Chapter 344: Attack on S.H.I.E.L.D. (2)
In the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters building, Nick Fury put down the phone in his hand, and according to the information gathered by his subordinates, there was no problem, but for some reason, that kind of ominous premonition always lingered.
He hesitated for a moment as he watched the TV screen at the upcoming United Nations General Assembly, and then walked out of the office, ready to go upstairs to talk to his old boss, Pierce.
When Nick Fury arrived on the floor where Alexander Pierce was, Pierce was having a video conference with the members of the Security Council, and when he learned that Nick Fury was visiting, he immediately interrupted the meeting and walked out.
"Wow, we're only forty floors apart, but you won't run to me without a big deal." Pierce said with a light smile.
"Even if a nuclear bomb explodes, I'll come, what? Busy? Nick Fury asked, glancing into the room.
"You know, these are extraordinary times," Pierce shrugged helplessly, "what's the matter?" β
"Yes, in fact, I am here for the current situation, and I want to talk to you." Nick Fury nodded.
"Of course, let's sit down and talk!" Pierce nodded when he heard this.
But before they could sit down, the reminder in Pierce's office suddenly rang again, attracting the two of them to the idea.
"Damn, God knows what the hell these people are doing" reminder device came from the council that had just interrupted the meeting, and Pierce couldn't help but frown.
"Maybe something unexpected?" Nick Fury hesitated.
"Whew, why don't you come with me, maybe it has something to do with you," Pierce nodded helplessly, and then invited Nick Fury.
As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury was already qualified to observe the council meeting, so he did not hesitate to follow Pierce into the conference room.
However, when the seats of the directors were lit up one by one in the conference room, the two found that there were four directors, and only three ...... appeared.
"Where's Director Malik?" Seeing this, Pierce couldn't help but ask...... That's right, the remaining director who didn't show up was none other than the other head of Hydra, Gideon Malik, who presided over Chris's hearing a few years ago, and he became a member of the Security Council last year.
"Director Malik can't attend the meeting because of something, and I will attend this meeting in his place" Just when Pierce was puzzled, the remaining screen finally lit up, and it was not Gideon Malik who was supposed to appear, but the US Secretary of Defense, John Keller.
"Minister Keller, this is the UN Council, not the Pentagon military conference, are you in the wrong place?" Pierce, who didn't know what was going on, quipped subconsciously.
"Minister Pierce, and Director Fury, it's just right that you're here, we have something very important to announce to you!" It was not John Keller who spoke, but another member of the Board of Trustees" and Secretary John Keller was present in place of Director Malik, also with the unanimous consent of the Board of Directors. β
"Unanimous agreement? Have you forgotten me? Well, let's hear it! Pierce couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and his tone was quite disdainful.
"Minister Alexander Pierce, and Director Nick Fury, your positions have been relieved, please stand where you are and don't leave, someone will soon come to accept everything from S.H.I.E.L.D.!" In the face of the disdain in Pierce's tone, John Keller announced with a facial expression.
βAre you kidding me?β Hearing John Keller's words, Pierce's face finally changed, and Nick Fury on the side also looked incredulous.
"I don't have time to joke with you, don't try to resist, or you won't be able to bear the consequences!" John Keller said with a straight face.
"Can I see why?" Nick Fury asked in a cold tone.
"Why? Hehe, this has to ask your old boss, don't you say? Mr. Pierce? Or rather, Hydra? John Keller said with a sneer as he looked at Pierce.
"What? That's impossible! Nick Fury said in disbelief, and then looked at Alexander Pierce on the side, but saw his face was iron-blue, and his heart couldn't help but feel cold.
"Minister Keller, is there any misunderstanding here? How could I be a hydra? Pierce said to himself.
"No need to quibble, Alexander Pierce, didn't you ask Gideon Malik if he couldn't come? Then I'll tell you that he has been arrested, along with Senator Stern, Daniel Whitehall, Straker, and Zola, who is hiding in an abandoned military base in New Jersey and has only a pair of data left, and Ophelia Sarkistan is at large...... And then there's you and the rats hiding in S.H.I.E.L.D.! With each name John Keller announced, Alexander Pierce's face darkened...... How is this possible?
In fact, there is nothing impossible about this, the reason why the hydra is difficult to eradicate is that one of the main reasons is that these snake heads do not interfere with each other, do not contact each other, from the outside world, there is nothing to do with each other, even if one is caught, the other one is basically not found.
It can only be said that Hydra was more unlucky to meet Chris...... With the true identity of these people, it is very easy for Chris to find someone, and there is only one Lady Hydra, because she is good at disguise and has no clue, and no one else wants to escape.
"Pierce, is what Minister Keller said true?" Nick Fury had been paying attention to Alexander Pierce's expression as John Keller spoke, and his hand involuntarily reached for the holster on his leg.
"Better not do that!" Just as Nick Fury pulled out his gun, one of the muzzles was already on Nick Fury's bald head, but it was Alexander's secretary...... Also, as one of the snakeheads of Hydra, how could Alexander let an outsider be his secretary?
"To be honest, I really don't want to see this," Alexander said with a shrug and a glance at Nick Fury, then looked at John Keller on the screen, "I'm really curious how you guys got such detailed information?" β
"It's not something you need to worry about, I advise you to stop struggling, Hydra is finished." John Kate said with a sneer.
Alexander Pierce frowned, and was about to say something, when the door to the conference room suddenly opened, and a team of agents led by Phil Coulson rushed in.
"Director, Minister, what are you?" Seeing the picture in the conference room, Phil Coulson couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this.
Seeing Coulson come in, Nick Fury was immediately happy in his heart, but the next moment his face darkened...... Although he was already darker.
Because without waiting for Coulson to say a word, a bald agent who was originally standing behind Coulson with glasses knocked him unconscious with an elbow, and several of the agents also attacked their colleagues one after another.
It was only after that that the bald agent walked over to Pierce's side.
"Sitwell! Are you also a Hydra man? Nick Fury said with a cold look at the agent.
However, Sitwell ignored Nick Fury at all, and instead asked Pierce, "Minister, now this is?" β
"Our identities have been revealed, and how did you get in?" Pierce looked at Nick Fury and sneered, then asked.
"The situation is not good, the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. is surrounded!" Sitwell said with a slight fluster.
Hearing Sitwell's words, Alexander Pierce walked to the window with a gloomy face, and then saw that both sides of the river bank had been completely blocked by a large number of troops, and even on the river, there were a large number of ships belonging to the coast guard.
"Got it? Pierce! You can't escape! John Kate said with a sneer through the screen.
ββ¦β¦ Can't escape? Hmph, since that's the case, let your people come! Chop off one head, grow two, and you will never be able to wipe us out completely! Faced with this desperate situation, Alexander Pierce suddenly laughed, "And you may not win, maybe a few of you don't know, right?" The first experimental ship of Project Insight has just been completed. β
Hearing Pierce's words, the faces of the other three directors except John Kate immediately changed...... Insight Plan! Of course they know what it is...... That's the news they got from Pierce in the past, which is still being verified, and it is still being verified, but it didn't come to pass, the first experimental ship has been completed?
And to think of the damage that that kind of weapon could cause once it was lifted into the air......
Alas? That's not right...... Even if it wants to destroy that thing after it lifts off, it's Washington who destroys, what does it have to do with them? After all, it is an experimental ship, and its power must be limited, and it is estimated that it will be shot down if it can't reach the mainland of the United States, so they don't seem to need to worry at all?
The three directors who understood immediately looked at John Keller with a gloating gaze.
Although today's incident is particularly aimed at Hydra, it is obvious that the completely infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. will definitely not be pleasing when it is time, and they, as members of the Security Council who monitor S.H.I.E.L.D., are afraid that they will inevitably be held accountable, so the three directors must be very unhappy in their hearts, especially when the United States notified them of several countries before, that attitude was very unkind, so they were also happy to see the Americans suffer.
For the expressions of the three directors, of course John Keller knew what they wanted, but he didn't care at all in his heart, since they had to deal with Hydra, how could they not do their homework? It's just an experimental aerospace carrier! If it hadn't been planned, he would have really wanted to put the Cang'er ...... The Autobot's spaceship, pull it out and slip on......
Of course, John Keller just thinks about it, after all, the battleship that will appear next is much more domineering than the Cang'er.
