"Hello, I'm waiting for you." Schiller said to Garrett very straightforwardly: "The situation is urgent. Let me make a long story short. I am Director Pierce..."
Before Schiller finished speaking, Garrett pulled out a gun and pointed it at him.
Just when he was about to pull the trigger, a dull gunshot sounded in advance, a hole was opened in his head by the bullet, and John Garrett's body slowly fell down.
Nick walked out of the darkness, and Schiller smiled and said, "Nice shot, Director."
After saying that, he looked around Garrett's body and said: "They are quite arrogant. They actually want to kill people here. I thought they would trick me out and then do it..."
Why Nick and Schiller appeared here, and why they directly killed Garrett, we have to start with Schiller's plan.
As a time traveler who has read the original comics, Schiller certainly knows that SHIELD is basically the den of Hydra. Alexander Pierce, the former director of SHIELD, is one of the snakeheads of Hydra and one of the nine members of SHIELD.
The leader of the head snake members.
So why did Pierce completely lose contact and become completely silent? We have to start with the game between Stark and Steve.
The so-called gods fight, mortals suffer, whether it is Stark or Steve, when they go all out to do something, there is no time when they can't do it. Not only can it be done, but the effect must be hundreds of times better than ordinary people.
.
Let’s talk about the Avengers team that Steve brought together first. This Avengers team is full of talents.
In terms of strong attack, with Steve and Peter leading the front, there is no frontal defense that they can't break through with these two powerful supermen. No matter how powerful Hydra's base defense is, without Spider-Man and Red
A door that a bee cannot break open.
Is there fire coverage? It doesn’t matter. Captain America’s shield is immune to all bullet attacks. No matter how powerful the firepower is or how accurate the sniper is, just charge in with the shield and that’s it.
In terms of formulating tactics, the combination of Venom and Matt is completely sufficient. After all, in terms of the ability of a tactical executor, the simpler the tactics, the better. Basically, it is to make some noise, attract people, and then move in all the way.
Just rush.
As for the part that cannot be attacked at all, Natasha and Barton also cooperate. Black Widow is responsible for sneaking in, and Hawkeye Barton is responsible for sniping from a distance. After taking care of the parts that cannot be attacked by force, the rest is another attack.
There are few forces on earth that can stop the combination of Captain America and Spider-Man. At first, their cooperation was a bit awkward. The two often interfered with each other. For example, Spider-Man dashed forward and directly hit Captain America's shield.
The two of them flew out together. Another example was that Peter talked too much when they were fighting, and Steve felt very annoyed.
But with the increase in the number of battles, the two people cooperated more and more tacitly, and the efficiency became higher and higher. Steve had dealt with Hydra for so many years, and it was not in vain. He successively took down several locations.
In the Hydra underground base in New York, many prisoners were captured, and one of their important laboratories was found by following the clues.
The Avengers are progressing so smoothly, some people can't sit still.
Stark's goals are completely different from Steve's. His thinking is that no matter how many bases and laboratories are destroyed, the root cause of the problem cannot be solved, so he plans to start from the top.
If we talk about technical ability, no one on earth is stronger than Stark, and there is no old score in this world that he cannot clear up. However, many of Hydra's top executives made mistakes when they were young, including
Alexander Pierce.
Being able to serve as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. as Hydra for so many years, Pierce has two skills, but when he was young, his deeds were also exposed.
Pierce was able to become the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and played an important role in dealing with Hydra. However, when he was young, he was impatient and eager to protect the important members of Hydra. Therefore, during a severe crackdown, he secretly replaced two important members.
Scientists came out, and Stark caught the clue.
Of course, because the files are too old and the evidence is insufficient, Stark knows that he must seize more tangible evidence in order to get the big fish Pierce.
Just when Stark began to use his advanced methods to conduct investigations, Pierce keenly discovered that he was being watched.
Being able to lurk and become the leader of the opposing force, one can imagine how vigilant Pierce was. When he discovered that the means of monitoring him were not as advanced as the technology that should be available on earth, he knew that the person targeting him might be
Stark.
Pierce knew about the death of Howard and his wife. He had long thought that such a day would come, so he immediately silenced the entire channel.
He is not a coward. If the position is changed now and Steve and the Avengers team are targeting him, Pierce is not afraid at all. He is not afraid of any aggressive means at all. Even if he is taken to the court forcibly, he will
Able to cry out for injustice.
But Stark is different. In addition to being a scientist, he is also the leader of an industrial giant. If Stark wants revenge, there is no need to capture Pierce. There are too many things that a capitalist can control. Even now Pierce
Even though he is a director of the World Security Council, he cannot withstand the offensive of the Stark Group.
Therefore, he took the action that snakes are best at, which is to hibernate.
And Pierce dared to be so decisive and completely silent, it was also because he had a back-up in SHIELD.
When John Garrett received Grant's call, although on the surface he just asked Grant to protect him very calmly, in fact, he was a little confused inside.
Because he is Pierce's backup to stay in SHIELD.
Pierce told Garrett that as long as he turned on all-channel silence, Garrett would automatically become the leader of all Hydras in S.H.I.E.L.D.
As a result, now, a person suddenly pops up, saying that he is the silent agent left behind by Pierce.
Level 8 agent Garrett is the same level as Coulson. He is the head of the emergency response team and has been working in SHIELD for many years. Although not as long as Pierce, his qualifications are among the best in SHIELD.
Yes, the same is true in Hydra.
When Garrett heard Schiller calling himself a silent agent, his first reaction was not to question the authenticity of this matter, but "Pierce, this old fox, really doesn't trust me!"
As Pierce's subordinate, Garrett knew him very well. The Three Cunning Rabbits are synonymous with Pierce, and his scheming is a reflection of his behavior.
Garrett thought that Pierce must be afraid that he would take over the work of SHIELD after he went silent. When he came back, it would be difficult to control himself.
Garrett believed that Pierce must have heard the news in advance, and then hurriedly called in an airborne psychiatrist to act as another silent agent to check and balance himself and prevent him from drawing in SHIELD's power and ousting him.
For an evil organization like Hydra, it is difficult to ask them to unite. Infighting is Hydra's eternal theme. They consume more power in infighting than in doing business.
Garrett is very familiar with this, so he will never give up this great opportunity to rise to the top. If he can master all the Hydra agents in S.H.I.E.L.D., then he can become one of the snakeheads and completely replace Pierce.
Therefore, Garrett's first reaction was to kill Schiller.
He is not afraid of killing people in S.H.I.E.L.D., because this is their base camp. Not only the agents, but also the cleaners, transporters, and drivers are all their people. There is no better place to do it than here.
Unexpectedly, the mantis stalked the cicada, with the oriole behind it. Because he knew the habits of Hydra, Schiller planned to use this trick to test whether there was any back-up force left by Pierce among the SHIELD agents. The result made him very disappointed.
satisfy.
This kind of back-and-forth prediction may sound a bit complicated, but it is actually a very common move. Just like in Werewolf, the werewolf in position 1 stands up and shouts "I am a prophet!"
A relatively stupid true prophet may jump out and say: "No! I am the prophet!" when he speaks later.
Then the next night I was stabbed by a werewolf.
Schiller yelled in S.H.I.E.L.D. "I am the silent agent left behind by Director Pierce!"
So, if Pierce really leaves behind a back-up in S.H.I.E.L.D., the real guy will definitely want to kill Schiller in Hydra, which has no unity at all.
Nick raised the gun and looked at Garrett's body. He said, "I had expected Pierce, but I didn't expect that Garrett would be on the same team as him. I thought the two of them were in a competitive relationship.
"
"The two of them work together, but they are also in a competitive relationship. Garrett definitely wants to replace Pierce. After all, Pierce has left SHIELD for a long time, but he still controls everything here. Garrett, as the oldest person here,
Hydra must have wanted to take over for a long time."
After saying that, Schiller walked to the door and said as he walked: "I hope I will see a tidy office tomorrow morning, thank you."
The next day, in the neat psychological consultation room, Schiller said to Grant with a heavy face: "Now, I think you understand the seriousness of the matter."
"Pierce is missing, and Garrett is under confidential investigation overnight. It is unlikely that either of them will survive. Next, we will experience a severe test. Are you ready?"
Grant still had a straight face and asked, "Did you kill Garrett?"
Schiller turned the pen around twice in his hand, showed a smile, and said, "You are very smart, but unfortunately, Garrett is not as smart as you."
"He thought that after operating here for a long time, he would be able to attack me unscrupulously. But since Pierce dared to let me parachute here, wouldn't he have expected this?"
After Schiller said these words, Grant relaxed a little, because this was really in line with Hydra's dog-eat-dog style. At least it ruled out the possibility that Schiller was a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. Those agents would definitely deny this.
Clean yourself up.
"Listen, I'm not kidding you. Next, I will take over all the work of SHIELD. If you have any dissatisfaction, just leave it to the Guards."
At this time, Grant finally spoke: "What are you going to do next?"
"I will launch a comprehensive security plan. All important personnel will appear on the security list. If something goes wrong, I will transfer them immediately."
"Where is the stronghold?" Grant asked.
"Do you know about Arkham Sanatorium? It's my property, and it's also a secret stronghold of Hydra in New York. Only Pierce and I know about this stronghold. Even the top leaders in other areas don't know about it. It's only in emergencies."
It can only be enabled under certain circumstances.”
"Has the situation become this urgent?" Grant narrowed his eyes and asked, "Weren't there been many cleanings before?"
"Are you really a level 7 agent?" Schiller looked into Grant's eyes and asked, "Has any previous purge ever implicated someone of Director Pierce's level?"
Grant was silent, and Schiller held the pen in his hand and said: "Obviously, a new era is coming. Human beings think that they are about to move into the universe, so they plan to stabilize the interior first. This time the purge will be unprecedentedly harsh.
, but it doesn’t matter, I have always been a member of the correctional faction.”
"Since that great war, Hydra has lost its glory. The most important reason is that a group of useless corpses have joined us."
"In this crisis, I will decide on the preservation list based on your performance. If anyone is just dawdling with wages, then he will wait for the so-called justice to be judged on his head..."
Grant squinted his eyes hard after leaving the psychological consultation room. He felt a lot of pressure. It was obvious that this new leader of SHIELD was the most difficult fanatic to deal with.
Grant was in a very complicated mood now, but he still pretended to be nonchalant and returned to the area where his team was active. As soon as he returned, Coulson came up to him and said to him: "You went to psychotherapy? Oh my god.
!I have been so busy recently that I have neglected you. I have to apologize to you..."
"No, I'm fine." Grant still shook his head rigidly, and Coulson didn't take it to heart. He knew that Grant had this temper.
When Grant returned to the room, he leaned against the door and raised his head. He murmured to himself in a low voice: "Security plan..."
