Eight hundred and sixtieth eight chapters starry (thirteen)
"Asgard?? You just said, Asgard's fleet...how did they appear in the solar system??How could...do they want to..."
General Ross stuttered a little at the end and felt a cold sweat break out on his back, but soon, a major came in, saluted the generals, and then said:
"Sir, we just received a call from the Holy of Holies. They said that Asgard is patrolling the nine kingdoms, and Atrium Earth, as a member of the nine kingdoms, needs to cooperate..."
"Asgard's battleship discovered that the health situation in the solar system is not optimistic, and urges us to make rectifications as soon as possible. There should not be too many space equipment in space, and transportation devices and spaceships must be parked neatly..."
"In addition, in order to prevent too many space traffic accidents in the solar system, their frigates are helping us clean up space debris."
"Also, this kind of cleaning service is chargeable. The United Nations has published the bill for the cleaning service, and other countries have accepted it. Our president is about to sign..."
"Can't sign!!!" The old general immediately shouted: "Why do they... they... we can't... they can't! The president can't sign!!"
Seeing that he was already a little incoherent, Ross immediately walked up and said: "Where is Mr. President? Stop him immediately, we can't accept this bill..."
The major was a little embarrassed. He said: "This bill is actually quite cheap. Congress passed it without even a second round of approval."
"Furthermore, the Holy One said that Thor, the new god-king of Asgard, intends to build a new crown, hoping to collect special metals from the nine kingdoms to symbolize the unity of the nine kingdoms."
"Mr. President believes that this may stimulate the price of vibranium. After all, vibranium is our specialty metal."
"The United States is the country with the highest stock of vibranium in the world besides Wakanda. The price of vibranium has fallen too much, and the losses to us have been too great. If it can rise a little bit, we can recover the losses. For this reason, Congress wants to fight
Good relationship with Asgard..."
"Moreover, the United Nations says that space debris is a long-term problem that needs to be solved during the explosion of human technology. Although it is possible to solve it with our own technology, the cost is too high. They are planning to sign a long-term cleaning service agreement with Asgard...
…”
"Mr. General!!! Mr. General!! Wake up!!! Doctor!!! Doctor!!!" Ross immediately rushed over to help the old general who rolled his eyes and fell down. All the generals were in a mess.
, supporting the old general who had fainted, feeling at a loss.
That afternoon, the sky over New York was still so blue. Sitting in the car returning to the city from the hospital, Ross felt for the first time the impermanence of life, and this was just the beginning.
Although the first two launches failed, the ones launched were simplified versions of the master model cores, so the losses were not that great. Everyone could only place their hopes on the third launch.
The third launch was delayed for two weeks, and everyone made another calculation, trying to eliminate all accidents as much as possible and striving for a first-time success, but it could only be a one-time success.
On the day of the launch, almost all officers from the Tartu faction came to the launch center. The moment the rocket took off, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
During the flight, there was no collision with space debris. After successfully reaching the target location, there was no sudden appearance of laser weapons. The base deployed very smoothly, and cheers resounded throughout the entire launch center.
Then, they saw a small dot, approaching the base from far to near. Compared with the huge Red Gate Orchid base, the figure seemed extremely small, but it was still captured.
"There are intruders?! Quick, quick, quick! Activate the defense equipment!! Aren't they equipped with weapons?!!"
"Activate the weapon quickly! Activate the weapon quickly! Don't let him get close to the base!!!"
The general and the researchers both shouted, but the researcher in charge of the operation wiped the sweat from his head and said: "No! The base has just been deployed, and the energy has not yet been fully connected to the defense equipment. The energy is being transmitted. It is currently 13% and will be gone in three minutes."
The transmission can be completed..."
The figure stood very far away, and was just a small black dot in the lens. It was completely unclear who it was, and it didn't look very big.
He didn't crush the base as soon as he showed up like Magneto, which made everyone think that he definitely didn't attack the base that quickly.
Unexpectedly, the figure seemed to spin around in a circle, and then threw something out. Everyone in the launch center saw a circle of light coming from far to near, at an extremely fast speed, with an unrivaled glow.
The power slid across the lens with a "swish", and then accurately hit the energy core of the base.
When the gorgeous fireworks appeared on the screen again, the generals still didn't know the name of the aperture they saw that day, but the light from the fireworks shone on their faces much brighter than the sunset in New York.
The light lit up again, and they had never seen the stars in this universe so clearly before.
It was still a peaceful day on earth. Almost no one knew what happened in space, but almost all of New York could hear the heartbroken voices of a few people.
The next day, the conference room in the military base was lifeless. In addition to everyone being silent, more than half of the people were missing. Most of the people who left went to explain the matter to their superiors. The remaining
Everyone who fell ill was admitted to the hospital.
This incident did not make any contribution to the military's grand cause, but it made a huge contribution to the promotion of other young officers waiting to be promoted.
In the atmosphere of silence, Ross was the first to speak: "The plan cannot end like this, otherwise we will lose more..."
Another officer gritted his teeth and hammered the table, saying, "There must be a conspiracy, someone is hindering us!!"
"Where's the aperture yesterday? Didn't you send someone to recover it?" Another general asked, and the general next to him shook his head and said: "Yes, it went. We also found Stark and transferred Mercury.
In the base's surveillance, the aperture disappeared out of thin air..."
"What's the meaning?"
"Literally, during the surveillance, the aperture that detonated the Hongmenlan base disappeared in an instant. No trace was captured, and no one knows where it went."
"Furthermore, according to the analysis report given by Stark, the light scattered by the aperture does not conform to the optical properties of our dimension and is most likely left by high-dimensional visitors."
"But who can collude with the United Nations, Asgard and the so-called high-dimensional visitors? If he has this ability, why doesn't he just destroy our transporter and cause so many accidents??" A young officer was very worried.
asked in confusion.
"That's the problem." Another officer tapped the table with his finger and said: "If someone is really targeting us in the dark, then since he has the ability to mobilize other countries to launch space junk, and can connect with Asgard,
He can even contact some so-called high-dimensional visitor, so why doesn't he just ask Asgard to use battleship weapons to smash all our rockets?"
Ross shook his head. He couldn't understand the problem. Logically speaking, if someone didn't want them to complete this plan, such as mutants, then they could just send Magneto up and crush the base. Why do they do so many tricks?
?Other than a waste of time and energy, what’s the point?
Ross himself knows that the military's launch vehicle carriers and equipment are basically undefended because they have been developed for so long. Even if they are fortified, they cannot stop current weapons, let alone Magneto's specifications.
There are powerful mutants out there.
Moreover, if the mutants knew about this plan, they would definitely not be as quiet as they are now.
Several times before, when they were hunted down by the Sentinel robot, they caused uproar in the city and wanted to let the whole world know that they were the victims.
This time, the military has threatened their fundamental interests. If they knew about it, not only Wolverine, but Wolverine would definitely go on a rampage everywhere to demand an explanation.
Ross himself also knew that the mutants seemed to be divided, but in fact they had their own division of labor. Magneto and Professor
Among female mutants, relatively mild mutants like Phantom Cat will play the role of a victim and cry on TV, while more radical ones like Storm will give speeches everywhere, run their own media accounts, and output
own point of view.
If they knew the military's plan, there would definitely be uproar in the city. In addition to the members of the X-Men who would fire cannons, the Brotherhood of Mutants would definitely set fire to the world, and Magneto would not be idle either. He would also threaten the president.
It's not that I haven't done it before.
But now, there is nothing. All the students at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters are in class normally, the Brotherhood of Mutants is silent, Magneto is still in the Andromeda galaxy and has not returned, and even his daughter Polaris is missing. She doesn't look like her at all.
It seems that survival is threatened.
Apart from this, Ross really couldn't think of anyone else who would be their enemy.
Speaking of Stark, I haven't seen him befriend mutants. And judging from his character, if he wanted to oppose something, he would definitely go to Congress noisily and maybe hold a few press conferences.
I won’t go into the laboratory like now and not even answer the phone.
Asgard and the Holy of Holies are even more unrelated. Both of them are transcendent organizations. Other countries on the earth have no need in this regard.
The countries in the East only care about their own domestic mutants, and they handle this problem very skillfully and do not worry about it at all. Therefore, they never express their position on this internationally, and they will not jump to the challenge at this time when they are busy with technological competition.
Come out and do this kind of thing.
After much deliberation, the military only thought of one possibility, and that was S.H.I.E.L.D.
Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., cursed loudly in a previous secret meeting, rarely expressing an extremely strong objection, and his righteous words could not be persuaded by anyone.
Just when everyone looked at each other and understood that the other person was thinking of the same person, the conference phone placed in the center of the table rang. Ross reached out and pressed the button, and Nick's voice came from it:
"Oh, oh, oh... look what I saw, it seems like someone's spaceship exploded?"
"Why, did you really send your biological mother into the sun? That's such a pity. She doesn't even have a grave. Has Aunt Susan next door finally been able to hide the fact that you are her illegitimate child?"
"I told you a long time ago that you will not fucking succeed!!! Just like this!! Sooner or later one day!! You and your biological mother will be launched into the sun and explode!! There will be no bones left!
!”
"This is the fucking consequence of your stupid decisions!! Don't let SHIELD wipe your ass!!"
As various words that needed to be silenced spewed out of Nick's mouth, the faces of all the generals became darker and darker.
Not only that, Nick brought the matter to Congress the next day.
Although Congress has tacitly approved of this before, the premise is that you have to succeed. If you succeed, nothing will happen. If you fail, military funds will be embezzled.
In addition, the military previously promised many anti-mutant organizations that they would succeed, and the pressure from those forces and organizations was also great.
Nick was uncharacteristically so determined and high-profile, which made the military unswervingly focus on him as a suspect.
After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the military have always been in a competitive relationship. The military cheated S.H.I.E.L.D. last time and S.H.I.E.L.D. has been trying to regain its position. Nick does have sufficient motive to commit the crime.
At the same time, he also has the means to commit crimes. After all, SHIELD is a transcendent organization, and it is easy to bribe a country to launch space junk.
Nick has even personally contacted God King Odin, and has also accepted the foster care of Thor and Loki. It is not surprising that he can ask Asgard for help. As for the so-called high-dimensional visitors, only SHIELD can have such strange people.
A foreigner.
The motive and method have been determined, and SHIELD's suspicion has become infinite. From the military's perspective, this is completely a trap set by SHIELD, and it is very likely that it is a trap that has spanned five years.
, just to completely bring down the Tartu faction.
The military's vigilance against Nick Fury was at its highest, and at the same time, S.H.I.E.L.D. was officially in trouble.
In order to shift the blame and reduce the pressure, the lawsuit went to Congress and even to the newspapers. Although the specific reasons were not stated, almost everyone knew that the two parties had almost become mortal enemies.
The reason why the military is making such a big fuss is to put pressure on S.H.I.E.L.D. with the mentality of "I already lost all my pants, so you can't feel better", hoping that they can help wipe the mess.
The military spokesperson went to the media to criticize the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. for his inaction. The Tartu faction united with several other factions and parliamentarians to put pressure on S.H.I.E.L.D., and many countries in the United Nations denounced Nick Fury’s corpse...
One newspaper after another flew out from all over the country and landed on Schiller's desk.
And on the front page of the last newspaper, Nick's face was clearly printed, and the title was written in bold and bold -
"Yesterday, gunshots were fired in Congress, and Nick Fury, director of S.H.I.E.L.D., was assassinated and died on the spot."
