Chapter 104: The Crisis Begins
≮ In the struggle for hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union, both Alex and S.H.I.E.L.D. can only stand aside, watching the two countries continue to deploy troops under the instigation of Sebastian Shaw, and the whole world is shrouded in the shadow of war. Some people are trying to prevent the two countries from coming to war, while others are constantly provoking war, and everyone's attitude is different.
However, all this has nothing to do with Alex, and he continues to search for Medusa with the crystal. It's not that Alex doesn't want to care, it's that he really can't do anything, and the big power game is not something that he, a small person, can control at all.
∏ Alex could drop everything and accompany the crystal to find Medusa, but Nick Fury, Howard, and others had to focus on this big event that could affect the future.
S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury leaned back in the boss's chair with his head in his hands, looking at the young clerk opposite, with a deep light shining in one eye, and the expression on his face was a little stiff. After a long silence, Nick Fury said quietly: "Okay, I know, you go out first!" ”
Watching the young clerk walk out, Nick Fury's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and he sighed, with a very helpless look on his face.
⊥ at this moment, Howard pushed the door and walked in, and Nick Fury didn't have time to change his expression.
Seeing Nick Fury's expression, Howard's heart suddenly struck, and his voice trembled slightly and asked, "What's going on, Nick?" ”
"Soviet warships set sail." Seeing that it was Howard, the tension on Nick Fury's face suddenly disappeared, and the smile on his face became more and more bitter. The Soviet fleet with missiles had already sailed to Cuba, and the Soviet Union made it clear. There is no other ulcer in the United States. Only a war with the USSR.
◆ Huade was stunned at first when he heard this. reacted immediately, with a look of disbelief: "Really?!" ”
Kefrey didn't speak, just nodded, his movements a little stiff.
◆ Ward also fell silent, unconsciously walked to the sofa and sat down, his head pressed low, almost reaching the ground. It was a long time before Howard looked up. Looking at Nick Fury, who turned his head at the same time as noticing the movement, the expression on his face became very serious: "What is S.H.I.E.L.D. going to do?" ”
Judging from the current situation, there is a great possibility that a dispute will erupt between the United States and the Soviet Union, which may then turn into a third world war that will spread throughout the world. As one of the world's leading intelligence organizations, S.H.I.E.L.D. has a somewhat special position. No one doesn't want S.H.I.E.L.D.'s help, and everyone wants S.H.I.E.L.D. to disappear.
"A nation is a nation, and a human being is a human being!" Nick Fury's face sank, stared at Howard, and said word by word, "S.H.I.E.L.D." Only for the protection of all mankind! This is the purpose of the original establishment of S.H.I.E.L.D., and it is also the only hope in the hearts of Alex and others, who have just experienced the trauma of World War II.
≮ Nick Fury got the news shortly after. The U.S. government also received news that Soviet missiles were about to be delivered to Cuba, and through a simple meeting, the U.S. government also sent the Seventh Fleet to carry out an all-round armed blockade of Cuba on the one hand, and to intercept the Soviet fleet on the other.
As the fleets of the United States and the Soviet Union set sail one after another, the situation in the world became more and more tense, and even the mutants of the Savage Lands were affected.
"What's going on?" Alex frowned and looked at the young man in front of him, the expression on his face was very stern.
… After Emma's constant persuasion, Alex eventually took over as the martial arts teacher of X Academy, and while helping Crystal find her sister Medusa, he also found time to teach these students, many of whom were already full members of the X-Men.
And the young man in front of him is none other than the original "Tarzan of the Apes" Remy. Today, he is not only a superstar in Hollywood, but also a member of the X-Men, and usually does some martial arts training. Of course, his main role is to make movies and promote mutants. …
However, during the training just now, Remy was obviously inattentive, and was thrown several times by Alex, and his increasingly handsome face was a little bruised.
Hearing Alex's voice, Remy suddenly woke up, lowered his head in embarrassment, and muttered.
"Say, what the hell is going on, Remy?" Alex had known Remy since ten years ago, and he knew his personality very well. Although there are some fools on weekdays and they don't see the right thing, but when it comes to the critical time, they will definitely be very serious, and Remy's performance today is really a bit abnormal.
Remy raised his head, glanced at Alex secretly, and hesitated for a while before asking, "Are the United States and the Soviet Union really going to fight?" Remy lives most of his life in the United States, and tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union affect every aspect of the United States, especially Hollywood, the benchmark for the entertainment industry, and almost everyone talks about it.
Alex didn't expect Remy to desert because of this incident, and looked at Remy with some tears and laughter: "Does this matter have anything to do with you?" What happened when they really fought? ”
Of course, Alex knew that the United States and the Soviet Union could not fight, whether in the real world or in the comic world. If it really happens, Alex will definitely take action and strangle the war in the cradle. After the baptism of World War II, Alex abhorred any war, whether it was good or evil.
was robbed by Alex this time, Remy was speechless and speechless.
Looking at Remy's appearance, Alex chuckled, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him casually: "Okay, don't worry, they won't fight!" ”
After dismissing Remy, Alex did not immediately go to the crystal, but instead teleported to the new office of S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Why are you here?" Seeing Alex suddenly appear, Howard, who was in Nick Fury's office, looked surprised, and there was a hint of ridicule in his gently provoked eyes, "Didn't you hang around with your new girlfriend?" ”。 Alex has been going out early and returning late with Crystal for a long time these days, which annoys Emma and the girls, so Howard uses this to make a joke.
Alex naturally knew that Howard was joking with himself, and he didn't argue anything, and turned his head to look at Nick Fury: "What's the situation now?" ”
"After learning of the intervention of the US military, the Soviet Union sent an additional fleet to join the escort ships." Nick Fury casually threw out a piece of paper detailing the size of the Soviet fleet, which was very luxurious.
"I expected it a long time ago." Alex shrugged, not in the slightest change of mood because of this news, the expression on his face was still casual, "When will the Soviet fleet arrive in the waters near Cuba?" ”
Judging from the current situation, the United States and the Soviet Union are ready to shoot, and Alex must find a way to prevent the start of this war, just like in the movie.
"The U.S. fleet set up a cordon at sea to warn the Soviet Union." Nick Fury reached out and pulled out a photograph from a pile of papers beside him, it was an undulating sea, and several buoys were floating up and down the sea, "In three days, the vanguard of the Soviet fleet will reach this cordon." ”
Alex's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, he pondered for a moment, and repeated: "Three days?!" Saying this, Alex was already secretly thinking about countermeasures in his heart. (To be continued......)
