Someone is running everything.

"Notify immediately..." Benjamin immediately reflexively wanted to give the order. But the next second, suddenly the lights in the entire underground fortress began to flicker, and all electronic equipment automatically shut down.

"Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything." Benjamin put down his hand. His face was full of helplessness, but not the least bit surprised, as if he had expected this kind of thing.

Benjamin stood up and shouted to a group of panicked people: "Calm down, everyone!"

The president's majesty temporarily silenced the people present.

Then Benjamin turned to look at the staff of the underground fortress: "Find out what happened and bring me some good news, okay?"

The staff did not expect that the president would be so fearless in the face of danger. He nodded stupidly and then began to send people to check the equipment.

Above the White House, a group of people had already invaded the White House. Their firepower is very strong, and they are not afraid of death at all. The Secret Service was set up to protect the president and important officials. It is positioned as a bodyguard, not a combat unit, so the weapons they are equipped with are all light and compact, and there are very few heavy weapons. That is to say, the last time the White House was attacked, the Secret Service had just upgraded its equipment, but it was still unable to compare with these well-prepared gangsters.

They even used energy weapons!

Due to the shortage of weapons, the secret service personnel were quickly eliminated. In addition, the Secret Service headquarters building was completely blown up by swarming drones, and the small building has now collapsed.

These people were as familiar with the layout of the White House and various institutions as if they had been living inside the White House. Soon they came to the main control department of the White House facilities and directly used a device to paralyze all the power systems of the White House.

Next, a group of people used a laser hole machine to open a hole above the underground fortress, and then used electromagnetic weapons to completely destroy the White House's information exchange system with the outside world!

Apparently they know a lot about the structure of the White House bunker.

You must know that since the last attack on the White House, the US government has carried out large-scale renovations of the underground of the White House. The renovation has only been completed for less than a year, and even the White House itself may not fully understand it. However, this group of gangsters discovered the weak points of the structure as easily and happily as if they had entered their own home.

After everything happened last night, a group of people were not in a hurry. They quickly controlled all parts of the White House, took over all the facilities in the White House, and then began to open all the defensive weapons of the White House. It seemed that they did not intend to leave.

…

On the other side, SHIELD's flying aircraft carrier appeared in the North Pole.

"What's the meaning?!

" Hill looked at his subordinates in surprise.

Ms. Carter was also on the side with a horrified expression.

“The White House was attacked again???”

The word "you" is very spiritual.

"Yes! There is a mess in Washington now, and there is no one who can make the decision at all." The agent's expression was also very subtle: "The president, vice president, and several cabinet ministers were all meeting at the time. After the attack, , they were all taken to the underground fortress for protection according to emergency plans, but now they have lost contact with the underground fortress."

"Vice President?" Carter asked doubtfully, "Why is the Vice President in the White House?"

Eggs cannot be put in one basket.

The same goes for countries. Most of the time, the President and Vice President of the United States do not spend time together, nor do they need to. After all, both have their own jobs. At the same time, this is also done to avoid being blamed. In the American system, the vice president does not have much power. Although the vice president will also serve as the speaker of the Senate, as the speaker, his power is really limited. The Constitution stipulates that the Senate has 100 senators. When a certain bill is voted on and there is a tie of 50:50 or 49:49, the vice president only has the right to vote. More symbolic than practical.

Its only use is as a spare tire. It is responsible for the national security of the United States when the president has an accident or steps down.

So most of the time, the president and vice president don't stay together. There are only a handful of occasions when the President and Vice President appear together, so it wouldn't be surprising to the public to see the President and Vice President appear together more often than not. Because the activity requires it. But they don't actually spend most of their time together, and their offices are in different locations.

"There will be a dinner and a medal ceremony at the White House tonight. The president and the vice president need to attend together. In addition, the vice president will soon go to France for an international visit to hold diplomatic talks with France on behalf of the president."

Although the vice president has no executive power, he can be responsible for some practical affairs. However, this depends on the relationship between the president and the vice president, as well as the vice president's own resources and abilities. Therefore, there have been many strong vice presidents in the history of the United States, such as Vice President Dick Cheney during the George W. Bush period. This person was very powerful. He was Bush’s Secretary of Defense, Bush’s Vice President, and was known as the most powerful person in the United States in half a century. The powerful vice president, Bush relied on him for many policies, and many people even called him the shadow president.

In short, the vice president can also exercise some powers. It mainly depends on how the president arranges it.

Therefore, although it is uncommon for the vice president and the president to have meetings together, it is not uncommon.

"Who else?"

"The secretaries of state, defense, attorneys, and the interior, as well as members of the White House staff."

The two strong women frowned as they listened. How come the first few people in line for the presidency are all in the White House.

"What about the Speaker of the House?"

According to the presidential succession order, the Speaker of the House of Representatives is still very high in the line of succession, second only to the Vice President.

[To be honest, I have been reading books recently to catch up on updates. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. It can be used on both Android and Apple. 】

"The Speaker of the House of Representatives is not in Washington now. He is attending an event in California. But now, he should be on the C-40c VIP plane."

Agents quickly provided the House Speaker's itinerary.

The so-called C-40C VIP plane actually refers to Air Force One, the presidential plane, and Air Force Two, the Vice President's plane.

After receiving the news that the White House was attacked and the life and death of the President and Vice President were uncertain, the security personnel around the Speaker forcibly took the Speaker away from the venue and directly boarded the VIP plane. As long as the Speaker flew into the sky, the probability of being attacked would be small. a lot of.

To this end, the US military has dispatched a fighter squadron to escort.

After hearing the general situation, Carter and Hill looked at each other.

No one expected that something like this would happen.

Strictly speaking, this is a dereliction of duty on both sides. After all, one of the responsibilities of SHIELD and SHADOW is to monitor terrorist activities. Unexpectedly, terrorists attacked the White House for the second time. What's worse is that this time they still had no warning.

"What do our people in Washington say?"

Hill asked his subordinates directly.

"Our agents originally planned to carry out rescue, but were stopped by the military." The agents reported due diligence.

Hill rubbed his forehead and felt bad.

This means that SHIELD doesn't trust them anymore.

"Director!" Just when Hill was about to say something, an agent suddenly shouted: "The energy radiation has suddenly increased!"

Hill immediately looked over and saw a scanned image appearing on the big screen on the bridge. Under the ice cap of the North Pole, a red sector was deepening and expanding!

"Now that the military has taken over the rescue operation, let's focus on our own affairs." Carter also put down his phone at this time and came to Hill's side. She just contacted the person in charge of the Shadow Bureau in Washington and got the same reply. But compared to Hill's headache, Carter was much calmer.

For her, who the president is, or even whether he is dead or alive, has little impact on her.

Anyway, judging from her political reputation, this incident will not really affect the survival of the Shadow Bureau. After all, the Shadow Bureau has only been established for a little more than two years, so it is not the Shadow Bureau's turn to shoulder such a big responsibility.

On the contrary, S.H.I.E.L.D.…

"That's all." What can Hill do? Should we turn around and go back now?

By the time they fly back, the day lilies will probably be cold.

"Ready for action!"

…

A Quinjet took off from the aircraft carrier and flew towards Cobra's base.

On the plane, Phil sat not far from Captain America. After a while, he peeked at Captain America. When Steve turned to look over, he immediately turned back and pretended as if nothing happened.

This kind of behavior is like a primary school student seeing his first love, which is both clumsy and innocent.

Hawkeye Clint grinned and said helplessly: "If you want to strike up a conversation, just go. There's no need to be stupid here!"

Clint was also placed into this operation by Hill. Clint is now a senior agent, and like Phil, he is also an eighth-level agent. His current position is similar to Garrett's previous position, mainly responsible for field service and training new players.

"No...it's working time now." Phil is a huge fan of Captain America. When Captain America was dug out of the ice, this guy was the most excited. But the reality is that he has very little contact with Steve.

After all, being ordered around by Nick Fury every day, he has no time to chase stars. Afterwards, Steve was taken away by Carter and the Shadow Bureau was established. Then there would be no chance of contact.

The few rare encounters we had, they passed by in a hurry and there was no chance to chat.

Unexpectedly, we met again this time, and we were still performing the same mission.

"He's coming! He's coming! Clint, what should I do? What should I do?" Just as the two of them were talking, Steve finally couldn't help it anymore and stood up and walked over. Phil was so excited that he became incoherent.

Hawkeye couldn't understand Phil's behavior at all.

"Come as soon as you come."

After saying that, Hawkeye stood up and said, "Hi! Captain, what's the matter?"

"Oh, it's okay." Steve didn't know Hawkeye, but Steve wasn't shy at all. He pointed at Phil: "I just saw that he always looked at me, and I just wanted to ask, is he... …What’s the matter?”

Hawkeye glanced at Phil speechlessly and told him not to do such stupid things. But after thinking about it, Hawkeye decided to help a group of his old friends.

"Oh, it's not a big deal. He's Phil Coulson, a big fan of yours. He's been trying to get you to sign his cards."

"Card?" Steve wasn't familiar with this.

Phil quickly stood up to explain, otherwise Hawkeye would have finished speaking.

In fact, those cards are just like the Water Margin cards from Little Raccoon. There is something similar here in the United States.

"Just like baseball star cards! I have your complete set of super flash cards, all collector's editions! The kind that are out of print!"

As he spoke, Phil took a stack of very well-preserved cards from his pocket, and the plastic packaging on them was not even opened.

Hawkeye rolled his eyes and said, "It's work time now." But he actually carried this thing with him.

This is Phil's treasure. Usually, it is placed in the glass cabinet in the room and no one is allowed to touch it. But now it is all in his pocket, and he said it was not premeditated.

"Especially this one, there is your hair in it!" Phil didn't pay attention to Hawkeye, but excitedly introduced the cards in his hand to Steve.

These cards have printed photos and illustrations, and the style is very old.

He solemnly introduced one of the cards. The material of this card looks different from the others. The border is gold, and there is a hair in the center of the card! Americans are very good at playing, such as card collection games, which are also played out by them. For example, for celebrity cards like this, they not only make cards of various shapes, but also make celebrity hair cards and DNA cards.

Of course, ordinary people are not so boring, only some fanatical enthusiasts will collect this thing.

Steve's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief: "How is it possible?"

"It's true!" Phil said confidently: "I've done a DNA test!"

Hawkeye covered his face.

He grabbed Phil and dragged him back desperately: "Sorry! Captain, my colleague has a problem with his brain! Excuse me!"

"Hey! Clint! What are you doing! Cards! Cards! My cards!"

Hawkeye pulled Phil into another room: "Didn't you see the captain's expression?"

"What expression?"

"Everyone thinks you're a pervert!"

"Pervert? What pervert?"

"Not a pervert, but would you collect people's hair?"

Phil only reacted at this time: "Just now..."

It seems that Captain America just now did not question whether the hair was real, but was incredible about this perverted behavior.

Phil suddenly felt that his heart was dead.

Being regarded as a pervert by the person he admired.

There was a knock at the door.

The two turned their heads and saw that it was Steve.

Steve was holding Phil's card.

"Here... I'll give it back to you." Steve handed the signed card to Phil: "Although I don't quite understand this behavior, it feels quite strange. Haha."

Steve couldn't quite describe this feeling, but he didn't think it was a big deal. When he was young, he also collected things like illustrated postcards. It's just that the hair thing... he couldn't accept it.
