Chapter 1034: First Update, Please Vote for Me!!!
Now SHIELD needs someone to step up and take charge. Google search reading
But there are very few people with this qualification.
S.H.I.E.L.D. has always been like this, it is a center and does not engage in any other things, because those who are agents know best that doing other things will only slow down efficiency. Therefore, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. has always had great power and can even designate a successor.
This is how Alexander and Nick Fury rose to the top. It is also the reason why the Security Council has not been able to control SHIELD for so many years, because SHIELD has its own effective power system within it!
Nick Fury was supposed to be the director like Alexander for at least ten or twenty years, and then hand over the position to the next person.
But now that Nick Fury is dead, no one knows who the next director will be...
This caused almost all the senior officials who were qualified to take over as director to start to feel uneasy. After all, the emperor did not designate a prince, so all princes would have a chance!
But this confusion quickly disappeared after a person appeared!
Alexander Pierce.
When Alexander appeared in the special passage in the hall, almost everyone looked at him immediately!
Alexander is not a stranger to S.H.I.E.L.D., after all, it has only been a few years since he left the position of director, not to mention that he has been in the agency for a long time, so almost everyone knows him. ̢̜̳̱͈̹͓͛͜ḩ̷̻̩͍̱̗͔̺̏̓͊̀͂̀ͅủ̵̓ ̰̙̻͉̦͙̗̥̓͊̑̂̑x̸͍̘̳͂͊̂̊̀͊̕͘.̷̹̆̆ ̦c̶͙͈͚̽̄̈̎̒͜ó̶̧̧̝̳̠͇͕̺̲̹̺̲̹̔̈́́̔̈́ə̂̌̋̋̌Generally speaking, his appearance in S.H.I.E.L.D. didn’t make that much of a splash.
But today is different.
When Alexander walked out of the building, almost everyone stood at attention and greeted him politely. Pierce nodded politely as usual.
In this regard, he is better than Nick Fury.
Because he has been in office for so many years, everyone thinks highly of him. Unlike Nick Fury, a typical dictator who never smiles all year round.
More importantly, Alexander has the prestige, power, and strength to choose who will succeed the director! At the same time, he is also the best person to comfort people! His appearance instantly stabilized the impetuous S.H.I.E.L.D. No matter how many little thoughts it had, it would choose to lie dormant at this time.
'Alexander' enjoyed such scenes extremely. Once upon a time, he had always dreamed of being able to reach the top of SHIELD and gain the admiration and awe of everyone. It's a pity that that bastard Alexander Pierce didn't choose Hydra to succeed him, but chose Nick Fury!
This makes the current ‘Alexander’ very unhappy.
In fact, not only him, but many of his 'friends' expressed incomprehension about Alexander's original choice.
After all... Although Nick Fury has done a good job, how can he be used by his own people?
Of course, none of that matters now.
From the moment they decided to pretend to be Alexander, Alexander was effectively abandoned.
Alexander is now available in Washington!
The fake guy imitated Alexander's gesture and accepted everyone's respectful baptism.
The inner vanity has been satisfied like never before.
He saw the complicated expressions in those people's eyes, but he was too lazy to think about it now. The success or failure of the Insight Plan has nothing to do with these little miscellaneous fish. The remaining four directors of the World Security Council who are about to arrive are the focus. If they detect anomalies, it may have an unknown impact on the insight plan.
That's why they need to pretend to be Alexander.
Only these guys can be controlled. In this way, even if the five directors have a temporary vote and can urgently take over all affairs of SHIELD, it will be useless. Only "Alexander Pierce" is left to give orders, and in a short period of time they can control everything in SHIELD.
Anyway, except for these four directors, if anyone else wants to interfere with SHIELD's operations, complicated procedures are required. That would require at least a few hours of wrangling, or even more than ten hours. Silently thinking about it, he finally waited for a group of people walking in the passage and stepped forward to greet them with a smile.
The visitors, three men and one woman, were the other four directors of the World Security Council. The two sides came together and just exchanged a few simple greetings.
'Alexander' asked the security guard next to him to bring four silver brooches: "Biometric identification is used here. The four of you must wear this before you can move around freely."
The four directors didn't pay much attention, and each took one and held it against their chests. These four brooches are the highest-level temporary passes and can be used in and out of all places in the headquarters under normal circumstances. In the headquarters of various countries, tens of thousands of people come in and out every day. It is impossible for people to test one by one. All areas can only be monitored 24 hours a day through biological testing. For people who come temporarily to do business, it is too troublesome to register for biometrics, so there are various temporary passes. Anyone who does not have permission or a temporary pass will trigger an alarm if discovered by any surveillance system.
Of course, the four directors are not actually subject to this restriction.
‘Alexander’ had his own reasons for giving them these things!
What followed was a top-secret meeting, and the entourage of the four directors stayed in the lobby rest area. The five Alexanders got into the elevator and went straight to the dedicated floor of the World Security Council—Pierce's personal office area.
Entering Alexander's office, there is a spacious living room with a desk and four virtual projection seats opposite.
Usually, the four directors communicate with the director of SHIELD through the projection seats. Even if there are things that need to be explained in person, it is the minister Alexander who communicates with the director of SHIELD. Today is also a rare time for them to come in person.
Because just yesterday, they agreed to the adaptability test of the Insight Plan and came to inspect it. Then decide whether to start the plan.
Just as Pierce was talking to the four directors, a corner of the underground parking lot of SHIELD suddenly floated out of a cloud of black smoke.
Then Kai, Steve, Natasha and Tony Stark walked out of it.
The others were arranged in Washington to cooperate with the Secret Service and the military special forces to protect the city.
How many people in Washington are trustworthy now is still unknown.
Especially the police, they are no longer trustworthy!
They can't forget Nick Fury's fake death and escape, no matter why the police attacked Nick Fury!
They are not trustworthy!
It is obviously unlikely to mobilize the army now, and it takes time for the army to enter!
And who can be sure that Nick Fury didn't plant spies in the military?
The White House is already suspicious.
The only people they can rely on now are superheroes.
In the past, the government would never make such a decision. But it has happened so many times, and both the government and the public have gotten used to it. At first, everyone would criticize the government for not doing anything. Wasn't the government criticized badly in the previous crises? But who would criticize the government now? On the contrary, as long as the government responds properly, it will immediately receive rave reviews!
Everyone's expectations have been lowered, so naturally they won't be as harsh as before.
