Chapter 087: Lightning and Hammer
Half an hour later, as Rhaegar had hoped, he was escorted to the Hydra base, which had been taken by the Resistance. However, a new round of bad luck began. Alone in one place instead of 'rendezvous' with Skye and Coulson as he had hoped, the locator he tucked into his collar before leaving the Bus was discovered by anti-surveillance equipment while passing through a checkpoint on the periphery of the base, and unfortunately he didn't find a chance to send out the base's location information.
If Felicity could receive information about the location of the base, Rhaegar's plan would be able to continue. Felicity would send out that location, attracting other forces besides the Resistance and Hydra to 'watch'. Regardless of what the Resistance and Hydra are planning, the waters will become more and more muddy, and the pressure on the Resistance and Hydra will increase, and the more likely they will become. Rhaegar will be able to use that opportunity to find Skye and rescue them.
It's a pity.
While Rhaegar was trapped in a sealed cell, waiting for someone to interrogate him, on the other side of the base, Jasper Sitwell and Victoria Hand, who had been sent by the Hydra side to negotiate in a gesture of sincerity and solemnity, finally came face to face with Steve Trevor, the top leader of the Resistance on this side. This meeting, which was disliked by a considerable part of Trevor's men and considered to be a conspiracy, officially came to the 'necessary process' of negotiations after a period of unnutritious bull-raising between the two sides.
"Cooperation? You're definitely kidding! It was Hal who had previously reported to Trevor that Hydra had offered to meet, and that this meeting had been arranged at Trevor's behest, and that he had accompanied Trevor to the meeting as a representative.
Hal, whose real name is Hal Jordan, is like Trevor, who had a career in airplanes before joining the Resistance. However, unlike Trevor, who was a colonel in the U.S. Air Force before that, Hal has nothing to do with the U.S. military, but works as a test pilot for an aircraft manufacturing company. Somehow, his honesty, bravery, and fearlessness were noticed by the Resistance's mysterious leader, who spoke to Trevor to recruit him, and he became a member of the Resistance. When it comes to commanding a flying formation, Hal may not be a match for Trevor from an Air Force colonel, but when it comes to flying a plane alone, he is the most skilled in the Resistance—and in the entire Western Hemisphere.
First of all, he was appreciated by the leader of the organization, and he was also very talented, so you can see why Hal has reached his current position not long after joining the resistance.
However, the two representatives on Hydra's side did not know Hal's identity, and they were quite suspicious of Trevor bringing such a young man in his twenties who looked a little rash to this meeting, and now that the young man was still questioning their words, they simply put on a playful expression and looked at Trevor to see what the high-ranking and real representative of the Resistance would do.
Either way, they'll put Hal on the list of things to watch when they return to Hydra. Anyone on that list will have a special Hydra intelligence team to track down, and will find out the information of the target. Although neither Sitwell nor Hand now know Hal's identity, it is clear that Hal is qualified to appear on that list based on the fact that Hal accompanied Trevor to the meeting and that Hal was in charge of organizing the meeting before.
And Trevor's next performance deepened their affirmation of the idea.
"I also think it's a bit strange that you'll come up with a collaboration." Trevor just gave Hal an affirmative look, then smiled at the two of them. "Given that you've killed our people more than once, I don't think it's a matter of course for you to offer cooperation."
"But I remember that you were the ones who started the incident first. This speaks for itself from the name 'Resistance' on your side. It was you who struck first, and we had to fight. Hydra's Level 9 agent and assistant to the director Sitwell said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Hal also laughed, "Then why don't we change the name to 'Obedience Order', and then you won't attack us?" ”
Sitwell didn't answer. Now his counterpart is Trevor, and he doesn't need to fight with a minion. And this task naturally fell on his deputy in this negotiation, Victoria Hand.
"Yes, disarm your combat formation, let our men register all of you, and some of you will be judged and punished in response, after which we will not attack you again."
Hal leaned back on the back of the chair and put his hands on the conference table: "Don't forget that we still occupy your base, and we just annihilated your twelve teams. And you made us surrender? So what's the point, you guys can go! ”
"Thank you very much for mentioning this, you are acknowledging that you are the one who caused the unrest."
"So you're righteous? Don't make me laugh......"
Just getting to the point, back to the stage of unnutritious ripped skin, which is not the desired result for both parties. So Sitwell looked at Trevor and put pressure on Trevor first, and Trevor finally stopped Hal's gag with his eyes.
"Well, Sitwell, why are you here?" Trevor asked faintly as he looked into Sitwell's eyes.
This time it was Sitwell who was feeling the pressure. However, he usually has a lot of contact with the high-level of Hydra, whether it is within the intelligence agency or those hidden bosses. Compared to those people, Trevor put little pressure on him.
"Then I'll get straight to the point." Sitwell also responded lightly, "I know what you're looking for, and I know why you're looking for it." ”
Before Trevor could speak, Hal interjected, "I'm skeptical. ”
"Don't fix all these things that you don't have." Sitville didn't bother with Hal either, but said solemnly to the two members of the Resistance, "We know that the hammer in our hands is closely related to something else in your hands. The current situation is that neither of us can solve the secrets on one or the other, which is why you have spent so much money to capture this base, and why we have sent twelve teams for you to kill, to make you mentally balanced, and then to send Agent Hander and agents of my level to negotiate with you. I think we've shown enough sincerity, we still have several agents in your hands, and we even detected a similar flash of lightning energy around one of our large planes not long ago, and instead of taking action, we left it up to you to inspect and collect data. That's the premise of our cooperation, and with us, you can unlock the hammer from beyond Earth and its secrets! ”
