Chapter 218: Hearings

At the hearing in the Capitol in Washington, Nick Fury sat down with a blank face, the same position as the last time Tony participated in the hearing, but fortunately, this time there was no reporter behind him, after all, he represented a government organization like S.H.I.E.L.D.

Now, however, he is not being questioned, and it is his adjutant who is being questioned, Maria. Hill.

"Maria. Ciel, do you admit that there are a large number of Hydra members within S.H.I.E.L.D.? ”

"Sir, I think those members of Hydra are all made by Alexander. Pierce arranged to come in..."

"Agent Hill, all you have to do is answer yes or no."

“... Be. ”

"Did you know of their existence before this incident?"

"Yes, but we weren't sure at the time..."

"The answer is yes or no."

“... Be. ”

"Very well, so after you learned of the existence of Hydra, did you report this to the rest of our intelligence agencies or the International Security Council?"

“... No. ”

"Okay, you've all heard, S.H.I.E.L.D., as an international intelligence agency, has been extremely slow to react after learning of the enemy's existence, and has also adopted an intelligence blockade strategy. Imagine if this crisis had not been resolved and Hydra's Insight Program had been executed, the United States would have borne the brunt of the crisis. After the military spokesman concluded his questioning, he gave a presentation to the government officials present.

"Think about it, how many democracy fighters in our country, which has always taken freedom and democracy as its national policy, will be exposed to the guns of a terrorist organization like Hydra, perhaps, with just one salvo, our parliament and president will fall in a pool of blood, and at that time, all the leadership will be swept away, and the whole country will fall into chaos, and Hydra can wait for the opportunity to take over smoothly and make the United States the stronghold of terrorism."

"And all of this is caused by the dominance of S.H.I.E.L.D." Nick Fury finally lifted his eyelids to look at the speaker, and he finally showed his fangs.

"For a long time, we have left international terrorism and alien things to S.H.I.E.L.D. to deal with, of course, in the past few decades they have done well, but as time goes by, S.H.I.E.L.D. will inevitably fall into blind self-confidence, they think they can see all the crises and stop them, but in fact, the Ten Rings kidnap patriotic businessmen, the gods attack western towns, and the aliens invade New York, they have all failed to stop them, this time it's good, even they have internal problems, And it is also an intolerable mistake for terrorists to get their hands on the most advanced weapons and equipment in the world. ”

The military spokesman paused and took a sip of water, in fact, he really let everyone in the audience digest what he had just said, originally he was only fifty percent sure of convincing everyone, but the strange thing was that Nick Fury, who he feared the most, did not say a word, so he felt that the possibility had increased to seventy.

"Therefore, I propose to break the monopoly situation and take back some of the rights of S.H.I.E.L.D. and distribute it to other departments, so as to expand intelligence gathering capabilities and improve response capabilities, and prevent similar things from happening again."

The senior officials on the rostrum discussed with each other, and the Secretary of Defense, who was sitting in the middle on behalf of the White House, looked at Nick Fury and asked, "Director Nick Fury, what do you think of the proposal of the military representatives?" ”

Nick glanced at the people on the rostrum with his only eye, and finally replied: "No opinion, I agree with the military representative's point of view, I think his concerns are very reasonable, and he is willing to actively cooperate with the dismantling of S.H.I.E.L.D., I just hope that you can see that S.H.I.E.L.D. has been fighting on the front line for so many years and has rich work experience, and don't let our agents take their skills to the grave." ”

"Of course, don't worry about this, we still recognize S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intelligence collection work, but S.H.I.E.L.D. also has world-class weapons and equipment while collecting intelligence, so we are worried that it will be used by people with ulterior motives."

"Well, if there are no other problems, I will take my leave, and I will stay at the headquarters of the Sanqu Wing, waiting for a task force from Congress to assist in our splitting work."

"Okay, then I'm sorry for Director Fury, and we'll inform you of the follow-up work." The military representative said impatiently that it was time to divide the cake, and as the cake itself, it was better not to be present, so as not to embarrass everyone.

Walking out of the conference hall, Agent Maria immediately frowned and asked Nick Fury, "Sir, why is this, why did you split S.H.I.E.L.D.?" ”

"Hey." Nick Fury sighed and glanced at her, "It's not okay if you don't split it, S.H.I.E.L.D. has become a behemoth by now, collecting intelligence, mobilizing troops, and even strategic weapons, which have long been targeted by the military, this time this matter is an opportunity, and finally there is a handle in their hands, if they don't spit out something, how can they give up." ”

"But we've solved the problem, huh?"

"For them, as long as this problem arises, it is an opportunity, it doesn't matter whether it is solved or not, and they may even be lamenting why we have not failed."

"Why?"

"Because they want to be the savior."

"It's... Won't put..."

"Won't? When the Helicarrier lifted off, the military had already discovered that there was a problem within S.H.I.E.L.D., and in the next hour they tried to send fighter jets to attack the mothership many times, but they were all stopped. ”

"By whom?"

"Hehe, who else, the one who gave the military the most headache - Bruce. Dr. Banner, Kane made him sit outside the gate of the nearest military airfield for an hour to drink coffee and wait for the matter to be settled. ”

"Uh... They didn't catch Dr. Banner? ”

"Hehe, of course they want to, but a Hulk who has lost his mind has already made them helpless, let alone a Hulk who has not lost his mind, do you think they don't know that Dr. Banner is in Stark's company, they are just pretending to be deaf and dumb, and if they don't develop something enough to restrain Hulk for a day, they will be blind for a day."

“... If that's the case, then why split S.H.I.E.L.D. at all? ”

"Because I'm afraid." Nick Fury turned his head to look at the sky outside the window, where there were three helicarriers full of ammunition and fighters suspended a few days ago, "I'm afraid that the insight incident will happen again, what kind of three-headed monster organization is coming, this time we can get away with it, if we can't solve it next time, who can bear the consequences, or who is qualified to bear it, it will be an event that will change the course of human history." ”8)
