When it comes to the military, things are much simpler.

At least in Alec's opinion.

With Wanda and Jessica, Alec travels to Long Island, New York. It is a well-known area for the wealthy, and is a gathering place for financial tycoons and political elites. He has gained a lot from this place, and it only took him a month to win over a dozen billionaires and seven or eight members of Congress. Relying on the path of these people, his network gradually expanded, until it spread throughout the United States.

He came to the door of a villa with a familiar car, and then knocked on the door very gentlemanly.

A middle-aged man poked out: "Mr. Alec? ”

Alec laughed, "It's been a long time, Councillor Annit, you're getting younger and younger. ”

Annette smiled awkwardly, and then welcomed the three into the house.

Alec's sudden visit caught him off guard, and after some scrambling, a sumptuous meal was served. Annette wiped her sweat, sat down next to Alec, and said with a little respect, "Mr. Alec, please!" ”

Wanda felt a little awkward.

She leaned over to Alec and whispered, "Aren't we supposed to save Pietro?" ”

Alec glanced at Wanda and replied unhurriedly, "Wanda, I know you're worried about Pierrot, but your impatience won't solve anything...... Think about why I brought you to Councillor Annette? Pierrot's disappearance is related to the military, and the most direct way to find out Pierrot's whereabouts is to ask the Pentagon or S.H.I.E.L.D. But obviously, we are never going to get answers from these people, so we need to find someone who is 'reliable' to the government and ask these questions with his mouth. ”

Wanda said: "Annette is a member of Congress, do you think he will help you?" ”

"Of course." Alec laughed, "Why did I bring you here if I wasn't sure he could help?" ”

The meals were plentiful.

But Annette's mind was obviously not on eating.

After Alec finished his lunch slowly, he broke aside a few bodyguards and asked a little urgently: "Mr. Alec, I don't know what is the purpose of your sudden visit?" ”

"Find someone for me."

"Who?"

Petro Django Maximov...... Mutants, now in the hands of the military. ”

Annette was taken aback: "You want me to go to the Pentagon to ask for someone?" ”

Alec nodded.

Annette grimaced: "That's the Pentagon...... Even though I'm a member of Congress, if I stretch my hand too long, I'm going to be in trouble, and it's big trouble. Mr. Alec, the military is taboo, and every congressman will try to avoid contact with the military in the open and go to the Pentagon to ask for people...... If I don't handle it properly, I could be kicked out of the National Congress for it. ”

Alec already had a draft.

"I know, but if I had helped you, it wouldn't have happened."

Annette hesitated, "I'd like to hear your terms, Mr. Alec. ”

Alec smiled and took out a document: "This is my sincerity. ”

Annette flipped it open and looked at it, then was startled.

"They all ......"

Alec nodded.

"Mr. Annit, there are many people who want to live a long life, and the Island City prison is not a secret to you members of Congress. If I'm going to look for you, I'm going to find them too...... Finding someone from the Pentagon is a sensitive matter, but if you have more than 200 lawmakers standing behind you, I guess it's not a big deal...... By the way, Speaker Anthony is also one of ours, and I had a very pleasant deal with him. ”

Annette's face looked much better.

But he still wondered: "Mr. Alec, there are dozens of councilors living on Long Island, why did you choose me?" ”

Alec smiled and replied, "That's actually a very simple question, Councilor Annit. ”

"I have a lot of legislators, but very few can be trusted. Councillor Annette, I'm showing you a long list, but how many of them are actually on my side, to be honest, I don't know...... Optimistically, there are 100 people...... The rest of the people took my advantage, but they refused to do my thing. Over the past few months, the Island City prison has been invaded more than thirty times, and I have caught a lot of people: soldiers, FBI agents, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, private investigators, and even an idiot who sent his own personal bodyguard to test my reality! ”

Annette was surprised: "Do you want to ......"

"yes, I'm going to fight back."

"Annette, it doesn't matter if you can rescue Quicksilver or not, success is naturally the best, even if you fail in the end, the ending will not change anything...... I can reveal it to you. Quicksilver's biological father is Magneto Eric, his sister is Wanda the Scarlet Witch, and his teacher is Professor X Charles...... Now that the stupid pigs of the military have kidnapped Quicksilver, do you think these people will be indifferent? ”

Annette's face was ugly.

"Someone is provoking a war."

"Annette, the scale of this war will be unprecedented, and this time, even the X-Men will not be on the side of ordinary people."

Annette's face turned a little pale: "What should I do?" ”

"Before Magneto can start the action, let go of Quicksilver...... If possible, I'd like to stop the project on mutants. ”

"Will war be avoided?"

"I can't." Alec shook his head, "But by doing so, it will at least help you win the support of the X-Men." ”

…………

New York, S.H.I.E.L.D. Airship.

Nick Fury frowned as he stared at the file in front of him, a file of Neself detailing the events of the Battle of St. Petersburg, the extent of the city's damage, and the final casualties.

Coulson knocked on the door and came in: "Director, there's news." ”

"Someone saw Nasef in Australia, he's headed for Thor, do you need someone to warn him?"

Nick Fury looked up: "Leave Thor alone, how are the things I told you going?" ”

Coulson smiled wryly: "Nothing has progressed. ”

"Those Asgardians are tight-lipped, we haven't been able to dig up anything valuable, and so far, we still don't know anything about that extraterrestrial civilization. Progress on the mutants' side isn't as good either...... Alec has already found out about the military, and it is estimated that it will not be long before William's idiocy will be exposed. On the superhero side, Peter and Tony turned down our invitation, Steve is still in the recovery stage, there is still some time before he wakes up, Banner is now in India, and I didn't dare to contact him. ”

Nick Fury sighed, "Nothing went well. ”

Coulson thought for a moment and said, "Ross seems to be playing Banner again, and Congress also has the intention of restarting the Hulk project...... Do you want to send someone to contact Banner? ”

"No, you don't."

"Avengers Project ......"

"Leave the Avengers alone!" Nick Fury looked rather agitated, "How's the investigation going on in Congress?" ”

Coulson's face was embarrassed: "It's troublesome." ”

"We have confirmed that more than three digits of MPs have been in contact with Alec, including the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the President of the Pro Tempore, the Senate Majority Leader, the Senate Minority Leader, the Minority Supervisor of the Minority, the Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, the ...... of the whip."

Nick Fury almost gritted his teeth: "Tell me directly, how many people haven't been in contact with Alec?" ”

Coulson smiled wryly again: "As far as we know, there are hardly. ”
