Chapter 446: The Hydra Appears
2:09:59
This is the only little time before the start of the Insight Project, and in the underground dock of the Sanqu Wing Building, everyone is busy in an orderly manner, checking each procedure one by one to make sure that it is safe and correct, until the final launch begins.
At the same time, Alexander Pierce had already rushed to the first floor of the Sanqu Wing Building, and greeted the three men and one woman who had just stepped out of the car, all of whom were his colleagues in the International Security Council.
S.H.I.E.L.D. is a global organization that is part of the International Security Council and is a special force dedicated to dealing with bizarre events.
The International Security Council is composed of all the member countries of the United Nations, and the representatives of the United States, Britain, France, China, and Russia are high-level power figures, among which Alexander Pierce represents the interests of the United States.
The annual allocation and expenditure of S.H.I.E.L.D. must be reviewed by the International Security Council, and then all member countries in the United Nations jointly bear the burden, and among them, the US government needs to bear the largest share of funds, so the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D. has also been established in Washington.
Similarly, most of the forces and distribution bases of S.H.I.E.L.D. are also established in the United States, and he has a close relationship with the U.S. government, and many of S.H.I.E.L.D. employees are from the U.S. police department, the FBI, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Marine Corps, the Navy SEALs, and many other U.S. military intelligence agencies.
In some other countries, S.H.I.E.L.D. has more local agents at its local base, and of course, once the local government finds that its grasp of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s sub-bureaus is weak, then they will also resist S.H.I.E.L.D.'s mission.
At the invitation of Alexander Pearce, the representatives of the International Security Council of Britain, the United States, France, China, and Russia, who are here today have come to the headquarters building of the Triple Wing of S.H.I.E.L.D. in Washington to discuss some recent events.
The current director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury, was killed, and it was Captain America Rogers who was killed, and it was okay to deceive children, none of these tried and tested old foxes in politics believed Alexander Pearce's statement, and they needed him to give conclusive evidence.
Alexander Pierce also knew that these people were not good, but he didn't care, he only needed to perfunctory these people for another two hours, and when the Helicarrier took off, these people would be useless, of course, in order to prevent accidents, Pierce had already prepared in advance.
Before entering the Triple Wing building, he took a box from the hands of his agents for the second time, took out four badges from it, and handed one to each of the others, explaining, "This device is biometrically controlled, allowing you to get around here." β
The other four people did not suspect this, Nick Fury's management of S.H.I.E.L.D. was very effective, and the division management system allowed him to ensure considerable independence even under the invasion of Hydra, and entering each floor of the Three Curved Wing One Building required non-stop level clearance.
These members of the International Security Council do not have the corresponding authority in the headquarters building, and the badge given to them by Alexander Pierce is actually only a temporary high-level authority, and when they leave, they will be recovered again.
Alexander Pierce is extremely cautious, otherwise he would not have been able to hide his true identity for decades under the nose of Nick Fury, an old fox, and grow Hydra without arousing the slightest suspicion of Nick Fury, which shows his ability.
"I know it's going to be a bumpy ride, and some of you want to kick me out of the car." Pierce glanced at the four people present, several of them had the same status as themselves in their respective national S.H.I.E.L.D. branches, even if the Helicarrier was successfully lifted off and the insight plan began to be implemented, but once these old foxes noticed something unusual, they would immediately use their own authority to carry out a purge in their own S.H.I.E.L.D. branches.
The Insight Project is just the most basic part of a larger plan of Hydra, eliminating the threat is just one of the simplest purposes, they will rule the whole world next, and even dominate the universe, and the existence of these old foxes will cause great obstacles to Hydra's plan, bind them here, and when the plan is executed, they will also be the first to be eliminated, so as not to cause problems in the future.
A hint of sneer flashed in Pierce's eyes, and then he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the wonderful scenery of the Potomac River outside, Pierce raised the champagne in his hand and said with satisfaction: "We are all here today, the whole world should thank us, we ......"
Just as Pierce was about to say a lot of clichΓ©s, the voice of Captain America suddenly came to mind on the radio in the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. building: "All S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, please note, I'm Steve Rogers. β
Rogers' voice sounded, Pierce's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of panic, he smiled reluctantly at the others who were full of suspicion, while pretending to be listening to Rogers' speech, he quietly took out his mobile phone, and quickly issued orders to his subordinates to activate emergency measures.
Hearing Rogers' voice sound, most of the people in S.H.I.E.L.D. couldn't help but stop what they were doing, raised their heads blankly, and listened to Rogers' speech: "You have heard a lot about me in the past few days, and some of you have even received orders to hunt me down, now you should know the truth." β
At this time, Rogers was already in the aircraft control tower of S.H.I.E.L.D., led by Hill, and their group entered the aircraft control tower very smoothly, perhaps because the main forces of Hydra are now concentrated in the underground manufacturing plant and the helicarrier control hub, and they are not too concerned about these ordinary aircraft landing platforms on the periphery, so they and their group did not encounter too many difficulties.
And when Captain America, who is wearing this standard uniform, walks over with Hill, a Level 9 agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. who is second only to Nick Fury, as long as you are a serious S.H.I.E.L.D. employee, it is difficult for you to resist.
After all, Rogers has not been around for a long time, in the past nearly 70 years, the U.S. government has been constantly promoting his heroic deeds, stage plays, TV series, movies, how many people have watched him grow up, and as a "dead man", the government has exaggerated his propaganda, which makes him have extremely high authority within S.H.I.E.L.D., not to mention that he was once one of the members of the Strategic Legion, the predecessor of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Rogers looked serious, and at the same time said with a little sadness: "The current S.H.I.E.L.D. is no longer the S.H.I.E.L.D. we know, he has been taken over by Hydra, Alexander Pierce is their leader, as are the special operations team and the Insight Project team." β
Taking a deep breath, Rogers continued, "We don't even know who else is, but they're in this building, probably right next to you, and they've done almost everything they wanted, they've gained absolute control, and they've even assassinated Nick Fury. And that's just the beginning, if you launch these Helicarriers today, Hydra will be able to kill anyone who stands in their way, unless we stop them. β
These words made the faces of everyone in the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. change greatly, and everyone cautiously held their guns on them, always paying attention to the people around them.
However, compared to the prepared Hydra, Rogers' reminder was too late, the Winter Soldier had already led many elite gunners, lurking in the underground factory, and the moment he received Pierce's order, blood splattered in the three air carriers, and all non-Hydra members were immediately purged.
And in the launch control hub of the Helicarrier on the upper level, "Crossbones" Brock Rumro also surrounded this place with his special combat team, but compared to the underground factory, Rumro did not dare to kill here, after all, once such a technician rebelled, who knows what would happen!
For the special combat team, these technicians in the launch control hub have the least to do with Hydra, and there are not many Hydras among them, after all, they are just a group of otaku, and it is not worth their effort.
And it is such a group of otaku, but they are most deeply influenced by Captain America, when faced with Brock Rumrow holding a gun to his forehead and asking to send the spaceship to the sky, although the group of people trembled, but still said in a resolute voice: "I'm sorry sir, we can't issue those spaceships, this is Captain America's order." β
