Chapter 2956 Leisure Time (Twenty-Six)
After the man left, Tim sat in the chair in a daze. Natasha brought over two cups of coffee. After Nick took a sip, he leaned back in the chair and squinted his eyes.
"I know you have a lot to ask. I won't talk about those old things. Let's talk about S.H.I.E.L.D. and the FBI first."
“Although we are both U.S. law enforcement agencies, we have some conflicts due to our different functional areas, just like the FBI and the CIA.”
"The conflict between us is actually bigger than that between them, because we both have the power to enforce the law in the country, and the boundaries are often blurred, and some things can be handled by anyone."
"No one wants to do more work, but everyone wants more money, so when something happens, everyone pushes it to the other party, and when the problem is solved, everyone wants to take credit because it can help us get more funding from Congress."
"But... screw it! I don't need such a difficult method." Nick waved his hand vigorously and said, "I have a better way!"
"In order to obtain funding and to satisfy the desire for control of certain bigwigs, the FBI has never given up on sending spies to the international organization SHIELD."
"It sounds like this is the work of the CIA, but in fact, the agents used domestically and abroad are not the same group of people. The FBI is the one that is most likely to interfere."
"Because there are only a few young people trained in local colleges every year, and some of them go to the FBI or SHIELD. As long as they bribe those people, they can easily replace SHIELD agents with their own. Naturally, it is easier for them to shift the blame or seize the results in certain matters."
Tim gradually listened to it, because this is actually a very easy to understand logic. The best way for local law enforcement agencies to seize the right to speak is to throw sand in the hands of the other party. As long as they make a slight move at the key point, they can make the other party suffer a great loss.
The method of adding sand is also very easy, because theoretically, the number of agents that can be selected from each generation in the United States is fixed. It will not suddenly increase or decrease, nor will a group of people be suddenly replaced. There are only a few people who can do this job. As long as you keep an eye on this group of people, it is easy to bribe them.
So what is the better approach that Nick is referring to?
Is it a counter-bribery? Or is it to place their own people in this group in advance?
While Tim was thinking, Nick said, "The FBI wants to bribe these people, but someone wants it more than them."
"Who?" Tim had a bad feeling.
"Of course it's the KGB," Nick said smugly. "The FBI is just trying to trip me up, but the Russian Federal Security Service wants us dead."
"So they are willing to offer a higher price than the FBI, or simply plan for a long time and directly insert their trained agents."
"But it's not that easy, right?" Tim questioned. "Don't American law enforcement agencies and secret service organizations need to conduct background checks? How can he create fake identities on a large scale within the United States?"
"Of course they can't do it, but I can!" Nick spread his hands and said, "They can't infiltrate the FBI on a large scale by themselves, but with my help, it's different. I promise to give them an identity that is so real that no one can find any problems!"
"Then...then why do you do this?" Tim still didn't quite understand.
"The KGB entered the FBI, but the FBI didn't know they were the KGB and thought they were new agents bribed by them, so they sent these new agents to S.H.I.E.L.D."
"Then the KGB has joined SHIELD? Aren't you asking for trouble?"
"No, no, no, it's not that easy for them to get into SHIELD." Nick waved his hand and said, "SHIELD is an international security organization, much higher than the FBI. It's extremely difficult to infiltrate it."
"Well, what's the difficulty?"
"Don't worry about it. Anyway, we are a very high-level organization. If you want to come in, you have to take care of everything..."
"You mean bribery? But if they meet the requirements...wait, you created their identities!"
Tim's eyes widened, and he finally understood something.
The KGB wants to infiltrate the FBI and needs Nick to help them create identities, but the FBI wants to send these KGB to SHIELD, but SHIELD can find loopholes in the identities they created for them.
There are loopholes in their identities, so they cannot be sent in by normal means, but the FBI wants to rely on these people to cause trouble for SHIELD, so they have to spend money to do it, and the FBI's funds thus fall into the hands of SHIELD.
Perfectly closed.
"Can't the FBI just send them in?" Tim said, leaning forward.
"So am I a vegetarian? If they don't use these people to cause trouble for me and hold me back, I will take away all the funds during the congressional discussion!"
"How did you do it?" Tim said, "You said that your two functions overlap, so the number of cases solved and the effectiveness of solving the cases should be similar, right?"
Nick smiled disdainfully and said, "Of course they are different. Let me ask you, what is the difference between our functions?"
"SHIELD can handle superpower cases."
"Which is the world's largest superpower terrorist organization?"
"Hydra."
"As long as I let Hydra create unlimited superpower cases, what can the FBI use to compete with me?"
"Then how do you let Hydra create unlimited superpower cases?!"
"I can have SHIELD create unlimited superpower cases."
"what?"
"Look, if a Hydra agent creates a case and the SHIELD agent goes over to solve it, then I have to pay an extra trip fare. But if a Hydra agent creates a case and the Hydra agent solves it on the spot, then wouldn't the transportation fee be saved?"
"But how can you control Hydra?"
"I can't control Hydra, but I can control S.H.I.E.L.D."
"???"
"Schiele didn't tell you?" Nick looked at Tim and said, "I remember I told him to tell you this. Without Hydra, there would be no S.H.I.E.L.D."
"Yes, he did say that, but doesn't that mean that Hydra created the case so that SHIELD could get the funding?"
"Then you think too much." Nick said: "This sentence is literal, Hydra is S.H.I.E.L.D., and S.H.I.E.L.D. is Hydra."
Tim stared at him blankly.
"Moreover, if it was a case created by a Hydra agent, and the Hydra agent solved it on the spot, there would be no need to go to the crime scene, because there would be no difference between coming back to write a report after solving the case and directly writing a report in the office."
"In this way, both parties can sit directly in the SHIELD office to write the report. I can even save the fare for the trip. I don't have to run over there, and I don't have to work hard to solve the problem. I can save a lot of time and write more reports."
"But...but the case didn't really happen!"
"Yes, this way it won't hurt ordinary people."
"Won't Congress find out?"
"How did they find out?"
"Of course, send...send the FBI..."
"That's right!" Nick snapped his fingers and said, "If they send the FBI to investigate, they will increase the FBI's funding. Once the FBI has more funding, they will rush to stuff people into SHIELD. If they want to get through SHIELD's connections, they have to give SHIELD money. If SHIELD has money, it can hire more Hydras. If there are too many Hydras, it will arouse the suspicion of Congress. Once Congress becomes suspicious, it will give the FBI funding to let them investigate..."
Oh no, this closes the loop for him, Tim thought.
"Then aren't you afraid that the KGB will steal your information?" Tim was still quite concerned about this matter.
But in fact, when he asked this question, he knew that he was being a little stupid.
If SHIELD is Hydra, then the intelligence stolen by the KGB will only be Hydra's intelligence, and it will never be able to obtain any intelligence from SHIELD.
Then, the less they could steal SHIELD's intelligence, the more they would want to send people to the United States. The more people they sent, the more new people the FBI had. The more new people they had, the more people they would send to SHIELD. The more people they sent to SHIELD, the more money they would send. The more money they sent, the more Hydras there would be. The more Hydras there were, the less SHIELD intelligence the KGB would get. The less SHIELD intelligence they had, the more people they would send to the United States...
The loop was closed for him again.
Tim covered his forehead.
"You're such a fucking idiot..." Before Tim could even utter a curse word, he suddenly thought of Wayne Group again.
After a pause of about ten seconds, he said, "You are a fucking genius!"
Tim looked at Nick with shining eyes and said, "I can help you, but I don't want your money. After the job is done, you tell me exactly how you did it."
Nick smiled and high-fived him, saying, "Deal!"
"You have to tell me what you want me to find and where it might be. The more specific the better," said Tim.
"A recorder with important information on it." Nick said, "But the trouble is that this is Schiller's personal belongings, and we don't know where he would put it. You can only find it by yourself."
Tim frowned deeply.
When he understood what Nick was doing, he had to admit that this guy was a genius. Tim didn't care whether he was moral or not. His main concern was whether he was useful or not.
To be able to be called important information by him, the importance of this thing must be beyond imagination, Tim thought, and Dr. Schiller must play an important role in this universe just like the professor.
He was originally a psychological consultant for S.H.I.E.L.D., but Nick did not ask him for it directly. Instead, he asked Tim to get it by means close to stealing, which proved that the sensitivity of this thing might be beyond his imagination.
A host of conspiracies and intrigues flashed through Tim's mind.
"You have to give me a chance," Tim said. "If your people can't create a good opportunity, I'm not sure I can succeed in one fell swoop."
"We're actually ready," Natasha said. "Remember the farm parties around Los Angeles? Schiller had a reason to go, and after he left, you found a way to check his personal belongings."
"The reason why he has to go..." Tim thought for a moment and said, "He wants Pamela to get the Punch Cabbage in, but I don't think he will go by himself because he knows how dangerous Punch Cabbage is."
"He will go." Natasha smiled mysteriously.
