Chapter 310: Make bold assumptions and verify carefully
Although the battle in Stark Industrial Park was so intense that half of New York City was alarmed, and there were even a bunch of videos on the Internet, the next day's news reported that the media reported a gas explosion in the industrial park, and specifically emphasized that there were no casualties.
.
These ordinary law enforcement agencies really can't make the entire New York media silence this matter. So far, the American King of Night Nick Fury has been able to do this!
In fact, this is not the first time that Stark has dealt with SHIELD. After he escaped from the desert, SHIELD's number one socialite and Nick Fury's confidant Coulson had already approached him, but at that time Stark
Stark didn't want to pay attention to the other party at all, and now, SHIELD took the initiative to settle public opinion and help Stark settle many problems. Such a large-scale operation also forced Stark to seriously handle the relationship with SHIELD.
After learning that a third party was involved in Stark's civil war, Agent Coulson took it very seriously. He reported the incident to the director and called experts. He then spent a lot of energy and resources to restore the scene, and finally found the location where the missile was launched.
Unfortunately, nothing was left at the scene except a bunch of footprints. However, experts from SHIELD found the smoke marks of the missile launch and restored the launch model from the fragments. Coulson thought that he could rely on this method to trace the source.
, found the other party's identity, but what a coincidence, the missile was purchased by SHIELD itself, and even the signature of the missile purchase was Coulson's own name.
"You mean, the anti-tank missile bought by SHIELD blew up Stark?"
The one-eyed director was furious, what the hell is this?
"Check, check hard!"
Nick Fury gave the order, and SHIELD immediately launched a self-examination program. For a while, the whole situation was panicked, but after more than ten days of checking, everyone could not find who sent the weapons out.
Even the person in charge of the weapons depot doesn't know about it.
This is not because the people inside SHIELD have a strong sense of confidentiality, but because the people inside are mixed. Hydra thought that the missiles were transported out by their own people, so they naturally tried every means to cover up and create a maze, and also sent the missiles out.
The Defender agents kept blaming and implicating each other, dragging out a minister here and a captain there, and everyone started complaining about the whole situation.
Seeing that Nick Fury might actually dig out Hydra if he continued to investigate, his old boss Pierce quickly asked Nick Fury to stop the investigation, at least openly.
"Nick, there are really not many innocent people in our industry!"
Pierce's words seem to be self-deprecating, but in fact they are also alluding to Nick Fury. When it comes to the issue of whether his butt is clean, Nick Fury is the first to be unable to sit still. He has gained countless funds over the years, although
Most of the funds were used for various secret purposes, but he couldn't clean it without leaving the ledger.
What Pierce means is that it doesn't matter if a few missiles are lost, as long as the tank is not lost. It would be really bad if the investigation continues and everyone is implicated!
At this point, what else can Nick Fury say? Ancestor, ah no, the predecessor handed SHIELD into his hands with the hope that he would carry it forward, not to let him dig his own grave with a hoe, plus those years of
The missiles purchased earlier were used to save Stark, so Nick Fury had no choice but to give up. However, in private, he called two sisters, Yelena and Natasha, to investigate secretly.
"Please rest assured, Director, we will definitely find out the truth!"
Not long ago, Natasha, who had cooperated with Sharon Carter to buy Chen Mo a bunch of advanced weapons from the Hydra arsenal, slapped her chest and issued a military order.
"I can rest assured that you are doing the work!"
Nick Fury nodded. Natasha has never let him down since she joined SHIELD. At this moment, if such a talent is not reused, then why use it?
"That's right, Agent Romanoff!"
Nick Fury emphasized at the end.
"You must always be careful in your investigations. There are some things you don't know. As early as the last century, strange things happened in SHIELD's operations!"
Nick Fury was not embarrassed to say that Chen Mo was going out to sign contracts in the name of Nick Fury's agent, causing his three years of salary to be used to pay off various debts. He just told the two of them that since the last century, God
The Shield Bureau has been targeted by unidentified guys. Now that these weapons are missing, it is very likely that they did it!
"Sir, you mean they are inside us?"
Natasha asked knowingly.
"That was not what I meant!"
Nick Fury was dumbfounded and then shook his head. He thought it was unlikely. At most, there were a few traitors within the agency who were colluding with external forces!
"But, Director, tell me, is it possible that we are just a few traitors in the bureau? And those agents outside are all enemies?"
Natasha's question made Nick Fury frown, and he scolded.
"Agent Romanoff, I have been the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. for more than ten years. No one is more familiar with every plant and plant here than me. If there is an abnormality, I will not ignore it!"
Faced with the director's honeyed confidence, Natasha felt happy. Mr. Serende's arrangement was indeed a stroke of genius! Not to mention those Hydras, even Nick Fury didn't notice the problem. This is really, really bad.
Exciting!
However, perhaps it was Natasha's words that reminded Nick Fury, and he still stopped the two sisters, saying that the matter must be kept secret.
"It's like you are working undercover in the enemy camp. No one can mention it except me!"
After Sister Natasha left, Nick Fury couldn't help but have some headaches. It was another troubled year, but he didn't even have a few useful talents at hand now. Although he recruited Stark to be a consultant to SHIELD, this
The consultant is also in a lot of trouble, and he comes to ask Nick Fury from time to time if he has found out who is helping him.
Although Lu Dan was irritable, he still had an extremely absurd idea in his heart. He felt that Stark's father, Howard Stark, was deeply involved with SHIELD. Is it possible that Howard did not die that year, but
How about hiding his name and secretly protecting his son?
After all, the stolen arms were stored in the weapons arsenal designed by Howard. It must be that no one except Howard knows the detailed structure of these confidential locations better!
Thinking of this, Nick Fury feels more and more likely, and he even wants to tell Stark that your father may not be dead, but has been secretly protecting you all these years!
