Chapter 1432 The Countess’s Dinner (Second Update)
No matter how Agent Coulson solves the internal conflicts, SHIELD's tool only needs to remain adequate. After they complete the one-month training, they will return to Earth to continue their past missions, while Agent Coulson
It is also necessary to appease the new S.H.I.E.L.D. director appointed by the U.S. Congress and help Latvinia block some key information about the space station from Congress or the CIA. Although Agent Coulson explained that he is not a spy, nor will he help the Emperor perform tasks such as stealing
Tasks such as the CIA's Eastern European agent list, but in addition to directly participating in the intelligence secret wars of various countries, there are some things he has to do.
Pale explanations cannot stop the development of the situation, just like countless excuses and rejections before.
Congress wants S.H.I.E.L.D. to return only to obtain the vibranium storage device filled with secrets, and to obtain the assets left behind by S.H.I.E.L.D., only the Emperor wants nothing but requires SHIELD to be loyal to its duties. S.H.I.E.L.D.
Their duty is to exclude all dangers from human society, and this is the only requirement the Emperor has for them. If SHIELD fails to fulfill its duties, it will become a complete negative asset, and the Emperor will no longer provide them with any shelter.
When Agent Coulson asked what kind of asylum the Emperor had provided, he unsurprisingly received no answer. It was clearly beyond his intelligence clearance. He was then kicked out of the office without mercy, as usual.
He left with a few answers and more questions. The danger was quietly approaching. The Emperor, who had foreseen the dangerous steps, was busy setting up traps, arranging tracking, and luring ambush. There was no time to waste on SHIELD. Agent Coulson could only
Try to use the pitifully meager information to soothe the minds of your companions, try to persuade, unite, and encourage them to continue along the established path.
The emperor promised him that Enoch would be waiting for them at the lighthouse base, and he would get more information through the android. But the soldiers arranged at the lighthouse base would not evacuate, neither the First Secret Regiment nor the Ranger Cavalry.
, all bear the burden of monitoring S.H.I.E.L.D. and ensuring their safety. If Agent Coulson refuses to hand over Nick Fury’s black box full of secrets, then the U.S. government will never let go of the current S.H.I.E.L.D. remnants.
Deploying enough armed personnel is the only way to protect their lives.
Coulson understood that he and his companions were part of countless plans, but his brain could not understand too sophisticated a plan or a future that was too far away. This feeling of being unable to fully understand the situation made Agent Coulson feel disgusted, as if
The oily smoke accumulated in the lungs was nauseating. He thought of Nick Fury's similar tendency to keep secrets. When everyone was stumbling forward in the dark, only one person could see the overall situation - but the consequences would be disastrous.
It has been proven that this model is unreliable, and even Nick Fury cannot avoid deception and short-sightedness. He is worried, but he has to show a posture of control when facing his companions, just like the role he has always played: a
A reliable agent, a kind mentor, a loving father, and a wise leader.
The S.H.I.E.L.D. team only occupied one page and three minutes on the Emperor's office today. Compared with working in the Royal City of Latvinia, the advantage of the Tianjian Space Station office is that it can avoid the complicated crowds and various activities.
officials, avoiding meaningless petitions, negotiations, and threats, leaving the troublesome matters of communicating with people to Victor von Doom, while reducing his own sense of presence and military deterrence, weakening the unified war zone in the Balkans
The fear that came, gave the regent the opportunity to use time, education and policies to re-divide the cake and heal the inner wounds of the civilians.
The emperor wanted to know when the regent's originally violent temper would break out, but until now Victor von Doom has continued to be patient, constantly explaining and negotiating with people who are far less intelligent than himself, and balancing the country in the Balkans.
In order to stabilize those officials who had no choice but to surrender, the emperor had to completely control them, so he had a large number of spies and agents under his command.
"Countess Katarina Karkov." The aristocratic woman with long dark green hair pulled up into a bun, wearing an evening gown and a black fur lowered her head to show respect to the emperor. Compared to what Agent Coulson saw
What she saw was not much different. The decoration and furnishings in the room had not changed, but she was much closer to the emperor. "I'm glad you can come. Without you, I wouldn't know what to do."
what to do."
"Ms. Tita did a great job. I just helped a little. After all, those reporters and scientists are not difficult characters to deal with." The countess smiled with a smile on her face and said something that could not be heard as a compliment or a disparagement. "
What's more, Natasha Romanoff has done most of the screening and I just have to talk to them for a few words. Also, regarding Lara Croft...my girls have already gotten the message."
The emperor glanced at her.
"I hope there can be a new owner behind those newspapers. Even Rupert Murdoch only has one life, doesn't he?"
Long before the war, Countess Katarina Karkov had used her own black market arms trade to reach into the upper class of the West with large sums of money and boys and girls.
She ate a lot during her time, and even cooperated with the CIA several times. She originally thought that the intelligence network she had supported would be dismantled with the house arrest, but she did not expect that the intelligence network would still be maintained when she was reactivated.
There is even a tendency to gradually expand, which allows her to start working immediately after gaining power.
Countess Katarina Karkov originally thought that the red-haired woman named Lorelai had taken over her intelligence network, but then she learned that Lorelai was actually an Asgardian, not an Earthling.
She had been performing secret missions for the emperor for a long time. Later, she thought it was Natasha Romanoff, the black widow who is famous for her beauty. However, later she learned that the black widow had already transformed into a superhero, and was with
Say goodbye to the spy industry completely. As for who helped her maintain those relationships, she has an answer in her heart, but some things must be buried forever. She is smart enough to know what should not be mentioned, just like the book that records her
It’s the same account book that high-level European and American officials who made transactions are now missing.
However, the information she was allowed to know was not much. For example, she did not know the emperor's secular identity at all, she did not know that the remnants of SHIELD were being trained here, and she did not know that the Maximov siblings were also here. Okay.
She said that the emperor's control over her was very strict, but she did not feel dissatisfied with it.
"I am very grateful to you for inviting me to dinner, Your Majesty." Countess Katarina Karkov lowered her head again, "Tonight's menu was decided upon by me and Ms. Tita through discussion. I hope you will like my selection."
of wine. I bought a small French winery in the past and found a lot of wine in stock inside the walls. I would like to share these treasures with you."
Countess Katarina Karkov turned to look at the golden armored guards behind her.
Hammurabi nodded slightly.
The Praetorian Order had tested the batch of wines and found that none of them contained toxic substances. Therefore, when the unlabeled dark glass bottles were brought over, in addition to the thin ash remaining at the bottom of the bottle, there was also a Praetorian Order label.
