How did I become a villain
Page 259
Because his usual personality is like this, and his family is powerful, his protests did not put him in danger.
Perhaps it was precisely because he only cursed a few words to vent his dissatisfaction, and the threat level was not great, so he was able to survive in the chaos.
McCarthy clearly had more important things to do.On the bright side, he is the eye of the entire storm, and he still maintains a sense of reason amidst the madness.He didn't have time to pay attention to this rookie who had his tail trampled on and screamed, but instead focused on other more meaningful things.
So far, McCarthy has only targeted people on the list. Some of them have been investigated by the FBI, and some of them are safe and sound for the time being, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that this comfort will not last long.
Among so many names, there is another one who has not been investigated so far, and has not even been questioned.
Griffin Zeppelin, her identity is so special that neither McCarthy nor his men dare to point the finger at her first.But this is not some kindness or conscience discovery, but the forces behind him have been waiting for something for a long time, so that they have not troubled her for so long.
The two sides spent some time in a peaceful confrontation.
However, the longer the time dragged on, the more people felt that the rain was about to come.Especially the resignation of the other people on the list. After the arrest, the minions inspired by the victory began to eagerly try the most conspicuous woman on the list.
Before the trouble came, the S.H.I.E.L.D. office at the United Nations welcomed a guest.
"I'm quite surprised, you dare to come here at this time." Seeing the person coming, Griffin still let him in.
Pushed to the foreground by public opinion and the current situation, McCarthy, who made everyone's face changed, sat opposite him in a clean suit, without showing any arrogance.
If you don't connect that name with himself, he looks so ordinary.
"My time is precious. Tell me, sir. What are the people behind you planning to do by adding my name to the list without permission."
McCarthy wasn't surprised that Griffin saw through his ruse.
"Your rate of expansion is terrifying."
Griffin laughed disdainfully.
These people dare not show their faces, so they use others as cannon fodder.
"So? You'd rather be a knife in their hands?"
"I have no choice."
However, at this time Griffin suddenly said: "If your family members have been threatened, you can speak out. The FBI and CIA can't control it. S.H.I.E.L.D. decides for you."
McCarthy was stunned. He didn't expect that she would say such words when they were already in a state of hostility.At this moment, his heart was slightly touched.But then he realized that this might just be the tenderness card played by this woman.I am also in my 40s, half buried in the earth, and I almost fell into her path.
She is really good at deceiving people.
The slight turmoil in my heart quickly calmed down.Looking at each other, he shook his head.If only this is the case, it would be simple.Unfortunately, all of this is of his own free will.
"If you were just the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., I wouldn't bother you."
"If I were still so ordinary, I would never be able to be the director," she responded. "What they want is an obedient dog. Unfortunately, I am not. I am a human being. I have my own ideas. They thought they could control the fate of most people, but now it seems that they may not even be able to control their own destiny." Mastered."
If they didn't make them feel threatened by themselves, would they be so nervous and want to contain themselves?
Seeing the woman's determined expression, McCarthy knew that his trip was for nothing.What they want to see is definitely not her current expression.
Nor would she agree to their proposal.
As he left, the woman's voice came from behind McCarthy. "If you have any tricks, just use them. Don't have any reservations, but you will make yourself unlucky."
After all, if the knife is blunt, it loses its use value.
No matter what kind of agreement McCarthy brought, Griffin had no interest in knowing.If they can change the president's mind, why not just go to the president?
"Are you really going to fight them?"
The question from Howard interrupted the girl's thinking. She raised her head and saw her uncle across the table looking at her with a hint of worry in his eyes.
"You also know that McCarthy came to see me this morning." Griffin began to pick up the food in front of him. "We have nothing to talk about. If they are not willing to give up interests that do not belong to them, then there is nothing to talk about between us."
You say this as if it was not them who gave the ultimatum but you.
Howard inexplicably thought of a picture of one person surrounding a group of people.
"Whatever machinations they have, I'm ready for that," Griffin continued. "But I think, in front of those who benefited from the New Deal, most of them dare not do too much unless they really want to make this country red. So I guess, they will still think that I am a red party. The reason is to slander me with this kind of reason. Let the uninformed people be vigilant and hostile to me, thus forcing me to resign myself."
"For people like me who cannot be eliminated physically, defaming me is indeed a good choice."
"It's possible." Howard nodded in agreement.He looked around and saw that the table closest to him was more than two meters away. This guy leaned over and asked in a low voice: "But I want to know more, are you really in love with each other?"
After all, the ideas you put forward are really difficult for ordinary people to distinguish.As far as he knew, there were many similar projects and plans in the Soviet Union.
Griffin also leaned forward, and the two stared at each other through the decorative flowers in the middle of the dining table.
"If I really cheated, uncle, will you report me?"
Looking at the girl's swearing eyes, Howard didn't know whether he should believe it or not.
Originally, he just wanted to ask on a whim, and he didn't really want to know.To him, it doesn't matter whether the girl is red or blue.It is impossible for her to attack herself because of the change of camp and position, and it is also impossible for her to attack her because of the different positions of the other party.
No matter what, this child grew up by himself.
The uncle and nephew were silent again, each processing the delicious food in front of them.
After a while, Howard suddenly said: "Actually, if you want me to say, McCarthy is nothing to be afraid of at all."
Volume 269.5: [-] What are you doing with him?
Oh?
Griffin said in his heart, Uncle, you finally got to the point, no wonder you gave up the opportunity to be gentle with your girlfriend and came to have dinner with me.
If he hadn't said a word the whole time, just buried his head in his food, maybe Griffin would have complained to Maria afterward that he'd gone off to find other women for fun.
"Appreciate further details."
Howard was very satisfied with Griffin's humility to accept advice. He chuckled twice, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and then suddenly became serious.
"He's just a cannon fodder who was elected by some people." Uncle pointed out sharply. "It's still the same old way. If you don't have the guts to attack face to face, you can only find some bad moves to sneak attack from behind. Even if they don't show up, I probably know who they are."
"Don't look at them attacking from all directions now, as if they are unstoppable. But if you think about it carefully, have our interests been seriously hit so far? They only dare to retaliate against communists. Although you are on that list name, but do they dare to trouble you?"
Of course, Howard knew that the reason for writing this was that the people behind McCarthy wanted to forcibly link her with the Red Party, and then use her identity as the Red Party to smear her, but this kind of conspiracy is very ridiculous in reality.
Do they think that someone like Eisenhower would choose to attack her at such a critical juncture?It is true that he is indeed afraid of the speed of the Red Party's spread in the United States, but he is more concerned about his political ambitions.
As long as the quality of life of the country's citizens can be improved, and the high welfare and high treatment better than that of the Soviet Union can be achieved, and the people are not stupid, why would they join the Red Party?
And where did the money come from?
It's not up to us to give him the bottom line.
Are you looking for those old energy capital bosses to invest?Don't people pay back their money?
How can we talk so easily?
The reason why President T acquiesced to the current development of the situation was because he also wanted to use this to deal with a group of real diehards, and this was only a small number of people on the list.His head was a bit bigger, but it wasn't filled with water, so it was impossible for him to attack important people.
But those people can't understand.
They didn't think about the problem from a traditional perspective, they just spread anxiety through people's panic about the Communist Party.But the more they quarreled, the more they aroused the public's resentment.
And what Eisenhower has to do is to make a final decision when the matter reaches a critical point, quickly calm the situation, and save himself a wave of prestige by the way.Use actions to tell others that President T is still wise and decisive, and it is the people below who have misunderstood the spirit and shot indiscriminately.
Don't you see that Eisenhower didn't pay much attention to these things?The infrastructure project is what he cares more about, and at the same time he can pick himself out of the vortex.Howard had already exchanged opinions with the other party, and he knew the other party's bottom line.
"Now the situation has reached the final stage, just watch it, our Z system is almost free to deal with them."
At that time, we can not only use the hands of this group of people to eliminate a group of people, but also use them backhand to quell public anger.It may be a beautiful thing to kill two birds with one stone.
"And McCarthy?" Uncle sneered. "He is like a fire, and if there is no firewood to keep him burning, he will go out by himself."
"At this moment, you, a flammable thing, don't need to pay attention to him. The more you pay attention to him, the more he burns. Those people behind, I wish you could jump in on your own initiative."
Complying with his uncle's description, Griffin showed an expression of sudden realization.
"Uncle, you are really perceptive and see everything clearly." Griffin obediently picked up the goblet in front of him, and respectfully said: "I understand, but if I look him in the eye, I will lose."
Howard was pleased with Griffin's reaction, even though it might have been intentional, but he was still pleased.
Picking up the cup and touching it with hers, the man felt heroic in his heart. "You don't have to worry about those who are hiding behind him. The real bosses won't go off in person. Those who feel anxious and trouble you are just a group of low-level characters."
"Even if I put it harshly, what we are doing now doesn't matter to those who really control the lifeblood of this world. On the contrary, the harder we work, the more they can benefit from it. So we have nothing to worry about where?"
money?Not worth mentioning to them.
After taking a sip of the happy water in the glass, Griffin was full of smiles. "I can't tell, Uncle, that you are so clever."
"That's natural, your uncle and me... what do you mean?" Howard was unhappy.
I've always been smart, okay?Who do you think is escorting you behind your back when you are doing something wrong?Who was behind you to calm things down when you made a mess?
It's my uncle.
"Believe me, this is just praise and praise, I have no other meaning." Griffin said seriously.She changed the subject calmly. "Then according to Uncle, how can I jump out of this vortex?"
"Huh?" Howard opened his eyes suddenly, and said in surprise: "You are such a troublemaker who wants to jump out this time? This is really rare."
"Uncle!" Griffin was annoyed.She stomped her feet and stared at him with her mouth puffed out.
I'm telling you something serious!
Howard laughed. It was really rare to see a girl look so pretty. It was the best reward for today's meal.
After laughing, he paused for a moment before saying, "It's not easy to jump out? Isn't it good to just find an excuse?"
"whispering sound--"
I thought you would come up with some good ideas after thinking about it, but this is the result?
"Okay." Create an alibi for yourself?Just like what our president T is doing now. "But will this give people the illusion of 'I'm afraid of the other party, so I have to hide'?"
Howard glanced at the other party and asked, "Are you afraid of them?"
"Of course not." Griffin shook his head. "I understand."
"But..." She glanced at her uncle again. "You deliberately sent me away at this time, do you have any secrets about wanting to eat alone?"
Just like last time, he put aside himself at the most critical moment and seized the fruits of victory from others.
This woman!
Griffin's suspicion really made Howard upset, and he glared at this guy who was neither big nor small.
"Yeah, I'm going to take advantage of you and kick you out from the power level of Infinite Energy Company." After speaking, he laughed again, not shying away from his own thoughts.
"Then I'm relieved." Griffin heaved a sigh of relief, showing a mouthful of neat white teeth.
Volume 269.6: [-] I will not accept this
After all, I have said it, so I don't think I would do it.
"Then have you thought of a reason?"
"It just so happens that the annual leave is not yet used." Griffin, who is basically on vacation every day, now pays more attention to the rest day, but she quickly gave an excuse that is more reasonable than the annual leave. "Speaking of which, I was invited to the coronation of the King of England. I wondered if this was the best excuse?"
"Perfect, so you can just avoid this period of time." Howard very much agreed with this reason, thinking that the time for the coronation of Her Majesty the Queen was really just right, which would just allow Griffin to jump out of the vortex of public opinion.Presumably their relationship must be very good.
"You not only have to go there with great fanfare and high profile, but also let everyone know that you and the Queen of England are best friends. It is best if you can persuade her to come forward to clarify for you, and let those who want to trouble you first weigh their abilities .”
After all, how can someone who can be friends with a federal monarch be a member of the Red Party?
Finally Howard triumphantly picked up the glass. "As for the rest of the matter, you don't have to worry about it, just let my uncle handle it."
It seems a bit optimistic to say that, this kind of thing really can't subside in a short time.
According to Griffin's own understanding, the anti-G political storm triggered by McCarthy as the main figure and eliminating dissidents will not begin to decline until next year. Even if Eisenhower is ready to end, it will not be this year.
From the current point of view, this big purge has not yet reached the time when the Z system is ready to stop.But in other words, is it also proof that it's all still under control?
"I have to act not only with great fanfare, but also in the most unique way. This is not just known by everyone." Griffin raised his head, his eyes bright and sly.Looking at her uncle, she smirked. "For Queen Elizabeth's coronation, I'll be taking Zeppelin with me."
Spending every day in the military port, my wife is almost suffocated, don't worry, let her vent.
Besides, didn't a certain fat Prime Minister always want to see Zeppelin, and he was so angry that he had a stroke.I'll take her to the UK swaggeringly and get mixed into the Royal Navy, and I'll see if you can still recognize her.
Howard froze for a moment, then slapped the table on the spot, ignored the strange gazes of the people around him, and gave the girl a thumbs up.
"If I were you, I would definitely do the same."
This child's arrogant appearance really resembles him, and he appreciates it more and more.
So on the second day after returning to S.H.I.E.L.D., Griffin officially stated her position in public. Recently, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents have performed very well in maintaining the stability of the earth. She decided to give employees two weeks of paid leave.
Afterwards, the director naturally talked about another major event that was about to happen in the UK. A certain young and beautiful Her Majesty the Queen decided to invite her to watch the coronation ceremony. Griffin, who was also fair and beautiful, could not bear to refuse the Queen's invitation With good intentions, I finally officially responded two months after the invitation was sent and decided to go.
Although this response came a bit late, it brought a lot of attention.Because Griffin decided to drive away with a certain aircraft carrier parked in the port area to celebrate the queen's coronation.
