17. The first rays of the wind
In recent days, an explosive piece of news has appeared on the North American continent and then quickly spread to the whole world like a sudden storm.
It completely preempted the hot spot on the day it appeared, completely trampling under the feet of the speculation in society in recent months about the Asgardians coming to Earth.
No one knows where this news came from, but it's like a black dot on a white piece of paper that, once it appears, can no longer be ignored.
The extraterrestrial beings who "visited" Earth in 94 have come again with malice, and this time they want to destroy the Earth!
An interstellar war is about to break out, just weeks away.
In fact, every once in a while, similar variations of this unruly-sounding rumor will appear and circulate on the Internet, but most of the time, it will turn out to be some spoof news.
This time it was the same, it was first fermented on the Internet, because it was said with a nose and eyes, so it was reprinted on the Internet as a joke by many people.
If it had been like this, it might have been forgotten for a short time, as had been the rumors of the past, but things quickly changed.
A mainstream media outlet in New York called Clarion Daily News was the first to report on the incident, and in a press release, they proved the truth of the rumor from NASA.
This makes many people fall into a kind of confusion and confusion.
The discussion of the interstellar war of the Kree immediately became intense.
The online scolding soon spread to reality, and the Daily Clarion was selling well, and they continued to report on the incident, highlighting all sorts of details.
The filling of those details perfectly satisfies the desire of the melon-eating masses for the "truth".
"Hello audience friends, I'm Eddie. Bullock, right now at NASA's press conference. ”
Investigative reporter for Planet Daily. Bullock stands in front of the camera, and behind him is the large conference hall that is bustling with people.
The journalist, who had been urgently summoned back from New Asgard, was huddled at NASA headquarters with his colleagues from around the world.
The news of the "Kree invasion" that broke out in recent days was an out-and-out news flashpoint, and although it was caught off guard by the Daily Clarion this time, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Planet was clearly unwilling to give up just like that.
He sent his best reporters to broadcast the official news live, and the editor-in-chief thought that the so-called interstellar war was just a lie, and NASA's press conference today will debunk this nonsense.
However, Eddie himself, who was chattering in front of the camera at this time, was pessimistic.
Venom's host has a hunch that he will definitely catch a big news story today, but good or bad is not certain.
A few minutes later, in the midst of anxious waiting, NASA staff finally entered, and everything was in order according to the process of the press conference.
Eddie and the camera behind him locked on the press officer, who picked up a photograph and stood up, facing the lights of the constantly shining camera, he coughed lightly and said loudly:
"This is the latest image captured by our deep-sky telescope, and based on the analysis of experts, we are now almost certain that there is indeed an unidentified alien force trying to cross the Kuiper Belt one astronomical unit away from the Sun..."
As soon as the press officer's words fell, they were drowned out by the microphones raised by the reporters and the chaotic sound of questions, and everyone was asking questions, which made the press officer a little stunned.
The beating of the flash made him seem to be a little speechless, and he tried to maintain order, so he shouted:
"Calm down! Calm down, ladies and gentlemen, we can't say for sure if it's the rumored Kree, and although the appearance of those ships is similar to the Kree fleet we observed in '94, we still can't confirm for sure..."
"Bang"
The door to the conference room was pushed open at this moment.
A group of agents in black uniforms and sunglasses rushed inside.
They violently pushed the reporters away, forcibly interrupted the press conference, and took the NASA press officers away in full view.
"The press conference is over!"
One of the agents raised his hands and made a stop-all gesture as he shouted to the reporters:
"Everybody, leave at once!"
This sudden situation caused the scene to enter chaos and get out of control.
Everyone in the room looked at the press officers who were being escorted away, and the indifferent agents who were expelling the reporters, and they naturally had a conspiracy theory, associations about the government blocking news and something.
Including the viewers who are watching the live broadcast, they all have such associations.
What was originally just an ethereal rumor is now like a bomb being dropped, shattering the shell of the suspected lie and revealing the cruel truth.
The aliens are really coming!
And they're really going to start an interstellar war!
———————————
"What a show."
At the base of Raccoon City, in a nondescript office.
Nick sitting in a chair. Fury held a hot drink and smiled a little sarcastically, looking at the video clip of a press conference about NASA being forcibly interrupted by agents on the projection in front of him.
The picture on the projection was very chaotic for a while, and the confrontation between the agents of the Sky Eye Society and the NASA press personnel was full of drama.
It's like a classic clip from those movies.
"The news is confirmed."
Beside Fury, Commander Hill crossed his arms and looked at the projection coldly, and she said:
"I called Waller, who said that the agents weren't from her or the Tfrees."
"They did it on their own, and they did it unreported. The most outrageous thing is that those agents and the staff who were taken away mysteriously disappeared after leaving NASA headquarters, as if they had evaporated from the world. ”
"That's why I said that this scene was well acted."
Frisch took a sip of the hot drink, and he rested his feet on the edge of the table relaxedly.
He snorted and said:
"From the Clarion Daily report about the Cree invasion to the interrupted NASA press conference, everything was like a textbook revelation that no one was behind it, and it was an insult to our intelligence."
"What is certain is that this is just the beginning, and soon, there will be a statement from some lawmaker with a strong sense of justice, declaring that the earth will never surrender or something."
"Then there will be some 'energetic' social activists who will get moving, marching, petitioning, and the panicked people will be quickly stirred up."
Fury rubbed his forehead, and he said in a low tone:
"There will also be some celebrity politicians with considerable social influence to join them, and then add firewood to this lit fire, constantly playing with public opinion, manipulating public opinion, and using votes to push the top government leaders into the wagon of war."
"No one dares to declare appeasement, let alone propose peace talks, and once the Cree fleet arrives in the solar system, this activity will inevitably reach a climax."
"What can Waller do?"
Fury shook his head, he gulped down the hot drink from his cup, and said:
"How can she and Tfrey refute all this? And how to calm down the people who have been captured by fear step by step? ”
"People are telling the truth! The Cree did intend to start a war. No one is lying, the truth is hard to discredit, and anyone who dares to question it at this time will be suspected of being a 'soft bone' who is ready to surrender to the Cree. ”
"Even those of us have to thank 'them', at least these actions of the Skrulls will make most of the earthlings unite to prepare for war."
"From leaking secrets to revealing secrets, everything is under their control, it's really a good show."
Fury sighed again, retracting his feet and tossing the cup into the trash.
He got up from his chair and stopped looking at the slightly excited live reports of the reporters on the projection.
He walked over to the railing of his office and looked into the huge space below, where many of them were painted with S. L.D. Black and White Eagle's sapient apparatus is busy there, and a large information hub is being erected.
For some time to come, the center will be responsible for tracking the movements of the identified Skrulls, and after the Hunters' observations are temporarily withdrawn, all observations will be provided by the robots scattered around the world.
The management of this information center will be handled by the members of the Cult of the Mechanica, which will never be replaced by the Skrulls.
"You know what? Hill. ”
Fury leaned on the railing, looking at the robots busy in the silence below, he looked at the robots, and said to Commander Hill, who was carrying his hands beside him:
"When S.H.I.E.L.D. was still around, when Merlin came up with the Wisdom Plan, I used to be skeptical... The scene in front of me, where some secret organization uses intelligent machines to monitor humans, is one of the futures that I am worried about. ”
"But now, I'm the kind of person I feared the most, and I'm going to use the power of the Mind to destroy a group of conspirators hidden in Earth."
Director Marinated Egg chuckled, and he said:
"That's how wonderful fate is."
"Without the help of these robots in front of me, I can't imagine how we can fight the evil tricks of the Skrulls."
A flash of fear flashed in Fury's eyes, and he whispered:
"If we don't intervene, then with the help of this war started by the Kree, the Skurulls who single-handedly started the war will be like a fish in water in the chaos, and they will take the opportunity to occupy a high position, in public opinion, in the form of government, and in civilization."
"They will lead the earthlings and the Kree to fight viciously, and the earthlings who are struggling will be regarded as cannon fodder and sent to the battlefield of destruction, and if the earth wins, it will inevitably be broken, and they can absorb the leadership of civilization and use the earth as another base camp for the Skrulls."
"And if the Earth loses, they will not be in any danger, they can set sail in search of the next world that can be turned upside down, and the Earth will be a sacrifice in their endless war with the Kree."
"Don't be so pessimistic, Fury."
Hill responded:
"Even without us, the superheroes of this world will not be deceived all the time, there will always be some smart people who will be aware of the existence of the Skuruls, and they will not let those crazy people ruin the future of the world."
"Yes, there will be a fight."
Fury shook his head, he sighed, and said:
"But that won't be a good thing, the Skruls' miraculous ability to stealth transform them is destined to be the most difficult provocateurs in the galaxy."
"Think about it, a group of superheroes are plotting to uncover the secrets of the Skrulls, and yet, there are several Skrulls spies among them."
"Betrayal happens, and with that comes a lack of trust."
"When you step on the battlefield, you don't know who your enemies are and who your friends are, and the good brothers who follow you may stab you in the back at any time, and the relatives and lovers you want to protect may be disguised by the Skruls."
"In that case, who can win?"
Director Lu Dan outlined a frightening direction, and he said in a quiet tone:
"The Skrulls don't even need to take matters into their own hands, they just need to reveal one betrayal after another, and the powerful superheroes will start killing each other, and when trust is gone, any group will collapse."
"Can you imagine the catastrophe that Carol and Clark would have caused by a big fight on the East Coast? Think again of the runaway Tony running rampant through the world with the Mechanical Legion, and the mad heroes who start fighting among the people..."
Fury tightened the railing in his hand, and he said with a clear gaze:
"Ciel, I'm a little glad that S.H.I.E.L.D. has collapsed, if things really go as far as I imagined, S.H.I.E.L.D., infiltrated and manipulated by the Skuruls, will definitely become a killing machine that suppresses the will of resistance in this world."
"Without S.H.I.E.L.D., there will be the Eye of the Sky."
Hill Says:
"Presumably Waller should have a headache now, what you can think of, your best disciple can't be ideal, right?"
"I've already informed Waller in advance."
Fury glanced at Hill and said:
"She'll be prepared, but there's no time to worry about Tianyan now, we still have to do our own thing to avoid everything slipping into the worst."
"Speaking of which, I should probably meet up with Merlin."
Frymour rubbed his chin and said:
"If we fail, Merlin will have to be ready to clean up the mess."
"He..."
Hill shrugged her shoulders, and she said to Fury:
"I don't think he has time to deal with the Skruls, but you're right, in this situation, I really need to make a Plan B, and I'll be responsible for contacting him."
"Hmm."
Fury nodded, he raised his wrist to look at the time, and he said:
"I'm going to talk to the Inhuman representatives, and if I can, I might have to go to Attillan, I've already made plans, and the Inhumans who are close to the Cree are very important."
"If they don't cooperate, everything will be over."
"And that 'Empress'!"
Hill reminded:
"She's also a very important target."
"I know, Natasha, Barton and Lang are in charge of this."
Fury stood up straight, he reached out and brushed his black blindfold, and he said:
"The people of Skrull are so active right now, as long as we're not unlucky, we'll soon have news about the 'Empress.'"
The boiled egg clenched his fists, and a cold light flashed in his single eye, and he said:
"There is an opportunity hidden in any crisis, and the bastards who chase chaos will step into the trap, and their greed will bury them."
"This time, we're going to wipe out all the miscellaneous people who think they have the upper hand!"
