Now SHIELD needs someone to step up and take charge of the overall situation.
But there are very few people with this qualification.
S.H.I.E.L.D. has always been like this. It is a center and does not engage in any other things. Because agents know best that doing things like this will only slow down efficiency. Therefore, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. has always been very powerful.
, you can even designate an heir.
Alexander and Nick Fury are both in this position. It is also the reason why the Security Council has not been able to control SHIELD for so many years, because SHIELD has its own effective power system within it!
Nick Fury was supposed to be the director like Alexander for at least ten or twenty years, and then hand over the position to the next person.
But now that Nick Fury is dead, no one knows who the next director will be...
As a result, almost all the senior officials who were qualified to take over as director began to feel uneasy. After all, the emperor did not appoint a prince, so all princes would have a chance!
But this confusion quickly disappears after a person appears!
Alexander Pierce.
When Alexander appeared in the special passage in the hall, almost everyone looked at him immediately!
Alexander is not a stranger to S.H.I.E.L.D., after all, it has not been many years since he left the position of director, not to mention that he has been in the bureau for a long time, so almost everyone knows him. Generally speaking, he appears in S.H.I.E.L.D.
Bureau, there wasn’t that much movement.
But today is different.
When Alexander walked out of the building, almost everyone stood at attention and greeted him politely. Pierce nodded politely as usual.
In this regard, he is better than Nick Fury,
Because he has been in office for so many years, everyone has a very high opinion of him. Unlike Nick Fury, a typical dictator who never smiles all year round.
More importantly, Alexander has the prestige, power, and strength to choose who will succeed the director! At the same time, he is also the best candidate to appease people's hearts! His appearance instantly stabilized the impetuous SHIELD.
No matter how careful you are, you will choose to hibernate at this time.
'Alexander' enjoyed this scene extremely. Once upon a time, he had always dreamed of being able to reach the top of S.H.I.E.L.D. and gain the admiration and awe of everyone. Unfortunately, that bastard Alexander Pierce did not choose Hydra to succeed him, but chose
Nick Fury!
This makes the current 'Alexander' very unhappy.
In fact, not only him, but many of his 'friends' expressed disbelief in Alexander's original choice.
After all... Although Nick Fury has done a good job, how can he be used by his own people?
Of course, none of this matters now.
From the moment they decided to pretend to be Alexander, Alexander was effectively abandoned.
Alexander is now available in Washington!
The fake guy imitated Alexander's gesture and accepted the baptism respectfully from everyone.
The inner vanity has been satisfied like never before.
He saw the complicated looks in those people's eyes, but he was too lazy to think about it now. Whether the Insight Plan is successful or not has nothing to do with these little miscellaneous fish. The remaining four directors of the World Security Council who are about to arrive are the focus. If
Letting them detect anomalies may have an unknown impact on the insight plan.
That's why they need to pretend to be Alexander.
The only way is to control these guys. Then even if the five directors have a temporary vote to take over all affairs of SHIELD in an emergency, it will be useless. Only "Alexander Pierce" is left to give orders, and they will be able to control it in a short time.
All things S.H.I.E.L.D.
Anyway, except for these four directors, if anyone else wants to interfere with SHIELD's operations, it requires complicated procedures. It will take at least a few hours, or even more than ten hours of wrangling. Silently calculating, he finally waited until a group of people walked in from the passage.
He walked forward with a smile.
The visitors, three men and one woman, were the other four directors of the World Security Council. They came together and exchanged a few simple greetings.
'Alexander' asked the security guard next to him to bring four silver brooches: "Biometric identification is used here. The four of you must wear this before you can move around freely."
The four directors didn't pay much attention, and each took one and clamped it on their chests. These four brooches are the highest-level temporary passes, which can be entered and exited in all parts of the headquarters under normal circumstances. In the headquarters of various countries, tens of thousands of people enter and exit every day, which is impossible.
People are tested one by one, and all areas can only be monitored 24 hours a day with biometric detection. For people who come temporarily to do business, it is too troublesome to register for biometrics, so there are various temporary passes. People who do not have permission and do not have temporary passes,
If discovered by any monitoring system, an alarm will be triggered.
Of course, the four directors are not actually subject to this restriction.
‘Alexander’ had his own reasons for giving them these things!
Next came the top-secret meeting, with the entourage of the four directors staying in the lobby rest area. The five Alexanders got into the elevator and went straight to the dedicated floor of the World Security Council—Pierce's personal office area.
Entering Alexander's office, there is a spacious living room with a desk and four virtual projection seats opposite.
Usually, the four directors communicate with the Director of SHIELD through the projection seats. Even if things need to be explained clearly in person, it is Minister Alexander who communicates with the Director of SHIELD. Today is a rare occasion for them to come in person.
Because just yesterday, they agreed to conduct adaptability testing of the Insight Plan and came here specifically to inspect it. Then they decided whether to launch the plan or not.
Just as Pierce was talking to the four directors, thick black smoke suddenly floated out of a corner in the underground parking lot of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Then Kai, Steve, Natasha and Tony Stark walked out.
Others were assigned to Washington to work with the Secret Service and military special forces to protect the city.
It is still unknown how many people in Washington are worthy of trust.
Especially the police, they are no longer trustworthy!
They can't forget Nick Fury's fake death escape, no matter why the police attacked Nick Fury!
None of them are worthy of trust!
It is obviously impossible to mobilize the army now. It will take time for the army to enter the army!
And who can be sure that Nick Fury did not plant spies in the military?
Now the White House is in disarray.
The only ones they can rely on now are superheroes.
In the past, it would have been absolutely impossible for the government to make such a decision. But after too many times, both the government and the people have become accustomed to it. At first, everyone would scold the government for its inaction. In the previous crises, the government was not scolded.
Is it tragic? But who still criticizes the government now? On the contrary, as long as the government responds appropriately, it will immediately receive rave reviews!
Since everyone's expectations have been lowered, they will naturally not be as harsh as before.
