Chapter 30 Waiting
S.E.L.D.!
This intelligence agency, originally established by the US government, has been constantly moving towards the international community in recent years and completed various intelligence work under the supervision of the United Nations.
This has also made this intelligence organization, which is not well-known in the local area, become more and more famous internationally, especially during the Cold War that is about to end. In order to continue and develop S.H.E.L.D., at the suggestion of Alexander Pierce, S.H.E.L.D. is brought closer to the United Nations and no longer obsessed with the peaceful development of a country or even a region, so that S.H.E.L.D. can better serve the world in international affairs.
The reason is good, it is very glorious. But what is the real situation? With the end of World War II, SHIELD was established! Every intelligence agency has its own responsibilities and tasks. So who was their opponent during the Cold War? Apart from the hairy bear that has overwhelmed the whole West, who can become the opponent of this bald eagle?
However, as the US-Soviet confrontation is about to end, many staff and intelligence agencies established due to the Cold War will face the fate of dismantling or even abolition, and the same is true for SHIELD!
At this time, the boss of SHIELD was not the UN Security Council, but the US government. In their eyes, their only enemy was about to disintegrate, and they finally won the final victory. But after the victory, is it still necessary for those intelligence organizations and institutions to exist due to the Cold War?
The result is of course a "no". Even if the White House allows it, Congress will not agree to continue. Isn't it just for the final victory after decades of investment in large amounts of funding? But now that the Cold War is about to end, do they still have to continue like this? Of course no, you must know that in this long confrontation, it is not only the Soviet Union that failed.
As the saying goes, "A thousand enemies hurt, and eight hundred will hurt themselves!" The Soviet Union fell, and the United States was not feeling well. A large amount of funds were invested in the defense budget, and it was necessary to know the situation in other places.
Moreover, after the fall of the Soviet Union, a large area of economic gap will be left. It is really "gold" everywhere. By that time, the economic losses suffered by the United States over the years will be compensated. They don't have time to make money, so they can't care about those "useless" organizations.
Page Carter, one of the founding members of SHIELD, naturally does not want to see SHIELD be dissolved and split. Besides, she has a selfish intention. A search mission that has been carried out in SHIELD to this day was promoted by her and Howard. But if SHIELD really let the government take over, they will definitely stop this project that is meaningless to them.
After all, no one is willing to put in such great energy and budget for finding a "dead person".
Although SHIELD is still calm and there are no signs, she knows that the potential undercurrent is constantly surging.
Carter also wanted to make suggestions to the upper class, but the politician's words left her speechless.
"Ms., the war is over, and it's time for our lads to return to his family."
Yes, the war has ended, and even the last opponent has only one breath left. Carter really has no reason to maintain the existence of S.H.E.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.
Not to mention that this is not Carter's style, but there must be an opponent. The bear has fallen. Looking at the whole world, who else can become an opponent of the Great America, an alien? That must be found!
At this moment, Alexander Pierce stood up and proposed that with the end of the bipolar pattern, the whole world would have a great chance of not appearing in the first two world wars. However, with the disintegration of the Soviet Union, it also brought certain disadvantages. Local conflicts and frictions in sensitive areas will become increasingly fierce. Don’t ask if it is true. Even if there is no conflict, Pierce will make him conflict, and he will never allow S.H.E.L.D. to be disbanded.
Pierce believes that in the future, SHIELD can shift its focus to this aspect of work, prevent and prevent events that harm the world, and nibble all dangers in the bud.
Carter thought about Pierce's proposal. Pierce's proposals were all concluded through the best strategic analysts of SHIELD, but for some reason, Carter always felt something was wrong.
However, Pierce said one thing very well. S.H.I.E.L.D. must not be cut off. As an organization established since World War II, she knew that there are too many incredible secrets in this world. There are many unknown items collected by S.H.E.L.D. alone. For example, the Cub of the Universe is the best example. This item, called a "divine weapon", is the fundamental basis for the Red Skeleton to destroy the world.
This world is far from as simple as it seems!
Thinking of this, Carter couldn't help but strengthen his determination, and at this moment, an emergency in New York suddenly gave SHIELD a chance, and the Holy Lord appeared in their sight.
In the command room, thanks to one of its big shots, SHIELD has hardware configurations for the outside world and even the era that can be called black technology, and even the military may not even be equipped with these equipment.
This alone shows the difference between a biological son and a godson. The Pentagon spends a lot of money every year to purchase defense equipment from Stark Industry, while SHIELD is equipped with advanced equipment that they do not have. Nowadays, even if you have money, you can't buy the best ones.
Carter sat upright in the middle of the war room. As one of the three founding members, Chester Phillips was old and had long since retreated to the second line. Howard Stark was not even mentioned. If it weren't for the necessary things, it wouldn't have happened.
Now she is the only one left in SHIELD to control the overall situation, but she knows that she is old, and that both energy and physical strength are no longer left before.
"Maybe I've really picked a suitable helm for S.H.E.L.D.."
Carter looked at the energetic Alexander Pierce on the side. This middle-aged man was in the golden age of a man, and he might be able to take over this burden.
But for some reason, whenever Carter had this idea, he always felt a sense of loss in his heart, as if the sixth sense was warning him.
"It seems that I'm really old!"
Carter shook his head and attributed all this to his age. He was both impressed by the unforgiving years, but the unwillingness in his heart refused to dissipate no matter what.
"Steve, can I really wait for you?"
...
Compared to Carter's uneasiness, Pierce kept giving orders in the command room. This was not the first time he did this. In fact, as the previous generation gradually grew older, the entire S.H.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E
But only Pierce himself knew what he wanted.
