As we all know, no matter how powerful an individual is, he cannot compete with collectives and organizations.
Unless this person is like Allen, who has the power to destroy the world easily.
But Quake, who has not yet awakened his ability, is obviously not within this category.
Soon, under Coulson's professional coercion and inducement, Skye took the initiative to choose to be a "hero" who understands current affairs.
no way!
Mind Control Pocket Watch, just by hearing the name, you know that this thing is quite dangerous.
She wasn't even sure if this control was permanent and irreversible.
If that were the case, for her who was extremely anti-government and advocated personal freedom in her heart, she might as well just die.
But the problem is that Skye himself knows nothing about his life experience.
So after the interrogation ended, Coulson did not get any useful information. He sat alone in front of the airplane bar, touched his hairline that had receded two millimeters, and sighed deeply, "Alas——"
"Sir, do you think she really told the whole truth?" A young male agent asked cautiously.
"Yeah! Yes. At least in terms of life experience, I don't think she is hiding anything." Coulson nodded without thinking.
Because of this, he realized how troubled this young girl of unknown origin was.
First of all, Allen identified it as some kind of "interesting" ability that the carrier has not yet awakened, so there is no doubt about the degree of danger.
Secondly, including the birth record and who the biological parents are, everything is blank. Even S.H.I.E.L.D. cannot find any useful information.
Finally, according to Allen, this is a living 084, but why can't the record be found?
In Skye, the experienced Coulson has discovered too many mysteries and doubts, and now he has no idea how to deal with them.
Just when he was hesitating whether to continue to detain or release the person first, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
Without any time to think about it, Coulson quickly took out his phone and pressed the answer button.
moment!
The familiar voice of Director Egghead immediately came through the receiver.
"Coulson, I heard that you arrested someone at the door of Wonderful House, and you are still inquiring about her life experience? Tell me, what is all this about?"
"Director, it's like this..."
Coulson hurriedly repeated what happened exactly, not even letting go of the doubtful points that arose during the interrogation.
After explaining all this, Nick Fury on the other side of the phone suddenly fell silent.
After about a minute or two, he took a deep breath and said, "I will take the time to help you investigate this matter. But don't hold out too much hope! After all, this matter happened a long time ago. I had just taken over as director at that time, and many things were not clear. Moreover, my current situation is a bit embarrassing. Someone is watching every move I make, so I can't do whatever I want like before."
"What should I do with this girl now? Let her go?" Coulson asked in an uncertain tone.
"You can choose to let her go, detain her, or invite her to join S.H.I.E.L.D.. In short, try not to let too many people know the inside story. I trust your judgment."
After saying this, Nick Fury hung up the phone decisively.
Because he doesn't dare to make phone calls for more than one minute now, otherwise he will be monitored by a special investigation team immediately.
There is no way, who made Director Egghead do too many tricks without telling National Security Council over the years.
Not to mention anything else, the total amount of unaccounted funds alone exceeds 35 billion US dollars.
That's right!
Not thirty-five million!
Neither is it, nor is it 350 million!
Not even 3.5 billion!
But a total of 35 billion!
As the saying goes, you won't know if you don't check, but you will be shocked if you check.
Although he did not put a penny of this money into his own pocket, but established countless unknown Secret Base around the world.
But for International Security Council, this is absolutely an out-and-out betrayal and scandal.
What's even more funny is that Nick Fury can't defend himself, let alone publish these Secret Base, otherwise it will lose its meaning.
All you can do is pretend "I have been wronged" and let the other party investigate your personal accounts around the world.
In the absence of concrete evidence of corruption, although International Security Council could not directly remove him as director, he played the game of checks and balances and decentralization of power.
Among them, Hydra Leader Alexander Pierce, who was secretly promoting everything, is now responsible for and took over the work.
Maria Sil, who also performed well in Battle of New York, also gained almost one-third of the power that originally belonged to the director.
As for Director Egghead himself, he feels as uncomfortable as he wants now.
Even some ongoing investigations and plans were forced to come to an end.
Whenever he thinks of these, Nick Fury can't help but shout "Majafaq" in his heart to vent his dissatisfaction and anger.
But unfortunately, he can't do anything except incompetent rage.
After all, with the end of Battle of New York, several big countries that control International Security Council have begun to try to bypass S.H.I.E.L.D. and directly contact Allen and Artoria.
In the eyes of senior bureaucrats and politicians, this group of allies who have powerful power to help protect the earth but never intervene in the internal struggles of mankind is much more useful than S.H.I.E.L.D..
The reason why I relied on S.H.I.E.L.D. in the past was because there was no second option.
Now that there are better choices, S.H.I.E.L.D. naturally became the stepmother's cub.
If it weren't for the relatively valuable project Avengers, next year's budget might be cut in half.
"Oh - it's so hard for me!"
Director Egghead stood in front of the window sill and couldn't help but sigh. At the same time, looking at the list sent by Black Widow Natasha not long ago, he fell into deep contemplation.
There is no doubt that the people on this list are all suspected to be Hydra lurking inside S.H.I.E.L.D..
In fact, since learning about the existence of Hydra, similar secret investigations have not stopped for a moment.
It's a pity that the S.H.I.E.L.D. at this moment has already been penetrated into a sieve. Even if it is directly changed to Hydra S.H.I.E.L.D., there will be no big problem.
Therefore, the investigation has not been going smoothly, and most of the people found out are only two or three kittens, all of whom are insignificant little characters.
"Maybe I should think of a way to set up a trap and lure out the leader of these people."
Nick Fury made a decision after careful consideration.
But he didn't know that he was about to deal with a huge monster.
If the trap pit is not dug big enough, the giant beast will break free in an instant and trample the hunter to pieces.
After all, hunting is a mutual process, and the identities of hunter and prey are not static.
When a hunter is chasing his prey, he may also be killed by his prey.
Just when Director Egghead was conceiving the plan to lure the snake out of its hole, far away in Hammer Industries's manufacturing factory, a giant energy cannon that had just been assembled was lifted down by a crane.
Looking at the extremely exaggerated gun barrel and the experimental data given by the engineer, Alexander Pierce finally showed a satisfied smile on his face, and praised without looking back, "Great! Mr. Justin Hammer, I am very happy to see that your company can achieve technological breakthroughs in such a short period of time and provide International Security Council with brand new weapons to protect the safety of the earth and mankind."
"No! It's me who should say thank you. Without your support, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be qualified to get the Future Technology Symposium ticket, let alone compete with Stark Industries for the market now." Justin Hammer said hurriedly and modestly.
This self-proclaimed shrewd arms dealer still doesn't know that the person supporting him is actually Hydra, not International Security Council.
"Haha, it's good that you know. Remember, this order is very important to us. You must deliver the goods on time with quality and quantity guaranteed. Otherwise, there will be any difference at all Project Insight..."
Alexander Pierce deliberately drew a long note, and the threat was self-evident.
Justin·Hammer quickly assured without thinking, "Please rest assured! Even if I stop placing orders for US Military, I will give priority to ensuring that your goods are delivered on time. After all, this is related to the safety of the entire earth and mankind."
Upon hearing this, Alexander Pierce immediately nodded with satisfaction. "Very good! Take me to visit the production of the robot."
"Please go this way."
Under the leadership of Justin Hammer, the group quickly arrived at a fully automated production workshop without any workers.
Watching batches of fully automatic robots being assembled by mechanical arms, and finally stuffed into First Generation Miniaturized Nuclear Fusion Reactor, Sitwell immediately asked, "How many have been produced so far?"
"As of this morning, a total of three hundred and twenty-four units have been produced. In about a few months, we should be able to meet the minimum quantity required on the order. In fact, the fully automatic assembly line you see now has a maximum production capacity of fifty units per day. But the problem is that so far, there is only one company in the world that can produce qualified small-scale Nuclear Fusion reactors, and it is Stark Industries. But as we all know, we are competitors to some extent, so they seem to be deliberately limiting their supply to us."
As soon as Stark Industries was mentioned, Justin Hammer suddenly showed a ferocious expression of gnashing teeth.
Although the other party has completely transformed to delve deeper into the energy field, it has directly given away all the cakes in the weapons market.
But the problem is, weapons also need fucking energy!
Especially energy guns, energy cannons, and AI combat robot, which are not big energy consumers.
Although Hammer Industries also received a full set of technologies, it encountered too many unsolvable problems during the conversion process, and it was impossible to shake Stark Industries's dominance in the field of clean energy.
In desperation, I can only choose to buy, buy, buy.
But at this time, Stark Industries played the traditional entertainment "stuck" style of European and American companies, directly limiting the quantity of supply to you, and even running out of stock every now and then, seriously affecting Hammer Industries's production capacity and efficiency in making money.
"In this regard, we will send someone to say hello to Stark Industries. I believe they will take the overall situation into consideration." Alexander Pierce comforted with a smile.
"Thank you so much! It's almost morning now. If you don't mind, I'll treat you all to a casual dinner."
Justin Hammer once again used his talent in public relations and immediately winked at his young and beautiful female assistants and secretaries.
The latter understood the situation, put on charming faces, and brought these Hydra senior executives to a nearby five-star hotel.
Although it is still dark at this moment, the presidential suite here has been booked. At a glance, it is full of beauties with beautiful flowers, as well as all kinds of fine wine and delicious food.
The customer doesn't even need to move a finger, there will be a beautiful woman wearing a swimsuit or sexy lingerie feeding food and drinks into her mouth Barry.
Of course, Hydra, who has great ideals, will not be corrupted by such hedonism and beauty at all.
After having fun for a while, all the women were quickly invited out.
After the irrelevant people left completely, Alexander Pierce took a sip of champagne from the glass and announced enthusiastically, "After all Helicarrier are transformed into space battleships, we will launch Project Insight to completely conquer and occupy this world."
"Are you sure you can conquer all countries on the earth with these alone?" Sitwell said with strong doubts in his tone.
"I don't know! But it's worth taking the risk, isn't it? With the popularization of new technologies, those big countries that have obtained advanced technologies will definitely rush to develop warships that can enter space. What we have to do is to get ahead of them, take the lead in using this advantage to launch a blitzkrieg, destroy their research facilities, and force them to join the world dominated by our Hydra. And you have also seen the power of energy cannons and fully automatic combat robots. We have a great chance of winning this battle."
When he said these words, Alexander Pierce's eyes were shining with the fire of ambition.
After the automatic World War II ended, Hydra had been silent for too long, and he couldn't wait to announce his return to the world.
Likewise, he has full confidence in the new weapons being built.
Because of Battle of New York, all Hydra executives have seen the weakness of the governments of the earth, as well as the weaknesses of Avengerss.
Coupled with the promise made by Allen, it will never interfere in the internal struggles of human beings.
Alexander Pierce believes that with the magically modified version of Project Insight, he can definitely seize world hegemony in one fell swoop.
"Okay, I will inform you of this news and ask them to cooperate with you as much as possible."
Although Sitwell was skeptical about this so-called "Project Insight", he still honestly chose to cooperate.
Soon, all Hydra members lurking inside S.H.I.E.L.D. were given a secret schedule.
Project Insight——Officially launched!
