No matter what kind of disputes and confrontations Victoria Hand and Stephanie Malik, two women of similar age, had in the past due to their different positions, no matter what the personal wishes and preferences of them and their staff were, internal affairs under the emperor's orders Departments and defense intelligence must cooperate with each other.
Now there is no difference between Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D., only the Latvian Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Emperor's War Council, which were brought about by the reorganization of the two organizations that the Emperor personally rescued after Alexander Pierce's rebellion. A new identity. To forget this identity is to negate the oath of allegiance.
After the destruction of S.H.I.E.L.D., almost all surviving loyal S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were subjected to strict scrutiny by the U.S. government.
Every year, Congress approves a large budget for S.H.I.E.L.D., and the Pentagon also allows S.H.I.E.L.D. to use many U.S. military facilities, making Americans the majority in this United Nations Security Council organization, making it an indispensable force in many Security Council resolutions. strength.
This is not something worthy of praise, and no one knows how much dirty information SHIELD has in its hands with such authority. This is not something to be used for.
The "Clinton family death list" can be wiped out by low-level tactics such as dealing with reporters, so strict scrutiny and questioning are essential.
The reason why those unlucky S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who were targeted by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the FBI were able to escape lifelong surveillance and escape from prisons where they would 100% commit suicide once imprisoned was because the Emperor used forged death certificates, disappearance certificates, medical parole, etc. Only by using various means did they change their names and regain freedom with their families.
Nick Fury has always regarded himself as the manipulator behind S.H.I.E.L.D., which is why he has ended up in this uncertain fate.
This is a theory circulated among former S.H.I.E.L.D. civilian personnel, and there is no substantial evidence. Agents from the loyal faction of SHIELD in the Defense Intelligence Department were completely unaware of the arrangement between the Emperor and their superiors. In addition, not long ago, they heard that Maria Hill, the intelligence adjutant of the Advocate of the Advocates, was publicly arrested in Latvinia. Rumors spread for a while.
Victoria Hand simply stated that the matter was confidential and no one else had a right to know, and then allowed the rumors to continue to spread.
As an intelligence department capable of commanding the First Secret Regiment, an organization established according to the emperor's standards naturally has many levels and secret systems, which are much stricter than the confidentiality system established by Nick Fury. Everyone can only know a little bit. The truth is mixed with lies, and only those at the top can know all the secrets.
No one would be stupid enough to betray the emperor, not to mention that their current boss is Victoria Hand, who is known for her harshness and cold-bloodedness. She can sacrifice a special operations team on a mission without blinking an eye, just for the sake of Calm down the situation and erase the traces.
Agent Phil Coulson was quite disgusted with this pre-SHIELD secrecy-style way of doing things, so the chaotic management system in the post-SHIELD era caused a lot of trouble. The intelligence organization controlled by Victoria Hand continued the secrecy system. With strict discipline, any behavior that touches the bottom line will not face the kind of affectionate and leeway internal review in the past.
Stephanie Malik sat in the passenger seat and quietly opened the window a crack. The cold wind of the night blew in like a knife, blowing away the hot air scented with shower gel on the emperor's body. Stephanie tilted her head and leaned against the car window, looking at the slowly passing lights outside the window.
"Have you ever predicted my death?" she said suddenly,
"If I'm not wrong, you should have done fortune-telling. Right?"
"Yes." The emperor responded calmly. His body almost fills the entire driver's seat, and his voice is as heavy as a dark cloud. This is not a grand statement, but it just shows that it is difficult for a two-meter-tall man to sit in a conventional car.
"I saw your first death."
"Can a person realistically die many times?"
"If your father is stubborn and wants to pursue the family legend, the Malik family will perish." The car passed two traffic lights, and the emperor still told the cruel truth in a calm tone,
"Ancestor of Hydra, the Inhuman slave master of the Kree. That creature will kill you because it wants the Maliks to surrender. Now that monster can never return, so you escape the first death. "The ancient religion of Hydra was the first thing to be destroyed after the Emperor's arrival.
When Gideon Malik set out to regain all the conservative Hydras, all the families who believed in Hydra witnessed the death of the ancient gods in the family mythology. The Kree slave knelt down like a lingering stray dog. At the emperor's feet.
The conservative Hydra family naturally declared that Hydra was a false god, abandoned their faith and followed the emperor. However, the emperor knew very well that the conservative Hydra family did not believe in Hydra at all. They just wanted to follow the strong. .
"What about the second death?" Seeing that the emperor did not answer for a long time, and the car drove to the Whitestone Bridge and was about to enter Manhattan, Stephanie Malick turned to another topic.
"Father wants me to use RUSh on you. The medicine is in the glove box."
"I know, but you have already made your decision." The man blinked.
"That medicine won't work on me."
"But he doesn't know, he always thought you were human." Stephanie Malik deliberately raised her voice, trying to emphasize her subtext.
"His ambition is great and untamable. I know him as well as I know Hydra. But I still know nothing about you. My lord, Hydra cannot contain your ambition, and neither can Latovinia." No, then is this planet enough?" she said,
"Ambition will turn people into monsters. Have you thought about when you should stop?" The temperature inside the car dropped sharply due to the cold air outside the window, and the warm air blown by the air conditioner made a weak whirring sound.
Without the golden power armor and the gleaming holy sword, the gorgeous laurel crown and the divine horse, he would only look taller and stronger than ordinary people.
"I've thought about it, and I hope that day can come sooner. But I know very well that there won't be many people in the world who really understand me at that time." The man sighed, and then raised his eyebrows as if nothing had happened. It’s just as easy to tell which restaurant you want to go to for your next meal.
"This is the pain of eternal life. This ideal will also be the driving force for me to live. Looking for an eternal career is the only way for all immortals. Now the Supreme Mage has given this reason to live. I, so I must find a good ending for His Holiness. I need your help, Stephanie, so that you will get what you want in the future.”
"Is this also a prophecy?"
"Yes and no." The emperor nodded.
"Hydra will continue, but it can only be my Hydra." Stephanie Malik, the thinker, was stunned for two seconds. She felt that the emperor's subtext was very close to what she was thinking.
She quickly turned sideways so that the seat belt tightened around her body.
"So, the Malik family's goals can be achieved even without the use of drugs?" she said.
"Are you serious?"
"Yes, I will trust my Hydra as much as I trust you," he said.
"I will give this Hydra a goal, which is to maintain the empire I built by any means. I believe that Hydra that has abandoned personal ambitions in the future will be able to accomplish its goals."
"That requires a very dedicated education," said Stephanie Malik.
"I have a degree in education." The emperor glanced at her, wondering if Stephanie understood something wrong.
"No, I will educate myself," he said.
"The Hydra of the future is not an ordinary human being, but an immortal like me."
