However, Simmons immediately reacted. He looked at Chen Mo with a face full of shock as he asked doubtfully.
"Deputy Chief!"
"That's right."
Chen Mo nodded and looked at Simmons as he spoke slowly.
"I still have other things to do, so I'll be leaving soon. I'll leave this base to you. I'll leave the Autobots here to help you. While I'm gone, you'll be in charge of S.h.e.l.d.."
When he heard that Chen Mo was going to leave, Simmons' heart skipped a beat. When he heard that Chen Mo would leave all the Autobots behind to help him, Simmons couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the group of mighty steel giants not far away. His heart finally calmed down.
Decepticons were not easy to deal with. Without the help of powerful warriors who could fight them head-on, ordinary human soldiers would have a hard time dealing with them.
With the help of the Autobots, things would be different. Simmons believed that under his overall command and the assistance of a team of elite soldiers, they would be able to easily eliminate the small groups of Decepticons. They would be able to eliminate all the Decepticons hiding in every corner of Earth.
Simmons was also very happy to be the deputy director of S.H.E.L.D..
Although he wasn't a fan of politics, Simmons was still very happy to have a higher status and power.
Although he was still the second in command, the deputy director of S.H.E.L.D. was completely different from the person in charge of the field department in Region 7.
Not to mention the huge difference in power between the two organizations, Simmons' previous identity as the number two person in Division7 was actually an exaggeration.
As a small secret organization whose main mission was to research the AllSpark and the Megatron, Tom Bannatchek, the person in charge and the head of the research department, held the most authority.
As for Simmons, he was actually on the same level as the other intelligence, logistics, and other department heads.
However, because the field department he was in charge of was a powerful department, he had the most authority and power. Coupled with his tough style, he was able to suppress the other department heads and become the number two person in Division7.
But in the end, when District 7 was disbanded, only Tom Bannatchek received a new arrangement. He, the second-in-command, was mercilessly kicked out like all the other low-level staff members.
Now, Simmons was the deputy director of S.H.E.L.D., the number two person under Chen Mo. When Chen Mo wasn't around, he was in charge of the entire S.H.E.L.D..
He didn't have to worry about being kicked out of the office.
Just as Simmons was imagining the future where he would command his subordinates and the Autobots to encircle the Decepticons, Chen Mo's words once again pulled him back to reality.
"However, except for the Autobots, SHIELD does not have an organized armed force. You need to recruit other operations and logistics personnel by yourself and build your team from scratch."
Simmons finally realized that he was a commander without an army.
That's not right. He glanced at Optimus Prime and the other Autobots standing tall not far away. Simmons' heart calmed down again.
They were the most important force to deal with the Decepticons.
As long as they were there, the other problems were easy to solve. It was just people.
If it was any other time, it wouldn't have been easy for him to secretly gather so many people, but now that Region 7 was disbanded, his old subordinates and colleagues were all kicked out by the government. Their situation wasn't much better than Simmons'.
They suddenly lost their jobs, insurance, and pensions. For these Americans, who didn't have much savings, the pressure of real life made it hard for them to breathe.
This was also the reason why Simmons almost went back to his mother and became a chef in a restaurant.
When they had a job and a stable income, they could do whatever they wanted. They could devote themselves to their work and show off their patriotism. But without a job and income, survival became the first problem they had to face.
Therefore, when Simmons officially joined S.H.E.L.D. and began to secretly recruit people, his former subordinates became the first group of people to be recruited.
Originally, as a secret organization, recruiting members must have very high requirements. They also had to go through strict vetting to prevent their secrets from being leaked. Not just anyone could join.
However, the group of people that Simmons recruited were originally members of the secret organization, Region 7. They had already gone through strict vetting in terms of thinking, ability, and confidentiality. After being heartlessly abandoned by the American government, they had a deep resentment and dissatisfaction with the government. The possibility of them betraying S.H.E.L.D. and telling the American government was obviously not high.
However, just in case, J.A.R.V.I.S still carried out strict monitoring and review of this group of personnel. The final result was satisfactory, and nothing bad happened.
After the disbandment of Region 7, these former elites were in a state of grief, confusion, and helplessness. When they were recruited by Simmons, no one hesitated and they all chose to join S.H.E.L.D..
Compared to an unfamiliar and ordinary life, a job in S.H.E.L.D. was more suitable for them. Especially when they learned that there were many Decepticons hiding on Earth, their originally extinguished ambitions and lofty beliefs were reignited and pushed to greater heights than before.
Just like Simmons, the idea of protecting the Earth made each of them feel an upsurge of emotions. While they had a heavy responsibility on their shoulders, their hearts also became extremely full and full of motivation.
After the American government abandoned this group of people, they did not waste any manpower and resources to monitor them. Instead, they completely left them to their own devices. This also made Simmons' recruitment much easier.
With the help of Jarvis and the Autobots, in just a few days, dozens of agents and various logistics personnel gathered in this secret base under the abandoned factory.
Among them, other than the original members of Region 7, there were also a lot of people that Chen Mo was familiar with.
Captain William Reynolds and his elite special forces team, the genius female analyst Maggie Madson, the world's top hacker Glenn Whitman, Sam, and Michela were all recruited into S.H.E.L.D..
Needless to say, the others were all outstanding talents. They could play a huge role in S.H.E.L.D.. Sam and Michela, the two high school students who had not graduated yet, were only there to make up the numbers.
