Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 211 The New Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. with Sharp Reforms!
Hawk is not Thor.

He's not an alien, he's a native of Earth.

After Thor appeared in the world and the Chitauri invaded Earth, the five good men already understood one thing.

Beyond Earth lies a lawless land. Once Earthlings venture into the universe, they will not face the flowers and wine of the cosmos, but more likely the guns and diplomacy of countless alien races.

Although Earth is located in a remote and impoverished part of the universe.

but……

The five philanthropists don't know this, and diplomacy within Earth is always conducted with the greatest malice, let alone outside Earth.

Therefore, Hawke becomes especially important at this time.

The most important thing.

Hawke has a falling out with the federal military.

Quantico is still being rebuilt, but less than one-tenth of it has been rebuilt; the remaining nine-tenths of the ruins are still lying there.

The grass on General Ross's family graves has changed several times over.

That's great.

This is bad for the Federation, but it's a great thing for the other four members of the Security Council.

Again.

I hate that others have it, and I hate that I don't.

If Hawke has a good relationship with the Federation, then the other four board members would certainly agree with Nick Fury's plan to take control of Hawke.

Just like how the Security Council acquiesced to Nick Fury's measures to control the Hulk back then.

Who can blame them when the Hulk's girlfriend is named Betty Ross, and Betty Ross's father, Thaddeus Ross, is one of the top figures in the Union military?

The Security Council is not the federal Security Council, but the Security Council of the Five Great Philanthropists.

It's less that S.H.I.E.L.D. felt the need to control the Hulk, and more that the Security Council felt the need to control him.

But Hawke is different.

Hawke has no dealings with other good nations and is also at odds with the federal military. Moreover, Maria Hill and others have had friendly interactions with Hawke.

This is the fundamental reason why, after Nick Fury's resurgence and his renewed call for Hawke's control, the Security Council subsequently froze his command authority once again.

and so……

"Congratulations, Commander Hill, no, I should call you Director Hill now."

Following the latest Security Council resolution, the first thing that came to mind was not how to handle the Hydra crisis, but rather the promotion of Maria Hill to Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., giving her oversight of all S.H.I.E.L.D. affairs.

Because when it comes to dealing with the aftermath of Hydra, a suitable and widely respected person must step forward to take charge.

Maria Hill, who remained exceptionally calm and followed the rules during this Hydra riot, naturally earned the Security Council's appreciation.

after all!

Nick Fury is dead.

Even feigning death is still death.

In a way, this is a bargain for Nick Fury.

Because of these three points: he was the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he was recommended to the position by Hydra leader Alexander Pierce, and Hydra fought again during his term.

Moreover, due to Hawke's intervention this time, Nick Fury failed to stage a triumphant return.

To put it simply, it would be fine if Nick Fury were really dead, but what if he was previously declared dead and then suddenly reappears alive?

Ha ha.

The best outcome for him is to spend the rest of his life in prison.

After all, you died when Hydra was fighting, and you came back to life after Hydra failed. It's hard not to be suspicious.

Anyway-

The Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. is dead, and the new Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. is the newly appointed Maria Hill.

"Commander, Director Hill, do you have a suitable candidate?"

"Commander Victoria Hand, New York SHIELD Operations Command Center."

"……Can."

During the video conference, the four Security Council members and the newly appointed Federal Council member exchanged a few words after muting their microphones. Then, the Eastern Council member on duty this month turned his microphone back on: "That Mr. Phoenix is ​​in New York City. If Commander Hand comes to headquarters, then in New York City..."

Maria Hill placed her hands behind her back and gazed at the five board members representing the five great philanthropists on the large screen in front of her.

"The person Hawk was closest to in S.H.I.E.L.D. was not me or Commander Hand, but Sharon Carter. It was because of Sharon Carter that Hawk ended up like this."

“Then Sharon Carter can replace Commander Victoria Hand…”

"No."

"Uh……"

“I plan to eliminate the New York S.H.I.E.L.D. command center, no, I mean all S.H.I.E.L.D. branches outside of headquarters.”

Maria Hill stated the first thing she did after taking office with a blank expression.

It's not about appeasing people, nor is it about expanding the scale.

Instead, they took drastic measures and downsized the organization.

In a word.

It is an undeniable fact that Hydra parasitized S.H.I.E.L.D., grew stronger, and even nearly succeeded in its second attempt.

As the entity being parasitized, although the Security Council did not take action against S.H.I.E.L.D. for various reasons, resentment was certainly generated.

and so……

Rather than passively waiting for the Security Council to take action, it's better to be proactive.

“I’ve always felt that S.H.I.E.L.D. is too large. If it were just large, that would be fine, but S.H.I.E.L.D. is too bloated.”

"S.H.I.E.L.D. was originally established to serve as a firewall between the extraordinary and the ordinary world."

"What it needs is not size, but rapid response, flexibility, and obedience to the Security Council." "What A.E.L.D. needs is a highly skilled and capable team."

"Moreover, although Hawke helped us get rid of Hydra, Hydra has been parasitizing us for so many years, and no one knows if Hydra is still inside us."

"Now is a good opportunity."

"S.H.I.E.L.D. can take advantage of this reform to thoroughly clean up our internal structure."

"There are two more Insight motherships, and I plan to..."

On the big screen, the five board members, including the newly appointed security board member, listened to Maria Hilkekay talk about her plans after taking office, and their expressions gradually became serious, even showing increasing appreciation.

Among them, the East Asian Council members and the Moscow Council members are the most prominent.

After all, these two companies were only taking money and not participating, and they had been thinking from the beginning about whether to take this opportunity to simply withdraw from the group.

However, for various reasons, this proposal has not been heard of by the top think tank in the country.

And right now...

Maria Hill's decision to cut herself into the knife seemed to fit their ideas perfectly.

The London and Paris council members were also pleased with the outcome.

After all, even good people are ranked. S.H.I.E.L.D. can't enter the Eastern Country and Moscow. The Federation is the headquarters, but the S.H.I.E.L.D. branches in those two countries are extremely powerful.

There is one new federal council member remaining.

He did want to refuse, since everyone knew that when the Federation proposed a global institution, its real idea was to maintain world peace, but it was more like it wanted to use the institution to play a game of "those who obey me prosper, those who oppose me perish."

But I can't refuse at this point.

Well known.

People who have just made a big mistake are not liked, nor are they very willing to speak to.

The same applies to the federal government.

and so……

Maria Hill's first reform proposal after becoming Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. received unanimous approval from the Security Council.

"What about Hawke..."

"As long as Sharon is in New York City, my attitude remains the same as before. And it has been proven that Hawke is a neutral lawful faction. He may not help us do anything, but he will certainly not help villains who may endanger the Earth in the future."

"Ok."

The rotating East Country council member, recalling his meeting with Hawke in the S.H.I.E.L.D. conference room, chuckled and said, "You're the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. now, you're in charge. Director Hill, quell this commotion as soon as possible."

Maria Hill nodded, her expression serious.

"clear."

"That's settled then, meeting adjourned!"

The director of the East Country Council glanced at the other four directors, then slammed his fist on the table, making the final decision and ending the video conference.

The large screen went dark instantly.

Maria Hill also withdrew her gaze, then turned to look at Commander Victoria Hand, who was standing not far away and had been watching from outside the screen.

Commander Victoria Hand walked over.

"Director."

"commander!"

After exchanging their new titles, Hill smiled and asked, "How long will it take for SHIELD in New York?"

Commander Hand thought for a moment.

"One month."

"can."

"I plan to complete the Aegis reform by the end of this year."

"At the end of this year..."

Victoria Hand frowned and looked at Maria Hill: "Too fast."

Hill shook his head.

"We need to act decisively. This is the most chaotic time for S.H.I.E.L.D., but it's also the easiest time to implement reforms. We have to change. I don't even plan to keep S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters."

"Hiss, you're really planning to move the headquarters here..."

"Correct."

Hill nodded, but didn't say anything more, instead changing the subject: "I heard Hawke is injured?"

Hand met Hill's gaze and chuckled, "Yes, I broke my left arm and I'm recuperating at home on Palm Street these days."

Hill was very curious.

"what happened."

"The Demon King's Shackles are still the most powerful. They made it so easy for me to do something that probably no one else could do."

Commander Hand said something, and then told Hill the reason why Hawke's left arm was injured and fractured, and was in a cast and sling.

After hearing this, Hill shook his head with amusement and then looked at Commander Hand.

"That's good. At least he's injured and recovering, so we can focus on our own business."

"indeed."

Commander Hand nodded in agreement, then looked at Hill: "Should we tell Sharon to talk to Gwen and see if Hawke can get some more time to recuperate?"

Hill smiled slightly but did not answer.

She immediately shifted the topic to her next target.

"Someone should be coming over soon; they're looking for Nick Fury."

"..."
