The Punisher's identity was revealed, just as Kai expected. In front of the state machine, it is basically impossible for superheroes to truly hide their identities. Not everyone has Kai's ability to be able to clone himself.
Among them, the murder of the 'Blacksmith' is the biggest flaw. Ray Schoonover was Frank's boss.
At the same time, Ray also has another identity - an expert who performs secret missions and does dirty work for several agencies around the world. Once a team member dies during a secret mission, they are considered mercenaries and have nothing to do with the United States. Therefore, Ray has many privileges in the US military. For example, records of his and his team's movements and transportation are mostly in the hands of a few people. Many of the things they take out or bring into the United States are quite sensitive and will basically not be recorded by the military.
With such a convenient channel, Lei has been exposed to those dirty jobs for a long time, so he will naturally not let this advantage go. Most other people selling drugs have to go through very cumbersome means. After all, if they are lost, the losses will be too great. But Ray had no such concerns.
During the Vietnam War, American drug lords used the coffins of fallen soldiers to transport drugs. This is already shocking. But when it comes to Lei, others are arrogantly using military planes to transport tons of poison! The journey is smooth, and he can even land at any US military base in any country, and no one will check his transportation. Even the gas money is reimbursed by the US government, so transportation is almost cost-free.
As a black glove who specializes in doing dirty work, most of the areas Lei went to were war-torn areas, and these places were often accompanied by the proliferation of drugs. It was not easy for him to get the supply of goods, and even many supply sources did not require him to pay. Just regard those drug lords as mission targets, kill them directly, and steal the goods.
In this way, Lei's cost was incredibly low, so he began dumping drugs in large quantities at the price that other drug lords would vomit blood. What's even more exaggerated is that even if other drug lords are unhappy with this, they can't do anything to him.
Do you want to say that the big shots who direct him don't know about his business?
How can it be!
Without the acquiescence of those people, Lei would have been sacrificed long ago.
But no one made any remarks about this. Instead, they condoned it from the side and even offered some convenience. After all, a black-hearted subordinate who likes to make money is more useful than a loyal and patriotic soldier. If something goes wrong one day, just clean it up and take away the money he earned.
So as long as Lei doesn't have any problems, his business can continue.
But the problem lies with Frank. Naturally, it is impossible for Ray to let Frank actively participate in this kind of private business. Because Frank had a strong resistance to selling illegal drugs, he never hesitated to kill dealers. Ray couldn't guarantee that Frank really didn't know anything about it.
It's not that he didn't think about wooing Frank, but unfortunately, Frank was unmoved (Frank never thought about it at all, after all, the CIA did more than that. Even if he saw it, Frank would only think that it was requested by the people above). This made Lei, who had a lot of bad debts under his butt, suspicious.
Until Frank was about to retire two years ago, Ray could no longer control his external communications. If he was not careful, someone would try to get information from Frank to bring him down. Although Frank doesn't know about the "private business", it is very likely that he will leak some sensitive information.
As Lei's business grew, he became more suspicious. Lei chose to silence himself.
Everyone knows what happened next.
Not many people know these things, but those behind Ray Schoonover definitely do! So it is not difficult for the people above to get Frank's true identity.
So when they put forward this condition, they obviously wanted to use Frank's criminal record as a bargaining chip.
Kai doesn't think there's anything wrong with this.
It's just for training new recruits. You can erase your previous criminal record and you can live a normal life in the future.
Very worthwhile.
"You can go over. I will say hello. After this incident, all your files will be erased, and you will be a normal person from now on."
Frank's face was dull, with no special expression.
He was willing to help because of Marvin's favor. As for the criminal record, he didn't care much about it. After he made the decision, he had corresponding awareness.
"Okay, as long as Marvin isn't being coerced, I'll be fine."
After speaking, Frank left very gracefully.
The two of them are not friends in the ordinary sense. In fact, the time they really get along is very short. If I really want to describe it, it should be the type of people who cherish each other, so forget about those things that are available and not available. Everyone does whatever makes them feel comfortable.
Watching Frank leave, I somehow felt a bad feeling in my heart.
To be honest, Frank has never been a good person. He can even be said to be a walking troublemaker. Wherever he goes, trouble is bound to happen.
"I hope I'm overthinking it." Kai shook his head and stopped paying attention to this matter. He also went to the inner earth world with Tony.
The inner earth world is an unexplored virgin land. It contains resources that are unmatched by the entire surface world. As long as they are used properly, the earth can reach a higher level in a short time. After all, no one knows what will happen in the future, so some preparations must be made.
…
Frank soon came to Washington and met his old friend Marvin.
When Frank saw Marvin, he almost didn't recognize his old friend. This guy just seems like a different person.
Marvin's previous state, how should I put it, was like a drug addict, nervous every day, let alone appearance and so on. What's more important is that psychological problems have seriously affected his physiology, making him in a very bad state. Look It's as if he could pull it out at any time.
Now Marvin is not only glowing, but also dressed like a dog.
"Marvin... I remember you said you would no longer work for the government? What is the situation now?"
"Hey, don't say it. I can only say that I make bad friends. The people I know are all troublesome guys." After saying that, he took Frank to the interior of the Pentagon.
Soon they walked into an office where someone was already waiting.
One of the bald men saw Frank walking in. He immediately stood up and walked over generously: "You are the other troublesome Frank that Marvin said, right?"
Judging from his age, the bald man is much older than Frank, at least in his fifties. He is well-dressed and looks like a pampered middle-class person. But judging from his demeanor and movements, he is very well-maintained and has a strong body. , The movements are neat and it seems that the strength is not weak. He has a very pleasant face, and even if he is silent, there will be a slight smile on his face. He looks like a kind, gentle, and well-muscled warm man.
Frank is not a person who likes to make friends, especially after the death of his family, he has basically completely closed himself off. He looked at Marvin.
"His name is Frank, too, and he's just as troublesome as you. His name is Frank Moses, and I used to be colleagues in the CIA. You can call him 'Church.'"
Frank Moses, or rather the church. He can be considered a legendary CIA agent. He also currently holds the record for the most tasks completed. His code name is the idol of all field agents in the CIA. In the eyes of many CIA members, even though Jason Berger and Ethan Hunt, the two strongest active agents in the CIA, are very powerful, compared to 'Church', they are still There are some shortcomings.
“It’s because of him that I came back to serve in government.”
As he spoke, Marvin told Frank what he had experienced before without reservation.
Things have to start with retirement from the 'church'.
The most active and legendary era of the "Church" in the CIA was actually the 1970s when the United States and the Soviet Union were competing for hegemony. This guy was an enemy of the KGB, and even dated the other party's female agent. Although both of them had their own agendas, this experience was still legendary.
Yes, the church is much older than it looks. You are an old man in your sixties and almost seventies. But there is no hint of it from the outside.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, he disappeared internationally. But instead of retiring, he began to return to the CIA and became a 'scavenger'.
It's not a good reputation.
Because he needs to solve the "negative assets" within the CIA that are unnecessary or become problems.
To put it simply, he is an executioner who specializes in dealing with insiders.
Those who died at his hands included dictators and corrupt officials supported by the CIA, as well as CIA's own people.
There were even some things that the CIA didn't want to make public, but he cleaned them up. It was also at that time that Marvin became a member of his squad.
They know too much.
After the church retired and gradually faded away from people's sight, the CIA also launched a cleanup process for the church and Marvin. As long as they all disappeared, the CIA's bad things would disappear completely. No one will be able to find out anymore.
Of course, it was mainly aimed at the church, after all, Marvin had gone crazy.
Well, this is also the work of the CIA. At that time, Marvin withdrew because he knew too much and his position was not firm.
In order to shut up Marvin, the CIA spared no effort in giving Marvin hallucinogens for more than ten years, destroying Marvin's mind and body.
But the CIA people obviously underestimated the church. Even though he was already in his sixties, his skills were still intact and they let him run away. Then he found Marvin and discovered the secret of Marvin's mental illness. Then there was nothing more to say, just fight back to save your life.
As a senior agent, Church knows all too well what will happen if someone knows too much. His loyalty to the country cannot be overstated, but it does not mean that he will be caught without mercy. He naturally has ways to deal with it.
He found the FBI.
Sold the CIA.
The CIA is very powerful. It is the most senior intelligence agency in the United States, and its power is deeply intertwined. If you expect this kind of organization to be able to act according to the rules, you are simply overthinking it.
According to regulations, the CIA has no law enforcement authority in the United States.
But can the CIA really give up its influence in the United States?
cannot!
So what kind of things the CIA does in the local area will have the greatest impact?
Of course it’s the FBI!
The FBI used to be very arrogant, but to the extent that it was so arrogant, there was nothing anyone could do about it that Edgar Hoover and his FBI could do anything about. Edgar Hoover served as FBI director for more than twenty years!
But once Edgar Hoover died, the FBI was in dire straits, and his power and influence were divided among huge institutions. It’s no longer grand.
A super organization like the FBI has its own interests, which have nothing to do with who is the director. Whoever becomes the director will be pushed by the entire organization.
If the FBI wants to regain its former glory, it must wrest its power back from other agencies.
What the church gave to the FBI was just right, allowing the FBI to force the CIA to make concessions.
And the church also escaped pursuit.
After all, if only the church knows those secrets, then the church must die, because as long as he dies, everything will be over. But the question is, now that the FBI knows about it, can the CIA kill them all?
The first thing to make clear here is that the CIA has no personal hatred towards the church. Even if they wanted him dead.
What drives the CIA to do what it does is only profit.
Now that this is the case, let's waste manpower and material resources to kill the FBI special adviser... unless the CIA's top brass are all reckless.
Of course, don’t think about the CIA giving the church a good look in the future.
I asked you to die, but you didn't die.
Not loyal!
After hearing this, Frank looked at his senior with the same name in surprise, not knowing whether to admire or sympathize. Being betrayed by the organization he has worked for for many years is definitely not a good feeling, but he was able to directly overthrow the CIA on his own. This strength is definitely worthy of admiration.
"Hey, let's not mention it. Now I can only run out and work for the FBI. I won't talk about the past."
For a legendary agent like Church, the FBI cannot really leave him alone. If nothing else, his experience alone is a valuable asset.
And this legendary agent still has gas in the tank, so don’t waste it.
The CIA suffered a big setback this time. Not only was it suppressed by the FBI, it was forced to give up its benefits to settle the FBI, and it also pushed its legendary agent to the FBI.
Based on this alone, the FBI would close the church.
Don’t think that the relationship between the several super agencies in the United States is so harmonious. As I said before, Congress only appropriates so much money. If you get more, I will get less. They must fight.
These are all things for later, and soon the church introduced Frank's 'students' to Frank.
When Frank saw a blue-haired savage, a nerd in a wheelchair, a delinquent, an otaku and a skinny black guy.
Even though he was mentally prepared, he still felt ridiculous.
"them……"
Marvin looked at his comrades expectantly.
"I……"
People from the FBI and the Pentagon also looked at Frank expectantly.
"Are you kidding me?"
Frank said with an ugly face: "How do they look like soldiers?"
"Doesn't this allow you to turn him into a warrior?" Marvin also knew that it was a bit excessive, but he believed that Frank had a way. Frank is not only a military king himself, but also a master tactician. He can design the most suitable tactics for them based on their characteristics. Let’s get the best out of them: “None of them are ordinary people.”
"Ha, of course I know they are not ordinary people, but the problem is, they can't be warriors!"
