Chapter 242: Dividing S.H.I.E.L.D.
There is no rush to transform the three sky carriers, just take your time, this thing is just a big toy for now. Just put it in the geosynchronous orbit and use it as a satellite.

As for precision-guided weapons, they will basically be gone after this batch is used up. Richard is not going to continue to equip it with these things. It is already a sky carrier and a spacecraft. How can it not have some advanced attack weapons?

It is not difficult to install the magic particle railgun. The three sky carriers have enough space for installation.

After adding magical defenses to the three sky carriers and letting them operate in synchronous orbit, Richard returned to the Blue Planet.

SHIELD.

After several days of turmoil, S.H.I.E.L.D. finally began to recover. Nick Fury began to review S.H.I.E.L.D. internally, and all personnel related to Hydra were cleared out.

This time, Hydra's Insight Plan caused almost all Hydra personnel to jump out, and S.H.I.E.L.D. suffered heavy losses and was seriously injured. However, after the cleanup was completed, S.H.I.E.L.D. was completely stabilized.

Then Nick Fury came to see Richard in the name of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the World Security Council. Richard agreed to meet with him.

"Good day, sir." Nick Fury, who had just recovered, greeted Richard.

Richard waved his hand: "Why is there no one in SHIELD and the Security Council? Are you asking a seriously injured person to come?"

Nick Fury knew the reason very well. It was because Richard killed all those people in the World Security Council without saying a word last time. How brave must those newcomers be to dare to hang around in front of you?

They have worked so hard to climb to a high position. What if they make Richard unhappy and get crushed to death by him?
"Sir, thank you for your support to our SHIELD during the crisis." Nick Fury is now very clear about the gap between their SHIELD and Richard, so he kept a low profile from the beginning.

He is not like those idiots in Hydra who think Richard is a more powerful superhero.

"No need to thank me. I'm not interested in your internal conflicts unless they provoke me." Richard said.

"Even so, it was you who helped to clean up those Winter Soldiers." Nick Fury continued, "But sir, those three helicarriers belong to S.H.I.E.L.D. after all, you can't just take them away like that."

"The three sky carriers belonging to the SHIELD have been destroyed by you. The current three sky carriers are mine."

"Sir, we all know that the three helicarriers were not destroyed."

"Your computer still has instructions to destroy three helicarriers. It's obvious. Besides, I've already said that this is a notification, not a discussion with you."

"Understand?"

"The comfort of the entire Blue Star rests on my shoulders. I don't have time to talk to you guys here." After saying that, Richard waved his hand and the charcoal-haired man was teleported away from the floating tower.

As for S.H.I.E.L.D., it is not certain whether it can continue to survive.

Hydra did this not only in America, but also in all SHIELD bases around the world. Without the Sky Carrier's Insight Project, it would be useless even if they captured SHIELD.

These countries have always been coveting the advanced technology possessed by S.H.I.E.L.D. and the wreckage of the Chitauri alien warships.

Just after Nick Fury returned to S.H.I.E.L.D. and reported the news, the next day, armored vehicles and trucks full of soldiers rumbled into the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.

Originally, I wanted Nick Fury to negotiate with Richard to take back control of the three sky carriers. Now that the negotiations have failed, the matter of SHIELD also needs to be resolved.

It can be said that the governments of various countries have long been unable to bear it, and now Hydra has done this, giving them the best excuse. Nick Fury obviously realized it, but he has no way to do it now, after all, S.H.I.E.L.D. was established with the support of these countries.

Now that these countries no longer support it, SHIELD will naturally not be able to continue.

The American military convoy arrived at S.H.I.E.L.D., and a large number of soldiers surrounded it, and then began to enter the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D., and S.H.I.E.L.D. did not resist. Soon a general came to Nick Fury's office with several adjutants and members of the World Security Council.

"Nick Fury, we meet again!" General Ross was in a very good mood when he saw Nick Fury's appearance. The last time SHIELD used treacherous tactics to seize the Hulk, the military lost face.

Now SHIELD has run into big problems and has been completely taken over by the military. SHIELD may have to be completely cancelled.

"General Ross, it's not a pleasure to see you at all." Nick Fury sneered.

"I was really surprised to see you were still alive. God knows, when I received the news of your death, I was ready to open a bottle of champagne to pay tribute to you."

"I'm sorry to disappoint you." Nick Fury's already dark face became even darker, and he almost couldn't help but pull out his gun and give the other party a brain hole, making him stay with Kennedy.

"Okay, we don't have time to waste time talking nonsense. Let's take a look at this first! This is a document jointly issued by Congress, the President, and the World Security Council."

"I am here to formally inform you that from now on all SHIELD bases will be temporarily closed for investigation. Before the investigation is completed and the final results are obtained, all SHIELD affairs will be directly managed by our military! All Hydra members in SHIELD must be supervised by the military. At the same time, all SHIELD agents are prohibited from going out and are subject to investigation and questioning!"

"This is the original document. It has been signed and stamped by the President and the Family Security Council. The document is effective from now on!"

General Ross threw the document to Nick Fury. He had now figured out how to deal with this charcoal-headed man in front of him. He wanted to settle both old and new accounts together.

"I'm sorry, I can order SHIELD to cooperate, but I can't control the Avengers now." Nick Fury shrugged.

"Nick Fury, are you crazy?" When General Ross heard that Nick Fury refused to follow orders, his face immediately became serious, as if he would take action if anything went wrong.

"The Avengers is just a simple and loose organization. Although SHIELD has the authority to govern it, it is their business whether they obey or not." Nick Fury said with a smile.

Among the Avengers, the Hulk, Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Ghost Rider are not agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. They are very free to move around, and only receive some allowances. The only S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are Captain America, Falcon, Natasha, and Hawkeye.

The remaining Hulk and Ghost Rider Johnny are not agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. either.

Even many of SHIELD's technologies are supported by Iron Man, such as the sky carrier's anti-gravity engine and the large cold nuclear fusion reactor. These are technologies provided by Tony. SHIELD also has some good technologies of its own, such as optical stealth technology.

"What's going on? Isn't the Avengers a superhero fighting team under SHIELD? How come they don't have jurisdiction?" General Ross didn't believe it at all.

"If you don't believe me, you can check it yourself. You can check the S.H.I.E.L.D. files now." Nick Fury spread his hands. When the S.H.I.E.L.D. was in turmoil, Iron Man Tony was also having a hard time.

After the villa was attacked and Tony finally escaped, he asked SHIELD for help, but there was no response at all. He didn't know that SHIELD was in the midst of Hydra's chaos at that time. Hydra took control of the base and no one cared about him at all.

As for asking Richard for help, he couldn't bring himself to do it. Especially not long ago, Richard had deliberately mocked him. Later, when he heard that Pepper was taken away by Richard for protection, Tony felt grateful.

Without any worries, Tony decided to have a good time with these terrorists.

After General Ross took over SHIELD, he asked people to conduct an investigation while taking over various technical data of SHIELD. He also notified the Avengers team to assemble.

However, the superheroes who have received the news are not happy with the military, especially the Hulk and Johnny. They are not willing to become the military's thugs, and even Captain America is very resistant.

At this time, the president of America was kidnapped, and the kidnappers were from the military. Colonel Rhodes of the military kidnapped the president while wearing a war machine.

The entire America was in chaos. S.H.I.E.L.D. was under investigation, there was a traitor in the military, and the Avengers went on strike again. It can be said that for a while no one went to save the president.

On the other side, the terrorists split into two groups, one group continued to capture Iron Man Tony, and the other group wanted to kidnap Pepper Potts.

These terrorists were injected with a desperate virus, which is very strange. After injection, there is a possibility of self-explosion, just like a powder keg. It is extremely powerful and can directly cause the body to be destroyed, which can be called a human bomb. The other type is fusion.

After successful fusion, these people will become superhumans with great strength, no fear of guns, strong recovery ability, and the ability to control high temperatures.

The terrorists who have acquired this ability are very arrogant. When they learned that Pepper was hiding in the Richard Mage Tower community, they drove over to rob her.

As a result, he ran directly into those Amazon magic swordsmen who were eager to try.

When Richard dealt with the Winter Soldier not long ago, many Amazon Magic Swordsmen had a very exciting fight, but there were still a large number of Amazon Magic Swordsmen who had not taken action and were just watching.

Now that these terrorists ran here, the Amazon magic swordsmen immediately rushed forward.

These terrorists are okay at beating up ordinary people, but each of the Amazon female warriors can be called a little superman, especially after they become full-time magic swordsmen.

There were dozens of terrorists but they were not enough to share. In the end, they were completely wiped out before they even entered the block.

Iron Man Tony doesn't have to worry about Pepper Potts. Besides, the ruins of his villa have been cleared and the basement is finally opened. With dozens of iron suits deployed, it is only a matter of time before those terrorists are wiped out.

On the third day after the President was rescued by Iron Man, a meeting about the fate of S.H.I.E.L.D. was being held inside the Capitol on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.

There were no reporters or members of parliament present, and no one was allowed to attend the hearing. The outside world had no idea about the news, and didn't even know that this incident had happened.

This meeting is completely confidential and will not be made public. Participants include President America, military representatives, the World Security Council, Iron Man, and S.H.I.E.L.D.

Of course, in addition to the main personnel, everyone brought additional entourage and translators. I don’t know why these people brought translators when they should all know English.

The people Nick Fury brought were Captain America, Black Widow, and Hill, the ninth-level agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think everyone knows the purpose of our meeting here today."

"So I won't waste my time. Our time is precious. Let's get straight to the point."

A white man in his fifties or sixties stood up first and began to announce the official start of the meeting.

"First of all, S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury! What's your explanation for the great turmoil that has occurred in S.H.I.E.L.D. over the past period of time, resulting in serious losses of property and personnel?"

"A large number of Hydra spies have appeared inside SHIELD. Is SHIELD the SHIELD for all mankind or the North American branch of HYDRA?"

"There is now a lot of evidence showing that your dereliction of duty almost destroyed the entire SHIELD!"

A military general spoke first, leaving no room for maneuver in his words.

After this incident, it is a consensus that SHIELD will be dismantled. Everyone is dissatisfied with SHIELD for holding so much power and high technology. After all, it is better to hold it in the hands of others than in your own hands.
It's not just America. Countries all over the world have begun to take similar actions against SHIELD within their own borders.

It can be said that this is a feast for countries around the world to divide up S.H.I.E.L.D., and no one can stop it. Nick Fury is well aware of this.

"I have explained this very clearly and have said it many times. The problem with Hydra was not caused by me. In fact, Hydra has been lurking in SHIELD since the second director of SHIELD. Well, there is no point in saying so much."

"I admit that I didn't do my job well. I was seriously derelict in my duty as director. But what I want to say is that Hydra exists not only in SHIELD, but also in governments of various countries. Their goal is to rule the world."

"Instead of pursuing responsibility here, I think you should conduct a self-examination. I will submit my resignation after today's meeting." Nick Fury said unhappily, but it was all his bad luck. S.H.I.E.L.D. collapsed in his hands, so he had to take the blame.

"Although the charcoal-haired guy is a little ugly, what he said is still reliable. The most important thing now is to catch the culprit. Oh, by the way, you are busy taking over everything in S.H.I.E.L.D. and have no time to care about Hydra," said Tony, who wanted to go home for a date with Pepper Potts, sarcastically.

"Tony, please be aware of your identity!" The congressman next to him who was very unhappy with him couldn't help but say.

"The iron suits you produced have seriously threatened America's national security! And you are still making trouble here!"

"What? You want to discuss the Iron Man suit? The anti-gravity engines, turbo thrusters and other technologies you are busy trying to steal are mine. You cannot use them without authorization!"

"Do you want to ask Stark Group's legal department to come and talk to you?" Tony sneered. As a wealthy man, he was not afraid of these people.

"Alright, everyone, we are here to solve problems, not to quarrel. Nick Fury has agreed to resign, and SHIELD has taken over, so this matter is over."

"Let's talk about the next thing." This was another senior official's plan to stop others from getting entangled. The problem with SHIELD has been solved, so why bother with Iron Man?
