Chapter 815: Divergent Path
Stark's words were very convincing, and the senior Pentagon officials and Security Council representatives who participated in the meeting were shocked, the tentacles of Hydra stretched so long, the world Security Council, parliaments, multinational companies, the military...
It can be said that there are people from all walks of life, who have far surpassed the Hydra during World War II, at least the Hydra during the Red Skull leadership period, and it is still a pure scientific research and military organization, but now Hydra has penetrated into the economy and politics.
Thinking about it this way, everyone's scalp is numb, the back is cold, the organization that has been hidden for decades, how many spies have been cultivated, and where are they lurking?
In intelligence warfare, it is common for one or two decades or even twenty or thirty years to not wake up, and Hydra, which is the other side of the most professional secret service organization, may also have buried a lot of similar chess pieces, living and working like normal people, and once it wakes up, it will be a killer move.
The hearing could not go on, and the delegates had to go back immediately to report the shocking facts, as well as arrange for someone to capture and interrogate the Hydra spy he had found, as well as to confirm whether the information was correct, and to see if they could follow these people to find more hidden spies.
Although no reason was discussed, Stark's 'bomb' was still very effective, and the World Security Council agreed to their nomination of Phil Coulson as the temporary director of S.H.I.E.L.D., subject to the strict supervision of the World Security Council.
During this period, S.H.I.E.L.D. will stop all non-essential actions, and the FBI, CIA, SOCOM (US Special Forces Command) will launch a strike against Hydra, and S.H.I.E.L.D. will only be responsible for providing intelligence support for the time being.
Coulson is very opposed to the last one, his most urgent thing is to eliminate Hydra as soon as possible and return S.H.I.E.L.D. to normal, but neither the Security Council nor the White House agrees with S.H.I.E.L.D. to carry out military activities again, because they feel that S.H.I.E.L.D., which has been infiltrated by Hydra for so long, may also have a problem, and it must be investigated.
Stark was silent in this regard, and did not express his opinion, which made the World Council breathe a sigh of relief, the Avengers are very small in number, but with their extraordinary members, they have become a force that is not well ignored on the world stage.
Those of them who play politics don't worry about Iron Man, because Tony Stark has too many constraints and constraints, and must abide by secular rules, including War Machine, Spider-Man, all of them, Hulk is an unstable factor, but Dr. Banner is quite easy to handle.
The only two 'thorns' are Thor and Kamen Rider, these two people are simply moving nuclear bombs, and they can't stand it on anyone. The Battle of the Covenant and the Battle of London, the performance of the two of them is obvious to all, and the slaughter efficiency in the face of the alien army is amazing.
Especially Kamen Rider, holding the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, killed thousands of Zetari armies in an instant, and in the Battle of London, it was a fleet of hundreds of dark elves in an instant, and the strength was beyond imagination, and I couldn't think of it even if I racked my brains, where did such a strong force come from in such a thin body.
If you want to deal with the two of them, you must ensure that you will be killed with one blow, otherwise no one can stand the next revenge, but fortunately, they have not behaved so far, and Tony Stark seems to be able to govern them, so all countries have taken a cautious and cautious attitude towards the Avengers.
In Avengers 2, Secretary of State Ross dared to swagger to retire the Avengers, isn't it because there are no Thor and Hulk? Everyone else has complex social relationships or is simply mortal, and these people dare not enter the White House or the Pentagon.
Try to throw Thor's face instead, anger him, and let you know in minutes what thousands of thunders fall from the sky and bombard the White House empty; Not to mention the Hulk, when he gets angry, he turns into a bulldozer, smashes and kicks wildly, and he doesn't even look at who you are, and if you come here, you will die.
Stark participated in a hearing, the end of the anticlimactic, the representatives of all parties packed up their things and went back to their homes, Stark also got up and walked out of the conference room, about to drive away, but was stopped by Rogers in the corridor, very sincerely: "Thank you for your help." ”
Rogers knew very well that the World Security Council and the White House finally relented, largely because of the attitude of the Avengers represented by Stark and the intelligence he brought, otherwise they would definitely want to change the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. who listened to them.
Stark turned around, looked at Rogers in casual clothes, and said, "No, this is what I promised Nick Fury, and now it's clear." ”
Rogers stopped, Stark's attitude towards him was still the same, he was a friend, but there were many opinions and contradictions, foreign enemies were coming, they could fight side by side, but the contradictions would not disappear because of this.
"I heard from Coulson that you and Grell wiped out several Hydra bases."
"Because I don't like octopuses either, it's much more comfortable to cut off a few tentacles."
Rogers nodded, and was silent for two seconds before he said, "Do you want to leave this to them?" ”
"When they can't, they naturally ask for help." Stark said in a flat tone, "Are you still going to ask them to let me help?" ”
Stark's nonchalant attitude made Rogers frown slightly, in his opinion, it is best for S.H.I.E.L.D. to clean up Hydra, after all, they are very familiar with each other, but the FBI and CIA know almost nothing about Hydra, and they may spend a lot of time and energy, but they can't do anything.
Stark seemed to guess what Rogers was thinking, took out his glasses from the pocket of his suit, put them on his eyes, and said: "In their eyes, S.H.I.E.L.D., which has allowed Hydra to hide for so many years, is also not trustworthy, and there may be speculation that it is Hydra or the power struggle within S.H.I.E.L.D. that led to the outbreak of this conflict, and it is absolutely impossible for S.H.I.E.L.D. to intervene at this time." ”
Rogers thought about Stark's train of thought, and suddenly realized that the development of things might be more serious than he thought, and there were an unknown number of hydras lurking in the government, the military and other departments, and some of them even occupied high positions.
These people are likely to define this conflict as a power struggle within S.H.I.E.L.D., there is no Hydra at all, before Alexander Pierce labeled Nick Fury with a bunch of hats such as corruption and duty crimes, and now Nick Fury's men have fought back and slandered Alexander Pierce's people as Hydra.
Or simply Coulson, they're also Hydra, it's a power struggle within Hydra... In short, muddying the waters, so that outsiders can't tell the difference between black and white, or at least have doubts, will make it difficult for S.H.I.E.L.D., which is not trusted by the top, and Hydra will have time to redeploy.
