Chapter 394: Brush up your reputation? Who wouldn't?
"I'm afraid Director Fury is too worried, the Spear Bureau is not S.H.I.E.L.D., and I won't see the other party as a threat because some people are not controlled, in fact, gentlemen, haven't you noticed that after the dissolution of S.H.I.E.L.D., you have much less pressure from other aspects?" Faced with Nick Fury's prickly words, Chris chuckled and asked rhetorically.
Listening to Chris's words, many people present were immediately stunned and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Because what Chris seems to say is indeed the truth, especially Mr. Fantastic, Reed and Tony Stark and James Roddy feel it the most.
In the past period of S.H.I.E.L.D., whenever Tony Stark and the Fantastic Four fought in New York, there would always be some pressure against them, and there would be pressure from all sides, especially the official power, and the willingness was nothing more than that they had superhuman power.
James Roddy, in particular, is under the most pressure because of his special relationship with Stark.
But after the disbandment of S.H.I.E.L.D., these superheroes have "acted chivalrous" a lot, but the pressure they need to face from all walks of life is indeed much smaller, not only official, but also in public opinion, which is something they have to admit.
"All along, you superheroes, for various reasons and with your own ideals, have embarked on the path of protecting the world and protecting the safety of our compatriots from threats, but you have been monitored, controlled, threatened by S.H.I.E.L.D., and the pressure they exert on you through all aspects...... And all this is simply because you have powerful lethal force in your hands, and you are not under their control! Because they are afraid that one day you will use the force you have at your disposal against them! Chris continued, "But unlike the Spear Bureau, we don't see you as a threat, because we know that you are righteous, and as long as you don't do anything that endangers the security of the world, we will only treat you as ordinary people. ”
In just a few words, Chris directly raised the spear bureau and belittled S.H.I.E.L.D., but it is impossible to refute it, because the difference between the two is indeed the same when it comes to attitudes towards superheroes.
But Nick Fury knew that it was just Chris stealing concepts.
Whether it is Shenlance or S.H.I.E.L.D., there is no difference in nature, and the reason for the difference in attitude towards superheroes is simply caused by the complete disparity of the resources at the disposal of the two sides.
In the past, S.H.I.E.L.D., in terms of small-scale frontal force, was at an absolute disadvantage compared to superheroes in many cases, and because superheroes did everything just, they were forced by public opinion and could not use large-scale force to use force against these superheroes, so they could only exert pressure on these superheroes through monitoring, co-optation, social pressure and other means, so as to avoid them suddenly causing excessive harm to society one day. But this has also largely contributed to the antagonism between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the superheroes, and the presence of Hydra and some of their secret and drastic behaviors, have exacerbated these situations.
But the current Spear Bureau is different, Nick Fury studied a lot of reasons why he fell into this situation after the dissolution of S.H.I.E.L.D., and finally he came to the conclusion that in addition to Hydra, the biggest reason is Chris.
Although he has not found any evidence so far, his keen sense of smell has made him aware of many things, all of which are inseparable from Chris, several sudden rise of great powers, the explosive growth of earth technology, the dissolution of the United Nations, the establishment of UED, the sudden emergence of Overwatch, the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra, the establishment of the Spear Bureau, all of which seem to be controlled by a giant hand behind it.
Onlookers are clear, the previous Nick Fury has actually realized something, but because he is limited by the position of the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., the birth period is trapped in the power struggle, so it is not so clear, but after asking for the shackles of S.H.I.E.L.D., coupled with Captain Marvel's reminder, he finally found out that all of this is inseparable from Chris.
And if his guess is correct, then it means that Chris has an extraordinary and terrifying energy in his hands...... If S.H.I.E.L.D. said a little exaggerated in the past, it was only monitoring the world, but Chris is really controlling the direction of the entire earth!
This also means that Chris has enough force in his hands to ignore the threats of those superheroes...... Not to mention anything else, just one Overwatch, just pull two out at random, and you can beat most of the superheroes except Captain Marvel.
This also means that superheroes are not much different from ordinary American citizens with guns for the current Spear Bureau...... Does S.H.I.E.L.D. care if an average U.S. citizen has a gun or not? Not to mention S.H.I.E.L.D., even the township police station won't care.
This is the result of the asymmetry of resources on both sides.
"That's right, in the past, S.H.I.E.L.D. was dealing with this matter, and there was indeed a big problem with it, including that I personally made a lot of wrong decisions, plus I was not able to detect the threat of Hydra in time, which caused some regrettable things to happen, so the dissolution of S.H.I.E.L.D., as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the past, has an unshirkable responsibility, and now I am aware of this, so I have chosen another way, that is, to bring together the most outstanding people in the world, Let them play a bigger role in the fight against threats that we can't solve. Although he knew that Chris was secretly changing the concept, Nick Fury not only did not refute, but chose to take the initiative to take all the responsibility, which made the members who originally joined the Avengers, but because of Chris's words, they had a little bit of a good impression, and even the ancient one and Thor and others who had been listening were also happy in their hearts.
It's just that when talking about the unsolvable threat, Chris keenly noticed that Nick Fury's gaze was completely on him...... Hey, is this treating him as a so-called great threat?
Not to mention, Chris really guessed right.
After realizing the great power that Chris may have in his hands, Nick Fury's desire to build an Avenger is stronger than ever!
It's not about revenge...... Although when he was in the position of director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury also did a lot of disgraceful things, but even Chris had to admit that his starting point was always from the perspective of maintaining the security of the world, not for his own selfish desires, in this regard, Chris thinks that he is not as good as Nick Fury.
It's just that the agent's occupational illness makes Nick Fury subconsciously think about the problem from the worst perspective.
Because if all of this is controlled by Chris behind it, then what is Chris's purpose in doing this?
Wealth? Status? These things are all at his fingertips for Chris now, and they are worthless.
Nick Fury found himself completely unable to see through Chris, and because he couldn't see through, he was even more frightened and worried...... He was afraid that Chris would ask for more.
As he said, the reason why he wanted to establish the Avengers was to deal with those threats that ordinary people could not fight, and obviously, Chris now is the biggest threat in his opinion.
And he came today with the Avengers Alliance, which was finally established, and he didn't come to fight against Chris, Maria Hill and the Spear Bureau, in addition to really coming to deal with those demons, he also deliberately came to warn Chris, I'm staring at you at any time and ever! The Avengers will also be staring at you.
If Chris really has a bad heart, then he will definitely have some scruples in doing things in the future, or take the initiative to take action against the Avengers, so that he may discover the secrets and purposes that Chris is hiding...... In the past, he was in the light and Chris was in the dark, and now it is Chris in the light and he is in the dark.
However, as for Nick Fury's thoughts, Chris can only say that his persecution rhapsody really needs to be cured...... He's really going to be bad for the earth, you guys have already died a hundred times, okay?
And in fact, he really doesn't care about the Avengers jumping out on their own, why did he not let ordinary people get involved in this matter before? Not to minimize casualties?
But these people want to find death themselves, and he doesn't need to stop them, right?
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Chris applauded and said, "It's wonderful, and you're so brave, it would be too impersonal for us to stop it, but there are some things that need to be clarified!" ”
"Colonel James Roddy, Lieutenant Sam Wilson!" Chris shouted.
"What's the matter, sir!" Hearing Chris shout their names, the two were slightly stunned, but they still stood up and asked.
"I now convey to you an order from the Ministry of Defense!" Chris said, took out two papers, handed them to each of them, "You two have been expelled from the military because of violating military regulations!" ”
After taking the documents and confirming the authenticity, the faces of the two were a little ugly, although they had expected this situation when they were persuaded by Nick Fury to join the Avengers, but it was still a little unacceptable when it really came to this time, after all, both of them were officers, not ordinary soldiers, and the difference in this feeling was even greater.
"In view of the reason for what you did, I persuaded the military or the Federation, and gave up the investigation of the responsibility of the two for stealing the property of the Federation, and now the battle clothes on your body are your own, since you have chosen this path, then you can do it well, so you can do it yourself!" Chris patted the two on the shoulder and said.
"Thank you, sir!" When they heard Chris's words, they were still immersed in the heaviness of being expelled from the military, and the two couldn't help but be stunned, after all, stealing equipment is such a thing, it is really a big crime to be investigated, so it has been exposed so lightly? immediately gave a military salute to Chris, and at the same time was very good for Chris's image.
And Nick Fury on the side was eyelid-jumping, wanting to use the Avengers to balance Chris, it was really not so easy.
However, Chris didn't bother to pay attention to Nick Fury, and after conveying the orders of the Ministry of Defense to the two men, he turned his attention to Captain America, Steve Rogers.
"I'm sorry, Chris, but I just want to do what I think I should!" Facing Chris's gaze, no matter how firm the belief of the American team is, it can't help but feel a little embarrassed at this time...... Because speaking of which, he and Chris are really good friends, and Chris's friend is really good to him, saying that his life was saved by the other party, and he also gave him a house, helped him completely eradicate the hydra, and even rejuvenated Peggy Carter, helped him fulfill his long-cherished wish more than sixty years ago, and helped him treat his good brother Bucky.
The only thing that made him feel a little dissatisfied was that after the establishment of the Spear Bureau, he was only appointed as an instructor of the action team and completely cut off field work...... And this used to be because he told Chris that he just wanted to live a peaceful life and didn't want to fight anymore!
But then he realized that he couldn't let go of everything, just as he had told Dr. Erskine decades earlier, that although he didn't want to kill anyone, he couldn't sit idly by in the face of a crisis......
No one had told him about the various missions of the Spear Bureau before, and he just pretended not to know, but when Nick Fury found him, he couldn't sit still.
At first, he directly applied to Maria Hill and Peggy Carter for this mission, but both of them knew that this mission was really not suitable for the American team to participate, after all, the enemy this time was really not something that he could deal with as a reinforced soldier...... It's not decades ago, there was only one American team a few decades ago, but now without a shield, even Peggy Carter can hang him.
And at this time, Chris suddenly disappeared again, and he couldn't be contacted, so after a night of thinking, he finally disobeyed Maria Hill's order and Peggy Carter's request, and chose to temporarily join Nick Fury's Avengers to participate in this crisis, and in order to avoid implicating his good brother Bucky because of himself, he simply used his authority to take Bucky away directly, at this time Bucky has completed the treatment and will no longer be affected by the Hydra code order, Basically, he can go about his normal life, and he has recovered most of his memories, but because of his past experiences, he is still the subject of restricted activities.
Of course, he will never know what he was brainwashed and controlled by Chris in addition to Hydra, and in his subconscious, it would only be what Hydra asked him to do.
"No need to explain, Captain, I know everything, I didn't say you were wrong, I can understand you, we're friends, aren't we?" Faced with the explanation of the American team, Chris waved his hand and said.
"That's great!" Hearing Chris's words, the American team suddenly relaxed, but Chris's next words made him embarrassed.
"But understanding doesn't mean agreeing, you violated the rules of the Spear Bureau after all, so you were also expelled" Chris changed his words, and then said to the American team with a somewhat strange face, "In addition, Ms. Carter is very disappointed in you!" ”
Regarding the fact that the American team escaped from the Spear Bureau with Bucky and chose to join the Avengers, Chris received a notice from Peggy Carter when he just returned to Earth, but he didn't care too much about this kind of thing.
But in the next complaint of Peggy Carter, Chris heard some unexpected information, that is, Chris originally wanted adult beauty, and then let Carter tie up the American team's idea failed...... Because in addition to completing the agreement to dance a dance that was more than 60 years late, the two were not able to continue the front edge at all.
