Chapter 114 The Eloquent Nick Fury (1/5, please subscribe)

Although he was physically present in Washington, D.C., participating in the meeting via projection, Alexander Pierce, who was not physically present, still felt extremely uncomfortable.

The gazes of the four board chairmen fell upon him, making him deeply understand what Alexander meant.

That damn Nick Fury.

I work from 8 a.m.

Alexander Pierce remained expressionless, but inwardly he wished he could chop Nick Fury into mincemeat.

If possible, he would do it himself.

When his term as director of S.H.I.E.L.D. was about to expire, there were two candidates for the next director.

Nick Fury, and Maria Hill.

Back then, the most popular choice wasn't Nick Fury, but Maria Hill.

Maria Hill not only had the support of the S.H.I.E.L.D. conservatives, namely Peggy Carter's faction, but also the support of the Pentagon due to her military background.

At the same time, Maria Hill's personal abilities are also quite good.

However, it is precisely for this reason that Alexander Pierce is unwilling to give up his position to Maria Hill.

If he were merely Alexander Pierce, Maria Hill would actually be the best successor.

But he's not just Alexander Pierce of S.H.I.E.L.D., he's also Alexander Pierce of Hydra.

If Maria Hill becomes the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., even if the Hydra agents within S.H.I.E.L.D. are not exposed, their plans to develop covertly will likely be completely frozen.

And just as Alexander Pierce was struggling with this decision.

The wind picked up outside.

What was originally a drawback for Nick Fury's skin has actually become a plus.

In addition, Nick Fury was someone he had promoted, and after an analysis by the organization's internal strategists, he ultimately chose Nick Fury as his successor.

However, getting Nick Fury into power was not an easy process.

Let me put it this way.

Black Life is not a mainstream product, but rather a local specialty.

It's a federal specialty product.

Although France and Britain accepted the latest special products that the Commonwealth had forcibly imposed on them.

But the East Asian and Russian chairmen have no interest in eating shit.

so-.-

In order to bring Nick Fury to power, not only did S.H.I.E.L.D. gradually lose its already declining ties with the Extraordinary Ones, but it also led to the formation of the Eastern "S.H.I.E.L.D." and the Russian "Defenders Alliance".

Since Nick Fury took office, although East Asia and Russia have maintained their investments and shares in S.H.I.E.L.D., they have each established their own "S.H.I.E.L.D."

Although S.H.I.E.L.D. completely lost its law enforcement powers over the East and Russia due to Nick Fury's rise to power, Alexander Pierce still felt it was all worthwhile.

In a word.

Nick Fury is much easier to control than Maria Hill.

But now?

Alexander Pierce seriously doubted that he had been fooled.

Although Nick Fury contacted him early this morning, saying that the Skrulls had only recently contacted him.

Alexander Pierce wouldn't believe a single word.

Even if that were true, Nick Fury should have reported it to him immediately.

Why not report it?

This shows that Nick Fury also has his own little schemes.

But even if he knew, what could he do?

Those who are one's own people should be pampered by oneself.

Moreover, the organization's work has now reached a critical juncture, and if Maria Hill were to take the lead at this time, it would increase many uncontrollable risks.

This incident might even force them to launch their plans ahead of schedule.

But they haven't finished their preparations yet.

In summary.

Under the watchful eyes of the four board chairmen, Alexander Pierce nodded and said in a deep voice, "Yes, Director Fury reported this matter to me. My opinion is the same as Director Fury's: make contact first, and then report it after final confirmation. What if it turns out to be just wishful thinking?"

What he said is correct.

Aliens? This is a big deal. As the chairman of the Federation Council, he can't just bring this up without solid evidence.

He either doesn't say anything, or once he does, it's definitely the truth.

Upon hearing this, the four chairpersons exchanged glances.

The British chairman once again turned his attention to Nick Fury.

"Chief Fury, have you confirmed the other party's identity now?"

"Yes."

Nick Fury nodded, took a projector pen from his pocket, and pressed it: "This is the Skrull data."

The projected image instantly showed the appearance of the universe and starry sky.

Followed by.

The scene instantly shifted to the Andromeda Galaxy.

"The Skrulls' home planet is in the Andromeda Galaxy, where they created the oldest known empire in the Andromeda Galaxy."

"And within the Large Magellanic Cloud, there exists another empire, called the Kree Empire."

"The war between the Skrulls and the Kree has been ongoing."

"In the end, the Kree won this war."

"The Skrulls' homeworld was conquered by the Kree, and some Skrulls who fled their homeworld were forced to wander the universe."

"Until last year, these Skrulls wandered to Earth."

"Just recently, their current leader contacted me, hoping that we could accept him and allow them to live peacefully on Earth."

"In return, they will share their technology with us."

As Nick Fury narrated, the projected images also showed various cool spaceships and all sorts of awesome-looking alien weapons.

The five chairpersons, including Maria Hill who was standing next to them, stared wide-eyed at the warships and weapons that appeared on the projection.

but---

Maria Hill glanced at Nick Fury silently, without saying a word.

Having a military background, she never fights a battle she's not confident of winning. Since she's chosen to take the initiative, Nick Fury's position as Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. must be relinquished, whether he wants to or not.

"I only confirmed this intelligence a few days ago and informed Governor Alexander Pierce. I was originally planning to wait for them to provide the first batch of technical data before discussing it with the Security Council."

"Wait a moment."

The British council member interrupted Nick Fury, frowning, "The first batch? Not all of them?"

Nick Fury looked at the British council member: "In Skrull terms, our current civilization level is only 0.7, while their civilization level is already at the level of a cosmic empire."

The French council member chuckled upon hearing this: "But they were defeated by another civilization, weren't they?"

They believe France will not be defeated.

Well known.

No single power could defeat them before they surrendered.

Since it was a voluntary surrender, it was as if they had not been defeated.

Rounding down.

No one can conquer France!

Long live France!

The four chairpersons sensed the slight pride in the French director's words and all glanced at him simultaneously.

However, all four chairpersons remained silent.

Nick Fury's tone remained completely unchanged.

"Yes, the Kree Empire. This is also why the Skrulls haven't used all their technology. They're worried that if we rashly develop space technology without laying a solid foundation, we might attract the attention of the Kree Empire."

Upon hearing this, the French council member and the British council member exchanged glances and then nodded in approval.

But there is another well-known fact.

These two are just here to make up the numbers.

Alexander Pierce wasn't worried about the two board members; Nick Fury had come to power with three votes over two.

Therefore, his gaze remained fixed on the East Asian council member and the Russian council member.

The attitude of Eastern Russia is the most crucial factor.

The burly Russian councilor, whose physique was almost the size of someone fighting a black bear, said in a deep voice, "Then what's the deal with these Skrulls in New York City who're clamoring to invade Earth? Is it a hoax from New York?"

Nick Fury was prepared for this.

"Mr. Councilor, every group has a few bad apples who don't care about the big picture."

"Don't we have that too?"

"Weren't Hydra, the organization involved in World War II, just like the black sheep in our ranks?"

In a word.

Every race will have a few scoundrels, and it's normal for a few Skrulls to have unrealistic ideas about conquering the Earth.

Don't we also have a Hydra on Earth that attempts to conquer the world?

But evil can never triumph over justice.

This is what Nick Fury wanted to convey.

Alexander Pierce felt that Nick Fury was mocking them.

His desire to kill Nick Fury deepened.

But given the current situation, he has no choice but to protect it.

That's why he felt so bad.

Alexander Pierce coughed.

"Chief Fury is right. Every group will have a few bad apples, but we should consider the bigger picture."

"I agree with Director Pierce's point of view."

I agree.

The French and British council members quickly echoed their agreement.

The members of the Eastern Russian Council exchanged glances and remained motionless in that position.

Alexander Pierce's brow twitched slightly as he watched this scene.

The small group, which originally had only five people, was further divided into a two-person mini-group and a three-person mini-group.

after awhile.

The Russian council's projection resumed activity.

"Chief Fury, have you received the first batch of technical data?"

"not yet."

Upon hearing this, Nick Fury breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the Russian council member and said, "They have agreed to my request and are currently compiling the information. They indicated they will contact me as soon as possible to obtain the data."

He emphasized the word "I" in his words.

It expresses a viewpoint.

He is currently the only one who can establish contact with the Skrulls, and the reason he can do so is because he is also the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

But if he is no longer the one in question, it's uncertain whether the other party will still contact him.

Upon hearing this, the members of the Eastern Russian Council exchanged another glance.

Maria Hill, standing to the side, kept her eyes closed, her heart completely unmoved.

Just then.

A voice came from outside into the conference room.

"Chief, Commander, the Sentinel Special Operations team is blocking the entrance."

"They say—"

"They're here to arrest Chief Nick Fury."
