On the other side, SHIELD was also given a death order.
"Batman must be recycled! He is the property of the US government!" Hill shouted across the phone. How valuable Batman is...it's hard to say. A corpse is only worth that much. But there are many hidden treasures about Batman.
Among other things, the artifact used by Batman in San Francisco was of incomparable value to SHIELD. Through Aquaman Arthur, S.H.I.E.L.D. actually already knew what that artifact was.
Trident of Poseidon.
The artifact of Poseidon, the God of the Sea, is much inferior to the artifact of the Kingdom of Atlantis, the Neptune Trident. Neptune's Trident was a gift given to his people by Poseidon, the god of the sea. It was naturally different from what Poseidon himself used.
Not to mention anything else, the ability of Poseidon's Trident to control the ocean is enough to make every country in the world flock to it.
Although you may not get the Poseidon Trident if you get Batman, the chances are definitely much better than having nothing in your hand! It’s just that these people have never thought that since the Poseidon Trident is so powerful, why are the people of Atlantis indifferent to it? Do they think that the fact that they got the Poseidon Trident is the same as Batman getting the Trident? Will the Atlanteans still sit back and watch?
And Batman has too many secrets, which is also very tempting for SHIELD.
In short, after seeing Batman being beaten away by the monster, Hill gave Phil the sternest order, asking them to recover Batman immediately.
Phil was not happy at the time... How many people would they have to die to recycle Batman under those circumstances?
But Hill's original words were, "Even if you all die, as long as you bring Batman back, it will all be worth it!"
S.H.I.E.L.D. is also a disciplined force. When the top issues an order, the people below must obey it, even if it is a life-threatening order. Although Phil was unhappy, he did not dare to refute, so he had to give the order and let everyone prepare.
But unexpectedly, in a twist of events, Batman was not only still alive, but he even gave the monster a slap in the face with his backhand!
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s enthusiasm immediately waned upon seeing Batman still alive.
There is no way, the world is so real. For SHIELD, a dead Batman is actually more valuable than a living Batman, because they dare not touch a living Batman!
Public opinion, public opinion, etc. can be put aside and not discussed for the time being.
But the emotions of superheroes have to be considered.
In particular, the emotions of Tony Stark and Kay Wayne have to be considered. There are many reasons mentioned before, so I won’t go into details here. In short, these two are not superheroes in the ordinary sense.
This really pissed off these two people. Do you believe that they dared to directly manipulate public opinion and attack SHIELD?
Not to mention, this possibility is very high.
To deal with superheroes, SHIELD has nothing more than two methods. One is to use public opinion to isolate the superheroes and make them the opposite of most people, and then start to throw dirty water, take the blame, completely ruin the superheroes, and cause social death. The second type is suppression by force.
Facing these two people, these two methods will not work.
First of all, they have extensive connections. The two major consortiums spend hundreds of millions of dollars on lobbying every year. How many congressmen and senior officials rely on the two major financial groups for their livelihood! There are also political donations. The two parties receive massive donations from the two major financial groups every election year. These are real money!
Collecting money to do things is a principle that applies all over the world.
Especially in capitalism, if you take money and do nothing, your reputation will be ruined and no one will give you money!
Coupled with the personal connections of the Stark family and Kay himself at the top levels of the federal government... this is not a force that can be underestimated.
Secondly, other people have money!
SHIELD, you are awesome, you control public opinion, how can you control public opinion better than capital?
The most you can do is use the heads of those media or high-level executives to let them cheer for SHIELD. But others know the boss, and they directly use the interests to talk to the capital behind the media. Who do the public opinion media listen to, why bother asking?
So the above two methods are useless to these two people.
What's even more frightening is that these two can turn around at any time and use these two to deal with SHIELD... This is very embarrassing.
So seeing Batman come to life, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s enthusiasm suddenly dropped.
Hill said directly that he could relax a little and leave the matter to Batman.
Phil was speechless. Today's leaders are so... realistic?
I originally wanted to say it was cold-blooded, but after thinking about it, I felt that I couldn't be so unreasonable to the leader.
Then a group of people dilly-dallyed, and the situation turned again.
Damn, Batman looks like he's been in trouble again...
Then Hill's words changed to: "Even if you all die, as long as you bring Batman back, then everything will be worth it!"
Phil is beyond fuckable.
So a group of people can only change from dawdling to rushing.
"Let me go!
! "
Finally caught up.
Phil and his men directly surrounded the Divine Spear Bureau.
The weather witch didn't pay attention to any of the people Phil brought, but asked: "Take us away."
Shiliang nodded, then shook his head.
"We'll have to wait a little longer."
The weather witch looked towards Quantum.
"Skill CD." Shi Quang said matter-of-factly. "Bringing him to the headquarters all at once will consume a lot of energy. I'm just a kid."
Weather Witch: "Tsk...that means we still have to face these idiots?"
"How about killing them? They are just old ghosts. If they die, they will die. No one will care. Anyway, they look menacing, so we just said that we thought they were parasitic beasts. If we are not careful, it will be...capitalism." , it should be okay to pay some money. I heard that their lives have a price."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" the Weather Witch scolded righteously: "Our funds are tight too! The superiors will never grant us funds for such a stupid thing!"
"Well..." Phil said with an embarrassed look on his face: "I understand Chinese."
Farke!
Is this how you all plot? Are you planning to kill someone and silence me right in front of my face?
The amount and the weather witch turned to look at Phil silently.
The atmosphere was quite awkward.
Then the weather witch turned her head and hit Shiliang's head directly!
"Don't make such a joke! We are international friends. If we scare others, they might ask us for mental damages!"
He held his head and crouched in defense, with an aggrieved look on his face: "No way, look at his hair, he is old, he won't be frightened so easily, right?"
Phil felt that this was far more insulting than just now!
He touched his wise head and said seriously: "Batman is a Chinese, so thank you for everything you have done for him. We will tell the State Department and they will send you a letter to express our gratitude."
Shiliang suddenly stood up: "You said Batman is from your country, that's it? I even said he is Chinese!"
Phil's face suddenly became serious: "Please don't say such words that will cause misunderstanding between both parties."
"Have you met Batman?" Shiliang didn't care about this and continued to ask.
"Please don't mess around!"
Now that the Avengers team is here, Phil still has the confidence. Even if there is a fight, they will be responsible. Moreover, if possible, they would be happy to fight, especially when there are only two people on the other side, they have an obvious advantage!
Shiliang was about to say something else, but the next second the weather witch held her head.
"Well, that makes sense," the Weather Witch said.
Eh?
Not only was Shiliang stunned, but Phil was also stunned. So easy to talk to?
What happened to this... Divine Spear Bureau?
Cowarded?
It shouldn’t be!
Spearhead has always had a huge psychological advantage over SHIELD. There is no way, while SHIELD is still struggling to deal with super-powered people everywhere, other people's SHIELD began to absorb and accept super-powered people thousands of years ago.
The difference is obvious.
Therefore, SHIELD has always been weak against Spear of God. In other words, the Divine Spear Bureau does not expand externally very much, otherwise...
Shiliang was stunned for a moment, and immediately became unhappy.
How can I be afraid of the old ghost?
If it's great, let's do it. Who is afraid of whom?
But the next second, Shiliang was stunned and nodded.
Now Phil felt even more strange.
He subconsciously looked back and found that at some point, there was a person standing next to Batman.
But the people around him didn’t notice it at all!
"stop!
! "Phil drew his gun directly and pointed it at the man.
The surrounding S.H.I.E.L.D. people suddenly woke up from a dream, and raised their weapons to target the man.
"Hey, Sasibuli!" This person was naturally Hannibal: "Long time no see, Mr. Coulson."
Hannibal has dealt with Phil, and more than once.
So Phil knew very well how difficult this man was.
"Mr. Hannibal." When facing a dangerous person who is polite, you should try to be polite if you can. "what you up to?"
"Well, as you can see." Hannibal had no intention of hiding anything. "There's something wrong with Batman, and I need to take him away."
"Lie to Kangxi"
Phil: "No, we will take good care of him!"
If Batman hadn't had problems, they wouldn't be so active.
Although Phil felt very ashamed, Batman finally lost his ability to resist. If he missed this opportunity... In short, he must put the interests of SHIELD first.
"No. After all, it's Kai who asked me to do it. No matter what happens, I can't just ignore it."
Hannibal looked troubled.
"Or...are you planning to stop me?"
"I'll go talk to Kai Wayne! And... he's a policeman, and you're a wanted criminal!"
Phil could only mess around.
"Don't answer the question incorrectly, Mr. Coulson, are you... planning to stop me?" Hannibal was still polite. But the hideous and terrifying body of the Tindalos Hound loomed behind him, and it didn't look so easy to talk to.
Phil froze.
At this moment, Hill, who was far away in Washington, suddenly received a call.
Hill heard the secretary's message and immediately knew he was in trouble. She knew that SHIELD's calculations were in vain, and she didn't want to answer the call, but the problem was that some things really weren't what she wanted.
"I'm Kay Wayne. What are you going to do?"
Of course Hill knew what Kai was calling at this moment.
"Director Wayne, we are just trying to avoid any problems with Mr. Batman. Believe me, we have no malicious intentions."
"I appreciate Batman's kindness." Kai's words were not as polite as Hannibal's: "Let your people get away, Hannibal will take care of it."
"Let me remind you, Director Wayne. Hannibal is a dangerous and wanted criminal!"
"Then what?"
Kai asked silently.
"You are a police officer, employed by the federal government..."
"Correction, I am employed by the New York government!" Kai interrupted directly: "Also, what are you going to say?"
Hill took a deep breath: "Kay Wayne, SHIELD and you are not enemies."
"maybe."
Hill took a deep breath again: "You should understand that we are on the same side. Whether it is Batman or Hannibal, they are not under control! We just want to minimize the threat."
"Get your people out! I'd rather trust these uncontrolled people than you. This is a warning."
"Are you threatening me? As a government employee, threatening another government department?" Hill also stepped forward.
"No, I'm just stating a fact. Hannibal's temper is not as good as you think. Once he decides to take action...are you prepared for losses? In addition, don't think about passing the responsibility to them. I'm here , you can’t confuse right and wrong, anyway, there really shouldn’t be too many people in the federation who are unhappy with you, believe me, they will support me.”
"You..." Hill was at a loss for words.
"Okay, I've said what I need to say... Also, don't imitate Nick Fury's one-eyed dragon! There is no future."
After speaking, Kai hung up the phone directly.
Hill gritted his teeth and hung up the phone after a while.
Let's go back to the ruins of Tokyo.
Phil is also going through a test, and he must make a choice. Should he follow orders and fight with Hannibal, or should he just go along with the situation?
But someone obviously made the choice for him.
"Why don't you answer the phone?"
"What?" Phil was stunned.
Then his intercom rang.
Phil looked at Hannibal, confused and panicked.
"Take that," Hannibal said.
Phil looked at Hannibal, who was still standing calmly on the spot with more than a dozen guns pointed at him, and had a bad feeling in his heart.
He answered the phone.
"It's me, let him go." Hill's voice was slightly low, sounding a little frustrated and a little angry.
"Yes!" Phil actually breathed a sigh of relief, although it was a bit embarrassing. But at least you don’t need to go through the test of your own conscience. Even though he was prepared to throw away his conscience when he embarked on the path of being an agent. In this line of work, sometimes you can't do that, but it's still worth being happy to be able to maintain the bottom line of being a human being.
Phil waved his hand and told all his men to put away their weapons.
Hannibal nodded at Phil: "That's right."
After saying that, Hannibal directly shouldered Batman.
Then Shi Shiran walked out.
