Chapter 284: Deep Sea Visitors Asking for a Monthly Pass) 4500 words
Just as the call ended here, the detector released by the exploration fleet reacted!
"The A-9, A-17, G-1, G-13, and D-12 detectors have responded! An unknown object is approaching us rapidly from our 11 o'clock direction!"
"They are very fast, only 1.3 kilometers away from us!"
"There is also movement from detectors in other directions!"
"Oh my God! We are surrounded, and something is approaching us from the bottom of the sea!"
By the time the white officer returned to the control room, the entire control room was in a mess! From the feedback of the detection signal, it could be seen that there were at least hundreds of targets on the seabed around them surrounding them!
This kind of detector is specially used to search for large objects traveling on the seabed, so it is impossible for ordinary seafloor creatures to send back such a strong response. For the detector to feed back such a clear signal, at least a submarine is needed.
Size matters.
But the problem is that there is no country or force around this sea area that can mobilize so many submarines to attack them!
What is the concept of hundreds of submarines? In today's world, the United States only has 73 submarines!
This is not reasonable at all! Recalling the information they obtained from the military before, the people in the control room quickly got a relatively reasonable answer.
These are the sea monsters that once appeared on the Yago!!!
One sea monster silenced the world's largest cruise ship, but what about hundreds of them?
Although these exploration ships are all warships, they don't think that their torpedoes and rockets can cause much damage to those deep-sea monsters!
"Retreat immediately! Everyone retreat immediately! By the way, ask for help from the bureau! Immediately!"
The white officer reacted immediately. He now knew why the previous batches of investigation teams had no survivors or dead bodies! Moreover, the white officer was originally the second and fifth officer of S.H.I.E.L.D., and now he encountered something that he could not handle.
If he doesn't run away, does he really want to be loyal to SHIELD?
He is just a kid, there is no need to be so serious!
Unfortunately, it can be seen from the fact that he still doesn't have his own name, he is just a sidekick.
Now that he has been given so many shots, he is already treated very favorably.
He is destined to finish!
Just when the captain was about to take a plane and escape, countless large whirlpools suddenly appeared on the distant sea, and these whirlpools surrounded the entire survey fleet.
Then countless strange-shaped underwater aircraft emerged from the vortex. Those things looked obviously metal and very technological, but there were countless translucent tentacles around these underwater aircraft, and those tentacles were irregular.
It dances like an octopus living on the bottom of the sea.
Buzz buzz buzz.
With the appearance of those underwater aircraft, a buzzing sound came from those underwater aircraft, and then all the electronic equipment on the probe fleet began to have various failures, and finally all were scrapped, even the communications equipment with professional protection
The machine also started to malfunction.
The entire fleet finally lost contact with SHIELD headquarters.
The bitch officer originally planned to report what he saw to his superiors through his special communicator. But his communicator also failed.
"God...what the hell have we encountered?"
Among those underwater aircraft, figures covered with exoskeleton mechas jumped into the sea from the underwater aircraft and quickly approached the exploration fleet.
…
About an hour later, a handsome and tall young man wearing handsome silver scales and holding a silver trident stood to explore the concave shape of the fleet's flagship ship.
Soon a dark red mecha warrior came to the man in silver armor.
"Gulu Gulu... Ka Gulu, Mo Gulu."
Hmm...their conversation is really difficult to understand, just like the sound made by a person who was drowned and choked. Through the transparent mask of the red mecha warrior, I can really see that the mecha is full of emotions.
water.
"Have we lost so much?" After listening to the report of his subordinates, the man in silver armor looked extremely gloomy. But unexpectedly, the man in silver armor spoke English... Although in the settings of many American dramas and movies, the whole world
, No, the whole universe speaks English, but that is fiction. In the real world, except for real English-speaking countries, who speaks English every day? Take Kai’s previous life, English is a required course, but after college, there are a few people
He really speaks English.
And this man, who is obviously of a foreign race, actually speaks fluent English... There must be a story in this.
But it won’t be expanded for now.
"Drag all human weapons and ships to the bottom of the sea. I need to crack their technology as soon as possible! Only in this way can we have an absolute advantage when the day of final judgment comes!" the man in silver armor said fiercely!
"Gulu gulu..." There was another unexplained choking sound.
"Don't underestimate humans. Our Kraken was killed by humans. This shows that they have the strength to fight against us. We must be careful!"
It turns out that the sea monster that attacked the Yago cruise ship was created by these Haitians. Although I don’t know why these guys released this sea monster, it doesn’t seem to be to establish a good bilateral relationship with humans.
.
…
The news that SHIELD had once again lost an exploration fleet was finally confirmed by SHIELD three days later.
Calculating from the beginning to now, SHIELD has lost more than thirty ships of all levels in this mysterious sea, hundreds of agents and several times this number of auxiliary personnel. This is since World War II
, S.H.I.E.L.D.’s biggest loss.
For this matter, the World Security Council has conducted more than five hearings on Nick Fury, the current director of S.H.I.E.L.D., had it not been for Nick Fury’s old boss, the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Alexander Pierce, who had strongly defended Nick.
· Fury. And repeatedly emphasized that it is because of the huge losses that SHIELD should find out what happened there.
Only then did Nick Fury finally get through.
"Huh... Nick, although I can convince the council not to pursue the loss this time, I must say that the investigation into the sea monster must stop."
After the last hearing, Alexander Pierce immediately took off his mask and no longer supported Nick as firmly as he did at the hearing. Nick Fury was not surprised by this at all. Alexander Pierce's position
Of course you need to favor him.
Because Alexander Pierce is the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and it was he who pushed Nick to the position. The reason why he has such a big say in the board of directors is because Nick is his person, and he does not need to go through the board of directors.
Give direct orders to S.H.I.E.L.D.
So from a political perspective, Alexander Pierce must support Nick Fury.
Of course, it's useless even if Alexander Pierce doesn't support it. Although nominally the World Security Council is the superior unit of SHIELD and has jurisdiction over SHIELD, in fact it can be seen from the history of SHIELD's development.
Well, S.H.I.E.L.D. itself is very independent.
Many funding sources since its establishment by others are not from the council. They have their own complete funding sources, and they also have their own institutions for personnel recruitment and training.
If S.H.I.E.L.D. cannot be blocked in terms of personnel or financial resources, how can the Security Council really control S.H.I.E.L.D.?
In a sense, Nick Fury is indeed Alexander Pierce's best successor, even better than him. He completely controlled the situation and made SHIELD more aloof. Let's put it this way, on the surface, the Security Council
Only Alexander Pierce can command S.H.I.E.L.D. without Nick Fury.
Of course this is all superficial.
Under the surface, without Nick Fury's nod, Alexander Pierce couldn't really command S.H.I.E.L.D.
And beneath this, there is a deeper truth hidden. If Alexander Pierce nods, Nick Fury may be able to command only half of SHIELD, or even less. But this truth is not even known to Nick Fury.
Know.
But anyway, at this stage, Nick Fury doesn't actually care about the Security Council.
But Alexander Pierce is also Nick Fury’s old boss. Nick Fury doesn’t trust anyone, and the same goes for Alexander Pierce, but everything must be viewed dialectically, and Nick Fury is suspicious of everything.
Attitude, but the level is different.
If I had to choose a ranking of the people Nick Fury trusts most, Alexander Pierce would definitely be at the top. After all, Alexander Pierce has never done anything sorry to him. No matter how suspicious he is, he cannot doubt Alexander Pierce out of thin air.
.
"I know... we will not launch any more investigations in the near future... but I still want to say that there must be very important secrets hidden there, even secrets that may affect the entire world!"
Nick Fury is an agent, not an iron-headed boy. He has already sent it several times, and if he sends it again, it will be really stupid. So he also wants to take it slow and wait until he is fully prepared before going to see it.
Agents have this kind of virtue, they have a strong voyeurism, and they want to know all the secrets in the world. Nick Fury is known as the king of agents, and he has a strong desire for any secret. He knows very well that if he masters those secrets, he will
It means taking charge of everything!
Agents are not soldiers. They do not believe in head-to-head combat. They prefer to use information and intelligence to defeat their opponents.
"That's good...that's good."
Alexander Pierce breathed a sigh of relief. At this stage, the interests of Alexander Pierce and Nick Fury are consistent. It can even be said that the stronger SHIELD is, the happier Alexander Pierce will be. He doesn’t really care about Nick Fury.
Ray goes to strengthen S.H.I.E.L.D. Anyway, no matter what benefits Nick Fury gets, they will have a piece of the pie.
It can even be said that at this stage, even if the whole world wants Nick Fury to die, he, Alexander Pierce, will forcefully renew Nick Fury's life.
After that, Alexander Pierce left Nick Fury's office with great satisfaction. When Alexander Pierce left, Nick Fury immediately took out an old Nokia mobile phone with all kinds of strange technology gadgets on it.
It's hard to imagine that the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. actually uses such an old-fashioned mobile phone.
"Hey...it's me. I need you to get in touch with a person. Well, I will send you the information. No, there is no need to use means against him. I just want to find out one thing, no no, this matter
...It's very important, I'm not sure how much he knows. So it needs to be kept secret. Well, you go to Minnesota immediately."
"You said your current mission? That Russian? You don't need to worry about that. I will take care of it. This is indeed a very important mission. I think you can definitely find out what I want. Hmm
, Hawkeye will take over, and the relevant people will be identified. You will disappear for a while first."
Nick Fury said into the phone with a nonchalant expression.
"Good luck, Black Widow..."
Nick hung up the phone silently and stared at the sky outside the window with one eye. No one knew what he was thinking.
…
The massacre of the Westin family made the residents of Jiade Town really nervous for a while. Even during this period, residents made a lot more complaints to the police station. After all, it has been a month since such a serious case, and it was so little
There was no progress. Even worse, due to the negligence of the police station, a body was burned.
This has greatly undermined residents' trust in the police department.
People are always so simple. If you can protect the people, the people will naturally support you. But if you cannot fulfill your duties, then they will naturally distrust you.
But fortunately, most of the police officers in the police station are still new. Everyone knows that they have just taken up their posts and they still need to learn to adapt to some things. So they are willing to give a little trust. But the premise is that the Jiade Town Police Station must show real and tangible results.
action comes out.
So in order to stabilize people's hearts and reassure residents, during this period, the police in the police station were almost exhausted. For a month in a row, except for the necessary left-behind personnel, everyone else needed to take turns patrolling in the town. Anyway, there was only one
The purpose is that anyone in the town can find the police for help as soon as possible.
A group of new police officers simply love and hate the chief's decision!
Yes. Of course, in order to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, the police department has increased the salary of all police officers. The salary of rural police officers in the United States is generally not high, with a maximum of 30,000 US dollars a year. Of course, there are exceptions, and that is where the police station is rich.
.
There are three ways to fund police departments in the United States: one is allocation from local governments, the second is private donations, and the third is fines and stolen money.
The funds allocated by the government do not have a great impact on police salaries. Each locality will make adjustments according to the economic situation. The real impact on the income of police stations and police officers is the latter two reasons.
But the economy in Jiade Town is not very good. There are few rich people and few rich people, so naturally no one donates money. And due to its remote location and low crime rate, fines and stolen money are even pitiful. This is why
An important reason why the police in the town at that time colluded with the gangs.
They are poor.
Now Kai has directly adjusted his salary. Each police officer will receive a monthly subsidy of approximately US$500 to US$1,000 based on performance.
This is no small amount of money.
With money, those newcomers are naturally willing to work hard.
Perhaps because of this, the atmosphere in the police station is quite good, and everyone is willing to do things. It is not the off-duty time, and Kai cannot leave the police station. He needs to stay in the police station to interrogate some criminal suspects.
There is no way. Most of the people in the police station are new recruits. Many of them have not passed the formal examination. Strictly speaking, they can only be regarded as auxiliary police. Yes, there are auxiliary police in the United States. Generally speaking, auxiliary police are only
Responsible for basic social security, the auxiliary police are not allowed to take action in some major criminal cases.
Interrogation of prisoners is not allowed, but interrogation can be assisted.
Although Kai is the boss of the local police station, there are more than thirty people in a police station including clerks, and it is impossible for Kai to put them all on duty immediately.
Originally, according to the laws here in the United States, becoming a police officer was a very difficult thing. It required one year of training, and then a written test and various skill tests. It was very cumbersome. Kai could only do more and guide them.
"What's going on?" Kai had just mediated a case with two newcomers about a fight between two neighbors because their dog defecated on the lawn. He walked to the next interrogation room without stopping. He picked up the case from a police officer.
Brief description.
"Susie Cabell, female, 17 years old, high school student. At nine o'clock this evening, she stole from the supermarket and was discovered by the clerk. She also injured the clerk."
