S.H.I.E.L.D.’s posture of mobilizing troops is naturally not an act.
They are indeed preparing to attack Atlantis, and it makes no difference whether Namor chooses to resist or surrender.
If there is a conflict, they will fight it. If there is no conflict, they will fight it. If there is a conflict, they will fight it. SHIELD has been planning this internally for more than a month.
This time Daisy took action directly on the earth and forcibly dragged Atlantis out of the water. She had a deep-seated plan. As for why she found Namor, it can only be said that he was unlucky.
Daisy has too much work now. Building the clone multiverse takes up most of her energy, and spending time with her family takes up the remaining free time.
She has arranged avatars to manage both Kree and Xandar. As for the Earth, she doesn't have much time to take care of SHIELD.
The bald man's entry into the White House has frightened the elites of various countries. S.H.I.E.L.D. is too strong and has become unable to communicate.
At the same time, there were also some complaints within the organization, and she knew it was time.
This is not the era of feudal society, and it is very scary for an organization to have no upward path.
If she lives for 10,000 years, will she be the director of SHIELD for 10,000 years? There is no need for that. It is better to leave at the peak of her career and leave a good impression on everyone.
When the director retires, the deputy director takes over. The position of the deputy director is now vacant. The agent below can take over as deputy director. Level 8 agents can be promoted to level 9, and level 7 agents can be promoted to level 8. One carrot and one pitfall, many people can do it.
How great would it be to take a step forward?
This kind of advancement can even extend to the aunt who cleans SHIELD. Maybe the new director can give the aunt a salary increase by one level after taking office.
Daisy is preparing to step down as director and officially hand over SHIELD to Hill.
Bald Brother and Hill are just colleagues, not superiors and subordinates. Their status is relatively equal.
The retirement of Daisy, who has been clamoring about nuclear threats, and the appointment of Hill will ease the fragile self-esteem of the hawks in Western countries and re-maintain the balance of power between the parties.
It is helpful for the peace of the earth. It is not good for Western countries to be too weak, and it is not good for S.H.I.E.L.D. to be too strong. Balance is very important.
This Battle of Atlantis is for Hill to officially take over as director to build up his reputation.
"If you find it troublesome, you can leave this matter to SHIELD." From time to time, staff around Hill handed her various documents. She was preoccupied with three things, signing quickly while allocating supplies and soldiers.
Finally, I had a few nonsense words with Stark.
Stark has many concerns. He cannot convince Namor on the basis of satisfying the interests of all countries. At present, there is almost no solution except to use force: "If the governments of various countries no longer intervene, what are you going to do?"
Hill said nonchalantly: "Of course we will do it according to SHIELD's usual practice."
Stark is quite critical of SHIELD's actions, and he is still trying his best to get both parties back to normal negotiations.
It's a pity that Namor completely ignored his good intentions.
"Atlanteans have never been afraid of fighting, not before and never again!" Namor's momentum was extraordinary, and he drew cheers from all the Atlantis soldiers.
Stark put on his mask, pointed his finger at Namor, and said in a serious tone: "You will regret it!"
"Come on! Let me see your strength!" The muscles in Namor's arms bulged, and his fighting spirit soared into the sky.
......
One day later.
The United Nations signed a resolution entrusting S.H.I.E.L.D. to send troops, and each country shared the cost. Hill didn't care too much about money. After a little discussion, he took the army and set sail from the dock base.
The floating aircraft carrier has replaced many core components. In addition to retaining its original navigation and floating functions, it can now also conduct space navigation.
Inside the earth, the space navigation function is not used, but the ultra-high speed still allows SHIELD to surround Atlantis an hour after setting off.
"Commander, everything is ready." Miss Mockingbird reported to Hill. At this time, the dark blue Atlantis was already within the range of many artillery guns. Observers sent by several major countries watched the combat information nervously.
The display screens indoors.
This is Atlantis. As you can tell by its name, it has a lot of black technology. Can we win?
Hill ignored their little thoughts and said in a cold voice: "Fire!"
It is still the multi-tower gun fire coverage strike method of the Insight Project era.
The projectile cannon and plasma cannon in the rotating turret roared together, and countless shells hit the Atlantean city shield.
Air-to-ground missiles rained down on the city, causing a series of violent explosions.
The enemy's counterattack was much weaker than expected. There were only some scattered surface-to-air lasers. Even these lasers were very weak and caused little damage to the energy shield of the floating carrier.
"The Atlanteans seem to be weaker than I thought. Is it because they haven't had a war for a long time? Or are we overestimating them?" A chief of staff of the US Navy asked Hill.
"Because we are united and all countries are the strong backing of S.H.I.E.L.D., our attack speed far exceeds the other party's expectations. They are not ready for war." Hill also spoke in official terms. That's not the case at all. Namor is not a fool. He started preparing half a year in advance. How could he not have the weapons to fight back?
It’s just that most of the counterattack weapons have been destroyed by Daisy.
Passive defense is too passive, but Atlantis has no good way to defend it, so it can only carry it on.
Hill has not given up on SHIELD's fine traditions.
Daisy secretly signed the [Special Immunity Treaty against Nuclear Proliferation] and [Supplementary Clauses on Weapons of Mass Destruction under Special Circumstances] with the governments of several major countries two years ago...
Regardless of the conditions under which these treaties were signed, they were signed anyway!
Things that have a deterrent effect should be used as they should, not only to deter the enemy, but also to deter "one's own people".
Following Hill's order, two nuclear bombs fell over the city of Atlantis, and then a miniature anti-matter bomb completely shattered Atlantis's city energy shield.
The entire city is completely exposed to view.
Unwilling to fail, Namor launched a large number of seahorse-like aircraft into the sky. More than 3,000 Atlantis warriors rode in the aircraft and attacked the floating carrier with laser weapons.
SHIELD also responded in kind.
With Hill's order, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s air force officially debuted.
A large number of Chitauri individual aircraft were captured in the Battle of New York. After these were localized by Doctor Octopus, they have now become flying motorcycles.
Two hundred Quinjets, three hundred X helicopters developed in cooperation with the X-Men, and more than two thousand flying motorcycles joined the battle.
