Chapter 1948 Old Friends (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!!! Please Subscribe!!! Please Recommend!!!)
"How is that possible!" Mei stood up immediately and took out a weapon.
It turns out that SHIELD is the third party, but no one knows it. Director Hill had to pay a huge price to get this task. There is no way, SHIELD and Nick Fury have been inseparable for a long time.
SHIELD made Nick Fury one of the most powerful people in the world, and no matter how unreliable Nick Fury was, he did make SHIELD's power take off. From Alexander Pierce, he could only be The American secret service grew into a worldwide organization.
The two complement each other, which also means that it is impossible for the two to be completely separated easily.
But it is also this kind of inseparability that brings a devastating blow to SHIELD. After all, half of SHIELD is Nine Heads, and the director is a traitor to mankind, so how can the rest be good birds? This is a very simple idea, but the more simple the idea, the more common it is. This idea is spread all over the world, which also causes SHIELD to be distrusted around the world.
After all, who knows what kind of mess there is in the remaining half of you.
Coupled with the great changes in the world situation, the power of the United States has completely shrunk, and its hegemony has subsequently fallen!
In 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed, and the United States became the only superpower in the world, finally gaining the world hegemony it longed for. In 1999, the United States launched the Kosovo War without authorization from the United Nations, trampling on the international rules established after World War II. The hegemony of the United States has reached a higher level, reaching its highest peak in history. At this time, the United States is full of pride as a global hegemon and cannot tolerate any offence. Therefore, when the most serious terrorist attack in history occurred in the United States in 2001, the entire United States was furious and excited. The U.S. government quickly reached a consensus to retaliate against "terrorist countries" that "harbor terrorists" and transform these countries into "democratic countries" that are in line with U.S. interests. At this time, the United States would never have imagined that this revenge would in just 20 years make the hegemony established by the United States over two centuries crumbling.
At the beginning, the United States did very well. Whether it was operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, or Syria, military victories were quickly achieved. However, after that, the United States made the mistake that all hegemonic countries make, which is to "transform" these countries according to its own wishes and needs, rather than the wishes of the local people. This neo-colonial approach aroused dissatisfaction and resistance from the local people, and the US military stationed there fell into a bottomless abyss of security warfare and guerrilla warfare. This disordered chaos has also become fertile ground for extremism. The United States launched a war in the name of "anti-terrorism", but it seems that "the more counter-terrorism becomes, the more terrorism becomes" and breeds more terrorism.
In this process, the image of the United States as a "beacon of democracy and freedom" has gradually collapsed, and has been replaced by a "source of unrest" that "invades other countries." At the same time, the huge burden caused by the war was also dragging down the U.S. economy step by step. Since the 2008 economic crisis, the U.S. fiscal deficit has become increasingly serious, and the government can only continue to raise the debt ceiling to maintain the U.S. economy. When the debt burden increases to a certain extent, economic "stagflation" is inevitable. Under the "stagflation" crisis, the gap between the rich and the poor in the United States has widened at an unprecedented rate. The "middle class" who originally served as a social stabilizer in the United States has fallen to the bottom, and social crises have followed.
In fact, the decline of the United States is inevitable. Unless there is another world war and the United States continues to win, it will be impossible to maintain hegemony. After all, there are too many sins to bear. This thing is not just an empty talk that evil will be punished, but a real human heart. More and more people are unwilling to accept the oppression of the United States.
Including their old allies. After all, the United States harvests them every once in a while. Who can stand this?
The more such ideas become more and more common, the more resources the United States can use to maintain its hegemony. However, the cost of maintenance will become larger and larger, which becomes a debt that the United States must bear. These costs are more than just money.
What's more important is the human heart.
More than ten or twenty years ago, or even thirty or forty years further back, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, did anyone speak ill of the United States internationally?
How can young people from all over the world not yearn for the United States?
But if you look at it now, even in Bangzi and Benzi, there are quite a few people in China who are unhappy with the United States! In the past, they dared to bare their teeth with their American father?
Those major events only accelerated the decline of the United States. In essence, the United States bullied the world more and more, causing everyone to become more and more disgusted with this boss. As major events here occur one after another, the decline of the United States is accelerating, and the backlash is getting stronger and bigger.
In the final analysis, S.H.I.E.L.D. actually grew up relying on the hegemony of the United States. Now that the United States is no longer able to support it, it is time for S.H.I.E.L.D. to pay off its debt.
You know, S.H.I.E.L.D.’s behavior over the years is not gentle and gentle, it can even be said to be extremely overbearing!
There is one thing that perhaps no one has ever mentioned before. That is that SHIELD has no legal basis for enforcing the law in various countries! Yes, SHIELD actually has no law enforcement power in places other than North America. (Canada is not counted. This country is estimated to be unable to resist the United States in this life. After all, the United States has it covered. So no matter what the United States has, Canada must follow. SHIELD secretly enforces the law in the United States, which is authorized by the Supreme Court. Canada is similar. They can enforce the law normally in North America)
After all, no country will hand over its law enforcement power in a muddle. You must know that SHIELD's law enforcement power has the highest priority. In the United States, SHIELD does things without notifying anyone. This kind of humiliating priority is absolutely impossible unless the leaders of various countries have eaten too many brain-dead movies. This is even more colonial than a colony.
But due to the great power of the United States, everyone is speechless, so it has resulted in SHIELD having no legal basis, but still being able to enforce the law in various countries...To put it bluntly, it is just a hooligan, but everyone has no choice but to endure it.
But with the overall contraction of the United States, it is time to pay back the debt!
The first to react were those in NATO. These people have always been staunch allies of the United States, but they also defected the fastest. They joined the alliance because they wanted the security protection of the United States, but as the situation changed, the United States has completely shrunk, and their security guarantees have been greatly reduced.
The only reason they did not cancel the alliance was that the giant bear to their east was eyeing them again. Everyone is still very scared... But if you want them to be obedient like before, that's just overthinking.
The first to suffer was SHIELD.
Everyone will not move the military bases of various countries because it is closely related to security.
But SHIELD?
Damn, you are an illegal organization, why are you still pretending to be a big wolf?
The law enforcement agencies of various countries have been unhappy with SHIELD for a long time. It was fine for showing off before, but why are you doing it now?
And the reason is very ready, Nick Fury and Hydra.
So countries began to clear out SHIELD.
This led to SHIELD being directly beaten back from an international organization to a secret department under the United States.
Even in the United States, SHIELD is not well received.
After all, you have a criminal record!
Besides, SHIELD is not very well received in the country.
So after Hill became the director, the situation of SHIELD was actually very, very bad. Hill had the ability, but he could only support it reluctantly. If he wanted to restore the power of SHIELD... there was no hope for at least 20 years.
But even if there was no hope, he had to do something!
First of all, they had to cut ties with Nick Fury.
Otherwise, they would never get rid of the stain, which was a fatal blow to them.
This kind of cut was not as simple as just shouting a few slogans or kicking out the people who were once promoted by Nick Fury... and the latter was impossible.
If it was an ordinary leader who only cared about his own future, he might have really done it. But Hill was a very capable director. She didn't want SHIELD to sink, so she would protect some agents who had no problems and were capable... not to mention that she was also promoted by Nick Fury. If she was to be fired, she would be the first to get out.
If they want to give confidence to the outside world, they must come up with something tangible.
So what is the fastest and best way?
Catch Nick Fury, even if they kill him.
Unfortunately... they worked hard for several years, and finally let the New York police catch Nick Fury.
New York Police Department... This thing, SHIELD used to find it difficult to even glance at them. After all, SHIELD rarely deals with these local police departments, and even if they do, they will be under the title of FBI, so it is naturally impossible to have any dealings with the New York Police Department.
But now, such a local police department has actually done what they have not done for several years... Who would have believed this before?
But the reality is so cruel. Even if you know that the New York Police Department has a great god like Kai, there is no way to make up for such a gap.
But the people below can have such thoughts, but Hill has no idea at all. She can only try her best to get SHIELD out of the influence of Nick Fury.
So she sent her most trusted agent Melinda May to escort Nick Fury... Although this impression score is much worse than arresting Nick Fury, it is better than nothing, right?
May is now one of Hill's most trusted agents, and Hill is also a feminist.
After she took office, the opportunities for women to rise to high positions have increased significantly.
Let's get back to the point. In short, in order to ensure the success of this mission, SHIELD has made a lot of preparations. The other two routes are baits and covers. SHIELD chose to secretly go directly from New York to Washington by water.
But unexpectedly, someone came to their door now... This means that there is a spy inside them! ! !
Soon the gunshots outside became louder and louder, and it was obvious that the enemy was getting closer and closer.
"Is it the person you are looking for? ! ! "May asked.
Nick Fury raised his head: "Calm down, May. Remember that you are the best agent, calm down and consider your situation."
May calmed down quickly.
"No, it's not you. Otherwise you wouldn't have waited until now." May shook her head, thinking it was unlikely.
After all, it was almost half a month in New York. If Nick Fury had this ability, he would have run away long ago.
"Haha, I understand."
"It seems that you know who these people are?" Mei contacted the outside world. The situation was not bad. The main reason was that they were caught off guard. However, this time SHIELD made full preparations, with sufficient manpower and proper preparations. The situation was acceptable at the moment. After all, they still had reinforcements and they were not in a hurry.
"No, on the contrary, I don't know. Because I have too many enemies and too many people want my life. I only know that these people will not allow me to reach Washington." Nick Fury said calmly.
"In addition, you have to be careful. If they can find out here, it means that they are very clear about your arrangements and will not be so anticlimactic."
As soon as Nick Fury finished speaking, a huge explosion was heard.
"Well, it seems that the killer move is coming."
Nick Fury looked at Mei and said, "Let's make a deal! Let me go, I will deal with them with you. Otherwise, everyone will die!"
The reason why Nick Fury said so much to Mei with a pleasant face was naturally impossible because he had a good relationship with Mei. This guy has completely let himself go now. He doesn't love anyone except himself.
The reason why he was trying to get close to her was just for now.
As long as May lets go, then the sky is high and the birds fly freely!
As long as he reaches the sea, he can turn into water. At that time, no one can catch him!
"Impossible!" May refused without hesitation.
Just kidding, the New York police have not concealed Nick Fury's ability at all. The Absorbing Man has been dealing with S.H.I.E.L.D. for a long time. There is no need to emphasize how powerful this guy is!
Swish!
The door of the cabin where they were was torn open directly, and a huge figure appeared in front of everyone.
A guy with a metallic luster walked in.
And behind him, there was a guy that everyone knew!
"Grant Ward!!!"
Grant Ward is a former Level 7 agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., who was previously discovered and adopted by Level 8 agent John Garrett. He has always been a rising star of S.H.I.E.L.D. Why is he a former agent? Of course, it's because of John Garrett.
Because Agent Garrett is a Hydra spy, Agent Ward also joined Hydra.
He once joined Coulson's Avengers team, but unfortunately, when Hydra was exposed, he could no longer hide and had to defect.
In addition, he and May were once in a relationship.
Of course, May is not sure how much sincerity there is in this.
"Hi, May." Ward smiled at his former lover. To be honest, May is much older than Ward, at least ten years older, but Ward still thinks this woman is very attractive. She just looks serious, but in fact, in bed... she is quite awesome.
