The Collection of The End

——Marvel, 2012——

New York, S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.

Steve is reviewing intel about SHIELD's "Project Insight".

Judging from the public description of the project, it is a bit of a privacy invasion, but at least it is legal on the surface.

It collects everyone’s daily movements, speech in public places and on public social networks, and other non-private intelligence, and then uses a complex algorithm to calculate each person’s probability of committing a crime in the short term.

When a person's crime probability exceeds a certain value, SHIELD will obtain more necessary private information about the person through legal means to determine when, where and how the crime the person is about to commit will occur. And take corresponding measures based on the calculation results to prevent crimes that have not yet occurred.

The controversial point of this plan is that from beginning to end, the unlucky guy who was monitored and calculated was "innocent". Currently, there is no law that can punish "unexecuted" crimes that cannot even be called "attempts", unless this plan Taking the initiative to disclose details to society and gaining the power to use it against innocent people through a referendum - this is impossible by any stretch of the imagination.

So so far, S.H.I.E.L.D.’s monitoring of the “insight targets” they identify has been carried out covertly, and with Steve’s authority, it is not possible to check who the “insight targets” are. If nothing else, Rachel... Fisker should be one of them.

...It’s weird that it can be calculated.

If it were just that, Steve wouldn't care too much, but the problem is that this "insight plan" is completely different from the intelligence he obtained from "Vanke Machinery".

He and Coulson didn't get much information from Anton Vanke, because the information storage capacity of things like tapes is really limited, and the person who entered the information was also guessing and vaguely describing the information he got, which caused Steve My husband could only barely understand about half of it.

According to the description in the intelligence, the so-called "Insight Project" has long been transformed by Hydra into a "Skynet" that serves themselves. If a person's public information can be used to determine whether he is likely to commit a crime, then other tendencies will naturally follow. It can be calculated, for example... the possibility of someone being bribed and corrupted by Hydra, and the possibility of posing a threat to Hydra.

If they wanted to, they could even find a specific drop of water in the ocean, just like they could pinpoint Anton Vanke, who had retired for many years.

Combining the two, they can appear like ghosts in front of everyone who cannot be bribed or corrupted, and can cause losses and threats to Hydra, and solve all the troubles quietly. Perhaps, this is It's the reason SHIELD was quietly and massively corrupted by Hydra.

As expected, Nick Fury must be far ahead in the threat rankings in this plan. Even Steve himself has no confidence that he can surpass him.

As for the "Winter Soldier Project", it is much simpler in comparison. To put it simply, it is a plan carried out by Hydra at the end of World War II, when the demise of Kenna was imminent, and for a comeback in the future.

They were frozen by capturing powerful Allied warriors, then brainwashed by brain science and psychologist Arnim Zola to become thugs loyal to Hydra, unfreezing and carrying out missions when needed, then strengthening the brainwashing and refreezing.

What? Why the Allies? Where are your thugs? Of course, it's because they were busy enjoying the rest of their lives after escaping from death and had no time to do these things that were dedicated to other people.

There were as many as 150 of these "Winter Soldiers" at their peak, but because they were not replenished, they always performed life-threatening tasks after being awakened, and their number was also constantly decreasing. According to information provided by Anton Vanke According to intelligence, there are only six Winter Soldiers left in that Hydra base. Due to Nick Fury's recent large-scale purge of Hydra, Hydra executives tried to awaken one or more of them, "give Nick Fury A lesson learned."

To be honest, Steve is actually more willing to deal with these opponents who can be solved with fists. As for the "Insight Project" which sounds very high-tech, it is better to leave it to Stark to solve it. His butler Jarvis should Very good at this.

Although the guy who is supposed to be a scientist has been studying magic recently.

"Colson, let's go."

After confirming that he could not obtain any further information from SHIELD, Captain America stood up, put his shield behind his back, and asked Coulson to leave, who had been napping since opening the SHIELD database intranet for him.

"Huh? Captain, where are we going?" Colson asked while walking around the Lost Lake.

"Siberia," Steve answered.

"Oh... Sieber... what?" The S.H.I.E.L.D. agent became more awake: "Over there... well, let's leave it to the Russians. If necessary, let Agent Romanov handle it."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult for others to handle this matter."

Steve didn't explain much. In fact, he was surprised that he could come to SHIELD first to confirm whether the "Insight Project" was urgent before deciding on the itinerary.

Because, among the list of the only six remaining Winter Soldiers, there was a name that he was extremely familiar with: James Buchanan Barnes, nicknamed Bucky, who he had been looking for through various channels after waking up. , but there is still no news, subconsciously feeling that he has sacrificed his close comrade-in-arms.

Although he regards Hydra as an enemy that he must destroy in his lifetime, he will not underestimate them. Since they dare to formulate the "Winter Soldier" plan without fear of being captured, the victims will be brainwashed. It couldn't be easily lifted. If it was some fool who didn't know Bucky was powerful and was too arrogant, he would probably be easily killed by him using the skills he had honed in countless battles.

The only person who can steadily subdue Bucky and render him incompetent without suffering too much damage to both sides of the battle is him, Steve Rogers himself.

As for brainwashing, his friends include not only scientists, but also Atlanteans, and even gods. Solving this kind of forced control based on brain nerves is basically easy.

The only question now is...whether he can successfully leave SHIELD headquarters.

Steve raised his head and looked at the SHIELD agents outside the data room that almost blocked the corridor - maybe they should be called Hydra agents?

"Sitwell, what do you mean?" Coulson shouted.

"I'm sorry, Captain." The bald black agent with glasses ignored Coulson and looked at Steve with a fake smile on his face: "You probably don't know that the act of 'actively checking the details of the insight plan' will be revealed by Insight." The plan determined that an 'immediate arrest' was required."

"It's quite shy..." Coulson muttered.

I know he is Hydra, but there is no proof.

And he can't capture Captain America without reasonable grounds.

Now that both sides have found good excuses, it makes no sense not to take action.

"So……"

Steve glanced at the agents blocking the front with sharp eyes:

"Does anyone else want to leave before the fight starts?"
