The dance ended quickly. At that time, a group of high-ranking executives, Carter, Captain America Steve, and shameless Nick Fury, who wanted to join the talks, entered a secret room inside the base and conducted a three-day meeting. hours of talks.
What exactly the group talked about, no one knows. The only time I knew was when Nick Fury left, his face was very ugly.
And he left alone.
When Nick got into his car, Agent Hill, who had been waiting for Nick in the car, immediately asked with concern: "Where are Ms. Carter and the captain?"
"They won't be with us," Nick said grimly.
Hill was stunned for a moment, then said in great surprise: "How is that possible?"
Hill heard that what Nick just said was a pun. On the surface, it means that the two legends will not leave with them, but on the other hand, it means that SHIELD and these two people are not on the same path.
It was understandable that Captain would do this. After all, at the time when Captain was active, there was no S.H.I.E.L.D. It's perfectly normal for him not to feel a sense of belonging to SHIELD. But Ms. Carter...don't forget, she founded S.H.I.E.L.D. with her own hands!
No reason.
Nick didn't speak, just sighed deeply.
Of course he knew why it was like this...Howard's case. Nick held his forehead, feeling a headache. He had heard that Ms. Tonicocutt had officially broken off. The reason is because of Howard's case. When he picked up the murder case, Nick naturally knew about it, but the case was not handed over to him at that time, but was investigated secretly by high-level officials. But a full twenty years have passed, and there is still no progress in this case... Not to mention Carter and Tony think it is too much, even Nick himself thinks there is a problem.
So what's the problem?
Nick closed his eyes and silently sorted through all the information he said he knew about the case, trying to find out what went wrong.
There is no doubt that this case now makes SHIELD very passive.
I originally thought that SHIELD would have a misunderstanding with Tony, but now it seems that the influence of this case has a long history. It gives S.H.I.E.L.D. an extra competitor!
Yes, just now, Ms. Carter and the top federal officials reached an agreement that they will form a new department under the leadership of the Pentagon to deal with more and more superpower incidents.
Even Ms. Carter hopes that the Federation can transfer Kay to her staff. The reason is simple. Kai has resources in his hands that are coveted by all parties!
He knows a lot of superheroes!
In fact, the top federal officials really considered it, but ultimately rejected it.
The reason is Captain America!
Yes, it's because of him.
There is no doubt about the influence of Captain America. If those superheroes really come under Carter's command, and with the influence of Captain America... some things are better to be careful and not let the second S.H.I.E.L.D. rise.
What's more, Kai himself represents the Federation and does not need Ms. Carter's recruitment.
Besides, Carter also promised that she would use her connections to reorganize the Howling Commandos!
The Howling Commandos, this is an extremely secretive special force formed during World War II. It was mainly led by Captain America at the time and combined with some anti-Japanese people to form a commando team. It was very active at the time. But this is only on the surface, secretly there is another Howling Commando, composed entirely of non-human creatures.
This time the commando team is specifically used to fight against Hydra and the Japanese super-powered forces.
Later this force also served S.H.I.E.L.D.
But as Carter left S.H.I.E.L.D., this force gradually broke away from S.H.I.E.L.D., and its members were distributed all over the world and were no longer active.
Now that Carter is willing to stand up and add Captain America, the possibility of reorganizing this force is very high!
With such power, senior federal officials felt that they could no longer put more weight on Ms. Carter. Having a superhero force like Kai who has no position on the outside helps balance the situation. Politicians are all about balance.
Anyway, there are many high-level officials in the federation who have a very good relationship with Kai. I'm not worried that Kai will lose control. Of course, real politicians don't believe in friendship. The main thing is that Kai's consistent approach gives them confidence.
…
Alexander Pierce soon learned of the deal between federal leaders and Carter.
This made him very angry! Even panic.
SHIELD is divided again!
Yes, that's what he thought. The realm of the supernatural has always been the exclusive domain of SHIELD and is entirely their responsibility. This is equivalent to a monopoly. Which business is the most profitable? Answer: The monopoly business is the most profitable!
It is precisely because of this monopoly that SHIELD can ask for funds and privileges! It is also because of its monopoly in this field that SHIELD can develop into other fields without any scruples, and even begins to usurp the powers of the FBI and CIA.
In short it is all based on monopoly.
Kai established a similar department in the New York Police Department, which caused a big discussion in SHIELD. It can be imagined how much SHIELD attaches importance to this aspect.
However, Kai's little action was just a small fuss, and it was impossible to affect the foundation of SHIELD.
But Carter's cooperation with the federation...
The point is that Pierce has no idea how to stop this!
protest?
Please! The federal government has clearly distrusted SHIELD! In fact, trusting or distrusting this kind of thing is not the key at all. The key is that the federation has noticed that SHIELD is too powerful. They can dig out Captain America in the Arctic and resurrect them without anyone noticing, but the federation doesn't know at all!
This is too much.
Therefore, introducing competition to balance SHIELD has become a necessary means for politicians. Let the federal government completely and unconditionally trust SHIELD?
How can it be!
They are all old people, who would do such a thing.
Anyway Pierce is pissed now.
"Nick! What is going on? Why did it happen like this?!" Pierce found Nick Fury angrily. It was rare for Pierce to express this kind of emotion towards Nick Fury, but this was really serious. SHIELD is weakened, and that also means HYDRA is weakened. And what Pierce did was justified and reasonable!
Nick Fury had long known that Pierce would come over. He did not show any excitement, but said calmly: "It doesn't matter now."
"It doesn't matter?" Pierce almost laughed out loud: "It doesn't matter, so what does it matter?"
"Find the traitor!"
Pierce's expression immediately became wonderful! what's the situation?
"What do you mean?" Fortunately, Pierce was an old silver coin and could keep his mind steady without revealing any flaws, but even so, he still had a look of surprise on his face.
"The murder of Howard Stark. We at SHIELD still haven't made any progress...Ms. Carter told me very clearly that she no longer trusts SHIELD." Nick Fury said calmly. To be honest, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it. This case... had nothing to do with him. This case has nothing to do with him.
Pierce's heart skipped a beat when he heard about Howard's case.
Damn...what's really going on today?
"I just read the files on this case and found a lot of problems. I suspect...this was not done by external forces, but by the cooperation of someone within us. Otherwise, we would not have been able to find nothing after twenty years." Nick really Quite suspicious.
Pierce was stunned for a moment and realized that this was indeed a loophole.
After all, who knows what SHIELD is capable of better than him, the former director?
Why can't S.H.I.E.L.D. find anything?
Because this matter was originally planned by him, the former director!
But Pierce couldn't show that he didn't believe it, because if it wasn't the case, it would be difficult to explain. Is it really true that there is a huge external force working against SHIELD? Stop making trouble! Such a force does not exist in the world!
Are you going to make up a fictional one?
Haha, that's more difficult. We are all smart people.
What else can be done?
Of course, just follow the instructions.
"Could it be...that a traitor really did it back then?"
"I suspect so! We can't allow this! This matter must be resolved!" Nick Fury said decisively.
Pierce was silent for a long time and nodded: "I support you!"
But the next second, Pierce said: "What about Ms. Carter and her new department...how do we deal with it?"
"We can't do anything!" This is what annoys Nick the most. He knows that the Federation is playing balance, but so what? This is a conspiracy, unless SHIELD plans to fall out with the federal government!
Otherwise it's useless to say anything.
But Pierce heard Nick's subtext. Will Nick really do nothing?
Then he's not Nick Fury!
Pierce looked at Nick thoughtfully: "Yes, we can't do anything! Nick... I hope you understand!"
Nick naturally knew that Pierce knew what he was thinking. He wasn't surprised either.
"I know."
"As long as you know."
What the two of them meant was very simple. Pierce said, you can do it, but it will definitely have nothing to do with SHIELD!
Nick replied, I am familiar with this, so don’t worry!
…
Let’s not talk about the struggle for power over there. Let’s turn our perspective to some of our alien friends.
The Asgardians lived in New York for several months, and were uncomfortable adapting at first. But in the final analysis, Asgardians are still human beings, even if their lifespans and physiques are much stronger than those of humans on Earth. But it still doesn't change the fact that they are humans. The reason is very simple. There is no reproductive isolation between Asgardians and humans!
Therefore, the Asgardians can be regarded as a special nation, but they are not separated from the human race.
As long as they are human beings, others may not be very strong, but their adaptability is absolutely outstanding.
No, within a few months, a group of Asgardians immediately integrated into New York.
Even the aesthetics have changed to a certain extent, for example, they are now wearing ordinary people's clothes.
And Asgard may be much more technologically advanced than Earth, but when it comes to culture, it's not necessarily as good as Earth. The reason is very simple. The Asgardians are a fighting nation. Their daily life and culture are developed based on fighting.
At the same time, they live long enough that Asgardians are generally conservative. Like traditional things.
This means that they tend to be culturally conservative and dislike change.
But people on Earth are different. People on Earth have short lifespans. They want to emit the most beautiful light in their limited lives, so changes are destined to happen all the time.
Therefore, the collision of various ideological trends created a culture far beyond Asgard.
Diversity and change give the earth’s culture a strong vitality.
So the Asgardian barbarians fell into ruin.
That’s right, it’s a barbarian!
After all, there is no culture. Can technology really replace culture?
For example, the United States is number one in the world in science and technology, but how many people really think it is literate?
In short, Asgardians adapt quickly.
No, the police school was on holiday, and a few Asgardians came out with a bunch of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who were monitoring them.
How could SHIELD really let these Asgardians run around?
Along with Thor and the others, Jane and her student Daisy accompanied the Asgardians to nightclubs!
After all, Asgardians are all poor... Kai only gave them basic living expenses, and the rest... SHIELD wanted to give them. But the problem is that the Asgardians have a really bad impression of SHIELD. With the ethics of this group of people, they are really unwilling to accept money from SHIELD. In the eyes of these soldiers, moral character is much more precious than money.
So they can only use Jane's money.
As for whether this is a soft meal... they really don't think so. After all, Jane is happy. And they had an IOU. The alien's IOU may itself exceed the value of the money Jane paid.
Someone said, isn't Jane very poor?
That would be wrong, Jane is not poor. (In the middle of the comic, she is a nurse and very poor. But in the movie, Jane is an astrophysicist, so she is not poor.)
Although he is not wealthy, he is definitely upper middle class. As for her lack of research funds... Come on, how can any scientist use his own money to do research? If this is the case, her scientific career will be over. After all, no matter what discipline it is, any research is extremely expensive. Others give her money to do her research.
In short, there is no problem in providing a few Asgardians.
Jane finally had a day off today, so she wanted to have a two-person world with Thor, but unfortunately... Thor was a straight man, so he had to bring his companions and friends with him. Jian was so angry that his teeth itched. But helplessly, Jane seems to like Thor like this.
I feel that such a person has nothing to show for it.
Unfortunately, what Jane didn't know was that Thor did look simple, but that didn't mean he wasn't attentive, as so many women in the police academy who had in-depth interactions with Thor could prove. Of course Thor doesn't think so. Asgardians are very open-minded. Love is love, and what is and what is is very clear. Thor didn't feel that he was sorry for Jane at all.
Just when a group of people were having fun and preparing to go to a nightclub to drink.
In the distant sky, huge spiral clouds appeared! Countless tiny points of light rotate and dance inside it, like a bright nebula appearing in the night sky.
Soon the five Asgardians stopped laughing and stood up to look at the magnificent nebula vortex.
Thor was very optimistic. He asked Sif: "Is there anyone else who comes to see me?"
Xif looked solemn: "No, we came out against orders, others don't have the courage..."
Daisy didn't think anything was wrong and said casually: "If you're not a friend, could you be an enemy?"
The logic of this statement is simple and clear. The four members of Tiangong Disobedience understood something almost subconsciously, and their expressions were extremely ugly.
The bearded Volstagg tore off his T-shirt, and the armor on his body appeared automatically. He grabbed his giant axe: "Whoever he is, I will hack him to death if he attacks Thor."
The three people, including Xif, also put on their own weapons. Although they didn't say anything, their meaning was the same as Volstagg's.
Thor didn't pay attention to all this, just looked up at the night sky. Still thinking about who would come to see me.
This guy has no sense of crisis at all.
The nebula vortex also made a loud roar, and a nebula channel fell straight on the street, which caused a sensation in the surrounding people. Then these passers-by ran away with a wink. New York has begun to get used to it, and then the nebula vortex is counting It disappears completely within a breath.
As the light dissipated, a huge humanoid object with metallic luster faintly floated out from the smoke and dust at the landing point of the passage, flying directly towards Thor and the others.
Sif shouted softly: "It's the Destroyer, it's coming towards us."
Sif didn't hesitate, grabbed Thor and ran away. The four Asgardian friends resisted their eldest prince and ran all the way with amazing speed.
Only Thor still can't believe it, why the Destroyer? ! ! !
