Aegis is one of the five major streams...
Pooh.
SHIELD was jointly founded by the five major hegemons, but among them, Russia and the East Kingdom only provided financial sponsorship and did not grant SHIELD the law enforcement authority in their respective countries.
Russia and the Eastern Kingdom are both playing their own games.
Russia has its own [Guardian Alliance].
The East Country has its own [Divine Spear Bureau].
The Guardians, S.H.I.E.L.D., and SHIELD share data and intelligence, but when it comes to cases involving both countries, SHIELD can only play a supporting role and cannot act as the ADC itself.
so...
SHIELD sounds awesome, but in reality, only three of the five hegemons—Washington, Paris, and London—have actual law enforcement authority.
Moreover, this law enforcement authority was granted secretly.
The constitutions of the three countries cannot meet the requirements of both confidentiality and law enforcement power, and this is especially true for the federal government. If even the president wants to be granted law enforcement power, he cannot bypass Congress.
The fact that SHIELD can enforce the law secretly was a decision that was agreed upon in Congress and they turned a blind eye to it.
at the moment?
If this matter gets out of hand and S.H.I.E.L.D. is exposed, then this will not only make the people feel at ease, but will also make them feel scared.
Good job.
A secret law enforcement agency?
What does Washington want to do? Is it to control their freedom in every aspect through this secret law enforcement agency?
Believe me.
Washington will explode.
and.
Once S.H.I.E.L.D. is exposed, it will not just be a Washington issue, it will be global in nature.
Well...
It will be a big event for the entire Western world. By then, the scene of the Western world parading around the world will no longer be a dead legend.
As for the East and Russia?
Without a doubt.
These two countries will condemn Washington because they have honestly told their respective citizens that they absolutely did not grant the so-called S.H.I.E.L.D. the power to enforce the law in their countries, and they only provided funding because of Washington's threats.
That picture will be beautiful.
In fact.
The four countries have just had an emergency phone call with the President. If things get out of control, they will stop funding S.H.I.E.L.D. if necessary.
This is what the East and Russia said.
They have the confidence because SHIELD is just a backup for them anyway.
Paris and London are more reserved.
In short.
Even if the President is not doing this for S.H.I.E.L.D., he will not try to maintain S.H.I.E.L.D. for the sake of his own approval rating.
How can I top this?
I can't stand it anymore.
For the president, everything is a tool. As long as it affects his approval rating, he can throw anything away. After all, he worked hard to raise his approval rating with the incident in September last year.
After the President announced his decision, he slammed the table without waiting for Director Langley's reaction.
That's settled.
Out of the Pennsylvania Avenue villa.
In the car.
Minister Kelly, who was sitting in the back seat, said to Lake, who was sitting in the passenger seat, "You got what you wanted. Now, it's your turn."
Lake turned his head and looked confused: "Me?"
Secretary Kelly didn't intend to play tricks and said directly, "Mr. President has already slammed the table. You are the primary person responsible for this case. You can close it any way you want. But I don't care what method you use. You must calm this storm down. And also, you must catch that damned leaker, Professor X. Dead or alive. Do you understand?"
Lake opened his mouth and said, "Minister, we do not have foreign law enforcement authority."
Minister Kelly asked the driver to stop the car and smiled at Lake. "Get out of the car and find your own way. I need to go back and catch up on some sleep."
Lake: "…"
Three flying ornaments.
"What?"
Nick Fury's single eye shrank slightly, and after listening to Alexander Pierce's words, he shook his head and said, "No, Megan Walsh is ours."
Alexander Pierce said directly: "Megan Walsh is not from our S.H.I.E.L.D., she is just a killer trained by a killer base, do you understand?"
I feel tired.
Alexander Pierce marveled at the way the Black King and Lake cooperated.
Such a comparison.
Alexander Pierce had an urge to change his heir.
Speaking of which...
If Lake Edwin were recruited into S.H.I.E.L.D., and then given a helping hand, wouldn't Hydra's strength be greatly increased?
It's better than the current situation where no one is using it and black-braised eggs are the king.
Alexander Pierce was a little shaken. The reason why he chose Nick Fury as his successor had already been mentioned. The only one who was qualified to compete with Nick Fury was Maria Hill. The latter was too smart and had strong principles of her own. Nick Fury was chosen because he was easy to control. If Maria Hill was allowed to take office, Hydra would probably be exposed.
I am the leader of Hydra, so why do I have to worry about S.H.I.E.L.D. every day?
wrong.
Why do I have to clean up the black-braised eggs every day?
I must have made the decision after drinking industrial alcohol.
Alexander Pierce secretly blamed himself. If he had chosen someone else, the current situation would not be like this.
Nick Fury is also ambitious, which is one of the main reasons why Alexander chose him. But now it seems that he might as well have chosen a fool instead of Nick Fury.
At least a fool can appear wise occasionally.
Nick Fury is a perfect example of great wisdom in disguised stupidity.
This is probably due to racial talent.
Nick Fury said in a deep voice: "This is obviously a trap."
Lake Edwin and his killer friend jointly set up another trap for S.H.I.E.L.D.
Nick Fury knew what was going on.
Alexander deadpanned, "Do you have any evidence?"
Nick Fury said, "Give me some time, I can find the evidence."
Alexander sighed: "I'll give you time, will the White House give me time? Hand him over at 12 noon tomorrow."
Nick Fury frowned.
Alexander Pierce looked at Nick Fury, who remained silent, and shook his head. "You should know who the White House guy will choose."
Paused.
Alexander Pierce seemed to be trying to persuade Nick Fury: "After the main personnel of the base have been evacuated, please go to the New York Operations Center. I'll try to see if I can find a way to get back the number 83 you've been eyeing after the Department of Homeland Security closes the case."
Give a slap and then a sweet date.
This is Nick Fury's fault again.
If Nick Fury hadn't accidentally let No. 83 fake his death and escape, and was eventually discovered by Homeland Security, would these things have happened? After the meeting ended at the White House, they directly began to hold S.H.I.E.L.D. accountable.
In short,
Either it's Nick Fury's fault or it's S.H.I.E.L.D.'s fault.
Choose one of the two.
What choice does Alexander Pierce have?
Alexander patted Nick on the shoulder and said, "Go to New York and rest for a while. Come back after the storm is over."
Nick: "…"
Poor Nick Fury, he was doing well as deputy director and was just one step away from taking over the director's post when Alexander Pierce stepped down.
What's the result?
Last year, he was demoted from deputy director of SHIELD to head of the Overseas Secret Service Academy.
today?
Once again, he went from being the head of an overseas academy to being the SHIELD operations center in New York, position... not available yet.
Just thinking about it makes me feel sad and makes me cry...
the next day.
independence Day.
Lake called Rachel Armstrong at the Quantico base.
"Mr. Edwin?"
"Good morning, Ms. Armstrong."
Rachel was surprised when she received Lake's call: "Mr. Edwin is looking for me because..."
Lake got straight to the point: "I'd like you to come and watch a show at the Quantico Military Base. I'll give you a spot as a cameraman, an exclusive one. Are you interested?"
Rachel, who had been sleeping on her desk, stood up immediately: "Sure, what time?"
Lake smiled and said, "How about coming over now?"
Rachel walked towards Bonnie's office, pushed the door open, looked at Bonnie, and said into the phone, "Okay, I'll be leaving right away."
Hang up the phone.
Rachel said to Bonnie, "I'm requesting the newspaper helicopter."
Bonnie: "…"
Boom boom boom!
Half an hour later.
Lake, dressed in a regular military uniform with medals of honor hanging on his chest, looked up at the news helicopter that was slowly descending under the command of the base tower and smiled.
It's time to end it.
Last night, Lake learned from the contact in Hydra's Washington office that Nick Fury had once again become the scapegoat and was sent to New York.
That's good.
Once in New York, it's his territory.
hehe.
Riker has plenty of ways to deal with Nick Fury.
Provoke me?
I will annoy you for the rest of my life and make you live a life worse than death.
Let's talk about that side.
Rachel got off the helicopter and looked at Lake standing not far away. She seemed stunned for a moment, then walked over and shook hands with Lake: "Wow, Edwin...Major! You look even more handsome in your military uniform."
Lake thanked him and said, "You look beautiful today too."
Rachel said, "Don't be ridiculous. I've been sleeping in the newspaper office these past few days and can't even take a shower."
Lake smiled and said, "Seriously, you look beautiful today."
"…"
This is definitely not flirting.
Lake said that besides not touching lolis, the second thing he would not touch was married women, except for those he didn't know about. But as long as he knew about them, Lake would definitely not do such a thing.
Well...
If they were divorced, Lake wouldn't mind.
Ten minutes later.
Lake brought Rachel and her photographer to the base's command center.
The center's twelve large screens are currently black.
Many people in military uniforms are busy working.
Lake said to Rachel next to him: "You can turn on your camera, but the subsequent editing must be done under the supervision of the base. After all, some of them are military secrets."
Rachel nodded quickly towards her camera, then handed the signed confidentiality agreement to a soldier. Then she turned to Lake and said, "Major Edwin, can I give you a spoiler? What are you planning to do?"
Lake looked at Rachel. "Thanks to your article, Homeland Security has officially closed the case. I learned the destination of this overseas assassin academy from my informant. In twenty minutes, our soldiers will airdrop there and bring you to supervise the entire process. Then, we can clear our name."
Rachel: "…"
