Chapter 116: Project Insight

Indian waters.

"The target is a mobile satellite launch ship, the Star of Rimoria."

On the high-speed fighter plane, Brock Rumlow, the leader of the special operations team of the rescue operation, was introducing the mission to Rogers and Natasha through the screen.

"The pirates hijacked the ship 93 minutes ago, they fired a ......"

Seeing that Rumlow hadn't cut to the chase for a long time, Rogers, with his arms crossed, interrupted, "What do they want?" ”

"1.5 billion dollars."

For Rogers, who still uses the same system of price measurement as it did during World War II, $1.5 billion is undoubtedly an astronomical amount.

Even according to modern algorithms, that's a lot of money.

"So exaggerated?"

"Of course." Rumlow nodded, "Because this is a S.H.I.E.L.D. ship." ”

Rogers stared at the screen: "So the ship is off course now because it was hijacked." ”

"Yes, they may have some purpose in doing so." Natasha put one hand on her cheek and expressed her opinion.

Things looked a little tricky, and Rogers looked at Natasha, "You know, I hate wiping Fury's ass. ”

"Take it easy." Natasha tilted her head and looked at Rogers with relief, "It's not that complicated. ”

"Okay." Rogers looked at Rumlow, "How many pirates are there?" ”

Rumlow swiped the screen: "Twenty-eight, mercenaries led by George BartΓ³k." ”

If it's just a mercenary, not an iron man or Thor flying in the sky, it's really not that complicated.

Rogers touched his chin and asked, "What about the hostages?" ”

Rumlow continued to swipe the screen: "Mostly technicians, there was an officer, Jasper Hitwell, and they were all in the kitchen. ”

An officer appeared on the launch ship, looking somewhat abrupt.

Rogers wrapped the bandages on his hands and began to direct the distribution of manpower: "I sweep the deck to find BartΓ³k, Natasha turns off the engine and waits for my instructions, Rumlow, you invade from the stern to find the hostages, take them to the lifeboat and leave, is there any problem?" ”

"Nope." Everyone nodded their heads, indicating that there was no objection.

After adjusting the radio headset, the operation officially began.

A star-striped man without a shield, that's also the limit of humanity.

Rogers, who was holding a five-five shield, easily dealt with the fourteen mercenaries on the deck.

Natasha entered the launch pod and quickly took out the six mercenaries as well.

All of a sudden, the number of mercenaries shrank by more than half, leaving eight.

Three were in the galley to watch the hostages, two were in the command room, and three were supposed to be in the cabin.

Rogers shrugged as he listened to the report in the headset.

Indeed, such a task is really not that complicated.

"Are you okay over there, Natasha."

After a brief fight, Natasha's voice came from the headset: "Kill three, take the turn." ”

At this moment, there are only five mercenaries left.

As Rumlow's special forces attacked, the three mercenaries in the kitchen were also taken down and began to cover the evacuation of the hostages.

Rogers searched around and found the last two in the command room, throwing his shield and knocking one of them over.

The remnants of BartΓ³k turned and ran like a frightened bird.

Rogers wouldn't let him go, and followed him all the way, successfully intercepting him on deck.

After a fight, Rogers made a move to get on a crow plane, riding on BartΓ³k, and breaking through the door to the database.

After knocking him unconscious, Natasha's voice came from next to him: "Embarrassing. ”

Rogers looked up and saw that she was manipulating something in front of the computer, and walked over.

Looking at the backup of the data on the computer screen, Rogers frowned: "Are you saving the intelligence of S.H.I.E.L.D.?" ”

"Of course, you can take as much as you can." Natasha didn't seem to care.

Rogers was unhappy with her unauthorized actions: "Our mission this time is to free the hostages. ”

"That's just your job." Seeing that the data was backed up, Natasha took off the USB flash drive.

At this moment, BartΓ³k, who was in a daze, suddenly got up and ran out, throwing a bomb with his backhand.

BOOM。

Smoke and dust were everywhere, and under the cover of the shield, the two of them were fine.

"Well, I screwed it up." Natasha admits she was unlucky.

"Of course yours." Glancing at her, Rogers immediately chased after her, but the other party was nowhere to be seen.

……

Washington, D.C., Triple Wing Building.

Rogers approached Nick Fury and came to Xingshi to ask, "Didn't you resign as director?" ”

"To correct me, I was just on a secret mission and didn't resign." Nick's one-eyed glance swept over Rogers, "Besides, it's always safer in the Triqual Wing Mansion than outside, isn't it?" ”

Seeing Nick's rogue face, Rogers returned to the topic: "What's Natasha's mission?" If the pirates hadn't cleaned up, her unauthorized actions would likely result in the hostages being killed. ”

"That's why I sent you to make sure the hostages were safe." Nick interrupted Rogers: "Everyone completes their own tasks, and that's called split management." No one will leak it, and no one will know all the secrets. ”

Rogers shook his head disapprovingly: "If everyone has their own tasks, it will be difficult for you to let me lead the team." Of course, there is one person who knows all the secrets, and that is you. ”

Nick's one-eyed eyes looked back and forth at Rogers, and his tone softened, "I think you're mistaken about me, Captain, I'm actually a good guy." ”

Seeing Rogers' distrustful look, Nick sighed, "Come on, I'll show you something." ”

With authorization, the elevator began to descend slowly.

Seeing that Nick was very mysterious, Rogers asked, "What do you want to show me?" ”

Nick shrugged: "You'll know if you've seen it." ”

After the elevator descended to the first floor, it did not stop, but continued to descend deeper into the ground.

Rogers gave Nick a strange look, but there was no response.

Gradually, the elevator stopped.

Rogers was able to get a glimpse of the underneath the Triqual Wing Building.

In the vast space, there are three Helicarriers.

Unlike what he saw during the Battle of New York, these three Helicarriers were equipped with a lot of weapons, which was very impressive.

"It's the Insight Project." Nick proudly introduced Rogers, "The three latest Helicarriers are synchronized with GPS satellite positioning. Thanks to the latest new anti-gravity engines, they are able to continue to fly in suborbital areas outside the Earth. ”

"Stark Industries? Or is it developed by Haotian Technology? "To be able to do this kind of epoch-making technology, Rogers can only think of these two.

"It's Stark." Nick led Rogers on, "I think you know, the Iceman isn't too keen on sharing technology, and he's just staying at the basics. If he wanted to, he would have taken it out a long time ago. ”

"If you really take it out, won't it become a weapon for you politicians?" Rogers, who learned of Congress's attitude after the Battle of New York, was a little slighter: "He probably thinks that humans are not fit to have these technologies." ”

"Perhaps." Nick stopped in front of a sky carrier: "But humanity always progresses, doesn't it?" It is only a matter of time before we reach that stage. ”

Staring at the dense array of machine guns under the Helicarrier, Rogers diverted the topic: "What are these guns for?" ”

"This new long-range precision gun can destroy a thousand enemies in a minute. Terrorists can be read out of their DNA before they even come out of their bunkers, and we can contain threats before they appear. ”

Rogers was confused: "Ahead? Shouldn't it be a crime first, then a punishment? You're putting the cart before the horse. ”

"Ciel, too, said something similar to you, I really don't know where she found out about Project Insight." Nick's eyes suddenly became serious: "We can't afford to wait. ”

"We?" Rogers was stunned.

"After the war in New York, I persuaded the Security Council to restart the program. In the past, we always had to make up for it when something happened. Now, when it comes to protecting humanity, we're one step ahead. ”

Rogers still doesn't agree with Nick's philosophy: "A person with a gun aimed at the whole planet can also claim to be protective?" ”

Nick shook his head, not thinking anything wrong with Project Insight: "I've seen a lot of files, and even the greatest generation during World War II did dishonorable things. ”

"Yes, but we eventually compromised, because doing something cruel would make our conscience uneasy. Unlike you, our purpose is to set the people free. Rogers pointed to the long-range precision gun on the side: "But you're not liberating freedom, you're creating fear." ”

Nick put his hands in his pockets, thinking that he couldn't talk to an old antique like Rogers for a while: "S.H.I.E.L.D. sees the world realistically, not as idealized as your generation. Seriously, you should be aware of the current affairs, Captain, and don't keep going against us. ”

"If you're going to say that, there's nothing to talk about." Rogers took his shield and turned to leave.

Riding his bike away from the Triquille, Rogers looked out at the clear blue sky.

Nick just mentioned the 'Greatest Generation,' which reminded him of his first love, Peggy Carter.

While she's still alive.

It's time to go to the UK and see her.

……

Two days later, at eight o'clock in the evening.

Stark Building, Manhattan, New York.

In the hall on the top floor, there was a lively and noisy scene.

For this party, Stark also invited a private chef from Italy to cook for everyone.

It was said that the reunion of the members of the Avengers actually did not come.

Thor Thor, Captain America Steve Rogers, and Agent Clint Patton Hawkeye were not involved.

Potspeplatinum and Natasha sat on the couch, chatting about the topics between women, giggling from time to time.

Chen Hao, Stark, and Servig sat at the bar, drinking bartending, and next to them, sat a guest who shouldn't have been here.

Dr. Bruce Banner.

After the Battle of New York, Dr. Banner fled to an island in Malaysia for fear that Hulk would hurt others.

It's just that there is not everything on the island, and he needs to spend money on some necessities of life.

With the cooperation of Ivan, a top hacker, and Jarvis, as soon as the Banner Bank account was spent, he immediately obtained his traces.
