Cyborg

Washington, Tri-Wing Building. .

The building was dark. Nick Fury, who was sitting behind his desk with his head down, calmly listened to the work report of Natasha who was supported by Hill. After Natasha was taken to treatment, he was silent for a full minute. , and then punched the table hard. Deep in his throat, a low roar like a wild beast sounded in the office, and the anger contained in it was indescribable.

It is hard to imagine that a total of 240 SHIELD soldiers were lost in one mission.

It is almost impossible for these experienced elite soldiers and agents to fall into the enemy's trap without realizing it...

The occurrence of this situation can only explain one problem. The enemy knows them well...

As the director of SHIELD, he cannot allow himself to make mistakes. The consequences of his mistakes are... all of this!

"Director, what are you going to do?..."

The door to the office was pushed open, and Hill, wearing a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent combat uniform, walked in.

Nick Fury focused his single eye on the indifferent woman who walked in, then took a deep breath, quickly calmed down, and asked in a deep voice, "Hill, how is the Gardler you investigated?"

"No clue..."

There was no expression on Hill's beautiful face, but after listening to Natasha's report, his eyes were unusually cold.

"Inside S.H.I.E.L.D., there are fifteen people named Gardler, and there are eight of them with level four authority. However, all of these people were transferred from their posts and then died in the mission. The last one happened to die today. in the explosion, and..."

When Hill said this, he paused slightly, took a deep look at Nick Fury, and then said in a deep voice

"The decree used is signed by you personally."

As an elite agent, her work experience told her to doubt everything and everyone, but her instinct was not to believe that Nick Fury could be Hydra. If so, then the world would be crazy.

"Tonight's attack has been confirmed to be the Hydra organization, and from the work reports of Agent Natasha, it has been confirmed that Hydra has mastered the technology of large-scale production of steel soldiers and took away Ivan Anton. , I believe you and I know better what this means.”

"War Horse is about to begin, and we need to prepare early."

Fury's eyes became dangerous, both of them were silent, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became depressing. After more than ten breaths, Nick Fury crossed his hands in front of him, and his one eye shone with coldness. of light.

"I have decided to conduct a major review of the entire S.H.I.E.L.D., all members, including you and me!"

Hill didn't seem surprised at all and said expressionlessly.

"All-hands review? This requires two Level [-] clearances and requires Security Council approval."

"I'm giving orders, not consulting with you."

Fury leaned forward, his one eye shining like a beast, staring at Hill and saying solemnly, "As for Minister Pierce and the Security Council, I will explain it to them personally."

"Yes, Chief!"

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Hill's mouth, but it disappeared in an instant.

……

On the top floor of the Tri-Wing Building, Alexander Pierce's face was equally dark. He had just received news that Hydra's numerous automatic defense systems and data computing systems had completely collapsed.

There is only one reason for this situation. Pierce's fists were clenched tightly, and his palms were even slightly white because of the force.

Something happened to Dr. Zola...

The series of events tonight were not his instructions. He tried his best to implement the insight plan. Before the plan was successful, he would never do such stupid things as destroying the city wall.

He tried to contact that idiot Zola, but got no response, which confirmed this guess from the side.

"This arrogant fool..."

Pierce gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice. Regardless of whether he liked Dr. Zola or not, he was the core of the Insight Project. Obviously something went wrong with Dr. Zola. The Insight Project, which had cost him more than ten years of hard work, was almost bankrupt.

Pursing his lips, Pierce resisted the urge to lift the table, and sat down with his head on his head, thinking quickly in his head about how to save the current situation.

Likewise, what puzzled him even more was who actually destroyed Dr. Zola and took away Ivan.

As the leader of Hydra, he certainly knew that the last thing in the report about Hydra Iron Warriors snatching Ivan was completely nonsense.

But the question is who stole Ivan?There can be no problem with SHIELD's mission report.

Or does Nick Fury already have doubts about him?

Thinking of this possibility, Pierce couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his face suddenly became even more ugly.

"It seems you already know the news!"

The door was pushed open, there were steady and orderly footsteps, and then Nick Fury's gentle voice came. He walked to Pierce's desk and sat down.

"To be honest, I really don't want to know." Pierce's pupils shrank slightly, and then he quickly took a breath and said with a wry smile. As one of the only two holders of the ten-level authority of S.H.I.E.L.D., he knew This kind of thing is really normal.

"With the loss of 240 nine elite soldiers, I am ready to face the Security Council's questioning! Damn it! I thought I would only see Hydra's name in the archives of history in this life."

He raised his head and glanced at Nick Fury, and then asked in a deep voice, "If this hadn't happened, I'm afraid you wouldn't have come to my office. Tell me! What do you want to do? How can I help you?"

A rare flash of smile appeared on Nick Fury's face. It was precisely because of a leader like Pierce that he could show off his talents in SHIELD without any scruples.

"Pierce, the war is about to begin! But the scary thing is that Hydra may have been infiltrated by them within us, or even within SHIELD."

Facing Pierce, Nick Fury said it without reservation. After all, SHIELD had no secrets about Pierce, but he probably would never have thought that the minister in front of him, the department directly under him, was the largest in SHIELD. Insider.

After all, it is ridiculous that the chairman of a company is a commercial spy for a hostile company.

Pierce narrowed his eyes. He looked at Nick Fury carefully, trying to get some clues from his face. Did he already suspect that he was testing?Or is he just here to discuss things with me?

"While we were not paying attention, Hydra had grown up again, and was even more terrifying before, but I am confident that I can kick them to hell, but before that..."

Nick Fury raised his head, looked at Pierce with one eye, and said in a deep voice, "Before the war begins, we must clean up internally. I want to apply for a major review within SHIELD... The targets of the review include you and me."

Pierce's left little finger twitched unconsciously, and he thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "You need my authorization? But now is probably not the time for a major review!"

"why?"

Nick Fury asked in confusion.

"Everyone is reviewing it. This kind of thing must be reported to the Security Council. S.H.I.E.L.D. was infiltrated by Hydra, and a full 240 soldiers were lost. Do you know what they will think?"

Pierce tapped his fingers lightly on the table and asked while thinking.

"Even if they ask me to take the blame and resign, I still have to clean up SHIELD, otherwise..."

Nick Fury and Pierce are each in charge of military and political affairs, which are also areas in which they are very good at each other. Therefore, as a pair, they never ask about each other's affairs.

"Only in times of war, the military is the most important. But now, there are too many government departments and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s functions overlap. It's like a soldier is equipped with three main weapons at the same time, and S.H.I.E.L.D. is the biggest As for the heaviest one, many people already have opinions. At this time, a large-scale internal purge will only give them the leverage to attack SHIELD."

"So the Security Council has deemed SHIELD redundant?"

Nick Fury leaned forward slightly, and then asked in a gentle voice with a hint of mockery.

"No one would argue that SHIELD is redundant, but..."

Pierce stood up, walked to the window, took a deep breath and said, "The World Security Council's patience with S.H.I.E.L.D. is waning."

"Listen, Pierce."

Nick Fury, who silently listened to Pierce's opinion, was silent for a moment, and then stood up. That one eye was filled with a terrifying light.

"How to explain to the Security Council, that is your job, and what I have to do now is to find every Hydra..."

"Find them upstairs, throw them down from the stairs, find them in the toilet, save them and drown them in the toilet. In short, only when all these guys die, can this bullshit world usher in bullshit peace!"

"Don't I want to?" Pierce slammed his hands on the table and growled angrily, "But I also have to care about the overall situation. You and I both know how powerful Hydra is, but now we know nothing about them. , if SHIELD is shut down by the Security Council now, who do you think will be their opponent? CIA? Or FBA? "

"The impact of a few spies cannot be as great as that of the Security Council."

Pierce also raised his voice and said in a voice that could not be disobeyed.

"The matter of S.H.I.E.L.D. being infiltrated by Hydra must be sealed. It must not be reported to the Security Council, let alone cause such a big commotion."

After speaking, he paused, glanced at Nick Fury, who had a dark face, and then sighed and said

"But the review must be carried out. I suggest setting up a review team to review personnel in batches. This may take longer, but it is more secretive. The most important thing is that it can bypass the Security Council."

After Pierce finished speaking, the two looked at each other in silence. Finally, Nick Fury sighed, seemingly compromising, and said in a deep voice

"Okay, do as you say."
