There are Hydra branches that don't proactively cause trouble, only wanting to focus on their own research, and are hidden even deeper."
"Of course, there are also Hydra branches that want to dominate the world and eliminate all opposition."
"How do you distinguish between these Hydra branches?"
"Jarvis is indeed advanced, but when those lurking Hydra agents remain inactive for decades, even until their death, how will you dig them out?"
"Furthermore, apart from Hydra, your corporation has countless agents from SHIELD, MI6, CIA, FBI, and so on!"
"How long do you plan to keep cleaning them out?"
Qi Jun looked at Tony Stark with a half-smile.
At this moment, Tony Stark was completely enraged, and he no longer paid attention to Qi Jun's 'looking at an idiot' gaze... "Fuck!"
"Fuck!"
"What do they want?"
"Do they think Stark Industries is some kind of public square where anyone can just walk in?"
A bewildered Tony Stark, while listening to Qi Jun as if he were telling a myth, also authorized Jarvis to thoroughly investigate the entire Stark Industries from top to bottom.
The investigation revealed something shocking, making Tony Stark's eyes nearly pop out.
According to the data displayed by Jarvis, almost 60% of Stark Industries employees had suspicious contact with suspected intelligence agency personnel, including some middle management, and even one senior manager!
And according to Qi Jun, some agents, or intelligence personnel, might never be activated once in their lifetime.
From this, it can be inferred that at least 70% of the personnel within Stark Industries were either infiltrated or were infiltrators themselves!
What was this?
Was it a sieve?
This situation was even after the abandonment of the weapon manufacturing division.
If they were still developing weapons, wouldn't the entire profit-making department of Stark Industries be filled with people planted by other intelligence organizations or various chaotic groups?
Tony Stark looked at the piles of data and almost fainted again...
Watching Tony Stark's furious expression, Qi Jun's lips curled into a slight smile.
Would Qi Jun tell Stark that many of these infiltrators into Stark Industries came after he revealed himself as Iron Man?
Clearly, Qi Jun wouldn't say!
Let Tony Stark get angry on his own!
Such opportunities to watch a show don't come often!
In fact, did you think Qi Jun was genuinely being kind by telling Tony Stark all this?
Was he simply curious to see Tony Stark and Hydra clash?
..."You already know the origin of Hydra, so I won't say more."
"For more intelligence, pay the price!"
"Oh, right, I forgot to mention, the Winter Soldier Bucky belongs to a lurking Hydra branch that wants to eliminate everyone who threatens Hydra!"
"Now, let me tell you the answer to your last question."
"Wha~t~the~f*ck?!"
What kind of sudden twist is this? Tony Stark glared angrily at Qi Jun.
Who stops talking right at the climax like that?
However, Qi Jun completely ignored Tony Stark's gaze.
No choice, because I'm strong.
In this world, ultimately, whoever has the bigger fist is the boss!
Qi Jun suddenly started to like this 'kill but don't bury' style.
"SHIELD."
"It's an acronym for an organization."
"Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division."
Looking at the suddenly bewildered Tony Stark, Qi Jun chuckled.
"That's its current name, long and cumbersome, I'm sure you've already encountered it!"
"SHIELD is my abbreviation for it."
Qi Jun shamelessly appropriated it for his own use.
However, it was perfect because SHIELD was still using that long and cumbersome name at this time.
If you don't show off when you have the chance, it'll expire and go to waste.
Chapter 59: You're very smart, Tony!
"The predecessor of SHIELD originated from the S.S.R. Strategic Scientific Reserve during World War II."
"It was later renamed 'Strategic Hazard Intervention, Espionage and Logistics Directorate.'"
"Finally, it was renamed 'Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division.'"
"I abbreviate it as—SHIELD!"
"And your father, Howard Stark, was one of its founders!"
Ignoring Tony Stark's surprised eyes, yet feigning an expression that he had already guessed it.
Qi Jun stood from a neutral perspective, trying to objectively tell Tony Stark what he wanted to know.
