Chapter 194: Deputy Director
"Natasha Romanoff!"
On this day, Black Widow had just gotten off work from S.H.I.E.L.D., and was far away when she saw a man in a jacket sneakily guarding the door of her house.
"You are..."
The black widow looked at it, and the more she looked at the man, the more familiar she became, and after a while, she dared to recognize: "You are Elijah, why are you here?" ”
Ilya, who was also a famous agent of the Red House back then, was active in Eastern Europe at the end of the Cold War, and during the internal training stage, Ilya also pursued her, but Natasha did not agree.
Ninety-one years later, with the end of the Cold War, Ilya also disappeared.
Some people say that the political situation in the Soviet Union after the collapse was corrupted, and there were high-ranking intelligence bureaus who rebelled and betrayed Ilya, which led to his secret killing.
Back then, inside the Red House, there was also a chase meeting for Ilya, which caused everyone to be in danger for a while, and Black Widow was also disheartened by the Red House since then, and was soon joined by Hawkeye.
"It's me, Natasha, we haven't seen each other in more than ten years."
Ilya looked to be in her forties, and she looked very depressed, no different from the homeless people on the street.
Black Widow is not a particularly nostalgic person, and besides, her friendship with Ilya back then was average, and she couldn't guess how Elijah, who should have died, suddenly appeared in front of her, just out of the vigilance of the agent, which made her instinctively guarded.
"Ilya, who are you working for now?"
Black Widow frowned slightly, although Ilya's espionage work was not as good as her, she was also a high-level agent, why was she so depressed now.
Ilya sighed and replied: "I don't have a job, I am currently living in seclusion in Panama, this is also no way, I have long been a dead person, how dare I still be active in the market, you must know that I made a lot of movements in Eastern Europe back then, and many people wanted me to die." ”
"Yes, everyone said you died, how did you survive?" Black Widow Natasha hesitated: "You dare to come to me?" ”
"It's a long story."
Ilya organized a language? Only then did he say: "I was betrayed by the top back then? Caught in a mortal situation, fortunately I am generous on weekdays? I like to make more friends. ”
"Capture my agent? There's a friend of mine who can't bear to give me away? So they co-acted with me in a play, and I've been incognito ever since? The outside world thinks I'm dead. ”
"As for coming to you this time..."
Ilya's tone was slight: "Originally, I was going to hide for the rest of my life?" But I got married in Panama, and now I have children and a family. ”
"When I absconded, I left in a hurry, and I didn't bring much money with me? Some time ago? My youngest son was diagnosed with congenital leukemia and needed to spend a lot of money to get his bone marrow replaced, and I couldn't come up with the money at all, so I thought of you. ”
Natasha frowned, only when Ilya was crazy about money.
They haven't seen each other in years? Ilya wanted to ask her for help, and she was not obligated to do so.
"Didn't I ask you for help? Rather, there is a top-secret document to sell you. ”
Ilya is also an agent and quickly senses Natasha's emotions? Said bluntly: "I heard that you quit the Red House and joined an organization called S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Happened? This information is about S.H.I.E.L.D.? I wasted all the hard work to get it, and I even suspect that what happened later was because I got this document. ”
After Ilya finished speaking, she opened her clothes and took out a brown paper bag from inside.
Natasha was a little speechless, Ilya has been missing for more than ten years, what is the use of S.H.I.E.L.D. intelligence more than ten years ago to the current S.H.I.E.L.D.
Just out of curiosity, Natasha did not refuse, stretched out her hand; "Show me."
"No, this document can sell for a lot of money." Ilya shrank back: "I can give you the papers, but I want two million dollars, believe me, this information is definitely worth the money, it is about your former director of S.H.I.E.L.D." ”
"Pierce?" Natasha raised an eyebrow.
"Yes."
Ilya affirmed, "Alexander Pierce, former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. ”
Night.
S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.
"Got it all figured out?"
"It was found out that in the summer of 1991, Director Pierce spent some time in Eastern Europe and attended a local meeting, which was exactly what Ilya said."
Nick Fury, the one-eyed dragon, sits on the throne of the director.
Natasha stood not far away, and on the table separated from them, there was a stack of old photos.
In the photo, Pierce is attending a party, which is not simple, and everyone is wearing a ring on their hand.
If you zoom in a hundred times, you can vaguely see a skull mark on the ring, which is the symbol of the Hydra.
"Hydra, I thought that after World War II, this organization would be destroyed."
Nick Fury's eyes flickered, looking at Pierce, who looked like stars holding the moon in the photo, and whispered to Natasha: "Check it up, remember to be careful, don't act rashly." ”
In fact, during his years as director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury has secretly sensed that there is still some kind of power within S.H.I.E.L.D.
It's just that he has no direct evidence, some are just suspicions, and this photo of Pierce attending the Hydra party made him a little more sure from his suspicions, and there was indeed a problem within S.H.I.E.L.D.
A few days later.
Headquarters of the World Security Council, Pierce's Office.
"It's been a long time since I've called you to come to my office to sit down, how is it, have things been going well in S.H.I.E.L.D. lately?"
The two sides sat down, and Pierce waved his hand and motioned for the secretary to go out first.
Wang Tian sat aside, picked up the red wine on the table and poured some for Pierce, and said with a smile: "It's not bad, we are currently cooperating with the anti-terrorism department of the United States to prepare for the arrest of the fourth leader of al-Qaeda." ”
S.H.I.E.L.D. is not a purely American organization, although its headquarters are in New York.
More precisely, S.H.I.E.L.D. is a world organization, and just like the World Health Organization, all countries need to pay their dues to it in order to keep the organization running.
In disguise, S.H.I.E.L.D. will also assist various forces to do some tasks to fight terrorists, rescue hostages, and monitor special populations.
Under normal circumstances, S.H.I.E.L.D. needs to obey the unanimous orders of the World Security Council, and the five representatives of the Security Council are the five permanent members of the United Nations.
In this way, you vote, I vote, I vote, you oppose, and it is not easy to agree, more often S.H.I.E.L.D. operates on its own and has its own code of conduct, after all, at the beginning of the establishment of S.H.I.E.L.D., it was to prevent World War III and aliens.
"You're doing well over there, but I'm miserable here."
Pierce looked at me with scrutiny: "I've been targeted these days, our one-eyed dragon director pays special attention to my whereabouts, and he is also very concerned about my body, and even my files in the medical insurance system have been accessed by the head of your intelligence department." ”
"When did this happen and why did it happen?" Wang Tian frowned and said, "Our whereabouts have always been very secretive, and we shouldn't be discovered." ”
Pierce looked at it for a while, and found that Wang Tian's gaze was very honest, so he nodded and said: "I think so too, maybe our recent actions are too big, and during this time, we have replaced a large number of low-level commanders with our people, which may have aroused the alarm of some people." ”
Wang Tian asked, "Do you need me to do anything?" ”
"Take control of your operations department, and notify me immediately if there is any trouble."
"No matter what they want to do, it is impossible to completely bypass you, there will always be clues, I want you to find out as soon as possible, what those people in the intelligence department are investigating and why they are targeting me."
"In addition, I heard that you transferred Grant away, I have met him, he is a very thoughtful young man, for the new generation, we must always give more opportunities."
Pierce never mentioned Grant's identity, let alone had a showdown with Wang Tian.
Wang Tian also pretended not to know, and replied: "It's just an ordinary person, I am still more optimistic about Grant, and it would be better if I practiced more." ”
"That's it!" Pierce didn't say anything more, and changed the subject: "You have to worry about the affairs within S.H.I.E.L.D., and when our plan is successful, you will be the deputy director of S.H.I.E.L.D." ”
"Playing for you is what I should do."
Wang Tian smiled on his face, and thought like honey in his heart: "The deputy director of Rolling Nima." ”
