He was appointed as the new Commissioner of the New York Police Department by the Mayor of New York City at the beginning of this year. Because of the independence of the judicial system in different regions of the United States, the position of local police commissioner is actually a civilian position appointed by the regional executive. The correct name is police commissioner. So theoretically, as long as the background is strong enough, even if you have never been a police officer, you can become a police commissioner.

For example, the 26th president, Theodore Roosevelt, served as the Commissioner of the New York Police Department in 1895. Before that, he had only served as acting sheriff in North Dakota for six months in 1885, and had no connection with the New York Police Department system whatsoever. Apart from that, he had no police experience whatsoever.

However, in most cases, the mayor will select someone from the police system to fill the position.

But despite knowing him, Tate wouldn't give Phillips too much face, since the existence of the Strategic Scientific Corps' New York branch was itself a way of secretly diminishing Phillips' power as the New York Police Commissioner.

However, since the other party is a secret organization, Tate cannot openly suppress them without concrete evidence.

This time, Dully's arrogant behavior not only gave Tate this opportunity, but also allowed him to do a favor for Josie, a wealthy man. He can be said to have made a huge profit. How could he not be happy?

But now that Phillips has arrived in person, the time is almost right. If we really offend him too much, things will be difficult to handle. As long as the goal is achieved, that's fine.

When Phillips was taken to the detention cell by the police, a group of senior agents from the New York branch, led by Commissioner Dooley, were practically burying their heads in their pants.

However, in front of the police officers who were watching the commotion, Phillips was trembling with anger, but he still held back and silently took the stuff.

It's already embarrassing enough. If these police officers get any more involved and make a scene, the New York precinct might as well be shut down.

"Everyone, come in for a meeting!" Phillips announced as he led a group of people back to Bell Telephone headquarters, before walking into the conference room.

"Hmph, a bunch of good-for-nothings, now you know how shameful you are? Do you really think this country is some kind of chicken coop where you can run wild?" In the meeting room, after everyone had arrived, Phillips could no longer hold back and started cursing at Dully and his group.

Doolittle and the other agents kept their heads down, not daring to utter a single word.

"Now I'm announcing the new personnel appointment, Agent Susa!" Phillips looked at a young male agent in the corner. He was a very young and handsome agent, and one of the very few senior agents who were not involved in this incident.

However, you can tell from the cane next to him why he wasn't involved: he's a cripple and can't go out on fieldwork at all.

“Yes, sir!” Susa was somewhat surprised to hear Phillips call his name.

"For the next period of time, you will temporarily serve as the head of the New York branch. All of you except Doolittle receive an internal warning! As for you, Agent Doolittle, you are suspended. Pack your things and come with me to visit Mr. Kahn later. If you don't get his forgiveness, you'll be facing a military court!" Amidst the astonished and sympathetic gazes of everyone, Phillips relieved Roger Doolittle of his post and appointed Susa, who was not involved in the matter, as the interim head.

There was no other way. Although Phillips didn't want to use a cripple, the capture of Bucky was a big deal, so when Doolittle went to the Presbyterian Hospital, he brought almost all of the senior agents with him.

So much so that without Josie's forgiveness, Phillips dared not appoint a senior agent connected to the matter to take over the New York bureau.

The reason is simple: although he has bailed everyone out, the matter is far from over.

In this incident, the New York Police Department was actually just playing the role of a normal law enforcement officer.

The real turning point was with Josie.

If Josie forgives him, then nothing more will happen.

But if Josie files a lawsuit, then every single one of these agents who have been to the police station will have to go to a military court.

Stop rushing me, I'm still coding... I'll post a part first, more to come.

Chapter 138 Godson

Although the immediate priority was to gain Josie's forgiveness and prevent the tycoon from filing a complaint, Phillips wasn't foolish enough to simply bring Doolittle to her door.

After all, Phillips had no connection with this once-powerful European tycoon.

Upon closer examination, there might be a contradiction – when the Nightlight Potion was stolen, he had sent military police and Carter to arrest and investigate the perpetrators.

Therefore, it would be best to have a middleman if you want to gain the tycoon's forgiveness.

Peggy Carter was originally the most suitable person to act as an intermediary, but when Phillips arrived in New York, he had already visited Peggy Carter and knew that the female agent was seriously injured.

If the other party were to act as the middleman, it would only add fuel to the fire.

So we have to find someone else.

But after much deliberation, Phillips could only come up with two options.

One of them is Howard Stark, who is also a business tycoon.

However, the idea only flashed through Phillips' mind for three seconds before he dismissed it.

Unfortunately, although he is a business tycoon and a super inventor, and has many fans in the United States, most of his fans are ordinary people.

But in the world of the wealthy, Howard's reputation is rather poor.

Especially the falling out between him and Hugh Jones of Roxon a few months ago. Others might not know, but Phillips, as the head of the intelligence department and Howard's long-time partner, knew some of the inside story.

I heard that Josh Kahn's fiancée is also a stunning beauty.

If it were because of him, and Howard, that teddy bear, did something outrageous, Phillips was genuinely afraid that one day Josie would bring people from the Army to block his door—Phillips, being a fellow military insider, knew all too well how close Josie's relationship with the Army was.

In that case, he only has one candidate left.

That is Major General William Ross, who is currently on leave at home.

Yes, it was Josh's old friend.

As the European army began to be demobilized, Major General William Ross, as one of the first front-line generals to participate in the war, was also given the opportunity to take leave.

However, the real reason he got leave was because his wife was pregnant.

William Ross's wife was not American, but Bavarian.

William Ross was married before entering the European war, but he was divorced.

So during the European competitions, Rose was an old bachelor.

His current wife is someone he met in Bavaria during his return to Operation Eagle's Nest; she was only 18 years old...

Moreover, this old man did a very good job of keeping it a secret; apart from a few of his close confidants, no one else discovered it.

It wasn't until a month after Josie went to Europe at the beginning of the year that he finally got a break and took his young wife back to the United States to get married.

Then, just a few days after the wedding, he discovered that his young wife was pregnant.

The result is that it's already July, and Rose is still on vacation.

However, the military is now happy to grant leave because of the large-scale downsizing, there are too many officers and generals at all levels. In particular, it is difficult to arrange the whereabouts of generals, and they cannot be retired or dismissed at will. Therefore, the Pentagon is also eager for them to take more leave.

Although Phillips and Ross were not particularly close, they had at least cooperated against each other before.

So they immediately took Doolittle to Ross's home on Long Island.

Ross was quite surprised to hear the maid report Phillips's visit and couldn't help but look at the guest opposite him—coincidentally, this guest was none other than Josie, whom Phillips was looking for.

"Josh, what do you think?" Ross asked Josh hesitantly, seeking her opinion on whether or not to meet the other party.

Given Josh's relationship with Ross, it would be unreasonable for him to come to New York and not pay a visit, especially since Ross's wife was pregnant. He should at least send a gift, especially since Ross's wife was, to some extent, someone from Josh's hometown.

During his visit, a minor mishap occurred.

That is, at Ross's invitation, Josie became the godfather of Ross's unborn child.

At first, Josie was a little hesitant about becoming the child's godfather.

However, after learning the name Ross had chosen for the child, Josie agreed without hesitation.

Because this child's name is Thaddeus E. Ross... that's right, the future father-in-law of the Hulk, the Red Hulk in the comics, the Secretary of Defense in the Avengers movie universe, the famous General Ross.

Goodness, Josie immediately felt that her drawing style was getting weirder and weirder.

Reborn as Red Hulk's Godfather?

Reborn as the Godfather of the Hulk's Father-in-Law?

It sounds weird, but why is it strangely catchy?

Although General Ross mostly appears as a semi-villain in the Marvel series, it has to be said that he still has a lot of influence. Despite causing such a big incident, his official position has continued to rise, which means he has a very strong backing.

Huh? Wait a minute, if I become this guy's godfather, then this incredibly powerful backer is me, isn't he? Josie realized this belatedly.

Well, regardless of whether this will actually happen, it's a good omen, isn't it?

So I agreed.

William Ross and his young wife were overjoyed to hear that Josie was willing to be the child's godfather.

William Ross is actually quite old; he's almost fifty.

In peacetime, becoming a major general at the age of fifty is a very impressive thing.

However, during wartime, there were plenty of generals under the age of fifty.

For example, the famous barbecue master General Li Mei, born in 06, is only 39 years old now, and he is already on par with William Ross.

For example, Ridgway is the same age as William Ross this year, but he has been a lieutenant general for two years.

In comparison, although William Ross had achieved considerable military exploits, his potential for advancement was actually quite limited compared to those brilliant generals.

If you live long enough, you might even be able to earn a generalship by accumulating seniority.

Otherwise, he would probably reach the rank of lieutenant general.

However, if they could get some special support, the situation might be different.

And it's clear that if his relationship with Josie could take things a step further, the benefits to him would be immense.

Moreover, when his children grow up, whether they join the military like him or pursue other industries, having a godfather like Josie will be a significant advantage.

"Hehe, this is a good thing. Phillips has been able to firmly hold his position as the leader of the Strategic Scientific Corps because he has a very strong network of connections. Doing him a favor will benefit you!" Although Josie's main purpose in deliberately manipulating the Strategic Scientific Corps branch this time was Carter, the future head of S.H.I.E.L.D., and meeting Phillips at William Ross's house was purely coincidental, he had no reason not to take advantage of such an opportunity, right?

Chapter 139 WAA

When Phillips saw Josie sitting opposite Ross in the Ross family's yard, he was dumbfounded.
