Chapter 1024: Mysterious Base (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket! Please Subscribe! Please Recommend!!)

How Natasha contacted Steve is actually not important. After all, with Natasha's ability, it is not difficult to do this.

After Natasha and Steve contacted each other, Steve immediately contacted Carter, and the Shadow Bureau secretly transferred Natasha to a secret base in New York.

Because of Natasha's rebellion, Ms. Carter did not believe her right away, but imprisoned her. Then she immediately began to track the dynamics of SHIELD! It turned out that SHIELD was calm and peaceful.

At this time, Ms. Carter was a little convinced that Natasha's rebellion was not directed and acted by SHIELD. Don't underestimate the bottom line of those intelligence agencies. Even for brother units in the same camp, they will not be brothers and sisters. The most obvious is the dispute between the CIA and the FBI for many years.

And the Shadow Bureau is destined to be impossible to be friends with SHIELD, especially after SHIELD was infiltrated by Hydra!

According to this relationship, it is not impossible for SHIELD to make a self-torture plan.

But if that were the case, SHIELD would never be so calm. Even if they pretended to be calm, they would make some noise. But now it's calm...it can explain something. Of course, Carter still won't trust Natasha completely. This is the quality of a qualified intelligence officer.

Doubt everything! This is what Carter taught Nick Fury.

Soon after the necessary preliminary intelligence collection, Carter brought Steve to Natasha. They need to ask why Natasha suddenly betrayed.

"Insight Project?"

Carter looked at Natasha in confusion.

Unexpectedly, Natasha looked at Carter even more puzzled: "You don't know?"

According to the information, Zola was diagnosed with terminal illness in 1972. Since then, Zora planned SHIELD's "Insight Project", also known as Operation Paperclip, as a way to identify and determine potential threats to the interests of the world. This is the underlying logical algorithm of the Insight Project. It is also the starting point of everything.

And all this was carried out during Ms. Carter's tenure!

After Natasha said this, Ms. Carter's face was extremely ugly!

She...really didn't know!

As the director of SHIELD at the time, she and Howard Stark, who was still alive at the time, actually knew nothing about such an important invention! What does this mean?

This means that the infiltration had already begun at that time! And when they were still smug about their defeat of Hydra, Hydra had already been reborn through the shell of SHIELD! So, they are the real accomplices!

Steve also looked at his girlfriend in surprise.

He never expected it to unfold like this.

"It's the Paperclip Project..." Combining all the intelligence, it is not difficult for Carter to find out which link has gone wrong.

Steve has also heard of this plan. According to the confidential disclosure of the United States, before the end of World War II, the United States absorbed a plan of German rocket technology experts. At that time, the United States transferred a large number of German rocket technology experts and high-level researchers to the United States by competing for German technical experts.

The most notable of these scientists is Werner von Braun. The planner of the V2 missile. At the same time, he was also a senior member of the SS. His original information file described him as "a security risk." The US Planning Agency received Wernher von Braun and more than 700 other scientists who had escaped from Germany under the noses of the United States' allies. He later became the father of the Saturn V rocket.

Also, Arthur L. Rudolph, a Nazi scientist who once managed an arsenal. Relying on his expertise in rocket manufacturing, he was brought to the United States in Operation Paperclip in 1945 to recruit scientists who had served Nazi Germany. Rudolph was later awarded a medal by NASA.

According to the regulations at the time, direct dealings with war criminals were prohibited. The US military intelligence department found that almost all the Nazi scientists and engineers and other technicians who needed to be brought back to the United States had connections with the Communist Party and were even suspected of committing war crimes. For its own strategic interests, the US military decided to bypass those rules and act secretly.

President Truman was convinced that German scientists would be able to assist the United States in its post-war plans, and agreed to approve the Operation Paperclip plan in September 1946. This plan commissioned carefully selected German scientists to work for the United States during World War II. As the results of the war expanded, the number of technical intelligence personnel sent by the US military to Germany for collection activities increased from 100 to more than 700. More than 700 people were divided into several small teams, and the small teams were divided into several intelligence groups, responsible for the collection of advanced weapons and equipment such as fighters, missiles and rockets and their personnel.

Even the government is like this, and SHIELD will only go too far when it has great autonomy.

A large number of Hydra internal scientists were absorbed by SHIELD in this way.

And the information of these scientists did not appear in any official information!

This was a joint decision made by the top management of SHIELD at that time...

But now it seems that from that time on, Hydra began to spread within SHIELD.

"Alexander..." Carter also quickly thought of the node of all this.

Alexander, a group of scientists, even Hydra scientists, want to develop their power secretly under the heavy surveillance of SHIELD, which is simply a pipe dream, unless someone helps them and covers up everything they do.

At that time, Alexander had been promoted to the top of S.H.I.E.L.D., which happened to be. The Paperclip Project was supervised by Alexander at the time!

This is like throwing the mouse into the rice vat!

They personally created what S.H.I.E.L.D. is today.

When Natasha heard Carter whisper Alexander's name, she immediately felt something unusual, but she really didn't think about it that way.

"You go on."

"The so-called "insight plan" is to analyze each person's experience and data to predict whether he will pose a threat to the stable order in the future; if there is a threat, use the space carrier to eliminate it before the threat occurs. To elaborate, it is Through a person's past behavior, including words said, books read, music listened to, movies watched, clubs participated in, Weibo posted, liked, forwarded, and sent Emails, every phone call, every day's text messages, activity circles, professional attributes, educational experience, medical conditions, blood type, constellation, etc. are used to predict this person's future. If the prediction results are not what the designer expected, then these people will It will be "cleaned" to ensure that the designer's will is implemented; before every behavior that is detrimental to the designer occurs, the perpetrator will be eliminated. "

Steve and Carter immediately gasped when they heard this.

"There are currently three aerospace carriers undergoing final assembly in the factory underground at SHIELD headquarters, and these aerospace carriers are an important part of the Insight Plan!"

What exactly does SHIELD want to do with the "Insight Project" supporting the Space Carrier?

After the Space Carrier made no achievements in the last war, S.H.I.E.L.D. carried out all-round modifications to it, especially Tony who also participated in this plan at that time. He not only improved the power system and flight system of the Space Carrier, Some Chitauri technology was also loaded onto the space carrier, which turned this big toy in Kai's eyes into a destructive weapon. Without anyone knowing, S.H.I.E.L.D. Three ships were built!

What do they want to do? Is it to completely destroy the Special Administrative Region? Or should we let the big cities on the East Coast like Philadelphia, New York, and Boston be buried together?

As for actually fighting criminals and terrorists... Carter and Steve don't believe it anyway. It was Hydra after all! It is impossible to deal with aliens and protect world peace.

What they don't know is that there are many people within Hydra who are very opposed to this plan!

These people have been regarded as cannon fodder by Alexander!

They plan to sacrifice these people!

"Is that why you rebelled?" Carter signaled Steve to calm down, and she continued to ask Natasha.

"Isn't this enough? They are putting the whole world under their control, and everything is decided by them! How can there be equality and freedom here? Everyone needs to live under S.H.I.E.L.D. Under control, they cannot speak casually or express dissatisfaction! Need to die for something they didn't do! Just because SHIELD thinks they are guilty! Why should I help them if SHIELD intends to protect it? I escaped from there, but I didn’t expect to enter another hell.”

Natasha's words made Carter mentally nod.

That makes sense.

Agents of Natasha's level will no longer rebel for money or status, because with their abilities, they can get almost everything they want easily. The only thing that allows them to truly concentrate on their work is the pursuit deep in their hearts.

Steve finally couldn't help it anymore: "We must stop SHIELD! We can't let the Insight Project unfold! Otherwise..."

"No!" Carter flatly refused!

"Why?!!"

"Because this treats the symptoms but not the root cause! Our goal should be to gain insight into the underlying algorithm of the plan!"

Carter is very calm. Even if they gather an army to attack SHIELD at this time, it will be useless! As long as the foundation of the Insight Plan exists, Hydra can carry out the second Insight Plan and the third Insight Plan. Hydra has penetrated and developed within SHIELD for so many years. Who knows how powerful they are.

As the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., she knows the organization she founded very well.

S.H.I.E.L.D. is too big.

Who knows how much blood Hydra has sucked from SHIELD over the years?

The best way is to get the underlying algorithm and directly destroy the foundation of the Insight Plan!

Only in this way can Hydra's delusion be completely destroyed!

At this moment, Natasha suddenly said: "Maybe I know something."

Carter and Steve looked over immediately.

"When I was peeking at the information, I found a marked location. But all the information about that location was deleted."

Natasha didn't say anything else, and Carter judged that there was something wrong with this place.

After all, the sudden appearance of such an address in such confidential information symbolizes a problem.

"where?"

“Camp Witton Lehigh, New Jersey!”

…

Camp Witton Lehigh in New Jersey is very close to the Special Administrative Region, only a little over 200 kilometers away.

Carter acted quickly, and she immediately sent Natasha and Steve to lead an elite team there. Even though they don't know what's hidden there, Carter believes there must be important clues.

Long before they set off, the Shadow Bureau also learned the details of this base through some secret channels.

This underground base belongs to SHIELD, but it has been abandoned for more than 20 years in the archives. What's more interesting is that this base has never been used for other purposes since it was abandoned... SHIELD and the United States are indeed rich, but they are not enough to completely abandon a base with complete facilities. From the preliminary inspection just now, it is true that no one has come here for many years, and even basic guards have not been set up, but Natasha and the others got clues related to this place.

What's more bizarre is that the underground base is obviously abandoned, but the power supply and ventilation systems of the base are completely normal, and not only that, the power consumption is not small. Although this power supply line is connected to a nearby farm, a slightly experienced policeman can see that something is wrong. Does a farm need such a large power demand?

Many American police catch suspects who grow weeds indoors, and they often check the electricity meter first. Modern life and work are inseparable from electricity. Once the work you are engaged in consumes a lot of electricity, it is easy to arouse suspicion.

This kind of concealment is not to mention hiding it from the Shadow Bureau.

In an empty base, it has been powered on and running at high speed, and the power consumption is extremely terrifying.

It would be strange if there is no problem.

Before entering the base, everyone conducted a very detailed investigation around the base and found that there was really no one here!

With this understanding, Natasha and Steve quickly found the entrance to the base. It was hidden very well, and ordinary people really couldn't find it.

After clearing the weeds and bushes at the entrance, everyone worked together to push open the camouflage door. There was a very old elevator inside, but it was still powered.

Steve and Natasha took the lead as pioneers and went down first. If there was no problem, the backup personnel could go down. The elevator was password-controlled, which of course did not bother Natasha. This old password lock had been eliminated many years ago. Natasha directly disassembled the shell, took out the line from it, and fiddled with it for a while, and soon the elevator started.

The elevator ran for about three minutes.

According to the speed of the elevator, Natasha and Steve quickly deduced that the main body of the base was at least 70 meters underground!

With the technology of more than 20 years ago, the cost of building such a base without alarming anyone was absolutely astronomical, but such a base was not abandoned! ,

If there is no trick, even an idiot would not believe it!

Soon the two entered the base. The base was very large, but it was already covered with a thick layer of dust!

It seemed that no one had been here for a long time.
