"Hey, dear, I'm on my way to Washington now and have to leave New York for a while." Cao Gui smiled into the phone.
"Washington? You disappeared as soon as I got up..." Gwen complained, very unhappy.
"Ah, this... SHIELD thing..."
"Why are there so many garbage pipes?" Gwen asked dissatisfied.
"...the matter of Hydra." Cao Gui had no choice but to tell the truth.
Gwen: "...Do you need my help?"
"No need for the moment." Cao Gui said with a smile.
"Okay..." Gwen grumbled and hung up the phone.
In the car, Sitwell's mouth twitched slightly. The dialogue between Hydra and SHIELD was so intense.
"You actually told Gwen everything?" Sitwell was a little surprised.
"Eh? Didn't I tell you?" Cao Gui said in surprise: "She is the masked person wearing armor during the Battle of New York."
"Understood..." Sitwell was silent for a while. He was also a super strong man, the kind who could easily challenge half of the Avengers alone.
"How are you doing with the preparations?" Cao Gui brought the topic to the Insight Project.
"It's ready. Agent Hill and Steve already know about the Insight Plan." Sitwell said, what they have to do is simple, take Pierce out of the equation.
Sitwell does not want to lose his current power, which is the result of his struggle for most of his life, but he also does not want to carry out the Insight Project, which is completely impossible to achieve.
Therefore, the best way is to maintain the status quo, and in doing so... Cao Gui and Sitwell will not only face Pierce, but also Captain America and the others.
"It's troublesome..." Cao Gui sighed.
"Everyone on the mothership is my people. Even if they are not, I have made them one of my own."
Sitwell raised his chin. The driver's face was normal while driving, and his eyes were natural, but compared with a normal person, he was still less alert.
Using nanorobot technology taken from the Arctic base, they were turned into the most loyal Neobasilicon.
…
S.H.I.E.L.D., Trident Headquarters.
"Insight Project Bay." Sitwell led Cao Gui into the elevator.
Cao Gui looked at the transparent elevator curiously. This place... is a perfect place to say Long Live Hydra!
"Access is prohibited. Level 3 agent Cao Gui does not have permission to enter the Insight Project." The artificial intelligence immediately prompted.
The two of them took the elevator all the way down, entered the underground hangar, and then came to a large underground construction dock.
"Captain Steve Rogers and eighth-level agent Maria Hill have entered the Insight Project bay under the leadership of Director Pierce." The artificial intelligence reminded for the second time.
Cao Gui and Sitwell looked at each other, everything was going according to plan.
"Just in time, Sit."
Ahead, three people stopped and turned around to wait for the two of them.
Looking at Sitwell and Cao Gui walking towards them, Pierce smiled and said, "I'm introducing the Insight Plan to Agent Hill and Captain Steve, and you guys are here. Let's listen together."
Of course, when the boss was in front of him, it was definitely not Pierce's words, and the matter fell on Sitwell. But as Sitwell began to introduce, the expressions of Steve and Agent Hill changed instantly.
"Bad people can only be punished if they do bad things!" Steve said solemnly: "Let these three motherships rise into the sky and point so many guns at people all over the world. Do you call this protection?"
"Sir, regarding this plan... I think it is necessary to hold an internal SHIELD meeting." Agent Hill said in a deep voice:
"This plan cannot simply be decided by the Security Council. It involves too many areas."
"Here, I solemnly hope that this plan can be postponed to give those of us enough time to prepare."
"I agree with Agent Maria Hill's proposal!" Steve said solemnly: "This matter is too big, we cannot make a decision easily!"
The gloom flashed across Pierce's eyes, he adjusted his breathing slightly, and said with a smile: "This plan was decided by the Security Council. If you want to postpone it... I'm afraid it will be difficult."
"I will do it in my own way!" Steve said immediately without giving in at all.
"Director, the captain is right. This plan is a bit extreme. I hope you can consider it carefully." Hill immediately stood up for Rogers. She also disagreed with the plan.
Pierce's face suddenly turned ugly. What he hated most was this kind of soldier, who made no sense at all, especially when he had someone to support him.
"Ahem... Captain, don't worry." Sitwell quickly smoothed things over: "Director Pierce didn't say not to postpone it, he just said it was a bit troublesome. I think he will consider it carefully."
Steve didn't speak, but looked at Pierce with burning eyes. If he didn't give an explanation today, he might not leave.
"...You are right, it is indeed a bit inappropriate." Pierce took a deep breath, nodded and said: "I will immediately raise an objection to the Security Council and postpone the implementation of the Insight Plan."
"Thank you, Director Pierce." Steve said with a smile on his face: "I will be in Washington during this time. If you need any help, please feel free to contact me."
Pierce's smile remained unchanged, Steve's words were obviously a threat.
Agent Hill's eyes flickered. Unlike Steve, she couldn't stay in Washington and had to go back to New York, where she could use her best abilities.
"Okay, the tour is over, let's start working." Pierce smiled and led everyone away from here.
"I'll leave the rest to Director Pierce." Steve nodded and smiled.
"That's the responsibility." Pierce didn't take it seriously: "Speaking of which...how does the captain know about the Insight Project? The captain doesn't seem to have the authority to know this."
"Agent Hill told me." Steve raised his hand and pointed.
Agent Hill looked confused: "I saw it in the database, I have permission."
Pierce's smile froze slightly. He did not grant Hill this authority, nor did he let anyone grant Hill this authority... Could it be Nick Fury?
Although he disappeared, he may not have left behind anything.
Pierce nodded, turned and returned to his office. Sitwell had told Pierce in advance about Cao's return, but now he had no intention of caring about this talented boy.
"Site, you can make your own arrangements for this half day. I have something to deal with." Pierce said with a solemn expression.
"I will return to the mothership immediately!" Sitwell said solemnly: "If there is a crisis, I can't watch the commander get into trouble."
Pierce's expression softened slightly and he nodded: "In that case, let's go back first."
…
On the streets of Washington, Agent Hill drove his car through the streets.
"Activate encrypted communication and connect to secure line 1123." Agent Hill said in a deep voice. Coulson's profile picture appeared on the cell phone in the center console.
"Colson, I have something to ask you. Come to New York and find me."
At this time, a Washington, D.C. police car parked beside her, and the two police officers in the car looked at Agent Hill curiously.
"Do I need to check my ID?" Agent Hill said unhappily.
The two policemen simply looked at her and then slowly left.
On the rooftop of a building, Cao Gui sat on the edge, holding a gray eyeball in his hand, looking down at everything below. Agent Hill was a very good beauty, but it was a pity that he stayed with Nick Fury for too long.
