Mr. Allen!"
"General Ross."
Ross stood up and shook hands with Allen, who had been appointed by the President as Secretary of State.
Following the Secretary of State came in another man with very distinct features: dark skin and an eye patch. If his skin was lighter, he would look like a medieval pirate.
However, with this skin color, one could not become a pirate in the Middle Ages. At most, he could be a slave on a pirate ship.
Nick Fury.
He has the ability to call for the Earth to drop, but he is not currently the top leader of the secret organization, but only a deputy.
At this moment, Nick Fury's eyes fell on Lake, who was standing next to General Ross in military uniform, and his one eye narrowed.
Just then.
General Ross looked at Nick Fury, then asked Secretary of State Allen, "Who is this..."
Nick Fury extended his hand toward General Ross: "Nick Fury, Deputy Director of the Strategic Homeland Security and Logistics Support Agency."
General Ross glanced at Nick Fury's offered hand.
No grip.
snort.
Not only did he want to poach my people, but he also plotted against my people. If the Secretary of State hadn't come today, with General Ross's hot temper, he would have called the guards to detain Nick Fury here as well.
What land and what bureau.
What the hell is this? Not to mention having heard of it, even if he hasn't heard of it, Ross is not afraid of it.
What?
oh.
Does he have the legal power to enforce the law domestically through a resolution of Congress? If not, then this bureau does not exist. Impersonating the FBI is a federal felony.
After glancing at Nick Fury's hand, General Ross chuckled and looked directly at Minister Allen: "Mr. Minister, the director of the bureau behind you is so powerful. He even arrested the military."
The military was in high spirits at this time.
Although the World Trade Center incident two months ago dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Eagle Sauce, the morale of the military is now very high. Last month alone, the number of soldiers who joined the army for revenge exceeded the total number of the whole of last year.
Nick Fury's single eye flickered, and without a trace of embarrassment, he looked directly at General Ross. "General Ross, Inspector Lake Edwin is suspected of intentionally killing one of our agents. Yesterday, my people simply wanted to ask him to come over and assist with the investigation."
General Ross suddenly realized something and looked at Lake next to him: "Did you kill someone?"
Lake shook his head. "No, General. It was an assassin, not me."
Nick Fury said directly: "Then we also have evidence that you are related to the killer. He helped you kill two innocent people who want to sue you for intentional injury."
Lake didn't say anything.
Ross looked at Nick expressionlessly: "Any evidence?"
Nick Fury looked at Ross and said, "So, we ask him to go back and assist in the investigation. General, please don't stop us."
Luo Siha smiled and said, "Don't stop me. You want to arrest my people. Don't stop me?"
Said.
General Ross walked to his desk and picked up the phone. "Hello, have Colonel Glenn Turnbull of the Judge Advocate General's Office bring some judges over."
After hanging up the phone.
General Ross said to Nick Fury, "Even if Lieutenant Lake Edwin is truly suspected of a crime, the only ones who should investigate him are our Military Courts. You plotted against my people and you want to arrest them. Think carefully about how you're going to answer me."
Nick Fury frowned and said, "General Ross, Lake Edwin is not a military man. He has retired."
General Ross sneered: "Oh, really? You seem to know my soldiers very well."
Isn't it obvious that you have thoroughly checked out my soldiers when you said this? And you still say that you don't plan to poach them. You must be very bold to dare to poach my people.
General Ross released the person but not the file because he hoped that one day Lake would come to his senses and return to the army. After all, he had watched Lake grow up, and no one understood Lake's potential better than him.
Secretary of State Allen quickly spoke up to smooth things over, but in his heart he couldn't help but blame Nick Fury behind him for betraying him.
When Secretary of State Allen received the call this morning, he thought it was a minor conflict between SHIELD and the military. But now he found out, is this just a minor conflict?
This is like stirring up a hornet's nest.
Secretary of State Allen said to Nick Fury, his tone already somewhat unhappy, but after all, Nick Fury was also on the side of the political establishment: "Deputy Director Fury, do you have any evidence to support what you said?"
Nick Fury looked at Riker, who was standing there expressionlessly in his military uniform, and was silent for a moment: "No."
The fatal bullet came from outside the window.
And when the bullet came, Lake had an ironclad alibi.
The same thing happened with the white and black pair before.
but...
There was no evidence at all, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lake was involved in this matter. The two people who planned to frame Lake were killed, and the person who planned to poach him was also killed.
Does this require evidence?
If Lake was already in S.H.I.E.L.D. at this moment, Nick guaranteed that there would be a hundred ways to find evidence.
But right now?
Damn it, what went wrong? This guy had clearly retired from the army, so how could he be a military man again?
Nick Fury was a little confused.
But now that things have come to this, it is impossible to capture the person. If we insist on going down, the only ones who will be hurt are SHIELD, not the military.
For the Eagle Sauce, SHIELD can only be regarded as an adopted son.
General Ross, who is a lieutenant general in the Eagle Sauce and holds real power, is a son of pure blood.
so.
Nick Fury took a deep breath and said to General Ross, "General Ross, since Lieutenant Edwin is a military officer, we have no right to interfere with national security. Please release the detained agents."
"Oh!"
Ross deadpanned, "It's too late."
Just then.
Colonel Glenn Turnbull, the judge-martial officer, came in with several of her men. "General."
General Ross looked directly at Colonel Glenn Turnbull and said, "Initiate an investigation and work with the FBI. Yesterday, several unidentified individuals posing as FBI agents attempted to kidnap Lieutenant Lake Edwin."
Colonel Glenn Turnbull: "Yes, sir!"
Nick Fury's expression suddenly changed: "General Ross..."
Secretary of State Allen's expression also changed slightly: "General Ross..."
This is a blatant slap in the face.
Although Secretary of State Allen is able to intervene in the FBI, he can find a way to make the FBI directly admit that those SHIELD agents are federal agents.
but...
This will be a black spot. It seems to be a small problem now, but who can say what it will be like in the future?
General Ross simply raised his hand to stop the two men from talking, without giving the Secretary of State any face at all, and even asked his guards to come in and politely ask them to see the guests off.
