Chapter 1699: Interception (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket! Please Subscribe!! Please Recommend!

In fact, the authority of all space-based weapons satellites has been taken back from SHIELD by the government... After all, a federal subordinate agency has a powerful force that the federation does not have... It's too much. By the way, what Alexander Pierce and Nick Fury pursued most tirelessly was to make SHIELD an agency on par with the US government. You can see from its composition that it is directly responsible to the Security Council!

Its specifications are already equal to those of the US government to a certain extent. The US government did not object to this at the beginning. After all, SHIELD's sphere of influence has expanded to their allies, which is only good for the US government. Therefore, when SHIELD was first made into an international organization, the US government strongly supported it.

After all, the United States was the undisputed world hegemon at that time. Even during the US-Soviet hegemony, they were the undoubted father of the West! It seems that the control of SHIELD has been shared, but in fact it is still dominated by Americans.

However, all this has changed after the nuclear bomb flew to New York.

Because from that time on, the US government realized that it had been fooled. There are five seats in the Security Council, one for the United States and one for China. But China has never been very interested in SHIELD, and SHIELD is also wary of China. Both sides have no desire to communicate and cooperate, so China's seat is purely for fun. Except for attending major decisions, they basically don't express any opinions on SHIELD.

After all, the reason why SHIELD recognized that Chinese representatives had control over them was actually to enter China to develop power. As a result, China didn't care about SHIELD at all. After all, SHIELD was just fishing with a name, and had no intention of giving China any real power.

The entire Security Council has five seats: the United States, Britain, France, Russia and China. Britain and France have always been the iron brothers of the United States. Russia is even worse than China. China is strong and economically developed after all. Even if they want to exclude it, they have to think twice. They can only use small tricks to disgust China, but the old Russians are miserable. That's really naked hatred!

But the United States never expected that when the aliens invaded, his two younger brothers decisively stabbed the United States in the back. Britain and France agreed to the final solution, which was nuclear bombing. For the safety of the whole world, New York was sacrificed!

The US representative at that time had been assassinated and did not attend the meeting at all. Pierce, who was temporarily attending the meeting, was only specially authorized and could not actually represent the United States. Therefore, although he voted against it in the vote at that time, it did not change anything.

China voted against it as always... It was not that China intended to wear pants with the United States, but that it could not stand the faces of these people. He knew that even if he voted against it, it would basically not change the outcome. Of course, he would still do things in his usual style.

Just express an attitude.

As for Russia... you can imagine it.

So three to two passed the final solution.

Although this matter was successfully resolved, the sequelae were very large. This made the United States realize that SHIELD was getting out of their control. The strategy that once looked very good was actually depriving the United States of its control over SHIELD in disguise.

And SHIELD... they really launched a nuclear strike... Damn, is there anything wrong with saying this? SHIELD doesn't consider itself a subordinate agency of the United States at all!

This is also the reason why Benjamin hates SHIELD so much!

His own dog wants to bite his master!

Since then, the United States has begun to divide SHIELD's power and suppress its influence.

Back to the point, after Nick Fury and Pierce severely cheated SHIELD, many of SHIELD's assets were accepted by the US government. Among them are space-based weapons satellites. But who is Nick Fury?

A severe patient of paranoia, he extremely distrusts the US government and thinks that people in the US government are all idiots.

Naturally, he would not let go of a big killer like a space-based weapons satellite. It is safest for him to control it personally.

So a long time ago, he set up a backdoor in these satellites, which allows him to forcibly seize control.

However, once this backdoor is used, it will be discovered immediately and then repaired. This is absolutely certain. After all... others are not fools.

So it can only be used once... This makes Nick Fury feel distressed. He spent so much money back then, but it was taken away by those idiots of the US government... But it's worth it! As long as this is over, he can return to his rightful position, everything will come back, and the world will become safer!

...

Just when Nick Fury was looking forward to the future.

The White House went crazy.

Benjamin stood up without any manners, threw his suit aside, and roared loudly: "Is this still our country? Why did our own weapons launch an attack, but we didn't know anything about it? ! ! What are you doing? ! ! "

In fact, the White House knew that they were attacked earlier than the base, or even the radar station, and much earlier! After all, the space-based weapons satellite has always been in the hands of the government. Once it loses control, it will naturally know immediately.

But even so, the people on the government side still failed to stop the launch of space-based weapons.

And this thing... it's not easy to intercept!

A group of people were scolded by the president so badly that they couldn't even lift their heads. Things were originally moving in a good direction. The president also witnessed the government's ability to act, and it was also a great opportunity for everyone to make their presence felt.

President Benjamin has a high approval rating... This is amazing. A lot of things have happened in the United States in recent years. It can be said that it is the most disaster-ridden country in the world, and it can't even maintain its international hegemony. But even so, the whole society has remained stable, and the economy has achieved gratifying growth like a miracle.

These are undoubtedly the contributions of President Benjamin.

In fact, many people know that the world is changing, although it is a bit unexpected. But people can't fight against the general trend, people can only adapt to the world. Benjamin did a very good job. Even though there are many disasters, Benjamin still controls the country and keeps it on the right track.

This is already very rare.

Many knowledgeable people have praised Benjamin's governance. Although many people are dissatisfied with the current situation in the United States, they also know that if Benjamin is replaced, the next president may not do better than Benjamin.

If a less shrewd guy is replaced and messes around for approval, then the United States will have a lot of fun.

After all, according to the traditional set of American politicians, when seeing a contradiction, the first thing they do is not to solve the contradiction, but to create a bigger contradiction to cover up the previous contradiction.

If they feel that their approval rate is not high, then they will make trouble and set up a target for people to attack.

The most typical example is to attack superheroes and mutants. If that doesn't work, they will transfer the contradiction abroad and start a war.

This vertical division of society is a traditional skill of American politicians.

But this divides American society. In the past, the United States was the best in the world, so of course there was no problem in doing so, after all, it could withstand it. But now doing so again will divide the entire society, and consume America's own strength!

So even those who don't like Benjamin know that Benjamin is the greatest common denominator now. Even if everyone doesn't like him, they will not strongly oppose it. Instead, it will allow the United States to move forward steadily. Otherwise... given the current national situation, once there is a change, the United States will only be more passive.

Let's get back to the point.

Since Benjamin has confirmed that he will be re-elected and will be re-elected for multiple terms, most heads of institutions are happy to show up in front of Benjamin.

They did well in the early stage, but now... they all wish Benjamin couldn't see them.

"Speak up! Weren't you very talkative just now? Why aren't you talking now!"

Benjamin used to be a very gentle person. Putting aside the political factions and the left and right, his personal charm is still very good. The staff around him all know that he is a very easy-to-talk person, gentle and polite, and good at listening.

But since he became president, Benjamin felt that he was about to get manic.

He even wanted to retire at one point.

After all, this president is really not easy.

Since he became president, the White House has been breached twice, and he almost died twice, but he survived. Then there was the Battle of Los Angeles and the Battle of New York, which were extremely thrilling. He also survived, and then encountered a massive invasion by the Atlanteans, and the navies of various countries were destroyed, but Benjamin survived, and also represented all mankind in the subsequent peace talks with the Atlanteans, which was a huge diplomatic success and the results were also very good.

It can be regarded as Benjamin's most proud political achievement.

Then the world was so harsh on him, and then Hydra messed up... The United States almost became a laughing stock of the world, and even the people began to doubt whether the government was really doing anything, or whether a group of people were just sitting there doing nothing and eating and drinking at public expense every day.

Damn, SHIELD was infiltrated by Hydra, what are you doing? ! !

Benjamin still survived!

But soon, the MUTOs attacked, and two MUTOs brought huge disasters to the United States. San Francisco was destroyed for the most part, and Hawaii was hit hard! The last fleet of the United States also disappeared completely.

This is not over yet, the reconstruction of San Francisco is still in progress, and then there will be the Titan War...

Benjamin wants to die.

This is not counting the various big and small things that happened in the middle.

Benjamin already feels exhausted. A few days ago, the first lady said that his health was much worse... Benjamin felt that if he continued like this, his wife would cheat... and with his best political ally, Kai!

It's terrible!

Even so, there are still people who are bent on finding trouble for him...

"Speak up!!!"

The most important thing at this time is not to give the president the truth, but to give him a channel to vent, otherwise everyone is waiting for bad luck.

"Mr. President! I think I know who is behind this."

Carter stood up and said without hesitation.

A group of people looked at Carter, feeling like they saw a god, a brave man.

After all, the president is now dizzy with anger, don't think that Ms. Carter's prestige can exempt her from criticism.

"Who?"

"Our old rival-Nick Fury!"

In fact, Carter has no evidence... But is it time to need evidence now? Anyway, Nick Fury's reputation is already very bad, so he doesn't care about more black material.

"In the 1980s, although I was almost retired, I still know a little bit. It was Nick Fury who decided to continue the Star Wars strategy."

At that time, Hydra took a fancy to the powerful power of the space-based weapon system and the global strike range, but soon they found out... this thing was too expensive! It is not only expensive to develop, manufacture and launch satellites, but more importantly, it takes a huge amount of resources and energy to conceal these things.

The final reckoning... come on, let's forget it. It wouldn't be that much money to dismantle and sell the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra.

So the plan was put on hold.

But Nick Fury strongly opposed it because he felt that was the future.

"It is very likely that from that time on, he began to secretly control those space-based weapons and satellites."

Benjamin remained motionless with a dark face.

Seeing this scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and finally calmed down.

The chief of staff immediately asked: "Then what is his purpose?"

The chief of staff's job is to check for leaks and fill vacancies for the president. In fact, it is normal for the president to get angry with his subordinates. After all, you did something wrong. But the problem is that things in the world are never so pure. The people sitting in this office now are all big bosses. The president needs to control his anger and not make them feel too humiliated. Otherwise, if they do not cooperate with the president's work, The president will also feel bad.

Therefore, the chief of staff must be within control so that the president and others can maintain the minimum face.

Don't make the scene too ugly.

"Probably ruling the world or something."

In fact, Carter is willing to believe in Nick Fury. After all, she has watched Nick Fury grow up, but Nick Fury has completely inherited some aspects of his style from Pierce... Pierce is also considered by her to be her most ideal person. Where is the heir!

This makes Carter don't know how to clear Nick Fury's suspicion.

Later, Nick Fury took Carol Danvers to side with the Skrulls... Really, at that moment, Carter didn't know how to describe the scene.

Then Carol Danvers was killed by Kai.

Nick Fury is on the run again.

It’s hard to convince Carter of Nick Fury’s position anymore.

What on earth is this guy thinking?

Is it really contaminated by Hydra?

"But what good will waking up the Titan do to him?!"

Another senior executive also asked.

But at this time, Benjamin said with a dark face: "Everyone... is it too early to talk about the traitor now? Our current problem is what should we do? Is there any way for us to stop the deployment of space-based weapons satellites immediately! It It's moving towards the airspace of Black Rock Mountain and will be launched soon! What can we do! As for Nick Fury... that's what happens later!"

After saying that, he looked at the military representative: "Can we knock down the satellite?"

"It's possible... but it won't help much." The military said with a grimace: "We have such a weapon, but it takes time to deploy it. After all, this is not a conventional weapon..."

The earth has not yet evolved to the level of space warfare, and it is very lacking in the ability to attack targets in space. It is not that there is no such thing, but there is no need to deploy such unconventional weapons. Who would be so free to spend time maintaining such practical weapons? On a weapon that is not very sexy?

So now if we want to take out this weapon, it will take at least a few hours... But the problem is that the space-based weapons satellite will be successfully deployed soon.

"It's too late now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the alarm sounded again.

"Then intercept the missile! Immediately! We can't do nothing!"
