Chapter 108: A Simple and Straightforward Way to Get Intelligence
Find Tony Stark and retrieve the Cosmic Cube. Although this plan is very simple, Red didn't expect to hit a wall at the beginning-
Where did Iron Man go.
"You want to find Tony? But unfortunately, I can't help you either. ”
Red's first instinct was to find the person most likely to know where Tony was, his girlfriend — but now an ex-girlfriend.
"Tony and I haven't seen each other for six months, and at first Colonel Rhodes and Harpy were able to contact him occasionally, but since the war in Wakanda began, Tony has almost cut off contact with all of us. And he's in charge of the Stark Group branch in Wakanda, which is highly automated, and all day-to-day tasks, including cooperation with the United States military, are handled by AI and Tony himself. ”
Pepper looked happy to meet Red, but there was a clear sadness in Tony's eyes when she mentioned it.
"Anyway, it's great that you've been caught up in the tornado in New Mexico for the rest of your life. Now that you've recovered from your short-term amnesia, I'd love to welcome you back to the Stark Group. ”
Although Pepper warmly invited, Red still politely declined Pepper's invitation, after all, he might want to kill her ex-boyfriend next, and it was better to keep a distance from her at this time.
However, Red also found a clue from Little Pepper that Tony Stark had another ally in the country.
"We need to meet Thaddeus Ross and have something to ask him."
In the S.H.I.E.L.D. office, Nick Fury stared at Red with a wary expression.
"What do you want to do? I'm not going to help you. He's a three-star general in the United States, and he's higher than me! If you offend him, even if I am in great trouble, if you want to die, don't drag me into the water. ”
However, Red keenly picked up a few key messages from Nick Fury's words.
Nick Fury said that the "single level" is higher than him, indicating that the actual status and influence of Nick Fury may not be lower than Ross;
Nick Fury said that offending Rose would be in big trouble, which means that it is just trouble, and it is not impossible to solve;
So Red stared at Nick Fury for a moment, then sighed softly.
"You're mistaken, Director Fury. Do I look like someone who is reckless and reckless? Do you think I'm going to anger a dignified United States general? ”
Fury remained silent, but his one-eyed, suspicious gaze and his finger tapping on the table of a newspaper with the headline "Wakanda" on it were the best answers.
"I'll be honest with you, Director Fury. I just want to settle a feud with Tony Stark, and you want to settle Tony's problem too, don't you? ”
Hearing Red's words, Fury finally looked a little relieved.
"I ...... Well, I'll find a way to arrange a meeting for you, but under my supervision. No matter what happens, you must exercise restraint and not engage in any conflict—"
"Ah, Director Fury, you may not have heard me clearly. I'm not talking about 'I want to meet with Rose,' I'm talking about 'I need to meet with Rose.'" ”
At this moment, Director Nicholas Fury had a very nasty foreboding feeling in his heart, and it was a familiar premonition, as if he had experienced such a thing not long ago.
Is this kid the kind of person who comes to ask for other people's opinions when he wants to do something?
"In fact, now my companion has met with General Ross."
Red said lightly, ignoring the fact that the head of the S.H.I.E.L.D. director in front of him gradually turned blue.
"I'm here to ask you to help clean up the mess."
——
"I have to say, this old guy is quite tough, I tied him with a high-temperature red light whip, Hela stabbed 616 miniature short swords on him, and Lingxing bit off his flesh piece by piece, and he didn't say a word."
Nick Fury thought that he had seen the Skrull, Captain Marvel, the Elemental Eater, and countless winds and waves in his life, and his nerves were tough enough.
But when he walked into Red Douglas' home in Queens, New York, he felt like his brain was instantly shut down.
"It wasn't until you asked me to show him Betty Ross pictures and the synthesized screams that he spat out all the information — everything you want to know is here, I'm going to Parker's house next door, and Peter's kid wants me to help with his tech handwork."
Ivan Vanko handed a wad of documents to Red, patted Nick Fury, who was standing still, on the shoulder, wiped his freshly washed hands with his fur coat, and walked to the door humming a Soviet ditty.
Nick Fury felt a little hard to breathe, and he resisted the urge to pull out his pistol and crash the man in front of him - mainly because he knew that he couldn't kill Red even if he did.
"You're crazy, you're completely insane—do you know what the consequences will be if you torture a general of the United States like this?!"
For the torture of General Rose, Red did not have any psychological burden. Although he had no grudges with this guy before, Red also knew that as a high-ranking military member of the United States, he had led many inhumane human experiments, the birth of Abomination, and his participation in many foreign wars.
Although many people compare Amanda Waller to Nick Fury, General Ross is actually more similar to Amanda Waller in personality and behavior, so Red naturally has little affection for the Thunderbolt General.
"Yes, that's why I'm looking for you. I need you to use S.H.I.E.L.D. resources to help me hide Thaddeus Rose's disappearance, you can lie about him on a secret mission, or find someone to disguise his identity for a while - I know you know some of the Skruls. ”
Red looked through the information that Ivan tortured out, which contained the locations of several secret fully automatic mechanical arsenals or laboratories set up overseas by Ross and Tony, which could be Tony's current location.
"I don't want to be caught by surprise, and I don't want the United States army to interfere with my operations. When this is over, my partner and I will either settle in Wakanda or Asgard...... When the time comes, it doesn't matter how Ross wants to retaliate. ”
Just as Nick Fury was still excitedly trying to say something to Red, Red frowned slightly and handed the information in his hand to Nick Fury,
"It seems that this matter is also related to you, and Ross and Tony seem to have something to do with Hydra as well...... Dominating the world with mechanical soldiers is indeed to Hydra's taste. ”
Nick Fury's eyes also flashed with a cold light, and he could see that in addition to Latville, Madrid and other places that were highlighted in the information, there were also Sokovia, as well as the names of Baron Straker and Dr. Liszt marked next to him.
Now that Nick Fury has been reminded and investigated by Red, of course, it has been confirmed that they are high-level members of Hydra, which means that Tony and Rose have now cooperated with Hydra in actual research.
"Ross isn't dead yet, I'll ask Natasha to come over right away, she's more professional in interrogation—"
"No, maybe not...... I've found my target. ”
Red noticed that the part of Sokovia's research base had words that he cared about.
"I should have thought of it earlier, I didn't have to find Tony directly, I just had to find the Cosmic Rubik's Cube. And the Cosmic Cube has a small amount of gamma radiation—"
"Dr. Bruce Banner, hopefully he hasn't turned big by the time I find him."
