Chapter 079: The Situation (Part I)
'S.H.I.E.L.D.' headquarters, in the office on the top floor.
"Fury, I'm really passive when you mess around like this, the committee is now questioning my control over 'S.H.I.E.L.D.'......" As the former director of 'S.H.I.E.L.D.'", Alexander Pierce, who is now appointed by the 'World Security Council' as the Minister of World Security, and oversees all departments under the 'World Security Council', rubbed his temples and said with a headache.
Opposite him is none other than the current director of 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' - Nick Fury!
"Pierce, the resurgence of Hydra, do you need me to explain it to you? You've been in my position longer than I have, and I'm sure you'd make the same decision if you replaced me. Nick Fury said in a deep voice.
"Of course I understand the danger of Hydra, but the committee guys will never understand this, all they need is a stable 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' to sweep away all discord for themβ" Pierce sighed.
"I'm sure you'll have a way, you're Pierce." Nick Fury said.
"Don't pour me ecstasy soup." Pierce laughed and scolded, "You bastard is so unscrupulous that I'll wipe your ass, right?" I beg you, can you give me a breeze before doing this kind of thing in the future, so that I can be a little more prepared, so that I don't have to be directly approached by the committee like I am now. β
"No problem, I'll let you know next time." Nick Fury said directly.
Pierce smiled and shook his head, knowing that most of what he said was in vain, he thought for a moment before continuing, "Then do you have any plans next?" β
"People who have suspicious points on the surface have been found out, but with the style of 'Hydra', if it really resurges, it is impossible to leave only Garrett as a line, and there is definitely something that cannot be found out for the time being...... But this time, it's only a secret investigation, and it's impossible to really lock everyone up and investigate one by one, if we really want to do that, the 'Hydra' hasn't been caught yet, and we will collapse first." Nick Fury shrugged.
"I know, then this matter will be handed over to you, if there is anything you need my help with, feel free to tell me, even if there are violations, I can help you think of a way." Pierce said, winking at Nick Fury with his right eye.
"I'll do it, don't worry." Nick Fury smiled as well.
After a few casual small talks, Nick Fury left Pierce.
As he left, a bald man emerged from the back of Pierce's office, recognizable to Coulson if he was there, as his old friend, Agent Sitwell.
"Sir, do you think he's aware of it?" Agent Sitwell asked.
"Ephry's personality is now the subject of suspicion for everyone, including me...... However, it is precisely because of this that he does not dare to act rashly without absolute evidence. Pierce leaned back in his chair, not looking very worried.
"That's good." Agent Sitwell breathed a sigh of relief.
"What about the others, there's no mess." Pierce asked again suddenly.
"It doesn't matter, although Garrett's side is exposed, but except for himself, others don't know how many people are lurking in the bureau at all, as long as Garrett doesn't say it, others don't know who to betray even if they want to rebel." Sitwell smiled.
"Well, that's good." Pierce nodded, paused, and muttered, "You don't have to move around lately, do your own job, lest you be noticed that something is wrong." β
"I understand." Agent Sitwell bowed slightly.
Pierce is the supreme leader of Hydra in the S.H.I.E.L.D., and he is Pierce's henchman, the intermediary Pierce uses to connect with others. The position of a sixth-level agent is not considered a high-level sequence, but it is not too low, and it is not very noticeable.
It is worth mentioning that although Pierce is the supreme leader of 'Hydra' lurking in 'S.H.I.E.L.D.), THERE ARE FEW PEOPLE WHO KNOW HIS DUAL IDENTITY.
Even if you add Garrett, who has been exposed, and Sitwell, the number one henchman, there are less than ten people in total, and they can be counted on both hands, and most of them are high-level agents, even if they are exposed, they can't be dealt with by torture.
So Pierce wasn't really worried that he would find out that something was wrong.
However, Garrett can be regarded as the boss of one of the series of 'Hydra' lurking on the side of 'S.H.I.E.L.D.), and Garrett's exposure this time really gave Pierce a headache.
Although 'Hydra' claims to never be killed, and two will pop up after killing one, but that's just a slogan, how can it really not be killed, if that's the case, you don't have to play any Infernal Affairs, just stand up and completely subvert 'S.H.I.E.L.D.'."
However, the reality is that 'Hydra' as a whole is still much weaker than 'S.H.I.E.L.D.', so I have to play this kind of stealth game.
Although Garrett's exposure this time will not make the 'Hydra's plan completely fail), it is equivalent to the loss of nearly one-third of the hidden personnel.
"Also, if you have the chance, figure out how Garrett was exposed, Garrett has no mission at all recently, it is impossible to be exposed for no reason like this, there must be something that we don't know about has happened." Pierce said suddenly.
"Yes!" Agent Sitwell replied again.
β¦β¦
While Pierce was chatting with Agent Sitwell, two other people were chatting in the underground interrogation room of S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters
One of them is Garrett, an eighth-level agent who has just revealed the identity of 'Hydra', and the person he chats with is none other than Agent Coulson, who pulled him out.
"This seems to be the first time you have come to see me since I was arrested, are you planning to give me a bloody interrogation yourself?" Garrett, who had conspicuous scars on his face, didn't look nervous at all, and looked at his old friend sitting across from him, as if he were chatting about home.
"I told them a long time ago that torture doesn't mean anything to you, but Director Fury still ordered you to do it all......" Coulson said helplessly.
"Heh, why do you need to remind Fury, of course he knows that torture is useless for me." When Garrett heard Coulson's words, he couldn't help laughing, "He's just venting, because he knows better than anyone else, and the clue will be broken when it comes to me, and there will be no more follow-up." β
PS: The first update, there are two more shifts today, I continue.
