Chapter 896 The Reality Is Always More Complicated than Expected
Nick Fury's operation at Minot Air Force Base was generally a success.
After ascertaining the opponent's situation, it still fell to violence in the end.
The winner is the king and the loser, and if you win the battle, you basically win.
But Nick's approach is more insidious.
In terms of fighting and fighting, whether it is a fake American team or a mass-produced Black Panther, they all beat him by more than a dozen blocks, but no matter how good they are, there will inevitably be physical contact in the fight.
And Nick's colonization equipment powered by the Cosmic Rubik's Cube is not something that ordinary combat power can break through. On the contrary, he can use physical contact to activate the displacement effect that the Cosmic Rubik's Cube is best at, and send the opponent to any place.
Nick chose the helium-3 mine on the back of the moon, which is the place where he visited with Tony, Pepper, Bruce, etc. not long ago.
It is conceivable what will happen to those who are sent there.
Once the backbone is finished, the rest will really fail. Coulson and Henry led the crowd into the arena to clean up the remaining evils. The Minot crisis is over.
Since the action was launched at the same time, it was already an afterthought when Nick Fury learned about the situation of Andrews and Whiteman. S.H.I.E.L.D. interacted well with the Black God Cult. Andrews handed over smoothly, and S.H.I.E.L.D. simply used the stealth aircraft captured by Kane to transport all the nuclear weapons away.
As for Whiteman, there is really no way, but from another perspective, the hydra did not fully achieve its goal.
The initial plan of the Hydra was to transform the nuclear weapon control system on the spot, and then form a nuclear deterrent to radiate the surrounding area.
It can be said that if these three places are all taken care of by them, then the most essential and fundamental eastern and central eastern parts of the Beacon Country will be under their deterrence, the kind that can be completely wiped out.
But now, Minot looked to be successful, but was spoiled by Nick Fury.
Andrews simply failed.
Whiteman couldn't afford to fight fiercely, so he could only be transported away.
After that, the hydra can only use air strikes to cover and deter.
Of course, it is still very powerful, enough to make the lighthouse country's national power back at least 100 years by destroying key cities, such as Detroit, Chicago, Pittsburgh, etc. But the ability to threaten the population is still much worse after all.
The Hydra didn't actually intend to use nuclear weapons.
One is that doing so is contrary to their set of liberating the people and overthrowing the powerful and capital.
Another one they don't need to do that. They are elite soldiers, armed with high technology. Although the lighthouse country is powerful, it can't use it. It can't win in some battlefields. If you want to fight head-on, you can't find the target. It can be said that as long as the hydra does not use the halo of wisdom to play the Armageddon mode , can definitely play the behemoth of the Bendengta Kingdom.
Therefore, nuclear weapons are not only an insurance, but more importantly, deterrence. When the deterrence is large enough, and the opponent has no cards to rely on, then most of them will kneel down. After all, a free-democracy thing like the Lighthouse Kingdom is selfish and justified to put it bluntly, and it is a typical difficult to adjust. It is normal to go with the wind and waves, and to collapse against the wind.
But now, the hydra doesn't have enough nuclear weapons, and the lighthouse country has been stripped of its pants before losing, so the will to resist still exists, which really makes the high-level officials of the hydra very angry.
With the help of DJ Jim, they sprayed the world with the "shameful" behavior of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers.
The hydra said that it is because of these loyal dogs of the powerful and capital that the powerful and capital can be lucky and continue to fight against the general trend. Therefore, SHIELD and the Avengers are guilty of human civilization!
Jim also sang a paragraph for this, first describing the despicable character of SHIELD and the Avengers, and then hating, emphasizing that it is these so-called superheroes who complicate simple things. Today's confrontation in New York and Los Angeles, as well as the war that is bound to expand in the future, these two organizations bear unshirkable responsibilities, economic losses, casualties must be counted as one of them!
Nick Fury and others naturally looked ugly when they saw this. The most important thing is the bad start. Whether it is SHIELD or the Avengers, there are twists and turns.
Even if the task is completed, it will be discounted.
Like Natasha and Hawkeye, they originally planned to reinforce S.H.I.E.L.D. and wipe out all the discovered members of the Hydra, but they turned out to be firefighters.
This led to the failure of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Operation Hercules.
Not to mention Minot Air Force Base, when Nick Fury rolled up his sleeves and solved the problem himself, Operation Hercules was also in full swing.
After all, there is nothing wrong with Nick Fury's "playing hard to get" game and fishing for big fish, and he has successfully dug out multiple strongholds of thugs.
The only bad thing is that he thought that the hydra was relying on these strengthened cannon fodder to succeed, but he didn't expect that they were playing an elite strategy, a bastard's trick. But after the confrontation outside the air force base, Nick Fury believes that even a bastard can cause a lot of damage to the regular army. Ordinary people lack sufficient vigilance and psychological preparation for these guys with high-tech means. It is easy to be cheated.
So the Hercules operation continued as usual, and the special forces of SHIELD broke into more than ten strongholds at the same time, and caught those guys by surprise.
Originally, the S.H.I.E.L.D. side should have ended perfectly, but the other party has high-end combat power, while their own high-end team was entangled in sudden bad things. In the end, under the cover of the other party's high-end combat power, the backbone basically escaped. Well, those who were killed and captured were basically young people.
Even so, the side of the hydra is quite hurt. The main usage of these thugs is not to guard the nuclear arsenal that has been occupied by their own side, but to mix in the crowd and act as troublemakers, such as shooting black guns at the opposite side during the confrontation ,etc.
The hydra is not interested in organizing a group of people's representatives to hold a forum with the ruler. They are well aware of the official's advantages. Once they are given time, the official will soon be able to use their control of various domestic industries and strong connections to regroup.
Therefore, even if it is a negotiation, it is necessary to bleed enough blood before the negotiation, instead of engaging in peaceful evolution like the state of Hawaii.
It's a pity that the thugs all over the Beacon Country were messed up by S.H.I.E.L.D., New York and Los Angeles were the places where the red vest movement was the most violent. The personnel arrangements were different from other cities, so they escaped. It was not destroyed by S.H.I.E.L.D., which is why the armed confrontation of the Hydra organization took place in New York and Los Angeles.
It was supposed to bloom everywhere, but it turned out that there were only two points. First of all, it seemed not big enough in terms of momentum. You must know that momentum is very important to fool the public. When the public sees that the general situation is over, they will kneel down, but if they feel uncertain, most of them will choose to continue to wait and see.
Therefore, although the hydra still seems to be doing well, it is much worse than what they expected. This is also a big reason why DJ Jim scolded SHIELD and the Avengers.
The hydra is unhappy, and Nick Fury and the others are also unhappy. Apart from the fact that the battle was not happy, there is another reason. Nick Fury also emphasized: "The other party actually knows about the Avengers and is prepared. This news is How did it leak? I am very curious!"
Yes, although Nick Fury had an idea for the Avengers Alliance plan, it didn’t take long for the plan to be implemented. Even the directors of the International Security Council only knew that Nick Fury was searching for strange people to deal with it. special enemies.
Nick Fury only reported to the directors that there was such a thing, and did not discuss the specific details at all. The people of S.H.I.E.L.D. are even more unclear. How did the Hydra know?
Tony Stark thought for a while and said, "It is very likely that, as Kane guessed, there were two space-time raids during the Monaco Grand Prix."
Others also echoed. After Kane raised his mouth with Nick, Nick turned over his hand and reminded everyone, so they all knew about Black Widow.
It's not that Nick Fury has a weak mouth. But if it is really Ebony Throat, there is a huge difference between being mentally prepared and not being mentally prepared to play against it. If you are unprepared, you are likely to be tricked by it accidentally. After being bewitched and charged, he turns to deceive his own people, and the scene is lively.
After all, the Avengers have access to the delivery equipment of the Avengers base and the authority to control the Tianma. A sudden rebellion is likely to cause huge losses to the organization and mankind.
In order to take precautions, Nick Fury also made a special trip to Antarctica to ask Gu Yi for help.
Gu Yi did help everyone by giving everyone a small magic pendant that is time-sensitive once it is activated.
This small pendant carries the power of the Eye of Agamotto, which can go back in time and get rid of the influence of confusion.
That is, this time, Nick Fury shyly asked if the ancient one mystic mage could intervene and wrestle with the hydra together. Gu Yi said no, and Gu Yi said that the mystic mages have the rules of the mystic mages. In a more chaotic situation than now, the mystic mages did not make an exception, but fulfilled their duties and guarded against foreign enemies. After all, there are some extraordinary beings who secretly covet the earth and know how to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the chaos. For example, Dormammu is very good at taking advantage of opportunities and even creating them.
In any case, the secret law society led by Gu Yi is neither stubborn and unreasonable, nor is it a righteous person who promises without saying a word.
The preparations made by the Avengers were originally to deal with the high-end game, but the high-end combat power of the hydra did not show up at all, and the situation was already so bad that it was frustrating.
Bruce Banner said cautiously, "Why don't you ask Kane for help?"
Tony Stark hugged his shoulders and snorted.
Romanov eased the atmosphere: "I'm afraid not, he's not on Earth."
Bruce Ban asked unwillingly: "What about Titan Hulk?"
Nick Fury interrupted: "The main problem right now is the lack of intelligence..."
Just as he was talking, new information was sent, and after Nick received it, he smiled and said, "The president asked for help from all countries, saying that if there is not enough assistance and the safety of nuclear weapons is not guaranteed, the huge debt may not be able to bear it."
Hawkeye gasped in amazement: "Is this how you got caught in the other party's dialect? Isn't this considered blackmail?"
Just as Nick was about to talk, suddenly a shrill siren sounded.
Everyone changed their faces. This siren sound was not the base being invaded, but Nick Fury specially asked Kane to design and create it for the concept of "vigilante police". The alarm will sound.
On the other hand, Nick Fury was obviously also frightened by the space-time raid in Monaco.
"Winnie, what happened?"
Zhinao said: "A nuclear bomb air explosion was detected, 2,400 meters from the surface, with an equivalent of about 1.5 million tons. The coordinates are 40.46 north latitude and 73.58 west longitude."
Tony Stark murmured when he heard the words: "Manhattan Island, New York, Central Park!"
Then there was a dead silence, playing with fire and self-immolation, and finally came to this step!
A few seconds later, Zhinao Wei Ni continued to report the conclusion of the instant calculation: "This explosion is mainly an EMP attack. The radius of the first strike is 17 kilometers, and the second radius is about 58 kilometers..."
Little Pepper interjected and asked, "What about the casualties?"
"Casualty assessment, minor."
It's a coincidence to say that in normal times, this time is just the beginning of nightlife, just in time for Faith, and there must be no shortage of people on the street.
But this time it was martial law and confrontation again, many people did not dare to stay in the urban area, even if they did, they hid at home early, that is, those who made troubles and fished in troubled waters were outside.
Moreover, an EMP attack, to put it bluntly, is an electromagnetic bomb. Its light radiation and shock waves are not the main means of killing, its power is relatively low, and it is a clean nuclear bomb. The nuclear radiation is not serious, but the air blast affects a wider range. Electronic equipment has been affected to varying degrees.
Bruce Banner originally studied gamma rays, and he knew this kind of situation clearly, he scratched his head and said: "It's not like it was released by a hydra, after all, their information suppression effect is very good, and now it has been completely disintegrated. "
Hawkeye said: "I guess it wasn't the president who did it, it was probably the guys from Wall Street."
Black Widow fits: "Stocks, futures, and bank data are destroyed, they can use this as an excuse to suspend all transactions, and then start their hands."
Bruce Banner's girlfriend, Betty Ross, couldn't help asking: "Can those people in finance control the nuclear bomb?"
"Individuals may not be able to, but consortiums should be able to."
Nick Fury raised his forehead, he really came here for whatever he was afraid of. At this time, the fire is adding to the chaos, and some people are really crazy for profit!
Before he could inquire about the specific situation of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secret service personnel in New York, the request for a video call from the International Security Council arrived first.
Nick Fury is now the uncrowned king, the acting director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and it is normal for the directors to find something important.
"What happened!?" One of the representatives asked with a slap in the face.
Thanks to the power of Winnie, the intelligent brain of the Avengers Base, Nick responded calmly and gave a rough analysis of Winnie.
"It can't go on like this anymore. Things have deteriorated to the verge of getting out of control. A global nuclear war may start at any time. What cards do you have? Now is the time to use them."
Nick Fury smiled bitterly, and then said: "I can only do my best."...
After finishing the conversation with the directors, Nick Fury turned his face and said to everyone: "There may also be traitors among the directors. Except for those present, everyone has to be careful."
Everyone nodded.
"Okay, we can't be led by the nose anymore, the tunnel digging on the Wakanda side is ready. I originally planned to let the S.H.I.E.L.D. , see if there is a chance to behead."
Natasha and the others nodded again. They knew about Nick's solo show at Minot Air Force Base in the morning, and the unlucky ones thrown into the helium-3 mining area on the back of the moon were later recovered. They all feel that Nick's special ability is still very strong when used well.
But Nick took a look at the special pager and said in his heart, "I don't know if I can catch up..."
