Chapter 38 Maria Hill:

"Do you want to believe in the wisdom of future generations?"

"Yes."

"...What does this mean?"

"The meaning is very simple, do it first and then talk about it."

It is not advisable to look forward and backward.

And this is a taboo!

You can't say that because you are worried that killing Dickon will lead to vampire riots in New York City, you can just watch Dickon doing things without doing anything.

They are law enforcement agencies.

Again, since ancient times, only thieves have been afraid of soldiers, and there has never been a reason why soldiers have been afraid of thieves.

As for the consequences?

What does this have to do with the Sentinel Secret Service, which currently only has mutant jurisdiction?

Even if there is?

So what.

With this in mind, Locke looked at Maria Hill and said with a smile: "If soldiers come to block it, water will come and soil will cover it, right?"

Hill nodded, seeming to agree with Locke's words.

The corners of Locke's mouth rose.

The senior commander of SHIELD seems to be nothing more than...

Just then.

Hill put away the smile on his face and looked at Natasha beside him, with a serious expression: "Did you see it? He really wants us to take the blame."

Natasha raised her eyebrows and looked at Locke.

The smile on Locke's face seemed to freeze at this moment.

He looked at Hill.

"I didn't..."

"It's okay if you want us to take the blame."

"Um?"

Locke blinked and looked at Maria Hill who was rushing to take the blame.

These days, he has only seen people rushing to grab credit, but this is the first time he has seen people rushing to take the blame.

He was a little unsure of what high-end operations Maria Hill was playing.

Natasha was a little confused after hearing this.

"Hill..."

"Don't talk."

Maria Hill turned her head and glanced at Natasha, then looked at Locke again, with a smile and a serious tone.

"Aegis can carry this pot."

"..."

Locke frowned and said nothing.

After a while.

He raised his eyes and looked at Maria Hill again, and also smiled.

"cost."

"Don't you need to ask your supervisor for instructions?"

"Need not."

Locke shook his head: "If the price is not too high, I can still nod."

Just so confident.

Asking means he has the final say.

The reason why I ask again is because his last name is Underwood, and he comes from Underwood, South Carolina.

Hearing this, Hill nodded.

She believed it.

Others may not know what Underwood's last name stands for, but she certainly understands that she often works in Washington.

"Okay, then I'll tell you directly."

"explain."

Locke was concise and to the point.

He was not worried at all that Hill would make a big fuss, since he had the whole story.

However, if SHIELD can be willing to take the blame and complete the operation to expand its authority, Locke feels that even if Hill Lion opens his mouth, the bureau will be happy to accept it.

Locke thought to himself.

Hill didn't show any pretense and stated his conditions directly.

"If something happens that requires SHIELD to take the blame, then after the incident is over, I will have a share of all the gains."

"That's the first condition."

Locke raised his eyebrows.

These words...

It's very complicated.

In the first half of the sentence, the subject who needs to take the blame is the shield, but in the second half of the sentence, the subject who gains something becomes an individual again.

Locke looked at Hill and thought to himself, remaining calm.

"How many conditions are there in total?"

"Three."

"Hill, you are good at business."

"There's nothing I can do. I'm afraid SHIELD will take the blame for this. In that case, it's better to sell it at a better price as soon as possible. What do you think, Locke?"

"Ha ha."

Locke smiled and shook his head, then looked at Hill: "Okay, I agree to this condition, let's continue."

Hill smiled.

"The second condition is that when you go out, SHIELD can activate the Sentinel Secret Service ID."

This work is compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

"this……"

Locke frowned, thought for a while, and then nodded: "I can't make the decision on this. I will report it to you, but the problem shouldn't be big."

It's not like SHIELD hasn't used their Sentinel Secret Service credentials.

It's just that if SHIELD did this before and was discovered, the Sentinel Secret Service would not endorse them, but now they are required to have the Sentinel Secret Service endorse them.

so……

Although Locke can't make the decision on this issue, compared with expanding the law enforcement authority of the Sentinel Secret Service, it is not a big problem.

Seeing Locke say this, Hill felt relieved.

Still the same sentence.

Aegis is very powerful and was jointly funded by the five overlords.

But SHIELD is also very weak, because the five major overlords funded their establishment, but did not give them any legal basis for legitimacy.

To put it simply, Aegis can strike hard in any third world country, but when it comes to the territory of the five major overlords, it still needs to borrow someone else's identity to do things.

Especially on the federation.

Therefore, instead of being blamed for nothing, it is better to sell the Aegis for a good price as soon as possible, and at least change it to a legal identity that can walk in the future.

"What about the last condition?"

"In the future, the Sentinel Secret Service will not have any law enforcement power over the mutants I capture or recruit, unless they actively commit crimes."

"..."

Locke was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this, and then looked at Hill in silence.

"Do you think that under this condition, they will..."

"I'm talking about me, not SHIELD, Locke."

"Hmm?"

Locke reacted.

Maria Hill smiled and said, "Compared with the effect of allowing the Sentinelese to expand its jurisdiction, my last request should not be excessive."

It is indeed not excessive.

Locke gave the answer in his heart.

Do you really think that the Sentinelese was established because they can't stand the existence of mutants?

Uh... There are indeed people in the bureau who want to kill mutants, such as Brown.

But the establishment of the Sentinelese was definitely not because of these people.

Individuals talk about grudges, while politicians only talk about interests.

The establishment of a Sentinelese that is no less than the FBI has solved the job needs of many people.

At the same time, it has increased the voice of many politicians.

Locke has no doubt that if supporting mutants was the mainstream back then, then the mission of the Sentinelese would not be to capture mutants, but to protect them.

Even now, as long as the benefits are enough, the Sentinel Secret Service can turn around and change from arresting mutants to supporting mutants.

But...

Locke looked at Maria Hill with some confusion.

"Is Deputy Director Maria Hill planning to switch from SHIELD?"

"No."

"Then..."

"Didn't you just say that?"

Maria Hill looked at Locke with a smile: "I'm just the deputy director, just a senior commander, not the director."

The most important point.

It's SHIELD that's taking the blame, not Maria Hill.

She's just a deputy director.

No matter how much accountability is imposed on her by the higher-ups, she can't be held accountable.
