Shazo: Defending Earth didn't get in the way of making money
After Shazo, Skye, Aldrich Killian, and Maya Hansen entered the conference room, the core members of the legion were all present.
Shazo briefed everyone on the information, including the existence of Asgard, Odin's rule over the Nine Realms, Thor's adventure on Earth, God of Mischief 'Loki attack on Thor.
Finally, he showed surveillance video of Loki attacking high society in Germany.
Norman asserted immediately, "This guy's goal isn't to launch an attack, but to deliberately show himself and lure people to capture him."
Upon seeing Loki surrender, Norman was even more certain. "So it was Stark and Captain America. I understand now; Loki was planning to attack the S.H.I.E.L.D.. base."
Doctor Octopus, a kind and gentle man, said, "Should we remind that... bureau?"
Shazo shook his head and said, "It's no use. Stark and Nick Fury are both disobedient. Captain Rogers is a bit better, but he basically has no say now."
Norman asked, "Mr. Shazo, what do you want with us?"
Shazo said, "Prepare for war."
Norman Osborn offered no objections, bowing respectfully and saying, "Your will is my mission. Osborn Industrial Group will obey your orders."
Shazo instantly sensed the Fanatics's fragrance and said with great satisfaction, "Mobilize the Swarm Drones system and gather them in the suburbs of New York City."
Norman Osborn: "Yes, Mr. Shazo!"
Shazo asked again, "How many drones can be mobilized within three days?"
Norman replied, "Sir, we can only mobilize 120,000 units within three days."
Shazo said disappointedly, "How can there be so few? I remember the import quantity should be over 3 million units."
Norman replied, "The drones were imported from the East University and are currently stored in several ports on the West Blue. Transporting them from the West Blue to the East Blue crosses several states, which is very complicated in terms of taxation and clearance procedures."
Shazo almost laughed out of anger, "Domestic transportation of United States is actually less convenient and faster than international transportation. Is United States on the verge of decline?"
"Never mind that, 120,000 units is 120,000 units. If we play it well, it will still be awe-inspiring."
ω
"Then I can sell my bee colony at a higher price and make a fortune."
Norman's eyes lit up, and he stood up excitedly to applaud. "As expected of Mr. Shazo, it was truly like divine inspiration! This time, we will not only help the United States get out of danger, but we will also make a huge profit."
Because many of the legion members present were rather innocent (foolish) and saintly (idiotic) individuals, Shazo did not voice the number he had in mind that was 50 times higher.
Therefore, Shazo was unaware that Norman Osborn's target price was 1000 times higher than the market price, and that this was only because he had deliberately lowered the price to open up new markets and re-establish connections with Commissioner Smith.
If, like Stark Industries in 2008, all the connections had already been made, from Capitol Hill to the White House, from the Pentagon to overseas military bases, then a 2000-fold price increase would be reasonable and even a bargain.
Doctor Octopus asked, "What am I supposed to do? Go to the battlefield and fight?"
The Lizard asked just as eagerly, "Can I go to the battlefield?"
On the contrary, Abomination sat quietly in his large chair, convinced that he was going to the battlefield and didn't need to ask his boss.
Shazo said to Doctor Octopus, "Otto, drones fly using electricity and require a sufficient and stable power supply. You are responsible for laying and maintaining the power system."
Doctor Octopus nodded happily. "I'll do a good job, boss!"
Shazo said to Dr. Lizard, "Professor Connors, you are responsible for protecting our base, Dr. Killian, and Dr. Maya Hansen. They are the most important core members of our legion, and absolutely nothing can happen to them."
The Lizard thumped his chest loudly. "Leave it all to me!"
Shazo looked at the two dedicated research team members. "Aldrich Killian, Hansen, you two should make sure to stockpile a batch of Extremis Virus recently." The war will inevitably cause a large number of injuries, and there will definitely be a need for limb reconstruction.
This time, it's free.
Maya Hansen's eyes lit up. As a standard liberal, she thought Shazo was a great advisor, and her eyes were practically glued to her boss.
Aldrich Killian was equally delighted, but what he was thinking about was how to find media outlets, preferably to broadcast the event live, to achieve an advertising effect that even billions of dollars in advertising fees couldn't match.
Finally Shazo said, "Abomination, Black Magic, Quake, the three of you will follow me and step onto the battlefield when necessary to fight for Earth!"
"Yes!"
Within the Shazo Legion, no one questioned Shazo's judgment and decisions, even if he offered no explanation.
However, on S.H.I.E.L.D..'s Helicarrier, the first Avengers assembled were completely disorganized, each with their own ideas and no one willing to submit to anyone else.
Nick Fury is arrogant and will scheme against anyone who doesn't listen to him.
Captain Steve Rogers has yet to find his mission and is in a period of confusion in his life, but his life creed makes it difficult for him to get along with others.
Tony Stark is an incredibly arrogant man who looks down on everyone equally.
Thor is a god, and in his eyes, the Midgardian (Earthlings) are all weak, skinny Monkey, not worth his attention at all.
Well, except for one particular female Monkey.
Black Widow Natasha Romanoff was disturbed by the Hydra crisis, her mind filled with an inescapable darkness, and she constantly had suicidal thoughts.
Even the Gwen Stacy Dr. Bruce Banner has his own ideas and principles, and he doesn't easily listen to other people's opinions.
They were already a disorganized mess, but then they brought back Loki, a master manipulator, who even brought the Mind Scepter with him, causing the Avengers to become frantic.
Especially Nick Fury, who has been having a lot of bad luck lately.
Loki appeared right in front of Nick Fury as soon as he stepped through a portal, and then delivered a smooth combo that left a deep impression on Nick Fury.
Nick Fury's right-hand man, Hawkeye, was betrayed by Loki and controlled by him.
Erik, the chief astronomy expert who studied the Tesseract, was also controlled and turned into the enemy's henchman.
Even the underground base, which had been invested in for billions of dollars, was completely destroyed in the explosion of the Space Stone, and the agents present suffered heavy casualties.
The base, the agents, the scientists, the confidants—all of that costs money—no, it's all the hard work of Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Nick Fury! The more Nick Fury thought about it, the angrier he became, and suddenly, in frustration, he punched the control panel hard.
Damn it, they've already captured Loki, yet they've locked him up in a special solitary the Jail.
The Mind Scepter Loki used to hypnotize people has been confiscated and is being studied by Banner and Stark in the Gamma Ray Lab. They are using the Scepter to locate the Space Stone.
Everything is going smoothly, and I have the upper hand, so why do I feel anxious?
Nick Fury couldn't understand.
He actually knew that although Loki had been captured, Hawkeye and Dr. Erik, who were under his control, had disappeared without a trace.
Dr. Erik is one thing, but Hawkeye knows far too many of S.H.I.E.L.D..'s secrets and poses a tremendous threat to the S.H.I.E.L.D..
Moreover, the troublesome and powerful Thor has also joined the Avengers, bringing with him some astonishing intelligence.
Thor said that Loki's true intention was to use the Space Stone to attract an army of aliens so that he could conquer Earth and become its king.
Despite Nick Fury's disbelief, it didn't stop him from making preparations and devising hundreds of conspiracies that would threaten him and the planet.
Even Asgard is no exception.
Under the influence of the Scepter, it wasn't just Nick Fury having wild thoughts; the ideas of others were also becoming increasingly extreme.
As we all know, being a scientist is a restless profession, and scientists can be credited with half of the Myriad Worlds- ending catastrophes.
So when Stark discovered the doubts, he immediately used his skills to uncover the secret.
While studying the Mind Scepter, Stark and Dr. Banner also hacked into the internal network of S.H.I.E.L.D..'s Helicarrier, then jumped to S.H.I.E.L.D..'s secret database.
In just a few minutes, the two uncovered a large number of shady secrets.
However, since they were United States, they laughed off topics like bribery, bribing gangsters, and smuggling scarce goods, treating them as mere bragging topics for future drinking sessions.
But when they saw S.H.I.E.L.D.. steal the power of the Space Stone and develop weapons of mass destruction, both geniuses changed their expressions.
They immediately dropped what they were doing and rushed to the command center to question Nick Fury.
Fury was well aware of the scientists' bad temper, so he could only offer vague excuses, which only aroused the extreme dissatisfaction of the two geniuses.
But Stark and Banner's questioning wasn't enough to sway Nick Fury. It wasn't until Captain Steve joined in, looking grim, and questioned Fury about why S.H.I.E.L.D.. possessed Hydra's energy weapons that the situation completely collapsed.
Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Black Widow, and the King of Spies, due to their complex relationships, split into several unpredictable factions and engaged in fierce arguments.
Of course, because Nick Fury has the worst reputation, he is usually the one targeted by everyone.
Nick Fury was attacked so fiercely that his anger surged to the heavens and erupted without restraint.
He pointed at Thor's nose and yelled, "Don't play the good guy! The current crisis on Earth is ultimately caused by you high and Asgardian!"
Thor flew into a rage, his eyes flashing as he roared, "You're talking nonsense!"
Nick Fury explained in a deep voice, "A few years ago, you came to Earth, and because of the feud between you and your brother, a small town was razed to the ground."
What are we supposed to think about this?
Thor's anger vanished instantly, and he explained with a furrowed brow, "It was an accident."
"Asgard has protected Midgard for 5000 years; we absolutely have no malicious intent."
Nick Fury scoffed, "We don't need your malice. Your arrival proves that Earth is not alone. Your civilization is far more advanced and developed than ours! Your power is incomparably greater!"
"Since you have appeared in Asgard, other extraterrestrials will surely follow. Compared to you, humanity is far too weak."
Thor said in a deep voice, "Asgard will protect Midgard, you don't need to worry!"
The Nick Fury shut him down with one sentence. "Your Asgard gods are not Eternity. Ragnarok, could happen. The gods of Asgard can die, so your stance cannot remain unchanged Eternity!"
"I was just preparing for the worst for Earth."
"That doesn't mean we should use the Tesseract to develop weapons!" Captain America still remembered Red Skull, and those warriors whose bodies were never recovered.
He simply couldn't accept using the Tesseract to develop weapons; it reminded him of Mustache.
Nick Fury, however, believed that weapons are weapons, and as long as they are in the hands of democracy and civilization (himself), they are the force that protects the earth.
Among the Avengers, some supported Captain America, while others supported Nick Fury, leading to a heated argument.
It must be said that Nick Fury's selection of the First Avengers were all outstanding individuals, top talents who excelled in their respective fields.
Each of them has their own principles and convictions, and their own logic of judgment; they cannot be persuaded by others with words alone.
A bastard like Nick Fury can't be swayed by facts or death.
Inspired by the emotions of the crowd, the Mind Stone embedded in the Mind Scepter in the Gamma Lab began to emit a faint light, and the invisible fluctuations of the Mind Stone enveloped the flying aircraft carrier.
Evil thoughts arose in everyone's hearts; negative emotions such as anger, jealousy, greed, lust, and arrogance proliferated unchecked, and people's eyes gradually became bloodshot.
Inside the command center, closest to the laboratory, the Avengers ' arguments had escalated into shoving and pushing, and they were on the verge of a physical fight.
Just as S.H.I.E.L.D.. and the Avengers were in chaos, a S.H.I.E.L.D.. transport plane was approaching the Helicarrier.
The Air Traffic Control Tower quickly discovered the problem: the transport plane had the correct registration number, but it lacked flight logs, mission codes, and landing clearance signals.
S.H.I.E.L.D.. has had another bout of trouble.
The agents had clearly detected a problem, but they overlooked the potential danger.
They automatically assumed the pilot had forgotten to send a message, and kept asking questions in an attempt to complete the landing procedure.
Even the gunnery and air defense commanders on the aircraft carrier were unaware of the danger. He even muttered to himself while sipping his coffee, "I need to write a report and punish this pilot. A transport plane flying into an attack position is incredibly unprofessional."
The next second, streaks of fire flew out of the transport plane; they were modified anti-ship missiles.
Transport plane pilot Hawkeye was incredibly professional; his choice of battle position and attack target was perfect, instantly crippling the air defense capabilities of the carrier.
The sudden explosion knocked all the Avengers off their feet.
Perhaps it was fate, but future best friends Steve and Stark ended up rolling together. Captain America reached out and pulled Stark back, preventing him from falling to his death.
Once the situation stabilized, Steve immediately advised Stark, "Go put on your armor."
"Good."
The proud Stark didn't say anything and obediently ran to his room.
At this moment, piercing alarms resounded throughout every corner of the aircraft carrier. All agents, fully armed, guarded key areas according to plan to prevent further enemy invasion.
Unfortunately, the enemy that came this time was none other than Hawkeye, who had devised a defensive plan.
He successfully bypassed the defenses and entered the command center directly.
