Chapter 250: It's really interesting
Not everyone is convinced that there will be a "surprise". Some people still feel that the winners of the remaining two seats are no longer in suspense. After all, as the two largest organizations in the world, there is no greater one than them for the time being, and the influence of Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D. naturally goes without saying. In the previous day and a half, these two forces could be regarded as the most active. Someone once joked that there were people on several floors at the same time, and that was telling.
What's more, the reason why Professor X, Team America, and Jean Grey have surprised expressions is only because of the Evil Six and the United States. The military's votes were all ahead of Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D. Otherwise, Professor X would not have to deliberately emphasize "in no particular order".
It cannot be denied that this statement is not unreasonable. In fact, the representatives of Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D. thought the same thing......
Anyway, when the results came out, it really shocked most people. Even if it is predicted, when the similar result really appears in front of me, I can't help but swallow my saliva.
It's really hot!
When Professor X announced the ownership of the fourth round table, the whole room was in an uproar.
"What, this can't be!"
The voice came from Agent Weaver of S.H.I.E.L.D. It took her a lot of words to squeeze out Coulson, whom she didn't trust, and get the position of permanent representative of S.H.I.E.L.D., and wait for Professor X to read the results and sit down. As a result, the reading was read, but the last seat did not belong to S.H.I.E.L.D. at all, which made her embarrassed!
Coulson didn't expect that to be the outcome either.
In fact, he had long known about the distrust of some people at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, including the new director, Victoria Hand, and Weaver, who was now sitting next to him. Especially since he had been secretly working on an alien-related project for some time before, and some of his actions were quite puzzling to those who closely followed his actions. He initiated the project himself, and only he knows all the details. Although he had reason to believe that he would regain the trust of those people after the project was completed. But that will have to wait until the time comes. For now, he can fully understand their suspicions about himself. Therefore, he generously relinquished the position of permanent representative, because he knew that Weaver didn't have much ambition and that she was only responsible for the future of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Now, S.H.I.E.L.D. is not even elected? It's just "magical".
After the surprise. There were all kinds of reactions from the crowd in the venue. Some people will worry about S.H.I.E.L.D., or even complain, but more often than not, they will gloat. Coulson subconsciously looked over to the Hydra representatives, just in time to meet Garrett's playful gaze. However, there is not much smugness in it. Coulson looked at the stage again, and the sixth person at the round table, Whitehall, who represented Hydra, was also smiling, but he was also looking at him in disbelief, as if he suspected that there was some major conspiracy for S.H.I.E.L.D. to deliberately give up this seat, right?
It's really funny. The people on S.H.I.E.L.D. suspected that Hydra was secretly planning all this. Hydra also wonders if S.H.I.E.L.D. has some conspiracy. It's just that......
God pity!
Hydra was elected, but S.H.I.E.L.D. was denied a seat at the Round Table, which in itself is a great irony. Who would give up their immediate rights and influence for the sake of a conspiracy that does not even have a shadow? This time, S.H.I.E.L.D. lost more than just the Round Table seat. You must know that all the forces involved in the election for the round table seat, whether they succeed or not, their people are disqualified from running for the commander. In other words, S.H.I.E.L.D. came to participate in the formation of the Earth Alliance with great interest this time, wanting to expand its network and expand its influence. So far it has failed. They are not only doomed to a bamboo basket for nothing, but also lose face. Even more depressing is when there is a war in the future. They may also have to listen to someone else's command, even a sworn enemy, Hydra.
Except for Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D., the reaction of others was not small. The people who celebrate the disaster are still coaxing, and they are still thinking about whether there is a chance to fall into the well. S.H.I.E.L.D. supporters have been protesting repeatedly, accusing the vote of being shady. All in all, the scene was very lively. Even the highly respected Professor X shouted several times. even secretly used psychic ability, which made the noise in the audience lower.
"I vouch for my reputation and personality that this time the vote has not undergone any special treatment, and I have read out the original results." Professor X said solemnly, "So. Why don't we just sit down and listen to the last roundtable delegate speak? ”
It was only then that most people first noticed the person who was already sitting at the last seat of the round table. Then, the whispered chatter began again. Most of them are spitting......
"This size, hehe, no wonder I didn't notice him just now."
"Haha, that's right. But what's his name? From which force? ”
"It seems to be some kind of industry."
"'Industrial'? I only know one Stark. ”
"You know too little. Stark Industries is famous because they have Tony Stark, the Iron Man. In terms of corporate strength, several groups are also good. ”
"Oh? What are they? ”
"The former Osborne Group was good. Although we have just gotten rid of the trough, we believe that we will soon be able to rise again. After all, Harry Osben has already joined the Avengers as the second generation of the Green Goblin, and Stark's support is definitely indispensable. Japan's Shishida, which controls the lifeblood of Japan, cannot be ignored. Since the end of World War II, Shishida has been creating wealth to support Japan, a defeated country, and now it is believed that its influence has spread throughout the country. However, now that Japan has occupied more than half of its territory by the fire giants, it is estimated that Shishida has suffered a lot of losses. ”
"Don't talk about that country. Let's talk about what the one on the stage is. ”
"Ah, don't you know? That's the founder of Trask Industries. Another giant comparable to Stark Industries! ”
That's right, the seventh person at the round table is Bolivar Trask, the founder of Trask Industries.
Speaking of which, this man also has some connections with Grant. In the original timeline, Colonel Williams Stryker, who had just defected from S.H.I.E.L.D. and treated Grant as a mutant under Lake Yarkali in Canada, used to work under Bolivar Trask. At the time, Trask was a contractor for a special project for the military, and Stryker was responsible for helping him coordinate the military's personnel and resources. Later, Trask stumbled into prison for some reason, and Stryker took most of the former's data resources and went it alone with the support of the military.
The timeline corrected by Grant and the Ancient One is not like that. Trask didn't know why he didn't become a contractor for the military, but he still got in touch with Stryker and offered some technical help. Now that Stryker is dead, Trask is said to have taken over the mutants' research.
It's a lot of fun. (To be continued......)
