John Garrett, a seventh-level SHIELD agent, is older than Phil and has more credit than Phil. Although the level is not too high, the connections are real. At the same time, this also means that the number of people involved with Garrett is a terrifying number. Take Phil as an example. He is an eighth-level agent and has also served as a supervisor in New York. He has worked under more than 200 SHIELD agents. He has worked with more than 200 other SHIELD agents, at least more than Eight hundred, and his old superior is Nick Fury.
And Garrett has worked for SHIELD for decades, with outstanding achievements and wide connections. This number will only be higher than Phil's! What's even more terrible is that if Phil is suspected, then these people, including Nick Fury, will be included in the investigation. And Garrett's old superior is... Alexander Pierce.
Thinking of this, Phil's hands went numb.
Who is Pierce? Nick Fury’s boss, boss, and the last director of S.H.I.E.L.D.! Not only that, after SHIELD encountered such a crisis, it was the former director who turned the tide and tried his best to prevent SHIELD from collapsing. It can be said that Pierce's current status is equivalent to SHIELD's pinnacle. Once something goes wrong with him, SHIELD will be finished!
Even though Nick Fury was labeled a traitor by Alexander Pierce himself, Nick Fury never doubted his old superior. Even Nick Fury once felt very guilty about Pierce. After all...if it hadn't been for him, Pierce would not have lost his position as a Security Council representative, and even his ministerial position. Now he only has the title of S.H.I.E.L.D. advisor. ...It can be said that all Alexander Pierce's political achievements in the second half of his life were destroyed in the hands of Nick Fury.
No way, Nick Fury was promoted by Pierce, and Nick Fury was supported by Pierce as director.
Although there is little talk of involvement in American politics, the impact of Nick Fury's defection is really bad. S.H.I.E.L.D. has become a home for aliens and Hydra, and someone must stand up and take responsibility. If Pierce doesn't take the blame, who will?
That's it, Pierce still needs to work hard to maintain SHIELD and clean up Hydra within SHIELD.
It is simply a model of selfless dedication to the old scalper!
So although Pierce is only a consultant, his prestige within SHIELD is even higher. After all, without him, SHIELD would not be able to escape the fate of being dismantled and split up.
So don't say that Phil doesn't believe that Pierce is related to Hydra, even Nick Fury, a paranoid patient, doesn't believe it!
But there are some things that don’t mean you can just put them aside if you don’t believe them.
Garrett is Pierce's old subordinate.
Once this matter is exposed, Pierce will never escape the fate of being scrutinized, and once Pierce is scrutinized... there is no need to actually be guilty of any crime, SHIELD will be finished immediately. It doesn't even need external strife. SHIELD's own internal morale will collapse.
Even people like Pierce are being scrutinized and suspected of having an affair with Hydra, so who else is clean in this S.H.I.E.L.D. Who can escape the fate of being suspected?
There is no use keeping such an insecure organization.
From this point of view, even if Phil is a Hydra, it will be much less harmful than Garrett being a Hydra. If Phil hadn't always been steady and experienced so many things, he might be scratching his head like crazy now.
Everything has yet to be verified by them.
This is not a third-rate detective TV show. They just talk about who the spy is, and Phil and Hawkeye are stupid enough to arrest Garrett immediately. But if Garrett is Hydra, then there are really big problems. As for Grant Ward, it's a minor problem.
He and Garrett have a close relationship, which many people within SHIELD know. Ward is Garrett's adopted son. Grant Ward is also a member of Phil's special service team, and Phil is actually very optimistic about Ward. Although he has some shortcomings, such as his tendency to act alone and his personal heroism, there is no doubt about his ability. This young man has outstanding abilities and is calm and bold in his actions. He is Phil's most promising new generation agent in SHIELD. As long as Ward is given ten years, there will be no problem reaching the level of his father Garrett. If his personality can be changed, he can even be upgraded to an eighth-level agent and enter management like Phil.
Now... what a fart! Ward was brought into the industry by Garrett, and he and Garrett would even go on long vacations together. If Garrett is Hydra, can Ward still stay "clean"? The terrible thing is that Ward is not a few S.H.I.E.L.D. agents brought in by Garrett.
Anyway, these are minor issues.
The real problem is Alexander Pierce.
Those little minions... it's enough to clean them out secretly. But Pierce...
"Huh...what should we do now? Report it?"
"Of course! This matter is too serious, and we don't have the authority. We still focus on the clairvoyance system." Eagle Eye said directly without thinking.
"All right……"
In this case, there isn't much they can do. If the sky falls, there will be someone tall to hold it up, so they just have to do their own thing.
After a few minutes, after the two of them calmed down, Phil continued: "Rama is controlled by Garrett. He implanted a "clairvoyance system" in Rama's eyeballs to monitor him all the time. These people can also issue orders at any time, or cook their brains. He claims to be clairvoyant to these controlled subordinates, you need to pay attention to this."
Phil's injury hasn't healed yet, so Hawkeye is in charge of the field.
Hawkeye nodded and took note of these things.
"By the way, the mechanical eyeball used by Rama... doesn't seem to be something that ordinary people can make, right? You can start from this aspect. You can check the source of this thing."
"Well, I know, I've already checked again. It should be inseparable from the Roxon Group. As long as we catch this and continue the investigation, as long as we find out that Garrett has contacts with the Roxon Company... then we are basically inseparable. "
…
On Mars, Nick Fury also received the results of the investigation.
After all, Hill is a young boy.
"Tsk..." Nick Fury also felt a toothache as he looked at the report. How did things develop to this point?
Maybe Nick Fury is a jerk, but his feelings for S.H.I.E.L.D. are real. He didn't want SHIELD to withdraw from the stage of history in this way. What's more, this guy still thinks that one day a king will return!
Although he didn't care about hiding in the darkness, human traitor...he didn't want to bear this name.
And SHIELD is the best stage for his return of the king. If the stage is gone, how can he return as the king?
Of course, this is all for later.
Now their troubles are not small. Garrett's clairvoyance system. According to the intelligence, Garrett has a large number of familiar subordinates and friends in SHIELD. What other clairvoyance system can be used to control "Death Man". Outside, he not only has Mexican cartels making billions of dollars in black money a year, but he also cooperates with super capital groups like Roxon.
What the hell... Thinking about himself and thinking about someone else, Garrett, Nick Fury felt that he was quite useless. Secretly misappropriating funds from S.H.I.E.L.D. funds every year, making himself look like a corrupt official, but Nick Fury promised that all his money would be used to maintain world peace.
But what about others? Easily making billions in profits... How can I use the funds for SHIELD? In short, this clairvoyance system must be abolished.
Moreover, there is another question: Does Alexander know that Garrett is Hydra?
If Garrett did what he did, Alexander knew. So is there something wrong with Alexander himself? If Alexander didn't know, everyone would be happy. But does Alexander know? If you are just collaborating, then it's not a big problem. Greedy for money, Nick Fury can understand. After all, he himself is not a good bird. If it's not just complicity...then the problem is really big.
Nick Fury thought of this and immediately opened all of Garrett's information. Hopefully we can find out the relationship between Garrett and Alexander.
In fact, there is no need to check this thing. Nick Fury is very familiar with Garrett and Alexander.
We all had a good relationship before.
Garrett is different from Nick Fury. Nick Fury followed Pierce when he entered S.H.I.E.L.D. Pierce is not only his direct boss, but also his guide. Garrett entered S.H.I.E.L.D. later than Nick Fury. Moreover, he joined S.H.I.E.L.D. through the Secret Service Academy. He has a clean financial background and a clear background.
Garrett was not on Pierce's line at first, but after Pierce's promotion, Garrett's department fell under Pierce's command.
From that time on, Garrett became Pierce's subordinate.
After that, Garrett gradually gained Pierce's trust, but if it comes down to it, Pierce's trust in Garrett is more like a boss's recognition of the abilities of his subordinates who have worked under him for many years. Compared to Nick Fury's efforts to cultivate, Garrett did not receive much care from Pierce.
Otherwise, Garrett wouldn't be a level seven agent at this age.
The ten-level system of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has only three main levels.
The first level is the newcomers and peripheral personnel at the first, second and third levels.
The second level is the backbone personnel at levels 4, 5 and 6 (including scientific research logistics and field support).
The third level and seventh level are the commanders among agents. They have the power to form their own team and be responsible for certain affairs alone. The power is not small, but it is also within the scope of control. You can also become the leader of some unimportant national chapters. (Hawkeye and Natasha are both level seven)
The remaining eighth and ninth levels are so rare that the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. can almost be counted on one hand. This level is basically equivalent to the 'princes' in S.H.I.E.L.D., who are solely responsible for a certain area of affairs (such as managing a branch), etc. that power. For example, Hill was once at level nine and could command an aircraft carrier alone, while Phil was at level eight and could serve as a branch leader. Phil served as director of the New York Bureau.
There is only one person at level ten - the director himself. That was Pierce, Nick Fury and now Maria Hill.
In terms of authority, agents of levels one to six can only query information within their own scope of work. At level seven and above, you can query most information on non-individually confidential projects. This part of the information seems important, but it does not involve SHIELD's real core secrets.
If Pierce was really in cahoots with Garrett, there's no reason why Garrett shouldn't be promoted to a truly high-level role, such as being upgraded to a level eight agent.
Pierce could do that.
You know, Nick Fury was promoted all the way to the position of director by Pierce! And Nick Fury is black!
In the early years, it was difficult for black people to mix in organizations like SHIELD. Even now, there aren't many black senior agents within S.H.I.E.L.D. And they were all promoted after Nick Fury came to power.
This calculation makes it more likely that Nick Fury and Pierce colluded.
Thinking of these, Nick Fury's suspicious heart gradually let go. If Pierce is really Hydra, there is no reason to let Hydra not promote him and instead promote himself, a black man. Hydra are all racist!
What Nick Fury didn't know was that his rare emotional touch was Pierce's brilliance.
Not just Garrett, but even the entire Hydra of S.H.I.E.L.D., including those that were cleaned up, their promotions have nothing to do with Pierce. On the contrary, many agents who had nothing to do with Hydra were promoted by Pierce!
So even if there is a traitor like Nick Fury under his command, no one will doubt Pierce. After all, except for his mistakes regarding Nick Fury, this guy is very clean!
But the actual situation is that Hydra listens to him, and SHIELD agents also have a lot of cronies... Neither side is wasting time. Won Ma.
Furthermore, if you want to promote certain people, do you really need a director to run it? That's too low! Is it difficult to quietly create opportunities for Hydra agents to perform meritorious deeds? He doesn't need to do anything at all to promote certain people according to normal procedures.
No one can fault it.
As for Garrett, that's simpler. Does it really matter whether he is level 7 or 8?
Pierce is level ten!
Why should Garrett be promoted if there is no information? On the contrary, Garrett has been at the level of level seven agent, which is more beneficial to them. Compared with Level 8 agents, Level 7 agents have higher autonomy. They can lead the establishment of a team of agents. They only need to be responsible to their direct leaders for whatever they do, and they have higher flexibility and concealment. On the contrary, they are eighth-level agents who need to be specifically responsible for certain affairs and departments. They are not only eye-catching, but also attract a lot of attention.
Nick Fury shouldn't be unable to see this... It can only be said that this guy subconsciously doesn't want to believe that there is really a SHIELD director who betrayed SHIELD.
Because if this speculation comes true, then SHIELD will become a complete joke!
Nick Fury subconsciously ignored his feelings for SHIELD and his desire for the return of the King.
After all, the King of Agents is also a human being, and it is impossible for humans not to make mistakes.
Not to mention that Nick Fury has made so many mistakes?
