Chapter 475 It Turns Out that the Old Man's Abacus Is so Loud!
"Open, are you kidding?"
Skye almost dropped his jaw in shock as he stared at the steel plate target that was riddled with holes on the ground.
"What was that just now... space fluctuation?"
Meister, who was standing by, was also shocked, but she quickly calmed down and carefully recalled everything she had just seen from Leni.
"To be precise, it was a microwormhole."
Leni looked very happy and kicked the steel plate target twice.
"I used the space energy of the cosmic cube to form a microwormhole in front of the muzzle, connecting the space coordinates of the target, and then transported the fired bullets through the wormhole to the front of the target, so that the bullets can pass over these sandbags and hit the target directly."
"Microwormhole transport..."
Meister narrowed her eyes and thought about something. Although she had done a lot of research on space, most of her past research was based on experiments conducted under the condition of the existence of magic elements.
The research on space transmission that simply relied on technical algorithms has always remained in the theoretical stage for her.
Unexpectedly, now, she actually saw the celestial beings complete this theory.
"Has the future celestial world really developed to that level?"
With his eager eyes focused on Leni's face, Maest took Leni's hand and begged earnestly:
"I am very interested in this aspect. If possible, I hope you can give me some advice later."
"Ah, this..."
Laini scratched her head subconsciously, feeling a little embarrassed by Maest.
"This, in fact, I don't really understand it myself, and my arsenal only gives me the authority to carry this kind of special ammunition. I'm afraid it's not possible to carry other things."
"It doesn't matter. I know that the technological level of the celestial world you originally lived in must be much higher than ours. It's not possible to get rich overnight, but even if you can research something useful, it's a great achievement, isn't it?"
Maest's eyes were still eager, and Leni, who couldn't resist her, had to agree reluctantly.
I just don't know what results Mester can come up with by then...
After ordering everything that happened here to be classified as confidential, Lainie took Skye and others to leave the Slingshot Base.
However, just as everyone was about to set off to return to New York, Nick Fury's phone suddenly called Lainie.
"Are you on SHIELD 13 now?"
As soon as the call was connected, the voice of the egghead was transmitted to everyone's ears through the communication headset in the cabin.
Jarvis had just connected the phone's voice system to the aircraft's communication frequency band.
"Well, I just came out of the Slingshot Base, what's wrong?"
After looking at Melinda who was driving the plane next to her, Lainie asked thoughtfully.
At this time, the egghead actually called her, maybe there was something she wanted to do herself?
"The previous matter has been settled, and Director Priss has fallen."
"Oh? That idiot has stepped down?"
Lainie raised her eyebrows when she heard this. It was only a matter of time before the idiot named Priss in the Security Council would fall.
Avant-garde Technology had given him so many benefits before, and once Avant-garde Technology collapsed, his good days would naturally come to an end.
But why did Nick Fury call me at this time? It couldn't be just to inform me, right?
"Ahem! President Ellis is very annoyed about this incident, and there are too many big figures involved, so someone must be found to take all the responsibility..."
"So they put all the blame on that idiot?"
Laini sneered, which was also a result of their own actions.
That idiot was so unscrupulous at the beginning, and now the boomerang has come back, it would be strange if those people didn't add insult to injury.
"Well, including Mr. Vice President, in order to save his second half of life, he also attributed all the responsibilities to Killian and Priss."
Nick Fury simply stopped pretending to cough to remind Lainie that Director Priss was a "idiot".
"Heh, participating in the assassination of the President of the United States is a crime that is really enough to make him suffer."
Although she sympathized with the little girl in the Vice President's family, it did not mean that Lainie approved of the Vice President's actions.
He was not competent as a father at all, sacrificing so many innocent lives for his own selfish desires.
"So? Could it be that you called me just to tell me this? Then you really have nothing to do."
Not wanting to continue the conversation on this topic, Lainie simply asked the egghead to explain his intentions.
Nick Fury on the other end of the phone was not annoyed when he heard this, he chuckled and then went straight to the point.
"Because this matter is extremely involved, the people involved include the military, Congress, the President, the Vice President, as well as the CIA, the FBI, and even the IRS guys have also been involved, so who should be sent to arrest Director Priss has become a problem now."
Nick Fury glanced at Coulson sitting opposite him, and the other party gave him a meaningful smile in return.
"Huh? So you thought of me?"
Laini understood what Egghead meant. It turned out that this guy wanted her to do hard labor again.
But this was understandable. As Egghead said just now, the collapse of AIM Pioneer Technology involved a lot of messy accounts.
The earliest can even be traced back to five or six years ago, not to mention the previous Libyan war.
There are many people involved in the pie-sharing in various fields, not to mention the military and the CIA, just the president himself.
As the so-called victim, even his hands are not necessarily clean.
So it is not appropriate for anyone from their side to arrest Director Priss.
Anyone who goes may have the handle on Priss, and they may not be able to arrest him, and they will be laughed at by directors from other countries.
Who is suitable to go?
Obviously, the Security Council itself is the most suitable.
"In fact, if there is no other thing, you don't need to do it. The main reason is that our SHIELD is not suitable to be the first bird now."
Nick Fury did not hide it from Lainie, and simply told Lainie everything that could be said and could not be said.
"The president and the Congress have basically confirmed the promotion proposal for Secretary General Mr. Pierce. After this matter is over, Mr. Pierce should resign from the current position of Secretary General of the Security Council and officially serve as a member of the Security Council."
"Huh?"
Laini almost dropped her jaw when she heard this. Is that old man Pierce going to be promoted to a member of the Security Council?
"Fuck! Is this what this guy is thinking?"
A stone stirs up a thousand waves. Ryan, who realized the key to the problem, couldn't help but exclaimed in Lainie's mind.
It turns out that the old man is so calculating!
Lainie thought that her level was above Pierce before, and she had already seen through the old man's thoughts.
But she didn't expect that this guy was actually in the atmosphere, waiting for Director Priss to fall, so that he could sit firmly in the position of Security Council Director!
Considering the situation of Hydra within SHIELD, it is obvious that this old man is asking for a picture!
Subconsciously putting her right hand in front of her lips, Lainie frowned and thought about how to deal with it.
She must not watch Pierce make Hydra bigger and bigger, otherwise the entire SHIELD will be doomed in the end.
It is right to maintain the balance between the two sides at the moment. Once either side loses balance, the consequences will be like playing Jenga, and the entire tower built with building blocks will eventually collapse.
"So, you want the Avengers to solve this matter?"
After sorting out the reasons, Lainie's face was a little ugly.
She never wanted to see Alexander Pierce as a member of the Security Council, but now she had to become a stepping stone to help him reach the top.
"Well, this is what Mr. Pierce meant. Although the Avengers are still formed under the framework of SHIELD, you are now completely independent, so they can't find fault with it."
Nick Fury rarely used a negotiating tone. Now, after seeing the detailed action report submitted by Coulson before, he has changed his opinion of Lainie.
They can't easily offend this girl...
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't spare any effort yourself. I can also ask Natasha and Agent Barton to help."
Frowning, Lainie heard the meaning of the words of the egghead, and then raised an arc at the corner of her mouth.
"What's the benefit? SHIELD is going to hand over such a big thing to us, we definitely can't make a trip in vain, right?"
Laini deliberately emphasized the words SHIELD and us, intending to emphasize that this is not a private matter between her and the egghead.
"Heh~"
Nick Fury secretly said, as expected, and chuckled.
Coulson, who was sitting opposite, also smiled silently, with a look on his face that said, "There's really nothing I can do about this girl."
"I knew you would say that. Didn't you just leave the Slingshot Base? Then let the Slingshot Base be assigned to the Avengers. Anyway, this incident has exposed the base, so let the Avengers manage it from now on."
"Hey? The sun is rising from the west? You are so generous?"
"Get lost! Take it or not, if you don't want it, I'll give it to someone else!"
"Yes, yes, yes! How can I not want it? Of course I have to take the free benefit!"
