Chapter 175: The Captain and the Origin of Aegis

A private underground boxing gym.

"Captain?" Meng Ao smiled and stretched out his hand to greet a man in a white vest with muscles holding up his clothes.

"You can call me Steve, too." Steve Rogers glanced at Meng Ao and reached out to hold the hand he handed over, his tone was gentle, and the whole person had a different kind of tenacity.

"Looks like you're doing well." Meng Ao stepped back and looked at Steve Rogers, suddenly pinched the hard muscles on Steve Rogers' arms, swept Steve Rogers's stunned expression from the corner of his eyes, withdrew his hand and apologized: "I'm sorry, it's just a habitual joy to see the hunter." โ€

"It's good." Steve Rogers didn't have any bad feelings about Meng Ao's abrupt behavior, he just didn't understand what Meng Ao meant by his last words. "Joy to see the hunter?"

"He's a bit of a collector and likes to collect the blood of any powerful individual. You have to watch out for the captain, he's not a good boy. A deep male voice interjected into the interrogation between Meng Ao and Steve Rogers, and Nick Fury strode from the outside with Agent Natasha Romanoff.

"I feel bad about you when you're running around for you, and you're saying bad things about me to my face." Meng Ao turned around and looked at Nick Fury who came over expressionlessly, and complained.

"The premise of you running around for me is because I can always take out โ‰กโ†“ what you need to exchange it with you." Nick Fury's unceremonious-for-tat.

"How did you get here? We were still talking on the phone. Meng Ao asked as he deflected the subject.

"Drive." Nick Fury burst out in a monotonous manner, immediately pulled the topic back, and began to complain unceremoniously Meng Ao: "Even if Tony Stark is in a good mood occasionally, I will ask him to come over, and he can also properly help us improve and upgrade the instrument weapons or something for free, what about you?" Whether you're in a good mood or not, I have to impress you first. Then I can entrust you. The only difference is that I pay less when you're in a good mood, and I have to cut your flesh when you're in a bad mood. โ€

"What does that mean?" Meng Ao tilted his head: "This can only show that I am a very qualified businessman." โ€

"What I like and hate the most are also qualified businessmen. Because I can always impress them, but I can never trust them. Nick Fury stood in front of Mono and Steve Rogers, skipped Mono and greeted the captain next to him: "Hello Captain. โ€

"Hello. Nick. Have you discussed it and come together? Steve Rogers' eyes swept back and forth between Meng Ao and Nick Fury: "I remember that the only people I had an appointment with were Meng Ao and William. โ€

"He's not worried about me." Meng Ao turned his head to Steve Rogers and then turned to Nick Fury and said, "I think your trust criteria should have a special case for people like me, because I don't lack anything, so it's hard for someone to impress me with what I like." More importantly, I know who to work with and who needs to stay away. โ€

"I don't have you in my standards." Nick Fury said, "Otherwise I wouldn't have recruited you into my single-minded team." โ€

"The Avengers?" Steve Rogers' probing eyes glanced at Nick Fury.

"Yes." Nick Fury nodded, "Like Natasha and Agent Clint, he's one of the chosen members." โ€

"Maybe we'll be teammates in the future, if those people in the World Security Council can agree with Nick's suggestion." Meng Ao shrugged his shoulders at Steve Rogers: "But I think it's going to be a long game. We need to take a long-term view. and the intention to finally mention yรฌ was denied. โ€

"If this team was indeed set up to maintain world stability and deal with some terrible occult emergencies, as Nick said, then why would the council veto?" Steve Rogers asked.

Nick Fury looked helpless.

Meng Ao patted Steve Rogers on the shoulder and said, "Don't be so high-sounding and upright, it will make me ashamed to stand in front of you and be on the same team as you." I have a large number of pharmaceutical patents, a pharmaceutical factory, and a layer of S.H.I.E.L.D. cooperative arms dealership. Tasked with creating and upgrading biochemical weapons for them. Occasionally, some biological and chemical weapons are specially made according to their requirements. โ€

"Doctors and nurses are angels who save lives, but the pharmaceutical companies of the capital world are black-hearted from the inside out. A qualified arms dealer is a qualified warmonger. Although I am not an arms businessman, I always look forward to starting a war. But you see. I am not a man of integrity and honor. โ€

"To be around someone like me and say that you held on to and recognized the glorious ideals of that period would make me feel a little ......" Meng Ao groaned, pinched a small finger, and dangled in front of Steve Rogers' eyes, and said the following words: "Shame? โ€

"Hell, I haven't had this kind of love in a long time in all these years. I thought they were all gone from me. Meng Ao said.

Steve Rogers smiled slightly awkwardly.

"Nick must not have told you much about what happened over the years, and your memory can't still be stuck in the war when you were active, right?" Meng Ao flipped over the previous question lightly, but it made the embarrassed face of Mr. Captain, who was not easy to answer, return to normal.

Steve Rogers replied, "I'd rather go and see and find for myself than someone else suing me." โ€

"Then you must have missed a lot of what you should know." Meng Ao spread his hands: "Or maybe you forgot a little bit again, human beings are in a time of crisis." In a harsh environment, it can be forcibly pinched into a rope by some powerful people, disdainful of efforts for the same goal. Bold and bold. โ€

"But when the harsh environment disperses, it's hard for humans to be united."

"You mean the struggle for power?" Steve Rogers asked, "This one was there at the beginning, and I even experienced it myself." โ€

"But at that time, everyone had to succumb to the general environment." "For example, the World Security Council, for example, was built by the allies in the early days of the fight against the Nazis and aliens, and brought to the front from behind the scenes after integrating and piecing together the previous scientific research institutions and forces of each country," Meng Ao said. โ€

"It had enormous power at that time, and it enjoyed all kinds of resources and talents provided by many countries at any cost, and it only needed a word from it. Many countries have to operate around it. For example, the nuclear tests and nuclear research carried out by certain countries at all costs were only a small child in the face of the support received by the World Security Council at that time. โ€

"There were even more crazy studies and mentions at the time, and there were all kinds of weapons that could be made to destroy the world, but the nuclear bomb was successful, it helped humanity end the war and deter aliens. Got a respite and a certain right to speak. To this day, some scientific research institutions are still studying some weapons research that was launched at that time but was not completed. โ€

"But you have to understand the captain, when the world gradually regains order, wars are only local conflicts, and different disputes are accused to a certain extent in the dark, the products that appear in the general environment of the world Security Council will be difficult to be tolerated by all countries."

"Did you know about S.H.I.E.L.D. then?" Meng asked Steve Rogers

"I don't know, but I know of a similar secret scientific institution." Steve Rogers replied.

"It's normal that S.H.I.E.L.D. was part of that huge organization at the time. In peacetime, there was no room for such a super-giant monster with monstrous power, so it was dismembered by various countries. I didn't know what the name of the World Security Council was. But it is now indeed called the World Security Council. Meng Ao continued.

"Countries have drained their own scientific research and tried to organize and deprive it of power. If nothing happens, the best outcome for this wartime monster organization should be gradually dismantled and banned, and then completely integrated into a country's defense system. โ€

But after the fall of the Nazis and the retreat of the aliens, the situation in the world did not calm down because of this. The remnants of the Nazis are still active, provoking wars. At that time, the two outliers saved the world Security Council and made it clear to all countries that they were a fact. โ€

"That's the truth. Even with nuclear weapons that can drag the enemy to die with them, there is still a need for the World Security Council as an organization. โ€

"One of those two people is Sebastian Shaw. Nicknamed the Black Emperor, a remnant of the Nazis, he was an important person in charge of the Nazi alien research institute, and he wanted to use extreme means to forcibly produce more mutants. The other is Eric Lanschelle, nicknamed Magneto, a shrewd realistic but radically ideologically racist. He believes that as long as humanity is still in power. Mutants are incapable of coexisting with human understanding. โ€

"It was chaotic, and in the face of those supernatural forces, countries could hardly come up with a plan that really worked. Technological weapons are almost useless for these two men. This has made countries frightened and recognized the limitations of technological weapons. โ€

"States realize that they must retain institutions that can skillfully deal with these alien and supernatural forces. A large number of special agents who had been dismembered by the World Security Council and were either idle waiting to be arranged or stuffed into spy agencies were reassembled, as were a large number of scientists. โ€

"States have given these institutions the enormous privilege of attaching them to the World Security Council, which has been reorganized to become known as the Shadow United Nations. But strictly speaking, although organizations such as S.H.I.E.L.D. still have monstrous power, they are still far inferior to the predecessor of the original organization. โ€

But even so, many of the current heads and high-level leaders of various countries believe that the power of these organizations is still a little too great. They clamp down on the World Security Council, and the World Security Council clamps down on S.H.I.E.L.D. them. โ€

"As the days of peace go by, the uncontrolled organization becomes more and more of an eyesore. Nick is having a hard time, I'm not gloating. Meng Ao raised his hand to sign.

"He's in charge of a huge violent organization himself, and now he's going to continue to organize a team of powerful people. This will make many people more suspicious and suspicious of it. You must know that in the hearts of powerful people, it is important for you to be faithful, but it is even more important to limit your power. This has nothing to do with being faithful or unfaithful. โ€

"Besides, Nick is not faithful to anyone."

"Are you trying to say that some people don't want to ban S.H.I.E.L.D. all the time, thinking that Nick has too much power in his hands, so they won't think about making it easier for Nick?" Steve Rogers Road:

"It's not necessarily a ban, but it's certain that you want to weaken it. He just looks good. Meng Ao looked at Nick Fury, who was silent, with malice.

When he said this, Nick Fury did not interrupt or stop him, except that because the other party listening was Captain America Steve Rogers, which is not an ulterior secret, he also had the intention of giving Mr. Steve Rogers some inside history to the captain.

"You know a lot." Steve Rogers looked at Meng Ao.

"Look at me, senior advisor to S.H.I.E.L.D., I need to know more about what kind of organization I'm working with." Meng Ao pulled out an ID tag from his pocket and hung it around his neck in front of Steve Rogers and the black-faced Nick Fury.

"I've always liked the small, easy-to-carry ID tags, but Nick just wouldn't give them to me. Stark, who is a senior consultant like me, simply never wears this kind of consultant ID card and directly brushes his face. โ€

"Stark?" Steve Rogers looked up slightly: "Howard Stark's son? โ€

"Yes, it's Stark II, a big money named Tony Stark. I don't think you're going to like him. But strictly speaking, he's much more likable now, and when you saw him a year or two ago, I'm afraid the most you want to do after contact is strangle him. Meng Ao replied: "It's not much different from Howard Stark when he was younger. โ€

"He's part of the team too?" Steve Rogers looked at Nick Fury, who didn't have a very good sense of Howard Stark in the first place.

"He's useful." Nick Fury pondered his words, spoke very briefly, and glared at Meng Ao fiercely. However, Meng Ao ignored his glare.

"You know what, Captain, every time I see your face, I think of another person." Meng Ao looked at Steve Rogers strangely.

"Who?" Steve Rogers asked curiously.

"Surely you've never heard of him, a playboy who loves to show off as much as Tony Stark." Meng Ao said: "Johnny Storm. โ€

Steve Rogers continued to laugh awkwardly, he really didn't know who Johnny Storm was. In other words, since he woke up, he has known very few people. He even has a sense of detachment from this world. (To be continued......)
