Chapter Twenty-Five: Secretly

Is S.H.I.E.L.D. redundant? Of course not. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info but this does not mean that the World Security Council has no opinion on S.H.I.E.L.D., especially when this world is relatively peaceful.

"Fury, no one would think that S.H.I.E.L.D. is superfluous, but ....... Pierce turned to Nick Fury and said, "The World Security Council's patience with S.H.I.E.L.D. is decreasing, and it can be furious at the slightest thing. It consumes the largest amount of money of any intelligence service, but does the same thing as other departments. ”

Truth be told, while the role of S.H.I.E.L.D. is crucial, in this era of no outer life and no Avengers, its functions do overlap with some other departments. What S.H.I.E.L.D. does is what other departments, such as the CIA and the NSA, are doing much the same thing as S.H.I.E.L.D. While S.H.I.E.L.D. is the most successful of these departments, it is also the most expensive. It's like a soldier with three primary weapons at the same time, and S.H.I.E.L.D. is the biggest and heaviest one.

Pierce turned to face Nick Fury, raised his phone and continued, "In the midst of a small gang that I have never heard of, I discovered an evil organization that should have perished sixty years ago, and because of the imperfect results of an operation, it was determined that he had infiltrated the government and S.H.I.E.L.D., no more than this document in my possession to convince the committee. Do you know what they think?"

Nick Fury didn't speak, just touched his nose and tilted his head to the side, as if he was sulking. Pierce went on to say, "They will think that you are making a fuss and looking for trouble, and they will even think that you are lying and deliberately fabricating an imaginary enemy so that S.H.I.E.L.D. will gain more attention and power." ”

S.H.I.E.L.D. now has very large powers, the highest priority of intelligence, all kinds of immunity, and when black operations are carried out in disregard of sovereignty around the world, both at home and abroad, they do not even need to report, and the consequences of the actions are handed over to the government to deal with the aftermath, for which the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has complained to Congress more than once.

So not only the World Security Council, but also the government, all have some opinions about S.H.I.E.L.D. Some people even feel that S.H.I.E.L.D. is a product of a system that is not open and transparent and oversight. The CIA, in particular, thought that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s power and funding should be cut and transferred to the CIA, but no one paid attention to that.

And at this time, in other departments, without getting a little information at all, Nick Fury suddenly turned out the Hydra that should have been extinct for many years from a small gang, and determined that the Hydra had infiltrated the government and S.H.I.E.L.D. by just one operation.

They would almost take it for granted that Nick Fury was playing the dual role of arsonist and firefighter, and they would believe that the so-called Hydra was just a product of Nick Fury's imagination to justify the need for S.H.I.E.L.D.'s current super-privileges, and at the same time to absorb more privileges and become an excuse not to accept government supervision. I'm sorry I suspect you're a hydra, come with us.

"Listen. Nick Fury, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, his expression was extremely serious, and a terrifying light shot out of that eye, "I don't care what bullshit the committee thinks, I only care about the truth, what I want to do most now is to pinch the hydra that threatens the security of the world, each of them, to death one by one." ”

"Really, don't I think so?" Pierce came to Nick Fury's side and looked Nick Fury in the eye, "What are seven or eight people in a small gang? You and I both know how powerful Hydra used to be, and now we can say we don't know anything about it. So in order to deal with them, S.H.I.E.L.D. must first make sure that it does not take any constraints. ”

"That's why I'm going to conduct an internal review, a Hydra spy lurking inside S.H.I.E.L.D., and maybe more than one, and it's a threat that can't be ignored. Nick Fury exclaimed.

It is said that knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, and now it is the other way around, S.H.I.E.L.D. knows very little about the current Hydra, but there is a spy inside itself, and he keeps passing messages to Hydra, which is still a joke.

"The impact of a few spies cannot be greater than that of the committee. And we don't have more enemies than Hydra," Pierce also raised his voice, "A large-scale review must be submitted to the committee for approval, and they may use this as an excuse to conduct a thorough investigation of S.H.I.E.L.D., which is nothing." But it can seriously disrupt our normal work, or even stop our work altogether, and you know how costly it will be. ”

Pierce's statement, for whatever purpose. But the Commission is more than happy to conduct a thorough investigation of S.H.I.E.L.D. And what are those bureaucratic checks like? First, they take over the supreme authority of S.H.I.E.L.D., restrict the activities of all agents, even normal tasks are assigned to other departments, and then they will pay attention to reviewing the files of the past years, regardless of whether they should be seen or not. It can be said that S.H.I.E.L.D. was definitely in a state of shutdown during that time, and in terms of the time concept of the group of bureaucrats, this inventory cannot be estimated to be completed in half a year. Don't do it, Hydra hasn't done it, and other terrorist organizations have turned the world upside down. Half a year, maybe half a year later, maybe this bearded man will fly again.

Originally, large-scale censorship was just a tendency of Nick Fury, and he had not yet made up his mind. When Pierce said this, he really muttered in his heart. "What do you say?

If you really can, I'll just run around your office naked. Pierce thought so, but said, "No matter what, it's definitely not going to work, but there's no need to make such a big fuss." We can secretly review everything and do it in batches, which may take a little longer, but it will not affect the normal work, and more importantly, it can bypass the World Security Council. ”

Pierce finally said what he was going to do. And Nick Fury thought about it and really thought it was a good idea. Small-scale covert review, which does not need to be reported to the professional bureaucrats of the committee, and does not affect the normal work of the bureau too much, this kind of low-key action, maybe it can also paralyze the hydra, so that it is easier to find out who it is. And this kind of black-box operation, if you find out, it may not collapse on the spot, if you can use him to pass on some false information to Hydra, and then catch it all, wouldn't it be better.

"Okay, just do as you say. Suddenly, Nick Fury was put in a trap by Pierce.
