Warlock of the Marvel Universe

Chapter 24 Pierce’s Rhetoric

It has been a day since the raid on the Dead End Gang ended, and Nick Fury has been staying in his office without leaving.The result of this operation can be said to have made him uneasy.Although it was confirmed that the resurgence of Hydra was not a rumor or conjecture, it also proved that the matter was more complicated and troublesome. Hydra people had infiltrated into government officials, and there might even be undercover agents within S.H.I.E.L.D.

Troubled by these things, Nick Fury almost stayed up all night.He has been considering that the possibility of a Hydra insider in SHIELD is very high. In order to dig out this insider, internal review is necessary and necessary.But how broad should the review be?Who will judge?How long will the trial last?How intense should the censorship be?Is it a simple question and answer and investigation, or is it a lie detector and forced water supply?And how can we review it without affecting the normal work of S.H.I.E.L.D.?

There are so many things to consider in all these aspects.Da da da da. At this moment, a knock on the door interrupted Nick Fury's thoughts. Before he could get his permission, the door was pushed open. This made Nick Fury feel a little surprised, but when he saw the person who came in, he I was relieved, the person who came was none other than Alexander Pierce, the minister of S.H.I.E.L.D., who had the same tenth-level authority as him, and the reason why Nick Fury was able to become director was inseparable from Pierce's promotion.Moreover, the two of them currently have a good personal relationship, so they are both old superiors and old friends, so naturally they can be casual and don't have to pay so much attention to rules.

Seeing that Pierce was coming, Nick Fury immediately greeted him enthusiastically, "Hey, man. How come you have time to come to my place instead of chatting with the guys from the World Security Council?"

In response to Nick Fury's joke, Pierce naturally replied, "World peace cannot be achieved through chatting, it requires real work. But you look a little tired."

Nick Fury took out a bottle of whiskey from the cabinet, and after pouring it into two glasses, he picked up a glass and pushed one glass to Pierce. "This is the price of doing something real. You should have heard about that too." Alright."

"If you are talking about Hydra, I did hear about it." Pierce picked up the wine glass and took a sip. "Also, is drinking during working hours really okay?"

A day has passed, and the minister with level [-] authority knows that this matter is normal. Anyway, the highest level of confidentiality is level [-], and he can't get past it no matter what.

"Are you going to expose me?" Nick Fury smiled, and then took another sip. "What do you think about this matter?"

Pierce put down the wine glass, "Unexpected, really unexpected. I thought I would only see the name Hydra in historical documents in this life." Then he glanced at Nick Fury again, "I won't expose you, But if you get drunk, I will hang you on the rooftop to sober up."

Nick Fury took another sip and gave Pierce a provocative look, which meant you couldn't carry me anyway. "I was also shocked, and what shocked me even more was that Hydra may have spies inside government officials and even within S.H.I.E.L.D."

Nick Fury said it without reservation. He knew that spies were planted inside, but he never imagined that the minister in front of him was the biggest insider.After all, it is ridiculous that the chairman of a company is a commercial spy for a foreign company.

Pierce sighed with worry, "I heard about the results of the operation. When we weren't paying attention, Hydra became a again."

Grow up. Then he blamed himself and said, "I didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen when you and I were in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D." "

Looking at his old friend who was blaming himself, Nick Fury comforted him, "This is not your responsibility, and it's not too late now. Now that they have been exposed, I will kill all those lunatics sooner or later."

After listening to Nick Fury's words, Pierce's left little finger twitched unconsciously, "Okay, this is your strength. What are you going to do?"

Nick Fury put his hands down and said, "The first thing is to clean up the interior. We must first ensure internal security before we can talk about anything else?"

Ensure internal security?Then I'm done playing.So Pierce took out a cell phone and said, "I have a document here that I think you should take a look at. This is an electronic copy. The original is in the evidence room."

Nick Fury also took out his phone, swiped it on Pierce's phone, and the file was downloaded.This document was exactly the one that Pierce ordered Sylvett to forge. The content was a plan for the police department. The police chief, who was framed as a member of Hydra and committed suicide by poisoning, wanted to be promoted to another level for the sake of political performance. Prepare to symbolically suppress the Dead End Gang. The operation time is the same day as the SHIELD operation, but it is scheduled to be that night.

Nick Fury read it once and immediately understood the significance of this document.It suggests that those little punks were probably just out to take shelter because of the police department's actions, rather than someone leaking the secret from SHIELD, and it was all a complete coincidence.

After reading it, Nick Fury put the phone aside and said, "Do you believe this document?"

Pierce smiled "Honestly? I don't believe a single punctuation mark. But it's a good excuse, isn't it?"

"Excuse? What excuse?" Nick Fury asked in confusion.

"An excuse not to conduct a global trial review." Pierce finally stated his purpose.

"No global review? Why?" Although it has not been finalized, Nick Fury prefers a global review.But now that Minister Pierce clearly disapproves, we might as well listen to his opinion first.

"Fury, you have to know that SHIELD is also subject to supervision. Hydra has reappeared, and its personnel have even infiltrated government personnel and SHIELD. Such a big thing must be reported to the World Security Council, you know What would they think?" Pierce said.

Maybe it’s because activists don’t like to engage in politics. Nick Fury was obviously very impatient after hearing this. “I don’t care what those bullshit bureaucrats think. They are all blind. As long as they know about the nuclear warheads around the world, they are still old.” Lying quietly in the warehouse, they thought that the world would be peaceful and everything would be fine."

"World peace, yes, that's the word. The world is too stable now. This is a good thing..." Pierce stood up and walked around the room. "The time when the military pays the most attention is during the war. At that time, no matter what happens, There are not many opinions on how to increase military spending, and the same goes for SHIELD. It is most trusted only when the current situation is turbulent. Hum, I really miss the Cold War, as if a world war will start in the next moment, then But it was the golden age of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"So? The World Security Council thinks SHIELD is redundant?" Nick Fury curled his lips disdainfully. "And I don't miss the Cold War either."
