Tony Stark looked at Colonel Rhodes lying on the hospital bed with a frown. The attack on Langley Air Force Base was not a big secret to him, and his relationship with the military was not as bad as the outside world imagined.
.
After experiencing the last Extremis virus incident, Stark improved Colonel Rhodes' war machine armor to enhance its heat resistance and impact resistance. Colonel Rhodes was very lucky to escape and became Lan.
The one with the least injuries at the Lee Air Force Base.
As for the fate of others, Tony Stark did not want to recall. He had seen photos of the scene, and it was a bloody scene he had never experienced before - severed limbs and internal organs were splashed in a pool of black blood, and even Star
People like Ke who have experienced the war in the Middle East can't help but vomit.
But until now, joint investigators from the officially dispatched intelligence agencies do not know who the attackers are. Various evidence shows that the weapons used by the attackers are not large-caliber firearms that ordinary people can use, and the attackers also prefer close combat. Many soldiers
They were all killed with a long sword after being approached by the enemy.
Investigators also found a large number of giant reptile scratches and sulfur compounds at the site of the attack, leading some investigators to make a bold guess that a dragon attacked here. Others couldn't even deny this hypothesis, after all.
Anything can happen in this world now. And the only survivor, Colonel Rhodes, couldn't explain the situation clearly. It seemed that he had forgotten what happened after suffering a concussion.
Doctors don't know when his memory will be restored.
If you want to speak to professionals, it is never possible. This is not a small spell that can be cast casually. An enchantment spell scroll that modifies memory is incredibly expensive, and the effect is worthy of the price. Plus the entire base
Internal surveillance has been deleted, and intelligence agencies believe that the attackers targeted Langley Air Force Base, which is responsible for the security of the White House, in order to obtain patrol intelligence on the airspace near the White House and use nuclear bombs to bomb the White House.
This is a very, very serious security vulnerability!
The FBI took the opportunity to attack the U.S. Air Combat Command and demanded more funding.
The CIA claimed that this was an espionage operation carried out by foreign forces against the United States and was covered up by a terrorist attack, and they also demanded more funds.
The Department of Homeland Security is responsible for the wasteful funding of the FBI and CIA, and also requires that SHIELD's funding for the next quarter be reduced and added to the Department of Homeland Security, because SHIELD has proven the organization's inability to prevent international terrorist attacks.
The Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence asked the Treasury Department to increase its salary and take away the functions of the FBI and add them to its own department. Even the Department of Defense jumped out and asked for an increase in the military budget, and the investigation scene immediately turned into a financial debate.
Big debate.
This little trick is easy to see through. After a series of wrangling, the White House teamed up with many intelligence agencies responsible for domestic security to conduct a joint investigation, preventing any one intelligence agency from controlling all investigation steps, and the White House can also control all investigators and case details.
.
At the same time, the White House also made a request to SHIELD, requiring SHIELD to provide intelligence, equipment and personnel to help investigate this incident, because this incident may involve supernatural creatures.
Therefore, Agent Victoria Hand led a team of technicians to participate in this incident on behalf of SHIELD, in order not to give the White House an excuse to reduce SHIELD's funding. This was a political arrangement arranged by Director Fury
mission, but personally, Agent Victoria Hand also took this incident very seriously. She even wondered why SHIELD was so abnormally indifferent to this incident. However, Nick Fury had already locked his target.
It's just that he didn't tell anyone.
The loss of a nuclear warhead would almost immediately declare a state of emergency in the United States, at least that's what Agent Victoria Hand requested. However, her request was denied for a simple reason - the White House refused to publicize the incident, even allowing Tony Smith to
Ideas for private individuals like Tucker to participate were rejected.
The United States has shown its incompetence in the face of aliens. If it shows nervousness because of a terrorist snatching nuclear warheads, then the president will be called a softie by the people. Even the idiots in the Democratic Party who pursue political correctness know that in this situation
The government must show toughness under the circumstances, otherwise it will not be able to win re-election in the next election.
The public does not need to know about the missing nuclear warhead. It is enough for politicians and capitalists to know. Politics is the only thing they, the beasts in the White House zoo, need to care about.

"Take it." Salomon put the takeaway black tea he just bought into the hand of the woman opposite. The insulated cardboard reduced the speed of the hot liquid being transferred to his fingers. "Only sugar is added." He turned around.
Standing next to this woman, he slowly took a sip of his tea and said, "Excuse me, I don't like milk, and I don't know what you like to drink."
"I forgive you." The woman wore a hood and made a slightly hoarse voice.
She stood next to an old masonry building that is common near the Bodleian Library. The shadow cast by the re-glazed small overpass completely enveloped her. Only the naughty orange-red short hair that jumped out of the hood brought her to
A little lively. The orange light on the street corner slowly climbed up to the corners of her clothes, and the ancient buildings full of rain traces exuded the smell of aging and tranquility in the gloomy dusk. After she opened her mouth, the tacit understanding between acquaintances was like
The corners of her mouth rose so quickly, and the air was as warm as the black tea in her hand.
"I've known your taste for a long time." She said happily, "I also like black tea without milk."
"I'm glad you like it. Your investigative skills are pretty good and you were able to find me in Bodleian."
Salomon looked at Natasha Romanoff's face. She raised her head and looked at him with a smile, looking directly into his eyes without fear. "Why did you come to me?" the mystic asked casually.
, as if he was a law-abiding citizen, "Isn't it because I have killed a few Oxfordshire vampires recently? I think the laws of the human world do not protect vampires, nor do they protect female humans who fall in love with vampires -
- I'm really surprised that there are more and more stupid literary works of this kind recently. I should really throw the vampires into the homes of those writers and let them face those humanoid ticks."
"There are vampires in Oxford County?" Agent Romanoff looked surprised, "I really don't know about this."
"So?" Salomon raised his cup to hide the expression on his face, "There's nothing surprising about this. This is my daily job. Pest removal, yes, pest control for the earth."
"I'm not here because of this, sweet little boy." She said, "I'm going on a mission, so I came to say goodbye to you."
"What does this have to do with me?" The Mystic Mage blinked, "Is this mission so dangerous that you might die?"
"It's possible in every mission. I'm used to it because I'm an agent." Agent Romanov curled his lips, "And you're not going to listen to what I'm going to say next? You're really too cold, Salo.
Mongolian."
The arcanist apologized sincerely.
"I want to tell you that someone attacked an air force base in the United States and a nuclear warhead was stolen." Agent Romanov carefully observed the muscle expressions on Salomon's face, trying to find any abnormalities. "Now all intelligence agencies are very
Nervous, all the secrets have been unearthed, and Director Fury may no longer be able to keep your identity secret."
"Really?" Salomon narrowed his eyes, as if he wanted to pierce Agent Romanov's true thoughts hidden deep in his heart, "Is this true? Also, is it legal for you to have private contact with me?
I remember there was a basic code of confidentiality that agents had to follow."
"It's true, and you're a special person who needs special treatment."
Even mind reading cannot work on her, because she has deceived her own mental fragments first, and even people who know her a little bit cannot detect her true mental activities. SHIELD has already deduced that Salo
Meng's mind-reading principle, Agent Romanoff only dared to talk to him after knowing this, without having to worry about his secrets being discovered.
She said nonchalantly, "You can use your magic to see if I'm lying. I won't lie to you, Salomon, and you haven't trusted me until now."
"I apologize again." Salomon withdrew his gaze, "You can tell me this kind of thing just by calling me. Is there anything else?"
"This is my private matter... I want to ask about your past promises." Agent Romanoff took a deep breath, "Can you get me pregnant?"
