Chapter 845
Chapter 845
A person who usually only obeys orders suddenly raises objections, which will inevitably make people feel uncomfortable and make them think more.As for Pierce I, the hero started his career by relying on Li Daitaojiang, so he had more things to think about.
I just wanted to deal with the protective umbrella, and I only said to control their personnel, not to kill them all.You can just jump out and say no, what is your intention? Could it be that you are a spy who infiltrates into our army under a protective umbrella?
Although Sitwell could see Pierce's displeasure now, he showed no fear and instead spoke eloquently, "The Umbrella Company has always practiced mysticism. We never know how powerful their company is and how their personnel are distributed."
"Ever since we tried to cover up Whitehall, framed the blame and broke the protective umbrella to force him to be exposed, Nick Fury has not relaxed his investigation of them for a moment, and Agent Hill has set up a task force to work hard. Although they and We are not from the same group, but their ability is obvious to all, but to this day, they have still found nothing in their pursuit of the umbrella.”
"So, unless the Umbrella Company didn't exist from the beginning, and they have been chasing a false story and trying to catch the wind, then it is only possible that the Umbrella Company is so powerful that it can hide the truth."
Pierce's eyes slanted down and he thought for a moment, then nodded involuntarily.When he single-handedly promoted Nick Fury, an outsider who was bound to become an enemy in the future, as director, he was interested in his ability. Only this person could protect Hydra from wind and rain, and only this person could hold up the facade of SHIELD. Let Hydra hide inside and thrive.
But even he was unable to do anything about the Umbrella Company, which shows the strength of the Umbrella Company.
"Although this gospel company has begun to take shape now, we only take a high look at it because we know it is from the umbrella family. Otherwise, there are so many companies like this in the United States, who would pay special attention to it?"
"So this gospel company can never be the full strength of the umbrella. It is just the tip of the iceberg. It is the small tentacle that the Kraken wants. If we take action rashly, not only to control the personnel of this company, but also to uproot it. For It's just a harmless umbrella, but it's something we can do to scare the enemy away."
"Inferior" Pierce is a sly and cunning hero. If he hadn't just thought about things that had collided with each other and made his mind so confusing that he couldn't turn around, he could have thought of these things.So what Sitwell said now was just saying what he would have thought sooner or later.But it was like a hook, firmly catching his mind, "What kind of inferiority did he fall into?"
"Sir, I would like to ask the source of this tip." Sitwell asked but deliberately stopped talking, lowered his head slightly and made a look of fear. "I overstepped. This is not what I should ask."
"It's okay." Seeing the usual panic, Pierce was relieved and raised his hand to indicate that Sitwell didn't need to worry about it. "Although this is an anonymous report, it is reported with a real name in front of us. This time It was a letter reported by an employee of the Morgan family."
"Morgan Family" Sitwell's eyes looked thoughtful, and finally clapped his hands and said, "That's right. When did these plutocratic families become so concerned about world peace?"
As we all know, chaebol families only have money in their eyes, and whether it is war or peace depends on which side makes more profits.
"What's more, the Umbrella Company is so powerful that even Nick Fury can't get a hold of them. How can a member of this chaebol family know that they have dealings with the Bloody Tongue? Although the Morgan family is deeply rooted, they also have some relatively professional commercial spies. , but those people can’t be more powerful than Maria Hill.”
That makes sense.Pierce thought that Umbrella couldn't even do anything to us, Snake and Shield. What's more, he also knew that Peggy Carter's living ancestor was also sitting in Gospel Company. If you, a commercial spy of the Morgan family, could play tricks under their noses, then S.H.I.E.L.D. It's time for the Morgan family to take charge.
"So" Pierce narrowed his eyes, and after thinking along this line of thought, he got what he thought was the most reasonable question, "Do you think this information was leaked to us intentionally by Protective Umbrella?"
However, Sitwell neither admitted nor objected to this speculation. He just said, "Whether they did it intentionally or not is not important. The key is how we respond."
"If they deliberately leaked this information, it is nothing more than to test our attitude. And the way we choose to respond will become the standard by which they judge our bottom line. And having contact with the Bloody Tongue is a big or small matter. It’s very subtle. If we really treat this matter as a big deal and mobilize troops, it will be tantamount to clearly stating that we are jealous and afraid of them. After they gain confidence, they will act more unscrupulously in the future, which is very detrimental to us."
"On the other hand, if this information is really leaked by them accidentally and we use this as an excuse to attack, it will look like we are looking for trouble, just to completely break up with the umbrella and prepare to start a fight, which is also obvious. Tell them that what they are planning has been known to us, and I am afraid they will immediately and swiftly attack us."
"Sir." Sitwell persuaded earnestly, "I know that the protective umbrella has become hostile to us, and I also know that the protective umbrella will definitely be an obstacle to us in the future, but after all, it is not the time to fight hand-to-hand."
"On the one hand, we must be on guard against the remnants of S.H.I.E.L.D., led by Nick Confrey, becoming aware of us. On the other hand, our plan has reached the most critical moment, and we must go all out for this. Now we have rashly started a war with Umbrella. We really don’t have enough resources, even if we can win, it will definitely delay our plan.”
"If something goes wrong by accident," Sitwell said in an emotional tone, showing a fearful expression, "I'm afraid I will fall short of my success."
"Yes, you are right." Pierce nodded and his eyes were clear. "The more critical the moment, the less likely you are to act impatiently. The more you must strive for stability, stability is the most important thing."
"That's right, sir." Sitwell lowered his head slightly. His flat glasses only reflected a piece of white light, making it impossible to tell what his eyes were like.
"But such a protective umbrella has also posed a problem for me." But after understanding the stakes, Pierce's worries were not relieved. "If this information is really accidentally leaked by the protective umbrella, that's great. We can pretend to be everything." I don’t know. But if they deliberately leaked it to test us and we investigate, it will make the umbrella think that we are afraid of them. But if we don’t investigate, then they may be more aggressive in the future. It is a dilemma whether to investigate or not to investigate. ah."
"Sir, the solution to this matter may lie in investigating or not investigating." Sitwell said with a curl of his lips, "We can completely declare no war."
Pierce asked curiously, "How to declare without fighting?"
"I am now an eighth-level agent, which is enough." Sitwell explained. "I personally led the team to investigate the Gospel Company, but it was strictly business and nothing else was mentioned. The so-called investigation was limited to the point and no in-depth questions were asked. "
"In this case, if the protective umbrella intends to test us, then what we do is equivalent to giving them a warning. If you ask us to investigate, we will investigate, but we don't take your matter seriously at all. We are not afraid of you. . Regardless of whether they take this warning seriously or not, they will restrain themselves to some extent and may be able to buy us some time."
"If they accidentally leaked this information, then what we do is equivalent to reminding them that there are loopholes in their intelligence system, and we have no intention of seizing this opportunity to launch an attack. This is equivalent to selling them a favor. Such a proactive show of kindness may be able to paralyze them, and it can also buy us some time."
"What we need most now is time." Sitwell said confidently. "As long as there is enough time, we can make up for our plan. Not to mention a protective umbrella, even the steel sky can be wiped out in an instant."
"Yeah, it covers everything." Pierce looked at Sitwell with an expression of appreciation.But he felt a little strange. Why did the bald man suddenly seem to be a different person today? He was not only eloquent but also thoughtful.
That's right, but Pierce realized it after thinking about it.Sitwell is an internal agent who rarely goes out in the field and is mainly responsible for administrative work.Naturally, this cannot be like an action team
Rumlow has such great military exploits, but he can't be as brilliant as John Garrett.
However, he is responsible for the specific details of the work coordination and confidentiality between SHIELD and Snake Shield, and he also handles most of the work of developing new people.This kind of work is complicated and heavy, but he has not made any mistakes. He must be a careful and careful person.
Yes, in the previous training institution of Hydra, when he was a student, Whitehall, the instructor, made similar comments to him.
But the work he did was so unknown that it was difficult to notice his contribution just like an unsung hero.If it weren't for today's conversation, I'm afraid this talent would have been buried.
"Agent Sitwell" Thinking of this, Pierce came out from behind the desk with a smile, walked around to Sitwell's side, and patted his shoulder, "Our ship will go to sea soon. You should be careful and cautious in everything you do. Then get on the boat and take charge."
"It's my honor, sir." Sitwell looked flattered and nodded hurriedly.
"Wait a minute" but just when Sitwell was about to leave, Pierce suddenly stopped him, "John Garrett and his group, how is your investigation going?"
This was why Pierce asked this question because he just remembered John Garrett and happened to collide with the umbrella matter.
Since the last time he and Nick Fury watched the video that the Ghost Agent brought back from Gospel Company, he knew that Evanson, an Avenger and Nick Fury's trusted advisor, was actually the one who protected Umbrella. What's more, What is shocking is that even veteran figures of S.H.I.E.L.D., such as Peggy Carter, have taken refuge in Umbrella.
From then on, he felt like he was suffering from a heart disease. He always felt that someone under the umbrella had infiltrated his own Snake Shield Bureau, so he secretly conducted an internal investigation.And John Garrett was listed as a key target of investigation.
As John Garrett's direct agent, he personally developed Ward Grant, who was regarded as his adopted son, and joined Coulson's special operations team after his repeated recommendation.
Not to mention the process of Colson's resurrection, Evanson participated in almost the entire process.Just say that when the special operations team was first established, Evanson Richter pushed the female hacker named Skye onto the plane.
The background of this female hacker is very mysterious. I can't even find out her specific past. I only know that she is an orphan who was changed into adoptive families one after another.So this can't help but make Pierce suspect that this girl may be a hidden stake buried by the umbrella.
According to later attention, this female hacker does have some abilities in addition to her outstanding appearance, but she is more likely to cause trouble.Not long ago, she wanted to hack into SHIELD's data system at the headquarters. To this end, she ordered others to shoot Sitwell down with a tranquilizer gun.What did she want to check when she entered SHIELD's data system? If this matter was related to the mission and could be explained clearly, why would she put Sitwell down?
And just a few days ago, John Garrett sent someone to kidnap Colson. This incident made so much noise that Pierce was unhappy.But during the operation to rescue Coulson, this female hacker, who seemed to have no experience as an agent, was actually able to seize the opportunity to defeat Victoria Hand, a senior eighth-level agent, alone after cutting off all electronic equipment. Coulson's whereabouts were found out.
Don't tell me it's because of her outstanding talent. I believe it's because she has received rigorous agent training and has a huge intelligence system supporting her.And in the final action, people from the Black Chapter actually participated.
The Black Seal Department is nominally a security team affiliated with the military, but its headquarters is located at Gospel Company.In that operation, it was the Black Seal Department that Evenson was responsible for liaison with. Could this be a coincidence? The Avengers were involved in an operation of that level and they actually needed to hire foreign aid.
And later, the agent sent by the Black Chapter was actually driven all the way by the female hacker. This is not a protective umbrella. She refused to provide official cars to her subordinates. The following agents had to take a ride to carry out the mission. Even if you kill me, I won’t believe it.
Therefore, the fact that Skye is an Umbrella agent is already a certainty.
Moreover, after the agents of the Black Chapter arrived, they actually executed all the enhanced warriors who might talk too much on the spot, leaving only one die-hard woman behind.Who is this cover for?
And at the beginning, John Garrett made a plan to let Ward, the pretty boy, seduce Skye and form a pair of CPs, so that they would be more comfortable in that group.You should be more careful. Which one of them is seducing whom?
And John Garrett's further arrangements were even more ridiculous. He actually planned to have Ward court Melinda to see if he could capture the cavalryman.
Isn’t this ridiculous? Melinda entered the industry at the age of seven and was brought in for internal training. At that time, John Garrett was still in elementary school and you actually wanted to capture her.
Moreover, Melinda was brought in by Peggy Carter. Now that Peggy Carter is a protective umbrella, can she not be the one?
So your plan goes around and around, just among the people under the umbrella.Are you fooling me? Are you fooling me? Are you fooling me?
If you tell me this, can Pierce not be suspicious?
"John Garrett is pretty good." Sitwell replied after careful consideration. "Ever since we informed him about the umbrella, he was deeply ashamed and frightened. Not only did he tell Ward to stop the original plan, but he also asked Ward to stop the original plan. He paid special attention to everything going on in that group.”
"Recently, Garrett wants to make up for his mistakes and is ready to complete the task ahead of schedule at all costs."
"At all costs," Pierce raised an eyebrow. "His plan is really trivial. It's just a smoke bomb to contain the remnants of SHIELD. Why should he do it at all costs? Does he want to expose his flaws to someone?"
"Maybe he's just too impatient." Sitwell smiled. "Just yesterday, he filed a petition to prove his innocence."
"What kind of petition is credible?" Pierce asked.
"I don't dare to say that, so I'll leave it up to you to make the decision." Sitwell shrugged and said, "He set up a trap in Spain to let the capitalist Ian Quinn under his control deliberately expose his whereabouts and attract Kelson. The team was trapped, and then the team was broken up and defeated individually, and then Ian Quinn seriously injured the female hacker under his order."
Upon hearing this, Pierce's eyes flickered several times, not knowing what he was thinking.Sitwell continued, "The girl was shot three times in the abdomen, multiple organs were injured, and her spine was broken. Her life and death hung on a thread. Even if she was cured, her lower body would still be paralyzed."
"According to him, this was to arouse Coulson's compassion and go find the female hacker who brought him back to life with medication."
"The female hacker was seriously injured by the surrender." The corners of Pierce's mouth raised slightly, and he made a twisted arc. "Why didn't she die?"
"The medicine that brought the dead back to life aroused Kelson's compassion. Wouldn't it be better to die? This is not a name for the investment, it is simply trying to hide it." Pierce raised his eyes and looked at Sitwell. "Do you think this looks like it?" It’s a cruel trick.”
"I can't say for sure, so I'd like you to make a decision." Sitwell said the same thing as before.
"Well, you are quite measured." Lies snorted coldly, "Okay, you can help me go to John Garrett's place later, just as I give him one last chance. There you go. After that, you don’t have to do anything or make any decisions, just tell me truthfully what you saw and heard, and I will make the decision.”
"After you finish that matter, it's almost time for the ship to set sail. Not all of our people will be on it, so you have to keep an eye on it."
"My subordinates will live up to their orders." Sitwell lowered his head slightly and solemnly promised.After exiting, he picked up the tie clip on his tie, put it to his lips and kissed it gently.The carving of the tie clip is a bit special, a bit like a cat with wings, but the face is empty and has no face.
