Chapter 252 Poaching (Happy New Year’s Eve!)

Pierce was killed prematurely by him.

This also means that there is a high probability that the helicarrier incident that will occur in the tri-curved wing of S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters will not happen in the future.

Without that Helicarrier incident, Natasha would not have uploaded all of SHIELD's confidential documents to the Internet.

So it is still somewhat useful for Tony to ask Jarvis to crack SHIELD's confidential files in advance.

However, it is not very helpful for this mission.

"If we continue to cooperate in the future, we need to strengthen the exchange of intelligence between the two parties."

Tony said helplessly.

"good!"

Russell replied calmly.

After a few seconds of silence, Tony continued: "SHIELD has promised to open the database to you, so why didn't you find out the secrets hidden by Nick Fury in advance?"

For Tony, Nick Fury does hide some secrets.

For example, the second phase of research on the Cosmic Cube.

But for Russell, he knew about this early on.

As for Nick Fury's other secrets, he wasn't very interested.

"There's nothing to find. Nick Fury is indeed hiding something."

"However, I knew those things a long time ago."

Russell said calmly.

"What secret?"

Tony asked immediately.

"He's using the Cube to develop weapons of mass destruction."

Although Russell's tone was calm, Tony's expression became very exciting after hearing his words.

Weapons of mass destruction?

Tony himself is a top weapons inventor, but he has never had the idea of ​​developing weapons of mass destruction or chemical weapons.

It's not that he doesn't have this ability, it's that these weapons are simply not suitable for use on conventional battlefields.

Of course, terrorists are the exception.

"Is everything you said true?"

Although Russell was unlikely to joke with himself on this matter, Tony still felt that the news that Nick Fury had developed weapons of mass destruction without authorization was a bit too shocking.

Even if SHIELD has an official background, once this matter is known to the public, SHIELD will face a lot of trouble.

"Of course it's true. I don't joke about these things."

Russell said with a serious face.

Tony fell silent, wondering what he was thinking.

After being silent for nearly a minute, he slowly said: "I feel more and more now that the Cosmic Cube should not continue to be in the hands of SHIELD."

"I'm feeling it too!"

After chatting for another five or six minutes, Russell and Tony left the lounge and began to return to their respective rooms.

Tony originally wanted to go to the laboratory to assist Banner and Reed, but when he learned that SHIELD was secretly developing weapons of mass destruction, he gave up the idea.

S.H.I.E.L.D. is really not an ordinary disappointment!

Tony's evaluation of SHIELD is getting lower and lower now.

He could still view SHIELD neutrally, but since he learned that his father Howard was one of the co-founders of SHIELD, and SHIELD secretly hid Howard's belongings, his view of SHIELD has changed.

It started to decline.

If Russell hadn't told him, he would still be kept in the dark.

This one incident was enough to make Tony dislike SHIELD.

That's my father's relic!

You actually hid it privately, and you hid it for twenty years!

After returning to the rest room, Russell played a game with the levitating cloak again.

Time passes little by little.

A few hours passed like this, and when everyone thought there was nothing to do today, a message suddenly came from the bridge, asking Russell and others to go to the bridge.

Within a few minutes, the conference table on the bridge was filled with people.

Russell, Diana, Banner, Tony, Mr. Fantastic Reed, Ben the Stone, Invisible Woman Susan, Jonathan the Human Torch, Captain America Rogers, Black Widow Natasha, Hawkeye Barton...

Including Nick Fury, the fugitive hero, there were a total of twelve people, filling all the seats.

Coulson, Maria Hill, Melinda May and other senior SHIELD agents could only stand aside.

When everyone was done, Nick Fury finally spoke.

"Although you are not ordinary people, this time the matter involves aliens, so I have a few small requests to make to you."

After speaking, Nick Fury glanced at everyone with his only remaining right eye.

Russell and others did not speak, waiting for Nick Fury's next words.

"It shouldn't be difficult for you to defeat or capture this target alive."

"But in the process of taking action, I hope everyone can reduce the impact as much as possible."

"It is not a good thing for ordinary people to know that aliens can come to the earth at any time."

Although he said this, Nick Fury knew very well that even if he wanted to hide this kind of thing, it would not be an easy thing.

Although there are only three aliens who have stolen the Cosmic Cube, this is only for now.

After witnessing the Cosmic Cube opening a portal to bring the three Deathblade Generals from the universe to Earth, Nick Fury had already prepared for the worst.

"Whether we can reduce the impact is not something we have the final say on."

Russell said first.

Although the current development is different from what he remembered, there is a high probability that the Chitauri army will attack New York.

However, this is not easy to say.

After all, it is possible that the three generals of the Dead Blade simply took the Cosmic Cube and ran away.

In the movie universe, the Chitauri army will attack New York, mainly to help Loki dominate the earth.

But now, it was not Loki who stole the Cube, but the three Deathblade Generals.

They have no idea of ​​dominating the earth, or rather, they don't have it yet.

"Of course I know this, but when you take action, try to control it."

Nick Fury said slowly.

After talking about this, he made a few more small requests.

For example, try to capture the three Deathblade Generals alive as much as possible, reduce collateral damage as much as possible, etc.

When everyone thought he had called everyone here just to talk about this, he suddenly made a suggestion that no one had thought of.

The Avengers!

After failing to attract Diana to join S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury still did not give up the idea of ​​recruiting these high-level combat forces, and proposed the reunion plan that had been formulated long ago but has never been implemented.

"Captain Rogers, Agent Romanoff, and Agent Barton have all agreed to join the Avengers."

"Although you have your own team of heroes, your purpose is to better maintain world peace and prevent disasters from happening."

"I will not ask everyone to disband their team, nor will I force everyone to join the Avengers."

"What I mean is, if you don't mind, you can become a part of the Avengers while continuing to maintain the original team."

"In this way, if a similar incident occurs in the future, it will be more convenient for everyone to cooperate."

"And I can assure you that as long as you are willing to become a part of the Avengers, I can allow both the Zhenglian and the Fantastic Four to receive support from the official level, including but not limited to authority, funds, personnel and other support."

Although Nick Fury said it tactfully, everyone present was not an idiot. They knew what he was planning without even thinking about it.

As soon as he finished speaking, Russell and Reed, as the leaders of Zhenglian and the Fantastic Four, immediately chose to refuse.

Although he was rejected by Russell and Reed, Nick Fury was not surprised.

If it was so easy to get them to join the Avengers, he wouldn't have to worry about it.

"It doesn't matter, as long as I am still the director of SHIELD, this proposal will always be valid."

"If you change your mind, you can contact me at any time."
