The Martial God of the Marvel World

Chapter 448 Adding fuel to the fire
"Nick, look at the mess you made, you have to clean it up, as fast as possible!"

Director Pierce's angry roar burst out from the phone. Even though he wasn't in front of her, Agent Hill could guess the distorted face on the other end just by hearing.

It's no wonder that he was angry. The basin of dirty water was thrown right in his face, and there were too many institutions and powerful people involved. Even he could not withstand the pressure.

Nick hung up the phone dejectedly and looked at the CNN news report on the huge LCD screen on the wall opposite his seat.

That damn female reporter, her eyes were almost shining, and she was talking nonsense with foam flying all over her mouth, and the background behind her was the SHIELD building.

"…Currently, the 'Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency', also known as 'S.H.I.E.L.D.', has its doors tightly closed, and no journalists are allowed to enter."

“Whether this mysterious department is the legendary Hydra that was destroyed by Captain America, we still don’t know.”

"But the person who broke the news this time is Natasha Romanoff, a former employee of 'S.H.I.E.L.D.'. She came forward to personally prove that the so-called 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' has now been infiltrated by Hydra, and the possibility is very high."

"Moreover, she not only provided a large amount of top-secret intelligence to CNN headquarters, but also accused NASA of being a branch of Hydra. Even the NASA logo was evolved from the Hydra logo."

As the female reporter reported, a dynamic presentation image appeared on the TV screen, evolving the Hydra logo step by step until it finally overlapped with the NASA logo.

Nick raised the remote control and changed several channels. However, the content broadcast by each news channel was either NASA officials who were embarrassed by reporters' questions, or multinational corporations that held an emergency press conference to deny all false rumors.

Nick turned off the TV, threw away the remote control, leaned back in his chair, and pressed his hand on the throbbing veins on his forehead, feeling extremely depressed.

"It's a pity that Natasha on our side is also a fake, otherwise it might be helpful to let her come out to clarify the rumors." Agent Hill sighed.

Nick shook his head. "No, I'm worried that this was originally part of the aliens' plan. If we hadn't arrested Natasha in advance, she would have said something even more outrageous when she was refuting the rumor, and that would have made everything true."

"People in the bureau are in a state of unrest right now. Everyone was already very nervous because of the internal self-examination, and now something like this has happened. Especially the agents who were named by that impostor, they are under a lot of psychological pressure now." Agent Hill reminded carefully.

"This may not be a bad thing." Nick's eyes flickered. "We secretly arrested Natasha, and the news should not have been leaked. The impostor outside should not know about this."

"In other words, her plan should have been set in advance and then executed according to the plan."

"Natasha once gave me a heads-up, hinting that Agent Garrett and his men were suspicious. If the so-called 'Hydra' incident is added, for safety reasons, given my personality, I will probably temporarily dismiss Agent Garrett and his men and use them again after an investigation."

"If I'm not mistaken, the aliens intend to use this opportunity to have Natasha secretly replace Agent Garrett and others."

"But now we know that Natasha is also an imposter, so conversely, Agent Garrett and the others can be trusted."

Agent Hill nodded, "So what about Hydra?"

"Humph!" Nick snorted unhappily. "Hydra has been eliminated long ago. How could it be possible, as she said, that it parasitized SHIELD through Nazi scientists?"

"The enemy's goal is to disrupt us. We must never believe it!"

"Send an internal message to clarify things to everyone so that they don't cause internal unrest."

"Okay, I understand." Agent Hill agreed. "Then what about the Skrulls' internal self-inspection? Should we continue the investigation?"

Nick frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to purify the team first.

"Continue investigating. Let Agent Garrett take charge."

After Agent Hill received the order and left, Nick crossed his arms, frowned, and began to worry.

Nick is a very suspicious person. Although he is very sure that Director Pierce, Agent Garrett and others are not Hydra, he still has some doubts in his heart.

He originally had many confidants, such as Black Widow Natasha, Hawkeye Clint, and good old Coulson...

But now, both Natashas are fakes, the real Natasha may have died, and the two Clints are still locked up, and it is not clear which one is real and which one is fake. And because of Natasha's incident, even if they can be separated, Nick dare not release the "real" one, who knows if it is another fake.

Coulson and others were selected by Natasha to join the internal self-inspection working group, and then they were all arrested. They are now being detained and interrogated.

For a moment, Nick couldn't find anyone he could trust to use.

After sitting in the office for a long time, Nick got up and left the office, intending to find some capable and trustworthy helpers.

The Avengers plan must be incorporated into the process in advance.
-
Zhan Liu and Natalia are both bad people and they don't know how to use the word appeasement.

Get started first!
Instead of waiting for Hydra to cause trouble for the two "experimental subjects", it is better to destroy Hydra first!
Anyway, there are at least 8,000 organizations that conducted crazy experiments and were eventually destroyed by out-of-control test subjects, and Hydra is not the only one.

It was Zhan Liu's idea to expose the fact that Hydra was lurking inside S.H.I.E.L.D.

Natalia was not optimistic about this method at first, after all, not everyone would believe what the enemy said.

However, Zhan Liu did not intend to expose this information to Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D., but planned to tell the media directly.

Those media outlets are all afraid of chaos in the world.

If it involves capital issues, they will remain silent, but if it involves government scandals, they are all freedom fighters and more excited than chicken blood.

Zhan Liu was so excited to watch the fun that he wanted to poke a hole in the sky.

As for how big the consequences and side effects will be, he doesn't care!

This kind of mentality is the typical thinking of Chinese netizens. The more lively the situation is over in America, the better. All they have to do is sit back and watch the show.

What sense of responsibility, what sense of the overall situation... Zhan Liu has none of them. No matter who is unlucky in the end, S.H.I.E.L.D., Hydra, the U.S. government, or the American people... it's all good!
Natalia, who originally possessed Natasha's memories, had some of the temperament of a superhero, but after the Zerg genes were integrated into her body, she naturally became indifferent to the lives of ordinary people and only cared about the "noble beings" of the same level as herself.

So, one didn't care about the life and death of the foreigners, and the other didn't care about the life and death of ordinary humans, and the two successfully reached a consensus.

Let's do it!
In order to control public opinion, SHIELD often asks major media to block news involving aliens or supernatural events, which offends many media groups.

After all, all news involving aliens or extraordinary events is either thrilling, weird, or a big scene, but no matter which one it is, it is bound to be a hot topic.

The media groups that were forced to block reporting have lost countless viewership and revenue as a result.

The reason why they chose to rush into the CNN headquarters during the live broadcast to expose the news was entirely because in Natasha's memory, the big consortium behind CNN was very dissatisfied with SHIELD's constant meddling in their "freedom of speech", but they were helpless due to pressure from many sides.

If CNN could see the SHIELD scandal, it would be happy to add fuel to the fire behind the scenes.

Moreover, no matter whether this is true or false, those organizations and institutions that have always hated SHIELD can treat it as true, take the opportunity to unite and attack dissidents, weaken SHIELD's influence, and expand their own sphere of influence.

The funding passed by Congress is limited every year. If SHIELD gets more, then its own departments will naturally get less. Therefore, even government departments that have no grudges against SHIELD are happy to see it happen and take the opportunity to strive for more funding support.

This is when the unity of Hydra is revealed.

All of Hydra, whether it is the SHIELD faction, the NASA faction, or the major groups, worked together and faced the outside world in unison, resisting the overall pressure from all classes in the United States to suppress this matter.

Everything is fake!
The question is just a conspiracy and trick of the enemy, it is pure rumor!

Hydra used all the propaganda tools it could to influence, and began to hype up celebrity scandals, such as celebrity marriages, infidelity, divorces, surrogacy... Anything that could divert the attention of ordinary people was thrown out all at once, and with the help of big data, they pushed them accurately and began to bombard the media in turns, trying to gradually fade the matter.

However, Zhan Liu and the other man would not let this matter go so easily, so they had to add fuel to the fire.

Many of Hydra's bases are indeed very secretive, but there are still clues to be found.

It’s just that all the people who were investigating were infiltrated by Hydra, and since they were investigating their own people, naturally everyone helped each other and covered it up secretly.

However, if we go beyond the routine investigation procedures and conduct targeted investigations, we may still be able to find clues.

After all, as long as there are interpersonal interactions, traces will inevitably be left and cannot disappear out of thin air.

What Natasha could perceive, Natalia could certainly perceive as well.

But Natalia is different from Natasha. Natasha is limited by her identity as a SHIELD agent. Even if she has suspicions, she has to look for clues bit by bit and then apply for a search warrant to enter the target area.

But Natalia is now a wanted criminal, so she doesn't need any documents or approval. She can do anything without any taboos. If she sees any suspected problem, she will just go in and kill those who have problems, and if there are no problems, they will be unlucky.

A Hydra base.

After killing the last stubborn person, Zhan Liu happily took out his mobile phone and started live streaming to Natalia.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Natasha Romanoff, former agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., we meet again."

Natalia smiled sweetly and waved to the netizens on the Internet.

After CNN broke the news, Zhan Liu asked Natalia to register her own social account on the world's most popular social platform.

As an agent, the first rule is always to keep your identity concealed.

When performing a mission, if they need a certain social media account, SHIELD's technicians will naturally help them forge one, but they don't really have their own social media account.

Now, in order to be able to disseminate intelligence and information to the outside world at any time, it is very necessary to establish a self-media.

Things went even more smoothly than Zhan Liu had imagined.

These days, appearance is justice!
Natalia successfully gained popularity among netizens because of her outstanding appearance, curvy figure, slender long legs, and unique and exciting career, and became an Internet celebrity overnight.

Zhan Liu guest-starred as a photographer, responsible for on-site shooting, while Natalia became the leading anchor of the self-media. She covered many anchor styles including appearance anchor, outdoor anchor, kung fu anchor, etc. Even if she stopped being an agent and became an internet celebrity, she would surely be a great success.

Natalia now has more than 10 million fans, most of whom are old perverts who come for her beautiful face.

But Natalia doesn't care about the nature of these people, as long as they are useful.

It is much easier to fool netizens than to be a spy and fool those gang bosses or corrupt officials. Just throw a few flirtatious glances and post a few short battle videos, and those old perverts will be fascinated by it and regard Natalia's words as the universal truth.

The next thing is simple. Find Hydra's base and then break in. Use facts to add fuel to the current tense situation in the United States and make both SHIELD and Hydra more lively.

"I am now in the mountains near the city of Atlanta. Look what's behind me?" Natasha smiled and stretched out her hand to point backwards.

As Natalia spoke, Zhan Liu moved the camera of his mobile phone to the wall behind Natalia, where a huge Hydra logo was prominently displayed.

Zhan Liu just couldn't understand it. It was obviously a secret organization, but they set up such obvious Hydra logos in every base, as if they were afraid that others wouldn't see it.

I really don't know what these Hydra leaders are thinking. Is this part of the Hydra culture? Can it make the members more united?
But no matter what Zhan Liu thought, this huge sign really helped him a lot at this moment.

Although Natalia had provided a lot of information before, it was too unbelievable for many people to believe. And with Hydra's public relations actions, it was gradually regarded as a farce of an internet celebrity who wanted to become famous.

But now, the situation is different.

Words are not enough, let this be your proof!
