Nick Fury's face is already very dark, so it's hard to tell if it's gotten any darker.
"We have a plan for the aerospace carrier - Project Insight."
He leaned forward, as if sharing a secret. "We are building three new aerospace carriers... Just three of them can deter anyone on Earth, monitor, stop, and control any criminal actions and criminals."
At Nick Fury's signal, the beautiful agent Hill took out the laptop she carried with her from her waterproof backpack, opened it and placed it in front of Lemu.
Inside was a data model of an aerospace mothership, with densely packed Quinjet fighters on the deck and 350 machine guns underneath the mothership.
Fury leaned back on the sofa and continued, "They are equipped with anti-gravity engines provided by Stark. They can stay in suborbital orbit forever. From commissioning to decommissioning, they do not need to land on the ground even once. At the same time, they are equipped with countless long-range precision machine guns, which can kill a thousand people in one minute."
"Through the cross-coverage of the three aerospace carriers, like satellites, firepower can simultaneously lock onto targets across the entire Earth. With the help of target positioning satellites and data analysis networks, it is possible to kill any terrorist before he walks out of the door."
"We can nip any threats in the bud before they emerge."
Lai Mu nodded in confusion, "Isn't this great?"
Although this is one of Hydra's conspiracies to rule the world, it still seems to make some sense on the surface.
Nick Fury's face suddenly darkened. He looked at the other party solemnly, "But...what if the gun is pointed at you and me one day?"
The sharp color in his one eye and the pursed corners of his mouth showed that he was not joking, and his slightly quickened breathing revealed a certain worry and urgency in his heart.
Agent Hill, who was standing behind him, also had a solemn expression.
The heavy rain outside the window became louder and louder. Suddenly, a dazzling flash of lightning appeared, and the roar reached the living room two or three seconds later.
Lemu frowned, raised his head slightly, and stared at Nick Fury with his golden amber eyes.
The so-called "Insight Project" is essentially a conspiracy by Pierce, the head of Hydra in S.H.I.E.L.D., to rule and intimidate the world.
According to the original development trajectory, Nick Fury should not know that there is a problem with this plan at this point in time.
As for Pierce, he was the guy who ran out and threatened to detain Loki and the Cosmic Cube after the alien war in New York. Although he looked like a clown at that time, he was actually a member of the board of directors, Fury's boss, and the real controller of the Hydra branch of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Lai Mu suddenly smiled indifferently.
Never mind. Pierce is not a threat to me right now.
No matter how Fury discovered the problem or how he discovered it in advance, he will just have to deal with the person who caused the problem when he has time.
"Don't act so nonchalant. It may not be a big deal for you superhumans, but what about the other people around you?"
Fury looked at him with some reproach, and was very unhappy with the indifferent smile on Lai Mu's face.
Lai Mu nodded perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, you are right... let's get to the point. You went through so much trouble to not only make an appointment in advance, but also come to my small place in this storm. You can't be trying to scare me with the aerospace carrier, right?"
"Hill, show him what we found."
Fury raised his chin, and Agent Hill stepped forward and switched the contents on the laptop screen to columns of data and structural charts.
"A few years ago, we discovered that a sum of 1.3 billion yuan disappeared out of thin air, and we haven't been able to find any clues until now. However, by investigating the flow of funds within S.H.I.E.L.D., we found many problems."
Fury pointed to the screen and asked him to look at it himself, then said, "Do you remember that an agent once came to your girlfriend? That was not actually my order, but someone acted on his own."
"Also, during the Battle of New York, Loki, who was imprisoned on the helicarrier, was released secretly."
"I can't find any clues, and I can't find any records in the surveillance or instruments."
"All this shows that there are undercurrents in SHIELD that I can't see... They have been doing whatever they want right under my nose. I don't know how many 'good things' they have done for the country and the people, and I know nothing about it!"
At this point, Fury stiffened his neck and gritted his teeth.
Lemu nodded blankly. So that was what happened. The butterfly effect caused by him made Nick Fury aware of the existence of Hydra in S.H.I.E.L.D. in advance.
"so……"
Fury looked at Lei Mu with his one eye, which was full of sincerity. "So, I came to ask you for help."
"I can't see with both eyes now. I don't know who is my enemy or my friend."
"You just trust me so much?"
"Because you are not from Earth, and you have just arrived on Earth. You are the last person who is likely to be involved in all this."
Lai Mu looked at Nick Fury deeply and said, "Thank you very much for your trust."
He deliberately put emphasis on the word trust.
Chapter 40. The situation as the leader of the Avengers
"Since you trust me so much, I must not let you down."
Under Lemu's slightly oppressive gaze, Nick Fury in front of him twisted his body uncomfortably.
After a second or two, Lai Mu withdrew his gaze.
"I actually know a little about these undercurrents in S.H.I.E.L.D. Since you've told me so much, I'll tell you the information I have."
As Lai Mu spoke, he took out a small packet of instant coffee from the drawer and made himself a cup. He used a spoon to gently stir the cup in a clockwise direction.
He has always had a habit of doing some mechanical movements when fooling people to help himself keep his thoughts clear.
"Loki... after he escaped from the helicarrier, I caught him on Stark Building, now Avengers Building. I pried a lot of information out of him."
"He was indeed let go by someone inside SHIELD, and the instigator was Alexander Pierce..."
Bang!
Fury suddenly slammed his fist on the table, interrupting Lai Mu's narration with his sudden action.
He took a deep breath, his clenched fists trembled slightly, and his one eye was bloodshot, "Are you sure! It's Alexander Pierce?!"
Hill, who had been standing behind Fury with an expressionless face, couldn't help but be moved.
Seeing their horrified expressions, Lai Mu seemed to be infected as well, his expression became more serious, "I'm sure! Loki is incapable of lying in front of me."
"Piers wanted the magic of Asgard, so he made a deal with Loki. He released Loki, and Loki taught Asgard magic to his people."
"But what he didn't know was that Loki was known as the God of Trickery in Asgard, and he didn't take mere mortals seriously. Pierce was tricked by him, which was why Pierce wanted to keep Loki after the Battle of New York at all costs."
If Lai Mu didn't know the truth himself, he would think that every word of the nonsense he said was true.
It is reasonable, well-coordinated, and can stand up to scrutiny, but there is no way to verify it.
He seemed to have thought of something else. "According to Loki, Pierce and his men like to shout a slogan. I remember it was 'Long Live Hydra'."
Nick Fury and Agent Hill, who were extremely shocked when they heard the name Pierce just now, were completely indifferent when they heard the words "Long live Hydra".
It’s like not knowing you or not caring about you.
Lei Mu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, as if smiling. He looked at Nick Fury's eyes which gradually became empty, as if he was looking at something deeper through his eyes.
He continued, “After that, I kept investigating secretly.”
"We found some people who had close contacts with Pierce, or had contact with each other through secret channels, including Brock Rumlow, Sitwell, Ernst... Some of these people were agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and some were government officials and congressmen."
"By the way, although Natasha and Hawkeye are also SHIELD agents, I can vouch for them that they have nothing to do with Hydra... The same goes for Captain America Steve."
Logically speaking, in Nick Fury's eyes, Lemu knew only a little more than him, and was not able to completely understand Hydra's details. He also had no concrete evidence in his hands, so his guarantee was naturally not enough.
But often the greatest weight comes not from evidence but from power.
The ghost armor from Lei Mu, the world's most advanced nuclear bomb technology and his magic.
Because of the existence of these things, Nick Fury has to pay attention to every word he says.
In fact, Lai Mu didn't think that he could guarantee someone with just a few words from Fury, he just wanted to let Fury know that he valued these people. In this way, he wouldn't deliberately put them in danger in order to test them during the operation.
Nick Fury has always been suspicious and cunning. Apart from the team he brought up himself, such as Hill and Coulson, he doesn't even trust Captain America and Natasha.
Lai Mu is not idle to guarantee Captain America and others. In addition to being a friend, he is also the leader of the Avengers (self-proclaimed), and has the responsibility to take care of his brothers.
The pattern needs to be opened up.
Fury nodded noncommittally, sighed, and his expression became a little heavy.
It was as if he was still immersed in the pain of hearing Pierce betraying humanity.
He picked up the bottle of mineral water in front of him, took a big gulp, and crushed the empty bottle in his hands. He stared at the ground with lifeless eyes, and slowly told a story with some discomfort and hesitation.
"... Pierce used to be the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and I was highly appreciated by him because I saved his daughter, which is how I got to where I am today."
"You may not know this, but in 1992, Pierce turned down the Nobel Peace Prize."
"He said, 'Peace is not an achievement, it is a responsibility.'"
"I have always taken him as an example and used this sentence as a benchmark for my progress..."
……
play! Keep playing!
You're not even here, what's the point of saying these things to me?
Lai Mu blinked sleepily, but when Fury looked at him, he instantly perked up and pretended to listen attentively.
I am trying not to feel sleepy while I am cooperating with you in the performance.
I don't know how much time passed, but the Nick Fury in front of me finally finished speaking.
"Oh! That's right!"
Lai Mu immediately changed the subject, not giving him a chance to continue. "I also found out that Pierce has a secret armed base in Siberia. I will take care of this base. You and your people will be responsible for controlling the aerospace carrier and capturing Pierce."
"It won't be too difficult to ask Captain America, Natasha and others to help... Tony will probably be happy to do so."
"As for those Hydra members hiding in S.H.I.E.L.D., when you take action, just shout 'Long Live Hydra' in the hall, and they will reveal their identities instantly, making it easy to find them."
"It's best for both of us to act at the same time and not give them a chance to react."
Nick Fury, who had just finished his affectionate performance, snorted with a fake smile, "If only it were as simple as you said. How could they be so stupid to be able to lurk in SHIELD for so long?"
……
Soon, Nick Fury said goodbye and left with Agent Hill.
An armed helicopter landed in the open space in front of the villa. After Nick Fury and the other man boarded the plane, the helicopter's spinning wings cut through the rain like a sharp blade and slowly rose into the air.
Outside the small cabin, there were violent storms and lightning that stretched to the end of the sky.
"Thanks for your hard work."
