What would a planet that had just been invaded by a powerful alien civilization and whose defenses were destroyed without any resistance suddenly receive sufficient funds and technical support do? The answer, of course, is to sell everything it has and devote all its strength to developing the military.
Under huge security anxiety, countless developed countries that previously relied on finance, services and a few high-tech value-added industries to support their economies have begun to rapidly transform into the heavy industries they have abandoned.
Even if they cannot develop directly and comprehensively like the three strongest countries that firmly hold the dominant position in the Human Union, they must at least take over part of the supporting industries and obtain enough benefits from this drastic change to ensure that they will not fall to the point of being dispensable.
Various huge projects that sound exaggerated are launched one after another.
Whether it is the establishment of an orbital defense circle and spaceport around the earth, or the complete fortressization of the moon proposed by some scientists and military theory experts, ordinary people feel a strong sense of unreality.
It seems that the ambition for space hegemony between the two poles of the world during the Cold War and the desire to explore the universe have suddenly returned.
The only difference is that this time it is no longer a competition among humans, but a unity and cooperation to fight against the threat from outer space.
After all, if we encounter a similar alien invasion again next time, only those countries with important space industrial capabilities will be able to receive the greatest degree of protection.
In comparison, small countries with little presence will just disappear if they disappear.
It's like in developed countries, if there's some unrest and dozens or even a dozen people die, it will become big international news, and even many heads of government will need to come out to express their condolences.
But for poor and weak countries with frequent wars and little sense of existence, even if warlords and terrorists with hundreds or thousands of people massacre villages and towns, there may not even be a scrolling subtitle in the news.
This is true even though everyone has only one life and one death. It is naturally even more impossible for equality to exist in a country composed of human beings.
Therefore, if you don't want to become a victim, you have to sharpen your head and try your best to squeeze into the upper reaches of the human network system. The closer to the upper level, the safer it is.
And those backward areas that have no industrial base at all and where the average citizen has not received prenatal education and can barely read or write, naturally became the victims of this cruel elimination round.
The top leaders of the Human Union hypocritically allocated them a large amount of cheap or even free food as compensation, and deliberately "raised pigs" in these extremely poor and backward areas, allowing local gangs and various criminal industries to flourish, and eventually turning them into lawless places similar to the lowest level of the human empire hive world in the Warhammer universe.
By creating an environment where the residents of the area are forced to become shameless and evil in order to survive, they are able to provide a steady supply of evil souls as currency.
Of course, as a way to win over the local ruling class, the People's Federation will provide legitimacy for the corrupt rule of these guys. Even if they are overthrown by riots initiated from the bottom up, they can still take their wealth and families to safe developed countries to spend the rest of their lives.
As the saying goes, meanness is the passport of the mean, and nobility is the epitaph of the noble.
If you want to be a person with conscience in a place full of villains, the price you pay may very likely be the destruction of your family and the separation of your spouse and children.
Whether you want to be a good person or a bad person often does not depend on yourself, but on the environment around you.
Just as Zuo Si expected, advanced technology and huge resources did not lead to a significant improvement in the living standards of ordinary people on Earth in this universe. Instead, social problems such as militarism and increasingly serious polarization emerged.
A small number of people began to become richer and richer, and had more and more power in their hands, but more people were eliminated because they were unable to adapt to the leapfrog technological upgrades and could not find decent jobs at all.
For example, middle-aged people who previously enjoyed high salaries in Internet companies were ruthlessly fired simply because they were unable to learn new programming languages.
What’s worse is that the development of artificial intelligence and fully automatic mechanization has made many industries no longer need humans as labor.
Even many service industries can use drones and bionic machines to replace original people, and hundreds of millions of manual laborers are discarded by capital like waste and garbage.
The horrific wave of unemployment has swept across countless countries like a tsunami, and unemployed people can be seen wandering aimlessly on the streets.
In order to prevent these guys from causing trouble, the government has introduced policies to provide the most basic food, housing and medical care for free, while at the same time working at full capacity to produce hallucinogenic and addictive drugs without too many side effects for them to take, and using various cheap electronic entertainments to numb their minds.
And as long as you are willing to have children, you can receive a pretty good subsidy.
Many idle couples even regard it as a means of making money.
Many big cities have begun to show a trend of developing in the cyberpunk style. Facts have proved that without the corresponding social system and ideological progress, overly advanced technology will not bring any benefits to ordinary people, but will become a terrible disaster.
Of course, all of the above situations are still in the primary stage. Although they have aroused concerns among some sociologists with a conscience, they will soon be drowned in the massive amount of explosive information.
After all, compared to the dazzling new technologies reported in the news every day, as well as the warlords, terrorists, Avengers and various superheroes who have obtained Chitauri weapons and equipment, boring social discussions simply cannot arouse the interest and attention of too many people.
Especially after the government provided food, housing and medical care, many ordinary people who suffered setbacks and lost their ideals chose to lie down and immerse themselves in the world of drugs and virtual networks.
Through this extremely low-cost method, the People's Federation successfully resolved the severe social unrest that might be caused by large-scale unemployment, while also invisibly accelerating the differentiation of social classes.
Of course, none of the above has anything to do with Coulson.
Since the establishment of the special response team, he has been very busy and has slept no more than four hours a day. His already sparse hair is almost falling out.
Not only do they have to complete the commission of the Supreme Sorcerer Ancient One, they have to send those who have lived in Kamar-Taj for a long time back home one by one and resettle them properly, but they also have to put out fires all over the world.
In particular, a hacker group calling itself "Rising Tide" somehow managed to take photos of several of the people, and then posted them online to compare with previous news.
As a result, their identities were exposed and they were frequently harassed, making it impossible for them to return to normal life.
Coulson was filled with disgust from the bottom of his heart for these bastards who invaded other people's privacy under the banner of so-called "freedom". With the help of the power of S.H.I.E.L.D., he captured a lot of people and without saying a word, he began to perform a memory restoration operation on them.
At the beginning, these guys acted quite tough, and kept talking about human rights, freedom of speech, and wanting to see a lawyer, but within half an hour they all honestly told us everything they knew.
As arrogant as they looked before, they looked as cowardly now. Some of them even became incontinent. They huddled in the corner of the cell with bruised faces and noses, shaking uncontrollably like frightened birds.
joke!
Due to long-term lack of sleep and the need to deal with too many things, Coulson is no longer the good guy he usually is, but has become extremely irritable and angry.
And he has no time to play word games with these selfish people who do performance art.
What's more, according to the results of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s investigation, the Rising Tide organization is not clean at all.
Maybe there are indeed many young people who devote a lot of time and energy to innocent ideals, but the senior executives who hold control are secretly accepting bribes.
However, since this organization also adopts a decentralized structure similar to that of the Harpers, it is almost impossible to catch them all in one fell swoop.
Even most members of the Rising Tide organization don’t know who their “comrades-in-arms” who are fighting alongside them in front of the electronic screen are, or where they are at the moment.
"How about finding out who posted those photos online? Is someone following us?"
Staring at the young man in the temporary detention room, who was only wearing a pair of shorts, with blood all over his face and crying for mercy, Coulson, who had very serious dark circles under his eyes, asked the question that concerned him most.
"I'm sorry, sir. This guy is just an insignificant pawn like the others before him. He knows nothing at all and was simply attracted by the slogan of the Rising Tide Organization."
Grant Ward wiped the blood off his fist and gave his answer with a helpless look.
This really cannot be blamed on his incompetence, or on SHIELD's poor network investigation and tracking capabilities, it's just that the number of people in the Rising Tide organization is too large.
Globally, conservative estimates put the number at hundreds of thousands, with more than 140,000 in North America alone.
When they are transmitting information, they will go online at the same time at the agreed time, and then disappear collectively after the transmission, which creates great difficulties for the investigation and arrest work.
After all, maybe SHIELD can track and locate these targets at the same time, but if they want to catch people, they must send out field agents.
Since the confidentiality level for anything involving magic and supernatural powers starts at at least level six, the FBI and the police must not be allowed to get involved.
But the problem is that they don't have that many people, so they can only randomly pick a few lucky ones to try their luck.
So far, they have arrested more than one hundred people who were suspected of being the spreading nodes, but without exception, they knew nothing about anything.
Of course, the most important thing is that as the adopted son of the Hydra leader, Grant Ward’s real mission has never been to assist Coulson, but to keep an eye on the other party and send out intelligence continuously.
As Alexander Pierce's plan to seize power officially enters the countdown, a huge net hidden in the shadows has been spread.
The SHIELD, which had long been infiltrated like a sieve, was the hardest hit, with more than half of its functional departments under the surveillance and control of Hydra.
"Damn it! Are we going to catch them one by one like this? What if they find out that the number of members in the organization is decreasing and hiding?" Coulson complained, rubbing his swollen forehead.
Although he had known that what he had accepted might be a difficult mess, he never expected it to be this difficult.
Not to mention tracking down the lost antimatter and the mastermind behind the sale of energy weapons and Taogang armor on the black market, even the seemingly easiest resettlement work had such a huge mistake.
It was at this moment that Coulson finally realized how amazing it was that Nick Fury, whom he had often complained about in the past, had been able to maintain his condition for such a long time without any major problems.
Just when Grant Ward was about to say a few words to comfort him, a voice suddenly came from the aircraft's internal communication equipment.
"Sir, the Rising Tide organization has begun to collectively transmit information online again. Do you want to listen?"
"certainly!"
Coulson answered in the affirmative without hesitation.
The next second...
A processed electronic synthesized sound began to echo throughout the aircraft.
The reason why this thing is called a flying vehicle instead of an airplane is mainly because its appearance has nothing in common with traditional airplanes. It is not limited to flying within the atmosphere, but can also be used as a landing capsule or shuttle to travel to and from outer space.
SHIELD built this thing mainly for technical verification and flight data collection. There are only less than ten of them in the world.
This modified ship not only has extremely powerful firepower, but also has a super laboratory that combines magic and technology, a large living area and places for leisure, entertainment, fitness, and sleeping, and an area for detaining and interrogating prisoners.
Together, the interior spaces are equivalent to a ten-story apartment building.
In terms of flight speed, combat capability and comfort, it is many times more powerful than SHIELD's sky carrier.
After all, the sky carrier is still based on Earth technology. It has neither a protective shield nor a very fast speed. In front of energy weapons, it is basically a living target and a flying coffin.
In the original plot, Hawkeye launched a raid with only a small number of elite troops and almost sank the entire sky carrier, which shows how fragile it is.
But the aircraft Coulson was riding in had an energy shield system, so it could withstand the concentrated fire of energy weapons for a while.
The reason why he was willing to take on such an important task was because he fell in love with this "big baby" at first sight.
No man can resist such temptation.
But at the moment, Coulson was no longer in the mood to appreciate his moving castle. He was concentrating on listening to the voice that the Rising Tide organization was sending to the outside world.
"Now how are you going to find us, catch us? Drop us from the sky in a plane?
Or just send someone to storm our house?
No matter what threats and intimidation you use this time, we will never remain silent, nor will we choose to back down.
Because the truth that you have been trying to hide is already known to everyone.
No country or relevant agency can stop the rising tide.
You won't be able to find us, and you will never know the identities of the members within the organization.
We will rise up and expose those who would hide the truth from the world.
Please remember that no matter what happens our determination will not waver in the slightest.
The world needs the truth! The people have the right to know the truth! "
As Coulson gave his impassioned speech, a mocking smile appeared on his face. Without even looking up, he asked, "Fitz, how many targets have you located?"
"Fifteen thousand four hundred and twenty-three, sir."
A young male voice came from the communicator.
"Where are the nearest ones?"
Coulson asked another question immediately afterwards.
"There is a node in the east of Los Angeles, California that has a particularly strong signal, and is suspected to be a node of the Tide Rise Organization."
Leo Fitz quickly marked the projected map.
After getting the information he wanted, Coulson gave an order directly: "In that case, let's go visit the other party now."
"No problem. The flight path has been corrected. We will reach our destination in seven minutes at most."
The driver immediately gave the exact time.
At the same time, Grant Ward quickly put on his power armor and entered the airborne bay with a twelve-man field team.
If you look closely, you will find that the view outside the window is not the blue sky and white clouds in the atmosphere, but the endless black space.
At this moment, the aircraft is rushing towards the ground at a right angle of nearly ninety degrees.
But the people inside did not feel any overload caused by the acceleration of gravity, and there was not even any shaking or noise.
When it was less than three or four kilometers away from the ground, the aircraft suddenly stopped steadily in less than a second under the action of the anti-gravity engine.
Following closely, fourteen field agents including Coulson pressed the button and jumped down from the airdrop chamber on the side.
Since they were on a street in the city center, they even activated the optical cloaking device on their power armor during the descent, and finally landed silently around a small van that looked a bit shabby.
An agent used the advanced equipment on his power armor to see through and scan the entire interior of the car, and soon reported through the communication device: "Sir, there is only one young woman inside. No weapons such as guns and knives were found. The target threat level is low."
"Are you sure that the voice on the radio just now was hers?"
Coulson asked in an uncertain tone.
Because the sound insulation of the shabby second-hand van was obviously not very good, he could already hear the young woman inside passionately venting her emotions in English, as if SHIELD had committed some unforgivable crime.
In particular, the things listed in it were completely opposite to what he knew.
Although Nick Fury often behaved inhumanely when he was the director, he was not really so bad as to capture all the super-powered people and make them disappear from the earth.
Just the opposite!
SHIELD's attitude towards these people is to first conduct a danger assessment, and then try to make contact with them. Those who are willing to become agents will be sent for training, and those who are unwilling will be made to sign a confidentiality agreement and continue to live as ordinary people.
Only those who are particularly dangerous and cannot control themselves, or those who have serious anti-social and anti-human tendencies will be captured and locked up.
However, the Rising Tide organization apparently misunderstood something and thought that SHIELD was a secret police organization that specialized in doing dirty work for the government.
Heaven and earth’s conscience!
SHIELD is a transnational and cross-regional law enforcement agency established under the authorization of the Security Council, and its purpose has always been to protect the earth and human civilization.
But Coulson obviously didn't know that all this was actually related to the Hydra within himself.
As soon as SHIELD finds a person with super powers, Hydra may follow suit and kidnap him/her, then take him/her to a secret laboratory for research and brainwashing.
Over time, those who know the truth will naturally blame SHIELD.
When Carter and Howard were working on the Paperclip Project, they probably never dreamed that the anti-Hydra organization they founded would eventually become the base for Hydra's rebirth.
"Yes, it's her."
After restoring the electronic sound through advanced instruments, another accompanying agent quickly gave a positive answer.
moment!
The young girl who was speaking passionately into the microphone in the last second, had her expression frozen in the next second.
Because she was not blind, she could see the field agents around her who had removed their invisibility and were wearing power armor, as well as the eagle-like logo on their bodies.
"Hi!"
Perhaps it was to ease the embarrassment, or perhaps it was because she felt guilty, in any case the woman forced a smile and waved her hand.
But unfortunately, no one present showed any leniency towards her just because she was a beauty.
Grant Ward was even more merciless as he covered her with his head and then tied her hands with restraints.
未来大名鼎鼎的振波女——黛西·约翰逊就这样被两名壮汉强行拖拽着率先返回了飞行器。
看着她不断挣扎狼狈的模样，科尔森忍不住笑着问了一句：“你觉得这是条大鱼吗？”
“这要等审讯结束之后才能知道，长官。不过我有一种预感，这一次我们肯定能成她身上得到些有用的线索。”
格兰特·沃德下意识握紧了拳头，显然是打算直接二话不说先按照惯例来一套大记忆恢复术，完全没有半点怜香惜玉的意思。
作为一名神盾局特工兼九头蛇间谍，他可没有不打女人这样的坏习惯。
“搜查一下这辆车，看看是否能找到什么有价值的信息。”
科尔森给撂下这句话之后便带着另外几名特工先一步离开了。
格兰特·沃德则任劳任怨的开始检查这两破旧的二手面包车，尤其是那些包括笔记本电脑在内的电子设备。
就在他打算借助动力机甲上的接口插进去进行破解的时候，突然注意到在车内的角落里有一本红色封皮、表面像是燃烧火焰的古老书籍。
由于在培训班里接受过魔法教育，本身也有LV3的施法等级，因此他立刻便感受到了强烈的魔法波动，小心翼翼的将其捡了起来。
当手触摸到的一刹那，海量的知识如同潮水般涌入大脑。
还没等反应过来发生了什么，原本封闭的书页就自己翻开，展现出里边各种各样关于巴托地狱、召唤魔鬼和进行交易献祭的方法。
“这……这是？！！！”
格兰特·沃德整个人都惊呆了，不管是声音还是紧握着书的双手都在不受控制的轻微颤抖。
他简直不敢相信自己居然如此幸运，居然能在执行任务的过程中获得这样的至宝。
毕竟眼下整个地球都在巴托地狱第九层领主左思的庇护下，其强大的实力但凡不是瞎子都能看得到。
而且在学习《位面概论》这本书的时候，神盾局特聘的魔法老师伊格维尔伏也说过，相比起喜怒无常的混乱恶魔，召唤守序的魔鬼是相对比较安全的。
没有任何犹豫！
格兰特·沃德直接开启动力机甲将这本书贴身藏好，继续装模作样的对车内其他东西搜查了一番，最后带上几样看上去有价值的东西转身离开。
他根本不知道，自己前脚刚走，两个身影就从黑暗的角落缓缓走了出来。
“你确定把魔鬼之书交给他是个明智的选择吗？要知道在九头蛇内部，他现在连个小虾米都算不上，很难说在亚历山大·皮尔斯倒台之后能有什么作为。”
巫后伊格维尔伏用略带玩味的语气说出了自己的观点。
“他能有什么作为并不重要。
重要的是把九头蛇内部遭到恶魔影响的部分清理干净。
主人说过，九头蛇必须是守序的，而且必然要在未来的进程中发挥重要作用。
如果你再继续散播混乱、在这个世界召唤恶魔，那就不要怪我不客气了。”
在说这番话的时候，巴萨扎的眼睛里闪烁着令人毛骨悚然的神力，明显是在发出眼里的警告。
伊格维尔伏则仿佛什么都没看到一样笑着回应道：“放心，我可不是傻瓜，更不会愚蠢到去干扰和破坏主人的计划。而且我这几天不是已经没有再跟那个叫做旺达的小女孩见面么。”
“哼！”
巴萨扎冷哼了一声，显然对这番说辞连一个字都不相信。
因为他能感觉到，随着利用明星身份大肆收割凡人的信仰与崇拜，再结合自己体内那来自无底深渊的力量，巫后正在朝着类神力的方向转化。
越是这种关键时刻，伊格维尔伏就越需要混沌魔法、黑暗神书这样的强大外部邪恶力量作为催化剂。
两人就这样相互注视着对方的眼睛足有一分钟，随即启动传送魔法消失在原地。
……
与此同时，远在佛罗里达州的卡纳维拉尔角航空航天发射场，钢铁侠托尼·史塔克正站在一个庞大无比的组装工厂内，看着数以万计的巨型机械手臂正在以极快的速度把各个模块组装到一起。
从完成了大概百分之三十的雏形不难推断出，这是一艘真正由地球设计并建造的太空战舰，光长度就由足足五公里，尾部巨大的反物质超光速引擎更是占据了舰体足有五分之一。
数门宏炮和能量武器阵列依然安装完成，光是看着都让人感觉狰狞恐怖。
能量护盾发生器部件也在一个接一个的被安装到指定位置。
不用问也知道，这艘尚未完工的太空战舰就是地球目前科技水平与工业能力的综合体现。
虽然放在战锤宇宙的人类帝国，充其量也只能算是巡洋舰或轻型巡洋舰，只能勉强达到标准战斗舰的门槛，但对于人类来说却是通往星辰大海的钥匙。
类似标准的战舰在全球范围内一共只同时开建了四艘。
之所以能如此快吃透各种花费高价购买来的先进技术，钢铁侠和他的史塔克工业集团在其中发挥了及其重要的作用。
“她真漂亮，不是吗？”
班纳博士站在铁架子上居高临下俯视着这艘战舰的全貌不由自主发出了感慨。
毕竟在此之前人类玩过的最大战争武器航母也不过才三四百米而已。
可现在居然一下子就跨越到以公里为单位计算长度。
据说未来还要建造更大的战列巡洋舰、大型巡洋舰和战列舰。
托尼·史塔克一脸憔悴的笑着点了点头：“是啊，她可是我们这段时间没日没夜工作的成果，那感觉像是面对即将出生的孩子一样。等第一批四艘战舰建成，地球就有了属于自己的外太空防御力量，甚至是在太阳系内部开始殖民获取更多的资源。”
“你有多久没睡过觉了？”
班纳博士转过深表情严肃的问了一句。
心思细腻的他无疑注意到了对方浓重的黑眼圈和布满血丝的眼睛。
“额……大概几十个小时吧。不用担心，我服用了最新生产的抗疲劳药物，应该还能撑上几天。”钢铁侠一脸无所谓的回答道。
“该死！你该不会是患上了焦虑症导致的失眠吧？”
班纳博士不愧是拥有七个博士学位的天才，一眼就判断出了托尼·史塔克的精神状态有些不对劲。
或者说从齐塔瑞人入侵结束之后这家伙就表现的格外神经质，整天都沉浸在近乎疯狂的工作中。
“我没有！我不是！你别乱说！”
钢铁侠赶忙祭出否认三连。
但仅仅几分钟他便败下阵来，苦笑着叹了口气解释道：“好吧，我承认自己的精神状态有点问题，而且一躺下进入睡眠就会不断地做噩梦。这件事情你千万不要告诉其他人。”
“因为在那场战争中感受到了自身的弱小和无力？”班纳博士继续追问道。
“没错。
我不知道其他人怎么想。
但看到那些外星人依仗着高科技对我们进行碾压，成千上万无辜的平民遭到屠戮，原本繁华热闹的城市变成废墟，我内心之中就充满了痛苦和自责。
如果我们变得更强大一些，这样的悲剧是不是就可以避免呢？
所以我们必须要变得强大起来，要让那些外星文明对我们产生敬畏和恐惧。
索斯阁下曾经说过，在这个宇宙中唯一能让所有智慧生命都能够听懂的语言就是暴力。
只有当地球拥有能够毁灭对方的能力时，其他文明才会发自内心的尊重我们。
看看雷神托尔背后的阿斯加德神域，为什么能够把双手沾满无辜者鲜血的洛基带走而不是接受我们的审判？
归根结底还是我们太过于弱小了。
当然，我并不是对托尔有什么意见。
他是个性格直爽且有正义感的好人，但这并不意味着阿斯加德可以一直骑在我们头上拉屎。”
在说这番话的时候，钢铁侠语气中透露出强烈的不甘与愤恨。
连他自己都没有察觉到，仅仅是与左思的几次见面，自己的思维和价值观就已经开始被魔鬼亲王的力量所影响。
相比之下，反倒是长期因为与另外一个人格浩克进行对抗的班纳博士仍旧保持着内心的平静，抬起手拍了拍前者的肩膀安慰道：“放松点，你的神经绷得太紧了，这样下去可不会有好结果。更何况这又不是你一个人的责任，人联和神盾局不是都已经开始着手发展太空力量了吗？”
“不！这就是我的责任！我必须肩负起的责任。”
说罢，托尼·史塔克径直走向操作台的电子屏幕前，开始检查上万条大型机械臂的运转情况。
如果仔细观察就会发现，这些机械臂内部无一例外流淌着黑色的烁油。
确切地说，如果没有烁油的帮助，以地球现如今的技术水平和工业实力，想要在短时间内组建一个太空战舰装配工厂简直就是痴人说梦。
What's more, in order to obtain funds and technology, the high-level representatives of the Human Rights Union have already packaged the earth and human beings together and listed them on the market. How could they care about the potential risks brought by a mere crude oil?
However, Dr. Banner and Iron Man did not realize that their conversation had already been heard clearly by the Hydra agents who were responsible for monitoring.
About a few minutes later, the audio and video recording was sent to Alexander Pierce's computer.
The North American snakehead burst into laughter immediately after reading it.
"Hahahaha! The only language in the universe that all intelligent life can understand is violence?
Well said!
It is unexpected that after experiencing the invasion of the Chitauri, Tony Stark would be so close to Hydra's ideas and values.
It seems that the original plan needs to be slightly modified. It would be best if he could be absorbed into our organization."
"I'm afraid this is not easy. Because Tony Stark is not an ordinary person. He is rich and a member of the Avengers. He is also the helmsman of a large capital group." Sitwell reminded carefully.
But Alexander Pierce shook his head gently: “No, you don’t understand.
People like him are more persistent in what they believe in.
We only need to expose a little bit of the evil plans and ugly deeds of the top leaders of the People's United Front, so that he will be completely disappointed with the existing government and even hate it.
Then Iron Man will accept Hydra's philosophy and become our man.
By the same token, Captain America Steve Rogers can also take similar actions to make him see clearly the true colors of the country he is defending with his life.
Remember, if you want to change a person's will, you must first destroy everything they love and believe in.
Freedom and democracy are all lies.
Even the Declaration of Human Rights, which is highly praised by countless people, now seems to be nothing more than a piece of ironic black humor.
The world does not need freedom, let alone democracy, they will only bring endless chaos and indulgence.
Power and elite rule are the only way out for mankind.
It is our Hydra's innate mission to lead mankind out of the earth and into the universe to establish a powerful empire in the Milky Way.
Imagine what would happen if Captain America, the hero who destroyed Hydra in World War II, shouted "Long Live Hydra" to the world in front of the media? "
"Haha, I see what you mean."
Sitwell grinned in a sinister and cunning smile.
There is no doubt that as he completely transformed himself into a demon, Alexander Pierce began to become more and more dangerous, able to see through the weaknesses in the humanity of each Avenger and exploit them.
Iron Man's weakness is his strong sense of guilt for being an arms dealer in the past, and his desire to take on more responsibilities to atone for his sins; Captain America firmly believes that his motherland represented justice in World War II. Once he discovers the truth hidden behind it, he will fall into anger and confusion under the huge mental shock, and even feel that he has been deceived and fooled.
Therefore, Hydra is no longer obsessed with eliminating the threat of the Avengers, but instead plans to divide and disintegrate them from within.
After all, without the stumbling block of Nick Fury, there is no one else in the entire SHIELD from top to bottom who can be a match for Alexander Pierce.
As Director Lu Dan's apparent friend and old leader, he can even make the current director Maria Hill act entirely according to his will.
In this way, a secret rebellion plan against Tony Stark and Steve Rogers began quietly.
In order to avoid causing unnecessary suspicion, Hydra did not give a direct answer, but instead released some seemingly plausible clues to make the two people suspicious and secretly investigate on their own.
They are like fish attracted by the bait, biting the hook without realizing it.
Obviously, with the appearance of Zuo Si, the original timeline has become unrecognizable, like a runaway train rushing towards a completely unknown direction.
Regarding this kind of change, Gu Yi, who had long since let go of everything, had no intention of interfering at all.
Every day he still just stays in Kamar-Taj, imparting his knowledge and experience to little Annie.
She was extremely fond of this quirky little creature who seemed to have been conceived by some secret method, and she wanted to devote all her efforts to the girl.
This undoubtedly made Mordo jealous to the point of going crazy.
The Supreme Sorcerer suddenly sent away all the spellcasters, which made him very angry as he had been planning for a long time.
Because he was just one step away from winning over the most powerful people among them to become his good helpers.
But now there is nothing.
Finally, driven by a huge psychological gap, Mordo set his sights on the Eye of Agamotto, which represents the identity of the Sorcerer Supreme.
In his opinion, as long as he mastered the power of time, he could surpass Ancient One and stand at the pinnacle of all wizards.
He was so obsessed that he didn't think carefully about why Ancient One, who had this artifact that could easily spy on the past and the future, didn't foresee that he would steal the Eye of Agamotto, and just left it randomly in the warehouse...
