Marvel Book of Magical Events

Tony Stark took a deep breath and didn't tell Pepper what was going on in Budapest outside the TV cameras. Now that Hungary has entered a state of martial law, almost all opposition parties have been completely purged, and many unknown secret transactions have surfaced. For a time, the influence of the Orban government has expanded unprecedentedly, and it has even reached the point where it can amend the constitution to implement autocracy. Degree. In fact, many opposition parties were executed on the spot without trial, and those who tried to flee Hungary were imprisoned under the joint pursuit of Latvinia and Hungary.

However, the information was tightly sealed and only a few people could know about it. Tony Stark learned about this situation through the Department of Defense, which completely plunged him into an abyss of pessimism. He knew that Salomon had extremely powerful military power projection and decapitation capabilities. The only thing he didn't understand was why Salomon was so anxious - the alien fleet was still some distance away from the earth, and countries around the world still had time to cooperate. But if NATO starts military operations, no one in the world can stop Salomon from attacking the heads of world countries and the leaders of various financial groups, completely putting Europe and even the United States into a terrible situation of disorganization.

"Congress asked the Avengers to stop him and buy time for NATO to build up military power, then I might die." He said, "I know Salomon, anyone who stands in his way will die, even me. No exception. I...I have never seen him so aggressive, and this matter is definitely not that simple."

The atmosphere in the Avengers base is very dull. Except for the personnel hired to provide peripheral basic services, other former S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who are more or less involved in intelligence work all feel the foreshadowing of the coming storm. Twenty minutes ago, the Secretary of State's car drove into the Avengers base, and Secret Service personnel replaced the Avengers agents' security work. After that, some Avengers entered the conference room and have not come out until now. Agent Maria Hill, who was in charge of directing their operations, also stood at the door with her arms folded, as if there was a nuclear bomb that might explode at any time in the conference room.

Any former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who follows international news can pretty much guess why. These agents have experienced the Hydra rebellion, were wanted by law enforcement agencies across the United States, and were finally cleared after review. The current Avengers base is their only safe haven. No former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent wants this organization to disband. It will just land them in jail. They knew about U.S. intelligence interrogation techniques, they had done similar things themselves, and they knew their anti-interrogation courses were of no help.

"Where is Dr. Banner?" Steve Rogers sat on a modern minimalist black leather chair next to the glass conference table. The expressions of the participants varied, and they all had their own thoughts. Not everyone paid attention to the purpose of the Secretary of State's visit.

Natasha Romanov, who hurried back from Europe, looked solemn and frowned tightly. She fully understands the purpose of today's meeting, but she is more concerned about European affairs - she always falls short just when she catches the tail of the target. She could not figure out why the target could always escape at critical moments. The only thing she was sure of was that the intelligence provider (Immortal City) did not leak the secret because they were busy rebuilding Latvinia. Compared to that agreement, Natasha Romanoff believes that the target is more harmful to the Avengers; Sam, a retired soldier nicknamed "Falcon", still doesn't understand what happened. He has been busy these days Looking for a person who can shrink, and does not intend to let others know about his humiliating experience; Pietro Maximov still looks sleepy. In the past few days, he has been bombarded by communications from his sister one after another, and his blood relatives asked him to leave quickly Avengers base and told him what was going to happen today. Although Pietro had some expectations for what happened today, he was still optimistic that the matter would be resolved peacefully; Colonel "War Machine" Roddy had already learned about "Solver" from the Ministry of Defense and Tony Stark. All the contents of the Covia Accords, and he, who has close ties with the military, firmly agreed to let the Avengers be under jurisdiction, because he himself obeyed the orders of the Pentagon and not the Avengers.

"General Ross, we have sufficient evidence that Dr. Banner's disappearance is related to you."

"I don't understand what you are talking about, not to mention that today's meeting does not require the participation of a beast. In addition, I am now the Secretary of State and the Deputy Secretary of Defense, not a general, not just a general." Thaddeus E. Ross wore a business suit, completely abandoning the rude manners he had developed in the Army. He even wore cologne. "I represent the White House and the Pentagon in negotiations with the Avengers."

"This is not negotiation, this is coercion." Steve Rogers glanced at Tony Stark, who was silent, and Vision, who was also silent. He folded his arms and said to Thaddeus E. Ross, "You know where we stand."

"Do I need to repeat it again? Sokovia, South Africa... The Avengers are SHIELD's emergency plan. In the past, you and Nick Fury's command would not cause a catastrophe that you could not handle. Now Without S.H.I.E.L.D., you bunch of headless chickens can go wherever they want, causing more trouble than they solve. The United Nations will not allow this to happen. The Avengers must be controlled. Only the United Nations can agree. You can act only when you think the Avengers are needed.”

"You made a mistake, Ross." Steve Rogers raised his voice slightly, as if he wanted to tell everyone this. "Although I don't want to serve again, I am not opposed to the Avengers being controlled. What I am opposed to is being controlled by an untrustworthy government. I can imagine what will happen after the agreement is signed. You want to send the Avengers there. Where? Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, or Palestine? Do you want us to help the United States seize oil fields, rob food, burn the fields of drug dealers who don't cooperate with the CIA, or capture local people for biochemical experiments? I joined the army because I wanted to You have to fight for justice, and this is not justice. Maybe you want to send us to Latvinia because of the death threats on TV?”

"In just twenty-four hours, a large number of CIA agents were arrested in Hungary, many research institutions with US military investment were attacked, and a large number of personnel were detained. The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security also discovered many links with the US military. A domestic information security company that Fang had cooperated with suffered a terrible terrorist attack. You should have seen the rest on social media. At the same time, large-scale demonstrations broke out in many places in the country, and many people took to the streets to demand that the United States Withdraw troops.”

Thaddeus E. Ross comes prepared. He used a projection device in the conference room to show footage taken by CIA agents in Hungary and the FBI's investigation of the explosion site at an information security company. Under external pressure, the state machine operated in an extremely smooth manner, and many clues came to light. Through the projection device, members of the Avengers can see the information of the people who carried out the case, as well as how they committed the crime, how to prepare, how to obtain support and guidance.

These operations have a very strong CIA style of overseas sedition, but the methods are more than a step above. All the clues are as elusive as white feathers falling on the snow. At first glance, it is difficult to find the pattern. . Whether it is the information on the Internet, the weapons obtained by offline execution personnel, and the connections between them, it all makes the US intelligence agencies scratch their heads. The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI almost strangled the head of the CIA in the internal conference room, trying to figure out whether this was the work of CIA agents.

After the CIA repeatedly assured that this was not its own action, everyone felt an extremely strong sense of crisis. An invisible ghost is wandering in the United States, transporting weapons, inciting people, and transferring funds in extremely professional ways. The only clues that intelligence agencies like them can find are some information flows flowing out of domestic servers, and the ownership of the servers The person had no idea what was going on.

Even just a scaly claw is enough to make them feel the terror of their opponent. Some retired CIA agents and FBI agents feel that they are fighting a ghostly enemy. The psychological pressure they feel is even far greater than facing the KGB. .
