How Natasha contacted Steve was actually not important anymore. After all, with Natasha's ability, it is not difficult to do this.
After Natasha and Steve came into contact, Steve immediately contacted Carter, and the Shadow Bureau secretly transferred Natasha to a secret base in New York.
Because of Natasha's rebellious behavior, Ms. Carter did not believe her at first, but imprisoned her. Then immediately start tracking SHIELD's developments! It turns out that SHIELD is calm and peaceful.
Only then did Ms. Carter begin to believe that Natasha's rebellion was not directed and acted by SHIELD. Don't underestimate the bottom line of those intelligence agencies. Even for fraternal units in the same camp, they will not be respectful to each other. The most obvious is the years-long dispute between the CIA and the FBI.
The Shadow Bureau and SHIELD are destined to never be friends, especially after SHIELD was infiltrated by Hydra!
Judging from this relationship, it is not impossible for SHIELD to come up with a painful plan.
But if this is really the case, SHIELD will never be so calm. Even if it shows off, it will make some noise. But now it's calm... but it can explain something. Of course, Carter still doesn't trust Natasha completely. This is the quality of a qualified intelligence officer.
Doubt everything! This is what Carter taught Nick Fury.
Soon after collecting the necessary preliminary intelligence, Carter brought Steve to Natasha. They need to ask why Natasha suddenly rebelled.
"Insight Project?"
Carter looked at Natasha doubtfully.
Unexpectedly, Natasha looked at Carter with even more confusion: "You don't know?"
According to the information, Zola was diagnosed with a terminal illness in 1972. From that time, Zola masterminded S.H.I.E.L.D.'s "Project Insight," also known as Operation Paperclip, as a way to identify and identify potential threats to the world's interests. a method. This is the underlying logic algorithm of the Insight Plan. It is also the starting point of everything.
And all of this is happening under Ms. Carter’s watch!
After Natasha said this, Ms. Carter's face was extremely ugly!
She...really doesn't know!
As the director of SHIELD at the time, she and Howard Stark, who was still alive at the time, knew nothing about such an important invention! What does this mean?
This shows that the infiltration has already started since then! And while they were still complacent about defeating Hydra, Hydra had already been reborn through the shell of SHIELD! In this way, they are the real accomplices!
Steve also looked at his girlfriend in surprise.
He never expected it to unfold like this.
"It's Project Paperclip..." Combining all the intelligence, Carter could easily detect which link had the problem.
Steve has also heard of this plan. According to US secret disclosures, before the end of World War II, the United States had a plan to absorb top German scientists. At that time, the United States transferred a large number of German rocket technology experts and high-level researchers to the United States by competing for German technical experts.
The most notable of these scientists was Werner von Braun. **The mastermind of the V2 missile. At the same time, he was also a member of the SS Senior Group. His original profile described him as "a security risk." The USP met with Werner von Braun and more than 700 other scientists who had fled Germany under the watchful eyes of the American Allies. Later he became the father of the Saturn V rocket.
Also, Arthur L. Rudolph, a famous scientist who once managed an arsenal. Relying on his expertise in rocket manufacturing, he was brought to the United States in 1945 during "Operation Paperclip" to recruit scientists who had served Germany. Later, Rudolph was awarded a medal by NASA.
According to regulations at the time, direct dealings with war criminals were prohibited. The U.S. military intelligence department found that almost all Japanese scientists, engineers and other technical personnel who needed to be brought back to the United States had connections with the Communist Party and were even suspected of committing war crimes. For its own strategic interests, the US military decided to bypass those rules and act secretly.
President Truman was convinced that German scientists would be able to assist America's postwar plans, and in September 1946 he agreed to approve Operation Paperclip. This program assigned carefully selected German scientists to work for the United States during World War II. As the results of the war expanded, the number of technical intelligence personnel dispatched by the US military into Germany for collection activities increased from 100 to more than 700. More than 700 people were divided into multiple squads, which were further divided into multiple intelligence groups, respectively responsible for the collection of advanced weapons and equipment such as fighter jets, missiles and rockets, and their personnel.
Even the government is like this, and SHIELD will only go further when it has great autonomy.
A large number of Hydra's internal scientists were absorbed by S.H.I.E.L.D. in this way.
And the information of these scientists does not appear in any official information!
This was a joint decision made by the upper management of SHIELD at that time...
But now it seems that from that time on, Hydra began to spread within SHIELD.
"Alexander..." Carter quickly thought of the key points of all this.
Alexander, a group of scientists, even Hydra scientists, want to secretly develop their power under the heavy supervision of SHIELD. It is simply a dream unless someone helps them and provides cover for everything they do.
At that time, Alexander had been promoted to the top of S.H.I.E.L.D., which happened to be. The Paperclip Project was supervised by Alexander at the time!
This is like throwing the mouse into the rice vat!
They personally created what S.H.I.E.L.D. is today.
When Natasha heard Carter whisper Alexander's name, she immediately felt something unusual, but she really didn't think about it that way.
"You go on."
"The so-called "Insight Plan" is to analyze each person's experience and data to predict whether he will pose a threat to the stable order in the future; those who are a threat will be eliminated with the space carrier before the threat occurs. To elaborate, it is Through a person's past behavior, including words said, books read, music listened to, movies watched, clubs participated in, Weibo posted, liked, forwarded, emails sent, every phone call, Every day text messages, activity circles, professional attributes, educational experience, medical conditions, blood type, constellation, etc. are used to predict the person's future. If the prediction results are not what the designer expected, then these people will be "cleaned". Ensure that the designer's will is implemented; eliminate the perpetrator before every behavior that is detrimental to the designer occurs."
Steve and Carter immediately gasped when they heard this.
"There are currently three aerospace carriers undergoing final assembly in the underground factory of SHIELD headquarters, and these aerospace carriers are an important part of the Insight Plan!"
What exactly does SHIELD want to do with the "Insight Project" supporting the Space Carrier?
After the Space Carrier made no achievements in the last war, S.H.I.E.L.D. carried out all-round modifications to it, especially Tony who also participated in this plan at that time. He not only improved the power system and flight system of the Space Carrier, Some Chitauri technology was also loaded onto the space carrier, which turned this big toy in Kai's eyes into a destructive weapon. Without anyone knowing, SHIELD actually Three ships were built!
What do they want to do? Is it to completely destroy the Special Administrative Region? Or should we let the big cities on the East Coast like Philadelphia, New York, and Boston be buried together?
As for actually fighting criminals and terrorists... Carter and Steve don't believe it anyway. It was Hydra after all! It is impossible to deal with aliens and protect world peace.
What they don't know is that there are many people within Hydra who are very opposed to this plan!
These people have been regarded as cannon fodder by Alexander!
They plan to sacrifice these people!
"Is that why you rebelled?" Carter signaled Steve to calm down, and she continued to ask Natasha.
"Isn't this enough? They are putting the whole world under their control, and everything is decided by them! How can there be equality and freedom here? Everyone needs to live under S.H.I.E.L.D. Under control, they cannot speak casually or express dissatisfaction! They even need to die for things they have not done! Just because SHIELD thinks they are guilty! What does this mean? SHIELD intends to maintain this kind of world, why should I? Want to help them? When I joined SHIELD, I just wanted to escape from hell, but unexpectedly I entered another hell."
Natasha's words made Carter mentally nod.
That makes sense.
Agents of Natasha's level will no longer rebel for money or status, because with their ability, they can get almost everything they want easily. The only thing that allows them to truly concentrate on their work is the pursuit deep in their hearts.
Steve finally couldn't help it anymore: "We must stop SHIELD! We can't let the Insight Project unfold! Otherwise..."
"No!" Carter flatly refused!
"Why?!!"
"Because this treats the symptoms but not the root cause! Our goal should be to gain insight into the underlying algorithm of the plan!"
Carter is very calm. Even if they gather an army to attack SHIELD at this time, it will be useless! As long as the foundation of the Insight Plan exists, Hydra can carry out the second Insight Plan and the third Insight Plan. Hydra has penetrated and developed within SHIELD for so many years. Who knows how powerful they are.
As the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., she knows the organization she founded very well.
S.H.I.E.L.D. is too big.
Who knows how much blood Hydra has sucked from SHIELD over the years?
The best way is to get the underlying algorithm and directly destroy the foundation of the Insight Plan!
Only in this way can Hydra's delusion be completely destroyed!
At this moment, Natasha suddenly said: "Maybe I know something."
Carter and Steve looked over immediately.
"When I was peeking at the information, I found a marked location. But all the information about that location was deleted."
Natasha didn't say anything else, and Carter judged that there was something wrong with this place.
After all, the sudden appearance of such an address in such confidential information symbolizes a problem.
"where?"
“Camp Witton Lehigh, New Jersey!”
…
Camp Witton Lehigh in New Jersey is very close to the Special Administrative Region, only a little over 200 kilometers away.
Carter acted quickly, and she immediately sent Natasha and Steve to lead an elite team there. Even though they don't know what's hidden there, Carter believes there must be important clues.
Long before they set off, the Shadow Bureau also learned the details of this base through some secret channels.
This underground base belongs to SHIELD, but it has been abandoned in the files for more than 20 years. What's even more interesting is that this base has never been used for other purposes since it was abandoned... SHIELD and the United States do have money, but they are not ready to completely abandon a base with complete facilities. Judging from the inspection, it is true that no one has been here for many years, and there is not even a basic guard set up, but Natasha and the others got clues related to this place.
What's even more paradoxical is that the underground base is obviously abandoned, but the base's power supply and ventilation system are completely normal. Not only that, the power consumption is quite large. Although this power supply line is merged into a nearby farm, a police officer with a little experience can see that something is wrong. Does a farm need such a large power demand?
Many American police officers who arrest suspects for growing weed indoors often check the electricity meter first. Modern life and work are inseparable from the use of electricity. Once you are engaged in work that consumes a lot of electricity, it is easy to arouse suspicion.
This kind of hiding is not to mention hiding from the Shadow Bureau.
In an empty base, the power is constantly running at high speed, and the power consumption is extremely terrifying.
No wonder this is no problem.
Before entering the base, everyone conducted an extremely detailed investigation around the base and found that there was really no one here!
With this understanding, Natasha and Steve quickly found the entrance to the base. It's very well hidden, and most people really can't find it.
After clearing away the weeds and shrubs at the entrance, everyone worked together to push open the camouflage door. There was a very old elevator inside, but it was still powered on.
Steve and Natasha did their part and went down first as the vanguard. If there was no problem, the backup personnel could go down. The elevator was password-controlled, which of course did not trouble Natasha. This old-style password lock had been eliminated many years ago. Natasha directly opened the casing, took out the wires and fiddled with it, and soon the elevator started.
The elevator runs for almost three minutes.
According to the speed of the elevator, Natasha and Steve quickly deduced that the main body of the base was at least seventy meters underground!
With the technology of more than 20 years ago, the cost of building such a base without alarming anyone is absolutely astronomical, but such a base has not been abandoned! ,
If this wasn't a trick, even an idiot wouldn't believe it!
Soon the two entered the base. The base was large, but it was already covered with a thick layer of dust!
It seems that no one has been here for a long time.
