heads of all spy organizations in the world can only be borderlessists."

"Do you think the people in the CIA don't know how many spies are in their organization? Their Russian translator returns to Moscow 12 times a year, returns to report on work once a month, but they still approve his leave."

"Because if they don't use him, other Russian translators cost thousands of dollars an hour, and you don't know if he will sit in the KGB office the next day and mock your stinginess after you pay him thousands of dollars an hour."

Nick walked to the chair in the office and sat down, saying, "Many people imagine spy work as guessing riddles every day, but it's not the case."

"Everyone knows clearly where someone comes from and what they are doing. If you want to obtain intelligence from me blatantly, you have to bear the risk that the intelligence you obtain is what I deliberately prepared. This is very fair."

"Only when the opposite side plays cards can I know how many cards I need to play. If we don't infiltrate each other, what is the meaning of our existence? If there is no enemy, where does the funding come from?"

"All intelligence work in the world is actually shooting at a target in the void. Do you understand? Natasha."

Nick made a gesture and said, "You send spies to me, because you send spies to me, I also have to send spies to you. Because I sent spies to you, you have to send spies to me again. All 17,000 agents in S. H. I. E. L. D. came into being like this."

"When something happens, we can send back some of the open cards they have already shown, or when nothing happens, use this excuse to solve some difficult people."

"Arresting Hydra and repatriating KGB agents is already a quarterly activity. This can show that I didn't take the money for nothing this quarter."

Natasha walked to his opposite side, leaned against the wall, and said, "Then why do you want to thoroughly investigate Hydra now? Isn't it good to keep them working for you?"

"The problem is, the KGB doesn't know what kind of madness they have, and they have to expose this matter." Nick said with his hand against his head, "The people on Capitol Hill don't care whether Hydra has infiltrated S. H. I. E. L. D., they care about whether the KGB has infiltrated S. H. I. E. L. D., or, they do more."

"Isn't this obvious? The IRS, the Treasury Department, and Capitol Hill have all been infiltrated into a sieve. They don't look for their own reasons, but come to find you?"

Nick sighed again. You can even see very obvious wrinkles on his dark face. He said, "The KGB is not under our control, but Hydra is under our control."

"I want to push this matter to the CIA, and the CIA also wants to push this matter to me."

Natasha frowned, looked at Nick, and said, "You haven't scolded the CIA? That's impossible, right? They have never been able to do anything to you, have they?"

"That Hydra high-level was chased around the world, and there are witnesses in all countries. We have lost a lot of face."

"The old men on Capitol Hill claim that it is S. H. I. E. L. D.'s poor work that led to such a situation, so we must be responsible for solving the trouble."

"Simply put, they are biased."

"But..." Nick suddenly changed the topic and said, "Pierce came to find me, and we reached a deal." ===== CHAPTER 406 =====
