Druid’s Marvel Travels

Chapter 84: Council’S Sense Of Crisis

Washington, the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D.

S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury was standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in his office, thinking.

He had just returned from a video conference with the World Security Council.

The emergence of the Asgardians has not only affected New Mexico, but even the United States.

As the supervisory department of S.H.I.E.L.D., the World Security Council, of course, learned the ins and outs of this incident at the first time.

Regardless of whether the Asgardians are the aliens they call themselves, or the gods in the myths and legends of the earth, they have already appeared on the earth alive and have done a big thing.

Ordinary earth weapons have no effect on them at all.

That’s why Nick Fury used the remains of the Destroyer armor to research weapons.

In fact, he was quite satisfied with the way Oaks handled it.

This kid deserves to be his ideal, the reconciler of the future Avengers organization.

Oaks knew very well that Banner couldn’t agree with their plan to build stronger weapons, and neither could Tony.

But Oaks is well aware of the necessity of this, but he can’t take the risk that S.H.I.E.L.D. will use Banner’s research to do things that Banner doesn’t like, thus causing him to resist.

So Oaks pointed out this matter directly, and later stripped Banner from this matter – you SHIELD play whatever you like, let’s go back to the company to work.

This successfully removed Banner from his involvement in the New Mexico field study.

Otherwise, it is obviously inappropriate for S.H.I.E.L.D. to ignore a top scientist like Banner and hide the Destroyer for research on its own.

“Dong dong ~ creak ~”

Two knocks on the door, obviously very perfunctory, and the door of the office opened.

Nick Fury frowned and turned his head to look – which idiot came in without permission…

Then his brows stretched out.

Those who come are indeed qualified to do so.

“Hi, man, are you done?”

With a smile, he turned around and walked forward, gave the person a warm hug, and glanced outside with one eye:

“It’s all done?”

“Of course, but this time, it really exceeded my expectations.”

The visitor was smiling until his face was wrinkled. He looked up and down Nick Fury for a while with satisfaction:

“As expected of the person I liked, he did a beautiful job… Now, those guys won’t always talk about funding and authority issues beside my ears.”

Alexander Pierce, the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., is now the director of liaison between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the World Security Council, and is also the secretary-general of the council.

As a boss who once rejected the Nobel Peace Prize, and single-handedly discovered and promoted the current director Nick Fury, he has the same tenth-level permission as Nick Fury.

It is precisely because of his focus on dealing with the World Security Council that S.H.I.E.L.D. has gradually acquired a larger budget and more authority over the years.

Of course, as the supreme leader of Hydra in SHIELD’s lair, even among the Hydra branches around the world, Pierce is a top giant and a pivotal branch leader.

In recent years, Pierce must try his best to expand S.H.I.E.L.D.

But as the saying goes, “A hunter without a target is nothing”.

Compared with the growing scale of S.H.I.E.L.D., the security threats in the world are now… a bit insufficient.

In recent years, Pierce, with his excellent political experience and acumen, has been dealing with the supervision of the Council, desperately trying to get oil and water——

In Nick Fury’s view, the old leader was trying to avoid bureaucratic constraints on the S.H.I.E.L.D. operations he led, and he was very grateful to Pierce for this.

Indeed, he is indeed an old comrade who has made outstanding contributions to world security.

But no matter how eloquent Pierce was, he gradually began to be unable to withstand the pressure of the council——

Especially in recent years, with the rapid development of information technology, the channels and speed of the public to receive information have undergone earth-shaking changes. Many actions of S.H.I.E.L.D. have caused public panic and even a certain degree of hostility, as well as many follow-up issues.

This also makes the governments of various countries, who are usually responsible for wiping the bottom of SHIELD, have more and more opinions on SHIELD——

And the Council is clearly not ignoring the situation.

This is also one of the official statements that S.H.I.E.L.D. has repeatedly rejected Nick Fury’s “Avengers Project”.

But this time is different.

“According to our investigation of the battle scene on the edge of Guqiao Town, the council has a clear understanding of how much threat a single Thor can pose to the security of the world.”

Nick Fury greeted Pierce to sit down and prepared to pour him a cup of coffee. After thinking about it, he came to the desk again, took out a small box, and went back to replace the coffee beans on the coffee machine.

“Oh! It smells so good… You still have such good things?”

Pierce raised his eyebrows. SHIELD’s agent coffee is already high-quality. After all, they are only treated as civil servants…

But this kind of coffee, he has tasted countless top-quality products, can’t compare!

“Looking for an interesting kid.”

Nick Fury shrugged, and Pierce showed a clear look:

“Environmental consultant? This coffee is more suitable for our age than the acorn, a drink popular with young people.”

“It sounds like I’m very old.”

Nick Fury took a sip of his coffee with satisfaction and gritted his teeth a bit – this thing is a giveaway of the “deal”…

For the time being, he didn’t want to let these embarrassing emotions affect his thinking~www.readwn.com~ So he put down the coffee:

“The crown prince of Asgard obviously shocked a handful of old stubborn members of the council.”

“Well, according to them, the earth, which is Midgard, is still one of their vassals.”

Pierce sighed and shook his head:

“Although for some unknown reason, Asgard does not seem to have reaffirmed their ‘rulership’ over the countries of the earth today, the return of the Asgard crown prince from the earth will make their attitude towards the earth happen. What changes?

If the legendary father of the gods, the king of heaven, Odin, really brightened his mind, thinking that he still has a large piece of “territory” and ignored it for a long time, would he suddenly want to re-declare sovereignty?

At that time, it is absolutely impossible for the earth to accept, this is something that the Council absolutely does not allow——

But if there is no force to protect, the earth is not even qualified to refuse. ”

“So they finally approved the ‘Avengers Project’.”

Nick Fury snorted coldly:

“These guys were still worried about how giving S.H.I.E.L.D. more power… It turns out I wasn’t unfounded.”

“Well, so the ‘Tianma Project’ can also be restarted.”

Pierce had a serious expression on his face:

“I suggest going straight to the weaponization stage – what we need most at the moment is a powerful weapon that can effectively deter possible enemies.

Compared to analyzing the completely unfamiliar wreckage of the Destroyer, the Pegasus Project with pre-research data can obviously produce results faster. ”

“…”

Nick Fury was silent for a while, looked at the serious eyes of his old boss, and finally nodded slowly:

“it is good!”
