Chapter 916
Since Nick Fury was found dead, S.H.I.E.L.D. was leaderless, so in this special period, it was only natural that Minister Pierce, who had the same authority as the director, would be acting director during the war.
As a result, he is now a busy man, spending most of his time in his office where Nick Fury used to be, except for the necessary time to communicate with the committee in his office. Now he was standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking out of the window with his usual Nick Fury.
Although there is such a floor-to-ceiling window in his office, the scenery seen is different depending on the view, which is a different flavor.
It's a pity, Nick, I know that you are a very capable person, even I envy your ability, I also know that you have a variety of means, but you are not good at being flexible, and you can't see the real reality clearly, otherwise we wouldn't have to get to the point where you are alive or dead.
Pierce took a moment to remember his former friend, but it was sad at best, and he wasn't in a bad mood now. Because the committee has finally finalized the specific launch time of the Insight Project, the day when victory, bringing true security and peace to this world, and bringing a new order to this world, is just around the corner.
Although Captain America and Black Widow are still making trouble, and they are indeed difficult enough to deal with, they sent several groups of people back and forth to no avail, and even sacrificed Zola for this.
Zola... Pierce remembered his own great old-timer, who played an indelible role in Project Insight, and whose sacrifice was great and proud. But... It's not worth a pity.
After the completion of the insight plan, he has fulfilled his historical responsibility, and it is worthless, rather than continue to bind him to those tapes, it is better to free him early, which is a kind of mercy, and if he continues to stay, it may become an obstacle for himself. It can be said that his sacrifice now is really timely.
The only thing that worries Peel is that Zola finally asked to postpone the missile attack, which was only five minutes, and the reason given was simply that the situation had changed. But Pierce, out of caution, agreed in order to get Captain America into the soul.
But the result was not as good as it could be, and none of the damned ones died, except for Zola. So the suspicious Pierce couldn't help but wonder what was going on in the unplanned five minutes, and what happened in those five minutes?
But this kind of thinking is doomed to be futile, because everyone is dead and has no proof, and you want to figure it out unless you pull Captain America over and confront him face to face. And it shouldn't be a big deal, could it be that Zola suddenly defected to the enemy in such a short period of time, giving Captain America time to cover and escape?
How is this possible? There is loyalty to betrayal, and in Zola's condition, he probably doesn't even have a personality. Well, maybe because of this, he didn't have the concept of betrayal, and it was easier for him to betray without knowing it, but the object of his surrender would definitely not be Captain America.
There is a deep hatred between them, the Red Skull Hydra was destroyed by Captain America that year, and Zola was also captured by Captain America that year. If it weren't for Captain America's Red Skull, maybe it would have been a success. It can be said that Zola has been dormant for so many years, painstakingly becoming a two-faced person, and painstakingly compiling insight plans, all in order to make up for the losses caused by Captain America back then.
So what a hatred is this, what a hatred is this? Can he shake hands with Captain America so easily and abandon the united front of his previous suspicions? Damn, Pierce couldn't help but burst into a foul language, even if it is a screenwriter of a large-scale role-playing game, he would not dare to make up such a nonsense plot!
Forget it, if you can't figure it out, you just don't want to. Captain America, they're still out there, so let them go, the people of the squad can't do anything with them, but they can't do anything with us either, can't they?
Well... To be on the safe side, let's let Dongri do what is holding them back.
After figuring out this, Pierce's mood improved again, but this good mood did not last long. Sitwell knocked on the door and barged in, and Pierce had recently found himself a bald man who was pretty good, but he always brought some bad news, which was quite unpleasant.
And now looking at his expression and that eagerness, unless he is humorous and wants to amuse himself, it is definitely another headache news "Sitwell, let's talk about what's going on, let's talk, I'm ready." ”
And the news brought by Sitwell was really bad that it exploded: "Evenson Richter, I think he may have been involved in Captain America's trip to the old S.H.I.E.L.D. base in New Jersey." ”
Pierce raised an eyebrow, although he was ready, but after hearing the news, he still felt a pang of angina, and even had the idea of throwing this bald head out of the window, "Are you sure, you shouldn't spy on him anymore, right?"
"Of course not. Sitwell shook his head decisively in denial. Internal controls have always been the norm for S.H.I.E.L.D., especially for employees with special abilities. Natasha used to be Tony Stark's life assistant, and Captain America suffered a change in his niece's Shura field, which was the result of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s internal surveillance.
And when Evenson was first discovered, Nick Fury had also kept him under surveillance for a long time. But the reason why this surveillance has been maintained for so long is not because those agents are lurking and have a strong ability to penetrate, but because Evenson tolerates those things.
Later, Nick Fury removed these construction points, because Evenson's elusive guy can't watch it at all, and people are clear about your surveillance plan, and there are ways to avoid you, and the so-called surveillance points are simply decorations, so it is better to take the initiative to remove them to show goodwill.
Later, Pierce learned that Evenson was the umbrella man, and it happened to be a special period, so he didn't think about resuming Evenson's surveillance, but he was afraid that it would be self-defeating. It's nothing, but you've stimulated people this day, and it's not good for him to notice something.
"We haven't directly identified Evenson in this incident so far, and we'll notice that he was also purely accidental. Sitwell said, pulling out a document from the folder and handing it to Pierce.
And Pierce took the document, just looked at it, looked up, and was a little confused: "You're kidding me, right?
Well, the obstacles caused by the police at the critical moment cannot be underestimated, and not long ago, when Rumlow led a team of eight people to search for Captain America, they were all arrested by the police, and one was killed on the spot. But this... What the hell is going on?
"Our consultant's car was detained by the patrol in New Jersey two hours before Captain America went to the old base, and there were at least a dozen tickets on it, as well as an arrest warrant for Evenson, so the police department sent a document and asked if we should bail the car out. ”
Sitwell gave an explanation, but Pierce's mind couldn't turn around. The time is so close and in the same state, if there is no connection between the two groups, it would be to kill Pierce, and I don't believe it!
That's right, Evenson has suffered in this area before, he was arrested by the police and held in the detention center overnight, and then he was bailed out by Coulson, Pierce was really surprised to hear about this, it was the first time he had seen such a law-abiding person... Such a person with such a special ability without style.
But there was nothing going on at that time, how urgent was it this time? Insight plan, to help Captain America break the S.H.I.E.L.D. grand conspiracy, how could he tolerate the police to detain his car? Brains broken, right?!
In fact, Evenson was not in the car at the time. Sitwell was also a little embarrassed when he talked about it: "The people who drive... Well... The thing that drove was the Habs. ”
"Habs?" Pierce thought about the name for a moment, "Did you say it wrong or did I hear it wrong? Habs seems to be the one raised by Evenson..."
"The dog. Sitwell nodded and said affirmatively, "It was the one who drove at the time, and it is said that the patrol officer who was in charge of the pursuit at the time is still doubting his life." ”
At 18:50, Officer Takahashi, a Japanese-American patrol officer of the New Jersey Police Department, noticed that a sleek off-road sports car had serious speeding, but what made him even more suspicious was that it seemed to be a husky in the driver's seat.
So Officer Takahashi immediately started the car and chased after it, and sure enough, he found that the driver was a man with black and white hair, wearing sunglasses and sticking out his tongue... Dog. After he struggled to digest this fact for nearly half a minute, he sounded the alarm and told me that the other party pulled over for inspection.
But I didn't expect this dog to flout the laws of the United States, not only did not stop, but also accelerated in gear, intending to escape and resist the law. Officer Takahashi chased after him, but he regretted that he didn't seem to be driving as well as a dog, and finally the dog was completely dumped after the dog used the water to drift at high speed and ran through the five-consecutive hairpin U-shaped corner.
Fortunately, he was not alone, and with the help of other patrol officers, he finally blocked the car in front. Officer Takahashi was deeply affected by this incident, and he was about to be promoted, so he resolutely resigned from his position and returned to Japan, preparing to go to a place called Mt. Akinayama to practice his driving skills, and then compete with this husky when he returns.
emmmm... Pierce was no less shocked when he heard all of this than Officer Takahashi. After a while, he struggled to clear his mind. After his face changed several times, he suddenly smiled at Sitwell and said, "You go and find a random agent to handle this matter, and get rid of all the tickets on that car, and by the way, bring out all the cars." ”
"Huh?" Sitwell never expected Pierce to react this way. You're not going to buy Evenson with this car, are you?
But Pierce pulled up his suit and said majestically, "That car used to be the car of the Red Skull, the leader of Hydra, so shouldn't I, who is about to establish a new order for this world, have this car?"
"Yes, sir. Sitwell smiled flatteringly, "I'll do it right away." ”
But as soon as Sitwell walked out of the office and closed the door, the smile on Pierce's face disappeared in an instant. As the boss, sometimes no matter how distressed he is, he can't show it in front of his subordinates, especially at this critical moment, he can't do anything to demoralize, and he must make a strong posture of victory.
But this also means that some things have to be figured out on your own. Evenson was involved in this, but he had already informed Captain America of his betrayal of S.H.I.E.L.D., and we are working hard to arrest him. Although Evenson is a member of the Avengers on the same track as him, he is not the kind of person who pays too much attention to emotions in terms of his personality.
At this time, Captain America went to ask for his help, and at most he turned a deaf ear and did not report it or help. However, he participated as much as he hesitated, which only showed that he knew the inside story, and even had insight into some details of the plan.
How did he know? Pierce, who was at a loss, slapped the table suddenly, Nick Fury! Yes, just before this guy died, he took Captain America and Evenson to visit the Insight hangar, and it must have been at that time that Evenson noticed that there was something wrong with the Insight plan, so he would help Captain America.
Nick Fury... Is this also expected for you?
And Evenson is involved, so it means that the umbrella must also be involved, and the Peggy Carter Hotel has also returned to Captain America's side. The strength of the resistance has been further strengthened.
But it's also strange to say, the umbrella has bottomless resources and unimaginably huge forces, under normal circumstances, when something so serious happens, Evenson should immediately mobilize these forces to launch a counterattack, but he ran to Captain America's side, this is... Prepare to use Captain America as a gunman!
Push Captain America to the front, get our full attention, and then he can secretly gather forces and deliver the fatal blow!
If that's the case, then I'm afraid that just one Winter Soldier and the Action Team won't be able to delay this period of time, and something must be taken!
Thinking of this, Pierce didn't hesitate to pick up the phone and dial a number, "Your Excellency, the matter is urgent, I don't want to do more greetings, I gave you the scepter, now it's time to return my favor, for the great cause of Hydra, I need your help!"
