"Ward, Ward, help me inform Melinda that there is a commander's meeting at 4 o'clock this afternoon."
On the ground floor of the 21st Century Bell Telephone Company, in Merlin's original office, Coulson was sitting in a chair, handling the papers in his hand, and said to the phone on the desk: "By the way, Agent Jimmy is in need of a new batch of defensive equipment and some high-tech materials in Kansas. ”"Yes, Chief Coulson."
A capable man's voice rang from the phone, it was Coulson's job assistant he had chosen for himself after he became the head of the S.D.O.L.D. department.His name is Grant.
Ward, unlike other rookie agents from S.H.I.E.L.D., was a young man with super executive skills who was transferred from the European Division.
Agent Gatler is at work.Because of Merlin's rise to command, Gatler saw the potential of S.D.O.L.D., a subordinate department under Merlin's direct management, and he thought it would be more promising to bring the capable Ward here than to keep him in the European branch.So Gatler had a phone call with Merlin, Level 3 Field Agent Grant.
Ward was transferred back to New York and became a member of S.D.O.L.D.He also lived up to Gatler's letter of recommendation, and the young man showed himself to be good in a short period of time, and was looked down upon differently by Coulson.According to the grapevine, Coulson plans to train Agent Ward to be the leader of an action team, but Ward's qualifications are a bit shallow in a department like S.D.O.L.D., so it is estimated that he will have to wait a while for this excellent field agent to be promoted.After all, under Merlin's control, this department has grown from a small marginal department to a key department under the S.H.I.E.L.D. system, fully responsible for the monitoring and management of supernatural and alien affairs, especially after successfully controlling Brimstone Harbor and spreading its influence to the entire East Coast in a short period of time, but anyone who knows knows can see that the rise of S.D.O.L.D. is inevitable.But for Coulson himself, the last two weeks have not been pleasant.First of all, his girlfriend, cellist Miss Audrey, has completed her studies in New York and has returned to her hometown of Polanty, and the long-distance relationship does not feel good, which makes Coulson, who sleeps alone at night, somewhat irritable.Second, his old boss, Merlin, went to the Trident building and became the deputy director of S.H.I.E.L.D., although nominally he was still directly in charge of S.D.O.L.D., but he no longer presides over the specific work of this department.He left all his work to Coulson, and despite the help and sharing of Melinda and Jimmy, Barbie, Tripp and Mike, Lincoln and a series of other friends, the information about the alien world and supernatural events from the entire East Coast still poured into Coulson's mind, like a flood, so that Coulson could not stop it at all.During this period of time, he worked overtime until late at night every day, but he only barely mastered the internal system of S.D.O.L.D., and it is estimated that it will take some time for him to adapt to the details and completely control the situation.Coulson is not Merlin after all, and his ability to receive and process information is still slightly higher than that of ordinary people.What Merlin takes 10 minutes to work on, Coulson probably takes 20 minutes or more to complete.In fact, if it weren't for the Witcher's strong body, I'm afraid Coulson would have been crushed under the pressure of this heavy work.He was a responsible man, and he didn't want to disappoint Chief Merlin, who had single-handedly pulled him."
Ding, ding, ding."
The sound of his cell phone interrupted Coulson's thoughts as he read the papers, and he picked it up and glanced at it, well, it was a call from Chief Merlin.Coulson put his phone to his ear, and as soon as the call was connected, Merlin's calm voice rang."
Coulson, why hasn't the budget for the next quarter been submitted to me yet?
Also, how could there be a sudden large-scale food poisoning outbreak at the ghost base?
”"Well, the budget is ready, sir, I'll send it to you."
Coulson tucked his phone between his head and shoulders, his hands tapping on the computer's keyboard, and he said to Merlin with some guilt, "As for the food poisoning at the ghost base...
Because of the water pollution accident in the laboratory, I have temporarily closed the water source there and arranged for personnel to be replaced. ”"Water contamination in the lab?"
There was a hint of helplessness in Merlin's tone, and he said, "Let me guess, Moira is conducting an unplanned experiment again?"
”"Uh, yes."
Coulson said, "I'm sorry, sir, I didn't notice the problem in advance. ”"What does this have to do with you?"
Merlin asked rhetorically, "Even if I can't control Moira's hand, you can control her?"
Coulson, it's good to be brave enough to admit mistakes, but don't force yourself to take the blame for these mistakes that have nothing to do with you. ”He said: "Temporarily seal Moira's lab, give her a small warning, let her go to Lillian's lab to help out...
Uh, forget it, you can handle this, I won't interfere more, after all, you are the leader of S.D.O.L.D. ”"But this is a warning, Coulson, you better keep an eye on the ghost base, if something happens over there, it will be a big problem.""
Okay, sir, I'll take care of it."
Coulson replied, "I'll schedule a thorough inspection in the next few days to rule out safety hazards in the base." ”"Well, let's do it."
Merlin said, "I'm sure you can do it well." ”After saying that, he hung up the phone, it seems that Merlin really doesn't intend to interfere too much with Coulson's management, and Coulson put down the phone, he sighed: "The more you trust me, the more pressure I have...
Alas, it seems that being needed is not only a blessing, but also a burden. ”"What are you complaining about?"
The door to Coulson's office was pushed open, and Melinda, who was standing at the door, heard Coulson's emotion, she put a stack of papers in her hand in front of Coulson's eyes, and she said, "What burden?"
”"No, nothing."
Coulson shook his head, he looked at the papers on the table, and he said, "What is this?"
”"It is the application for the establishment of branch departments in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and the planning scheme of the two departments."
Melinda flicked her short hair, and she said, "Chief Merlin has asked us to spread our influence to the West Coast as quickly as possible, so I plan to establish two more branches over there as quickly as possible." ”"It's going a little too fast, Melinda."
Coulson looked at the papers on the table and said to Melinda, "I'm not going to expand blindly until I'm really in control, it will distract our already strapped human resources."
I plan to set up a branch office in San Francisco in the first half of next year. ”Holding his chin in his hands, he looked at Melinda and said, "I'm going to use this new batch of newcomers, and they still need time to grow." ”"Okay."
Melinda didn't refute, she said to Coulson, "You're the boss now, so I'll listen to you."
Also, about Agent McRae...
How are you going to arrange him?
”The question made Coulson hesitate for a moment.In the current S.D.O.L.D. system, Jesse McCray is a very special person, he has excellent combat skills, excellent intelligence gathering ability, and good command ability, which can be compared to high-level agents.But the problem is that there is something wrong with McCree's origins, theoretically speaking, he is still a monitored person at the ghost base, Merlin has given McCree a chance, and McCree has also proved his intention to "change his ways" in several operations.Merlin had planned to suck him into his department, but a sudden promotion put the matter on hold, and now the issue was put in front of Coulson's eyes.He had to make a decision whether to trust McRae or let him continue in his current status as an "idler".After a dozen seconds of thought, Coulson looked up and said to Melinda, "I'm going to recruit him as a full-fledged agent and give him a team to lead." ”"Was it the command in the first place?"
Melinda frowned and said, "Won't this cause controversy?"
And, again, the old question, do you think he is trustworthy?
”"He's proven himself, hasn't he?""
In the Nordic theater, in Brimstone Harbor, he was a pioneer and willing to be trained in the Secret Service course, I don't have the ability to see through people's hearts like Chief Merlin, but I feel that I can trust him, we give him a chance he needs, and I have a hunch that he won't let us down," Coulson said.However, you have a point in mind, so let him lead the newly formed Team 11. ”Phil Coulson, the new chief of S.D.O.L.D., gestured his finger and said, "To borrow the phrase that the director said in the previous meeting, what he thinks is not really important, the focus is on his actions." ”"Well, you convinced me."
Melinda raised her wrist and looked at the time, and she said, "Just now your assistant Ward told me that there was a meeting at 4 p.m., right?"
”"Hmm."
Coulson nodded, and he said, "It's about the meeting of the newly recruited agents rotating in various departments, and about the allocation of the four new business planes assigned to us."
I'm also going to hear how you're feeling about your work these days, especially Barbie, who's not like us, doesn't have a lot of experience in charge of the overall department. ”"They're doing a great job."
Melinda said: "Miami, Atlanta and Philadelphia have had a quiet week. ”"I need to hear them say it themselves."
Coulson laughed and said, "I need to hear their debriefing, only they know what problems and troubles they have...
But now that we're a few hours until 3 p.m., would you like to take a trip to Kansas with me?

”"Ghost base?"
Melinda crossed her arms and said helplessly, "I spent some time there before, and it was a very boring place. ”"But it's also a very important place, especially at this moment when the mutant Utopia Island is about to appear in front of the public's eyes, and there must be no problems there."
Coulson stood up and packed up his things, and he said to Melinda, "Let's go, let's go over together and do a surprise check to see what is really going on there." ”Melinda looked at Coulson with a strange expression, she took out her sunglasses from her pocket, buttoned them on her face, and said to Coulson: "After you become leaders, will you all start to like this kind of surprise inspection?"
”"This way we can peel off the camouflage and see the real picture."
Coulson waved his hand disapprovingly, and 20 minutes later, a small plane took off from New York and flew in the direction of Kansas.—————————————————————" is really unusual. ”In the laboratory of the ghost base, Miss Lilian, a researcher at the base, was watering her beloved flowers and plants when she heard a slightly surprised exclamation from behind.Miss Lillian turned her head to look at Researcher Moira sitting in front of the computer behind her, and she brushed her long fiery red hair and asked, "Did something happen?"
”"Someone sent me an email saying they were going to offer me a job offer."
Ms.
Moira, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, tilted her head and said to Lillian: "You should also know that my reputation in the past period of time is not very good, but all enterprises or laboratories that are affected by public opinion have stayed away from me.So, I suspect that the email is either a prank or has an ulterior motive. ”"Don't be so pessimistic, maybe someone has noticed your talent again."
Lillian put down the kettle in her hand, and she walked over to Moira to read the mail on the computer with the elusive senior.Although she and Moira are not very good friends, after working together for a while, after all, Ms.
Moira has also given her a lot of valuable guidance on her research topics related to leaf greens and plant toxins, which has kept Lillian's relationship with Moira good, and even willing to help Moira clean up the mess after the results of an unplanned trial go wrong.Seriously, if it weren't for Lillian's help, the large-scale food poisoning that has occurred in the base in the past few days would not have subsided so quickly."
Hey, this company...
Raccoon City's umbrella company. ”Lillian looked at the emblem at the bottom of the letter, a white and red ring that was divided into 8 points, red and white staggered for 4 squares each, looking like an open red and white umbrella."
It also emailed me to be the head of the drug testing department, which if I'm not mistaken, a few days ago.""
Hmm...
Aren't you going to check it out?
”Moira said to Lillian: "I have a bad reputation, and I don't expect to be in public for the rest of my life, but you are different, Lillian, you are a real genius in your field of study, you should not be buried in this little obscure place, I think you can give it a try." ”"Forget it."
Lillian shook her head, and the beautiful girl whispered, "I always thought that this company was a little weird, maybe it was just a psychological effect, but after all, I promised Chief Merlin to help him simplify the experiment, and it was almost finished, so, everything will wait until it is completed, and then..."
Before Lillian's words could be finished, a huge eastward sound exploded on the ground above the two of them, and then, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded throughout the base."
Enemy attack!
Enemy attack!
”Winston's voice rang out from communicators all over the base: "The base is under attack by high-intensity energy!"
Enter the highest level of alert!
Defense program, launch!
