Chapter 746 Change of plan
Ever since the defense of Paradise Town and the emergence of the Earth Defense Front, the military has felt a sense of crisis.
When SHIELD disobeyed orders and used nuclear bombs, the one who was most concerned was not the President of the United States, but the military.
Every year, the military battles Congress for budget.
Ultimately, it is driven by interests.
Behind those generals, there are also countless military-industrial enterprises supporting them.
The military is already dissatisfied with the fact that SHIELD takes away so much of the budget every year.
The use of nuclear bombs that time gave the military a good excuse.
As a result, various interest groups united together and abruptly disbanded the Snake Shield Agency.
The recovered weapons and equipment naturally belonged to the military.
There is no plan to report these things to Congress.
It's all money, all in and all out.
Reselling arms at the grassroots level is a crime.
When high-level officials resell arms, that is called international aid.
The kickbacks went into the pockets of the generals and Commissioner Smith.
The emergence of the Earth Defense Front has resulted in the generals' financial backers being unable to sell their weapons.
How can arms dealers make money if they can’t start a war?
The Earth Defense Front relies on its powerful military force to forcibly end wars between countries in the world.
However, the Earth Defense Front does not care about regional conflicts, fights against terrorism, and civil wars in various countries.
This also gives them a chance.
The Hydra cannot be killed, otherwise it will be the last straw.
Steve and others were just doing small things.
Lilith can only rely on the Internet to provide information to Steve's team.
But on the American side, the military and the CIA have an intelligence network built with real people and money.
This is something Lilith can't compare to.
The vast majority of intelligence is not transmitted over the Internet.
Lilith is not omnipotent. Some codes and secret phrases cannot be cracked in a short period of time.
If more energy and computing power are spent, the information will already be out of date.
Yes, intelligence is also time-sensitive.
If you don’t deal with it right away, you won’t gain anything by taking action later.
No matter how powerful Lilith is, she is not powerful enough to monitor all network data in the world.
Therefore, the US military has the confidence to just chase Hydra without killing it.
And Nick Fury's Avenger is the catfish they put into the pond.
Used to mix water.
After hanging up the phone with Catherine, Luke decided to change his future plans.
Get your friends, family and relatives off the earth.
This is difficult to do and cannot be achieved overnight.
Luke has a lot of power in his hands, but it is still not enough to form a complete society.
The earth still has a special position in the universe.
Although I don't know the specific information, there is a reason why Kamar-Taj has protected the earth for so many years.
Therefore, if we want to reshuffle, we can only tear it down and rebuild it.
Only by destroying and then rebuilding can the earth move towards unification.
Even with the Earth Defense Line, a channel for exploring the universe, people on Earth are still unwilling to go out.
There is even constant infighting.
This made Luke feel a little helpless.
If I force it, I can achieve unity, but I will become the target of public criticism.
Allowing those old families to enter the universe, they dare to sell out their own civilization for the sake of profit.
Luke absolutely believed it.
Since ancient times, there have been many businessmen who sold out their country for profit.
But on Earth, even when dynasties change, they can still be businessmen.
But in the universe, it's not the same.
Those who betray their own civilization will only be destroyed or enslaved.
In the eyes of other civilizations, the merchants here have no benefits for them.
Nor would they believe that a conquered civilization would serve them wholeheartedly.
Our ancestors have long said that those who are not of our race must have different hearts.
The same principle applies in the universe.
Even though Luke made so much money on Xandar, he did not buy technology from other civilizations in the universe.
That was not Earth's own technology, and Luke didn't trust them.
All his skills were taught by his master.
The technology in the golden apple, after analysis and verification by Lilith, is completely suitable for the resources and environment of the solar system.
The previous technology trees are all branches of the technology trees that have been developed on Earth.
It’s just that the technology inside is several eras ahead of the technology on Earth.
Luke always had a sense of urgency.
The threat posed by the Purple Sweet Potato Spirit does not come from the Infinity Gems, but from the Celestials behind it.
He wiped out half of the population of every civilization around the world, didn't the Gods know?
If you knew that, why didn't you stop him?
After all, the entire universe is still under the control of the gods.
There must be a conspiracy behind them allowing the purple potato spirit to kill people indiscriminately in the universe.
Whatever their intentions, that is the fact.
The last time Luke encountered the Celestials, it was Master Bo Wukong who dealt with them.
But what about next time?
I'm not afraid of the purple potato spirit Luke. At worst he's just a single cosmic-level powerhouse.
His current strength is not at all weak.
I’m afraid that the people from the God Group will come again.
It takes time for Luke to mobilize people.
Faced with the power of the Celestials, Luke really has no confidence that he can save the Earth.
Luke thought about this for a long time.
Nick Fury's side doesn't matter anymore.
After much thought, Luke opened the portal and went to the space base.
"Lilith, help me contact Andy."
"Okay, boss."
Andy's team of immortals, along with Sophia and Natasha, returned to the universe after staying on the Earth Defense Front for a while.
Continue to be their space mercenary.
This was also Luke's intentional arrangement.
In the universe, the most well-informed people are mercenaries and raiders.
They have the quickest idea of the direction of the cosmic winds.
They know best where there are wars and major events.
It is impossible to obtain timely intelligence by relying solely on the business groups on Xandar.
Soon, Andy got the call connected.
Luke and Andy briefly chatted about the current situation in the universe and got a lot of useful information.
What Luke didn't expect was that their recent actions were actually indirectly related to the White Snake sisters on Heaven Star.
Andy is now employed by Xandar.
Now returning to the base on Xandar.
Because they caught a wanted gang member, Peter Quill.
Peter Quill is wanted after escaping from a prison on Xandar.
Many mercenaries also accepted the mission, but only Andy finally caught Peter Quill.
In the meantime, many stories happened between the two teams.
We won’t go into details here, but the two teams joined forces to eliminate Peter’s biological father, the will of the planet, Ego.
Andy and the others had no choice at the time.
Because Ego has planted seeds on many planets.
Ego wants to use these seeds to strengthen his own power.
The big boss that the White Snake sisters met at the beginning was Ego.
He also planted seeds on the Heaven Star, but unexpectedly, they were absorbed by the White Snake sisters as nutrients.
When the White Snake sisters absorbed the power of the seeds, they also indirectly helped Andy and the others.
At that time, they were fighting with Ego on Ego's home planet.
At the critical moment, the White Snake sisters absorbed a large amount of Ego's power, which led to Ego being killed by Andy and Peter.
As a result, the two sisters ate their fill without suffering any backlash.
Although Ego was destroyed, Andy still escorted Peter back to Xandar.
Missions are missions, and favors are favors.
Helping Peter Quill is purely for the purpose of protecting other planets in the universe and preventing them from being swallowed by Ego.
After hanging up the phone, Luke returned to Earth and went to Paradise Town to find Lilith who had been with Hela.
"Lilith, let's go to Xandar."
“I want to go too.” Hela spoke without waiting for Lilith to reply.
