Druid’s Marvel Travels

Chapter 85 Tianma Project

"I will personally supervise the implementation of the Tianma Project."

As a personal experience of the problems caused by the early Tianma project, Nick Fury undoubtedly has some mixed feelings about this project that was originally aimed at developing alternative energy sources and light speed engines.

This is a research project jointly established by NASA, the Air Force, and S.H.I.E.L.D. That is to say, S.H.I.E.L.D. does not have much say in it.

But that was before.

Now the restarted version of the Pegasus project, Nick Fury is going to be completely in the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The U.S. military is no longer the military it was when Carter and Howard started S.H.I.E.L.D.

And he Nick Fury is not more inclined to Howard who is loyal to the US government.

Strictly speaking, his philosophy is very similar to that of Peggy Carter, which is the fundamental reason why he can stand out from countless SHIELD agents and be promoted to the position of director of SHIELD by Pierce, who is actually an enemy.

Pierce was never looking at just America.

Therefore, his successor must not be the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. with insufficient structure.

"The council has approved the transfer of authority for the restart plan. The U.S. military provides military bases for the plan, and NASA provides equipment, but all affairs are led by S.H.I.E.L.D."

Pierce nodded in satisfaction. It must be Nick Fury, and it can only be Nick Fury. Only he can resist all the pressure and develop S.H.I.E.L.D. to what it is today.

Only in this way can Hydra grow stronger.

"You are still so impeccable in your work."

Nick Fury praised that it was because of Pierce's thoughtful arrangement that he relieved a lot of pressure.

Otherwise, he would have to face the world's security threats and think about how to deal with those high-ranking bureaucrats every day. He felt that he might go crazy.

"After all, I have also sat in that position, and I know exactly how much pressure you are facing."

Pierce spread his hands. Strictly speaking, a lot of Hydra's technology was used in this.

Their Hydra is the real master of the Rubik's Cube and those weapons.

"But the U.S. government is so willing to cooperate?"

Nick Fury's smile turned to sarcasm:

"This is no longer just a benefit, but a part of their interest."

Even though the World Security Council is a worldwide organization, it is still composed of representatives of the five major powers.

When the interests of their respective countries are involved, they will still inevitably strive for the interests of their own countries secretly while making sense on the surface.

Therefore, they are all a group of professional bureaucrats, and all kinds of conflicts of interest are trivial.

"It's not a big deal."

Pierce let out an ironic laugh, but the ironic target is a bit intriguing:

"The President of the United States is an enlightened man who won the Nobel Peace Prize last year, and although the Democratic Party is in power, the Republican Party is not completely silent."

He took a sip of his coffee, glanced at Nick Fury who was listening carefully, sneered in his heart, and continued calmly on the surface:

"The World Security Council is dominated by five representatives of the five major powers, including of course the US government - Gideon Malik.

Mr. Malik has a deep relationship with NASA...he is a good friend of Republican Congressman Matthew Ellis. "

Pierce paused, put down the coffee cup:

"And this Senator Ellis... is the presidential candidate that the Republican Party will nominate in next year's presidential election."

"So that's how it is... There are also these doorways."

Nick Fury grinned, which is equivalent to, in order to get some support from the council and S.H.I.E.L.D., the presidential candidate has already started the early exchange of benefits.

However, this can only be regarded as a basic operation for the US general election.

But... the future Mr. President may not have imagined that this member of the World Security Council who will become his adviser in the future is actually one of the secret leaders of Hydra.

Whether on the surface or inside Hydra, in terms of status, this Mr. Malik is even higher than the current Pierce.

Pierce led more of the forces that survived from the Hydra of the Red Skull during World War II, and the new forces that have developed over the years relying on the S.H.I.E.L.D.

The family led by Malik has been one of the first leading families to establish Hydra since ancient times.

That is the orthodox origin of Hydra.

In modern times, Malik is already the biggest leader of the "most orthodox hydra" that has been passed down from ancient times to the present.

Even, they have never given up their plan to welcome back their "god" for thousands of years.

And Malik himself has even contributed to the space exploration program using NASA's technological means-"Far Star Project", in an attempt to achieve their goals.

Of course, he failed in the end.

Inside Hydra, in fact, it is also full of complicated feelings for the Red Skull back then.

In their view, although the Red Skull is the most outstanding member of Hydra for thousands of years, he has actually betrayed the ultimate goal of the organization.

The goal of the Red Skull has changed from welcoming back the "god" of Hydra to ruling the world.

This is unforgivable for the conservatives who call themselves orthodox.

But the Red Skull found NC as a backer, and before NC was about to fall, he gained the powerful power of the Rubik's Cube, and the limelight was the same for a while——

That was also the most beautiful day for Hydra.

At that time, the old school was powerless and unnecessary to pursue the "betrayal" of the Red Skull.

After the reformist led by Red Skull failed, and the Red Skull itself "died in battle", the conservative faction took action to keep part of the essence of the reformist.

"Project Paperclip".

This is also the foundation for the reformist led by Pierce to make a quick comeback.

So, wouldn't it be logical for the two Hydra faction leaders to have some small cooperation again?

Even with the limited help of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, Ellis could have an absolute advantage in the presidential election.

But this kind of thing is obviously not allowed by Nick Fury.

"It is impossible for S.H.I.E.L.D. to covertly influence the U.S. presidential election, let alone participate directly."

A flash of disdain flashed in Nick Fury's one-eyed:

"We are concerned about world security, but we don't have time to help him figure out competitors!"

"Of course we're not going to do that."

Pierce doesn't care, there is no need for S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, isn't it easy to use Hydra agents?

"Presidential candidates will determine his governing principles and commitments, and what Ellis sees... is the tit-for-tat opposite of the current president's ABM's moderate policies, such as tax cuts, tough trade policies, increased diplomatic and military deployments, and relaxation of financial supervision. .”

He saw Nick Fury's eyes widen suddenly, and spread his hands:

"This policy is very marketable and has won the favor of many big capitals. However, President ABM's climate and environmental policy will not be sustainable."

"So, we just need to ask Mr. 'Environmental Advisor' to stop for a while."

PS: There is a one-year difference between the MCU timeline and the actual time of the US president. The reality is that ABM won the re-election in the presidential election in November 2012, and the MCU president in December 2012 has already surpassed ABM’s Matthew Ellie However, even if Ellis wins the general election, he should be sworn in on January 20, 2013. Therefore, the term of American President ABM in the MCU should be one year earlier than the reality, and the general election will start in November 2011.
