Chapter 217
“Hill, what do you think of that matter?” After everyone else left, Nick Fury looked towards Maria Hill with a serious face.
“It’s still unclear, everything has to wait until the specific investigation.” Hill slightly shook the head, said: “Garrett may not really be related to the influence, maybe everything is really just a coincidence. “
The influence refers to Hydra hidden in SHIELD. Of course, neither Nick Fury nor Maria Hill know that they are facing Hydra, which they think is halfway. Hydra was completely wiped out a century ago.
Until now, Nick Fury always felt something was wrong with SHIELD, but he couldn’t tell what went wrong. However, when she suddenly checked SHIELD’s death records over the years, Caught Hill’s attention.
There are some things in these Death records. After careful verification, traces of forgery were discovered.
Hill immediately reported Coulson’s discovery to Nick Fury secretly, and Nick Fury immediately authorized Hill to conduct a full investigation.
After several months of secret and detailed investigation, Hill and Nick Fury surprisingly discovered that in some missions and personnel and material transfers in recent years, nearly one third did not pass him. It is done directly after agreeing, and even the signatures on many documents are forged.
Such a discovery made Hill and Nick Fury dare not act rashly. He didn’t know where the secret influence came from.
Although Fury is the Director of SHIELD, he can’t hide the sky with one hand in SHIELD, and also the existence of the World Security Council on his head is precisely because of the World Security Council With the existence of SHIELD, the influence inside SHIELD is also tangled and complicated.
The strongest is undoubtedly a series of close followers of Nick Fury and himself, followed by the strength of countries infiltrating SHIELD. After all, SHIELD is a joint organization composed of elites from various countries, and it is impossible to not be penetrated by countries. .
Of course, the strongest among them should belong to the influence of the United States. SHIELD itself is within the United States. Most of the agents are from the United States FBI, CIA and military elites. Even Nick Fury himself is from the CIA.
This is also the reason why the US Government allows SHIELD to exist. The World Security Council is part of the reason. More importantly, if the United States needs it, they can instantly hold SHIELD in their hands. No wonder SHIELD can Use military weapons of mass destruction in United States.
But now this division of strength has faintly changed. Nick Fury himself is the representative of the strength of the US, which is why he can sit on the position of Director of SHIELD. The support of the former Director Alexander Pierce is crucial. important.
Even now, quite a few of SHIELD are confidants of Alexander Pierce.
The situation discovered by Hill’s investigation shocked Nick Fury. It is obvious that there is a new influence hidden in SHIELD. This influence has deeply penetrated into all departments of SHIELD, even in Some of the high-level agents were also pulled into the water.
If we say that before, Nick Fury will definitely go to war and take all these people down as soon as possible, but in the current external situation, he must be careful, and Asgard’s threat to Earth must be ranked internally. Before suffering.
Thhor said that he is friendly to Earth and even willing to form an alliance with Earth, but as a political veteran Nick Fury is not so optimistic, because he knows better than anyone that Asgard’s boss is Thor’s father-King Odin, not as Prince Thor.
Especially Asgard is still in the midst of internal turmoil. In the end, whether Loki finally reigned, or Thor succeeded in bringing the chaos back anyway and regaining his own throne, nothing is known.
Even if Thor really finally regained the crown and formed an alliance with Earth, Nick Fury must carefully detect this influence, and finally hit it accurately, otherwise, the entire SHIELD may fall apart. .
“Hill, you are responsible for investigating Garrett’s affairs clearly. Must determine whether he did it personally or is it related to the influence.” After a pause, Nick Fury said indifferently: “This is the first Level 8 Agent to be found to have a problem. I hope to find other people from him. If he is alert, you know what to do.”
“Yes, Director.” Hill nodded coldly. As Nick Fury’s most trusted person and the default candidate for the next Director of SHIELD, Hill is very rational, and also appears strong and indifferent because of rationality. Fury is right. It was because of seeing this that Hill was carefully trained.
Previously, when Natasha mentioned that Ling Xiao was indifferent, Hill never spoke. Although it does not hurt to say that it is indifferent to her, she also does not want to join the Avengers super powerhouse. Too cold.
Indifference means that there are few weaknesses, and few weaknesses means that it is difficult to control. The reason why Tony Stark was the first person to introduce Avengers is that his father Howard relationship is only one of the reasons. Most of it is because Tony Stark is so controllable.
playboy Tony Stark, the Stark industry is in the United States. SHIELD really wants to deal with him in many ways. Of course, under normal circumstances, SHIELD will not easily move a famous American Billionaire, it’s hard to end up.
“What about Ling Xiao?” Hill looked at Nick Fury and asked subconsciously.
“We will wait until Asgard has a conclusion on this matter.” Nick Fury slightly shook the head, saying: “It is difficult for us to judge how much an exiled alien prince can represent. It’s still too little to understand.”
In fact, Nick Fury is very inclined to Ling Xiao to join Avengers. After all, neither Natasha nor Coulson’s report showed that Ling Xiao committed any crime. Discipline, the source of his assets also illustrates this point. At most, he is a bit uncomfortable. This is not a problem in Fury’s view. Are there few such people in SHIELD?
The most important thing now is the Thor and Asgard issues. Not only SHIELD is paying attention to this matter. The World Security Council and governments are also paying attention to the progress of the matter. The US President even used private channels to send letters. Once Thor returns to Earth from Asgard, he hopes Thor will be able to visit the White House immediately, which is very good for establishing the image of the US Government.
For Thor’s matter, Ling Xiao didn’t spend much energy paying attention to this matter, because he knew that Thor would not be able to return to Earth in a short time, Bifrost was in his The battle with Loki was severely damaged, and it will be at least a few months away until Bifrost is repaired.
After returning to Los Angeles, Ling Xiao did skin care for Melinda and her companions that day. For this woman named Victoria Hand, Ling Xiao still has a certain impression of her, and is aware After SHIELD was infiltrated by Hydra, Hand took a decisive and effective way to screen the team led by Coulson, but was killed at the last minute.
This is also a powerful spy leader, second only to Fury and Hill in SHIELD’s position, and even above Coulson.
Ling Xiao didn’t expect that oneself would have come into contact with this person so early, but he didn’t say anything that shouldn’t be said at all, but calmly gave them away after the pharmacy gave them skin care. left.
He didn’t even know that after Melinda went back, he was called by Nick Fury to have a meeting about him. Now he is busy counting the gains from this trip in Puente Antiguo, a small town in New Mexico. .
