Chapter 140 Nick Fury’s tough day in Congress

As the former talk show host said, Raymond Xu is indeed in Congress, but he is currently busy with 911 firefighters and has nothing to do with him - in fact, the professor is busy torturing The fun of Nick Fury, the bastard who always tortures superheroes of all stripes with riddles, is now falling into the hands of the "Political Man".

"I think SHIELD may be the biggest joke in the United States of America since the Civil War!" Raymond made a categorical assertion in front of a long list of congressmen:

"Especially after the Cold War, S.H.I.E.L.D. has played almost no positive value in any affairs. They sit back and watch the United States of America being dragged into the quagmire of terrorism, spending a large amount of their budget every year!"

Raymond slapped a budget report on the table, and turned back to look at Cynthia Chen in the audience - that was the SHIELD expenditure report issued by the IRS for him:
"A silent all-terrain infantry tactical enhancement system with a research and development cost of US$1000 million." Raymond sneered and raised the large printed photo in his hand: "Congressmen, do you want to know what this is?"

The congressmen sitting on the stage and off the stage felt very sad. Of course, people on the Senate Armed Services Committee also did similar things, but this time it happened to be Nick Fury's turn to be unlucky.

Professor Xu shrugged: "If you are familiar with the construction site, you must also be familiar with the motor-assisted trolley on the construction site."

The audience burst into laughter, but Nick Fury was sitting in his chair calmly, with one hand even crossing the back of the chair and resting on the back, appearing unconcerned.

"Gentlemen, you all know that according to confidentiality rules, I have the right to adjust public financial income and expenditure data." The black director said with a strong RAP accent, "SHIELD still has many research projects that must be kept secret from society. With all due respect to these confidential research projects, Mr. Xu, you are not qualified to have access to them."

"Oh?" Raymond looked around the silent audience and laughed: "As far as I know, there are many cooperations between Stark Industries and SHIELD. The former CEO and criminal suspect, the late Obama Daiya Stan has left us a lot of relevant evidence."

Raymond stretched out his hand and motioned to his secretary to turn on the TV nearby - he was not here to challenge Congress and the government. There was no need to use his watch to control the wireless equipment in the venue like Stark did. To show your technical abilities:
"In the Middle East, there is a transaction scene between SHIELD and the extremist organization Ten Rings. They handed over a large number of Stark Industries weapons to this terrorist organization. As far as I know, the terrorist organization that attacked Mr. Anthony Stark was It’s this Ten Rings Gang!”

"Britain, they funded the Irish Common Army, which carried out multiple terrorist attacks on London. This is the number of LAW-style rocket launchers recorded by Director Obadiah Stane that was sold to this extremist organization. This is the rocket launcher. Images used to attack our British allies."

"The interest structure of the United States of America is very complex, and there are no absolute enemies and friends in diplomacy." Nick Fury retorted slyly, "Professor, the evidence you presented is just what we have to do in order to fight against our competitors. 'Evil deeds'."

Raymond narrowed his eyes. He only knew Nick Fury as the Riddler, but he didn't expect that the black director had learned a lot about CNN and the Wall Street Journal's ability to confuse right and wrong.After hearing this, he said no more and just pushed the document forward:
"Okay, let's talk about SHIELD's own problems."

Raymond had long been prepared that Nick Fury was an iron pea - American bureaucrats who could climb this ladder were often surprisingly tough-talking:

"Multiple departments of S.H.I.E.L.D. have been operating in low efficiency for a long time -" Raymond read out his report off the script: "In addition to participating in improper financial transactions, deceiving the IRS, and dealing with terrorists, there is evidence that... S.H.I.E.L.D.’s funds have long flowed to many unscrupulous mercenary organizations overseas, and they have even used mercenaries to murder American citizens.”

As Raymond finished speaking, a picture appeared on the screen:
"This is a picture of members of the IRS special operations team being ambushed by a mercenary group in Virginia a few weeks ago. After investigation by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Department of Homeland Security, we found that this mercenary was taking orders from this person——"

Xu tapped the remote control, and a middle-aged white man's face appeared on the screen - Nick Fury's eyes couldn't help but flicker. He never expected that the other party would find this person so quickly -

"George Bartok!" Raymond Xu emphasized, "A former French General Service for External Security agent. After retiring, he joined a mercenary organization. Later, he was successively recruited by British MI[-] because of his connections with the Irish Common Army and Chadian rebels. and the French Directorate General for External Security as dangerous targets.”

Nick Fury said nothing, but Maria Hill, who was sitting next to him, retorted first: "What does this have to do with our hearing today, Professor?"

Raymond glanced at Deputy Director Hill, who had a serious look on his face, and sighed lightly - Hill, who works hard, doesn't talk much and is loyal, is a very good talent, but if he doesn't destroy Nick... Given Fury's status in her heart, she might not be able to conquer this capable agent.

"Through the intelligence network of the IRS, coupled with a little technical means from Stark Industries and myself, we discovered that a recent expenditure of SHIELD was transferred out in the name of Director Nick Fury, and the money was transferred It was paid to Director Fury’s mother’s neighbor’s account—” Maria Hill watched Raymond smile to herself—the man’s smile was as cold as water: “I contacted the local police station and found out This so-called 'neighbor' has already been laid in a coffin."

"Subsequently, this amount was transferred in and out of dozens of companies in the Cayman Islands hundreds of times." Raymond shrugged, "Based on SHIELD's own technology, I developed a program that can ignore people like Nick ·The cover-up that smart guys like Director Fury think is seamless..."

"I found out that the money ended up being transferred to George Bartók."

"Dare you ask my Director Fury?" Raymond looked at Nick Fury provocatively. "How can you have such a large amount of dealings with a mercenary who launched an open terrorist attack on the territory of the United States of America and attacked the IRS?" Isn’t it because he has an inappropriate relationship with your mother?”

Everyone burst into laughter on and off the stage. Maria Hill did not take Raymond Xu's insult to the director seriously - but the deputy director who was loyal to his principles really didn't like such behavior either.

"If you want to anger me -" Nick Fury said harshly, "I suggest you..."

"It's better not to do this?" Raymond Xu interrupted Nick Fury's words preemptively. He didn't give the director of SHIELD any room to refute:
"In addition to this, an individual or terrorist organization known as the 'Winter Soldier' ​​has long threatened the interests of the United States of America for decades. We even believe that he was involved in the death of President John F. Kennedy, which is within the responsibilities of S.H.I.E.L.D. thing, but..."

"There are also multiple attacks on our country by the Red Empire spy agency 'Red House', including the spy agency's theft of Stark Industries weapons... And what did S.H.I.E.L.D. do? Recruited members of the 'Red House' Agent Natasha Romanoff, and she was not properly vetted."

"From a technical point of view, the multiple development programs led by SHIELD are far more opaque than imagined; from a humanitarian point of view, we found that they were using volunteers in several SHIELD laboratories in South America. An illegal experiment in which drugs were injected into volunteers and CIA agents without their knowledge."

Raymond sighed: "Besides being evil, SHIELD has almost never done any normal work."

Nick Fury tried to refute something, but when he was about to speak, the chairman of the hearing on the stage raised his gavel and knocked "dong dong dong" repeatedly, stopping the director's attempt to refute.

"But -" Raymond looked at Nick Fury aside, he laughed, and his voice trembled with joy as he read the report: "Although we found that there are so many functional departments of S.H.I.E.L.D. While it was able to fulfill its obligations, it was damaging the work of other parts of the Federation and consuming a large amount of national property, but at least one part of S.H.I.E.L.D. was functioning normally."

"What is it?" Maria Hill asked. After being degraded like this in such a hearing, she, the deputy director of S.H.I.E.L.D., was naturally disgraced.

"The air-conditioning system is working normally, Deputy Director and Director!" Raymond Xu replied in a dignified tone. "Although SHIELD's messy functions have failed to work, its air-conditioning system has indeed been working continuously over the past few decades. Keep it in perfect working order, and let's give a round of applause to Director Nick Fury himself, who is in charge of the air conditioning system!"

Nick Fury's dark face turned red with anger, and there was sparse applause from the audience - and a few seconds later it turned into a big round of applause.

"This ends my speech, Mr. Chairman." Raymond stood up, bowed to greet the congressmen on the stage, and then he opened his speech book: "Let me see - there are more Including the Departments of Energy, CIA, Defense, Justice, Interior, Agriculture, Commerce, Labor, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, Transportation, Energy, Education, and Veterans Affairs. More than a dozen departments within the agency are going to question Director Nick Fury——"

Sweat dripped from Nick Fury's forehead and neck. He looked at Raymond with resentful eyes and said nothing.

"I wish you good luck, my lord!"
