A male senator on the right continued, "Given the recent success of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s research projects, we are deciding to send more researchers and provide more resources to support your development of the airborne carrier, and we are considering whether to push forward your request to add a hazard assessment and analysis system to the airborne carrier."
Aircraft carriers—that was the highest-level project that Director Nick Fury had been pushing for to eliminate potential threats!
The congressman's words were undoubtedly a form of blackmail.
If they agree to cooperate, then we will provide more support. If they disagree, we don’t know if we will be able to provide manpower and material support, but the request to add a risk assessment and analysis system to the aircraft carrier is definitely out of the question!
Natasha stood quietly to the side, holding a series of documents in her hands, but when she heard about the hazard assessment and analysis system, she immediately glanced at Director Nick—she hadn't expected that Director Nick had never given up on the idea of adding a hazard assessment and analysis system to the aircraft carrier.
The Hazard Assessment and Analysis System is a brand-new weapon based on big data and precision long-shaped weapons currently under development. If successfully developed, once aircraft carriers take to the skies, this system will be like a Damocles' sword hanging over the heads of all "dangerous elements." Even if dangerous elements hide, the system can detect them and "eliminate" them.
Upon hearing this, Natasha knew that Director Nick would find it difficult to refuse this condition.
After a moment, Director Nick Fury nodded: "The newly developed weapon will be delivered to General Ross this afternoon. At the same time, the relevant personnel will help find and capture the Hulk."
The holographic projection was turned off, and the negotiations came to an end.
"You heard everything, didn't you?" Director Nick, finally losing his previous sharpness and composure, sat down in a chair, rubbed his head, and said to Natasha.
Natasha didn't beat around the bush with Director Nick, asking directly, "Do you really want Gel to cooperate in the arrest?"
"Do you think I'm that stupid?" Director Nick gave a wry smile.
After spending a long time together, Director Nick understood perfectly well that Gol was not the kind of soldier who would blindly obey orders. Gol would refuse such a request, which clearly violated his moral principles, without a second thought, and might even help Dr. Banner escape.
Natasha remained silent.
After thinking for a moment, Director Nick said, "Didn't you say that Ger was stuck with some things? Then we don't need to inform him. We just need to provide General Ross with the necessary support. As for the rest of Peter and the others, you can handle it as you see fit."
Natasha placed the documents on Nick's desk and looked directly at him: "You know I wasn't recruited into S.H.I.E.L.D. by Barton to do this kind of thing a lot, right?"
After Director Nick nodded, Natasha turned and walked towards the door.
"Close the windows and turn off the lights."
As Natasha reached the door, she heard this voice. Even without turning around, Natasha knew it was Director Nick issuing a command to the artificial intelligence.
The lights in the room went out, and the room suddenly became dark. The curtains that followed then blocked out the last glimmer of light in the room.
As Natasha closed the door and turned back, she saw Director Nick's face disappear into the darkness. The expression that flashed across her face for a fleeting moment was completely different from her usual firm and aggressive demeanor.
Natasha didn't know what Director Nick was thinking at that moment, only that he would often stay in the dark like this during many conflicted moments.
Just like her in the red house before, and just like her now.
