Chapter 678: A Secret Meeting at the Secret Base
If he could, Nick Fury didn't want to convene this meeting so soon, but in just a week, through Ye Qianhu's memory extraction, he had already obtained a detailed list of people who felt a little incredible.
Hydra's infiltration of S.H.I.E.L.D. is really too thorough, the administrative department, the commando team, the agents active in the front line, the research department, and the logistics department, which is usually not very conspicuous, except for a few places that have not been infiltrated, almost every other department that Nick Fury can name is already full of Hydra's existence.
He wanted more time for him to find out how many Hydra people were still in these departments, and he needed more time to prepare for the cleansing of them. This is no longer a problem that can be solved by arresting dozens of people, the names of the Hydra spies that have been listed in the list, the high-level and grass-roots combined, have exceeded the incredible number of two thousand.
A department with at least two thousand spies is a joke, but that's what S.H.I.E.L.D. is facing. What's more, Nick Fury can be sure that the real number is definitely far more than two thousand.
It's a pity that he doesn't have much time left, the opponent is not a fool waiting for him to clean up, more than thirty agents are missing, and each of them is a middle and high-level agent, even if everyone seems to have disappeared for a period of time for a reasonable reason, but so many suddenly happen together, as long as you pay attention to it, you can naturally detect the unusualness in it.
And if these missing mid-to-high-level agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. are all people who belong to Hydra, then the meaning is even more unusual.
Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., 10 Classified Class.
Victoria Hand, with a pair of black-rimmed glasses, gives people the first impression of the kind of strong woman style that is very difficult to get along with. S.H.I.E.L.D. Level 8 Agent, in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D. operations.
Robert Gonzalez, an old man with a somewhat old-fashioned face and a tough style, but usually has a very gentle language and behavior. S.H.I.E.L.D. level 8 agent, the principal of S.H.I.E.L.D. academy, has been a member of S.H.I.E.L.D. since his youth, and has extensive contacts in S.H.I.E.L.D.
Phil Coulson, S.H.I.E.L.D. Level 8 agent, Nick Fury asked him to do whatever he wanted, he is in charge of field work.
And then there is Ye Qianhu, here his secrecy level is the lowest, level 7, and strictly speaking, he is not a person from S.H.I.E.L.D., but he has the title of advisor. Consultants, typical non-staff personnel, no salary, no bonuses, and S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't buy insurance.
That's all the people in the room, plus the initiator of the meeting, Nick Fury, that's five. Nick Fury's exact words, he can count the people he can trust on one hand. At this time, there are even fewer people he is willing to believe, people's hearts are unpredictable, whether they are enemies or not, it is not a list of Hydra spies that can be decided at all, and in the upcoming scalpel operation, the fewer core personnel involved except for the necessary ones, the better.
There are also two women who can participate in this meeting, and Peggy Carter doesn't want to come, after all, even if she doesn't participate in the meeting, with Ye Qianhu here, she can know what happened.
There is also Maria Hill, who is more classified than most of the people in the conference room, a Level 9 agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., who was left by Nick Fury to sit on the Helicarrier at sea, so to speak, a pair of eyes that are kept outside.
Nick Fury sat back in his chair, crossed his legs, holding a black-and-white photograph in his hand, and said: "This man refused to accept the Nobel Peace Prize, saying that peace is not an achievement, but a responsibility." β
Casually threw the photo on the conference table, revealing the middle-aged appearance of Alexander Pierce, the previous director of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the photo.
Nick Fury leaned forward, swept his eyes over the people on either side of the table, and said, "That's what caused me to have a crisis of confidence, so only a few of us attended this meeting." β
"Hand, Gonzaley, you must be wondering why Agent Faucer is here, and I'll be able to answer that shortly. L.D. is in a bad situation right now. β
Hearing this, Victoria Hand and Robert Gonzalez subconsciously glanced at Ye Qianhu, who was sitting at the end of the conference table, and did not say anything, waiting for Nick Fury's answer.
Before they came here, they didn't know anything about it, and they were suddenly secretly invited, and then went through a polygraph that was unpleasant enough to make them feel uncomfortable, and finally learned some information from Coulson's mouth.
Shocked, even suspicious of some conspiracy, but Nick Fury's appearance in front of them forced them to accept this fact.
"Half a month ago, when Agent Fokker first found me,.. L.D has been infiltrated by Hydra, and even the person who supported me in my current position was a member of Hydra, and I was in the same mood as you are now. β
"None of you here wanted this information to come true, and sadly, my findings point to the outcome we least want."
"After working with Agent Foxter, it took a week to ,.. The spies inside the L.D., these people are now being held in this base. β
"I've got a list from these people, Agent Fox, please do me a favor."
Ye Qianhu nodded, put the two folders in his hand on the table and slid them in front of Victoria Hand and Robert Gonzalez.
Behind them flipping through the documents, Ye Qianhu took over the topic of Nick Fury and continued: ".. There are high-level positions in L.D, and I believe that some of them are still your friends, and I regret this, but I don't know the heart of the person, don't I? β
"By selecting these people for interrogation, I have the list you have now. There is too little time and interrogation,.. Spies within L.D., but many of them are key nodes in Hydra's command transmission and control them,.. Most of the threats to L.D., and the next further purge will be discussed with you by Director Fury. β
At the conference table, Victoria Hand and Robert Gonzalez looked through the list of people in the document divided by department, and their faces couldn't help but be moved.
The Department of Field Service, the Department of Espionage, the Department of Strategy, the Department of Operations, the Department of Foreign Affairs, the Department of Research, and so on, plus Robert GonzΓ‘lez's S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy, none of the departments were spared from the Hydra infiltration activities.
The only thing to be thankful for is that, according to the available information, Hydra has no plans to develop new recruits in S.H.I.E.L.D. cadets, and its attitude towards S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy is more of surveillance.
"Smack!"
Victoria Hand slammed the folder shut, so much so that it made a crisp sound, which also drew everyone's attention to him.
Ye Qianhu met Victoria Hand's gaze and smiled, "Agent Hand, do you have any questions?" β
