Marvel: God of Spear Technical Advisor

USA, New York.

Xiang Xiang, who handed over the "Rising Tide" contact information to Tony, walked into the World Security Council headquarters building on the East River in Manhattan the next afternoon.

Since the end of the war that devoured the world's first superhero more than sixty years ago, the major powers, who are exhausted and no one wants to fight another world war, have joined hands to establish this international cooperation organization.

In most people's perception, the World Security Council is just a platform for mediating conflicts between major powers, and its mediation role and ability fluctuate, which is better than nothing. However, some of the major powers actually held by this organization are basically unknown to everyone.

Known.

For example, the technical hearing that you need to attend today is a major confidential project managed by the Council.

Before the meeting started, Xiang Xiang met an unexpected person outside the venue.

"Mr. Pierce, we meet again." He looked forward and looked at the hand stretched out from the opposite side, looking very unhappy, and touched the other person lightly with an extremely perfunctory attitude.

Alexander Pierce maintained the restraint that a qualified political figure should have and turned a blind eye to the arrogant move forward; "Nice to meet you, Mr. Zion."

The smile seemed to be engraved on his face. No matter whether he shook hands or spoke, it did not change at all.

"I'm not happy at all;" Qiang Xiang said with a cold face, "Your actions trouble me very much. For a plan that is destined to be impossible to pass, I have to fly tens of thousands of kilometers and waste a beautiful weekend."

Alexander Pierce was still smiling and said: "Isn't this the purpose of the Council inviting Mr. Zion to serve as a technical advisor? We all respect your professional opinions on key issues."

"I remember that when we last met, I already stated my opinion to you; your aircraft carrier will trigger an unprecedented geopolitical crisis and a global arms race."

Pierce responded: "What the council asked Mr. Zion for is only technical advice. As for geopolitics and international diplomacy, they will definitely consider it separately."

The soft peg of Alexander Pierce gave Forward a sudden sense of alarm.

In Qian Xiang's original understanding, Alexander Pierce or the SHIELD behind him insisted on bundling the "Insight Project" with the "Deicide Project", and the fundamental purpose was just to increase the chance of the "Insight Project" being passed;

In essence, it is the same as the U.S. military which inevitably throws out one or even several "xx threat theories" every year when applying for military expenditures.

But looking at Pierce with a smile on his face, I could vaguely feel the deliberateness hidden in the formulaic smile.

"Okay, we'll see you at the hearing." Qianqian unexpectedly extended his hand, but during the handshake, he suddenly grabbed the other person's hand.

"If you plan to use the hearing to make any special plans, why not tell me directly so that I can prepare; and maybe I can help." He leaned forward and lowered his voice to Pierce's ear, pretending to be mysterious.

said.

The playboy's abrupt behavior caught people off guard; for a moment, Alexander Pierce even thought that the other party would shout "hail hydra" in his ear.

The former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., who finally kept his face tense, broke free from the other party's hand and said solemnly: "Mr. Zion, we will see you at the hearing."

"I'm not sure you'll like me at the hearing." Xiangqian shouted at the back of Pierce's hurried away figure, making sure that the other party heard his words.

At this time, "Lao Hong", who was acting as a bodyguard again, approached: "The vehicles that followed us all the way from the airport have been located; one of them was parked at the intersection of First Avenue, one was parked at 42nd Street. The remaining three vehicles were all

We drove into a garage owned by a leather bag company."

"Someone is targeting me. The FBI has always monitored me before I came to the United States, but it has never launched such a large-scale campaign." The smile on Qiang Qian's face gradually became colder.

Due to Xiang Xiang's special status, since he became the technical advisor of the Spear Bureau, every time he went to the United States, FBI agents would soon follow him; and this kind of surveillance operation was basically semi-public, and everyone understood it tacitly.

But this time, the World Security Council issued an invitation to hold a hearing, and it was the rotating U.S. representative who took the lead in organizing it. Logically speaking, no U.S. intelligence agency should have such an overreaction.

Unless, as Qiang said, their goal is Qiang. Even this hearing was specially designed to lure him to the United States.

"Lao Hong" was worried: "Should we report to the superiors immediately and activate the emergency plan?"

"Don't worry, it's not worth the Americans paying the credibility of the entire World Security Council for me alone." Xiang Qian stopped the restlessness of the bodyguard team, "First attend the hearing before we talk; if there is a situation, I will talk to you

Representative Gu will leave together."

"It's okay." Xiang Xiang's opinion was recognized by "Lao Hong".

As the Chinese representative on the World Security Council, Representative Gu not only has diplomatic immunity in the United States, but even his car registered in the name of the embassy belongs to Chinese territory in the legal sense; as long as he gets into his car, he can basically

Ensure safety.

Until Xiang Qian was introduced to the venue, he was still thinking about the person behind the tracking of him; in fact, based on his understanding of the American intelligence community, he had already vaguely guessed the identity of the other person, but he couldn't find much evidence at the moment.

After all, the United States is the opponent's home field.

It wasn't until he heard "We would like to ask Dr. James Zion to provide us with technical consultation on the necessity of the 'Insight Project'" that his thoughts were recalled to the hearing site.

The lengthy hearing process began; after formulating answers to the presiding officer's procedural questions such as "Have you already understood the basic overview of the 'Insight Project'?" the meeting got down to business.

"Dr. Zion, please first explain your views on the addition of Project Insight to Project Deicide." The questioner was the host of the hearing and the current rotating chairman of the World Security Council, Gideon Malik.

This is a traditional American politician with white hair.

"Time is precious, so I will tell the truth; the 'Insight Project' is not only useless to the 'Deicide Project', but it is also very likely to destroy the current stable and orderly situation of the 'Deicide Project'."

Xiang Xiang fulfilled what he said to Pierce on the sidelines, and stepped on the "Insight Project" as soon as he opened his mouth.

There were only a dozen or so people in the venue, including representatives from the five countries, but there was still an uncontrollable commotion over Qiangqian's words.

"Why? The council needs a credible reason." Gideon Malik exerted the basic ability of a white elite politician and quickly spoke out to control the order of the meeting.

Talking forward: "I have carefully read the 'Insight Project' weapon platform specification submitted by Mr. Pierce - that is, an introduction to the flying aircraft carrier. I have to say that in terms of combat power, it is indeed a powerful platform, but

This platform also has huge technical flaws. It is precisely the existence of these flaws that makes me not recognize the feasibility of the 'Insight Plan'."

"Please elaborate."

"Although this flying aircraft carrier has excellent visual stealth capabilities, its huge hull and lift-off noise make it completely unable to avoid the detection of air defense radars; as long as it appears at the mission location of the 'deicide plan', there is no doubt that it will

It was discovered by surrounding countries immediately. Please note that the straight-line distance between the 'Deicide Project' mission location and the Persian Gulf is less than a thousand kilometers."

At this point, Xiang Xiang deliberately stopped talking, leaving some time for the participants to think about it.

The representatives from the five countries present here are all senior figures in the political arena and professional diplomats with a deep understanding of international politics. Of course, they all understood the implication of Xiang Xiang's words.

"According to the flight data of the aircraft carrier, it can fly from the mission location to the Gulf of Aden or the surrounding waters of the Persian Gulf within an hour." Xiang Xiang continued;

"Everyone, if we really decide to include flying aircraft carriers in the 'deicide plan', we will have to explain to India, Iran and other countries surrounding the Indian Ocean why we want to deploy an aircraft carrier there that can dismantle a country's defense command system in two minutes.

A powerful combat platform.”

Alexander Pierce, who was also in the venue, couldn't sit still. He stood up and said loudly: "We are here to protect the safety of the earth."

"Protecting the security of the earth should not be an excuse for some countries to intensify geopolitical conflicts." Qiang Qian choked back, "Or do you plan to disclose the existence of the 'deicide plan' to the world?"

This question caused representatives from all countries to unanimously shake their heads in opposition.

Everyone present understood why the "deicide plan" had to be secretive; because once the plan and related causes and consequences were announced, it would likely directly shake the social foundation of all secular regimes in the world today.

After all, the big guy sleeping in the mantle layer under the Indian Ocean crust looks too much like the god in ancient legends.

Those countries with less strong religious traditions in history are better off, but even in Europe, the birthplace of modern civilization, how many kings did not accept the coronation of a pope or a cardinal before entering modern times? How many of them were there?

Do people still believe that the earth is flat? Not to mention that countless people regard the sheepfold as their spiritual sustenance.

If the matter really spreads, when will His Majesty the Pope point to that big man and say, "That is Gabriel who sounded the horn of the Last Judgment", and then decide to reopen the "tithe" and even resume selling indulgences.

indefinite.

Alexander Pierce refused to give up. He protested sternly: "Is it necessary to ignore the powerful combat effectiveness of flying aircraft carriers because of geopolitical reasons? I believe that the attitudes of neighboring countries can be persuaded, but the combat effectiveness of flying aircraft carriers is difficult to replace.

of."

"On the contrary." Going forward is also prepared, "If we use the combat mode of flying aircraft carriers as a reference, we actually have many alternative solutions - solutions that are safer, more concealed, and do not cause excessive panic."

"Chairman Malik, I think it's worth listening to Dr. Zion's alternative plan?" Of course Representative Gu here wanted to speak out in support of his own people.

"Can you explain it now?" Gideon Malik asked.

He nodded forward and said: "Of course, Mr. Chairman. I have prepared some materials for demonstration. Can I use the playback equipment?"

"certainly."

"Please wait." Qiang Xiang, who had the upper hand, didn't mind showing some grace and courtesy. Then he was warned by the vibration on his wrist.

He calmly raised his wrist and looked forward, showing a meaningful sneer; he quickly entered instructions into the electronic bracelet, and at the same time slowly walked to the seats of several national representatives - as if he was waiting for a boring stroll before debugging the equipment.

But in front of Gideon Malik, he lowered his voice slightly and pretended to be chatting: "Chairman Malik, I have something to say that has nothing to do with the hearing. I hope you will stay calm."

"What?" Gideon Malik is indeed an old fox who has been immersed in politics for decades, with a completely nonchalant expression.

He raised the electronic bracelet on his wrist forward, and a small projection screen was revealed in front of Malik; due to the deliberate blocking and the projection angle, only Malik and the two representatives sitting next to him could see it.

Lines of text appear sequentially on the screen.

"The electronic equipment at the venue was bugged."

"Please don't alarm anyone."

"I'm doing a reverse search for the eavesdropper's location."

"Please secretly notify the security department to cooperate with my actions."

"Please try to stall for time with me."

Gideon Malik stared at the screen for a long time. When he raised his head again, there was no color on his face at all, and he just nodded slightly forward.

"Please forgive the rudeness and inconvenience of an old man. I need to go to the bathroom." Malik said to the other participants very apologetically as he walked back to the electronic equipment he was debugging.

While Malik was away, of course everyone else could only wait. After all, he was the convener and moderator of the hearing.

A few minutes later, Malik greeted him outside the door: "Dr. Zion, during this opportunity, could you invite you to have a private conversation? I have some additional questions about the Insight Project; Pierce, could you

Come too?"

"Of course, I'm happy to."

As soon as he walked out of the door, Alexander Pierce, who was completely in the dark, realized that something was wrong. The security director of the World Security Council headquarters building was actually waiting outside the door.

"Dr. Zion, Mr. Chairman has already told me, are you sure it was eavesdropping?"

He nodded forward and said, "I'm pretty sure, and the past few minutes have allowed me to basically locate the location of the receiving party's electronic signal."

"Where?"

"Washington, judging from the coordinates, the straight-line distance from the White House is less than two miles." Xiang Qian said with a half-smile.

"Okay, we will notify the FBI and Homeland Security immediately." Only after seeing the signal coordinates passed forward, everyone was convinced that this was not a playboy's joke.

"Act quickly, and please try to keep confidentiality; I am not sure when the other party will find out that I am tracking them, and I am not sure whether they will also monitor the external communications of the council headquarters." Xiang Qian reminded, "Now, let me

Let's continue with the hearing and finish the show."

"I'm very good at saying some specious words." Gideon Malik said mockingly, "Fortunately, he didn't say anything too straightforward in his speech at the previous meeting."

"Don't worry, Mr. Chairman; as long as you catch the person, you don't have to worry about the relevant information being leaked." Xiang Xiang comforted him, while also curious about the identity of the eavesdropper.

It wasn't until the evening of that day that definite news came from Washington. At the coordinates provided by Xiang Xiang, the Department of Homeland Security had successfully captured two hackers who were conducting remote eavesdropping; and their identities surprised Xiang Xiang.

"The leader of the 'Rising Tide Organization'?"
