Chapter 172 Iron Legion

"Alexander Pierce, I think you need to give us an explanation about the launch of the space battleship!" At this time, at the headquarters of SHIELD, the other four members of the Security Council also initiated a remote meeting to question Alexander Pierce about the launch of the space battleship.

For a world intelligence agency like SHIELD with great authority and high degree of freedom.

The five major mobile vendors still have very strict supervision over its operation.

This is why the four directors repeatedly appear in the movie to point fingers at SHIELD.

As for why there are only four directors in the five major vendors.

Of course, it is because the remaining one is the representative of the United States and the minister of the Council-Alexander Pierce.

Before he exposed his identity as the head of Hydra, he was in the same boat with Director Nick Fury.

And now, as the superior supervisory and management agency of SHIELD, it suddenly discovered that the space battleship suddenly started to launch an important weapon project recently completed by SHIELD.

They naturally have to ask about it.

"Explain? Does this need to be explained? The director of SHIELD was attacked by an unknown attacker, and many senior agents defected. SHIELD is now facing a crisis. In order to prevent the situation from getting worse, I think it is necessary to activate the space battleship. Moreover, new weapons always need to be tested, right?" Alexander Pierce explained to several directors calmly.

"Is that so? But before the attack, we received a warning from Maria Hill, deputy director of SHIELD, indicating that there was Hydra inside SHIELD, and the attack on Nick Fury happened almost at the same time. I don't think this is a coincidence, right?" The representative of the East questioned.

"Lies, outright lies. On the contrary, the intelligence I have shows that there are no remnants of Hydra. The biggest suspect in Nick Fury's attack is Maria Hill. Now she has defected. Please don't be fooled by the other party's lies." Alexander Pierce said slowly.

Anyway, Nick Fury is dead now.

Maria Hill and other former Fury agents were listed as traitorous agents and have been wanted.

The main relevant evidence has also been recovered.

Now he has the final say in everything at SHIELD.

So he is not afraid of the directors' investigation.

The problem now is Tony Stark and Peggy Carter...

Nick Fury's abnormality started after he met Tony Stark when the Hand attacked the Carter Group.

So Alexander Pierce suspected that Tony Stark and Peggy Carter knew something.

After all, it was these two who cooperated to destroy their two bases in Austria and Sokovia.

Although from the intelligence obtained at the time, Stark and Whitehall should have died, and the main relevant information should not have been leaked.

In theory, he is not involved.

But everyone is afraid of an accident.

It's just that Tony Stark's identity is special, so he can't take action blatantly.

So he can only start with Peggy Carter.

The purpose of launching the space battleship was actually to provide a guarantee. Alexander Pierce was not sure whether Tony Stark would risk the world's disapproval and directly attack the SHIELD headquarters.

"Sir, there is news from the hospital that Director Nick Fury's body is missing." At this moment, Alexander Pierce's secretary hurried into the office and whispered in his ear.

"What happened?" Alexander Pierce frowned and asked.

"I don't know. The hospital has always been guarded, but the body just disappeared out of thin air." The secretary replied helplessly.

"...Okay, everyone, I have some troubles to deal with, so I'll leave first!" Alexander Pierce forced a smile to several directors, and then prepared to close the video call without waiting for their reply.

But at this moment, the entire SHIELD broadcast sounded, and Tony's voice came out of it.

"Everyone, I'm Tony Stark."

"You should have heard a lot of things in recent days, including the assassination of Director Nick Fury, Deputy Director Maria Hill, Phil Collison and other senior agents defected."

"But what I want to tell you is that all of this is a conspiracy of Hydra!"

"Hydra has been hiding inside SHIELD, and the Minister of the Security Council, Alexander Pierce, is their leader."

"Nick Fury discovered their conspiracy, so he was assassinated."

At this time, the remote meeting in Alexander Pierce's office had not been closed, and several directors looked at him.

And Alexander Pierce was too lazy to talk to them, and decisively closed the remote meeting.

Then he began to issue combat orders to the special forces and the aerospace battleship.

"Nick Fury discovered their conspiracy, so he was assassinated."

"In order to avoid the deterioration of the situation, I will take over all affairs of SHIELD on behalf of the superhero organization-the Alliance, and please don't resist."

And as he spoke.

A large number of steel soldiers began to land from the clouds in the distance.

There are tens of thousands of them densely packed together.

In the original time and space, Tony's limited number of iron soldiers was never because of the production speed. This can be seen from the fact that Hammer Group was able to produce so many iron soldiers in a short period of time in Iron Man 2.

What really limited the Iron Legion was that the artificial intelligence Jarvis, which controlled the Iron Legion, had insufficient computing power and could not control too many iron soldiers.

The iron soldiers of the Hammer Group can only be controlled by people through computers and perform rigid operations according to relatively simple programs.

So if you want the iron soldiers to do more delicate work, the best choice is to let artificial intelligence control them.

But Jarvis at that time obviously could not achieve Tony's goal of creating a huge iron legion to protect the entire earth. His idea was actually a model similar to the Chitauri Legion.

In the Avengers, the main force of the Chitauri army that invaded the earth was actually the intelligent mechanical force, which was controlled by the core of the mothership.

So once the mothership was destroyed, all the Chitauri troops that entered the earth were stranded.

And this is why Tony wanted to create Ultron. Because of the technological and material limitations at the time, Tony could not optimize Jarvis from the hardware, so he could only think of a way from the software.

But now the situation is different. By studying the main control program of the spacecraft purchased from the plunderers, obtaining various new materials from the wild land and obtaining a large amount of vibranium in advance, Tony's research on artificial intelligence has progressed rapidly.

Vibranium is not only very powerful as a weapon, but also has excellent performance in information storage - this can be seen from Wakanda's Chimoyu beads in the movie.

It's just that in the original time and space, because Wakanda strictly controls vibranium, Tony's understanding of vibranium is almost still on Captain America's shield.

And now, under Levi's suggestion, Tony will naturally not ignore the effectiveness of vibranium in this regard.

With the addition of new materials and alien technology.

Although Jarvis and Friday today are not as good as the core of the Chitauri mothership that can control millions of troops.

But controlling tens of thousands of steel soldiers at a time is not a big problem.

However, the tens of thousands of steel soldiers that appear in S.H.I.E.L.D. are only a small part of the steel army owned by the alliance.

More Iron Soldiers are actually in the Wild Land, and they are not soldiers, but engineering robots, carrying out various engineering construction work day and night.

As early as more than half a year ago when Tony and Nick Fury had a showdown, Tony and Levi had realized that some industrial production of the Alliance and even Stark Group was no longer suitable for the outside world.

So from that time on, the Alliance has launched a large relocation operation.

All the production lines related to Iron Soldiers have been moved to the Wild Land.

Not just the production lines of Iron Soldiers.

Levi and Tony even plan to establish a complete industrial system in the Wild Land to minimize the Alliance's demand for the outside world so as not to be constrained by any national forces.

In this way, even if the Alliance leaves the Earth as a whole, there is no need to worry about being "stolen" by this group of old six on Earth.
