"Then you should just keep him. After he confesses all those important people, you should hand him over to the court for trial!"
But Nick was silent.
Steve looked at him in disbelief. "You're not going to hand him over to the judiciary, are you?"
Nick shook his head. "The court can't try him."
Given the value Alexander possessed, those people would only want to exploit him more than he did and would never let him die.
"There must be laws in this country that can punish him!"
Nick looked up: "Steve, we are the ones who can sanction him..."
Steve took two steps back, somewhat incredulous. He had never felt that enforcing justice was so difficult. With the crimes committed by Alexander, sentencing him to death ten times would not be excessive.
He also understood what Nick said. Although Alexander committed such a crime, there were still loopholes that could be exploited.
The United States is a country with autonomous states, and many states do not have the death penalty. If Alexander were tried in those areas, he would most likely be sentenced to life imprisonment.
As long as this person doesn't die, there are many things he can do. To this day, Steve has lost hope in the integrity of the relevant departments. The politics of this country is terrible.
But he believed that there were at least some places in this country that could uphold justice and do justice. Unexpectedly, Nick told him so clearly - no!
Those worthless Hydras can be used to sentence people as an explanation to the public and public opinion.
After all, Hydra has so many cattle and horses, and it is quite intimidating to bring them all out on display.
And those valuable targets, like Alexander, will be retained by them and create greater value as captives.
For example, the digital life Zora, they have not found the whereabouts of this guy yet. Not only Dane saw the value of Zora, but others also saw it.
After experiencing his system being arbitrarily modified and weapons being remotely controlled, Nick's desire for artificial intelligence increased greatly.
SHIELD's AI was originally very powerful, but it was like paper in front of Jarvis and broke through the firewall in a few minutes.
This time it was even more outrageous. All of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s important information was packed up and taken away. When they investigated afterwards, they found nothing.
This kind of information technology has obviously surpassed them by far.
Nick later got some information out of Tony, and even Jarvis couldn't defend against him.
He strongly suspected that the opponent was Umbrella, but he had no evidence. Information crimes have always been the most difficult to obtain evidence, and the opponent's methods were even more sophisticated, making it impossible for Nick to find any evidence.
So no matter how angry Steve was, Nick's determination remained unchanged. After this blow, Hydra was no longer a concern, and he had to focus on longer-term goals.
As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., the reason why he has not been dismissed by the Security Council is because someone needs to help them squeeze out the value of Hydra.
Nick Fury is the knife, and he knows it, but he doesn't care.
Steve had no idea that politicians were just like that. Fairness and justice were never things they considered.
Only profit is their eternal pursuit.
Steve fought hard on the battlefield, never losing his fighting spirit, but here, he felt a chilling chill.
Chapter 949 Backstab
The events in Washington continue to ferment. The news media and relevant politicians will not give up the opportunity to exploit this issue. They work together to hype the incident up and turn it into a news feast.
The news media enjoyed this feast because S.H.I.E.L.D. is mysterious enough and is related to the recently popular Avengers, so even if it is just fabricated news, countless people will read it.
Not to mention that this incident does not require any processing by journalists. It is very dramatic in itself and is full of conspiracy theories that the public loves to hear.
But at this time, journalists only knew that there was an internal conflict in S.H.I.E.L.D., which caused a big mess, but the specific details were still unclear.
Then a group of politicians jumped out. They had nothing to do with SHIELD, but they knew only a few words and wanted to use these things to gain attention for themselves in order to increase their political influence.
Countless monsters who had only a vague understanding of the matter began to speak nonsense in major media news, television stations, and studios.
For a time, the entire media industry was in chaos, and all kinds of contradictory but difficult to distinguish true and false conspiracy theories were prevalent, making it impossible for ordinary people to distinguish them.
Perhaps because they saw that muddying the waters would help conceal the truth, the authorities did not intervene, neither clarifying nor admitting anything, allowing countless true and false information to spread in society, confusing the public.
After Dane withdrew his attention, he no longer paid attention to what was happening over there. Later, Jessica reported to him that she wanted to use Cortana to do some illegal operations, and he agreed.
A few days later, all the details of what happened at S.H.I.E.L.D. that day, as well as related confidential files, evidence, pictures and text information, appeared on the Internet. The files were so large that many people needed a whole day to download them all.
At first, some people thought it was a joke, and that someone was taking advantage of the popularity of this incident to attract traffic. However, after some curious people took a look, they found that the files, evidence, pictures and texts above actually corresponded one by one, forming a complete chain of evidence.
This was like a depth charge, exploding throughout the entire network. Countless people began downloading related files and studying the secrets contained therein. They had never been so serious even when preparing for their postgraduate entrance exams.
The relevant departments responded immediately and began to delete posts and cancel related websites.
However, since the archives are publicly available on the entire Internet, even if they can track all the posts, they will not be able to delete them in the face of the vast ocean of people, and those who want them will always find a way to obtain them.
Controlling the spread of the news was completely futile. Instead, their overreaction made many people who had first-hand information more convinced of the authenticity of the evidence.
Soon, countless anchors, political stars, and journalists eager for fame began to interpret the relevant files. This time, they abandoned the false conspiracy theories they had previously hyped and unified the confessions.
Hydra, the terrorist organization that should have disappeared in the long river of history, has once again entered the public eye.
The onlookers felt it was a bit ridiculous at first, but after thinking about it carefully, they had even fought aliens, met Thor, the god of thunder in Norse mythology, and witnessed Captain America "resurrecting from the dead" with their own eyes. So having one more Hydra didn't seem to be a big deal.
The truth was thus exposed to the public without anyone being prepared, and soon things got out of control.
When the masses learned the truth, they immediately demanded that the government punish Hydra and put them on trial.
This time the incident caused quite a stir, and some people with ulterior motives fanned the flames. Public opinion was boiling over, forcing the relevant departments to make a decision.
So Congress held a hearing a week later and asked the Avengers to explain the situation.
But their real intention is to calm the incident and let the parties involved come forward to deny the incident, because revealing the truth will make many bigwigs lose face.
Hydra has been entrenched in the United States for many years, and many bigwigs have had more or less business dealings with them. Once the Hydra incident is confirmed, who knows how much trouble will be brought out, and it will make many people feel insecure.
The so-called hearing is nothing more than a show to cover up the facts.
In order to ensure the success of this cover-up, they did not choose the Avengers leader Steve, who has a glorious image, but because of this, he may not obey the arrangements of Congress.
Nick is the head of the secret service and is not suitable for being in the spotlight.
In the original movie, the person attending the hearing was Natasha the Black Widow. She was questioned by the congressmen at the meeting and made some harsh remarks.
But this time, because of Natasha's position, Nick did not choose to let her attend, but chose the most obedient Hawkeye.
"Your job is to cooperate with them and calm this matter down." Nick said before he left.
"Things have developed to the point where it's no longer just a Hydra issue. Many people want to make a fuss about this. Don't give them the opportunity to exploit this issue. Let the situation cool down."
Hawkeye nodded to show that he understood.
However, at the hearing, in front of all the congressmen, media personnel, and live cameras, Hawkeye directly acknowledged the authenticity of the online files.
"Yes, everything in that document is true. This is the truth. Hydra is real. SHIELD has been secretly researching super weapons, intending to use them to gain military power that surpasses the world. Project Insight is also real. To some extent, it is an attempt by SHIELD to get involved in a higher power..."
"I fucking know it!"
At this moment, everyone who witnessed Hawkeye's certification roared in their hearts.
Nick was completely stunned. He didn't expect that Hawkeye, who always obeyed him, would disobey his orders and stab him in the back!
Could it be that Loki has bewitched his mind again?
It wasn't until Steve walked into the office that he suddenly realized what was happening.
"It's you!"
Steve nodded decisively, "Yes, it was me. It was me who made all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secrets public, and it was me who made Hawkeye admit it in front of the whole world at the hearing."
“Why are you doing this!”
Nick stared at Steve. He was not stupid. Steve was just a private who might not even be able to play Twitter, let alone steal confidential information from S.H.I.E.L.D. and upload it to the Internet.
To know those secrets, not only his own iris is needed, but also Alexander Pierce's iris. Only with the combined authority of the two can they be fully decrypted.
If Tony Stark admitted it, it would be more credible.
Facing Nick's questioning, Tiff remained expressionless: "People need to know the truth."
He wants to use public opinion to force Nick and the people behind him to give Hydra a fair trial, punishing those who should be punished and imprisoning those who should be imprisoned.
His goal has not changed from the beginning to the end. He will not spare any of SHIELD and HYDRA. He will never give HYDRA a chance to revive again!
Chapter 950: Conception of Intelligent Life and Synthesis
Because of their disagreement on Hydra, an unbridgeable rift appeared in the relationship between Nick Fury and Steve Rogers.
Although the trust between them had been almost gone before, at least on important matters, the two could still maintain consensus, but now they are really heading in the direction of becoming strangers.
After the exposure by Hawkeye, the official position became very passive, because many confidential files circulated on the Internet could no longer be hidden.
In order to win back the public's trust, Capitol Hill had no choice but to order a major investigation of Hydra and to put all guilty Hydra members on trial, while promising to accept supervision from the public.
The Security Council was very dissatisfied with Nick's performance in this incident. They believed that Nick had lost control of the situation.
In addition, the order to investigate Hydra had already been issued, and S.H.I.E.L.D., as an organization that had been infiltrated and riddled with holes, was obviously no longer suitable to continue carrying out this mission, so he was simply dismissed.
Not only will he be removed from office, but the entire SHIELD organization will also be disbanded by 24, and everyone will be subject to investigation. Congress will set up a special task force to carry out this work.
Originally, the Avengers also needed to be investigated, but Jessica and Natasha had left SHIELD early and disappeared, making it impossible for them to find anyone.
Steve Rogers is a war hero who just woke up from the ice recently. In addition, he has a huge reputation as a national idol, so no one dares to trouble him.
Hawkeye's outcome wasn't bad because of his meritorious testimony and Steve's guarantee. He was released by the task force after just a formality.
Although Tony Stark is an Avenger in name, he has not been troubled because he has participated in very few events, is a big capitalist, and is a celebrity with social influence.
After all, they have already contributed to resolving the incident and just escaped from a vortex not long ago. Congress cannot push them too hard and make them anxious.
As a result, the people who were blamed became the core members of S.H.I.E.L.D. headed by Nick Fury. Phil Coulson, Maria Hill, Melinda May, Sharon Carter and others were all questioned.
Nick Fury felt something was wrong on the first day of the task force's investigation. No matter how he looked at the current situation, it seemed like someone was trying to put the blame on him.
He knew that his background was a bit weak. Over the years, he had embezzled public funds to build secret bases and safe houses, and to conduct some personal "little experiments".
All these "little problems" he had committed in the past were covered up by Alexander Pierce.
Although he believes that everything he does is for the great cause of peace for all mankind, others obviously do not think so.
They will only think that there is a conflict of interest between Nick Fury and Alexander. After all, they have a close personal relationship. As the head of the secret service, has Nick never noticed any problems?
Faced with such accusations, Nick found it difficult to justify himself.
And he has an even more fatal problem. Confidential files published on the Internet revealed that Nick Fury was involved with the Skrulls.
Alexander also secretly wrote into the file his discovery that Nick was secretly transporting supplies to the Skrulls living in the starship. This was a big bombshell. Compared with Hydra, it is obvious that the "ball traitors" are more hateful.
So on the second day after being controlled by the task force, Nick escaped from the confinement hut they had prepared for him. He was very decisive.
He was then wanted worldwide. In order to avoid arrest, he fled directly to Europe and tried to gather his subordinates there, but found that only one in ten of his men were left, and the situation was even worse than in China.
Most of the capable members have even disappeared and their whereabouts are unknown. Given the current situation of S.H.I.E.L.D., it is unable to track them down.
Nick realized that someone was "hunting" them, and it was definitely not an official American agency...
In the laboratory of Umbrella's Clinton district headquarters, Dane is holding a seminar with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s artificial intelligence and network technology experts.
Engage in technical discussions on topics related to artificial intelligence life.
This is a very large topic, and during the discussion it is inevitable that the relevant content will be expanded and eventually extended to other categories of science.
In order to prevent the inspiration from being interrupted, Dane immediately asked more scientific researchers from other professions to join in.
Zhao Hailun brought in experts in the fields of genetic engineering, neural networks, and biochemistry to listen in. As the discussion progressed, more scientific researchers joined in.
"Is the level of consciousness of the artificial life form you envision really as powerful as you claim?"
When Zhao Hailun saw the description in the plan, he expressed doubts about this artificial intelligence that was still on paper.
Cortana's functions are already very powerful, but her values are far from as exaggerated as described in the plan, which makes people wonder if this plan is just a fantasy.
"This is just my most conservative estimate. You should have met Zora. He's a miracle. Under the scientific research conditions of the last century, he relied on old-fashioned computer systems to convert his consciousness into data and even became a digital life."
"According to what he said, even now, it would be difficult for him to reproduce such a miracle again."
According to Dane's new design for Cortana, today's computers are no longer able to carry her consciousness data. They need a new type of computer to carry Cortana's consciousness.
So the idea of quantum computer was put forward.
Bill Foster is obviously a very knowledgeable person in this area, and he does provide some very useful advice.
Dane extracted a very special metal substance from the embryo of the Celestial God Group. After testing, it was found that it had the ability to self-stabilize its atomic structure.
This means that its microstructure is very stable and the degree of molecular movement is low, so it can maintain a relatively stable temperature state.
