S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters, Conference Room.

Alexander Pierce tapped his fingers on the table, it was hard to imagine that the former head of S.H.I.E.L.D. would be a Hydra.

He was once Nick Fury's chief, single-handedly promoting him to the position of director, and he has also served as a key leader in the national security service, frequenting the White House and now serving as an adviser to the World Security Council.

Under a series of shining halos, it would be the high-ranking personnel of Hydra, which is undoubtedly a wonderful irony.

"Is the Winter Soldier's mission accomplished?" He put on a tiny headset and communicated through an encrypted channel.

Due to the strong request of the World Security Council, Nick Fury opened up some of the permissions of the S.H.I.E.L.D. database, which made the "Project Insight" surface.

This aroused the alarm of Alexander Pearce, if this was really done for Nick Fury, and the global surveillance and tracking was realized, then there would be no place for Hydra again.

So he decided to strike first and get rid of the black chief who was in the way, and when S.H.I.E.L.D. was leaderless, out of his prestige and ability, Pierce would undoubtedly take over the position.

"The operation failed, and the Winter Soldier disappeared." A voice came from the other end of the headset.

The Winter Soldier who caught Nick Fury suddenly couldn't find a trace, and the signal of the positioning device implanted under the skin disappeared, which made Hydra feel inexplicable, and for a long time, this brainwashed killing machine has never made any mistakes.

"Rubbish!" Pierce slammed the table hard, a rare look of anger, "The Winter Soldier doesn't matter! Nick Fury is the key! Be sure to find him! ”

Without the super soldiers, Hydra can continue to manufacture, but the black bureau chief who was captured with great difficulty is a rare and important bargaining chip, and the other party has a large number of core secrets of S.H.I.E.L.D., which has incomparably great value.

Pierce knew that Fury was very vigilant and suspicious, and would never fully trust anyone, even Agent Coulson, who was a confidant, Maria Hill, would have reservations.

So he didn't kill the one-eyed black man in the first place, just wanted to pry out more secrets from the other party's mouth, and when it came to torture and mental brainwashing, this is of course Hydra's forte.

"Before Nick Fury was captured, he sent an encrypted message to Steve Rogers." The second piece of bad news followed.

Pierce looked solemn, Captain America was an old rival of Hydra, and Red Skull was lost at the hands of the other party at the beginning, almost wiped out along with the entire organization.

Later, the Strategic Science Corps, the predecessor of S.H.I.E.L.D., launched the "Paperclip Project", recruiting some German scientists to absorb and digest as the fruits of victory, which also gave Hydra a great chance to come back to life.

"Bring Captain Rogers here." Pierce took off his headset, and since the plan had gone alight, he had to deal with it.

Twenty minutes later, Captain America in the Stars and Stripes uniform arrived in the conference room, and Pierce was the only one waiting in the large room.

"I'm Alexander Pierce, it's a pleasure to meet you, my father used to be in the 101st Airborne Division, and he often told me about your heroic deeds."

Pierce lifted his glasses, as a high-ranking agent, he was well versed in all kinds of psychological tactics. To deal with the famous Captain America, you must not use such brutal means as coercive threats.

"This picture was taken five years after I knew Nick, when I was in the Colombian State Department, the local National Liberation Army (JIE) released troops to occupy the embassy, the guards helped me escape, but the rebels took the hostages, and Nick, the head of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s security outside the country, came up with a plan to carry out a raid through the sewers to rescue the trapped government officials."

Pierce said to himself, with a faint look of nostalgia on his face, as if he was immersed in the emotions of the past.

Steve looked at the photo and was silent, he was never a good communicator, so he just listened quietly.

“…… I vetoed the plan of action, saying that sooner or later the rebels would negotiate, but to the surprise of the rebels, they ordered the killing, and they swept the basement, which was empty...... Nick didn't follow my direct orders, he took matters into his own hands, completed his mission, and rescued more than a dozen government officials, including my daughter, in one fell swoop. ”

"Captain, I never regretted promoting Nick and putting him in the position of director, in fact he did do a better job than me."

Pierce's eyes remained motionless, staring at Captain America, and said with a serious expression: "I want to know the true content of that message." ”

Steve's eyes flickered with a sudden remark, he was not good at lying, and he couldn't fool a high-ranking agent.

But thinking of Nick Fury's message in the message, he still chose to remain silent.

That's not to say that Steve doesn't trust Alexander Pearce, a middle-aged man with glasses and an impeccable track record that no one can question.

But Steve doesn't think he's a smart guy, and he'll just take the tasks he is told to do, just as he did on the battlefield seventy years ago.

"You may not know that Nick has installed a surveillance in your house, along with the quarantined female neighbors, who are agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Pierce's attempts to break down Captain America's psychological defenses don't seem to work, and Steve looks calm and shows no signs of anger.

"Sir, the current situation is very urgent, and I have to rush to investigate the killer." Captain America stood up, ready to get up and leave.

"My appointment as an advisor to the Council was not of my own choosing, but Nick's own request, because we are both realists, and we both understand that if we want to build a better new world, we need to destroy the old world, and that makes enemies."

Pierce sat motionless in his seat, his fingers tapping on the table with a "thump" sound.

"Others will say that you are shameless and dirty, because you do not hesitate to do unseemly things, just to create a better world in your heart." His tone turned cold. "Captain, before Nick disappeared, he only contacted you alone - he trusted you."

"And I want you to give me some credit, maybe this will allow S.H.I.E.L.D. to find new clues, so I'll ask one last time - what did Nick tell you?"

"He told me not to trust anyone." Steve replied.

Pierce was stunned, then regained his composure, still sitting in his seat, taking off his glasses and wiping the dust that wasn't there.

"I have to find out the truth, and whoever stands in his way, I'll make him regret it - whoever it is!"

"Unaccompanied."

Looking at Captain America who pushed the door and left, the Hydra executive picked up the phone on his desk and said coldly, "Arrest Captain Rogers." ”

With the Winter Soldier missing, Nick Fury's whereabouts unknown, and a series of accidents, he can no longer be sideways, and he must control the situation within S.H.I.E.L.D. with lightning speed.
