"Agent Coulson, you are in such a hurry to find me. Is our Iron Man doing anything new?" Nick Fury asked Phil Coulson on the other side of the video communication in the SHIELD headquarters.

"No, sir, but I found another very important intelligence and need to report it to you. Please take a look at this first!" Phil Coulson nodded seriously and sent a video report.

The moment Nick Fury opened the video, his eyes widened, staring at the woman who was speaking at the press conference in the video and the name "Peggy Carter" marked on the video.

"This Peggy Carter? Is it the Peggy Carter we know?" After the video was played, Nick Fury asked Coulson in disbelief. Although they were both directors of SHIELD, Nick Fury's era was really far away from Peggy Carter's era, and there were countless generations in between.

So Nick Fury and Peggy Carter did not have much contact.

So I'm not sure.

"It's hard to believe, but I think that's her!" Coulson took out a card from his pocket from the official "Captain America" ​​series of commemorative cards, the one of Peggy Carter in the Howling Commandos.

It was Peggy Carter in military uniform during World War II, looking heroic.

In Avengers 1, Nick Fury used this set of cards to stimulate Captain America, not just acting, but Coulson really liked it.

After all, in the Marvel world, Captain America has been a "global idol" since World War II.

Not only Phil Coulson, but even the Punisher, who usually looks indifferent and acts quite cruelly, was an idol of Captain America when he was young.

The retired old director of S.H.I.E.L.D. suddenly regained his youth and appeared in New York as a business president?

After getting Phil Coulson's confirmation, Nick Fury's mind flashed through countless thoughts, and then he asked, "What did the Carter Group do in New York? It just bought a piece of land and prepared to develop it with the government. Nothing else?"

"Indeed, there are some other things. Just after the Carter Group announced that it would acquire the land, several underworld organizations on that piece of land were almost devastated. I think this may be related to the Carter Group. Obviously, our predecessor is determined to get that piece of land, and according to our agents' in-depth investigation, we found something very interesting!" Coulson said.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Nick Fury showed an interested look.

"Those gangs that suffered a devastating blow are actually controlled by an organization called the Hand, so I checked the bureau's relevant intelligence on this organization, and found that according to the bureau's records, it should be just an ordinary transnational criminal group." Coulson said.

"Oh? Is there anything wrong with this record?" Nick Fury frowned upon hearing this. He had no impression of the name of the Hand, because for the always high-handed SHIELD, this kind of ordinary criminal organization was not their "dish".

Even ordinary terrorist attacks were ignored - like in the original plot, when Tony Stark was attacked and kidnapped, if Tony himself was not the son of Howard, the founder of SHIELD, SHIELD would not pay too much attention to him.

And even if they paid attention at the beginning, they obviously did not care much.

Otherwise, with SHIELD's intelligence network, would it be worse than the military?

Why did they wait until Tony escaped and returned to the United States before they came to the door?

- And the reason why SHIELD paid so much attention to Tony in the later period was more because he had a new identity as Iron Man at that time.

In fact, in most cases, SHIELD cares more about supernatural events around the world that may bring uncertain threats to world stability - that is, those things marked as 084 by SHIELD.

So the Hand, an organization that is just an ordinary criminal group on the surface, really doesn't catch Nick Fury's eye.

"Of course, sir, normally, a criminal group like this should develop wherever there is money to be made." Coulson said.

"So they appeared in New York, didn't they?" Nick Fury didn't realize what Coulson said was wrong.

"Normally, that's true, but according to our investigation, we found that in addition to New York, the main activity areas of this organization called the Hand in the past were not the prosperous places we imagined, but some remote and even barren lands, and there were no special resources found in these places.

In addition, according to the data, this organization first appeared in New York about ten years ago. In the past ten years, they have only been entrenched in Hell's Kitchen in New York. In addition to controlling some small local gangs, there is no sign of external expansion - more importantly, in the past ten years, this organization has been using various means to hinder the government's development of this area." Coulson shook his head and reported his findings to Nick Fury.

"You mean, the main areas of activity of the Hand in the past were all underdeveloped areas, in New York, and even in the United States. There is only Hell's Kitchen?" Hearing this, Nick Fury naturally understood the problem. "And it also hinders the government's development here?"

How can a criminal group go deep into the mountains and forests all day long?

Well, not entirely.

There are two types of criminal organizations that still like to run deep into the mountains and forests.

One is poachers, and the other is tomb robbers.

But obviously, according to Coulson's description of the Hand, the other party is not very compatible with either of them.

And they have only been working hard in Hell's Kitchen for ten years? Normally, this is not a big problem.

After all, such a chaotic place is indeed more suitable for hiding criminal activities.

But it is not right to have been hindering the development of this area for ten years.

In the final analysis, the main purpose of criminal groups is to make money.

And real estate transformation is the favorite high-profit project of many criminal groups.

As for losing the original territory? For normal criminal groups, it is not a problem at all, just move to another place to continue.

There is no need to fight to the death.

So the operation of the Hand to hinder development is not reasonable at all.

Not to mention that this is an external force.

So the behavior of the Hand must be due to other reasons.

"Yes, sir, I think we have always underestimated this organization. The secrets it hides are much deeper than we thought. I suspect that Ms. Carter suddenly appeared in New York to target this organization because she discovered some secrets about this organization, and this secret is hidden in Hell's Kitchen... even..." Coulson said.

"Even the secret of Ms. Carter's rejuvenation is here! Right?" Nick Fury took over what Coulson had not finished saying.

"Yes, sir!" Coulson nodded.

"I understand, you continue to pay close attention, I will arrange people to conduct an in-depth investigation of this organization as soon as possible!" Nick Fury nodded.

After hanging up the call, Nick Fury also called Alexander Pierce's secretary upstairs to confirm that the other party was in the office, and then went upstairs.

The first director of SHIELD reappeared in a young posture. Such a big thing is not something that he, the current director, can decide alone.
