Chapter 1,700 Interception(1/2)
In fact, the authority of all space-based weapons and satellites has been withdrawn by the government from SHIELD... After all, a federal agency possesses powerful force that the Federation does not have... It is too much. By the way, Alexander Pierce and Nick...
What Fury pursues most tirelessly is to make S.H.I.E.L.D. an organization on par with the U.S. government. Just look at its composition and you will know that it is directly responsible to the Security Council!
To a certain extent, its specifications are equivalent to those of the US government. The US government did not object to this at the beginning. After all, SHIELD's sphere of influence has expanded to their allies, which has only benefits and no disadvantages for the US government.
, so when SHIELD was initially established as an international organization, the U.S. government strongly supported it.
After all, the United States was the well-deserved world hegemon at that time. Even during the struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union, they were the undoubted father of the West! It seemed that the control of SHIELD was divided, but in fact it was still dominated by the Americans.
However, everything changed after the nuclear bomb flew to New York.
Because from that time on, the U.S. government realized that it had been tricked. Of the five seats on the Security Council, the United States occupies one and China occupies one. But China has never been very interested in S.H.I.E.L.D., and S.H.I.E.L.D. also has a problem with China.
Fear, both sides have no desire to communicate and cooperate, so China's seat is purely for fooling around. Except for attending important decisions, he basically does not express any opinions on SHIELD.
After all, the reason why S.H.I.E.L.D. admitted that representatives from China had control over them was actually because it was planning to enter China to develop its forces. As a result, China did not care about S.H.I.E.L.D. at all. After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. was just using its name.
That fishing has no intention of giving China any substantial power.
In the entire Security Council, the United States, Britain, France, Russia and China have five seats. Britain and France have always been the die-hard younger brothers of the United States. Russia is worse than China. After all, China is strong and economically developed. Even if they want to exclude them, they have to weigh it. It will only make China sick and disgusted by petty tactics.
, but Lao Maozi is miserable, that is really naked hatred!
But the United States never expected that when aliens invaded, his two younger brothers decisively stabbed the United States in the back. Britain and France agreed on the final solution, which was to bomb the country with nuclear bombs and sacrifice New York for the safety of the entire world!
The representative of the United States at the time had been assassinated and did not attend the meeting at all. Pierce, who temporarily attended the meeting, only received special authorization and could not actually represent the United States. Therefore, although he voted against the vote at that time, he did not
Change something.
China voted against it as always... It's not that China wants to wear the same pants as the United States, but it's because he can't stand the faces of these people. What's more, he knows that even if he votes against it, it won't change the outcome. Of course, he will still do things in his usual style.
.
Just express your attitude.
As for Russia...you know.
So the final solution was passed three to two.
Although this matter was successfully resolved, the sequelae were very serious. This made the United States realize that S.H.I.E.L.D. was getting out of their control. The strategy that once seemed very good was depriving the United States of control of S.H.I.E.L.D. in disguise.
And SHIELD... they really launched a nuclear strike... Damn it, is there anything else that can't be said clearly? SHIELD doesn't consider itself a subordinate agency of the United States at all!
This is why Benjamin hates SHIELD so much!
My dog wants to eat his owner!
Since then, the United States has begun to divide SHIELD's power and suppress its influence.
Closer to home, after Nick Fury and Pierce tricked S.H.I.E.L.D., many of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s assets were accepted by the U.S. government, including space-based weapon satellites. But who is Nick Fury?
A patient with severe paranoia, he extremely distrusts the U.S. government and feels that people in the U.S. government are stupid pigs.
Naturally, he cannot let go of a big killer weapon like a space-based weapon satellite. It is safest to have him personally control it.
So a long time ago, he set up backdoors in these satellites, which allowed him to seize control by force.
However, once this backdoor is used, it will be discovered immediately and then repaired. This is absolutely certain. After all... others are not fools.
So it can only be used once... This makes Nick Fury feel bad. He spent so much money back then, only to have it taken away by those stupid pigs from the US government... But it's worth it! As long as this is the case
After that, he will be able to return to his rightful place, everything will return, and the world will become safer!
…
Just when Nick Fury was looking forward to the future.
The White House went crazy.
Benjamin stood up without any manners, threw his suit aside, and roared loudly: "Is this still our country? Why did we launch an attack with our own weapons, but we didn't know anything about it?! What do you do for food?
?!!"
In fact, the White House knew that they were under attack earlier than the base or even the radar station, much earlier! After all, space-based weapons and satellites have always been in the hands of the government. Once control is lost, it will be known immediately.
But even so, people on the government side still failed to prevent the launch of space-based weapons.
And this thing...it's not easy to intercept!
A group of people were so scolded by the president that they couldn't even raise their heads. Originally, things were moving in a good direction. The president had seen the government's ability to act, and everyone's sense of existence was greatly improved.
President Benjamin's approval rate is very high... It's amazing. A lot has happened in the United States in recent years. It can be said to be the most troubled country in the world. It can't even maintain its international hegemony, but in this way, the entire society still maintains
Stability has been achieved, and the economy has miraculously achieved gratifying growth.
These are undoubtedly due to President Benjamin.
In fact, many people know that the world is changing, although it is a bit unprepared. But people cannot fight against the general trend, people can only adapt to the world. Benjamin did a very good job. Even if there are many disasters, Benjamin still controls the country.
, let it drive on the right road.
This is already very rare.
Many knowledgeable people have greatly praised Benjamin's administration. Although many people are dissatisfied with the current situation in the United States, they also know that if Benjamin is replaced, the next president may not necessarily do a better job than Benjamin.
If someone is replaced by someone who is not smart enough and does random things for the sake of approval ratings, the United States will have a lot of fun.
After all, according to the tradition of American politicians, when they see a contradiction, the first time they see it is not to solve the contradiction, but to create a bigger contradiction to cover up the previous contradiction.
If you feel that your support rate is not high, then stir up trouble and set up a target for people to attack.
The most typical one is to attack superheroes and mutants. If that doesn't work, move the conflict abroad and start a war.
This vertical division of society is a traditional skill of American politicians.
But this is dividing American society. In the past, the United States was the best in the world, so it was no problem to do this, after all, it could withstand it. But if it continues to do this, it will divide the entire society, and it will consume the United States' own strength!
So even people who don't like Benjamin know that Benjamin is the biggest common denominator now. Even if everyone doesn't like it, they won't strongly oppose it. Instead, it will allow the United States to move forward smoothly. Otherwise... given the current national situation, once something happens
Without changes, the United States will only become more passive.
Back to business.
Since Benjamin has been confirmed to be re-elected, and will be re-elected for multiple terms, most agency heads are happy to show their faces in front of Benjamin.
They did well in the early stage, but now... they all wish that Benjamin couldn't see them.
"Speak! Weren't you very good at speaking just now? Why don't you speak now!"
Benjamin used to be a very gentle person. Regardless of his political affiliation and distinction between left and right, his personality charm is still very good. The staff around him all know that he is a very talkative person, gentle and polite, and good at listening.
But since becoming president, Benjamin feels like he is going to become manic.
I even thought about retiring altogether.
After all, this president is really not easy to be elected.
Since he became president, the White House has been breached twice, and he almost died both times, but he survived. Then came the Battle of Los Angeles and the Battle of New York, which were extremely thrilling. He also survived, and then met Atlantis.
The massive human invasion destroyed the navies of all countries, but Benjamin survived and later represented all mankind in the peace talks with the Atlanteans. It was considered a huge diplomatic success and the results were very good.
It can be regarded as Benjamin's most proud political achievement.
Then the world was so harsh on him, and then Hydra made trouble... The United States almost became the laughing stock of the whole world, and even the people began to wonder whether the government was really doing something, or whether it was just a group of people doing nothing at public expense every day.
Eat and drink.
Damn it, SHIELD has been infiltrated by Hydra, what are you doing?!
Benjamin survived!
But immediately, the MUTOs attacked, and the two MUTOs brought huge disaster to the United States. Most of San Francisco was destroyed, and Hawaii suffered heavy damage! The last fleet of the United States also completely disappeared.
This is not over yet, the reconstruction work of San Francisco is still in progress, and the next step is the Titan War...
Benjamin wanted to die.
This is not even counting all the big and small things that happened in the middle.
Benjamin was already feeling physically and mentally exhausted. A few days ago, the First Lady said that his health was much worse... Benjamin felt that if he continued like this, his wife would cheat... and she was also his best political ally——
Kai!
Too bad!
There are still people here who want to find something for him to do...
"You guys talk!!!"
The most important thing at this time is actually not to give the president the truth, but to give him a channel to vent, otherwise everyone will be in trouble.
"Mr. President! I think I know who's behind this."
Carter stood up and said without hesitation.
A group of people looked at Carter and felt like they were seeing a god, a brave man.
After all, the president is already dizzy with anger. Don't think that Ms. Carter's prestige can protect her from harsh criticism.
"who?"
"Our old rival - Nick Fury!"
In fact, Carter has no evidence...but is it time for evidence now? Anyway, Nick Fury's reputation is already very bad, and he doesn't care about more dirty information.
To be continued...
