Warlock of the Marvel Universe

911. After hearing the name, Evanson felt a little distant for a moment.After all, he hadn't awakened yet at that time, but that didn't mean he was unfamiliar with it.

2001年9月11日恐怖分子劫持的飞机撞击美国纽约世贸中心和华盛顿五角大楼的历史事件。根据事后调查遇难者人数高达2996人，经济损失也达到了2000亿美元。

Compared with this, what the so-called Mandarin did a few days ago, even if he got on Air Force One and approached the President of the United States, it could only be regarded as a small incident.Because the 911 incident caused world-wide panic, it marked the rise of terrorism.

But after so long, Peggy Carter mentioned it at this moment, and Evanson wondered if it might be related to recent events.

"Don't you think it's strange?" Peggy Carter asked Evanson as she walked to the elevator door to wait. "After joining SHIELD for so long and having a deep understanding of SHIELD's capabilities, doesn't it seem strange? Why didn’t S.H.I.E.L.D. fail to prevent 911?”

The two of them walked into the elevator at the same time. "The terrorists back then were not as complicated as they are now. They were all just ordinary people. Now it seems that their plan at that time was not complicated. Why didn't SHIELD prevent it from happening?"

Evanson thought about it and guessed, "Is it because I thought too much and made a misjudgment that delayed the opportunity?"

After the elevator door closed, Peggy Carter slowly shook her head, "There was no misjudgment back then."

"So what exactly did SHIELD do back then?" Evanson asked.

"Nothing was done." Peggy Carter seemed a little reluctant to mention, "They didn't do anything back then."

Evanson raised his eyebrows, "If that's the case, should I call this behavior a dereliction of duty or intentional indulgence?"

"Call him negligent." The elevator descended slowly, and Peggy Carter's tone also became lower. "But the responsibility does not lie with SHIELD."

"Oh" Evanson narrowed his eyes to express some confusion.

"The predecessor of S.H.I.E.L.D. is the U.S. Scientific Strategic Forces." Peggy Carter explained slowly. "It was established during World War II to fight against the Hydra force led by the Red Skull. However, after the victory of the war, Hydra was destroyed. After that, it had no value in continuing to exist, but it still survived and developed into today's S.H.I.E.L.D., why?"

"I heard that it was because some particularly difficult and bizarre cases occurred in the country at that time. Only the Scientific and Strategic Corps could solve them." Evanson said calmly.

"But it was just hanging on for a while." Peggy Carter smiled bitterly. "What really reshaped its value of existence was the Iron Curtain that enveloped the whole world."

"The Cold War," Evanson said.

"That's right." Peggy Carter nodded. "During the half-century-long Cold War, no country in the world felt safe. It seemed that it would enter a global nuclear war in the next moment, and human civilization would reach the end of the world. The end. In that terrifying and crazy era, the value of the Scientific Strategy Corps was inestimable. The US government paid more attention to it than during World War II, and all kinds of resources were tilted towards it, allowing it to develop rapidly. "

"There are still many people who call that time the golden age, but let me tell you in advance that I am not one of them."

Evenson nodded to express his understanding. Only when fires occur frequently can the value of firefighters be reflected.It is normal for organizations like S.H.I.E.L.D. to become popular during the Cold War, not to mention that there are people with ulterior motives who secretly contribute to various crises in the world and burnish their appearance.

"But one day the Cold War suddenly ended." Peggy Carter curled her lips. "It ended without any warning. Although the reasons for the end of the Cold War are clearly stated by the outside world, for those of us, even today there is no I want to understand why the Cold War ended so suddenly.”

"Perhaps there is a great being in the dark who really wants world peace." Evenson's mouth twitched. You must not understand, because the Cold War terminator is currently opening a bar in Los Angeles for vacation.

"Maybe." Peggy Carter shrugged her shoulders without comment. "But after the end of the golden age, the dark age came. The Cold War ended world peace, and SHIELD once again lost its value and faced the fate of being abolished and dismembered. In After barely supporting it for ten years, a turnaround suddenly occurred.”

"Is this 911?" Evanson thought that was it.

"That's right." At this time, the elevator had arrived at the parking lot, and the two people walked out of it. "The rise of terrorism has cast a veil of terror on the world. Terrorist organizations are not countries. They do not follow the rules and cause wanton destruction. Countries around the world are targeting them." Fear and hatred were stronger than the Cold War, so under those circumstances SHIELD took off again and successfully transformed into a world-wide organization, directly under the World Security Council, with its power reaching its peak."

"When 911 happened, SHIELD was in an embarrassing situation and its functions were almost shut down, so the responsibility did not lie with him." Peggy Carter looked at no one around and whispered to Evanson, "But because of this incident, SHIELD It is an indisputable fact that the Shield has emerged from the predicament and gained greater power. I am afraid that someone has tasted the sweetness of this."

"So you think?" Evanson scratched his head. He now understood what Peggy Carter wanted to say. "This abnormal behavior of SHIELD is to reshape the situation of the past in order to gain more power." If Killian's plan succeeds this time, SHIELD will indeed be held accountable, and Nick Fury may be scolded at the committee, but what will be the result? In order to avoid similar things from happening again, the committee can only put a larger The power is put into the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D.In this way, Killian is really an out-and-out clown. The plan he worked so hard to weave can become a stepping stone in the eyes of some people by just watching indifferently.All the results achieved after the success of his plan will only become a tribute to the more powerful S.H.I.E.L.D.

"It's not impossible." Peggy Carter gritted her teeth and said, "I know that what Nick Fury seeks is never power, but power is a necessary means, a necessary means to better protect the world."

"In order to better protect the world, we must first keep him under our control." A sneer appeared on the corner of Evanson's mouth. "I understand this truth, but this is not the purpose of SHIELD."

"This is what I'm most worried about." Peggy Carter's voice was bitter. "How far has that organization developed within SHIELD? Even Nick Fury was induced by them."

"Hydra is everywhere."
