Chapter 65 Thor is coming! Captain America wakes up! A collection of Iron Man villains! Ah~~~)
Pierce was the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. before Nick Fury.
But almost everyone doesn’t know that.
In fact, Pierce's true identity is a Hydra agent.
And the reason why he personally handed over the position of Director of SHIELD to Nick Fury, who was not a member of Hydra, instead of giving it to another Hydra person.
Except to reduce the possibility of being discovered.
Another reason is the relationship between Nick Fury and Captain Marvel.
He wants to win Captain Marvel into Hydra's camp.
Although in the end this plan failed.
But it doesn't hurt.
Pierce believes that Nick Fury can't make any waves in SHIELD.
Because SHIELD has long become Hydra's backyard.
Even if he could lift it up, he could easily get rid of Nick Fury.
But to Pierce's expectation, Nick Fury took the initiative to abdicate due to the emergence of Ding Zheng.
Now the new director of SHIELD has naturally become a member of Hydra.
There is no direct relationship with him, and he can still do some big things in the US government.
Even if the new SHIELD director is discovered, he will not be involved.
No, as Pierce receives more and more attention in the US government.
He was directly appointed by President Kern as the person in charge of this cooperation with the Mandarin terrorist organization.
Pierce has great power in this matter.
So, when he saw Ivan Vanko and the whiplock armor on his body.
The first reaction was to put his hand on the gun at his waist, wanting to shoot directly and send the US government officials following him to hell.
Pierce knows enough about the U.S. government to know that the giant mechas in the United States now need Tony Stark's reactor as power.
With this thing, the United States can create larger mechas.
Military strength will be increased several times again.
Although the problem of pilots of large mechas has not been solved yet.
But Pierce doesn't think it's an insurmountable problem.
After all, the United States does have super soldiers.
He knew that the military was currently thinking of ways to combine mecha technology with the Abomination Corps.
In short, as long as the top scientific team is not damaged, the growth of U.S. military power will become inevitable.
As an agent of Hydra, he naturally wants to prevent all of this from happening.
But he didn't do it after all.
The first reason is naturally that there is more than one member of the US government following him.
He couldn't kill everyone in a short time.
Secondly, he thought that the current purpose of Hydra was not directly related to the strength of the US military.
The Insight Project is being prepared intensively. Once it is officially implemented, no one will be able to stop Hydra from ruling the world.
By then, even if the United States has powerful mechas, under the cover of the Insight Project, these mechas will only be used if they say they can be used.
The only ones who need to worry are Ding Zheng and the Titans hidden all over the world.
But none of the giant beasts could wake up.
There is no actual conflict between Hydra and Ding Zheng. Instead, they can reach cooperation, such as killing Kern in order to win the friendship between Ding Zheng and Isla Nublar.
Therefore, there is no need for him to risk his troops and risk being exposed now to prevent the progress of the American mecha that has not yet succeeded.
So, Pierce slowly lowered his hands from his waist.
Killian and whiplock Ivan Vanke on the opposite side also breathed a sigh of relief.
"I thought we didn't even talk about cooperation, and we would start fighting as soon as we met." Killian shook his head and said with a smile.
Whip Lock Ivan Vanke did not speak and directly retracted the two activated light whips.
Pierce smiled: "I just didn't expect to see a new friend today, and it seems to have something to do with Tony Stark, so..."
"I hope you take back what you said. Tony Stark and I have nothing to do with each other!" Whiplock said, pointing at Pierce.
Pierce was interrupted, but he was not angry. He looked at Killian and smiled: "Aren't you going to introduce this new friend?"
Killian spread his hands, and his movements looked slightly similar to Tony Stark: "Just like me, this person is also the victim of Tony Stark, but to be precise, it should be
He is Howard Stark's slave, and the father's debt must be paid by the son."
"I wonder if Mr. Pierce has ever heard of a man named Anton Vanke..."
After Killian explained, Pierce finally figured out the identity of the whiplock.
Then, he nodded immediately: "No wonder we specially made a mecha and brought it over before we came over. It seems that Mr. Ivan Vanke is going to use it."
Ivan Vanke nodded without denying it.
He really needs mechas from the US military.
Although he created the whiplock suit himself, there is still a huge gap in terms of attack power and methods compared to Tony Stark's armor.
But the US military's mechas can make up for this weakness.
Pierce looked at the reactor on Ivan Vanke's chest and asked directly: "Mr. Ivan Vanke, I wonder if you have ever thought about sharing the reactor technology with us. You can definitely get huge benefits from it!"
Ivan Vanke made no move and just said lightly: "As long as you can help me defeat, of course, it would be best to kill Tony Stark and let people know the hypocrisy of their father and son. Only then will I be willing to hand over this thing.
come out."
"While Tony Stark is still alive, there is no need to discuss anything." He emphasized.
"Of course, we work together to deal with Tony Stark and the gorilla." Pierce said.
Killian shook his head: "Our main target is Tony Stark. If that gorilla doesn't have a direct conflict with us, it's best not to provoke him."
"I agree too." Ivan Vanke also nodded.
There was no fool among the people present. Everyone knew that Ding Zheng was difficult to deal with.
If it is not necessary, of course it is better not to match it.
Killian and the others only knew that Tony Stark was tracking down the Extremis virus. Because Natasha was not exposed, they did not know that Ding Zheng was the source of everything. They naively thought that Ding Zheng would not conflict with them.
Pierce was a little helpless. The task given to him by Kern was to let these people directly conflict with Ding Zheng and attract Ding Zheng's attention.
But he is not stupid, so there is nothing he can do.
Fortunately, Tony Stark is also one of the mission targets and has a close relationship with Ding Zheng, so he can be considered a passer.
"In this case, let's have a happy cooperation. We will provide funds and weapons, and you will continue to study the Extremis virus. However, Tony Stark must be given, and it is best to put a certain amount of pressure on Isla Nublar."
Pierce said: "Of course, if we can kill Tony Stark, then we must give what we promised with both hands."
"Don't worry!" Killian said, "If we let Tony Stark's man go, he will definitely find a way to find this place. The difference is that sooner or later, as long as we have enough weapons to deploy, we will definitely be able to
He will stay here forever."
Happy came back alive, except for Natasha's secret help.
Another reason is that Killian wants to do this.
He will take this opportunity to use the power of the United States to set up a "Hongmen Banquet" to kill Iron Man Tony Stark in one fell swoop.
After all, Tony Stark has begun to pay attention and tracked them down. This is a very dangerous signal.
In fact, Killian had already started human experiments on the Extremis virus and created several subordinates with good fusion effects, but the success rate was not high.
With their current strength alone, they may not be able to withstand Tony Stark's attack.
Fortunately, Maya Hansen's research on the Extremis virus has reached a critical point.
As long as there is a little more time, it will be more stable in the human body.
By then, Kilian and his men will also possess the top power in the world.
He is confident that when the time comes, he will not even look down on Ding Zheng.
The United States is just a tool for his use.
Although he knows that the United States will definitely have thoughts after the Extremis virus is exposed.
But in comparison, Tony Stark is more dangerous.
After all, he has a grudge against Tony Stark, and the United States can completely communicate in the form of business and cooperation.
In addition to using Killian to attract the attention of Tony Stark and Ding Zheng, the United States also has plans for the Extremis virus, but it has not yet thought of any good way to obtain it.
It can be said that both sides have their own motives.
But now they have a common enemy, Iron Man.
As for the whip lock, he has the simplest purpose.
He doesn't want to dominate the world and doesn't have any particularly deep plans.
He just wanted to defeat Tony Stark and avenge his father, and was approached by Killian because he owned the reactor.
To Killian, all Tony Stark's enemies are friends.
Especially now that Tony Stark is following Ding Zheng.
He also needs to unite all forces.
"In that case, let's sign the agreement now. We have brought what you want. I hope you can use this opportunity to prevent Tony Stark from wearing that armor and misbehaving."
Pierce smiled and said: "It's a pleasure to work with you."
"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Killian also extended his hand.
Once the agreement was signed, Pierce left immediately.
Ivan Vanko immediately ran to the mecha brought by Pierce and began to study the combination of the mecha and the reactor.
The United States has long wanted to get Tony Stark's reactor, so it naturally has a special place for the reactor in the design of the new mecha.
I just didn't expect that Tony Stark directly refused to cooperate.
Fortunately, today, this mecha met Ivan Vanko.
He put the reactor up without much effort.
Suddenly, the mecha, which was more than ten meters high, was full of power, and Ivan Vanke got directly into it and started to experience it.
Killian also hurriedly arranged for his men to deploy weapons.
"As soon as everything is arranged, I will leave directly. Then I just have to wait for Tony Stark to surrender himself." Killian thought.
He doesn't want to stay here and fight for his life, after all, he hasn't been injected with the Extremis virus yet.
"Tony Stark... I wonder if you will regret rejecting me before you die..." Killian thought.
But at this moment, suddenly, his phone rang. When he answered it, the panicked voice of his subordinate came: "Iron Man is here!"
The words just fell.
"Look what I saw? A bunch of scum eager to go to hell and enjoy life."
At this moment, a voice full of ridicule and anger suddenly sounded.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, a large hole was blasted out of the abandoned steel factory where several people were located. Tony Stark was wearing a thick new gorilla armor that was almost five meters tall.
Slowly descended.
Anxious looks suddenly appeared on the faces of Killian and Ivan Vanke.
How could Tony Stark have arrived so quickly?
Logically speaking, the fat man should not have passed the danger period yet!
…
After Pierce quickly left Afghanistan by flight, he immediately called President Kern.
And truthfully report the news about Ivan Vanke and his creation of the reactor.
At the same time, Pierce's men also received news that Tony Stark had attacked the Killian organization.
He also hurriedly conveyed it to Kern.
Kern's reaction was stronger than Pierce expected.
"You return now! We must save Ivan Vanko!"
"But I am no match for Tony Stark's armor, and I don't know if the orangutan is coming." Pierce did not agree, although he was not afraid of death.
But it is impossible to die for the United States.
"You just need to stall for time, and I will ask the Abomination Corps to come over and help!" Kern said.
"Mr. President, is this too exaggerated?" Pierce was a little shocked.
Isn't funding Killian just to allow them to delay the United States?
Why did you suddenly create such a large-scale campaign to help people from these terrorist organizations?
"No, this is an excellent opportunity. If we can kill Tony Stark, it will be a big gain. Even if we can't kill him, as long as we protect that Ivan Vanko, we won't need to be attacked by Tony Stark again.
With Tucker's restraint, we can build our own steel armored army!" Kern said.
Since there is no way to trick Tony Stark to death as originally planned.
Then seize this opportunity.
Bet Ding Zheng didn't come with Tony Stark.
Although Pierce didn't want to agree, he didn't dare to refuse directly, so he hung up the phone after agreeing.
Let his men return and plan how to fish in troubled waters and try to ensure their own safety.
…
Just when the situation in Kilian, Afghanistan suddenly became complicated and tense.
New Mexico, USA.
A strange hammer that came from nowhere and that no one could lift triggered a wave of onlookers and attempts from the surrounding people.
The news also gradually began to ferment.
at the same time.
Norway.
SHIELD made a major discovery at the location where the Cosmic Cube was discovered during World War II.
An American hero who has been sleeping in the ice for nearly seventy years.
