"By the way, Director, what's the task?"

Hearing that it was Natasha who took over his work, Coulson nodded reassuringly, and his attention returned to the task he had just mentioned.

"Someone has found Steve's body under the ice, so lead a team to bring him back. ”

"Captain?"

Coulson's face was pleasantly surprised, his body trembled slightly with excitement, he had admired Captain America since he was a child, and even the sheets at home were in the style of the Stars and Stripes.

"Director, don't need to notify ......"

"No!"

Coulson's words were interrupted by Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., in a serious tone and a somewhat unkind expression.

Coulson understood that although Stephen Rogers was alone and had been dead for more than sixty years, some of his old acquaintances were still alive, and some of them were even excellent agents or members of the military, so it was reasonable that S.H.I.E.L.D. should inform them about this matter, and even invite them to go with him.

Even so, Nick still refused to inform them about it, and seeing that Coulson was a little puzzled, he explained: "I can't send you more people, and there is no room for failure to protect Stephen's body back to the United States, and you must be as cautious as possible." ”

"After all, frozen under the ice for nearly seventy years, Stephen's body is very well preserved!"

Rubbing the corners of his brows, Nick Fury nodded pointedly.

Coulson nodded knowingly, of course he could tell the difference.

The symbolism of the remains of the American team is too great, and the hydra rats who were frightened by the heroic posture and shrunk in the trenches may not have had the ghost idea of blaspheming the remains of the martyrs.

Moreover, as the perfect winner of the "Super Soldier Program", many people are afraid that they will be enthusiastic about the secrets in it.

If nothing else, if it weren't for the fact that the prestige of "Captain America" in the hearts of the people is too high, some powerful figures in the military may not have allowed the body of this "righteous man" to further "benefit" the United States.

Even if they don't dare on the surface now, what if the corpse of the American team is taken away by the "Hydra"?

S.H.I.E.L.D. also had no way to trace down in detail where some of the musculature and marrow bones used for research in the military's secret laboratories came from, and the other party had no obligation or need to explain to them.

"Director, we've had a big move lately?"

Hearing the shortage of manpower, Coulson immediately reacted, as a senior agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the confidant of the director, he has enough knowledge of the strength of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the major event of bringing back the remains of the American team is so embarrassing that he can't send enough manpower, obviously to prepare for a large-scale operation with a wide impact.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. will soon encircle and suppress the group of mutants in the Middle East, and the 'Brotherhood' will bear the brunt. ”

Knowing that Coulson was worried about the safety of the American team's remains, he wanted him to send more manpower, but S.H.I.E.L.D. was really overstretched now, so Nick Fury directly stated his difficulties.

There is no need to hide this kind of thing from Coulson, because this plan involves the cooperation of many countries and the dispute with the Security Council, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is semi-public.

"'Brotherhood'....... those two mutants are from the Brotherhood?"

Coulson hadn't read the information brought by Hilcha, but since his own director had deliberately named the name of the organization, he could guess the reason after a little thought.

"It's not two, it's three, and according to Tony's description and the information we've found out afterwards, the mutant who attacked him with the magnetic field is one of the two leaders of the Brotherhood, named Jimmy. ”

"Yes...... But we don't need S.H.I.E.L.D. to make such a big fuss, right?"

Although Coulson doesn't have a good impression of the extremists among the mutants, he doesn't think it's worth it for S.H.I.E.L.D. to make such a big deal out of it, and even put aside the matter of protecting the remains of the American team.

To put it mildly, the kidnapping was nothing more than the girlfriend of a black market mercenary, and Evan and Tony just happened to meet and were not seriously harmed.

Moreover, whether it is the location where Evan fought with the mutants, or the location where Tony was attacked and intercepted by the mutant leader, they are all in the remote suburbs, which does not bring much social harm to New York City at all.

The only thing that had some impact was that Evan posted a selfie in front of the abandoned warehouse after defeating the mutants, thus adding a little after-dinner conversation to the growing New Yorkers.

Of course, they did deserve to die, and Coulson was furious at his brutal killing of the four operatives.

To be sure, this number of casualties is not even comparable to the number of casualties in a single day of operations units stationed in the Middle East to protect ordinary people from mutants.

He is not opposed to retaliating against the other party and encircling and suppressing the other party, but he can't understand the reason why S.H.I.E.L.D. is making a big deal at such a critical juncture.

"Director ......"

"It's not fanfare, it's something that has to be done!"

Nick waved his hand, stopping what Coulson was about to say.

He knew that the other party was a little impatient because of the safety of Steve Rogers' body, but with this emotion, he couldn't complete the task.

"I understand what you're trying to say, Tony's attack is really suspicious, and the other party seems to want us to target the 'Brotherhood'. ”

"You haven't had time to read the information, and in fact, while the assailant looks and has the exact same abilities as Jimmy from the Brotherhood, I don't believe he did it. ”

"Our operatives stationed in the Middle East did not detect any information about his departure from the Brotherhood, and even half an hour after Tony's attack, he was detected by our probe satellites in the Middle East. ”

"However, the truth doesn't matter," Nick let out a disdainful sneer at this point: "The U.S. government thinks they did it, defines them as supernatural terrorists, and asks several countries in the Middle East that are heavily infested by mutants to accept their military 'aid' and military station!"

"This ......"

Coulson wasn't stupid, and Nick Fury figured it out as soon as he reminded him.

What the US government wants is not the so-called justice and accountability, but the rare mineral and oil resources of those countries in the Middle East, and as for the "attack" of Tony and Evan, it is just a pretext for them to prepare for war.

"The military, Congress, corporations, all of them are eyeing the fat of the Middle East, and the will of the American polity has begun to work, and this kind of thing cannot be stopped by Tony and Evan, nor can S.H.I.E.L.D. stop it. ”

Shaking his head helplessly, Nick Fury felt a little tired.

He is a pure idealist, but he has to compromise with politicians many times for the sake of reality, and sometimes he is eager for an alien spaceship to invade the earth, saving these politicians who only care about their immediate interests from fighting all day long because there is no external threat.

"Fortunately, Huaxia and Russia have an extremely tough attitude in this regard, insisting on leaving supernatural matters to us in accordance with the agreement when S.H.I.E.L.D. was formed, otherwise, even if we wanted to intervene, we would not be approved by the US government. ”

Coulson nodded, not saying anything more.

The director of his own bureau is right, the elimination of the "Brotherhood" and other mutant organizations in the Middle East is indeed the primary goal of S.H.I.E.L.D., and only by leaving the United States with no excuse to do so can we stop this war and curb the ambitions of that group of politicians.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Evan was involved in this incident, and Tony was attacked again, unless that group of mutants caused great turmoil in the United States like the "Drama Master", the United States would have been pushed back by other countries in the Security Council if they were trying to find an excuse to start a war.
