Chapter 868: Brilliant Stars (13)
"Asgard?? You just said that Asgard's fleet ...... How did they end up in the solar system? How could it be...... Are they trying to ......?"
General Ross stammered a little at the end, and felt a cold sweat break out on his back, but soon a major walked in, saluted the generals, and said:
"Sir, we just received a call from the Holy of Holies of Holies that Asgard is patrolling the Nine Kingdoms, and that the Atrium Earth, as a member of the Nine Kingdoms, needs to cooperate......"
"Asgard's warship found that the sanitary situation in the solar system is not optimistic, and urged us to rectify it as soon as possible, there should not be too much space equipment in space, and the transport equipment and spacecraft should be parked neatly......"
"In addition, in order to prevent too many cosmic traffic accidents in the solar system, their frigate is helping us clean up space junk."
"Also, this cleaning service is charged, the United Nations has published the bill for the cleaning service, other countries have accepted it, and our Mr. President is about to sign it......"
"Can't sign !!" The old general immediately shouted: "Why are they...... They...... We can't...... They can't! The president can't sign it!! ”
Seeing that he was already a little incoherent, Rose immediately walked up and said, "Where is Mr. President?" Stop him at once, we can't recognize this bill......"
The major was a little embarrassed, he said: "This bill is actually quite cheap, and Congress passed it without even going through a second round of approval." ”
"Moreover, the Holy One said that Thor, the new god king of Asgard, intends to create a new crown, hoping to collect special metals in the nine kingdoms, symbolizing the unity of the nine kingdoms."
"Mr. President thinks this could stimulate the price of vibranium, which is, after all, our specialty metal."
"And the United States is the country with the highest stock of vibranium in the world except for Wakanda, and the vibranium has fallen too much, and the loss to us is too great, if it can rise back a little, it can be regarded as recovering the loss, for this reason, Congress wants to build a good relationship with Asgard......"
"Moreover, the United Nations said that space junk is a long-term problem that needs to be solved during the explosion of human technology, and it can be solved with our own technology, although it is possible, but the cost is too high, and they are planning to sign a long-term cleaning service agreement with Asgard......"
"Mr. Admiral!! Mr. Admiral!! Are you awake!! Doctor!!! Doctor!!! Rose immediately rushed over to support the old general who had fallen with his eyes rolled, and all the generals were in a mess, holding the old general who had fainted, at a loss.
That afternoon, the sky over New York was still so blue, and sitting in the car from the hospital back to the city, Rose felt the impermanence of life for the first time, and this was just the beginning.
Although the first two launches failed, they were all launched with a streamlined version of the master core, so the loss was not so great, and everyone could only hope for the third launch.
The third launch was delayed for two weeks, and everyone made another calculation, trying to eliminate all surprises as much as possible, and strive to succeed once, but only once.
On the day of the launch, almost all the officers of the Tartu faction came to the launch center, and at the moment of the rocket's launch, everyone's hearts rose to their throats.
During the flight, there was no collision with space junk, and after successfully reaching the target location, there were no laser weapons that suddenly appeared, and the base was unfolded very smoothly, and cheers resounded throughout the launch center.
Then, they saw a small dot, from far to near, close to the base, and compared to the huge Hongmenlan base, the figure seemed incomparably smaller, but it was still captured.
"There are intruders?!! Hurry up, hurry up! Start your defenses!! Isn't it equipped with weapons?!! ”
"Activate your weapons! Activate your weapons! Don't let him get near the base!! ”
Both the general and the researcher shouted, but the researcher in charge of the operation wiped the sweat from his head and said, "No! The base has just been deployed, and the energy is not yet fully connected to the defense equipment, and the energy is being transmitted, currently 13%, and it will be transmitted in three minutes......"
The figure stood far away, just a small black dot in the camera, and it was completely impossible to see who it was, and it didn't look big.
He didn't crush the base directly as soon as he showed up, like Magneto, which made everyone think that he definitely didn't attack the base so quickly.
Who knows, the figure seemed to turn around in place, and then threw out something, and everyone in the launch center saw that an aperture from far to near, at an extremely fast speed, with unparalleled power, slid through the lens with a "whoosh", and then, accurately hit the energy core of the base,
When the brilliant fireworks reappeared on the screen, the generals still did not know the name of the aperture they saw that day, but the light of the fireworks shone on their faces much brighter than the sunset in New York.
The light lit up again, and they had never seen it so clearly, the stars of this universe.
It was still a peaceful day on Earth, and almost no one knew what happened in space, but almost all of New York heard the sound of a few people breaking their hearts.
The next day, in the conference room of the military base, it can be said that there was a dead air, except for the silence of everyone, there were more than half of the people, most of the people who left went to explain the matter to their superiors, and the rest went to the hospital.
This incident did not contribute much to the grand cause of the military, but made a great contribution to the promotion of other young officers who were waiting to be promoted.
In the silence, Rose was the first to speak: "The plan can't just end like this, otherwise we will lose more ......"
Another officer gritted his teeth and hammered the table and said, "There must be a conspiracy in this, someone is hindering us!!" ”
"What about that aperture from yesterday? Didn't you send someone to recycle it? Another general asked, and the general next to him shook his head and said, "Go, we also found Stark to call up the surveillance of the Mercury base, and that aperture disappeared out of thin air......"
"What do you mean?"
"It's literal, in the middle of the surveillance, the aperture that detonated the Red Gate Orchid base disappeared in an instant, no trace was captured, and no one knew where it went."
"Moreover, according to the analysis report given by Stark, the light scattered by the aperture does not conform to the optical properties of our dimension, and it is very likely that it is left by a high-dimensional visitor."
"But who can collude with the United Nations, Asgard and the so-called high-dimensional visitors, if he has the ability, why not just wipe out our transporter and cause so many accidents??" A young officer asked, puzzled.
"That's the problem." Another officer tapped his finger on the table and said, "If there is really someone targeting us in the shadows, then since he has the ability to mobilize other countries to launch space junk, and can connect with Asgard, and even contact some so-called high-dimensional visitors, then why doesn't he just let Asgard use the weapons of the warship to smash all our rockets?" ”
Rose shook his head, he couldn't figure out this question either, it stands to reason that if someone doesn't want them to complete this plan, such as mutants, then they just send Magneto up and crush the base, why do they do so many routines? What's the point of this other than wasting time and energy?
Ross himself knows that the military's launch vehicle transporters and equipment are basically undefended, because the development time has been too long, and even if they are fortified, they can't stop the current weapons, let alone a powerful mutant like Magneto.
Moreover, if the mutants knew about this plan, they would certainly not be in the quiet state they are now.
Several times before, when they were chased by the sentinel robots, they caused a storm in the city, hoping that the whole world would know that they were victims.
This time, the military threatens their fundamental interests, and if they knew, not to mention others, just Wolverine, they would definitely run rampant everywhere and ask for an explanation.
Ross himself knows that mutants seem to be divided, but in fact they have their own division of labor, Magneto and Professor X, one sings red face, the other sings white face, Wolverine seems to be reckless, but in fact, it is also a bargaining chip for mutants to negotiate.
Among the female mutants, the Phantom Cat, a relatively mild mutant, will play the role of a victim and cry on TV, while the more radical Storm Girl will give speeches everywhere, run her own media account, and output her own opinions.
If they knew the military's intentions, it would definitely be a storm in the city, in addition to the members of the X-Men who would open fire, the mutant brotherhood would definitely be on fire all over the world, and Magneto would not be idle, and he didn't do anything to threaten the president.
But now, nothing, all the students of Xavier's School for the Gifted and Talented Teenagers are in class normally, the mutant brotherhood is quiet, Magneto is still in the Andromeda galaxy and has not returned, even his daughter Polaris is nowhere to be found, and it doesn't look like his survival is threatened at all.
Other than that, Rose really couldn't think of anyone else who would be their enemy.
If you want to talk about Stark, I haven't seen him befriend mutants, and judging from his kind of personality, if he wants to oppose something, he will definitely find Congress noisily, maybe have to hold a few press conferences, and he won't get into the lab like he is now, and he won't even answer the phone.
Even less so Asgard and the Holy of Holies are transcendent organizations, the rest of the planet, and they simply don't need that.
The countries of the East only care about their own mutants in their own countries, and they deal with this problem very skillfully, and they do not worry about it at all, so they never take a position on it in the international community, and they will not jump out to do such a thing when they are busy with technological competition.
After thinking about it, the military only thought of one possibility, and that was S.H.I.E.L.D.
Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., scolded in the previous secret meeting, expressing an extremely strong opposition in a very rare manner, and he was righteous and righteous, and no one could persuade him.
Just when everyone looked at each other and understood that the other party thought of the same person, the conference phone placed in the center of the table rang, Rose reached out and pressed the button, and Nick's voice came from inside:
"Oh, oh, oh...... Look at what I saw, it looks like someone's spaceship exploded? ”
"Why, you really got your own mom into the sun? That's a pity, she doesn't even have a grave, and Aunt Susan next door finally can't hide that you are her illegitimate child? ”
"I told you a long time ago, you're not going to fucking make it!! It's like this!! Sooner or later!! You're going to blast into the sun with your mom!! There are no bones left!! ”
"That's the fucking consequence of your stupid decisions!! You don't want S.H.I.E.L.D. to wipe your ass!! ”
As various words that needed to be silenced erupted from Nick's mouth, the faces of all the generals grew darker and darker.
Not only that, but the next day Nick stabbed the matter to Congress.
Although Congress has acquiesced to this before, the premise is that you have to succeed, and if you succeed, nothing happens, and if you fail, you will embezzle military spending.
In addition, the military promised many anti-mutant organizations that they would succeed, and the pressure from those forces and organizations was also very great.
Nick was uncharacteristically determined and high-profile, so that the military unswervingly targeted him with suspicion.
After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the military have always been in competition, and last time the military cheated S.H.I.E.L.D., and S.H.I.E.L.D. has always wanted to get back on the field, Nick does have sufficient motives to commit crimes.
At the same time, he also has the means to commit crimes, after all, S.H.I.E.L.D. is also a transcendent organization, and it is easy to buy a certain country to launch space junk.
Nick has even personally contacted the god king Odin, and has also received foster care from Thor and Loki, so it is not surprising that he can ask Asgard to help, and as for the so-called high-dimensional visitors, only S.H.I.E.L.D. can have such strange people.
The motives and methods have been determined, and the suspicion of S.H.I.E.L.D. has become infinite, and in the eyes of the military, this is completely a trap made by S.H.I.E.L.D., and it is very likely that it is a trap that has spanned five years, just to completely bring down the Tartu faction.
The military's vigilance against Nick Fury was pulled to the highest, and at the same time, S.H.I.E.L.D. officially tore its face.
In order to shake off the pot and relieve the pressure, the lawsuit went to Congress and even to the newspapers, although the specific reason was not stated, but almost everyone knew that the two sides had almost become mortal enemies.
The military made such a big fuss, originally with the mentality of "I have lost all my pants, don't think about it", and put pressure on S.H.I.E.L.D., wanting them to help wipe their butts.
Military spokesmen took to the media to bombard the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. for inaction, the Tartu faction and several other factions and parliamentarians to put pressure on S.H.I.E.L.D., and many countries in the United Nations condemned Nick Fury's death......
Newspaper after newspaper flew out from all over the country and landed on Schiller's desk.
And on the front page of the last newspaper, Nick's face was clearly printed, and the headline was written in bold and bold—
"Yesterday, a gunshot rang out in Congress, and the head of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury, was assassinated and killed instantly."
