Chapter 1251: Second Update, Please Vote for Me!!! Finally Finished! Please Vote for Me!
On the other side, SHIELD was also given a death order.
"Batman must be recovered! He is the property of the US government!" Hill shouted across the phone. How much is Batman worth... It's hard to say. Just a corpse is actually worth that much. But there are many invisible wealth about Batman.
Apart from anything else, the artifact used by Batman in San Francisco at the beginning has incomparable value to SHIELD. Through Aquaman Arthur, SHIELD actually knows what the artifact is.
Poseidon's Trident.
Poseidon's artifact, in comparison, the artifact of the Kingdom of Atlantis, Neptune's Trident, is much worse. Neptune's Trident is a gift from Poseidon to his people, which is naturally different from what Poseidon uses himself.
Apart from anything else, the ability of Poseidon's Trident to control the ocean is enough to attract any country in the world.
Although getting Batman does not necessarily mean getting Poseidon's Trident, the chance is definitely much better than having nothing! But these people have never thought about why the Atlanteans are indifferent to the Poseidon Trident, since it is so powerful? Do they think that getting Poseidon's Trident is the same as Batman getting the Trident? Will the Atlanteans just sit back and watch?
And there are too many secrets about Batman, which is very tempting for SHIELD.
In short, after seeing Batman being beaten by the monster, Hill gave Phil the most severe order, asking them to recover Batman immediately.
Phil was not happy at the time... How many people would have to die to recover Batman under that situation?
But Hill's original words were "Even if you all die, as long as you bring back Batman, then everything is worth it!"
S.H.I.E.L.D. is also a disciplined force. If the superiors give orders, then the subordinates must obey, even if it is a life-threatening order. Although Phil was very unhappy, he did not dare to refute it. He had to give orders and let everyone prepare.
But unexpectedly, Batman was not only still alive, but even gave the monster a backhanded slap!
Seeing that Batman was still alive, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s enthusiasm immediately dropped.
There is no way, the world is so realistic. For S.H.I.E.L.D., a dead Batman is actually more valuable than a living Batman, because they dare not touch a living Batman!
Public opinion, public opinion, etc. can be put aside and not discussed for the time being.
But the emotions of the superheroes have to be considered.
Especially the emotions of Tony Stark and Kai Wayne have to be considered. The reasons have been mentioned a lot before, so I won't go into details here. In short, these two are not superheroes in the ordinary sense.
If these two people are really pissed off, do you believe that they will dare to manipulate public opinion and attack SHIELD directly?
Needless to say, this possibility is very high.
There are only two ways for SHIELD to deal with superheroes. One is to use public opinion to isolate superheroes and make them the opposite of most people, and then start to throw dirty water, take the blame, completely discredit them, and make them socially dead. The second is to suppress them by force.
These two methods will not work against these two people.
First of all, they have a wide network of connections. The money spent on lobbying by the two major consortiums every year is as high as hundreds of millions of dollars. How many congressmen and senior officials rely on the two major consortiums for their livelihood! There are also political donations. The two parties have to get massive donations from the two major consortiums every election year. These are real money!
Taking money to do things is a principle that applies to the whole world.
Especially in capitalism, if you take money but don’t do things, your reputation will be tarnished, and no one will give you money!
In addition, the Stark family and Kai’s personal connections in the upper echelons of the federal government... This is definitely not a force that can be underestimated.
Secondly, they have money!
SHIELD, you are awesome, you manipulate public opinion, can you manipulate public opinion better than capital?
At most, you can use the heads or senior executives of those media to make them cheer for SHIELD. But others know the bosses, and they directly talk to the capital behind the media with benefits. Who do the media listen to?
So the above two methods are useless to these two.
What's more terrifying is that these two can turn around at any time and use these two methods to deal with SHIELD... This is very annoying.
So when seeing Batman come alive, SHIELD's passion suddenly fell.
Hill said directly that they could relax a little, and there would be no problem if Batman was left to do things.
Phil was speechless. Are the current leaders so... realistic?
I wanted to say it was cold-blooded, but after thinking about it, I felt that I couldn't be so unreasonable to the leaders.
Then a group of people procrastinated, and the situation turned again.
Batman looks like he's in trouble again...
Then Hill's words changed to: "Even if you all die, as long as you bring Batman back, everything will be worth it!"
Phil was simply speechless.
So the group of people could only change from procrastinating to rushing.
"Leave it to me!
!"
Finally caught up.
Phil led his men to surround the SHIELD Bureau.
The weather witch didn't pay any attention to any of the people Phil brought, but asked Shiliang: "Take us away."
Shiliang nodded, then shook his head.
"We'll have to wait a little longer."
The weather witch looked at Shiliang.
"Skill CD." Shiliang said as a matter of course. "Bringing him to the headquarters at once will consume a lot of energy. I'm just a child."
Weather Witch: "Tsk... So, we still have to face these idiots?"
"How about killing them? They are just old ghosts, so let them die. No one should care. Anyway, they look aggressive, so we just say that we thought they were accomplices of the parasite. If we are not careful... Capitalism, it should be no problem to pay some money. I heard that their lives have a price."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" The weather witch scolded righteously: "Our funds are also tight! The higher-ups will never approve us for such a thing!"
"That..." Phil said with embarrassment: "I understand Chinese."
Fuck!
Is this how you conspire? Discuss killing people in front of me to silence them?
Shiliang and the weather witch turned their heads and looked at Phil silently.
The atmosphere was quite awkward.
Then the weather witch turned her head and hit Shiliang's head directly!
"I told you not to make such a joke! This is an international friend. If we scare him, he might even ask us for compensation for mental damage!"
Shiliang crouched with his head in his hands, looking aggrieved: "No way, look at his hair, he's old, he won't be so easily scared, right?"
Phil felt that this was far more insulting than before!
He touched his wise head shape and said seriously: "Batman is Chinese, so thank you for everything you have done for him. We will tell the State Council, and they will send you a letter to express their gratitude."
Shiliang stood up all of a sudden: "You said Batman is from your country, right? I said he is Chinese!"
Phil's face suddenly became serious: "Please don't say such words that will cause misunderstandings between the two sides."
"Have you seen Batman?" Shiliang didn't care about this and continued to ask.
"Please don't make trouble!"
Now that the Avengers are here, Phil still has the confidence. Even if they fight, they are in the right. Moreover, if they can, they are also willing to fight, especially when the other side has only two people, they are obviously in the upper hand!
Shiliang was about to say something else, but the next second the weather witch held her head.
"Yeah, that makes sense." The weather witch said so.
Eh?
Not only Shiliang was stunned, but even Phil was stunned. So easy to talk to?
This... What happened to the SHIELD?
Are they scared?
This shouldn't be the case!
SHIELD has always had a huge psychological advantage over SHIELD. There is no way. When SHIELD was still struggling to deal with superpowers everywhere, SHIELD began to absorb and accept superpowers thousands of years ago.
The gap is obvious.
So SHIELD has always been at a disadvantage against SHIELD. That is to say, SHIELD does not expand externally, otherwise...
Shiliang was stunned and immediately unhappy.
How could he be scared against the ghost?
If you are great, just start fighting, who is afraid of who?
But the next second Shiliang was stunned and nodded.
Phil felt even more strange.
He subconsciously looked back and found that someone was standing next to Batman at some point.
And the people around him were totally unaware!
"Stop it!
" Phil drew his gun and pointed it at the man.
The people around SHIELD woke up from their dreams and raised their weapons to point at the man.
"Hey, Sasibulli!" This person was naturally Hannibal: "Long time no see, Mr. Coulson."
Hannibal had dealt with Phil before, and more than once.
So Phil knew very well how difficult this man was.
"Hannibal... Sir." When facing a polite and dangerous person, if possible, you should also try to be polite. "What do you want to do?"
"Well, as you can see." Hannibal did not intend to hide anything. "Batman has a problem, I want to take him away."
Phil: "No, we will take good care of him!"
If Batman hadn't had a problem, they wouldn't have been so active.
Although Phil felt very ashamed, Batman finally lost his ability to resist. If he missed this opportunity... Anyway, the interests of SHIELD should be given priority.
"No. After all, it was Kai who asked me to do it. No matter what, I can't just sit there and watch."
Hannibal looked distressed.
"Or...are you going to stop me?"
"I'll talk to Kai Wayne! And...he's a policeman, you're a wanted criminal!"
Phil could only argue.
"Don't answer irrelevant questions, Mr. Coulson, are you...going to stop me?" Hannibal was still polite. But the hideous and terrifying body of the Hound of Tindalos looming behind him didn't look so easy to talk to.
Phil froze for a moment.
At this moment, Hill, who was far away in Washington, suddenly received a call.
When Hill heard the secretary's message, she immediately knew that she was in trouble. She knew that SHIELD's plan was in vain, and she didn't want to answer the call, but the problem was that some things were really not what she wanted.
"I'm Kai Wayne. What are you going to do?"
Of course Hill knew what Kai was calling for at this moment.
"Director Wayne, we are just trying to prevent Mr. Batman from getting into trouble. Believe me, we have no ill intentions."
"I appreciate your kindness on behalf of Batman." Kai's words were not as polite as Hannibal's: "Tell your people to get out of here. Hannibal will take care of it."
"I want to remind you, Director Wayne. Hannibal is a dangerous wanted criminal!"
"And then?"
Kai asked silently.
"You are a police officer, employed by the federal government..."
"Correction, I am employed by the New York government!" Kai interrupted directly: "Also, what are you going to say?"
Hill took a deep breath: "Kay Wayne, SHIELD and you are not enemies."
"maybe."
Hill took a deep breath again: "You should understand that we are on the same side. Whether it is Batman or Hannibal, they are not under control! We just want to minimize the threat."
"Get your people out! I'd rather trust these uncontrolled people than you. This is a warning."
"Are you threatening me? As a government employee, threatening another government department?" Hill also stepped forward.
"No, I'm just stating a fact. Hannibal's temper is not as good as you think. Once he decides to take action...are you prepared for losses? In addition, don't think about passing the responsibility to them. I'm here , you can’t confuse right and wrong, anyway, there really shouldn’t be too many people in the federation who are unhappy with you, believe me, they will support me.”
"You..." Hill was at a loss for words.
"Okay, I've said what I need to say... Also, don't imitate Nick Fury's one-eyed dragon! There is no future."
After speaking, Kai hung up the phone directly.
Hill gritted his teeth and hung up the phone after a while.
Let's go back to the ruins of Tokyo.
Phil is also going through a test, and he must make a choice. Should he obey orders and fight with Hannibal, or should he just go along with the situation?
Then his intercom rang.
Phil looked at Hannibal, confused and panicked.
"Take that," Hannibal said.
Phil looked at Hannibal, who was still standing there calmly with more than a dozen guns pointed at him, and had a bad feeling in his heart.
He answered the phone.
"It's me, let him go." Hill's voice was slightly low, sounding a little frustrated and a little angry.
"Yes!" Phil actually breathed a sigh of relief, although it was a bit embarrassing. But at least you don’t need to go through the test of your own conscience. Even though he was prepared to throw away his conscience when he embarked on the path of being an agent. In this line of work, sometimes you can't do this, but it's still worth being happy to be able to maintain the bottom line of being a human being.
Phil waved his hand and told all his men to put away their weapons.
Hannibal nodded at Phil: "That's right."
After saying that, Hannibal directly shouldered Batman.
Then Shi Shiran walked out.
