Chapter 877: Bright Stars (Twenty-Two)

After hanging up the phone, Peter was still in a state of shock and dizziness, but at this time, Natasha came in, threw the key chain on the table, and said: "Peter Parker, the car to pick you up is already outside the door. To avoid suspicion, I can't go. Take your yellow mouse friend and take office immediately."

"No, wait a minute, this is too sudden, why can I... I can't... How can I be the director of SHIELD?! What are you kidding?" Peter kept backing away, he said: "This is ridiculous, how could they let me be the director of SHIELD?"

Natasha crossed her arms, smiled and looked at him and said: "Is there a possibility that you are the only one left?"

"Only me? You mean, did everyone else sacrifice?"

"No, think about it carefully, are other people really more suitable than you?"

As Peter thought, the reality that was no different from the scene in his mind happened two days ago.

Nick Fury is dead. At least after multiple confirmations, he is not faking his death. The genetic tests of multiple samplings are completely matched. The autopsy results prove that he is the real Nick Fury, and he is really dead.

However, his death does not mean that the storm has subsided. Instead, it means that a bigger storm is coming.

First of all, who killed him?

Everyone thinks it was the military, and even the military thinks it was them. They all think that it must be the people of the Tartu faction, and everyone in the Tartu faction thinks that it was their colleagues who did it.

While they complained about this young man's recklessness, they also thanked him for his recklessness. Without S.H.I.E.L.D., there is one less power to check and balance the military.

Congress is also aware of this. They cannot sit back and watch this situation continue to develop. The Tartu faction has always been radical. They strongly disagree with the system of separation of powers and are ready to start a war at any time to improve their status, and Congress will not let them succeed.

Once the war starts, the entire political system will inevitably usher in a major reshuffle. No one wants to be washed out, so the goal of Congress is to maintain stability.

In this case, the position of the director of SHIELD becomes the key.

Congress hopes that Nick Fury's direct descendants will inherit this position to continue to check and balance the military. They are indeed capable of supporting such people to take office, but the only problem is that Nick Fury's direct descendants cannot take office.

Coulson died, Hill disappeared with the intelligence, and as for Natasha, she is called Natasha, who dares to let her be the director of SHIELD?

Ward and Mark, who emerged in the later period, one of them is a cold-blooded killer, a typical sniper rifle, basically no leadership ability, and his position in SHIELD is not too high. If he is promoted suddenly, it will be too abrupt.

Mark is not bad, he is an old agent, powerful, sophisticated, and has a good resume, but the only problem is that he is a former CIA Agent, the consequences of letting the CIA take over SHIELD and letting the military take over SHIELD are the same.

There are still a few mutants left, but the key to the problem lies in mutants. Congress cannot immediately promote a mutant to a position after such an incident. This is not putting out the fire, but blowing the wind.

After searching for a while, Congress set its sights on these people in the Avengers.

In their view, these superheroes basically will not really lead SHIELD, but as long as they have a title, it is enough. As long as they can maintain short-term stability, they have enough time to select a suitable successor.

But not everyone in the Avengers is suitable. First of all, Captain America, Steve is very suitable, People in Congress also know him. Although he will not be biased towards Congress, at least he will not be biased towards the military. He can be impartial and fair.

At the same time, he is also very capable, especially in propaganda, which is very suitable for S.H.I.E.L.D. at this stage.

The only problem is that he himself is extremely unwilling.

Steve claimed that as long as the truth about Nick Fury's sacrifice is not found out, he will never take over S.H.I.E.L.D., and he also said that as long as he takes over S.H.I.E.L.D., he will definitely find out all the truth.

Nick has been passing things from one hand to the other for so many years, and not everyone is unaware of it. Even if they don't know that the situation is so serious, they can hear some rumors.

If Captain America is allowed to take over, he is fair and has great prestige, and many people will I grew up listening to his legend, so I can't guarantee that I won't be influenced by his words and deeds, and I can't do intelligence work.

Not to mention Stark, he is already the head of Stark Group and the solar system development plan. If there is another SHIELD, it will be a real monopoly of power, which is not in line with the idea of ​​checks and balances in Congress.

Blade Hunter Eric is a vampire, Matt is blind, and the rest of the members are either mutants or related to those sticky symbiotes, and basically they can't be used.

At this time, a person appeared in their field of vision, that is Spider-Man.

If Congress wants to investigate, the fact that Spider-Man is Peter Parker cannot be concealed at all. Once they investigate, they will find that this kid has a good background and ability.

Both his parents died when he was young, and he grew up in the home of his uncle and aunt. He was from an ordinary American working-class family and a native of New York. After entering high school, he had good grades and was admitted to New York University.

He did not have any bad records during his school years. Although he did not actively participate in club activities, he achieved quite good results in scientific research and was a relatively valuable knowledge-based talent.

At the same time, Spider-Man is also a relatively positive hero image, very popular among young people, and unlike Captain America, he does not have such a big influence on public opinion.

Overall, Spider-Man's image is well-received, but not all-round. He is capable, but not omnipotent. He was born in an ordinary family, but ordinary is the best advantage. In this case, he is a very suitable candidate.

Yes, in the eyes of Congress, this kind of young man can't figure out the complicated relationships and huge intelligence work of S.H.I.E.L.D., but this is exactly what they want. Spider-Man is just a transition, the purpose is to prevent the military from taking control. Only if he can persist for a period of time, someone else will naturally take over in the future.

More importantly, arranging Spider-Man as the director will not cause a strong backlash from the military.

Because the military also knew that such a guy with no resume and no intelligence work could not unify SHIELD, which meant that the treasure was still piled there and was only kept temporarily. When it could not be delayed any longer, everyone would have to rely on their own abilities.

Peter, who was regarded as a stopgap measure, was still confused until he got on the car. He didn't understand how he became the director of SHIELD. He hadn't even graduated from college.

Pikachu, who was held in his arms, shrugged his nose and said, "I smell a conspiracy. Tell me, when you go there, will you face a hundred or eighty black gun muzzles? Or all kinds of traps?"

Peter stroked Pikachu's ears absentmindedly. He said, "I'm not afraid of gun muzzles or traps. I have spider sense and can avoid them. What I'm afraid of is..."

Peter took a deep breath and said, "I didn't join clubs in college because I'm not good at reading people's expressions. I don't understand their messy hints, and I don't want to think about it..."

"If college clubs are like this, then S.H.I.E.L.D., the world's largest intelligence agency... Oh my God, I feel like I'm about to go to another universe, where people think and speak in completely different ways from me..."

With such a nervous mood, Peter still came to the S.H.I.E.L.D. base.

He thought he would encounter all kinds of cold faces and a myriad of troubles, but he didn't expect that when he just came out of the elevator, two rows of special agents stood in neat rows, and the receptionist said with a smile: "Director, please come this way."

Peter widened his eyes, repeatedly confirmed that the spider sense was not moving, and then took the first step hesitantly.

The receptionist was a female agent. Peter just came to an office behind her. The receptionist stood at the door and said to him with a smile: "This is your office. You can go in and wait for a while. Later, this week's work report will be delivered..."

Peter nodded a little confused, walked in, and sat on the chair. He paused for a moment, then said: "Okay, since the situation is like this, we can only work hard..."

After that, he showed a headache and said: "I hope these documents will not be more difficult to understand than the thesis materials..."

He took a stack of documents from the left hand side and opened it. There was a long list of names and various strange places on it. Peter immediately covered his forehead and said: "What should I do? Do they match? But how do I know who should go where? "

"Hello, this week's work report has been delivered." Another agent came in and handed a thin stack of documents to Peter. Peter opened it and saw only a few words written on it:

"This week's work was completed smoothly, all personnel were in place, and all work was carried out smoothly without any unexpected situations."

Peter raised his eyebrows and said, "This is the work report. Isn't it a bit too simple?"

"Yes, Director, this is not difficult. You will be able to get started soon." The agent smiled and said, "Next, all you have to do is wait here, and then sign each document."

"But how do I judge whether the document should be signed?" Peter asked.

"This is the job of the deputy director. The documents sent to you must be signed." The agent said very seriously.

"Then those enemies lurking here, I mean, Hydra and the like, should we arrest them? Also, Hill and the others were being hunted before..."

Hearing the word Hydra, the agent's smile trembled, but soon he said:

"If you want to arrest Hydra, we will launch a special operation, and you just need to sign the document..."

Peter looked embarrassed, but he didn't know what else he could do. After all, even if he had a high IQ, intelligence work was complicated and could not be sorted out in a short time.

So, in the next two weeks, Peter's job was to sign his name on every document and then receive a very brief weekly report on everything going well.

Spider-Man stood in the center of the vortex, watching the people around him coming and going, working diligently. He seemed to be involved, but he didn't seem to be involved.

Peter sat in the cab, repeatedly pressing a button, and the huge machine started to run. He didn't know whether the machine was running smoothly, nor did he know whether the smooth operation had anything to do with him.

At the same time, two voices full of doubts and shock came from the Congressional Hall and the military meeting room at the same time:

"S.H.I.E.L.D.! How come it's so efficient all of a sudden??!!!"
