Marvel's God-level Mage

Chapter 146 The Intruder General Ross

Although Alexander Pierce is the supreme leader of Hydra in New York, he is actually a politician in essence, a very sophisticated politician, otherwise, he would not be able to sit on the position of Secretary-General of the World Security Council .

Now it is Zhou Yang who has gotten rid of the appearance that the US government is right to snatch the spiritual scepter from him. If Pierce really wants to forcibly snatch the spiritual scepter from him, maybe there will be no one present except the nine who are most loyal to him. Except for the snakehead members, everyone else will turn against him.

Not to mention the soldiers under the US military, but the agents of SHIELD under him, most of them come from various institutions in the United States, including federal and individual state governments, and they are all Americans.

Even if there are a few non-Americans, they will not easily stand in line with this kind of thing.

No one who can become a senior agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. is a fool. S.H.I.E.L.D. has cooperated closely with governments around the world, but they are not without conflicts, especially when it comes to law enforcement authority. There is a big problem here.

An obvious example is when S.H.I.E.L.D. agents launched operations in various places, the S.H.I.E.L.D. Yes, so that it can operate normally.

Another obvious example is the current S.H.I.E.L.D. space carrier. After Stark repaired and perfected the engine of the space carrier, the space carrier already has considerable combat capability, but even so, they still It can only stay on the high seas east of the United States, and cannot enter the territory of the United States at all.

The planes that participated in the war against aliens in Manhattan before were all US military planes, not S.H.I.E.L.D. fighter planes.

So the authority issue here is very serious, especially when it comes to the struggle with the White House and the Pentagon, S.H.I.E.L.D. may not be able to win it.

To be honest, without Zhou Yang's intervention, even if Alexander Pierce took everything away, no one would say a word.

But Zhou Yang has the identity of a special envoy of the White House, especially the identity of this special envoy is aimed at S.H.I.E.L.D., this is troublesome.

However, with Alexander Pierce's sophistication, of course he would not confront Zhou Yang head-on, that would force a conflict between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the White House.

So Pierce just smiled lightly, then directly took out his mobile phone, and while making a call, he said loudly: "I'll call Mr. President now and let him decide the ownership of this thing, how about it?"

"As long as Mr. President gives the order, I don't have any objections." Unexpectedly, Zhou Yang agreed to Alexander Pierce's proposal without any hesitation, as if he only needed such a procedure. With this set of procedures, he can do business.

Although Pierce had some doubts in his heart, he still called the White House and explained the relevant situation to the president.

After a while, Alexander Pierce handed the phone to Zhou Yang, Zhou Yang reached out and took the phone directly: "Hello, Mr. President... Yes, I understand, I will give the things to S.H.I.E.L.D."

Zhou Yang hung up the phone, then passed the spiritual scepter in his hand forward as if he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said very politely: "I'm sorry, Mr. Secretary-General, the responsibility lies."

"It doesn't matter, we all have our own tasks." Alexander Pierce directly grabbed the handcuffs on the ice box.

At this moment, Loki's spiritual scepter is still tightly sealed by the ice box of nearly 100 degrees below zero. If he wants to take it away smoothly, he can only rely on the handcuffs on it.

Alexander Pierce did not grab the handle on the ice box, but directly grabbed the handcuffs on it. There is no doubt that Rumlow must have communicated and contacted him.

The corners of Zhou Yang's mouth turned up slightly, but he didn't know how many people noticed this scene.

Among the people present, in addition to Alexander Pierce and his Hydra agents, there are more loyal and Nick Fury, agents loyal to the governments of various countries, and each of these agents is human. As for It's hard to say how many people can see the problem of Hydra from this scene, and it depends on personal luck in the end.

"Then goodbye, Mr. Secretary-General, I have to rush to the White House to report to Mr. President all the details and progress of this stop." Zhou Yang turned his head to look at Stark, and said hello directly: "Tony, what do you want to do?" Shall we go together?"

"Okay, I want to go together, but wait a moment, I have to make a few calls first." Stark immediately picked up the phone and started to communicate after finishing speaking.

After all, this is Stark Tower, agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., soldiers of the U.S. military, agents of the FBI, police officers from New York and Manhattan, all of them will come in and out here.

Who knows what will happen in the middle, so Stark must contact Pepper and come back to watch everything, so as not to happen something that everyone doesn't want to see.

Not to mention that he had been in outer space for so long before, and he always had to get in touch with Pepper, lest the other party worry.

At this time, a military off-road vehicle suddenly stopped in front of the Stark Tower, followed by an elderly officer who was wearing the same army combat uniform as Zhou Yang and jumped out of the vehicle, followed by A large group of U.S. soldiers unceremoniously commanded the soldiers to build a Stark building, and surrounded it firmly, and this person was none other than the retired General Ross.

General Ross led his men in stride, smoking a cigar, and shouted loudly at the same time: "Where is the thing? Daniel, where is the thing?"

Before Zhou Yang could speak, Alexander Pierce came out, looked at General Ross with an ugly expression and said, "General, Mr. President has already handed over the scepter to S.H.I.E.L.D., so I won't bother you." . Besides, haven’t you retired now?”

Alexander Pierce now hates Zhou Yang because he gritted his teeth. No wonder he handed over the spiritual scepter so easily before. It turned out that everything was just to delay time. Once General Ross arrived, it would be even more difficult to take away the spiritual scepter. up.

Alexander Pierce knew General Ross. S.H.I.E.L.D. not only performed tasks on the mainland of the United States, but also performed tasks in South America and around the world, but the tasks they performed often conflicted with General Ross.

They all deal with extraordinary events, and it's hard to say who is in charge of the events.

If it is at home, then there is the White House that can centralize the mediation, but once it is abroad, especially when it is relatively chaotic, and the US military has a relatively large number of troops stationed in South America, General Ross will often take away the right to deal with incidents related to S.H.I.E.L.D. There are conflicts between them, not just once or twice.

"What scepter, what nonsense are you talking about?" General Ross's words made Alexander Pierce's heart thump, and then General Ross continued: "I was ordered to receive all the alien weapons in Manhattan. As for you As for retirement, I did retire, but this does not prevent me from finding a job in the Pentagon. But the scepter you mentioned, and Mr. President... is it the scepter in your hand?"

As soon as the words fell, General Ross grabbed the ice box in Alexander Pierce's hand. The thing inlaid with dark blue gemstones looked very advanced at first glance, and it could alarm the White House. The power it could exert must be terrifying. General Ross Immediately interested.

"General, things have already been handled by S.H.I.E.L.D.." At this time, he had already regretted his guts. He never thought that General Ross came here for the alien energy weapons in the entire Manhattan area, not for this spiritual power. stick.

His sudden mention aroused General Ross's interest, and now he is in trouble. General Ross cannot be restrained by a presidential order. If he mixes up, it is not surprising that he will beat you up.
"No matter what it is, I'll take it over and have a look first." How could General Ross let go so easily? As a former high-level American military, their old-fashioned personality and behavior have never changed. Pass.

Perhaps in Zhou Yang's eyes, S.H.I.E.L.D., and the Hydra hidden in S.H.I.E.L.D., are quite troublesome existences, but in the eyes of the U.S. military, those so-called worlds that are not even official U.S. institutions The Security Council isn't even a fart at all.

That is to say, Alexander Pierce was also a member of the US State Department *, he was considered half of himself, and he might have punched him in the past.

"General, do you want me to call the president again? He has given clear instructions just now, and this matter should be handled by S.H.I.E.L.D.." Alexander Pierce took out the phone in his hand again, the LCD The name and corresponding number of the President of the United States are clearly displayed on the screen.

As the commander-in-chief of the United States, the President of the United States can be said to be the immediate boss of General Ross, especially those who are in charge of overseas operations, and often receive orders from the Situation Room of the White House. Familiar, not to mention that General Ross already has his own relationship in the White House. The White House contacted Zhou Yang before, and they were all contacted through him.

This is also the reason why Zhou Yang is going to make a fuss today. To make things difficult for Hydra, it is only one aspect to get rid of the relationship with Hydra. The most important thing is to get in direct contact with the White House to deepen his importance in the White House. , so that it can play the most important role when things come in the future.

Once the Hydra lurking in S.H.I.E.L.D. is exposed in the future, S.H.I.E.L.D., which has already been mixed with fish and dragons, will definitely not be reliable. In the later superhero civil war, there will be a gap between superheroes and American officials. At that time, they The importance will be greatly increased.

To become one of the gods, Zhou Yang's own efforts are not enough. He also needs great support from the outside world. Among them, if he can get official recognition from the United States, he may even support him to become a god like Nick Fury. character, then his future road will go much smoother.

However, it requires careful planning step by step, and it is not that simple.

Not to mention that there is a US presidential election every four years. Although the current president has only been in office for three years, he has a great chance of being re-elected in the future, but in another four years, once he changes, many things will happen. Immediately there will be earth-shaking changes.

Zhou Yang had no intention of getting involved in the dispute between General Ross and Alexander Pierce.

Alexander Pierce, whose official status is slightly lower than the deputy secretary of state of the American government, belongs to the third level of the diplomatic hierarchy, and General Ross is now the deputy secretary of the Pentagon Department of the Army. He is a fourth-level figure, but he is a bureaucrat in the official system of the United States after all, so he is still on an equal footing with Alexander Pierce.

That is to say, Nick Fury still respects Alexander Pierce, which gave him the opportunity to make trouble within the S.H.I.E.L.D. , the water cannot be poured in.

I'm afraid Nick Fury didn't figure it out until the end, when and why did Alexander Pierce join Hydra?
