The next day, Comrade Pierce, the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., was buried in a grand ceremony. He also became another beneficiary of Daisy's reform. His body was treated as a lieutenant general. The Ministry of Defense sent a deputy minister to preside over the ceremony.
.
God knows what Okuko and the Pentagon were thinking. They kept the time of Pierce's death vague, thinking that this guy was the highest-ranking general who died in the Battle of New York. They planned hard and arranged a ceremony similar to a state funeral in one day.
The farewell ceremony for the body was held in the Capitol Building.
The funeral was arranged at the Washington Cathedral. Many senior agents were present. Even Coulson, who was busy rebuilding the school every day, and the semi-retired Hawkeye and Black Widow came to the scene to see the former director off.
The pastor told the story of Pierce's life in a melodious tone, indicating on behalf of God that this guy was living a good life in heaven. Then the pastor motioned for someone to come up and say a few words.
Lu Dan shook his head slightly. He was very eloquent, but rarely made long speeches in public. He rarely attended funerals. This time was considered a special case. He touched Daisy with his elbow, which meant you go ahead.
Daisy can only go to the front desk to complete this ceremony.
She first looked around the scene. There were agents, members of Congress, generals from the Ministry of Defense, and several relatives of Pierce. However, their feelings were very weak. If they hadn't heard about a large pension, they might not be willing to come.<

"Director Alexander Pierce is our elder. He is a kind elder and a wise guide."
"Due to some despicable means, the enemy confused his mind, and we had to leave this strict teacher sadly. This is not Director Pierce's shame, but ours! The enemy has trampled on our dignity!" Daisy raised her fist and signaled.
I am very angry.
At this time, the White Queen's voice came from her mind: "I'm laughing so hard. Is this Pierce you're talking about? Haha..."
As a special advisor to SHIELD, the White Queen also arrived at the scene today, and was rarely seen wearing black clothes.
"...Stop talking nonsense!" She scolded the White Queen in her mind, pretending to cough, indicating that she was a little excited, but in fact she was reorganizing her words.
"Predecessors will always leave something for us to learn. What did Director Pierce teach us? It is progress, the spirit of always moving forward, and learning. It is the tenacity of a sixty-year-old man who is still teaching himself computers and researching algorithms.
”
"S.H.I.E.L.D. has gone through World War II, gone through the Cold War, and got to where it is today. Director Pierce has played a major role in maintaining world peace. Now this heavy responsibility has been handed over to us."
Does sending the Winter Soldier to assassinate Kennedy count as maintaining world peace? Daisy can’t say...
"I see uncertainty in your eyes. You don't know whether what you are doing now makes sense. When the green-skinned monster outside beats the enemy like a sandbag, when the strong man in the red cloak holding a silver hammer flies across the sky of New York
At that time, I also asked myself, is what SHIELD is doing now still meaningful?"
The agents below are all well-trained people. They will not clap hard after hearing a few words of chicken soup like ordinary citizens. Daisy's language is not so instigating, but many people still show interest. They want to
Listen to Daisy's answer.
"I think it makes sense, people need to see a group, they need to see ordinary people like them fighting on the front line, seeing someone working and trying to make the world a better place, and I and many superheroes are
We are friends and we respect each other, but I still want to say that SHIELD is indispensable. It is the link between superheroes and humans."
"Ordinary people are not a burden, they are the source of our strength to protect the world."
The funeral ended quickly, and Daisy kept looking at Pierce's coffin until he was buried. The frequency did not change. She left the scene quickly, and there was still a prisoner and the follow-up incident with Pierce waiting to be dealt with.
"What do you think? Is our decision really the right one?" Hawkeye and Black Widow have now become a different kind of S.H.I.E.L.D., and many agents just nod when they see them now, and there is no longer the warmth of the past. Hawkeye wants to solicit
Let me know what your companions think.
Black Widow didn't respond to him, leaving a hurried sentence to talk about it later, and then rushed into the crowd.
In the moment just now, she saw a familiar figure among the crowd outside the church. This was the reason why she abandoned her eagle eye.
An acquaintance, a very familiar person, a person who was supposed to have been dead for many years reappeared, and her vigilance and desire for discovery were aroused. How could she have time to think of an eagle eye at this time?
Quickly moving through the crowds and buildings, Black Widow discovered that the suspicious figure's pace, blocking techniques, and counter-detection methods were exactly the same as hers, which allowed Black Widow to confirm the identity of the other person.
He was Black Widow’s instructor when she was training in the Red Room of the Soviet Union, and was perhaps the only man she ever loved in the world. They didn’t know each other’s names, only their two numbers from when they were in the Red Room.
Teacher No. 01 and Student No. 1445.
Black Widow's performance in training was not good. Apart from being beautiful, she had no strengths. The prominent surname of Romanov made her suffer numerous injustices.
Fighting, infiltration, killing, poisoning, she is not as good as others. She was a kind and caring girl at that time, but unfortunately everything has changed.
Now she is the most powerful spy in the world. No one can escape her tracking, not even her former teacher.
When I turned a corner, I heard an alarm in my heart.
Her expression remained unchanged, as if she had expected it. This scene seemed to have been rehearsed countless times. She lowered her head and bent over, drew the gun, and at the same time flew sideways and forward, completing several movements in one go.
With a "boom", the silver-white mechanical arm hit the corner of the wall where she was about to appear. Seeing that his blow missed, the Winter Soldier no longer hesitated and rolled to the side, avoiding the Black Widow's shot.
The Winter Soldier threw a dagger and knocked away Black Widow's pistol, and then attacked again.
The familiar figure did not make Black Widow show mercy. She flew up, used jujitsu to clamp the Winter Soldier's neck with her legs, and then straddled her waist with force, trying to knock him down.
After exerting force twice in a row, the Winter Soldier's feet seemed to have taken root on the ground, holding them up. She knew something was wrong, and her always unfavorable tricks were offset by the Winter Soldier's powerful back strength, and the Black Widow was in a terrible situation.
It was very dangerous. She could only make fists with both hands and punch the Winter Soldier on the head, trying to stun him.
Once, twice, and by the third stroke, the Winter Soldier regained control of his body balance. He let the black widow hang on his body, like a violent bear crashing into the wall in front of him. At the moment when the black widow took a breath,
, the robot hand grabbed her neck.
"Can you at least recognize me?" Black Widow said quickly without waiting for the other party to exert her strength.
The Winter Soldier looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar face of the Black Widow, and his mind fell into a sluggish state for a moment. His fingers unknowingly loosened and he took two steps back.
